Chapter 235 Dowry
Xiao Qilang and Tian Qiao ran outside all day, and the couple drove the donkey cart back to the village when it was getting dark.

The residences of Xiao's family were all very close to each other. When they passed by Xiao Fu's house, they saw a carriage parked at the gate of Xiao Fu's house, and someone was moving things from the carriage.

"Who is that?" Tian Qiao looked over there, and saw that the boxes that those people brought into Xiao Fu's house were still covered with red silk, just like the dowry boxes, "What are they carrying?"

"I don't know, it doesn't matter who they are, it has nothing to do with us." Xiao Qilang didn't want to pay more attention to the affairs of Xiao Fu's family, so he drove the car a little faster, trying to bypass their house as soon as possible.

"Why do I feel that something is wrong." Tian Qiao's eyes still stopped on the carriage and those boxes, "No matter how you look at it, something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Hearing what his wife said, Xiao Qilang also glanced over there.

"Does their family have such relatives?"

"If they had such relatives, they would have publicized them all over the village." Xiao Qilang couldn't help but sneered, "How could it be possible to hide it from others?"

"Could it be cheated in the name of Fourteen?" Tian Qiao thought of a possibility, and immediately became vigilant, "If this is the case, we must let Fourteen know immediately!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qilang's expression also changed.

The donkey cart turned a corner and arrived at the door of Xiao Qilang's house.

"Father, mother!" Xiao Yuhe and Xiao Shuchang who were waiting in the yard rushed out immediately, "You are back!"

"Mom, I've already prepared the rice and washed the vegetables. I'm waiting for you to cut them when you come back." Xiao Yuhe pushed the door open so that Xiao Qilang could drive in the donkey cart. Just go wash it off."

"Yuhe is really capable!" Tian Qiao showed a loving smile on her face, "What a good daughter of my mother."

"Mom, I'm going to work too. I brought the water." Xiao Shuchang hurriedly said, "My sister asked me to help her get firewood, and I took it too."

"Okay, okay! Shuchang is also very diligent and capable!" Tian Qiao got out of the car while boasting to his son who asked for credit.She patted the dust off her body, and beckoned Xiao Shuchang to come closer.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"Mother gave you a task." Tian Qiao supported Xiao Shuchang's shoulder and said, "You take a few pieces of cake, go to play with Xiaogui and the others, and quietly inquire about something for mother."

Xiao Shuchang frowned when he heard Xiaogui, he didn't like to play with Xiaogui, and the husband still left homework, which he hasn't finished yet.

But after hearing what happened next, he regained his energy.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"Go and ask, what is the origin of the carriage parked in front of Xiaogui's house, and what happened to the things they moved to his house?" Tian Qiao reminded, "Remember, if the adults in their family hear and ask You, just say you're curious, don't say I asked you to ask."

"I've remembered, mother, don't worry." Xiao Shuchang patted his small chest and said, "I will definitely ask you out."

"Mom, I'm going too."

The siblings ran into the house to get the cake, and then ran out again, solemnly going to do the task.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two came back.Tian Qiao had already cooked the dishes, and brought the miscellaneous bean porridge made by Xiao Yuhe to the table.

"Mom, let's find out!" Xiao Shuchang completed the task, his face full of excitement.

Tian Qiao originally wanted him to wash his hands first, and said while eating.But seeing him like this, it's not easy to interrupt him, so he asked, "What did you ask?"

"Betrothal gifts, Xiaogui said that the people in the big carriages came to give the betrothal gifts." Xiao Shuchang repeated Xiaogui's words articulately, "Those big boxes are filled with betrothal gifts, and they contain a lot of good things."

"The betrothal gift?" Tian Qiao was puzzled when she heard the words, Xiao Fu's family didn't have a girl who should be married, so who was the betrothal gift for?

"Who is the bride price for?" she asked.At the same time, I mentally checked the ages of the two girls born to Xiao Erlang and Xiao Sanlang. The older one was seven years old, and the younger one was only four years old. What kind of dowry is this?

Could it be that they can be so beastly and marry such a young girl?

Tian Qiao stared closely at Xiao Shuchang and Xiao Yuhe: "I'm sure it's a betrothal gift, did you hear me right?"

"It's a betrothal gift, that's what Xiaogui said." Xiao Yuhe said, "But he doesn't know who the betrothal gift is for."

"Mother, is the dowry for the bride?" Xiao Shuchang asked curiously.

Tian Qiao and Xiao Qilang glanced at each other, then reached out and patted the pair of children: "It's for the bride, and the engagement is a formal engagement. You two should wash your hands first, and then come back to eat."

Xiao Shuchang and Xiao Yuhe went out, and the expressions of the remaining two adults were really not good.

"What kind of demons are they doing again?" Xiao Qilang spat, "Thinking of ways to die!"

The two girls in their family are still so young, what is the difference between this and selling children?
"Calm down first." Tian Qiao comforted, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter. They accept the dowry, but secretly cover it to prevent others from knowing. This..."

"Is this such a shameless thing, they have the nerve to spread it out?"

"No!" Tian Qiao suddenly figured out what was wrong, she screamed, her eyes widened, "Qi... Qilang, this is wrong!"

"What's wrong? Speak slowly, don't worry." Xiao Qilang's arm was firmly grasped by Tian Qiao, seeing her suddenly so excited, he calmed down instead, "Say it, I'm listening."

"The two young girls are not the only ones who can get married in their family!" The more Tian Qiao thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right. "Fourteen, there are fourteen more! She can get married by herself now!"

"!" Xiao Qilang was stunned for a moment, and yelled, "How dare they? Those bastards, they dare to play with Fourteen's ideas!"

"I'll go to the city to find Shisi, I'll tell her!" He said as he was about to run out, but was stopped by Tian Qiao.

"You go over now, the city gate has been closed long ago." Tian Qiao tried to calm herself down, "Don't worry, this matter can't be rushed, let's find a way to find out if it is fourteen or not. Don't be Let's scare ourselves, maybe it has nothing to do with Fourteen."

At this time, the two children came back after washing their hands. Seeing their parents like this, they thought they had quarreled, so they rushed over and hugged each other.

"It looks like you scared the child." Tian Qiao patted Xiao Qilang again, and then hugged Xiao Shuchang who was hugging her, "It's okay, I'm talking to your father, we didn't quarrel."

"Come over to eat first, and we'll talk after we finish." She pulled the family and sat down around the dining table, signaling Xiao Qilang to eat first, so as not to scare the two children.

……

Both Xiao Qilang and Tian Qiao were heartbroken after eating this meal, the more they calmed down, the more they felt that those betrothal gifts were given to Fourteen.

However, Fourteen in the city still doesn't know what happened here.

"I'll ask directly." Before the meal was finished, Xiao Qilang threw his chopsticks and stood up from his seat, "If it's really a betrothal gift, there's no reason not to let my family know."

"Don't go by yourself, ask Shangpa and Uncle to go with you." Tian Qiao suggested, "There is also Wu Cunzheng."

The current Fourteenth is not the Fourteenth Mother of the past. Now the entire Xiao family and even the entire Dawei Village rely on her. If the Xiao Fu family does anything, it will damage the interests of the entire Dawei Village.
