Chapter 478, jealous (tx42 more

"I heard from Xu Huiniang that you are engaged? Why, can her family give a dowry of 30 taels? If not, it would be ridiculous, Ge Qingshan, don't you think so?" After Xu Jiaoniang finished speaking, she closed the door with a bang.

I feel happy for no reason.

That's right, Xu Jiaoniang needs 30 taels of dowry, but Xu Huiniang doesn't need it?you say it's ridiculous
It's not about the dowry at all, it's about Ge Qingshan's mother who doesn't like Xu Jiaoniang.

As for why he doesn't like it, what does it have to do with him?Ge Qingshan's mother, at first glance, is bitter and mean, and anyone who marries in will never try to please her.

Ge Qingshan stood at the door, stunned, unable to recover.

He didn't expect Xu Jiaoniang to say this.

In fact, he came here just to tell her, to ask her if she would wait for him, and when he became famous, she would make peace with Tu Wan, and then go with him.

But he never dreamed that when Xu Jiaoniang told him about his engagement, he would talk about the 30 taels of dowry.

The whole body was trembling, Xu Jiaoniang's words made him suddenly very angry.

Turn around and walk home.

After arriving home, Mother Ge greeted her, "Qingshan, where have you been? Let me tell you!"

"Are you engaged to me?" Ge Qingshan asked coldly.

"Ah, yes, it's Hui Niang, you too..."

"How much dowry did her family promise to give?" Ge Qingshan asked.

"Well, I didn't ask about this. She is the youngest daughter in the family, so there should be no less, Qingshan, let me tell you..."

Ge Qingshan looked at his mother coldly, with hatred in his eyes.

"What are you talking about? When you were Jiao Niang, you had to ask for a dowry of 30 taels. I never understood it. The family didn't have a hard time. Why did you ask Jiao Niang to give you 30 taels of silver? It's my fault that I didn't understand it at that time. I thought you loved me and would think about me, but now I understand that I was wrong, you will love me there, you only care about your selfishness, you are afraid that I will forget my mother when I have a wife, but you don’t want to Thinking, Jiao Niang is so good, I will work harder to study and improve after I marry her, and she will respect you, you only have your ridiculous selfishness, you didn't think about me at all, so you decided on Xu Huiniang, what I'm talking about today Leave it here, you go and get Xu Huiniang back immediately, you are still my mother, even if I hate you and resent you in my heart, I will be filial to you, if you don't go back, I will leave immediately, and I will never step on it again If you take one step into this house, you will just treat me as dead without my son!" After Ge Qingshan finished speaking, he stepped into the room.

Mother Ge stood where she was, stunned, shocked, and flustered. It took her a while to cry, "I'm all for someone, I'm all for you!"

In the past, when she cried, Ge Qingshan would come to coax her and obey her, but today she cried like this, Ge Qingshan didn't come out.

When the door opened, Ge Qingshan stood at the door with a bundle in his hand, "I'm leaving, take care!"

"Qingshan, where are you going?" Mother Ge held onto Ge Qingshan's wrist tightly, not letting him go.

"You won't understand how much I like Jiaoniang, and you won't understand how much your selfishness has hurt me, because you don't understand love, and you don't understand what your son is. For those who look like me, I will work hard to make progress and work hard all these years to make my family's life easier. I can see through other people's schemes, but I never thought that my mother is the most vicious and selfish one!" Ge Qingshan Throwing away Mother Ge, "I put the 50 taels of silver in the cabinet, it will be enough for the rest of your life!"

"Qingshan..." Mother Ge screamed.

"At this moment, I hate you, because you have ruined my life's happiness!"

After Ge Qingshan finished speaking, he walked away from the house.

Some people, he thought they would wait for him forever, were just lost due to an accident.

He thought he would forget, but today, when he saw the charming Xu Jiaoniang, seeing her delicate face, and her eyes fading into clear water without any emotion, he suddenly realized it, and it hurt his heart.

The despair of complete loss made him collapse.

Ge's mother chased for a long time, but she didn't catch up with Ge Qingshan.

Desperately walked home.

She has always known what she is thinking, and if her son finds out, he will definitely not forgive her.

Well now, he finally saw through and said such cruel words.

Leave her alone at home and leave.

He also said, he hates her, she is his mother, how can he hate her?

How could this be!

Xu Huiniang never dreamed that when her marriage with Ge Qingshan was settled, Ge's mother came to withdraw the marriage. Naturally, she refused, but Ge's mother's attitude was tough, and she immediately became the laughing stock of the whole village.

