The Landlord And His Wife

    Shao Huai sent the willow away, then hurriedly entered the kitchen and asked Shao Rong, who was busy cooking, "The youngest son of the Lizheng family is here today?"

    Shao Rong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah, I saw the courtyard door open and came in, but I was trained by Brother Liu Shu... What? Brother Liu told you? Wait a minute. Son! I scrambled this egg and said it as I ate it."

    Shao Huai said: "Don't fry, everyone is gone."

    "What?!" Shao Rong was stunned.

    Shao Huai shook her head and took the prepared meal: "You put the fire down, talk while you eat." Then he went out.

    Shao Huai asked about today's matter, Shao Rong said, Shao Huai said angrily: "Now I'm getting more courageous! I dare to come! It's too much to bully others!"

    Shao Rong said: "Forget it, he didn't come here too much before. Today, he may be watching the courtyard door open... Brother, how is your business? Sister-in-law's side... What do you say? of?"

    Shao Huai didn't say anything, Shao Gui said: "It's alright, my sister-in-law just kept the door closed and didn't eat or drink, scaring her parents... It was still October this year. I didn't say this, but my brother did. There's no way to break off the marriage!"

    Shao Rong nodded: "That's right! You shouldn't give it back, it's too much for these people!"

    Shao Huai said: "You don't have to worry about this..." Sighing, just like Liu Shu thought today, it won't work like this! There are times when you can't take care of yourself, so...

     shook his head, remembered something again, and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go out!"

    Shao Gui said: "It's getting dark, what are you doing out?"

    "Find someone... It's okay, it's nearby, don't worry." He was about to go out.

    Shao Rong hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! Brother, there is something else, Brother Liu Shu came here today with 10 taels of silver, saying that it was lent to us, called buying land. "

    "What?!" Shao Huai and Shao Gui were all startled. Shao Rong had already got up and went to her and her sister's room to bring the money.

    Shao Huai stared at it, her eyes widened, Shao Rong said what Liu Shu said, and said: "Actually, Brother Liu Shu really wants to help us, but he is afraid that we will have to lose face. I'm willing to accept it, so I said so much, and after waiting for my brother for a long time, I wanted to talk about it."

    Shao Huai then sighed and said: "The tree family are all good people... If you accept it, just accept it. I also thought, it won't go on like this. This kid dares to come today, and he will say later. Maybe even more dare to come! If you can't make sense, maybe you will give us a hard time."

    Shao Guichou said, "Brother, what should I do?"

    Shao Huai thought for a while, but got up and went out. The two sisters were in the room, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what he wants to do. Shao Huai walked out of the courtyard, stood on the side of the road and shouted, "Fat baby!"

    After a while, the courtyard door of Yang Youbang's house opened. Yang Youbang, who was far away, stretched his head and glanced at it, then jumped out and ran to this side along the path for a while, smiling. Ask: "What's the matter, Brother Shao Huai?"

    Shao Huai looked for a hand, and the two of them squatted on the earthen bag in front of the gate of their house. Shao Huai asked, "Fat baby, how is your grandma's milk?"

    Yang Youbang was inexplicable and nodded: "Okay, okay!"

    "Is your family...separate?"

      "

    "If you split up, what can you get? Can your land be divided equally? Are you still working in the Liushu family's workshop? What do you think? Will you be farming in the future? Do you work in the workshop?"

    Yang Youbang continued to scratch his head, but he understood a little, he smiled and said: "Of course it is farming! I have four brothers, and the family has little land, and it is not my turn to work. If you go out to find work, the Liushu family has a good job. After two or three years of work, I will have the money to buy land, and then I will buy two more acres to grow it myself... If we split up, of course we can also get the land."

    Shao Huai nodded and asked again: "Then my family has offended Lizheng. If Shao Gui follows you...Are you afraid? Lizheng will definitely trouble you!"

    Yang Youbang was surprised and delighted, he jumped off the dirt bag, stood up straight and patted his chest with a 'bang bang' sound: "Brother Shao Huai, don't worry! It's still a relative of the Lizheng family! Why should I be afraid of him?! I have six brothers, all of them will come if anything happens! If you really are willing to give me Shao Gui... hehe... I must protect her!"

    Shao Huai laughed, and jumped off the dirt bag and said, "Okay, I understand, you also plan to plan, Shao Gui is not too small, and it is not a problem to drag it on... Go back and discuss it with your parents, mainly because of the situation of my family... It's so poor, if your parents don't agree, you should speak up earlier, so that I can find someone else for my sister!"

