On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times
Chapter 153 Stingy
Xiao Lian was amused by her: "You talk so old-fashioned now, what does the generation gap mean?"
Now she is used to her sister saying strange things.
"We just have different ideas." Xiao Xiao thought to herself: It's normal for us to have a generation gap after hundreds of years.
This barrier can be so thick that it is invulnerable.
While they were joking, the two sisters passed by a shop. They had no need for this, so they had no intention of going in and planned to go shopping on another street.
Coincidentally, Mrs. He also accompanied the matchmaker out with a smile on her face. When she saw them, she immediately lowered her face and said angrily: "Why are you still here? Don't pester my uncle in the future."
She wanted to let the matchmaker know how popular her son was.
You can also ask her to tell the woman's family when she goes to propose marriage, so that the Wu family will not be too worried.
The matchmaker's eyes lit up when she saw the Xiao sisters.
They have seen many young girls. The first thing they look at is not what clothes you are wearing, but your eyebrows and skin color.
Seeing that the two girls had fair and shiny skin and lively eyebrows, she smiled and nodded to them.
These were two potential good customers. Whether they wanted to get married or become aunts, she felt that she could make them happy.
"Hey, what a big face." Xiao Lian sneered: "What kind of sweet dreams are you doing in broad daylight? What kind of wealthy family do you think yours is?"
"Or is it your son who looks better than Pan An?"
In the past, the Xiao family thought that the He family had a house and shop in the town. If their eldest sister married there, they would not have to work in the fields or worry about money, and they should be able to live a good life.
But until something important happened, they would not know that the He family looked down on them.
But now that their household registration is also in the city and they have bought a shop, they feel confident instantly.
Mrs. He didn't expect Xiao Lian to be so sharp-tongued, and she blushed angrily and said, "You, if you don't want to offend my uncle, why are you hanging around in front of our store?"
"Passing by." Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow and looked at her in surprise: "Is it possible that if you pass this way, you have to stay and buy money?"
Mrs. He suspected that she would be angered to death by them.
The meaning behind her words was that she was a bandit who took over the mountain and became king.
She wanted to yell, but she was afraid of damaging her own image, and she was also afraid that her husband and son would have other ideas when they heard the sound.
She knew that her elder man was still obsessed with Xiao Xiu.
She understood better that Miss Wu was indeed not as good-looking as Xiao Xiu, but if her son married Xiao Xiu, he would be troubled by the Xiao family.
My family is not strong enough to withstand such a torment.
But if he marries the eldest girl of the Wu family, he can establish a relationship with County Magistrate Chen, and they can also go sideways in the city in the future.
Moreover, the Wu family has bought a big house and a restaurant, so it must be a rich family, and the dowry for the eldest girl will definitely be large in the future.
She took a deep breath: "Get out! Get out as far as you can!"
Xiao Lian still wanted to quarrel with her, but Xiao Xiao pulled her away: "We still have to go shopping, don't pay attention to people who are confused." The main reason is that people nowadays are very enthusiastic about gossip, comparable to paparazzi.
After just a few words of exchange, many people from all directions stopped to watch the show, which was quite lively.
She didn't want to provide anyone with something to talk about.
When the matchmaker saw them leaving, she felt a little regretful. She hadn't even started talking to them yet?
A woman who knew Mrs. He asked curiously: "Did Mrs. He meet a customer who came to visit her? Or did she meet a picky customer?"
He wanted to save face and sighed: "There are three girls in their family, and their father is a gangster in a casino. It is not easy to marry into such a family. Isn't it just because they are our fellow villagers and come to hang out from time to time? I really I'm afraid of them, because I'm afraid of relying on my husband."
Then he let out a long sigh: "You don't know, people like them will use any means to marry into a good family."
If you play rough with her, she will ruin their reputation.
Everyone is particularly interested in this kind of romantic affair, and everyone talks about their children.
Even though none of us are rich, our sons are not as beautiful as trees, and our daughters are not as beautiful as flowers, when it comes to their children, they all want to boast to the sky.
At the same time, he reduced the other party who rejected his marriage to dust, and had to step on him a few more times before he stopped.
Finally, the liquor store owner next door to the He family couldn't stand hearing it anymore: "They are not just living in poverty. They bought the He family's restaurant. It just opened today, and the business is pretty good?"
The Xiao family had lowered the price when they came to buy wine from him. For the sake of long-term business, he also sold it to them at a cheaper price than what was sold in bulk.
Knowing that they were opening today, I went out of my way to take care of their business.
After the wine shop owner finished speaking, he saw many people staring at him. He even touched his short beard with an afterthought on his face: "His chili fried lard residue is fragrant, spicy and goes well with rice. I went to eat three days before the opening and it was still delicious. I got a plate of boiled peanuts and a plate of sweet and sour pork loin for free, and they taste great."
"Really?" Those who can open shops are mostly from well-off families, and they don't feel bad if they occasionally go to a restaurant to have a toothpaste: "Is his food expensive?"
"It's not expensive." The owner of the wine shop also likes the feeling of being in the spotlight: "The fried lard with chili peppers only costs 12 cents, and a bowl of rice costs 2 cents. My meal is less than 15 cents."
Someone on the side joked: "Old Qiao, you are really stingy. When you go to dinner, you are not even willing to order meat."
Qiao Dongjia wanted to save face, so he immediately said: "I'm going to eat tonight, and I want sweet and sour pork, sour and sweet..."
Mrs. He suspected that there was something wrong with Lao Qiao's eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Did you make a mistake? They can't be the boss, they are probably the waiters who go to work, right?"
"I'm not blind. If you don't believe me, just go and see for yourself." Qiao Dongjia hates others doubting his words the most. He doesn't want to lose face.
Besides, he didn't like the He family, so when he bought the house, he specifically told the neighbors that they were relatives of Inspector Zhao. If he needed help in the future, he could go to her to help introduce them.
To put it bluntly, one is to show off, and the other is to make money.
It would definitely cost money to ask her to help with the recommendation.
Besides, even if they have something to ask for, they have been here for several generations, and opening a shop will inevitably involve dealing with the county government. Who doesn’t have a way out?
The younger brother of his wife's sister-in-law is also an errand in the yamen. Even if he is asking for help, he doesn't have to go to Inspector Zhao, who is new to the country and has not yet established himself.
Mrs. He was humiliated by him. She always felt that others were laughing at her behind her back for talking nonsense. She was ashamed and embarrassed. She forgot about the matchmaker, turned around and hurried back to the shop.
The matchmakers had heard enough of the gossip, and were thinking of going to a small restaurant for a meal one day, and getting close to their elders, so that when their children get married, they would think of themselves.