Said that she was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, and all the girls in the village laughed at her.

Xu Huiniang's eyes were swollen from crying, even the two sisters-in-law watched coldly, ignoring her or comforting her.

Together, they decided to marry the silly son of a landlord in a neighboring village.

That son is not really stupid, but he is a bit fat, not as smart as others, and he smiles when he talks, which looks abnormal, and he likes to drink, beats people when he is drunk, and has already killed two wives.

For the sake of money and face, Xu Huiniang just put her whole life on it.

When Xu Jiaoniang heard what the auntie said, her face was calm.

"I heard that she asked for a bride price of 50 taels, and that family agreed!"

"Is that young man really stupid?"

"I don't know if I'm stupid or not, but I just know how to beat people. Anyway, this marriage is not very good, but Hui Niang wants to marry with all her heart, and I can't persuade her. Her mother is too. Just seeing the dowry gift of 50 taels of silver, Huiniang will be married." Push it to the fire pit!"

"That's also Xu Huiniang's own choice. If she doesn't want to, can her mother force her with a knife? She chose the road herself, and she has to bear the ups and downs in the future. Auntie, what do you think of my clothes? "Xu Jiaoniang took out the clothes she made for the uncle to see.

I don't want to say more about Xu Huiniang.

She didn't want to pay attention to the matter of the second bedroom.

Each day went its own way, and she was not in the mood to take care of the trivial matters of the second room.

The aunt also saw that Xu Jiaoniang was not willing to listen to the affairs of the second room, so she went to see the clothes she made.

Xu Jiaoniang called a few children over and brought them food.

Hearing them call aunt softly and tenderly made me the happiest.

Kissing this, kissing that, the desire for Tu Wan faded a lot.

Seeing that Xu Jiaoniang likes children so much, the uncle said, "Jiaoniang, you gave them a younger brother and sister earlier, Tu Wan is not young anymore!"

"It's not in a hurry!" Xu Jiaoniang laughed.

"Is Tu absolutely in a hurry?"

"He didn't say it, but I didn't see that he was anxious. This kind of thing will happen naturally, and besides, I'm afraid I'm not in good health!" Xu Jiaoniang said softly.

"..."

The uncle was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"I had a stomachache when my period came, and I kept taking medicine, and now I'm taking it every day. I just suspect that Tu Wan insisted on me taking that medicine!"

"What's the benefit of eating it?"

"I feel that my hands and feet are not so cold, and my stomach doesn't hurt so much during menstruation!"

"..." The uncle thought for a while. "Why don't you let your elder brother ask quietly, without telling Tu Wan?"

"It's better not to ask, since Tu Wan doesn't want me to know about this kind of thing, I just pretend I don't know, and I'll take the medicine I should take, but the medicine is a bit expensive!"

From a grain of [-] Wen to a grain of [-] Wen now, I don't know how long it will take.

"For the sake of the child, you have to eat it. Let me tell you, if the problem lies with Tu Wan, it's fine. If it's with you, you can't be willful. We women have to have a child. If there is no child, a man will just eat it." It's easy to change your mind, you listen to your aunt about this matter, ask your elder brother to ask quietly, and ask the doctor not to tell Tu Wan, what's going on, you have to know what's going on, so you say yes!"

When Xu Jiaoniang heard this, she felt that there was some reason for her aunt's worry.

"Then I will let my elder brother ask me quietly, and don't let Tu Wan know!"

"Don't worry, your elder brother will do things safely!"

As the two talked, the aunt also started to take out the soles of her shoes.

Xu Jiaoniang helped look after the children.

"Auntie, let's have dinner here, I'll cook something delicious!"

"Success, cook more, I'll let your sister-in-law come over to help later!"

Xu Jiaoniang called a few children out of the house, and brought out a marinated rabbit, washed it and cooked it in a pot, and brought out another piece of meat to cook.

Uncle Qingcai's natal family brought them, and then cooked a pot of rice, fried some pickles and bamboo shoots, and the meal was over.

After the whole family had eaten up, the uncle sent back the three daughters-in-law, grandsons and granddaughters before returning to Jiaoniang's side and living in the hut with the uncle.

The uncle has neighbors over there, if something happens, the neighbors will help, but Xu Jiaoniang is alone on her side, so the uncle and the uncle are not at ease.

Xu Jiaoniang slept alone on the kang, but she was actually not afraid.

But with my uncle and auntie by my side, I feel much more at ease.

An Xin was also worried about Tu Wan, not because he was worried that he would not make money, but because he was afraid that something would happen to the people he brought or himself.

