peasant girl wedding

Chapter 144 Qingzhou
If it wasn't for the wooden fence, the old lady really wanted to tear Lin's face.

"How dare you speak hard!"

Lin turned around and ignored the old lady.Thinking that Yu Die Die and Tong Zhaojin would cheat the old lady out of her money, Lin felt a burst of joy.

The old lady cursed for a while, but when she saw that Mrs. Lin still didn't respond, she felt furious and went back to Tong's house angrily.

……

Let's talk about the old lady's tossing, the old man Tong who was lying on the bed opened his eyes, looked at Tong Zhixin's family and Tong Zhide's family, moved his lips, but couldn't say a word.

"Daddy, you'll be fine."

Tong Zhide comforted him.

Because old man Tong was ill, Tong Zhide, Luo Shi, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei often came to take care of him.

The old lady had no objection to this, but kept a cold face and said nothing to Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin.

After more than ten days like this, the injury on Tong's head was almost healed, and Mrs. Lin was also released from the prison.At the same time, Tong Zhiming was also released.

Mrs. Lin stole money from the old lady, and the old lady hated her so much that she hated her to death. Naturally, she didn't want to leave her in the old house of the Tong family, so she asked Tong Zhiming to write a divorce letter and drive Lin away. Out of Tong's house.

Tong Zhiming hated her when she was instigated by Lin to steal Liulichuang, and he didn't object at all, so he just threw the divorce letter to Lin.

Lin took the letter of divorce and looked at the old lady with a mocking smile.

"Bitch, you're not leaving yet."

the old lady scolded.

"I'll see how you cry then!"

After Lin's words, she glanced at Yudie and Tong Zhaojin meaningfully, and left Tong's old house with a wild laugh.

Old man Tong's injury was almost healed, so Tong Zhide's family and Tong Zhixin's family stopped coming to the old house to take care of them, and they were busy with their own affairs.

Tong Zhi'er's shop has been on the right track, and there are many people who come to the shop every day. After getting funds, she bought peanuts in the village one by one, and then sold them in the shop.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei will come to the shop to help.

Tong Zhide also found himself a job as a helper, earning a lot of money.

The days passed slowly, and it took almost a month like this.

A few days later, a major event happened in the old house.

Tong Zhaojin and Ms. Wang ran away with the bride price offered by the old lady.

That's all the old lady's savings, because after being silenced by Lin for 300 taels last time, she put her hope on marrying the Wang family, and used the remaining silver to buy Tong Zhaojin's betrothal gift and hired a matchmaker Presided over the wedding ceremony for the two, and then on a sunny morning, let Tong Zhaojin and Ms. Wang return to Wang's house in a splendid manner with the dowry.The old lady originally pointed out that Miss Wang could bring back more dowry.Who would have thought that after waiting until it was dark, no one would be seen.

The old lady was in a hurry, so she ran up to Wang's house in the neighboring county.

Unexpectedly, they went to the Wang family, and the Wang family said that there was no third lady in their house at all.

After losing so much money, the old lady of course refused to give up, and even started a quarrel at the gate of Wang's house.

For those who make trouble, Wang Jiading has never been soft-hearted. If he took the guy, he greeted the old lady and threw the old lady out.

Yin Zi was deceived by someone, and Tong Zhaojin and the so-called Miss Wang could not be found. Only then did the old lady realize that she had been deceived.

She came back crying and sobbing along the way, and sprayed Tong Zhaojin with scolding blood.

The Lin family who was kicked out of the Tong family has been paying attention to the movements of the Tong family's old house. Naturally, she wanted to laugh at the old lady's appearance.

So, the whole village knew about it.

"Tell me, what is it all about?"

Fang Cuiwei said dumbfounded, Tong Zhaojin can really do it if his grandson cheats grandma out of his money.

Luo Shi also shook his head and sighed, Lin Shi was bad, and Tong Zhaojin, who was born by Lin Shi, was also bad.

Neither Tong Zhide nor Tong Zhixin spoke.

The story of the Tong family's old house had been circulated in the village for several days, and then disappeared after the uproar, probably replaced by new gossip.

Tong Zhixin's family sighed with emotion for two days, and then they were busy with their own affairs.

The shop's business is booming, the boiled peanuts and tea are selling well, and the funds are also abundant, Tong Zhi'er plans to buy a carriage for the family.

The county is too far away, taking a horse-drawn carriage to the county early in the morning and evening is equivalent to a considerable expense.

It is more convenient to own a carriage, not only for daily transportation, but also for traveling far away.

Tong Zhi'er shared his thoughts, and Tong Zhixin, Fang Cuiwei and others agreed.

At noon that day, a few people came out of the store and went to the place where the carriage was sold.

Tong Zhixin chose a carriage made of sycamore trees. The price was moderate, and the quality and workmanship were acceptable. He negotiated the price with the owner, and it was 200 taels of silver.

Next to the carriage is the horse market. Everyone has no experience in picking horses. Fortunately, they met Zhang Guanshi.After Zhang Guanshi knew that they wanted to buy a horse, he picked out a black steed for 300 taels of silver.

