[Grandma, this is good news. Someone wants to marry their daughter to my uncle! ]
Old Mrs. Xia also thought so. It seemed that Zhang was really a jinx. As soon as she left, good things happened in the family.
"Sister, speaking of which, I have a few boys at home. I wonder how old my eldest niece is? I'm asking shamelessly. I think my little brat is definitely out of her league."
The woman had originally taken a fancy to Old Lady Xia, the mother-in-law, so she had this idea. "It's very cold, sister-in-law, let's go to my sister's house and sit down. It's not urgent, right?"
"Don't worry, it's rare for me to meet a girl, let's have a good chat."
"Mom...I'm leaving then!" said Zhang.
Old Mrs. Xia was originally quite angry, but now she is not angry at all, "Let's go, don't delay the important things, let's go, let's go!"
Zhang looked back and found that Old Mrs. Xia had gone far away.
After leaving the village, she felt the air was filled with the scent of happiness.
"Cousin, we don't have to be so sneaky anymore. I..."
“Bang!”
Zhang was caught off guard by the heavy slap. She was stunned and stood there in a daze, "Why...why did you hit me?"
"Hit you? I want to strangle you to death, you bitch. Five taels of silver. That's a full five taels of silver. Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? Do you deserve it?"
"Cousin... Cousin..."
"Shut up. With five taels of silver, I could have bought two virgin girls. I asked you to bring the land deed but you didn't. I now understand that you are working with the Xia family to cheat me out of my money."
"I...I didn't..."
"I don't believe your lies!" Hu Erping kicked her hard, venting his dissatisfaction, "Let's go!"
Zhang was dragged for a while, her wrist ached, but she realized that this was not the way back to Hu Erping's house, "Where are we going?"
She was panicking now and wanted to explain, but the man was angry and didn't listen to her at all.
"Five taels of silver, I have to find a way to earn it back, otherwise I won't be able to survive, and if I die, you'll be a widow."
"Where... where are you going? Where can a woman like me go to make money?" Zhang was frightened by his ferocious appearance and her voice was trembling.
"A few friends of mine to accompany me."
Zhang immediately understood what he meant, "I...I am your daughter-in-law!"
"Wife? Aren't you still a bitch? Aren't you in need of a man? I found five men for you today, and you have to serve them all. Hurry up and earn back the five taels of silver, or I'll skin you alive."
Zhang could already foresee the horrific scene. She wanted to run, but there was no way she could run faster than a man. In addition, she was covered with wounds from the beating she had just received, so she was caught after only two steps and was beaten even more severely.
The good days she had just been looking forward to were shattered in an instant, and she regretted it as soon as she left the village.
However, it was too late.
She can't go back to the Xia family.
Old Mrs. Xia took Xia Zhiliao home happily. Not only did she gain a good reputation, but she also got a daughter-in-law for free.
The woman just now, Mrs. Cheng Wang, thought that Old Lady Xia was sensible and treated her daughter-in-law well, and that it was right to marry her daughter into such a family. She ignored her sister's constant winking at her.
Old Mrs. Xia had always been worried about her sons' marriages because the family was so poor and she had to grit her teeth to support her second son's education, which undoubtedly made the situation worse. So every time she arranged marriages for her other sons, they were rejected.
Now that the jinx is gone, his son's marriage is settled. Moreover, after chatting with them, he found out that the Cheng family is quite well off. They only have one daughter, but she is a little weak.
"Mom, I...am I worthy of her?" Xia Jinyu was the first to lose his temper.
Old Lady Xia glared at him in a very unworthy way, "Why not? You are not lame, deaf or blind, and you look good."
[That's right, Third Uncle, you will be a great general in the future, killing countless enemies and being very majestic.]
After hearing this, Xia Jinyu swallowed and Old Lady Xia also cleared her throat.
She didn't expect that her listless third son would have such good fortune.
After the previous two incidents, she believed her granddaughter's words without a doubt.
She said that if the third son becomes a general, then he must be a general.
However, Xia Zhiliao remembered that Cheng was married into the Xia family in the novel. Unfortunately, she was weak and died of dystocia less than two years after marriage due to malposition of the fetus. His third uncle joined the army because he was too sad. After becoming a general, he never remarried.
Cheng must be a very good person, otherwise Uncle San wouldn't be obsessed with her.
But since she has come in, things can be changed, and Cheng should not die. After all, the fetal position is not a big deal for her.
"It's settled. I'll ask your second brother to pay the betrothal gift. I happen to have enough money on hand. It's such a coincidence that the girl from the Bai family should be the daughter-in-law of our Xia family."
"Mother~"
Old Madam Xia glared at him and said, "Why are you hesitating? Just marry me if I tell you to. Stop wasting your time and stop whining."
The sons of the Xia family were all afraid of Old Lady Xia. Seeing that she was angry, Xia Jinyu did not dare to say a word.
At this time, Xia Jiang and the others ran back and shouted loudly to Old Lady Xia as soon as they entered the door, "Grandma, Grandma!"
Old Mrs. Xia frowned, "I'm not deaf, what's the big deal?"
Xia Hai chuckled, with a hint of gloating, "Grandma, we just saw that our village was beaten up when the old lady came out, and the man even asked her to accompany him drinking or something."
Although the three boys are young, they know the difference between good and bad. Zhang had bullied Chen at home many times before, and had beaten them too, so they were eager for someone to punish Zhang.
After hearing this, Old Lady Xia sighed, "Ah, she left our Xia family to live a good life and went out to find a man. I also helped her, so you can't blame me."
She laughed dryly twice. It didn't get her hands dirty, nor would it affect her son's future. It also gave her a good reputation.
Few people can compare to my little granddaughter's thoughtfulness.
The key is that she is still so young.
"Cheela, come, follow grandma into the house."
Xia Zhiliao hurriedly trotted to catch up. Grandma seemed happy and asked her to come into the house. Was she going to give her something?
Anyway, she now knows that her grandmother loves her very much and will never beat or scold her.
[Is grandma going to give me some heirloom? ]
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xia cleared her throat. It’s not good to disappoint her granddaughter, right?
But she originally just wanted to give the child some dried apricots.
【What baby? 】
Old Madam Xia retracted her hand, then gritted her teeth and took off the silver bracelet on her wrist. "Here, I'll give it to you."
