Outside, under the forceful suppression of their father, the two children finally stopped messing around with their grandma. After each scooped up a piece of snack, they ate and ran out to play.
Mrs. Cui carefully packed the snacks, Zhang Dayong took out the last few bundles, and the two of them went back to the house together.
As soon as they entered the room, the two saw that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right. After asking, they found out that the sisters-in-law, Li Shi and Zhang Jinfeng, had just quarreled and almost made a move.
Mrs. Cui didn't care much about her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, and let them beat her if they wanted to, as long as they didn't break her things. So, after hearing the report from her youngest son, she didn't take it seriously, and just cursed: " You know how to fight every day, and there is no good cake." After scolding, I was busy checking these burdens.
Soon, the baggage was untied one by one, and all kinds of good things appeared in front of him. Cui looked through it and said in surprise: "My mother, why did you buy it again?" What about these old cotton cloths and cotton? When Er Yong came back the year before last, he bought back a lot of them, so I kept them there for no use, and now you bought them again, there is almost no place to put them!"
When Zhang Jinfeng heard this, he curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and said: "My second brother bought those fabrics and cotton for everyone to share. Fortunately, you kept them for Sanyong. We didn't get anything. Those old things are all gone." Cover it, is there no place to put it?"
It was a matter of profit, and Mrs. Li immediately forgot the enmity with Zhang Jinfeng, and said angrily, "Shouldn't the cotton fabrics brought back by Er Yong have to be kept for San Yong? San Yong is going to be the champion in the future. High-ranking officials, how can we ordinary people with mud legs deserve to be compared with others? The same people have different fates. Although they were raised by their fathers and mothers, we are also worthy of working hard to earn money and provide for others. When people go to school, it’s their turn to eat and drink, so they use what they don’t want and leftovers. It’s been all these years, haven’t you tasted it yet?”
As soon as Lao Zhangtou heard his daughter-in-law's sour words, he knew that the old woman's family property was extremely unqualified in the past two years. Although Mrs. Li was tricky, she seldom said that directly about the old woman in the past. Now, she can imagine her attitude towards her. How dissatisfied with the old woman.
You can also imagine how deeply the old woman offended her daughter-in-law!
Why! All these one by one are disturbing!
The old Zhangtou came out of the kitchen with a dark face.
He just came back from this family, and no one asked him if the journey was hard, whether he was thirsty or hungry. As soon as he came back, he saw them fighting like roosters, and he was all screwed by them. big.
It’s better to stay in Fuzhou. Fuzhou not only has a good temperature and environment, but also the people around you are nice.
Although Er Yong still refuses to listen to his offer to marry Duo Er, he believes that sooner or later Er Yong will find that Duo Er is good, and sooner or later he will marry her. At that time, he can spend his old age peacefully by the side of his second son and second wife up.
Although staying there is considered to be away from home, but he is also happy, there is his favorite child there, and there are no such troublesome things, if he stays there, he can live at least five years longer. Year!
When Cui heard her daughter-in-law raped her, she cocked her neck and said forcefully: "Why do you keep it for Sanyong? Sanyong is going to marry the third lady of the master's family. A lady from a rich family will marry us. Why don't you give someone more dowry? Can you compare with others?"
"Ms. Yu from Grandpa's house? What's going on? Why don't I know about Mrs. Yu from Grandpa's house?" Zhang Xingwang was dumbfounded by the old woman's words.
Mrs. Cui said proudly: "Isn't that true? Sanyong of our family has a promising future, and he actually passed the exam for a scholar. Master Yu, who runs a herbal medicine shop in the town, thinks highly of him, and intends to marry his daughter to Sanyong. Tian even specially sent a matchmaker over to make a marriage proposal, and it happens that you are back, so let's take advantage of these few days to get Sanyong's marriage settled."
"Mother, how many times have I said that I don't want to marry Miss Yu, so please forgive me." Zhang Sanyong said with a frown.
"No, marriage matters are all ordered by your parents and the words of the matchmaker. You can't tolerate your disapproval. Let me tell you, the Yu family has prepared eight boxes of dowry for the third lady. This is oh, you can find it even with a lantern." It's a good thing, if you dare to make me dirty, do you think I will forgive you?"
"Is it the raw medicine shop next to the town's yamen?" Zhang Xingwang asked.
"Isn't that the one? There are three pharmacies in our town, and the one with the most profitable one is the largest and the most profitable. If we Sanyong marry his daughter, we won't have to worry about going hungry for the rest of our lives! "Cui's eyes were full of calculations, and he said happily.
Zhang Xingwang was silent.
He knew the biggest Yuji pharmacy in the town, and he also knew who the shopkeeper was. Although the shopkeeper had no personality flaws, he had big appearance flaws—it was as black as a piece of shit, and the sky was dark. Never look at him.
Moreover, it is said that their family is black. In Qisong Town, if anyone sees a person who looks dark on the street, someone will definitely ask: "Is that person from the old family?"
It can be seen that the Yu family has become so dark that everyone knows it.
Although being black is nothing to be ashamed of, in this society where white is considered beautiful, who would want their genes to be lowered? Especially now that their family no longer needs to use marriage to improve their living conditions.
"Let's talk about this matter later, Sanyong is still young, so there is no rush to get engaged." Zhang Xingwang said.
Hearing this, Zhang Sanyong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you father, my son must study hard and never disappoint father's expectations."
