Chapter 107 Solved the matter
Chapter 107 Solved the matter
Peng Xiaobing interrupted him impatiently and said, "Village Chief, if you have any ideas, just tell me. There's no need to hold back on me!"
Seeing that he was shaking his face impatiently, Chen Qiliang looked at him deeply, and then said slowly: "I have a marriage here, and I will introduce it to your family."
"Marriage? What kind of marriage? Head of the Chen family, don't you know how poor our family is now? Our family can't even afford food now. How can I find wives for my sons?"
Chen Qiliang frowned and said, "You misunderstood! I don't want to introduce wives to your sons. I want to introduce wives to your dead mother and your daughter."
When Peng Xiaobing heard this, he suddenly understood. "Clan leader, you mean?"
Chen Qiliang nodded heavily.
Within a hundred miles, there are too many old bachelors who have never found a wife.
As a man, he sometimes couldn't help but feel a little pity for them when he thought about it.
Those fathers and villagers feel particularly uncomfortable when they think of their child being all alone in the underground without a wife to take care of him.
On the night of the Ghost Festival, they would burn their wives wrapped in paper. Some dead ghosts would tell their family members about their dreams in the middle of the night, saying that the wives wrapped in paper were not good.
Peng Xiaobing asked enthusiastically: "Head of the Chen family, if I sell my wife and daughter, how much do I get as a gift?"
Chen Qiliang thought seriously and stretched out his five fingers. "Your family has five taels of these."
When Peng Xiaobing learned that his house could only be sold for five taels of silver, he immediately turned his back on him.
"How could they only sell it for so little money?"
"Just my daughter, I can sell it to Peng Heizi for four taels of silver! Head of the Chen family, I don't care. Whether my daughter is dead or alive, she must be paid for forty taels of silver! If you lose a penny, I will repay you official!"
When Chen Qiliang saw that he was so cowardly and demanding so much money, he frowned and was very embarrassed.
Among those matchmakers, how many are easy to get along with?
The price he quoted was too high, and people wouldn’t want it!What is he going to do?
There was really no other way. Chen Qiliang looked at the group of villagers and said, "Did you hear that? He insisted on asking for four taels of silver. If he wants a penny less, he will report it to the official! You can discuss it again and see if each household can How much money can you pay to fill the gap of these two taels of silver!"
Someone really couldn't come up with the money, so he stood up and shouted: "Patriarch, how about this money, how much money can each household in our village contribute?"
"Yes, yes, we are all from Chenjiacun! We have to get through the difficulties together!"
Hearing this, Chen Qiliang was shocked by these shameless people.
They caused trouble, and they still want the whole village to pay to wipe their butts?
Is there such a good thing in this world?
Chen Qiliang was angry and cold, and he was upset and angry. He suddenly shouted: "You have a beautiful idea!"
"Okay, if you don't pay more, you'll just wait to be arrested by the government! I can't control it anyway!"
After saying that, he was about to take his sons back to the house.
As soon as everyone saw this posture, they quickly came over to try to stay.
Everyone said that if they think of another way, they will go to relatives and friends to borrow money.
Under the auspices of Chen Qiliang, in less than a day, those families collected two taels of silver and nearly three hundred kilograms of grain, which were all sent to Peng Xiaobing's home.
In the afternoon of the next day, several honest-looking matchmakers quietly entered Chenjia Village.
They are all people who eat this bowl of rice, and they are not afraid of corpses at all.They carefully looked at the figures and looks of the women, and after learning their horoscopes from Peng Xiaobing, they gathered together to discuss which horoscopes were bad and which ones were good.Which one can make a pair with which one, and which one will definitely have to fight underground if they are matched with each other. It is also said that those who are not compatible will have to quarrel and fight every day underground.
Peng Xiaobing listened to them talking about the horoscopes for half an hour, including the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, the four pillars and the gods, the yin house and the yang house, etc., and which day is the best time to get a wife, the best time to get married, and so on. A good day for groundbreaking... After hearing too much, he felt like his head was going to explode.
He doesn't want to know this now, he just wants to know when he can get the money!
With those few taels of money in his account, he will be able to live a good and comfortable life for at least the next few years.
Really too impatient to wait, Peng Xiaobing pulled Chen Qiliang aside.
He frowned and asked anxiously.
"Patriarch, when can they come to an agreement? Do you think they will give you those few taels of silver? If not, then I will ask my sons to carry them to the county government office today and seek justice from the master there! "
In the past two days, Chen Qi had been threatened by him like this every day, and his whole body was numb.
Justice, justice..., he has said it a hundred times.
Really disdainful of his desperate need for money, Chen Qiliang suppressed the disgust in his heart and persuaded him in a good voice.
"Be patient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. These matchmakers are fair people and won't miss your money."
"They can negotiate like this, don't they want to get things done for you?"
"They are living a good life underground, and they will definitely protect your family's long life..."
Just when Peng Xiaobing was about to reply, the two matchmakers and the matchmaker discussed the whereabouts of the three women in Peng Xiaobing's family.
One of the matchmakers, named Wei, had been dealing with Chen Qiliang for decades.They all know their roots.
He looked at Chen Qiliang and said: "Head of the Chen family, I'm here in person today because of your old age. It's almost the end of winter, and it's going to make my old bones hard." , we have been in the house for so long, and we haven’t even had a sip of hot water..."
Chen Qiliang knew what he meant, and secretly blamed Peng Xiaobing for always urging him. He brought these old guys into his house, but he didn't even understand this bit of human sophistication...
Chen Qiliang looked ashamed at this time, bowing to the matchmakers in front of him and making various apologies.
"I'm really sorry, I'm so sorry! When you and Peng Xiaobing are cleared up, I'll invite you to my house for dinner! Tonight, we won't come home until we get drunk!"
As the saying goes, every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.
As soon as those few people heard this, they had a lot of experience and vaguely guessed some of the inside story.
They all took out a few taels of silver, stuffed it into Chen Qiliang's hand, and said, "That old woman's character is very strong, and she is just right for the old man named Wang who is a hundred miles away. Here is one tael of silver."
"That little girl happens to be a good match for a boy from a rich family. I'm going to be kind and give him three taels today."
"The younger daughter-in-law is matched with Peng Heizi's distant nephew named Peng. I will give you two taels of silver."
After Chen Qiliang received the six taels of silver, he hurriedly put all the money into Peng Xiaobing's hand.
"Peng Jiazi, you take all this money and keep it safe. The bodies of your wife and daughter will be kept with you for now. They will find someone to pick them up tomorrow."
After saying that, he entertained the matchmakers and went to his home for dinner.
