Father Yu let out a long sigh, "Our family can still come up with the engagement gift. We'll talk about the betrothal gift later. I don't believe that the marriage has been decided. His family dares to cancel the engagement. Who will return the marriage to the girl who has canceled the engagement?"

Do you want it?"

Mrs. Cao was startled for a moment, and she could see that her father-in-law was preparing to cook the raw rice into cooked rice, and was going to play the game.

Mrs. Qi wants quite a lot of betrothal gifts, including a bolt of fine cotton cloth, a bolt of pink embroidered satin, two pounds of sugar, a slice of hearty meat, six fish with scales, and a jar of fine shochu. These are all

The Qi family requested it.

Everything else is easy to say, but this fine silk is not cheap.

Mrs. Cao said, "Mom, these two pieces of good cloth cost several taels of silver..."

Mrs. Yu said angrily, "She doesn't know how to buy the cheapest one. If she wants the best, she will buy the best? Then a nobleman in the imperial city has hundreds of taels of cloth. She has the life to wear that.

?”

"Mom, I'm afraid that if I can't buy it well, I'll make the girl from the Qi family angry again. If she and the third child break off, I can't bear the responsibility. Mom, you should prepare these things yourself!"

After Mrs. Cao finished speaking, she turned around and went back to her house without waiting for Mrs. Yu's reply.

Just as Mrs. Yu was about to scold her, she heard Father Yu say angrily, "Don't mess around with the cloth. It's hard for San'er to find a girl he likes. What if the Qi family doesn't like the cloth and gets angry and decides not to get married?

manage?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Mrs. Yu felt that she was a clever woman who could not make a meal without rice.

Father Yu hesitated and said, "You...don't you have a silver bracelet? Or...sell it?"

Mrs. Yu was furious at once, "No, I've only owned this piece of jewelry for so many years. I won't sell it. If you need money, go out and borrow it."

Father Yu glared at the old lady, "You don't want to marry your son?"

"Why don't you think about it? Then you can't think of other ways. Why do you have to sell my bracelet? Now that our family has lost all their money, this is the only bracelet I have, and I won't sell it.

At worst, why don't you go to your neighbor's house and pour some? The autumn harvest is about to begin, so can't you just pay them back after harvesting the grain?"

"What you said is simple. If we borrow the money for the engagement, don't outsiders know that our family has no money? Besides, there is little rain this year, and the grain is in drought. The grains are very shrunken. I'm afraid we won't be able to harvest much grain. If we lose half of it,

There is nothing left from taxes and grain."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yu felt that what Dad Yu said was reasonable. She said with a sad face, "You have just made up your mind to sell my bracelet? Can't you think of other ways?"

Father Yu looked thoughtful, and after a moment, he said gloomily, "You can't sell your house or land, but you can always sell people, right?"

"Selling people? You mean... selling that little nemesis?"

"Who else but her?"

"But... Changhe and Sun couldn't agree either!"

"Tomorrow, that girl has to go up the mountain to collect firewood. By then..." Father Yu whispered in Mrs. Yu's ear. The more Mrs. Yu listened, the more feasible this method was.

Just as Yu Changhe threw down the willow stick, he saw Mr. Ma barging in with his five sons, looking unkind.

Ma's five sons all have the tall and strong physique unique to northerners.

Stopping at Yu's house, Yu Changhe's heart trembled.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

"What's wrong? Ask your wife and your good daughter. My mother asked your daughter to be beaten. If you don't pay our medical expenses and egg money today, our brothers will demolish your house and burn it as firewood."

Ma family's eldest son Luo Daji said in a stern tone.

Although Yu Changhe didn't understand what was going on, he guessed that there must be a misunderstanding. Moreover, Ma's character was notoriously bad in the village. Even though he had five sons, he often bullied some orphans and widowers.

mother's family.

Sun and Yu Xiaolian heard Ma's arrival in the room and hurried out.

Mrs. Sun was really right, and Mr. Ma really came to visit.

Mrs. Ma pointed at Mr. Sun with her fat finger, "Ms. Sun, if you pay me ten taels of silver today, you will be defeated, otherwise my five sons will not be easy to bully."

Mrs. Sun was also panicking when facing Mr. Ma's five sons. If a fight broke out, the three of them would not be able to take advantage at all.

If you fight against these five strong men, you will probably only get beaten.

Yu Xiaolian took a step forward and said, "Mr. Ma, you broke the eggs yourself and you still dare to blackmail my mother. If you are so bad, your family will suffer retribution sooner or later."

Mrs. Sun was afraid that Yu Xiaolian would be beaten, so she pulled her back and whispered, "Don't argue with her. Go find Jiang Lin quickly."

Yu Xiaolian nodded, and just as she was about to climb over the mud wall, she heard Ma yell, "Stop her quickly, this damn girl is going to find Jiang Lin."

Although Ma shouted in time, Yu Xiaolian moved faster.

Compared to Luo Da, who is as stupid as a pig, Yu Xiaolian is like a monkey in odd jobs.

Before Luo Da climbed over the wall, Yu Xiaolian had already fled far away. Seeing that he could not catch up, Luo Da simply stopped chasing and walked back to Ma, "Mom, if she finds Jiang Lin,

what to do?"

Ma was so angry that she brought five people to block the door, but they didn't even notice the little girl. She was so angry.

"What? What can Jiang Lin do when he comes? Are you afraid of him?"

Luo Da nodded, "I can't beat him."

Ma was about to be pissed off by her eldest son, so she hit her eldest son on the back several times with her big, fat hands, "What's the use of you? What's the use of you?"

Bai has grown so tall and strong, yet you are actually afraid of a child.

Besides, there are five of us, plus your mother, six, why are you afraid of a young boy like him?"

Luo Er also said, "Mom, I think the eldest brother is right. We combined can't beat one Jiang Lin. That kid Jiang Lin is very ruthless when he beats people up. Let's go home?"

There were also a lot of thorns in the middle-aged men in the village, but Jiang Lin beat them all into obedience. He didn't want to stay here and get beaten.

"That is, if a good man doesn't suffer the immediate consequences, let's wait until Jiang Lin is no longer in the village to deal with them."

Ma was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He only shouted that these five sons were raised in vain.

The drums were set up in vain, but they had to leave in despair before the opera could be performed. Ma felt that she had lost all her dignity and was disgraced.

But her five sons are afraid of Jiang Lin and have already backed down. What can she do?

He could only take his son home quickly before Jiang Lin came over.

As he walked, he scolded his son, "Well, Jiang Lin might not be at home. You are all scared. Besides, why should Jiang Lin listen to Yu Xiaolian? He will come when she asks him to come. Look, you are so worthless.

Looks like."

As Ma said, Jiang Lin was not at home at this time. He might have gone to the mountains to check the hunting holes.

Yu Xiaolian was afraid that Yu Changhe and Sun would be bullied, so she ran back quickly.

If it didn't work, she would have to use an anti-wolf electric baton. She couldn't let Ma press her parents to the ground and rub them.

Fortunately, her anti-wolf electric baton was specially made by a colleague from the Public Security Bureau. When adjusted to the maximum current, it would not be a problem to electrocute a person.

Yu Xiaolian rushed home. Mrs. Sun said that the sons of the Luo family had left because they were afraid of Jiang Lin's arrival. She was relieved.

Father Yu took the pipe pot and glanced at a few people in the courtyard, then walked out without saying a word. Even when Yu Changhe asked him where he was going, Father Yu didn't say a word.
