Flowers are expensive

Chapter 85
"Ah!" The three of them exclaimed in unison.

"Shh! Aunts, keep your voice down! This matter is going to spread, maybe people outside will say that our family is greedy for wealth and wants to sell jade peaches to the city!" Mrs. Gong ran to the door and opened it to look out while booing. After a few glances, fortunately no one was there, so she closed the door in relief.

Mo Xiang first covered her belly and laughed, then pulled Li Hua's arm and said, "Fourth Aunt, someone is going to be in a hurry now!"

"Isn't it?" Lihua also smiled, "I told him later, I must be so anxious!"

"Who is it?" Hong Ling asked blankly.

"I know," Mrs. Gong patted the table lightly and smiled, "Speaking of which, who else is there in the Xie family? Isn't it Man Xiang? Baby face, which elder would not feel distressed when seeing him? Not to mention Manxiang, even Dongping, who is engaged, loves to go to Yutao! However, there is one thing that you probably don’t know. My mother and Mrs. Xie In private, the two of them got along with each other, but it's a pity - they didn't get along!"

"Really?" The three were surprised again.

"I heard from my mother-in-law that when Manxiang and Yutao were young, the relationship between the two families was good. I wanted to settle it early, but who knew that Yutao's fate was too hard to overcome. Man Xiang, so I didn't mention this matter again. Otherwise, our family and Xie's family have such a good relationship, why didn't we think of matching them?"

"Little uncle is so pitiful!" Mo Xiang sighed while laughing.Both Hongling and Lihua covered their mouths and laughed.Lihua asked Mrs. Gong: "Who the hell helped them get together? It's that temple wish in Haizi Temple again?"

"After counting and counting, there is only one temple in Haizi Temple nearby. Who else can there be besides Miao Zhu? Everyone in this village looks to him for fortune-telling and fortune-telling."

"It's really harmful! One word of disagreement will make Yutao and Manxiang unable to get married. This kind of person should be dealt with!"

Mo Xiang became excited when she heard it, and asked excitedly with her small face, "Fourth Aunt, how do you clean up? Do you have any ideas?"

"I haven't thought of a good solution yet, but..." Lihua turned her head and asked Gong, "What did Yutao's parents say?"

"Kaixing just came here just to ask Cairo and I to go back. The whole family has made up their minds, what should we do about this matter?"

"Okay, you got the letter, don't forget to tell us!" "Got it!"

After dinner that day, Deng Kailuo took Gong Shi back to Deng's house.As soon as she entered the door of the hall, Mrs. Gong saw several packages of things on the table, all of which she had never seen before.She asked Aunt Zhang: "Mother, are they all sent by the people from the city?"

Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "He brought them all today. I said I didn't want them, but he left them and left. I don't dare to chase him all over the village with such a few bags and invite people to gossip!"

Deng Kailuo sat down on the stool, and asked with a slight frown: "Mother, what does the city person surnamed Zeng mean? Really want Yutao to be a child for his young master?"

"That's what he said. He said that when Yutao was in the county, he met and talked with his young master, and he fell in love with him. He wanted to marry Yutao as a child. Today, I came here to give a gift and meet up. , If you come back tomorrow, then you will hear back."

Deng Kailuo turned his head and looked at Yutao who was doing needlework: "I said sister, what are you talking to his young master?" Yutao knocked on her mouth, enough to hang twelve oil cans, and then Putting the sewing work in his hand on the table, he said angrily, "I'm wronged! The ghost knows it's his young master! My cousin never told me that it was his young master. If I had known earlier, wouldn't I have stayed away?"

"Speak clearly, how did you meet that young master?"

"My eldest cousin took me to Goulan to listen to books and met. He said that I was busy taking care of my cousin when I went to the city, and I hadn't gone shopping yet, so he took me to Goulan to listen to books twice that day, and then met I'm looking at that young master. I didn't know it was his young master at the time, he looked pale and looked like he had no energy, and he was dressed similarly to those in the city!"

"and after?"

"Later, he came to my cousin's house a few times and talked to me a few times."

"Nothing else?"

"Brother!" Yutao stood up with a whoosh, staring at her round eyes and shouted, "What else do you think? What do you think of your sister?"

"Keep your voice down, my ancestor!" Aunt Zhang pressed down on Yutao hurriedly and said, "Are you afraid that the walls of other people's houses are not thick enough? Why are you shouting so loudly? Your brother is also afraid that you will be bullied by others!"

"What can he bully me? It's like a gust of wind can blow me down! I heard from my cousin that he has been sick since he was a child, and he has been drinking soup and medicine since he was able to eat. If he dares to bully me, I will die I broke his hand with the trick my brother taught me!"

"Hahaha..." The whole family laughed.

Deng Kailuo nodded and said: "It sounds like you don't like the young master of the Zeng family, right? That's fine. If you come back tomorrow, just go back. You don't have to talk to him, and he doesn't want to talk to us either. The Zeng family is a big family, are you worried about not finding a baby for your son? Dad, what do you think?"

The Deng family's family style is quite special, the whole family is loyal, and they disdain such things the most, so Deng Zan (Yutao's father) waved his hand without thinking: "I am the first one who refuses, unless Yutao Tao herself is willing. It’s not that our family can’t afford to eat, so we have to sell jade peaches to live?”