    Yang Youbang became anxious when he heard it, jumped and said: "My parents must agree! They all have to listen to me! Brother Shao Huai, you must give me Shao Gui...then What, I'll go back and tell my parents!" As soon as he turned around, he was about to run.

    Shao Huai hurriedly held him back: "Wait, wait, I haven't finished yet!"

    Yang Youbang stopped again and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

      Discuss it with your parents, if they are willing, discuss the dowry, but the dowry I give to my sister has nothing, only..."

      I'm afraid I can't make it my own. You and Lizheng are relatives again, so he can't embarrass you. That place will be my sister's dowry. You find a way to find Lizheng and go to the yamen to register. The money is all you need... Remember, I will pay the money for the formalities. The main thing is to rely on you to come forward. It is also your land. I have already given it to you. Don't ask Li Zheng to embarrass me about this! Mother made this clear, the land was created by me, and it was also the money I paid for the formalities, and it was given to my sister as a dowry. It's just that you need to come forward."

    Yang Youbang said anxiously: "But, that is the only land in your family! Shao Gui is given as a dowry, what do you do... or I will exchange a piece of land for you!"

    Shao Huai laughed, shook his head and said: "Your boss is a good person, and he came to my house specially today, just to borrow money for me, I also thought about it, buy land! Go far, this The village really can't stay... Don't worry, it's around Fengxian, I'll buy two acres of land and plant flowers well."

    Yang Youbang said in surprise: "Really?"

    Shao Huai nodded: "Really, I have to think about this matter slowly, Shao Gui, I want to settle down first, just look at your home... Go back and ask, but don't say I will go first Don't talk about it today. In order to get along well with Shao Gui in the future, you can also hold your breath and ask your parents in a couple of days... Fat baby, I just want to see that you are sincere to my sister. Looking for you like this, don't disappoint me and my sister."

    Yang Youbang jumped off the dirt bag in a hurry, patted his chest and shouted, "Brother Shao Huai, don't worry! I am sincere, and the world is outstanding!"

    Shao Huai laughed: "Okay, I understand, go back quickly. Remember, don't say anything today."

    Yang Youbang said with a smile: "You can rest assured! I have some numbers! I will talk about it in a few days!" Go back!" He said and ran away.

    Shao Huai looked at his back and smiled, shook her head, and went back to the courtyard to close the door.

    I entered the main room where I ate, but Shao Gui was nowhere to be seen, only seeing Shao Rong, Shao Huai understood: "Why? Did you just hear it?"

    Shao Rong smiled and nodded: "It's right at the gate of the courtyard, can you hear it so loud..." Then he smiled and asked: "Brother, are you really going to talk about my sister's marriage? Why is it so sudden? ?"

    Shao Huai said: "What's the sudden? The fat baby told me last year, I told him not to tell his parents first... Last year our business was better, I want to give more Your sister earns some dowry, and she won't be looked down upon after she gets married... Who would have thought that Lizheng's family had that idea."

    Shao Rong nodded: "Alright, in fact, our family still has some money. Fortunately, you have paid the bride price for your sister-in-law, and the sister's dowry is also included!"

    Shao Huai nodded: "Yeah, that's fine." There are still more than two hangings in his hand, and everything to prepare for the dowry is enough. It is a low-class field, and it is also very face to be a dowry.

    "Brother, will the money Liu Shu lent us? Are you really buying land?" Shao Rong asked again, worrying: "What about the ten taels of silver, when will we be able to pay it back?"

    Shao Huai nodded and said, "It's going to be used, the willow tree has a good heart and wants to help us. We can't help but take this kind of love from others. What happens when we do? What's the matter, I'm going through fire and water!" He took a sip and said: "With 10 taels of silver, I've decided to buy two acres of medium-sized fields, let's plant flowers, work hard, and you can earn it back in a few years. After getting the money... Let's see, I guess he won't ask for interest... Anyway, I'll see at that time, what they need, brother will repay! Always remember love for the rest of your life."

    Shao Rong nodded: "Well, in fact Brother Liu Shu doesn't have to repay us for anything, just help him when he needs something."

    Shao Huai nodded, thought about it, and said: "Last time, the young master of the Shi family was right, we really can't stay in this village. If you find a place to live, anyway, you are going to move out of this village. This house is for your sister and Pangwa to live in, and show us the house. Pangwa's family is a distant relative of Lizheng's family, which is higher than Lizheng's seniority. He can't be domineering in the village and even bully his relatives, right? Then people from their own clan can't agree."

    Shao Rong nodded, "Yes."

    Shao Huai added: "This is just thinking in advance. It's not so easy to find a house... I have a plan in my heart."

    The brothers and sisters talked and ate the meal.
