Chapter 6 bride price

  He Tong fell on his back in anger!

  Since he was a child, he has always been the smartest and proudest one in the village. How has he ever been oppressed and humiliated like this?

   Is this still the fat man from the Su family who can only chop people with a knife?

  When did you become so eloquent?

  Two classmates and the surrounding people also gathered around one after another. Su Xiaoxiao's words hit the nail on the head and were clearly organized. Even if she didn't know it beforehand, she now understood the cause and effect.

  The reason is that the scholar was deceived by the matchmaker, and then he regretted the marriage on the day of the wedding, and now he will not refund the bride price.

   "Girl, how much dowry does he owe you?"

   "Twenty taels!"

   There was a gasping sound all around!

It is only two taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law. Although a son-in-law is more expensive, it will not exceed six taels. Considering that he is a scholar and good-looking, he will be given ten taels at the top.too much.

but

   Everyone's eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao's fat body, and they probably understood why the price was so high.

  This face is in the countryside... No one really wants it.

"Su Fatty! You don't look at your own virtue!" He Tongsheng said furiously.

  Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "What kind of virtue do I have, has it delayed the gift you owe my family?"

  Everyone couldn't help but nodded secretly. This fat girl has excellent logic, and she has never been led by the nose by that scholar.

  She talked about the facts, with reasons and evidence. On the other hand, the scholar seemed to be so excited that he insulted a little girl in the street.

  The IQ and pattern of the two are different from each other.

  At this moment, even the two classmates couldn't help frowning at He Tongsheng.

  There are more and more strange eyes around.

  He Tong was angry and said in a panic: "Say, say, maybe you and the matchmaker tricked me into coming to the door together! Yes! It must be like this!"

  Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "In that case, we will see you in court."

   After finishing speaking, she turned and walked towards the Yamen.

  If He Tongsheng thought she was threatening him.

   Well, he guessed right.

  There is also a man of unknown origin in the family, how could she let the people in the yamen notice the Su family without knowing the real identity of the other party?

   But judging from the conversation just now, He Tongsheng didn't know that she already had a husband-in-law.

   Otherwise, with his face, he would have to scold her for being shameless.

He Tongsheng is a scholar, if he is stained because of this matter, then he is very likely to lose his chance to get a job.

   "Stop!"

  He Tongsheng threatened, "Your Su family is domineering in the village, and you have done so many stupid things. Can you really get out after entering the yamen?"

  Su Xiaoxiaoli ignored him.

  Psychological warfare, a stupid scholar is not enough to fill the gap the between teeth for her.

   Sure enough, when he reached the corner, He Tongsheng gritted his teeth and chased after him.

   "Su Fatty!"

  Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Have you decided to pay back the money?"

  The person is still the same person, but for some reason, this smile made He Tongsheng stunned for a moment, giving birth to the illusion that Su Fatty is charming.

  He turned his face and said in a charitable tone: "I can refund you half of the money, and let this matter be over."

   "You dropped something." Su Xiaoxiao looked at his feet.

   "What?" He looked down.

"Face."

  He Tongsheng: "..."

   "Brother official messenger." Su Xiaoxiao walked towards the policeman who was patrolling the liquor store opposite.

  He Tongsheng's eyebrows jumped: "Ten, fifteen taels! Fifteen taels should be fine!"

  Su Xiaoxiao didn't seem to hear, and continued to walk towards the policeman.

   "Eighteen taels!"

  Su Xiaoxiao came to the policeman.

   "What's the matter?" the policeman asked.

"I give!"

  He Tongsheng stomped his feet!

  Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "I want to ask Brother Guancha how to get to Jinji."

  ...

  Su Xiaoxiao seized five taels of silver from He Tongsheng on his belt, and asked him to issue an IOU for the remaining fifteen taels, which should be paid off within three days.

   Immediately afterwards, Su Xiaoxiao went to a tailor shop.

  Buying clothes was not in the original plan, after all, two hundred wen is not much.

   Now that she has money, she thinks about changing some country clothes for Wei Ting and the three little Doudings.

   "Bought for the husband and the children?" The proprietress was very enthusiastic.

  Su Xiaoxiao smiled.

After leaving the tailor shop, there were still four taels of silver left in his hand.

  She went to the grain shop again and bought twenty catties of cornmeal, ten catties of white flour and ten catties of rice.

   When went to buy meat, the stall was almost closed.

   "How do you sell bacon?" she asked.

  The butcher is a young man, he said: "Fifty Wen a catty, all are good meat!"

   "So expensive."

   "My place is the cheapest! You can go to other places and ask, at least sixty yuan!"

   "Where's the fresh meat?" Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask.

  The butcher said: "The business is closed. If you want, I will give you ten cents a catty."

  In ancient times, salt was expensive, and the cost of bacon was high, so the price was naturally high.

  Su Xiaoxiao decided to buy fresh ribs and pork belly and cook them herself when she went home.

  The butcher saw that she bought dozens of catties at once, and asked with a smile: "Girl, there is still a pair of pigs in the water. If you don't mind it, you can take it. Anyway, I have to close the stall."

   Pig offal was a good thing in the previous life, but it was not so popular in ancient times, mainly because people didn't know how to do it.

  Of course, it’s not an exaggeration to the point where no one buys it after throwing it away. After all, poor people can’t eat a few meals of meat in a year, and pig offal is a little bit meaty.

"Thanks."

   To make bacon, you need salt and spices.

   When Su Xiaoxiao finishes shopping, it will be almost afternoon.

   With so many things, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't move them back by herself.

   It was also her luck that she ran into Old Li driving an ox cart at the gate of the market.

  Old Litou just sold two old hens, bought two catties of brown sugar for his grandson and pregnant daughter-in-law, and brought some New Year’s goods for the villagers in the village.

   "Uncle Li." Su Xiaoxiao greeted him.

  Old Li pulled the bullock cart and ran away!

  Su Xiaoxiao blocked his way.

   "Uncle Li, I want to go back to the village, please give me a ride."

  In the past, Su Fatty was not so polite. He always called out to Mr. Li and sat on it without saying hello.

  If you are lucky, Su Fatty will not pay for the car.

  If luck is unlucky, Fatty Su will take some money from Old Li.

  Old Li scolded himself for being unlucky, he was just extorted of money yesterday, and it happened again today!

  He won't feel that Su Fatty is going to be arrogant just because Su Fatty is polite to him.

  Old Li is about to cry, but what can he do?

Don't make this little bully unhappy, the Su family has two more bullies with stronger fists!

  Old Li with a mournful face asked Su Xiaoxiaolian to bring the goods into the bullock cart.

   Half way back to the village, the bullock cart was stopped by someone.

  Three rascals in the town, the leader is Brother Dao, who is a few years younger than Su Cheng, and was released from the yamen not long ago.

  He turned the knife in his hand, glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, and smiled unexpectedly: "Yo? Isn't this Brother Su's daughter? What a coincidence."

  Old Li's face changed.

   It's over, guys, he's going to lose his stuff in the bullock cart!

  Unless Su Fatty helps him—

  But it is impossible for Su Fatty to help him!
