Chapter 111: Little Country Girl Blooms Everywhere in the Period Literature 7
Mother Xia hurried forward and held her son, "If you have something to say, just say it. These two children have known each other since they were young. Why are you getting angry?"
Haitang said weakly again, "I don't have one."
"Xia Haitang, do you want to die?"
Haitang was so scared that she almost cried...
Yuanshan blocked Haitang's entire body, "The driver will deliver the gifts in a while. I came to say hello to you and then leave. I still have to visit the village chief of your village."
Father and Mother Xia looked at each other and stepped forward to stop the two. Mother Xia spoke up, "Yuanshan, it's not impossible for you to marry our Haitang. We raised her up. The betrothal gift..."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"The minimum gift is 500..."
Mother Xia held up five fingers, looked at Father Xia, and immediately changed her words, pointing to one finger, "No, one thousand."
Father Xia quickly chimed in, "Yes, one thousand. It was not easy for us to raise this girl with all our hard work. We were going to keep her as our daughter-in-law."
Qi Yuanshan just smiled and said, "Haitang wants a thousand for the betrothal gift? It's not much. Let's go to the village chief together."
The Xia family members all opened their eyes wide, even Xia Yu stopped making a fuss. One thousand yuan was enough to marry a few wives in the town.
"Tuttttt."
The four of them immediately gave way.
Xia Xue followed Yuan Shan silently. She thought she was much better than Hai Tang and could read. This man said he would take Hai Tang to the capital and he could afford a thousand yuan. If there was a chance...
Xia's parents naturally saw through their daughter's plan, but they did not stop her and even tried to pull some strings.
...
Haitang glanced at Yuanshan, and he took the opportunity to wrap her small hand with his big hand, brought it to his side, squeezed it in his palm, and smiled at her dotingly.
Haitang naturally didn't care and just felt at ease being taken care of.
...
The village chief’s house is not far away.
Xia Yu ran over in advance to call for help.
He thought he would be able to get a thousand dollars soon, so he moved very skillfully.
When they arrived, the village chief was just coming out of the house, and a few people who came to watch the fun came to the door one after another.
Everyone saw a man coming over with the unwanted little girl in his hand. The man was obviously from the city. The clothes on the little girl looked expensive, so they were all very curious.
Xia Yu whispered a few words in the village chief's ear. The village chief frowned and walked towards Yuanshan. "Mr. Xia, the Xia family said that you want to marry Haitang to them? Do you want us to be witnesses?"
Yuanshan didn't answer, but just smiled and said in a steady voice, "What's your name?"
"Your surname is Xia."
"Village Chief Xia, can you please have a word with me?"
The village chief looked at his yard and saw more and more people gathering. He nodded, led them into the house and closed the door. Xia Yu wanted to follow in, but he couldn't.
Qi Yuanshan asked Haitang to wait at the door, and Haitang stood there obediently, looking down at her little shoes, not looking around or paying any attention to anyone.
But just because she ignores it doesn't mean others will let her go.
There was a fat auntie cracking melon seeds, and a skinny man followed her. The man hadn't even put down his hoe yet, and he must have just come back from the fields. The two walked towards Haitang, "Hey, little girl, who is that man? Why did I see him holding your hand? You guys aren't having an affair, are you?"
The opening is a big hat...
