After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 32
Dong Rong said slowly, "Mother, I cannot marry Widow Dong."

Mother Dong was stunned: "Rong'er, what are you talking about?"

Dong Yingying's eyes widened: "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? When did mother ask you to marry Widow Dong?"

"My luggage and books are packed." Dong Rong pursed her lips, "I will not marry Widow Dong."

Mrs. Dong saw two boxes and cages at his feet, opened them and saw that they were full of clothes and books, it didn't look like a fake.

She had no choice but to say dryly: "But I have accepted all the dowry money..."

Dong Rong's eyebrows cast a shadow: "Mother is very calculating, I took ten taels of gift money from Mrs. Gu earlier, and now Heli asked Mrs. Gu for 80 taels, promised me to Widow Dong and took another ten taels, mother. My dear, the abacus is really loud..."

"What are you talking about?!" Dong Yingying suddenly exploded, "Mother, are you crazy? Promise your elder brother to Widow Dong? Don't you know how her husband and son-in-law were tortured to death by her?"

"Widow Dong gave ten taels of silver..."

"Big brother's life is only worth ten taels?"

Dong Rong looked at the two of them, and said word by word: "Although Madam Gu wrote the divorce letter, she didn't go to the yamen to register for the record, so the divorce letter doesn't count. If my mother insists on marrying her son to Widow Dong , just wait to go to jail."

He bent down and lifted the two boxes on the ground, and walked into the back room.

Dong Shi and Dong Yingying looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't even know there was such a thing.

Before the two of them could think clearly, Dong Rong came out of the room: "I have spent a lot of money on my studies these years, and my family has worked hard. Now my mother has also taken 80 taels of silver from Mrs. Gu. After paying off the money I spent on studying all these years, from now on, Mom won't have to worry about me anymore!"

Dong Rong took out a purse from his sleeve, "This is the two taels of silver I earned from copying books in my free time, and I will give it to my parents. I have married and become a husband, and I will have nothing to do with the Dong family from now on."

Holding two boxes and holding a torch, he walked out of Dong's yard silently, and Dong Rong walked all the way to Gu's village.

He is very familiar with the road, he just passed it half a month ago, and he will soon reach the road of Gujia Village.

Half a month ago, he left Gu's house overnight, and half a month later, he left Dong's house overnight.

It was already dawn when we arrived at Gu's Village. Some people in the village got up early and had already started preparing breakfast. Scattered cooking smoke floated into the sky.

Dong Rong walked all the way to the door of Gu Qing's house, and Mo Li came out of the yard carrying a bucket.

He looked at Dong Rong with a sneer and said, "Your mother just took away 80 taels, and you come here again. Are you using the owner as a cash cow? Come and shake it if you have something to do? Get out of our Gujia Village quickly."

"I'm not here to ask for money."

Dong Rong said calmly, and he took out a money bag from his sleeve.

He pursed his lips and said, "Here is half a tael of silver, return it to the owner first, and I will pay back the rest of the money later."

When Mo Li saw the bag of copper coins, a flash of disbelief flashed in his eyes. Last time Dong Rong left resolutely, and yesterday Dong's mother asked for money with arrogance. Now that he came back, he couldn't be holding back some bad ideas, right?
He didn't dare to make up his own mind, so Gu Qing called out when he entered the room.

Gu Qing was still sleeping soundly in her dream, this body was too weak and always made her feel tired.

"Patriarch, Dong Rong is here." Mo Li walked in, gently shook Gu Qing to wake him up, and lowered his voice, "He said he came to pay back the money, and he brought half a tael of silver."

Gu Qing rubbed her eyes, her eyes were sleepy, and she said, "Help me up, I'll go out and have a look."

Putting on his outer shirt and going outside, he saw Dong Rong. He was still wearing the same clothes he left home half a month ago, a washed white gown. Righteousness.

