Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 222 Chapter 220: Another Moth

The hairpin is not pure silver, but a hollow hairpin inlaid with copper and silver, with a lifelike pear blossom on the root.

It's dark, but you can still see it so close.

Zhang Lihua fell in love with it as soon as she saw it, she felt so sweet in her heart, she reached out to take it, "I like it."

This hairpin is carved with pear blossoms, that's her.

When Zhou Shitou heard that Lihua liked it, he immediately laughed like a fool, and said, "I'll continue to save money, and when you pass the door next year, I'll buy you a sterling silver hairpin!"

Zhang Lihua also pursed her lips and smiled, not knowing how to express the joy in her heart, she just felt full of happiness.

Zhou Shitou gets up early every day and works in the dark, and has rarely seen Zhang Lihua in the past month. Looking at people now, he feels that his little girl has grown beautiful again, so he took the hairpin and put it on her head.

"Ewha, you're so pretty!" She tilted her head to look and look, and smiled again, as if feeling embarrassed, and hurried to help twist the clothes to cover it up.

Zhang Lihua was delighted to hear that, and felt embarrassed, but when she saw that this man came to help her wash her clothes, she was startled, and hurried over, "I'll do it myself, so go back quickly, my aunt is still waiting for you." Let's eat!"

The father and son came back late by car, so Zhou's dinner was naturally later than other families.

Although the two were engaged, but if people saw them getting together and Zhou Shitou washed her clothes, they would have to talk about things.

Zhang Lihua was also afraid that her reputation would be bad, which would ruin the marriage.

Zhou Shitou also understood, so he reacted now and nodded, "Then I'll come to see you again when I have time. There are people coming and going in the inn, so you should pay attention to your own safety."

Zhang Lihua nodded, watching Zhou Shitou's figure scurry into the blackness, then he washed his clothes in a hurry, and went back up the gentle slope with a basin in his hand.

Halfway through the walk, when he thought of something, he quickly took off the hairpin on his head, and carefully put it next to his body.

I went back to the yard, went to the backyard to hang the clothes, and heard the sound from the upper room as soon as I came out.

"Father, can you still be angry with your son and daughter-in-law? Your grandson Bai'er has been in school for two months, and the husband praised him for being smart! You said that it would be a pity if you didn't send him to school. Our Zhang family is a good student." Seedling?"

"The shop has not been able to make a profit in the past two months, which is enough for daily expenses. My son feels very sorry for not being able to get back the money. Honor your father!"

"Father, you don't know, Xinghua came back with a letter, and the county magistrate is very optimistic about her. This time, Xinghua will be selected to enter the palace, and there are so many of them who enter the palace. The place needs to be managed, and the money in hand is low, how to compete for favor?

Son, this is also for the good of our Zhang family!I took out all the money in my hand, but it was far from enough, Dad, you can't just ignore it! "

"Father, please also be considerate of my son! Now Xinghua is here, but our family's most important thing, and we have to take care of it. If she becomes successful, will we lose the glory and wealth of our Zhang family? It's Songer's place." , if you have a cousin who is a noble person in the palace, isn't it much easier to take the imperial examination and career?"

Zhang Lihua's heart twitched after hearing these two ears. Is this third uncle coming back to get money again?

But how can the family still have money?Her parents have signed the contract for ten years, how can they sign again?
Thinking of third uncle's sudden strange attitude just now, she also felt a little scared in her heart, third uncle wouldn't plan on her, right?

But even if she was sold, it would cost at most ten taels of silver.

Zhang Lihua wanted to listen again, but she didn't dare to stay when she saw that there was movement in her uncle's room.

Rolling his eyes, he quickly ran to Song Qiu's room.

Not long after, a thin figure flew out of Song Qiu's house, and stuck to the roof of Zhang's upper house as silently as a nighthawk.

In the upper room, Zhang Laodou finally came back to see his son rarely. It was a nose, not a nose, not an eye, and he was still angry!
The first time he was injured, he didn't come back to look at it. He asked for money several times and said he didn't have it. Now he was in a hurry, but he knew he would come back and open his hand!
He didn't want to care about it at first, but after listening to the last sentence, he hesitated in his heart.

At first, the young couple decided to send Xinghua to the draft, and he was willing to give 50 taels of silver, but didn't he just think that Xinghua could be selected as a nobleman, and the Zhang family would also be beautiful?

Besides, Xinghua can become a nobleman, his eldest grandson will take the imperial examination and go to the official career, and a cousin will help pave the way in the palace, how bad is it?
Now that Xinghua has embarked on this path, she should really plan well. This is not just a matter of the third son, but a major matter of the Zhang family, and he should help.

Thinking in this way, Zhang Laodou felt relieved, in fact, since the third son came back with good wine and cigarettes to accompany him to ask about his health, his heart has calmed down a lot.

After all, he loves the eldest son, but also loves the third son, the first son born after life and death.

If you are a father, how can you forget about your son?

Zhang Laodou's face softened, but he hummed, "I'm not for you, this is for my granddaughter Xinghua, tell me, how much money do you need this time?"

Seeing that his father was loose, Zhang Digua was overjoyed, he wasted so much talking, and spent money to buy good wine and tobacco leaves to come back!
He hurriedly said: "Not much, not much. The county magistrate is optimistic about Xinghua, and he also promised to give Xinghua a sum of money for her to take care of along the way. Silver will do.

It's the first time our family has done this kind of thing, and I don't know how many. I just want to do my best to prepare it, and the rest depends on Xinghua's luck! "

"My husband agreed to take out 200 taels of silver. Xinghua Niang and I gave Xinghua all the belongings first. If we could make up 50 taels, we borrowed 50 taels from a close friend. A total of 100 taels silver was collected.

There is also Xinghuaniang and her cousin, because they value Xinghua, they are willing to give Xinghua 200 taels of silver.

I thought about Dad, if we pay another 100 taels of silver, we will prepare a total of 600 taels of silver for Xinghua, which should be enough. "

The in-laws paid 200 taels, and the cousin, an outsider, also paid 200 taels. The son only needs to get 100 taels at home.

The face-saving Zhang Laodou almost didn't have to respond, and he couldn't even refuse this matter.

100 taels of silver, if he refuses all of them, how will his in-laws think of him?
How could he have the nerve to take advantage of Xinghua's promising future?
The last time he grabbed this spot, he paid less than his in-laws, and now he can't miss anything.

But at home, after buying a house for Song'er, all the belongings are not worth a few taels of silver.

Where can I get the 100 taels?

Zhang Laodou couldn't get angry and wanted to say something more than his in-laws, let alone the 100 taels.

For a while, I was really worried.

Old Deng, who was listening silently and not speaking, did not express any opinions. Anyway, when discussing such important matters, her son didn't talk about her, and all he wanted was for his father to nod.

Old Deng pouted in his heart, just looking at the eyes of the third child, he knew that he had no good idea.

She squeezed her fingers, thinking that if this old guy dared to mention the second room again, she would send him half a pack of rat medicine to see the king of Hades later!

This time, she will never compromise again, and she has no weakness to compromise.
