Chapter 42 Earning the Dowry



Li Ermei was unhappy and stepped forward to teach Xia Tiantian a lesson.

"What are you saying, you little bastard? You have nothing to do with my brother-in-law. If you dare to slander him again, I will slap you in the face."

At this time, more and more people came to watch.

There were people who started to make a fuss.

Some people see it as a joke.

Anyway, there are all kinds of people who like to watch the show.

"You scabby dog, you're so lucky today. You picked up such a beautiful lady. Are you going to go home and have your wedding night tonight? When are you going to invite everyone in our village to a feast?"

The mangy dog ​​chuckled twice.

"No money, no invitation."

"Tsk, the person who married you is really unlucky."

The mangy dog ​​ignored the urging of others. Seeing that Xia Tiantian refused to leave, he simply picked her up.

Xia Tiantian was so scared that she struggled desperately.

"Don't touch me, help!"

"You scabby dog, put him down for me."

At this time, the captain came over.

He quickly walked up to the mangy dog ​​and said in a sharp voice, "Put it down."

The mangy dog ​​reluctantly threw Xia Tiantian to the ground.

As soon as Xia Tiantian was free, she crawled away from the mangy dog.

Zhou Ying, who was following the captain, hurried to help Xia Tiantian.

Her eyes were gentle, "Are you okay? Get up quickly."

Zhou Ying just saw Xia Tiantian fall into the water and the mangy dog ​​jumped in to save her.

She knew something like this would happen, so she quickly went to find the captain.

After all, Xia Tiantian's parents both work in government agencies, and we can't afford to offend them!

The captain would definitely not allow the scabby boy to take Xia Tiantian home as his wife.

When Xia Tiantian was alone, she saw someone finally came to help her.

I was so moved that tears welled up in my eyes.

With a sound of "Wow", she burst into tears.

"It's okay. The captain won't let that scabby dog ​​take you away."

Zhou Ying patted Xia Tiantian on the back to comfort her.

The people watching around were a little confused about what was going on.

"Zhou Ying, why are you so close to Xia Tiantian? Could it be that your brother-in-law is not going to marry Shen Jiaojiao anymore, but is going to marry Xia Tiantian instead?"

Just as Zhou Ying was about to explain, Li Ermei grabbed his hand.

Li Ermei looked very unhappy.

She pulled Zhou Ying away from Xia Tiantian and scolded her, "I think you are used to being a good person. You want to meddle in everyone's troubles. If you ruin your brother-in-law's reputation, I will beat you to death."

Then he turned to the people watching the excitement and said, "Stop gossiping! There is no way Xia Tiantian will marry into our family."

Li Ermei glared at Zhou Ying again and dragged him away.

The captain gave the scabby boy a lecture, then comforted Xia Tiantian, and then found someone to send her home.

Xia Tiantian was already frightened out of her wits. She didn't dare to stay in the village any longer and followed the people back to the county town.

When Xu Mo returned home, Xu Meili happened to come back with a backpack.

"Third brother, why are you back? Ouch! Your hand is bleeding."

Xu Meili put down the backpack and ran into the kitchen. When she came out, she was holding a handful of wood ash in her hand.

Without thinking twice, he directly pressed the wood ash on Xu Mo's wound.

Xu Meili grinned.

Xu Mo looked at her with amusement.

"I was injured, not you. Why do you look so painful?"

"It hurts just looking at it. Third brother, how did you cut your hand so deeply? Were you distracted while working? Our teacher said that you can't do two things at once while working."

Xu Mo pulled his hand back, "Go and play by yourself!"

"oh."

Xu Mo returned to the room, found a piece of rag to wrap the wound and did nothing else.

Then I fetched some water and took a bath.

When I lay in bed, I started thinking about marrying Shen Jiaojiao.

The room he lives in now was originally occupied by the first and second wives.

Now that I've vacated the room, there's nothing in it except a kang.

It can be described as a bare-bones house.

And the wall is made of mud.

There is a layer of newspaper on the wall, which makes it look a little better.

When you get married, the house must be furnished.

Liu Xiaolan has already asked the village carpenter to make a set of furniture for her.

It should be delivered in two or three days.

But Xu Mo felt that these things were far from enough to marry Shen Jiaojiao.

Now the more I think about it, the more I feel that Shen Jiaojiao was wronged and suffered by marrying him.

At least, he should give Shen Jiaojiao a decent betrothal gift!

By the way, there’s also Shen Jiaojiao’s family, at least they should be notified!

Thinking of this, Xu Mo became even more nervous.

I was so nervous that after just taking a shower, a layer of sweat broke out all over my body.

I don’t know whether Shen Jiaojiao told her family about their affairs.

If she told him, would her family hate him?

If he hadn't told her, her family would definitely hate him even more after finding out about this!

Xu Mo was restless and uneasy at the moment.

Just go out.

He found a sharper sickle and headed up the mountain.

He has to earn the betrothal gift for Shen Jiaojiao.

Rabbits, pheasants, and roe deer are more common on the mountain, while wild boars are more common in the deep mountains.

But generally you can't go deep into the mountains.

Wild boars are so powerful that even adult men may not be able to defeat them.

Xu Mo didn't plan to go to the mountains today.

He just stayed outside the mountain, looking for some rabbits, pheasants or roe deer.

After all, he had no intention of handing over the game he had found to the team.

He wanted to take these things to the black market to exchange for money.

With money, I can give Shen Jiaojiao a generous betrothal gift.

And why not go hunting for wild boar.

That's because the wild boars are too big, and it's inconvenient to transport them out secretly.

It would be even more troublesome if someone found out.

As for going to the black market, Xu Mo was actually already familiar with it.

His father had been sick and bedridden for so many years, requiring huge amounts of medical expenses, and he secretly went to the black market to get the money.

But now private trading is not allowed.

So, he couldn't make much noise.

Make money in moderation.

Xu Mo wandered around the mountain for two hours.

The harvest was also quite rich.

There was a roe deer, three rabbits and four pheasants.

He collected all the small animals he caught in a hidden cave.

He discovered the cave by accident.

There's quite a large space inside, and the location is hidden enough for him to do some fiddling.

After putting the small animals in place, he found a large rock to block the cave and left.

From a distance, the cave was a completely inconspicuous place covered with weeds.

So there is no fear of being found.

When Xu Mo returned home, it was almost evening.

When he went down the mountain, he picked up some dry firewood.

After stacking the firewood, we started to make a fire and cook.

As the evening approached, his mood became more and more excited.

Suddenly I really wanted to see Shen Jiaojiao.