Aunt Zhang also said: "It's going to take a lot of effort to get out of the mountains. If you want to marry so far, I'm afraid it's no different from being thrown into the palace. I will never see you again for the rest of your life, and I won't agree."

"Where's Yutao?" Deng Kailuo asked.

Yutao rolled her curly black eyelashes, puffed her cheeks and said a word: "Whoever asks me to marry, I will die!"

"That's all right," Deng Kailuo knocked on the table and said, "There is nothing to think about. When people come tomorrow, you will ask me to go to the field, and I will tell you. Yutao, go back to the house with your sister-in-law. Tell your parents something."

Mrs. Gong took Yutao back to the house.Deng Zan asked: "Don't you say that you have nothing to think about?" Deng Kailuo crossed his legs, looked at Aunt Zhang, and said with a serious face: "Mother, maybe this matter can invite the second aunt's family back. , do you believe it or not?"

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Boss, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Their family sold themselves, and this time we have to ask our family to sell Yutao? I felt something was wrong when I asked Yutao to enter the city at first, but you said that my sisters haven't moved around for a long time It’s time to catch up with my little cousin giving birth again, and ask Yutao to go to the city to take a look at our house and congratulate her. Now it’s all right, congratulations have such a thing happen!”

Aunt Zhang was startled, and asked, "Do you think your second aunt deliberately messed with this?"

"I don't know if Second Aunt has it, but I know better than you what the big cousin is thinking! I played with him when I was young, and he is a fool! This time it may be He wanted to curry favor with his little master of the Zeng family, and decided to sell Yutao! Didn't you hear what Yutao said? She was so sick that even a gust of wind could blow her down. If a young master from the city was in good health, he would return to us. What kind of girl do you marry in this country?"

Deng Zan's face immediately turned green, and he glared at Aunt Zhang and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to let Yutao go to your second sister's house, do you hear?" Aunt Zhang suddenly realized, patted her legs and said, "How do I know?" There are so many! I didn’t expect that kid to think so much! But if you want to find someone for his young master, you won’t come all the way to our place to look for him!”

"Huh," Deng Kailuo sneered, "Mother, haven't you heard about the funeral? Maybe the young master is dying of illness and wants to marry a wife and bury him in the grave together! Yes, my daughter died for no apparent reason, can I not make trouble? Then I have to find a place far away?"

Aunt Zhang covered her heart, not flustered, and said two times in succession: "Amitabha! Amitabha! I'm afraid when I think about it! I shouldn't have let Yutao go to the city in the first place!"

"Okay," Deng Kailuo said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow when the person comes. No matter how much money he gives, I will not sell my sister. Mother, go and see Yutao and tell her not to take it seriously. "

"Understood." Aunt Zhang got up and went to the Yutao House, only Deng Kailuo and Deng Zan were left in the hall.Deng Zan realized that his son was deliberately pushing everyone away, so he asked, "Is there anything you want to say to me alone?"

Deng Kailuo sat closer to his father, lowered his voice and said: "Father, I may encounter some troubles when I go out to the mountains this time. If you hear anything, don't panic, you know? We have our own discretion." !"

Deng Zan's eyebrows tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "What will happen? Could it be that you have already expected that something will happen? Boss, you can't hide it from me!"

"Don't panic, nothing big will happen. Otherwise, I can still say hello to you in advance? I have kept it from you, haven't I? You have seen the world, and some things cannot be avoided. Sooner or later, it will be over. .”

"You mean that group of robbers?" Dun Zan felt horrified when he thought of this.A year ago, he went out of the mountain with him when his legs and feet were sharp. Who would have thought that he would encounter robbers later?One of Deng Zan's legs was beaten. Although walking was not a problem, he suffered from severe pain when encountering wind and rain.From there, he didn't dare to go out of the mountain again, and other people who were injured or frightened also didn't dare to go out again.

"Yes!" Deng Kailuo glanced at his father's injured leg, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Boss, do you know where those robbers are?" Dun Zan asked in surprise.

"I don't know, but they should come this time."

"how do you know?"

"Man Ting said."

"How did Man Ting know?"

"Father, you know Manting. If he doesn't tell me, I won't ask, but Haitang and I believe him. A year ago, that group of robbers almost killed more than 20 of us, and injured him." You have one leg, this revenge must be avenged!"

"Boss, don't be impulsive, those guys are not easy to mess with."

"Father, don't worry, if they come prepared, we will go prepared and meet each other again, but it will not be as easy to escape as a year ago!"

"I understand that you can't stop you. But you really have to be careful. How many people will you bring to the village this time?"

"Ma Liu is naturally going, and then there is Manting Haitang, and Dongping and I, Uncle Cui..."

"Wait, what are you taking Lao Cui to do? He is not younger than me, is it appropriate to follow you out of the mountain this time?"

"It's Manting's meaning. He only said four words, and I couldn't understand what it meant, so I didn't ask any more."

"Which four words?"

"The old horse knows the way. Father, do you understand what this means?"

"I don't understand either, but since you have plans, that's fine. You remember, whether you can get revenge is the second priority, and saving your life is the most important thing."

"Got it, Dad."

Deng Kailuo then left Deng's house with Gong Shi.When passing by Xie's house, Gong suddenly felt that someone was hitting her with small stones.She looked up, and it turned out that the window on the attic of Lihua was not closed, and she was lying there smiling at her.She beckoned to Lihua, and Lihua quickly sneaked out from the gate.