She walked over, stood behind the courtyard gate, and said in a low voice: "Dong Rong, your mother said that I ruined your future, and I also paid 80 taels of silver to your mother, and now we are settled."

Dong Rong couldn't recognize Gu Qing at first sight, but after a while, the Patriarch actually became much more attractive: "The money Patriarch gave to my mother, I will slowly return it, it's half a tael of silver, please accept it from Patriarch Down."

He handed over the money bag.

Gu Qing took it over and weighed it. It was heavy, and there were indeed a lot of copper coins.

Doubt flashed across her mind, his mother came to ask for money, and he came to pay it back. What kind of new routine is this?

It seems that she has to ask someone to inquire about it.

"The money is your compensation, you don't have to pay me back." She returned the money bag to Dong Rong, and said, "Now you can't study, so what are your plans in the future?"

He beat her before, and yesterday his mother came to extort money in person. Dong Rong only thought that the patriarch was angry for not letting him study, "I'm going to copy books for someone, and I'll copy more, and then Pay back the money to the owner."

Gu Qing shook her head: "I told you, you don't have to pay me back! I heard from your mother yesterday that she found another marriage for you, and the other party is a widow?"

Dong Rong suffocated: "The head of the family only gave the divorce letter, but did not go to the yamen for filing. You and I are still husband and wife. How can one husband marry two wives?"

"I still have to go to the Yamen to file for the record?" Gu Qing looked at Yang Pei: "Is what he said true?"

Yang Pei smiled helplessly: "Really, so let him in quickly!"

Gu Qing was stunned: "That is to say, he can still take the imperial examination?"

"En! That's right!" Yang Pei raised his forehead. He had never seen the Patriarch go to the Yamen to file a record. He thought that the Patriarch was trying to pick the two of them. After a long time of quarreling, he didn't know the process at all for two days.

Dong Rong was also taken aback, he thought the same as Yang Pei, but the truth made him feel even more uncomfortable, so the Patriarch really doesn't want him anymore...

For a moment, Dong Rong found it hard to accept.

Gu Qing, who came back to his senses, immediately snatched Dong Rong's purse back, hid behind Yang Pei and revealed half of his head, and said, "You don't want to hit me again, your mother blackmailed me for 80 taels, you have to give me [-] taels." I work and pay back!"

Yang Pei looked at Gu Qing amusedly, and pushed her into the yard: "Master, hurry up and wash up, the little brother who will receive the goods will come soon."

"Come in!" Yang Pei reached out to help him with his luggage.

Dong Rong was taken aback for a moment: "The Patriarch, Patriarch means that you want me to stay?"

Yang Pei pursed his lips: "Why, you don't want to stay?"

Dong Rong shook his head again and again.

Gu Qing went back to the house and bought a toothbrush and towel for Dong Rong in the virtual mall, and asked Zhu Han to bring it to him.

Dong Rong is going to be a scholar, and several members of the family also want to study, and she also bought pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but there is too much work these two days and there is really no time for them to study. Now that Dong Rong is here, there are many people and work quickly. In the evening, they can read together.

Zhu Han taught Dong Rong to brush his teeth, went into the kitchen to bring the cooked millet porridge and meat pancakes to the yard, and called everyone to eat.

Gu Qing drank a bowl of porridge, sat at the gate of the courtyard with pancakes, stared at the direction where the little brother came from the mall, and gnawed a mouthful of pancakes from time to time.

Dong Rong had never had such a sumptuous breakfast before, and seeing that several members of the family had their hair tied with silver hairpins, he was quite shocked when he thought of what his mother said about the head of the family getting rich.

Zhu Han pushed him, "Don't be in a daze, since you're back, eat quickly, it's easy to work!"

Under Dong Rong's doubts, they quickly finished eating and cleaned up, when they heard the familiar sound of horseshoes outside the door.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Yang Pei and the others went to the main room to carry out the baskets of mushrooms they bought last night. Only then did Dong Rong realize that the main room was full of mushrooms.
