Shi Qingluo sat down leisurely.
He looked at Niu and said, "I'm thirsty. Go get me a cup of tea."
Niu really wanted to slap her daughter who was becoming more and more arrogant. Who would dare to order her own mother to serve her tea and pour water? Unfortunately, she didn't dare to do so. She had refuted several times before, and she was beaten with a cane by the dead girl, and her whole body was burning with pain.
"Drink it!" After she made the tea, she placed the cup heavily on the table, hoping that the tea would choke her to death.
Old Master Shi looked at it with a painful feeling, this was the tea he had hidden for himself to drink, and it had all gone into the mouth of this evil creature in the past few days, he felt so upset.
Shi Qingluo took a sip and said disdainfully: "The quality of this tea is still a bit poor. Fortunately, I don't have to drink it anymore."
In modern times, she was influenced by her grandfather about tea culture and fell in love with drinking tea.
In the past, she would not even look at this tea, but now she can only make do with it.
When I make money, I will buy some good tea.
Mr. Shi: “…”
The tea that he himself was reluctant to drink was almost finished by her, and she had the nerve to be so disgusted with it.
He continued to suppress his anger, "You just said you were going to get married, what did you mean?"
Shi Qingluo replied: "I have my eyes on a family and have already negotiated with them. I will marry them the day after tomorrow."
"Puff!" Mr. Shi couldn't help but spit out the water he had just drunk.
The others also looked stunned.
Shi Lao San thought he had heard it wrong, "What the hell? You're going to marry her the day after tomorrow?"
At that time, the old lady and Niu asked in unison: "Which family?"
Shi Qingluo said truthfully: "Xiao Xiucai's home in Xiaxi Village next door."
Niu was very surprised and asked: "What? You are not going to marry Mr. Xiao?"
She usually likes to go out and chat, so she knows the situation of Xiao Xiucai's family.
Shi Qingluo rolled his eyes at her, "Yes! If I don't marry him, can I marry his younger brother who is a few years younger than him?"
Niu asked, "Did you know that Xiao Xiucai was in a coma and would probably be a widow if she married him? Did you know that their family had no money to buy medicine? Did you know that he had severed his relationship with his general father?"
Don't want a powerful general father, but a poor divorced mother. In his eyes, Xiao Xiucai is just a fool.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Of course I know, I wanted to marry him because of his family situation."
She glanced at the Shi family and said bluntly, "Even if I marry and become a widow, it will be more comfortable than living with you guys."
Shi family: “…”
Old Lady Shi said with a sullen face: "Are you crazy? If the Xiao family hadn't had the recent incident, they would have been a good family. Now they are in a hellhole."
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "No matter how bad the situation is, it can't be as bad as the Shi family's, right?"
"The reason you say that is because their family can't afford the betrothal gift?" She was familiar with the Shi family's extreme character.
Hearing this, Old Lady Shi's face froze and she sneered, "We raised you to this age, so shouldn't we accept a betrothal gift when we marry you off?"
It didn't matter whether it was a fire pit or not, she really didn't care whether the dead girl jumped or not.
What's more, they even hope it's a fire pit, but the key is that this fire pit has to be valuable, like the Wu family's.
Niu couldn't help but agree, "That's right. No matter what, if the Xiao family wants to marry you, they must pay ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift."
She wanted to ask for one hundred taels, but the Xiao family would never give it.
When she thought about the hundred taels just flying away like that, she felt sad again.
Others felt similarly.
Old Lady Shi agreed and said, "Yes, if they don't have money, let them borrow it."
Shi Qingluo looked at them with a half-smile, "You want ten taels of silver? That's fine, but I don't know if you have the life to spend it."
Shi’s family: “…” Is this human language?
Niu was so angry that her heart ached. "Don't forget, we raised you."
Shi Qingluo sneered, "I started working when I was three years old, and was sent to a Taoist temple when I was five. You took my wages every month, so are you sure you raised me?"
Her face instantly turned cold. "I don't have a penny for the betrothal gift, and you still have to pay me the compensation you owe me."
Niu looked like she was crazy and asked loudly, "What? Not only do we not give you a betrothal gift, but we also have to compensate you?"
Shi Qingluo grabbed the cane that he had deliberately placed under the table and whipped him, "Shouldn't I be compensated?"
"You guys have been sucking my blood all these years."
Niu was caught off guard and jumped up when he was hit, "Ah!"
She wanted to yell or sit on the ground and throw a tantrum, but when she saw Shi Qingluo's cold eyes, she held it back.
How could she have given birth to such a disobedient and unfilial child? Old Lady Shi said hastily, "No, the family's money has long been spent, and your fourth uncle doesn't even have enough money to take the exam for the scholar next year."
Shi Qingluo knew that all the money in the family would be used to help Shi Laosi take the imperial examination.
Old Lady Shi values money more than her life, so it is unlikely that she would be able to take it out.
She had already thought about it, "Then use food as compensation. Give me 100 kilograms of coarse grains, and I want those three bags of soybeans and mung beans in the kitchen, too."
This is extremely painful but within the acceptable range.
From my memories, I learned that there were no potatoes, sweet potatoes or corn in this dynasty.
The main coarse grains are buckwheat, sorghum and beans.
The Xiao family is short of food now, and she doesn't want to marry into the family and eat wild vegetables every day, as eating too much of that would give her heartburn.
As for soybeans and mung beans, they are of great use to her.
"No!" Old Mrs. Shi and several of her daughters-in-law shrieked in denial at the same time.
The men of the Shi family also looked disapproving.
Not only did she not give a betrothal gift, but she also asked them to give food. What good was this little girl thinking?
Shi Qingluo knew they would react like this.
She took a sip of tea slowly, "I'm not asking for your opinion, but telling you to get ready."
"If you really don't want to, that's fine."
"Then I won't get married. I'll just stay at home and wait until the government arranges my marriage."
"You can't be short of eggs, meat, and rice every day. Otherwise, if I get unhappy, I might send you down there to keep you company."
She said, as if she was taking special care of you. "You can choose whether you want to be blown to death, chopped to death, or beaten to death."
Someone from the Shi family: “…” A mouthful of blood got stuck in his chest.
What a curse! How could they have such a curse! Old Master Shi said with a dark face: "Which girl in our village would marry like this?"
Shi Qingluo said in a nonchalant tone: "So I'll be the first to do this."
Shi’s family: “…” Why don’t you just die.
In the end, she was forced to give in under the fierce threats from Shi Qingluo, and the fact that the people in the Shi family couldn't stand her anymore.
So he could only agree with a wry smile, wishing he could send the person to the Xiao family tomorrow.
The next morning, Xiao's mother and the clan leader's wife went to Shi's family to propose marriage.
Xiao's mother still bought meat and candy.
The Shi family also has a reputation in Shangxi Village that is not easy to mess with, mainly because the eldest brother Shi and his brothers and their wives are fierce and violent.
Therefore, Xiao's mother and the clan leader's wife thought that proposing marriage would not be easy, and the clan leader's wife was prepared for how to deal with it if the other party was difficult to deal with.
Who would have thought that although the Shi family didn't look very happy, they were surprisingly easy to talk to.
What's more, there was even a feeling that he wished they could take Shi Qingluo away today.
Finally, they agreed to get married tomorrow. Not only did she not ask for a betrothal gift, but she also gave a few bags of grain as a dowry.
This made Xiao's mother and the clan leader's wife feel dizzy after being sent out, and they felt like they were dreaming.
