Chapter 2 The Punishment of the Iron Skirt
Outside the yard, Li Zheng could no longer stop the runaway headhunter Yang. He picked up his spear again and went to settle accounts with the Cheng family in Dongtou.

"Wait!" In the astonishment of everyone, Cheng Xia opened the heavy wooden door and walked out, glanced at the people of all shapes and sizes, stood beside Li Zheng, and imitated Yang Lihua's manner to be sweet to Li Zheng He smiled, "Grandpa Lizheng is good," then looked at Lietou Yang, whose eyes were open and the size of a copper bell, and said, "Do you want money, and I'll give it back to you."

"You?" There was a chuckle, still the same delicate voice, "How do you pay it back, by selling it?"

What a dirty mouth!
Cheng Xia stepped forward and walked to Yang Lihua's side, walked around her and looked at her seriously, "Even if you sell it, you can't sell it for ten taels of silver!"

"You!" Yang Lihua was impatient, this woman dared to humiliate her like this.

"You just wait for me." Yang Lihua pulled Yang Lihua behind him, and put the girl's family's sale or not, ashamed, didn't she see that some village women were still talking about her? ?

Headhunter Yang looked at Cheng Xia seriously, "Will you pay ten taels of silver?"

"Yes, I'm out."

Cheng Xia just thought about it carefully. She has just traveled here, and she also needs an identity to live well. After all, the ancient household registration system was very strict. If she did not have a household registration, she would be restricted wherever she went.

Judging from the current situation, the Yang family is better treated than the Cheng family after all, isn't it just ten taels of silver? Cheng Xia doesn't believe that she can't make money with her modern wisdom.

"Girl Xia, where did you get the money?" Li Zheng said with concern as he tugged at Cheng Xia's wrist tremblingly.

Although I don't know why Lizheng treats her so well, but Cheng Xia is very helpful.She smiled gently, "Grandpa Lizheng, I don't have one now, but I hope you can give me a month, and I will definitely earn ten taels of silver for the Yang family."

"Heh," Headhunter Yang snorted coldly, "You said it lightly, let alone whether you can make money, if you run away halfway, I will find someone to go to."

"My natal family is at the east end of the village, you just go there." Cheng Xia said generously.

"Bah, your mother can marry you twice, and still care about you?"

Chen Shi, who was trembling beside Headhunter Yang, carefully pulled his clothes, "Master, don't embarrass the child."

"Get lost!" Headhunter Yang pushed Chen Shi staggeringly, "Smelly mother-in-law, if it weren't for you, I didn't know I had ten taels of silver at home, and I was already thrown out by you just as soon as I found out. Kill you."

This kind of domestic violence happened right in front of me. Cheng Xia frowned, and looked at Headhunter Yang unceremoniously, "Or, you can send me back to Cheng's house now, but I promise you won't get a penny. First, I and Your Dalang didn't exchange Geng stickers, didn't have official seals, and didn't pay homage, so I am not your daughter-in-law; secondly, there is no witness for the negotiation of the ten taels of silver, that is to say, there is no proof, and you just sue The government, the government can't make the Cheng family return the money to you."

Cheng Xia integrated the effective information obtained in the dream, and found out what was most beneficial to her.

Seeing Headhunter Yang's complexion getting worse and worse, Cheng Xia continued, "Or, as I said just now, I will compensate you for the ten taels of silver, and you give me a month, and the money will be handed over to you at that time." , I have nothing to do with your family."

Cheng Xia's well-founded remarks stunned the onlookers.When did that timid second girl of the Cheng family become so eloquent?

There is a good thing that jumps up and clicks twice, "Looking at the behavior of Xu Erfu, the daughter of the Cheng family, she is shameless. Mrs. Zhang should be tortured by riding a wooden donkey and wearing an iron skirt."

Mrs. Zhang was talking about her own mother.

Cheng Xia ignored the sudden burst of laughter from the crowd, but frowned thinking about the iron skirt punishment that person just said.

The people here actually know the punishment of the iron skirt. This term comes from the "Ming Taizu Shilu" compiled at the beginning of the first year of Jianwen. In this way, the current dynasty can almost be determined to be the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty.

Look at the sash and bijia style worn by the woman. If Cheng Xia's guess is correct, it should be from the Ming Dynasty.After all, the Qing Dynasty was more conservative, but their clothes still favored the Song Dynasty.

Suddenly, the idle voice broke Cheng Xia's reverie. She raised her eyes and saw a man with weeds in his mouth wandering through the crowd and walked up to her. His lewd eyes sized her up and down, making her sick for a while. .

"This is my sister-in-law." The man smiled evilly, "What my sister-in-law said just now is reasonable, but you should pay back the ten taels of silver, and now you have to postpone it for one month. This money makes money, one month It can produce twelve taels again."

"Erlang!" Li Zheng reprimanded, "She's a girl, are you going to force her to death?"

Cheng Xia smiled gratefully at Lizheng, then turned to look at Erlang, "What do you want?"

"Let's do this," Yang Erlang said with a look of compassion, "I want 50 taels for three months."
