Super cute daughter-in-law

Chapter 190

After Cao finished speaking, she pushed Yang Liu, who had been staring blankly at her, away from the bed, bent down and put her head under the bed.

She didn't know what Mrs. Cao was doing under the bed, she fiddled with "bang bang" under the bed, and took out the black box that Yang Liu had seen her money from under the bed last time.

She handed the box to Yang Liu, and said: "You open the box, the money is still in the same place, the top layer is broken silver, and the silver ingots are on the bottom."

Yang Liu was extremely speechless when he saw a big hole protruding from under the bed after Mrs. Cao got out.

At this moment, she was not in the mood to figure out which layer the silver ingot was placed in the black box. She was more interested in how Mrs. Cao could dig a hole under the bed.

She held the black box in her arms, squatted down, looked at the hole that was not too deep, just enough to fit a black box, and asked Mrs. Cao, "Mother, why did you dig a hole under the bed?"

Cao looked at Yangliu like an idiot, and said, "I didn't see it, I used it to put money."

Yang Liu was blocked by Cao Shi and coughed, and said again: "I know it's used to put money, I mean why put money under the bed, can't it be put in so many places in the house?"

When it was over, Yang Liu pointed to the back of the door and said, "By the way, didn't you put this black box by the door before?"

Cao Shi curled her lips and said with disdain: "The cunning rabbit still has three caves. How can I keep the money in one place? Didn't you find it all last time? How can I put it away?"

"Are you afraid that we will steal the family's money?" Yang Liu frowned slightly, dissatisfied that Mrs. Cao has such deep defenses against her family.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cao reached out and tapped Yang Liu's forehead, and said, "What are you thinking. I'm afraid that you are not strict with your tongue. If someone comes to play at home, Xiaocao and those little guys will be missed if they leak their words. "

Yang Liu understood what he meant, and rolled her eyes helplessly at Mrs. Cao: "Then you don't need to dig a hole under the bed, just put it in a box as you like. Look at how hard it is for you to get under the bed."

Mrs. Cao bent down to look at the bottom of the bed, but she didn't feel any trouble. She smiled and glanced at Yang Liu, and said, "What do you know, if a thief comes in to steal something, the first thing you do is to dig through the boxes at home." , how can the money be put in the box?"

Mrs. Cao's words are reasonable. It stands to reason that if a thief breaks into a house and steals, the first things to look for are the cabinets and boxes at home.

But looking at the hole under the bed, she was really curious: "Mom, how did you dig that hole? When did you dig it? Why don't we know?"

Mrs. Cao smiled triumphantly at Yang Liu: "I asked your father to dig it while you were sleeping. From now on, this will be a special place for hiding money at home. Don't talk nonsense to Xiaocao and your sister-in-law."

"..." Yang Liu was really speechless. She felt that with Cao's money hiding skills, it would be great to be an intelligence agent in the era of resistance.

Seeing that Yang Liu had stopped talking, Mrs. Cao remembered that the purpose of bringing Yang Liu in was to get money. The money was not given out, but the two of them kept going around the hole under the bed.

She patted her forehead annoyedly, took the black box in Yang Liu's hand, found a screwdriver-like thing from the house, and after prying the black box open, she took out a few silver ingots from the bottom of the black box to Yang Liu , said: "By the way, I think this time you go back to Bai's house, take the 20 taels of silver and return it to Bai's house by the way, and say that we will pay back the remaining ten taels of silver during the Chinese New Year."

Yang Liu took the 20 taels of silver and walked around Cao's house, looking for a piece of cloth to wrap the silver ingot.

Speaking of which, although these silver ingots are not big, they are not small either. It seems that there is no place to stuff them, so they can't just be carried in the basket.

Yang Liu thought for a while, and came up with a good idea. After she put the money flat, she stuffed the money into her bosom, and then rearranged the clothes inside and the padded jacket outside.

After making sure that he put it level, Yang Liu stood up straight and asked Mrs. Cao, "This way, people won't be able to see that I have money stuffed in my arms."

Mrs. Cao took Yang Liu to look carefully for a while, and said: "I can't see it, but I don't feel at ease because you carry so much money by yourself. If you don't wait until after lunch, your elder brother and your father come back and let them Who will take you there."

Yang Liu looked out of the window and saw that it was almost noon, afraid that it would be too late, she waved her hand at Mrs Cao and said, "No need to give it away, who knows that I have 20 taels on me, besides, I don't want to spend the night at Bai's house, I plan to go back early."

Mrs. Cao didn't object to her going back and forth that day, but said with a slightly worried expression: "But I don't worry about you like this."

In fact, Yang Liu herself had never returned to Bai's house by herself. She was accompanied by Bai Xiangchen a few times before, and this time she brought 20 taels of silver with her, and she felt a little uneasy.

