Fang Zhiqiang made this trip to directly arrange the marriage between his mother and the old widower.
Widow Wang gave him one hundred and fifty taels of silver as a deposit, and was just waiting to go to Taohua Village to pick up the person and then give him the rest of the silver.
Fang Zhiqiang agreed immediately and discussed an auspicious day with Wang the Widow.
Seven days later, Widow Wang will bring people to Taohua Village to pick up the Fang family.
As for getting married and holding a wedding banquet.
Fang Zhiqiang took the initiative to say no.
They are both old, so there is no need to go through so much trouble.
Of course, the main reason was that he didn't want to use some money from the betrothal gift to handle this matter.
Wang the widower also agreed.
So the marriage was settled without the consent of the parties involved.
Fang's mother still didn't know about this and still scolded Wang Cuihua every day at home.
Fang's mother is very proud now, because she has 500 taels of silver for her retirement!
son?
Daughter-in-law?
Oh, what’s that?
It’s enough for her to have money!
However, Fang's mother's pride did not last for a few days. Firstly, she had money, but had no place to spend it, and she had no legitimate reason to use it.
She was also worried that once she took out the silver, it would be stolen by the thieves she had hired!
Second, the day of her "marriage" is approaching soon.
Early in the morning, Fang's mother was pulled out of bed by her son and daughter-in-law with a confused look on her face.
Wang Cuihua found some clothes from Fang's mother's pile that looked a little more festive and asked her to wear them, then began to pack Fang's mother's things.
Mrs. Fang didn't have much stuff, and before she could react to what they were doing, Wang Cuihua had already packed her bag and put it on her back.
"Qiangzi, Wang Cuihua, what are you doing?!"
Fang's mother was dressed neatly and carrying a bag, but she was completely dazed.
Wang Cuihua picked a big red flower from outside and pinned it on Fang's mother's hair.
"Mom, today is your good day. Our stepfather will come to take you home later."
Wang Cuihua said with a smile, which was like a bolt from the blue to the other party's mother.
Fang's mother's eyes went dark and widened, "You, what did you say?!"
"Mom, someone from the neighboring Wangjia Village has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry you. I have already agreed, and he will come to pick you up later.
From now on you are a member of the Wang family, so you don’t have to come to us unless there is something important.
You live your life well, and Cuihua and I will live well too, and continue the Fang family line."
Fang Zhiqiang took over the conversation and explained the matter very clearly this time.
If these words came from Wang Cuihua's mouth, Fang's mother would still suspect whether this little bitch was lying to her and did this on purpose to embarrass her.
But these words came from the mouth of her own son, whom she had carried for ten months and raised to this age.
Without her knowledge, her own son secretly agreed to her marriage and found a partner for her!
Her own son found a marriage for her, a widow!
Fang's mother felt a sore throat and tears welled up in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and said, "Qiangzi, how much gift did the other party give you? Don't worry, tell the truth, I won't ask you for money."
Fang Zhiqiang pursed his lips and said, "Three hundred taels of silver."
Fang's mother closed her eyes, tears sliding down her face ravaged by time.
This is not marrying your mother, it is clearly selling your mother!
Fang Zhiqiang watched his mother cry, and inexplicably felt a panic in his heart as if something was disappearing.
He wanted to catch that thing, but he didn't know how.
"Mom, mom, I have no choice. I owe a debt and I have to pay it back! Otherwise, they will chop off my legs!
Mom, when I make money, I will take you back! Mom! You believe me! "
Fang Zhiqiang finished speaking anxiously, and just then people from Wangjia Village arrived.
The Fang family's movements had already alarmed the villagers.
At this moment, the villagers all gathered around, and some people with sharp ears heard the conversation between Fang's mother and Fang Zhiqiang just now.
For a moment, I felt sad and a little gloating.
Fang's mother wanted to ask Fang Zhiqiang how much debt he owed that required him to sell her as his mother.
But the people from Wangjia Village had already taken her away.
She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Fang's mother, or rather Mrs. Wang, looked intently at Fang Zhiqiang and Wang Cuihua, who had a faint smile on her lips, then turned around and followed the people from Wangjia Village without looking back.
Neither Fang's mother nor Fang Zhiqiang knew that if they had been more honest just now.
Maybe things wouldn't turn out this way.
If Fang Zhiqiang had told his mother earlier that he owed five hundred taels of silver.
After Fang's mother gets the money from Wang Cuihua, she will give it to Fang Zhiqiang to pay off his debt.
Then the incident of selling the mother would naturally not happen.
This may even expose the fact that Wang Cuihua had a lover and faked her pregnancy after marriage.
But there is no such thing as knowing in advance.
Wang Cuihua was very satisfied with having torn the Fang family into pieces.
From now on, she will be the mistress of the Fang family.
No one dared to curse at her or point fingers at her anymore!
The villagers of Taohua Village who were watching looked at each other in confusion.
I don’t know whether I should say congratulations or don’t be sad.
But you know what, the son arranged a marriage for his widowed mother, and the widow only found out about it on the day of the wedding.
This was the first time this happened in their Taohua Village.
It’s really exciting and chilling!
I worked so hard to raise my son, but I didn't expect that I would be sold by my son when I was old!
The villagers looked at Fang Zhiqiang, wanting to say something but stopping themselves. In the end, they said nothing, shook their heads and sighed as they left.
Fang Zhiqiang looked at the direction his mother left, and felt as if a hole had been broken in his heart.
It's cool and a little painful.
"Fang Lang, don't be sad. We should congratulate Mother. Even if she gets married, she is still our Mother.
Besides, Mom has worked hard all her life, and getting married is a blessing. In the future, Mom will have a man to care for her and ask about her well-being. We should be happy."
Wang Cuihua whispered these words in Fang Zhiqiang's ear, which made Fang Zhiqiang feel that this was the case and it made sense.
The conscience and self-blame in his heart were suppressed.
"Cuihua, you are right. Don't worry, after I pay off my debt, we will live a good life in the future."
The most exciting thing in Taohua Village today is Fang Zhiqiang selling his mother.
Aunt Li didn't need to come in person to deal with this matter, Ying Xixi had already heard about it.
However, Aunt Li still brought the freshest melon to Ying Xixi.
"Xixi, let me tell you, the old man from Wangjia Village that the Fang family married had beaten two of his wives to death and had one run away!
Moreover, the old man is addicted to alcohol and loves gambling! Marrying into the Fang family won’t give her a good life!
Someone had just heard the conversation between Fang's mother and son. It was said that Fang Zhiqiang owed a debt but had no money to pay it back.
So he set his sights on his biological mother. It just so happened that the old man from Wangjia Village was willing to pay three hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift to marry someone from the Fang family.
Fang Zhiqiang agreed to this marriage without even telling his mother! "