Tong Zhixin expressed his gratitude for this, and took the black horse to the owner of the carriage, watched him arrange the carriage and horses, secretly remembered, let the family get on the carriage, raised the whip, and carefully set up the carriage Come.

Zhang Guanshi deserved to be a good horse, the dark horse was very docile, he would go wherever he pointed, and the speed was not slow.

With the carriage, it is very convenient for Tong Zhixin's family to go back and forth.

Because Tong Zhaoyin was also in the county, Tong Zhi'er opened the shop later, and when Tong Zhaoyin got off work, he asked him to get on the carriage and go home together.

"Brother Tong is back."

When the carriage entered the village, people greeted Tong Zhixin from time to time.

Because their family bought peanuts from the village, everyone felt grateful to Tong Zhixin.This year's peanuts were sold early, and the money they earned was dozens of taels more than when the peddler came to collect it last year. They were naturally grateful to Tong Zhixin's family in their hearts.

"Father, you are back."

Hearing the sound, Tong Duo'er came out from the room, looked at Tong Zhi'er and others with a smile.

Inside the room, Fang Cuiwei had already prepared the meals.

After the family had eaten, Tong Zhi'er told everyone that she wanted to go to Qingzhou to buy goods and sell them back.

"The Chinese New Year will be in three or four months. Let's buy some dry goods and store them for a longer period of time, and it's cheaper to buy them now." The most important thing is that Qingzhou is rich and prosperous, and she has long wanted to visit it.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei nodded, Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu were a little excited.

However, Tong Duo'er was indeed a little disappointed.There's no way, she's engaged, and it's not suitable for her to show her face in public.

Tong Zhi'er saw her expression and asked, "Sister, what do you want, we will bring it back for you when the time comes."

Tong Duo'er shook her head, "It's important to handle the goods, I don't have anything to bring."

Fang Cuiwei stayed in the shop, Tong Zhide helped to look after her, Luo Shi and Tong Duo'er were at home together, Tong Zhixin, Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu set off for Qingzhou in a carriage.

After about a day and a night, they arrived in Qingzhou at noon the next day.

There is a tall city wall covered with green moss, and the big "Qingzhou" word hangs on the tower, shining brightly under the sunlight.

There were many people in the city, Tong Zhixin and others got out of the carriage, paid the money, and parked the carriage in a place where someone was watching.

"Wow, Second Sister, Qingzhou is so big."

Tong Zhuer sighed.

Tong Zhaofu's eyes are also bright, "Mr. said that if you read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and never come out, you will never know the size of the world you live in. I used to think that the county was a great place, but now I am in Qingzhou I just realized how small my horizons are."

Tong Zhi'er was very happy when she heard what he said. She was most afraid that Tong Zhaofu would be taught to be a nerd by the rote gentlemen, and said, "Ah Fu, when you reach a certain age, you will come out to practice and practice. .”

"En." Tong Zhaofu nodded.

"Let's go in quickly." Tong Zhi said.

The three siblings held hands and followed Tong Zhixin closely and went in.

The sound of shouting, hawking, and bargaining came one after another.

Amidst all kinds of voices, Tong Zhi'er set his sights on a steamed bun stand.

"Let's go, beggar, don't get in the way of my business."

Not a very impatient voice, however, it was nothing special, what caught Tong Zhi'er's attention was a slender figure standing in front of the steamed bun stand.

Messy hair and clothes that could smell strange from three meters away, but the man's back was straight.

"I'm not a beggar."

An arrogant and cold voice.

"Aren't you a beggar dressed like this? Can you come up with some money? A steamed bun costs two cents... If you don't have any money, then get the hell out of here." The steamed bun stall owner sneered.

Ji Guzi glanced at the impatient steamed bun owner.

"What are you staring at, I just won't give it to you beggars, how about it!"

"Boss, give me two steamed buns."

A soft female voice came, the owner of the steamed bun stand looked up, looked at Tong Zhi'er with a smile, and immediately wrapped two steamed buns for her.

"Girl, here——"

Tong Zhi'er took it, and took out four Wen coins from her purse.

"Give……"

Tong Zhier handed the hot steamed buns to Ji Guzi.

Ji Guzi frowned, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute," Tong Zhi'er quickly stepped forward and stopped him, "Well, are you interested in being the accountant of my shop?"

Ji Guzi looked at her deeply, then looked down at the steamed bun in her hand for a while.

"This is wages paid in advance."

Ji Guzi raised his head to look at her again, his eyes said, "You call the shop for four Wen a month?"

Tong Zhi'er's face was a little red, "One tael of silver a month, come?"

Ji Guzi didn't speak, but he slowly took the steamed bun from Tong Zhi'er's hand.

This is, accepted?

"Well, we have something to do now, you are..." Tong Zhi'er looked at it, pointed to a restaurant and said, "You wait there, we will come back after we finish our business."

Ji Guzi nodded, carried the steamed buns to the restaurant, and squatted in a corner.
