Chapter 40 You Need a Request from Us
Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows.
Once the person falls into the water, they have skin contact!
This time, Ye Caiping and Ye Jiner were not in the mood to wash clothes, so they hurriedly followed Ye Yong back home.
Zhuzi's wife and two boys followed closely behind.
After returning home, Ye Yong went back to his room to change clothes.
Ye Caiping and others entered the main room, closed the door, and told Old Lady Ye, Old Man Ye, and Mrs. Du what had happened by the river.
"What did you say?" Mrs. Du's eyes widened. "This, this..."
Zhuzi's wife laughed and said, "Hey, your Yong'er and Xiuxiu's marriage is settled, isn't it?"
Old Mrs. Ye was somewhat happy when she heard this. Although this was a bit unkind, it was indeed a way to solve Ye Yong's marriage problem.
And this girl is Hu Xiuxiu, who already has a mutual affection with Ye Yong.
Isn't this just double happiness?
Mrs. Du raised her eyebrows, feeling a little complicated.
Although their family cannot afford the 20 taels of silver as a dowry, they will try their best to raise money.
If the marriage is arranged this year, after a year or two, when the crops at home have grown and my mother-in-law has a salary now, we can at least raise 700 or 800 taels, which is already higher than that of an average girl.
"Is Yong'er's mother home?" Tie Niu's wife's voice rang out from outside the house, "Xiu Xiu's mother is here."
Mrs. Du was delighted and quickly opened the door: "At home, at home, please come in."
Tie Niu's wife and Xiu Xiu's mother walked into the main room together.
Old Lady Ye smiled and said, "Xiu Xiu Niang, please sit down! Cai Ping, go and bring some tea."
"No need." Xiuxiu's mother smiled a little stiffly, "I'm here today to thank Ye Yong for saving our Xiuxiu."
Mrs. Du smiled and said, "Hey, Yong'er is still changing his clothes. I'll go call him now."
"No need, sister-in-law, thanking you is the same. In addition to thanking you, I also hope that everyone promises me that no one will tell anyone about what happened at the river today."
Everyone was startled. Madam Du frowned slightly and said, "Of course. This matter...it's enough for everyone to know about it. Otherwise, it will not be glorious to get married."
"Get married?" Xiuxiuniang raised her voice, smiling: "Why, do you have 20 taels at home?"
Mrs. Du and Old Lady Ye were all stunned. Mrs. Du's face turned pale:
"Xiu Xiu Niang, what do you mean? 20 taels... Of course we don't have that."
"Of course, we will never take advantage of something that we shouldn't. We don't have 20 taels of silver as a betrothal gift, but we have everything that other girls should have, and we will never let Xiuxiu down."
Xiuxiu's mother said firmly: "No, my Xiuxiu is a golden hen that is guaranteed to give birth to a son. Without 20 taels, my Xiuxiu will never marry!"
"My Yong'er saved Xiuxiu and had physical contact with her, which was seen by so many people. How can your Xiuxiu get married? We are responsible for her."
"Responsible? I think you really want to take advantage of me! You poor fellow who doesn't even have 20 taels of silver, you still want to marry my Xiu Xiu?"
Mrs. Du, Old Lady Ye and others were all stunned by Xiuxiu's mother.
Tie Niu's wife and Zhuzi's wife were stunned, and the two boys, Ye Xing and Ye Wang, turned pale.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly silent? Are you trying to force a marriage by ruining my reputation? Aren't you just being a scoundrel and bullying us, an orphan and a widow?"
As Xiuxiu's mother kept scolding, she started to cry, her voice sharp and hoarse.
"Aunt, please stop making noise. We won't marry Xiuxiu without 20 taels, okay?" At this time, Ye Yong pushed the door open.
Xiuxiu's mother glared at him and said, "Okay, that's what you said. No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened by the river today."
"Don't worry, I won't tell you even if I die." Ye Yong said coldly.
"And you." Xiuxiuniang looked around at everyone present.
Mrs. Du was also furious: "I don't want a relative like you, and I will never tell anyone."
"Words are not enough. Swear to me, all of you, swear to me, whoever tells others that Hu Xiuxiu fell into the water and was rescued by Ye Yong will be struck by lightning and die with sores all over his body."