When Cui saw her son and the old man exhaling from the same nostrils, she was not happy, and said to her son, "No, you have to marry Miss Yu for me, otherwise don't recognize me as a mother. If you don’t want to marry, you have to meet a lowly girl, what’s so good about that lowly girl, she’s not as good as Third Miss Bai.”
When Zhang Xingwang heard this, he pulled out another lowly girl, and couldn't help being taken aback again, lowly girl? There's a lot of information here, right? Could it be that San Yong has a sweetheart himself
Thinking of this, he looked suspiciously at his youngest son: "San Yong, what's going on? Tell me about it."
Zhang Sanyong originally pointed his father back to make decisions for him, so when his father asked, he didn't hide anything, and said straightforwardly: "Father, I have taken a fancy to the leader of Fenghuang Village, please help me find someone." Go to the Shen family to propose marriage!"
"Whose family does Lingdi belong to? Why don't I know her?" Zhang Xingwang rubbed his chin and thought about it, thinking all over the girls in Fenghuang Village he knew, but he couldn't figure out who Lingdi was.
"It's the girl who works at Princess Zhan's house. She was originally the daughter of the villager Shen Dachui, but was later sold to the Shen family by their father. Dad, aren't you still a middleman? Why did you forget it so quickly?"
"Among those girls?" Zhang Xingwang lost his voice.
Back then, he still remembered the scene where he helped Shen Dejian buy those girls. He also vaguely remembered those girls. Although he didn't know their names, and who was the second child and who was the boss, He always deeply remembered that those girls were all skinny and sloppy. Not only were they thin and dirty, but they were also very dark and ugly. I really don't know where the youngest son's eyes went.
"San Yong, are you sure you're in love with that... that... what's that about?"
"Lingdi!" Zhang Sanyong reminded.
"Yes, that's Lingdi, are you sure you've found her in the truth?" Old Zhangtou asked uncertainly.
"Yes, I fell in love with Lingdi, so I fell in love with her." Zhang Sanyong replied very positively.
When he said this, his eyes were full of certainty and his face was sincere, but only he knew that he half-rolled his eyes and didn't pay attention to that Lingdi, a wimpy little girl, who was dark and ugly. If you are not worthy of being a girl to him, how can you be worthy of marrying him as a wife
In fact, at the very beginning, he wanted to play Ju'er's idea. It's a great thing to be a brother-in-law with King Zhan. In the future, if anyone knows that he has such a brother-in-law, he will have to kneel and follow him. He talked, didn't he just get promoted and get rich as a matter of course
However, before his ideas were put into action, the Second Miss of the Shen family became famous, and she was destined to be the princess of King Ding.
He is a common man with a flat head, how can he compete with other princes? After thinking about it, in order to climb the big tree of King Zhan, he had no choice but to take the next best thing and ask for their maid.
Zhang Sanyong is extremely conceited, although that girl is not in his eyes, but for the sake of future glory and wealth, he gritted his teeth and admitted it.
Damn, let's marry him into the house first. When he gets promoted and gets rich one day, he can buy a few beautiful maids to make up for it. Anyway, they all sleep the same, even if his name is unknown!
With such calculations in mind, he resolutely asked to hire Lingdi. As for the lady from the shopkeeper's house that my mother said, she was just a girl from a small family. ah? There is no comparison at all!
It's a pity that his old mother didn't know what he was thinking, and thought he was really tempted by that girl, she beat her chest and shouted, "No, that Zhaodi was bought by Shen Lanya's family, back then Shen Lanya called you The second brother was thrown halfway, but now you want to marry a girl from their family, you are the most promising child in our family, so willing to be low, are you trying to piss me off?"
Zhang Sanyong didn't express his dirty thoughts in front of his parents, brother and sister-in-law, because these people in the family are too untrustworthy, he can guarantee that if he can't tell his true inner thoughts, it will take less than an hour , his sister-in-law, his sister, and even his old lady who failed to accomplish anything but failed to do so, had to spread his thoughts all over the place.
If that's the case, wouldn't his wishful thinking be in vain? Isn't his bright future, prosperity and wealth all catching cold
So, in desperation, he had no choice but to act affectionately, and said to his father (actually to several people in the room), "Dad, I really like Miss Lingdi, although she is not beautiful , but she is simple, kind, and still..."
After thinking for a while, he added, "I can still work, I just want to marry such a girl, why don't you go propose marriage to Second Uncle Shen for me, you saved Second Uncle Shen's life, he will definitely marry Lingdi to me of."
Zhang Xingwang looked at his son carefully for a long time, seeing that Zhang Sanyong couldn't hold back a little bit, so he said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I'll go to Jizhou to see that girl when I'm free later, if she really has What you said is so good, I'll talk to your Second Uncle Shen for you."
"What are you talking about? Didn't I say no? Why didn't you listen?" Cui couldn't help getting mad when she saw that the father and father were talking to themselves, and none of them took her seriously. , "I said no, no, no, why don't you both listen, and fart what I say? I can't speak well?" Cui shouted angrily.
The old Zhangtou didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he took out a purse from his arms and threw it to him directly: "Here, this is a silver note of five hundred taels of silver, take it away, don't lose it!"
Cui Shi has been waiting anxiously ever since the old man said to give her five hundred taels of silver. Seeing that the old man gave her the silver bill, Cui Shi was so happy that she squeezed her hands tightly, and by the way, He quickly ran to Sanyong's house and stole thousands of them.