After thinking about it, she said: "Then I will call my sister-in-law to accompany me."

Mrs. Cao felt that two people are better than one, so she nodded and said, "Well, it's better to have two, so let your sister-in-law go with you. After you go, ask Chen'er about it first. If anything, return the money to your mother-in-law, and tell your mother-in-law that we will pay back the ten taels of silver before the Chinese New Year."

Yang Liu nodded at first, planning to go out and call Sini.

But after thinking about it for a while, she felt that something was wrong, so she turned back and asked Mrs. Cao, "Just talk like that? Didn't you sign a contract when you sold me to their house?"

Cao first looked at Yang Liu with a puzzled expression, not understanding what Yang Liu said about the contract, then she seemed to suddenly remember something, rummaged in the cabinet for a while, and handed a crumpled piece of paper to Yang Liu , Said: "Is this what you said?"

Yang Liu opened the paper and saw that it was indeed the contract signed when she sold her, so she nodded towards Mrs. Cao.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cao asked with a puzzled look: "What's the use of this thing? When we signed the contract, the guarantor gave me one share, and the other one was given to the Bai family."

Yang Liu didn't have time to pay attention to Mrs. Cao, but just responded to Mrs. Cao indiscriminately, and looked down at the contract carefully. Not to mention, the content of this contract is really harsh enough.

The content of the contract roughly means that she, Yang Liu, voluntarily sold herself as a child bride-in-law to the Bai family at a price of 30 taels of silver. conditions of.

For the Bai family, the only two conditions were not to resell her to others, and not to beat her unconditionally, nothing else was mentioned.

And the item that you are not allowed to be beaten is added at the bottom with a line of small characters. It is conceivable that there is no such item in her own contract. .

This contract is said to be a contract for a child bride, but it is actually similar to a contract of selling one's body, and the above conditions are all in favor of the seller.

Only then did Yang Liu finally believe that the Bai family had treated her as a child bride-in-law really well all these years. If it was a harsh family, even if she was killed, as long as someone charged her with a crime at will, this matter would be completely out of the question. Let it go.

Because the contract is very clear that there must be no unconditional beatings. In other words, if you make a mistake, you can still be beaten, and it is still legal.

I think this is why the Bai family didn't pursue her return to her natal family this time, because with this piece of paper, she really couldn't go anywhere.

But if this is the case, Yang Liu felt that it would be inappropriate to pay back the 20 taels of silver first. If the money is paid back, how to deal with the contract? After the money, will the contract be destroyed directly?

But if the Bai family doesn't give it, if they don't recognize the 20 taels of silver that was paid back first, what will the Yang family do? Isn't it a waste of 20 taels?

Don't talk about her villainous heart, it's better to give money and hand over the contract for this kind of contract matter, otherwise it will be unclear in the end, but it will be a troublesome matter.

Yang Liu thought for a while, then handed over the money in her hand to Mrs. Cao again, and said, "Mother, forget it, we'll return the money to the Bai family when we get it all together, and then we have to give it back together." Bring back the contract from the Bai family, otherwise it's not safe."

Mrs. Cao couldn't read, so she didn't know what was written in the contract. It was just that someone who could read in the village got this for her, and didn't say what it was for. She thought it was just a receipt for selling willows at that time. , and put it away at will.

Now that she heard Yang Liu say that this thing still has this purpose, she was so frightened that her expression changed, she immediately reached out to take the contract in Yang Liu's hand, put it on the table and smoothed it with her hands, and said, "Well, let's take the money this time I won’t pay it back, let’s save 30 taels later and return it to the Bai family.”

"En." Yang Liu nodded, agreeing to return the money to the Bai family together at a later date.

When Yang Liu was doing business in her previous life, most of the time she believed in black and white letters more than people, not to mention that the contract itself was a black and white thing, so she naturally had to take it seriously.

Because he didn't bring any money to the Bai's house, Yang Liu didn't ask Sini to go with him, instead he hurried to the Bai's house with his things on his back.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or on purpose, but when Yang Liu walked out of the village and was waiting for the ox cart on the road, she saw Wang Sheng not far from her, as if she was waiting for the ox cart.

Yang Liu didn't even know when he came, and she didn't see him when she was on the road just now.

To be honest, since Yang Liu and Qingfeng made things clear last time, although Yang Liu has been living in her natal family, she has never seen Wang Sheng, and Yang Liu almost forgot that there is such a person.

I remembered the last time I swore to Wang Sheng that I would marry Bai Xiangchen at ease, and asked Wang Sheng not to look for her again, so as not to be gossiped.But these days she has been staying at her mother's house, and she doesn't look like An Xin marrying Bai Xiangchen at all. When Yang Liu saw Wang Sheng, she was inexplicably embarrassed.