When these words were spoken, Old Lady Ye, Mrs. Du and others all gasped.
Tieniu's wife and Zhuzi's wife are really screwed. They were just washing clothes, but they encountered such a bad thing!
The brothers Ye Xing and Ye Wang were just eight or nine years old, and they were so scared that they were about to cry.
Xiuxiuniang said anxiously: "Why don't you swear? Quick!"
Old Man Ye was so angry that he was shaking all over. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Caiping stepped forward and sneered:
"I won't send it, what can you do to me?"
"you--"
"Not only will I not swear, I will also go out and tell everyone I meet that Hu Xiuxiu fell into the water today and was rescued by Ye Yong!"
"You, you dare!" Xiuxiu's mother was furious. If this matter got out, how could Xiuxiu get married?
"Why shouldn't I dare?" Ye Caiping sneered, "I want to ask you, do we owe you money? Do we have to be forced by you to swear an oath?"
"Or are you planning to give us one or two hundred taels as hush money?"
Xiuxiu's mother exploded: "Bullshit, why should I give you hush money!"
"Then why should we keep your mouth shut?"
"Yes, Ye Yong himself promised that he would never tell anyone even if he died. Daquan's wife also agreed!"
"They are them, and we are us." Ye Caiping sneered and spread her hands: "You need to see your own situation clearly."
"You are not in the right just because you speak loudly and act arrogantly! Where do you get the confidence to threaten us? On the contrary, your Xiuxiu falling into the water is the biggest handle, and we have it in our hands all along! Now, it is you who needs us, not us who need you."
Xiuxiuniang's face changed drastically.
In fact, she knew very well that she was the weaker party, but she was so angry that she couldn't control herself and rushed over, going crazy!
Moreover, she subconsciously believed that Ye Yong was dull, honest and easy to control, Mrs. Du was stubborn, Mrs. Ye was cowardly, and Old Man Ye had some brains but was also a little aloof. Tie Niu and his wife are just two idiots.
As long as you take the initiative to intimidate them, you can control them.
Who would have thought that he had overlooked the variable Ye Caiping!
She is truly worthy of being called the evil woman who dared to break her mother-in-law's legs. She is cunning and mean, and her reputation is well-deserved!
Xiuxiuniang rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "So what do you want?"
"Apologize!" Ye Caiping said with a stern face.
"Yes, apologize! We didn't eat at your house, so we don't owe you anything." Tie Niu's wife stepped forward.
She felt a little uncomfortable just now. They didn't do anything, so why did they suddenly have to swear an oath?
Now after hearing what Ye Caiping said, I understood.
They were confused by Xiuxiuniang's nonsense.
Xiuxiu's mother was so angry that her liver ached. She looked at Ye Yong and said, "Ye Yong, are you just going to watch your aunt being bullied by them? You still say you care about my Xiuxiu!"
Ye Yong frowned and said, "Aunt, if it were me alone, I would take it even if you hit me for Xiuxiu's sake. But my mother, my grandparents, my aunt, and my two aunts have no obligation to suffer for me."
"I have already made my attitude clear. Even if I die, I will not tell anyone about what happened today. But I can't control my aunt and the others."
"you--"
"Will you apologize? Oh, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't. I don't have any advantages anyway, I just have a big mouth and I will nag everyone I meet." Ye Caiping smiled.
Xiuxiu's mother was so angry that she felt dizzy.
This time she really saw her situation clearly.
Thinking about it, she took a deep breath and spoke reluctantly:
"Cai Ping... and my sisters-in-law, today's incident... was because I was too worried. After all, this is a major event in Xiu Xiu's life, so I was a little anxious and said something wrong. Please forgive me."
"Then... please don't tell anyone about Xiuxiu..."
Tieniu's wife and Zhuzi's wife snorted, which was considered as their agreement.
Old Man Ye said in a deep voice: "Since your family has no intention of getting married, forget it. Although our family is poor, we will not do such immoral things."
Xiuxiuniang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Caiping again.
Ye Caiping sneered: "Why don't you leave? Whether this secret can be kept depends on your sincerity. Pray to the gods more and pray that we won't let it slip."
Xiuxiuniang was so angry that her liver ached, but there was nothing she could do, so she turned around and fled.
