"What?" Liang Siyu's eyes widened in disbelief. "Your Meng family is taking a wife, and you've turned me, a perfectly good young woman, into a divorced woman. Now you not only want to take back everything you gave us, but you even want to charge us for food and lodging. Do you think your Meng family is an inn? You're utterly shameless!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Fu immediately sneered, "You say I'm shameless? And what about you? You're the one who's shameless, clinging to Su Sanhu like a leech!"
After saying that, he bent down and leaned close to the woman's face, his voice lowered, "Let me tell you, we don't have a single penny left in the family. Whether you divorce or not, you have to take back every single thing the Meng family gave us."
If anything is missing, you'll have to pay the difference in silver.
If you don't have any money to pay, I'll make you go out and earn some more!
Liang Siyu was so angry she almost fell over backwards. "All the betrothal gifts, silver hairpins, and silver bracelets in the house were exchanged for silver to pay Yaozu's tuition. The satin was also made into clothes. Now, if you want to return them, I will only give you my life!"
“If you don’t have money, you can earn it!” Meng Fu’s eyes were sinister, and he scanned Liang Siyu from head to toe as if he were appraising merchandise.
"You've always been quite capable, haven't you? Go to the city and work as a smuggler; you'll definitely make a lot of money!"
"A...a brothel...?!" Upon hearing this, Liang Siyu felt a surge of anger erupt from the top of her head, and she frantically scratched at the man's face. "Meng Fu, you bastard! You actually let your wife work as a brothel to make money, are you crazy for money?"
If you're so eager for money, then clean yourself and your father up, go work at the Nanfeng Pavilion, and stop causing me trouble..."
Meng Fusheng was strong and sturdy. The girl in front of him looked like a hopping rabbit in front of him. He raised his hand and pressed her hands on either side of her head. "I would like to work at Nanfeng Pavilion, but I am too tall and strong. They don't want me. My father is too old, and the pavilion doesn't want him either."
Only you, this color and body shape are just right, exactly the kind of style that men like.
If you don't want to take the shady route, then you can try to get in touch with Su Sanhu and have him pay the money for you.
I'll give you three days. If you can't raise the money within three days, I'll send you to the city immediately.
"Oh, and don't even think about running away. If you do, I'll go straight to Xiahe Village to find Liang Yaozu. You always dote on this younger brother, you definitely don't want anything to happen to him, right?"
"You beast! Meng Fu, you are a beast, a heartless beast..." Liang Siyu looked at the man's vicious expression, and her heart was filled with regret. The happy home she thought she had turned out to be a hell that devoured people without spitting out their bones!
At the end of the village, when Su Sanhu returned to the courtyard, Su Hua and her group had just dug up a basket of termite mushrooms.
The nest they found this time was quite large, and they dug up a total of about 20 kilograms of termite mushrooms, most of which were still unopened.
Su Hua planned to use half of the chicken to stew and the other half to make chicken oil. Stewing chicken is about enjoying its freshness, while chicken oil is about enjoying its aroma. Adding a little chicken oil to boiled noodles can make them so fragrant that it will make your soul leave your body.
In the courtyard, Su Baishi had already plucked the feathers of a little hen and was cleaning its internal organs. When she saw the boy walking back, she immediately glared at him with her slanted eyes.
"You're like a turtle coming ashore. I asked you to deliver something to the Zhou family, and you've been dawdling until this late. If you're any slower, all the lambs in Cangwu Town will be bought up."
The boy responded softly and hurried to the stable to fetch the carriage.
Su Hua was washing chicken legs with leaves when she heard the sound. She glanced at Su Sanhu, moved her foot in his direction, and joked, "What's wrong, Third Brother? Did you run into a ghost on the road and are you out of your mind?"
"In broad daylight, where would a ghost come from!" Su Sanhu shook his head and laughed, but then paused for a moment and said softly, "Does Hua'er know when Brother Jinhan will be back?"
Su Hua raised an eyebrow. "He just headed towards the capital last night. It'll take him at least eleven or twelve days to get there and back. What do you want to see him about?"
The matter of the sweet potato was still undecided, and she hadn't told her family yet to avoid getting false hope. Therefore, the Su family only knew that Xiao Jinhan had gone to the capital, but they didn't know the specifics.
The boy pursed his lips. "I want to ask him what the requirements are for going to the military camp in the southern border region, and whether someone like me can go..."
Su Hua was taken aback.
Before she could react, Su Bai's loud voice boomed, "Go to the military camp?! Su Sanhu, you finally get a few full meals, and you start thinking about all this nonsense, huh?"
Going to the military camp in southern Xinjiang?! Do you think you can fly over rooftops or scale walls? Don't think you can go to the battlefield just because you learned a couple of moves from the Yu brothers.
"Don't you even know how many arms and legs you have that someone can chop off? Hurry up and pull the cart to Cangwu Town, stop thinking about all this nonsense..."
Su Sanhu trembled all over from the shout and had no chance to reply. He could only lead the carriage out of the courtyard.
Su Hua watched Su Sanhu's retreating figure, a hint of hesitation flashing across her clear, almond-shaped eyes.
Her third brother did indeed enjoy wielding swords and spears, especially after learning that Xiao Jinhan was the young general from the Southern Frontier. He wanted to follow him everywhere, but he never mentioned going to the military camp.
These days, out of nowhere, he goes out to deliver groceries and suddenly says he has to go to the military camp. Could it be that he really encountered a ghost on the way?
Meanwhile, at Su Ji Restaurant in Qingshui County, on the second floor, in the Nanzhi private room.
Jun Yan, dressed in a dark blue robe, sat at the dining table. The soup pot in front of him had been replaced with a half-and-half pot this time. He couldn't stand the purely spicy hot pot he ate yesterday, so he had to blanch it in boiling water before eating it.
Even so, I still felt uncomfortable squatting in the toilet this morning.
Ye Yu walked into the private room and saw the man stuffing food into his mouth one chopstick after another. His usually expressionless lips twitched. At this rate, their 3,000 tael black gold card would probably need to be renewed soon.
After a full half-cup of tea time.
Jun Yan put down his chopsticks and looked up at Ye Yu. "What? A letter has arrived from the capital?"
"Yes." Ye Yu lowered his eyes and handed over the drawing paper in his hand. "Master, this is a portrait of Prince Zhan when he was young."