"Huh!" Xu Jiaoniang exhaled.

For things like hunting, Xu Jiaoniang felt that it would be better not to go there in the future.

Even if you go, don't bring so many people, too much money is given.

This spring is different from winter.

After waiting for another three days, Tu Wan and the others came down the mountain. They picked or carried them one by one, and they got two tigers and a leopard. The rest were pheasants and hares, and the pheasants and hares were still alive.

Xu Jiaoniang looked at the prey in the yard, let out a breath, and went to boil water for Tu Wan to eat. After eating, she had to send it to the town.

"Jiao Niang, let's raise the pheasants by ourselves, and the wild rabbits will be raised by uncle soon!" Tu Wan whispered.

Go into the mountain once, get a few ferocious prey, and make a profit this trip.

Xu Jiaoniang nodded.

did not speak.

"Jiao Niang, are you unhappy?"

"I'll tell you when you come back from town!"

Tu Wan suddenly felt uneasy.

I always felt that Xu Jiaoniang might be angry.

After eating, they called for someone to send the prey to the town, but the housekeeper couldn't help laughing when he saw Tu Wan.

Among other things, tigers and leopards are rare things, especially this leopard, it would be very good to catch one.

The housekeeper ordered 500 taels of silver to Tu Wan.

"Master Tu, please send it next time!"

"En!" Tu Wan nodded.

I went to the bank to exchange the silver, and hurried home quickly.

Xu Jiaoniang boiled hot water, and Tu Wan came back to let him take a bath.

"Take a hot bath and go to sleep!"

Where did Tu Wan sleep? After taking a bath, he took Xu Jiaoniang's hand and just watched.

When he was in the mountains, he missed her.

I was afraid that she would be scared at home alone, and also afraid that she would be coaxed away.

Two days earlier on the mountain, I heard that Xu Jiaoniang had taken a fancy to a scholar in the village.

A scholar, that is a scholar, and he is a hunter. When he heard this, he lost his temper and tried his best to get a leopard, thinking about earning more money.

"Jiaoniang..." Tu Wan hesitated to speak.

Seeing him like this, Xu Jiaoniang sighed.

He took off his clothes and lay down next to him, "Sleep, I haven't slept well these days!"

Tu Wan fumbled to kiss him, and Xu Jiaoniang didn't refuse him, but this time he was a little harsh, less tender and more eager.

Until the matter subsided, Xu Jiaoniang leaned against Tu Wan's arms, "What's wrong with you?"

"Girl!"

"Ok?"

"Don't leave me!" Tu Wan said softly.

"..."

Xu Jiaoniang was taken aback when she heard this.

"What do you say this well!"

Tu Wan said nothing.

Just hug Xu Jiaoniang like that.

"Tu Wan, since you can't sleep, let's talk!"

"Okay, say it, I'll listen!"

Xu Jiaoniang thought for a while before she said, "Tu Wan, we now have 5000 taels of silver in our hands. Compared with many people, they can't earn so much in a lifetime. It's really much better. I didn't think about what to do. On rich and noble days, such a flat and warm life is the best for me, and you too, don’t go to the mountains any more, just go for a few days, I’m worried if you go to the mountains, go in the morning and come back at noon, it doesn’t matter if you have prey, if you want to sell it or eat it yourself Cheng, I don't ask you to earn a lot of money, I just ask you to be safe and sound. We agreed to grow old together. Tigers and leopards are beasts. If you are bitten, you may die. I don't want you to take risks. This risk!"

Xu Jiaoniang said, her voice softened a little, "Tu Wan, I don't want to control you. I don't want you to be hurt or hurt because I care about you!"

Tu Wan took a deep breath.

Think carefully, what is he drawing?It's not just to let Jiao Niang live a good life.

But when he went to the mountains, Jiaoniang was alone at home, and she was worried, so it would be better to earn less money, let alone live a rich life, at least enough to live comfortably.

"Jiaoniang, I won't be like this in the future. I'll go hunting in the morning, and I'll definitely be back by evening!"

"Ok!"

Xu Jiaoniang nodded and rubbed against Tu Wan's arms, "Sleep!"

"En!" Tu Wan responded.

I want to ask Xu Jiaoniang if she still misses that scholar.

But the words came to my lips, but I couldn't say them.

It finally turned into a sigh.

He was actually very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep while hugging Xu Jiaoniang, but Xu Jiaoniang hummed twice and fell into a deep sleep.

Tu Wan looked at the daughter-in-law in his arms.

He never dreamed that one day he would worry about gains and losses.
