Wangfu small peasant girl

Chapter 1007 50 taels of silver

Eating candied haws, Xu Pingqiu paid attention to the movement in the upper room, "Pingwu, my sister told you, if grandpa and grandma ask us to go out later, you must..."

After listening, Xu Pingwu said in surprise, "Sister Yue really did this?"

"Yeah." Xu Pingqiu nodded, "Although I don't know what's going on, but I believe sister Yue won't harm me, do you believe it?"

Xu Pingwu thought for a while, and nodded, "Well, I also believe that Sister Yue will not harm us, I know what to do."

In the upper room, the old couple of Xu's family, the eldest and the second couple are all there.

Xu Qiaosheng pondered for a while before saying, "Second brother, you are leaving today, and a woman has come to marry Ping Qiu."

Upon hearing this, Wang hurriedly asked, "Really, which family are you talking about? How is the family? Do you have any money? How much dowry do you want to give?"

After asking a few questions in a row, Lin Shi gave her a stare, "Is your daughter just for selling money?"

Wang smiled, "Hey, I'm just worried, I'm afraid that Qiu'er will have a bad life, mother, how is the family doing?"

Xu Qiaosheng and the Lin family had already colluded together before, so now I know what to say, "That family belongs to Zhoujiazhuang, they are considered rich. The family has [-] mu of land, a son and a girl, and the son is eighteen this year. People want to talk about a beautiful daughter-in-law, saying that it is good for country children to endure hardships and stand hard work, but I don’t know where I heard about our family’s Pingqiu, so they asked the matchmaker to talk about it.”

"It is said that you are willing to give 50 taels of dowry, what do you two think?"

Hearing this, Xu Linbai and Wang were overjoyed, and they looked at each other, 50 taels of silver is really a lot, what they thought was actually around 30 taels, an average girl would get married with ten taels of silver, and some Three or five taels of silver and some other things are enough, and 50 taels is enough for a rural family to marry several wives.

Xu Linbo said cheerfully, "Mother, are you really willing to give 50 taels of silver? Have you seen our Pingqiu? Do you like it? If you don't like it, what should you do if you regret it?"

Mrs. Lin directly took out a money bag, "Here is 50 taels of silver. They are afraid that our family will make a promise to someone else in Pingqiu, so today they brought all the dowry. Do you think this marriage can be trusted?"

"Of course I can believe it." Xu Linbo looked at the bulging money bag, but his eyes were almost straight. He didn't expect such a thing to exist. He just came to talk and gave all the money, which is too straightforward.

Lin smiled wryly, her son really didn't know what to say, but she herself was the same, didn't she trade her granddaughter for silver?
She didn't want to coax her son and daughter-in-law like this, but there was no other way, otherwise, the two of them would not agree, and they would have to pay most of the 200 taels of silver.

"Then do you agree to this marriage or not?"

"Agreed." The couple replied in unison, never thinking about asking Xu Pingqiu's opinion, after all, this is her marriage.

Xu Qiaosheng took out a piece of paper, "This is a marriage certificate sent by someone. You two have your fingerprints on it, and then you can go to the yamen to register, and the marriage is almost done."

This is the deed that he just went to Li Zheng to write, the content on it is to agree to give Xu Pingqiu to Xu Ruyue as a maid, and only take 50 taels of silver, and the rest will belong to the upper house.

　Do you find this scene ironic?
