Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 778 Upright

  Xiang Zhifu's heart was extremely complicated in an instant, and he was very entangled: "Old woman, it's a good thing that Ling'er can read, but there are differences between men and women..."

   "Since you know the difference between men and women, why don't you call Ling'er into the kitchen, isn't there Ayu?" Chu Xingjun gave him a glare.

  Xiang Zhifu was a little puzzled, the old woman has always been a good-natured woman, why did she become so fierce all of a sudden?

  Although he couldn't figure it out, Xiang Zhifu still valued his daughter's reputation more, so he didn't ask any further questions, got up and called Xiang Linger into the kitchen.

  Xiang Ling'er didn't have any special reaction, and went in obediently.

  On the other hand, Du Heng, feeling the attitude of Xiang's parents, frowned slightly, and was a little worried that he had a bad start.

  Afterwards, the Xiang family was busy preparing dinner.

  Before dinner, Wang Shichu came with two carriages of gifts.

  Although Xiang Zhifu was already mentally prepared, he was still taken aback when he saw this posture.

  He took the brothers from the Xiang family and stood outside the courtyard gate. Since Chu Heng was there, he didn't want to lose face to Chu Heng. Therefore, he didn't go up to meet him, but stood at the door, waiting for Wang Shichu to get off the carriage and come over.

  Wang Shichu walked over quickly, smiling all over his face, and apologized: "Brother, I'm sorry, what happened this time was a misunderstanding, and I'm here to disturb you so late, don't be disgusted, brother."

   "The old man is really uneasy. These gifts are for the old brothers and nephews. Don't hold them back."

   "Master Wang, you are welcome. As long as you don't bother my family anymore, this matter will be over." Xiang Zhifu said directly.

  Wang Shichu choked for a moment, apparently he hadn't met someone who didn't hide his true thoughts for a long time.

  However, he quickly reacted.

   "Old brother is telling the truth, so the old man will tell the truth. This matter is really the old man's mistake. It will never happen again in the future. You can rest assured."

  Xiang Zhifu nodded after listening: "Okay, let's do it like this."

   As he spoke, he waved his hand and told Wang Shichu to go back.

  Wang Shichu was taken aback for a moment, and quickly stepped forward to grab his hand, smiled a little reluctantly, and said tentatively: "Brother, this is not acceptable. If you don't accept it, I feel in my heart that you are still blaming me."

   "But you have too many of these." Xiang Zhifu frowned and looked at the one or two carts of things, with everything for food and clothing.

  Wang Shichu heard it, and hurriedly said: "Then how many pieces of cloth will be reduced?"

   "Too many, just a few bolts of cloth as you said." Xiang Zhifu said directly, too lazy to argue with him.

   "This... this is too little..." Wang Shichu didn't know what to say. He had prepared a lot of gifts and valuable items, but the other party only wanted three bolts of cloth.

   Xiang Zhifu said: "We poor people, how can we have such a luxury, you give me too much, I feel uneasy, then do you still apologize sincerely?"

   "If you are sincere, I will send some cloth to the people who have been drugged."

  Turning his thoughts to Zhifu, he felt that he should not only take advantage of his own family, those clansmen and villagers who had helped his family had to benefit a bit, otherwise, no one would be willing to help him at that time.

   "Just a few bolts of cloth?" Wang Shichu couldn't believe it.

  Xiang Zhifu nodded firmly: "That's right, Mr. Wang, don't give too much, or I won't obey you when the time comes."

   "I'm satisfied with that."

   "Really?" Wang Shichu didn't believe it, so he asked again.

  Nodding to Zhifu: "It can't be more true. I don't talk like you squires, always say half and leave the other half."
