Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 960 Ask Boss Zhou for Help
The youngest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family was at home. She was married later, so she didn't know Zhou Cuilian yet.But she also knew about Zhou Cuilian's return to the Liu family.

Now that this woman who looked like her man stood at the door, Zhou's daughter-in-law probably guessed who it was.Just across the door: "You are Zhou Cuilian, right? Don't go back to the Zhou family, isn't it enough for you to embarrass the Zhou family?"

Zhou Cuilian ignored the little daughter-in-law, and jumped on her feet and shouted directly: "Brother, I'm Cuilian, and I'm coming back to discuss a deal with you."

"Business? What kind of business?" The Zhou family's daughter-in-law was now interested. She went to the door and asked through the fence: "What else can you do? I heard that after you returned to Liu's house, you were like a housewife. I have to do all kinds of work. If your second girl comes, I believe there will be business."

Zhou Cuilian knew that if she didn't come in, she might not be able to speak, so she quickly stretched out two fingers and said, "Ask my elder brother to help me, I'll give him two taels of silver."

"What? Two taels of silver?" Zhou's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

You know, Pingshan Village is really poor.Don't look at the prosperity of the Liu family, it's all due to Liu Ya alone.For the rest of the family, even if they live a good life, their annual expenses are only more than two taels of silver.

When it comes to people like the Zhou family, they have no other livelihood except farming, that is, they only have enough food every year. If it is said that extra money comes into the account, it is very little.So these two taels of silver are really a big deal in the eyes of Zhou's daughter-in-law.

Therefore, she quickly opened the door and asked, "What is the deal with so much money?"

Zhou Cuilian looked her over and said, "I have to tell my eldest brother about this in person, I can't trust others."

"Okay, wait a minute, he's gone to pick up dung in the back. I'll tell him to go." After Zhou's daughter-in-law finished speaking, she twisted her waist and left.

After a while, first a smell came in from the outside, and then I saw the boss of the Zhou family wearing ragged clothes and covering his face with a cloth, wiping his hands while entering the house.

He also didn't look good towards Zhou Cuilian, if his wife hadn't told him that she had two taels of silver, he wouldn't have bothered to talk to her.

Zhou Cuilian quickly pinched her nose, and said, "Brother, if I have something to say, just nod if you think it's okay, if not, I'll ask someone else to help."

"Then let's hear it." Brother Zhou tore off the cloth covering his face, took a breath, and said, "If you lie to me, see if I won't kick you out of the house."

Zhou Cuilian fanned the wind in front of her to disperse the stench, and said, "That's what happened. Our family plans to marry the Wu family, but..."

Boss Zhou frowned after hearing this, and said, "Is this possible? That's your own daughter? Besides, isn't this a violation of the king's law?"

"How could you violate the king's law? Our two families exchanged wedding invitations, and I accepted the dowry. The girl was born to me, and of course I can decide who she marries." Zhou Cuilian slapped the wind twice again, and said: " Brother, just ask if you can help. If you can, don’t reveal this matter. When the day comes, you will bring the rope.”

Before Boss Zhou could make up his mind, Zhou's daughter-in-law came over and gave him a push, saying, "What's the matter? You're Liu Xu'er's uncle. It's normal for her to see her off, and it's against the law."

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhou Cuilian: "However, two liang of silver is a little less. This matter is laborious and troublesome. We will live in the same village from now on. If Liu Xuer comes to our house to make trouble, we will not stop. This matter We won’t do it if it’s less than five taels of silver.”

"Five taels? No." Zhou Cuilian shook her head directly and said, "At most three taels of silver, and I'll give it to you only after you deliver the person."

Zhou's daughter-in-law thought for a while, gritted her teeth, and said, "That's fine, it's settled like this. The day tells us, and we will go there when the time comes."

Zhou Cuilian said the specific date for the work, and studied it carefully with Boss Zhou and Zhou's wife in a low voice, and then hurried back.

That day, Zhou Cuilian's attitude towards Liu Xu'er changed, and she tried her best to coax Liu Xu'er to be happy.He also went to pay Liu Dacheng a compensation.She keeps saying that she is Liu Xu'er's mother, and that she is also thinking of Liu Xu'er.

Then he rushed to do the work, and went to make delicious food for the two of them.She also said to Liu Xu'er: "Xu'er, since we are going to be engaged, shouldn't we also prepare the things for getting married? Tomorrow morning, our mother and I will go to the town to buy your dowry."

Liu Xu'er was easy to soften her heart, although she was slapped by Zhou Cuilian yesterday, but now seeing that she treats her well and wants to buy her a dowry, her anger has subsided.He nodded and said: "It seems that it is time to buy some things. But I don't understand."

"It's all your mother's fault. You were not at home before, and no one told you about it. But now you have your mother by your side, accompanying you to get married, and your mother will help you with the dowry," Zhou Cuilian said. After finishing, he ran to ask Liu Dacheng what he meant.

When Liu Da saw Zhou Cuilian's enthusiasm, he calmed down, nodded and said, "It stands to reason that a girl should be a mother for Zhang Luo when she gets married. I don't know what to buy. Then you can go to town tomorrow."

As he said that, Liu Dacheng also took out a purse, handed it to Zhou Cuilian, and said, "With the money in it, buy some good clothes for Xu'er. I've got everything I need to buy. If it's not enough, or if it's fancy If you have any big items, you should settle with them first, and then you can get them back next time."

Zhou Cuilian took the purse and weighed it, it was quite heavy.When I opened the bag, I saw that it was all broken silver, and the color was not bad.Added together, there are more than five taels.

Thinking that the more than five taels of money was for Liu Xu'er's dowry, and Liu Dacheng said it was not enough to add more, Zhou Cuilian swallowed her saliva.

But she handed over the money bag to Liu Xu'er, saying: "You take this money. Mother is helping you choose things and thinking about what you need. You should spend the money yourself, and mother will not touch it."

Seeing what Zhou Cuilian said, Liu Dacheng nodded, took out a few pieces of silver and handed it to Zhou Cuilian, and said, "This money is for you, you can also buy two sets of new clothes. After all, you will send Xu'er out on the day she gets married. Yes, the clothes must be new."

Zhou Cuilian took the money, shed two tears, and said, "Dacheng, I feel really sad to hear you say that. I don't want Xu'er to marry off."

"Don't talk nonsense, my daughter will marry when she grows up. It's best if she can marry a good man." Of course Liu Dacheng felt uncomfortable, but he thought that as long as Liu Xu'er was happy, Xu Chenming would love her in the future. Personal life is fine.
