As he said this, he handed a red cloth bag of money and a sack to Zhang Haisan.
Li Chunhua rushed forward with shining eyes, stretching her head to see what was going on. Zhang Haisan saw that the old lady looked very unpleasant and snorted in disgust. However, he was eager to see the betrothal gifts, so he ignored them.
"Oh my!" Li Chunhua couldn't help screaming when she saw the two pheasants in the sack, "Hey, this, this... We have pheasants to eat!"
When the widow saw Li Chunhua's greedy look, she missed her very much, but she felt a little sad in her heart.
Eating meat is so hard these days. He caught one pheasant a few days ago and kept the other, unwilling to eat it. The other, he heard from a matchmaker the day before yesterday that someone was willing to marry his granddaughter to his son, but they wanted a pheasant and a gift. So, his son immediately went to the mountains to catch chickens, saying he had to catch a pheasant no matter what in order to get a wife.
I actually brought back a chicken yesterday.
Although she was reluctant, she had to give up the chicken despite the pain since someone was willing to marry their daughter to her.
While the old lady was staring at the pheasant, Zhang Haisan quickly checked the gift money. It was a full 100 yuan! That was a lot of money. Sixty cents was enough for pork. How many kilograms of pork could be bought with that?
Zhang Haisan was very satisfied and nodded: "She is in the house. You have to find a way. She has a knife in her hand."
The widow couldn't help but say, "This woman still has a knife in her hand. It's difficult for us to pick up the bride. Please make it cheaper!"
"Impossible!" Zhang Haisan immediately put the money into his inner pocket. "That's all the gift money I can't afford!"
Humph, how can I possibly give out the money I’ve earned?
Ma Dahu didn't care at all and just said, "We will catch the person ourselves, you are not allowed to regret it."
He has not been able to marry since his last wife died. Now that he finally has one, of course he can't let her run away.
"Just keep an eye on her. If she runs away, it's none of our business!" Zhang Haisan was shrewd and made things clear. Otherwise, with Zhang Xingrong's behavior, he'd definitely make a big fuss. If she really ran away, asking him to return the money? That was impossible!
The widow snorted, "Our Hukeng Village is at the foot of a cliff. There's only one way out. Want to run? No way!"
It's precisely because their village is so isolated, deep in the mountains, and so poor and difficult, that no one wants to marry there. From their village, it takes at least half a day to walk out of the mountains! Just like today, when they came to pick up the bride, they left before daybreak and only arrived at two or three in the afternoon.
Now that they have picked up the bride, they will definitely miss her if they go back. They will have to stay in the wooden house in Yamaguchi for one night and can go back tomorrow.
You can't walk on the mountain roads at night; it's too dangerous. Not to mention the wolves and leopards, the roads themselves are too steep. If you're not careful, you could fall off the cliff and die. So you have to walk during the day.
Ma Dahu went to arrest the man without saying a word.
Chen Xuezhi and her daughter followed excitedly behind. Rongzi cried out and wanted to go up to watch the fun, so Chen Xuezhi hugged her.
She was worried about what would happen if a fight broke out and her son got hurt.
Ma Dahu came to the kitchen door and stared at Zhang Xingrong in the room. His fierce and sinister gaze was like a snake wrapped around Zhang Xingrong. Zhang Xingrong could feel that she had become this man's prey, and this man was ready to slaughter her.
This feeling is not good!
