farm wife

Chapter 3

Speaking of which, Ruan and Xu's family moved here almost together, and they have opened up a lot of wasteland in the past few decades. Counting the generation of Boss Ruan and Boss Xu, there are still more people in the Xu family. After all, the Xu family There are five brothers, the Ruan family and even Ruan Ziwen add up to only three.

But since the Ruan family has cattle, more fields will be reclaimed, and more fields will naturally yield more harvests.

The more you gain, the better your life will be.

The Xu family has no cattle, and more people eat more. Even if they are compared to the Ruan family, in addition to paying taxes and rations, they also have to provide for a school, and they have to tighten their pants all year round.

On the surface, the Xu family seemed to be fine, but in fact they were extremely jealous, wishing for something to happen to the Ruan family.

The Ruan family has always been smart, and the village is only so big, and the other party knows a lot about urine. If they really want Ruan Ziwen to be buried with Xu Dayan, not to mention that their own family will not agree, even the Xu family doesn't have that kind of thought. Just a little bit more.

This Xu Dayan is from the third house of the Xu family, and the people in the third house are not showing up, but the other few people are showing up.

All of them are full of calculations, what else is there if it's not for money?

Xu Laosan remained silent, squatting aside and scratching his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu's third daughter-in-law, Shan, hugged Xu Dayan, whose body was still limp, and almost fainted from crying.Tears rolled down Xu Dayan's face, the daughter may not look very good in the eyes of others, but in her mother's heart she is very good.

The girl Xiangshi is tough, and she can't stand being bullied wherever she goes, she never thought that something would happen, who knew that this person would be gone if he said nothing.

If it weren't for the little girl and son, Shan would have wanted to go with her.

Xu Dayan was hit by tears, and his eyelids moved even more.

No one in the Xu family thought of comforting Sanfang, let alone paying attention to Xu Dayan's situation.

She racked her brains to think how to ask for more money, but also wanted face, so she didn't ask for any compensation, and kept clamoring for Ruan Ziwen to be buried with her.

Who didn't know that the Ruan family was so favored, and they were admitted to Tongsheng at a young age. If they didn't take the exam this year, they might have been admitted to Xiucai.

How could the Ruan family give up such a treasure? They would definitely ask for compensation.

You can't tell, the more rigid you are, the more compensation you will be given.

The Ruan family saw it, and had no choice but to ask for compensation, planning to use money to settle the matter privately.

I never thought that the lion of the Xu family would open his mouth and ask for 200 taels from the Ruan family, which is extremely shameless.

"If you don't pay, the worst case is to go to court." Ruan Ziwen was angry, stood up and said loudly: "I am not at fault in the first place, and I don't know how the judgment will be when the time comes."

Old Ruan shivered, even if Yao'er was really found not guilty, he would be known as a murderer, and he would never want to go to school in the future.

"Say something nonsense, why don't you hurry and pull him back!" Old Ruan was startled and angry.

Uncle Ruan's eyes flickered slightly, he stood up, and said meaningfully to the Xu family: "Think about it, asking for 200 taels is almost fatal. At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and you will get it to the yamen. At that time, your family will also go out." Got a name."

It's okay to be famous, but if you can become famous in this way, the problem will become bigger.

The Xu family didn't care about Xu Dayan's reputation, but they were afraid of hurting the first few juniors in the family who were negotiating marriage, especially Xu Laowu who was studying in the town, and they hesitated for a while.

In fact, the Xu family also knew that it was not realistic to ask someone for 200 taels, and the lion opened his mouth in order to bargain. Who would have thought that the Ruan family would be so tough, and if they did not bargain, they were in a dilemma for a while.

In the final calculation, the Ruan family should pay 50 taels of silver, otherwise they will go to the government.

These days, a catty of rice is only sold for 50 Wen, and 6000 taels of silver is more than [-] catties of rice, which is enough to feed the twenty-odd members of the Xu family for almost ten years.

Not to mention far away, to marry a daughter-in-law in the village, it is generally enough to have five taels of silver, and 50 taels of silver is not only enough for the first few young wives in the family to do the dowry, but also has some left over to repair the house.

This abacus is not so precise.

It's not that the Ruan family didn't have 50 taels of silver, but the 50 taels were taken out and the house was wiped out.

The Ruan family gritted their teeth with hatred, but there was nothing they could do. They went to see the officials without paying the silver. Compared with 50 taels of silver, it was more important for Ruan Ziwen, a future scholar, or even to raise a scholar. down.

Fortunately, Xu's family agreed to take the silver and carry him away, but the Ruan family swallowed this resentment, and asked Mrs. Ruan to get the silver.

Just as Mrs. Ruan was taking the silver, Xu Dayan, who was holding the corpse, opened his eyes.The eyeballs are staring like a bull's eye, silently staring at him, his eyes are terrifying.

"The dead have opened their eyes!" Ruan Silang was only three years old, and he was looking at Xu Dayan curiously, but when Xu Dayan gave him a stare, he burst into tears in fright, and went straight to the back of old Ruan's head.

The dead opened their eyes?Everyone subconsciously looked at Xu Dayan.

Well, I opened my eyes, and my eyes widened.

Uh.

The plasma all over his face, coupled with these big eyes, was too terrifying.

Not to mention the Ruan family, even the Xu family was trembling with fright.

Xu Dayan couldn't be dead, come back to find trouble, right?
Mrs. Xu was close to each other, her heart trembled suddenly, instead of thinking of running away, she stretched out her hand to wipe her eyelids.

"You're dead, why are you opening your eyes, close them quickly!" Mrs. Xu's voice changed in fright, but it was a fight for the 50 taels of silver.

A group of people were looking forward to it, thinking that it would be no big deal, just smear their eyelids.

Just now I almost looked at it carefully, this Xu Dayan is really dead, it should not be alive.

Mrs. Xu thought in her heart that Xu Dayan listened to her the most on weekdays, even if she died, she would be obedient, so she closed her eyes obediently.

Who would have thought that Xu Dayan suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Mrs. Xu's hand, and kept tightening it.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts..." Mrs. Xu screamed out of pain and shock.

I pulled it hard a few times without pulling my hand out, and the voice changed: "You are all dead, why don't you hurry up and help!"

The Xu family was frightened, and they stepped back one by one, and no one dared to move forward.

He doesn't even care about his own family, let alone the Ruan family.

"Let go, let go of Dayan, this is your grandma..." It was Xu Laosan and his wife who came to their senses and rushed to break Xu Dayan's hand.

Mrs. Xu's hand was rescued with great difficulty. When she looked at her wrist, it was pinched red. She immediately became angry and slapped Mrs. Shan: "Are you dead? The reaction is so slow, do you want to Watching me get strangled?"

Shan Shi was beaten, covering her face and not daring to speak, she lowered her head and looked at Xu Dayan cautiously.

Really cheating?

Xu Dayan's eyes moved over, and looked at Mrs. Shan.
