The old woman was so angry that she stood on tiptoe and patted the farmer on the back of his head. She patted the money in her hand and pointed at Qin Zheng anxiously, indicating that the money was given to her by Qin Zheng.
"So much? Is this too much?"
The farmer was surprised again and looked at Ye Yun and Qin Zheng in disbelief.
Ye Yun smiled and said, "Not much."
She showed the bellyband in her hand and said, "Auntie gave me a bellyband. This bellyband alone is worth several dollars. I also had a meal at your house. It was worth it."
The old lady waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that a bellyband was not worth the price she mentioned.
She bought a large piece of cloth from outside and bought thread. All these materials cost only a few cents in total, but it took a lot of time to embroider.
But for a woman like her who is illiterate and cannot speak, the thing she has the most is time.
The old man looked at Qin Zheng and Ye Yun seriously. He was a streetwalker and recognized Qin Zheng. He sat up straight and asked seriously, "Are you the one from Qin's family in the Blackwater Brigade?"
Qin Zheng nodded.
He thought that Old Mazi probably wouldn't have a very good impression of him, so he didn't explain much.
The old woman had also heard of Qin Zheng's bad reputation, but she had just come into contact with Qin Zheng and Ye Yun and felt that he was not the person as rumored. She looked at Qin Zheng and Ye Yun curiously again and again.
Ye Yun took the initiative to change the subject: "Uncle, did you just tell me about the Guo family?"
The old man coughed suddenly.
As a streetwalker, he also knew the relationship between Qin Zheng and the Guo family. However, Qin Zheng's appearance at his house at this moment made him feel a little coincidental. He got angry when he mentioned the Guo family, which made him unhappy when he opened his mouth: "Qin family, what are you doing here? To be a lobbyist?"
Qin Zheng felt a little unhappy when he heard this. Why was he angry about the Guo family's affairs?
Ye Yun patted his hand soothingly, turned around and said to Old Matou, "No, we are here to buy stinky tofu, but we didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, please don't misunderstand."
When the old man heard her say this, his expression softened a little.
"Okay, since you are not here for the Guo family, then I would like you to tell the Guo family that we will not accept this marriage! It's not that our daughter is unmarried. If she wants to exchange two chickens for a grown-up daughter, let her look for one somewhere else!"
Ye Yun: “…”
With a whoosh, the girl from the next room opened the door and came out crying.
"Dad! You said we don't want to get married, so what? That's not what you said when I was dating Guo Youcai. Now we have a relationship, but you want to break us up. How can you make it so easy?"
The old man with pockmarks was stunned by the shouting.
Then he slammed the table and said angrily, "Why are you arguing with me? It's me who doesn't allow you to get married? She didn't pay the bride price, but just gave two chickens. Who is she humiliating? If she treats you so harshly before you get married, how will you live after you get married?"
The older girl was scolded so much that she was speechless. She twitched violently and started wiping away her tears.
The sturdy farmer said, "Xiu'er, my father is also thinking about your future. The two chickens have finally shown us what kind of people he is. You have to think carefully about it!"
"I don't care! Youcai and I get along just fine, what should I do if we break up?"
"You! A money-loser!"
The old man was so disappointed with his friend that he slammed the table and glared at Miss Xiu'er sternly.
The whole family was arguing fiercely, and the atmosphere in the palm-sized courtyard was heavy. Ye Yun and Qin Zheng sat on pins and needles, not daring to move.
The atmosphere was too quiet.
Ye Yun carefully looked at the people in Lao Matou's family, approached Qin Zheng, lowered her voice and asked quietly: "Lao Guo's family...are there only two chickens left after being fined?"
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "No."
"Um?"
"I've given her a lot of money over the years, and she's saved it all. After a few years, she's saved at least 500 or 600 yuan, but she just doesn't want to spend it."
“…”
Bang! Suddenly, the old man slapped the stone table hard, frightening Ye Yun so much that she trembled all over and subconsciously got into Qin Zheng's arms and hugged Qin Zheng's waist.
Qin Zheng quickly patted her shoulder soothingly and looked at the old man with an unhappy look.
The old man didn't care about that. He had sharp ears and heard what Qin Zheng just said. He asked with a serious face, "Qin Jiazi, are you serious?"
Qin Zheng: “…”
He looked at Ye Yun and curled the corners of his lips. He had spoken very softly just now.
Ye Yun let out an awkward laugh.
Qin Zheng's silence was equivalent to acquiescence, and the old man was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, clenched his fists and said with red eyes: "Damn it! This old woman! Isn't this bullying our Xiu'er! I won't marry her! I definitely won't marry her!"
Xiu'er was also shocked.
Before, Guo Youcai told her that his family had suffered a disaster and now they had little assets. He said that the two chickens were their only assets. However, Guo Youcai told her not to worry, saying that once she married him, they would immediately separate and he would work hard so that she would not live a hard life.
She wiped her tears, looked at Qin Zheng with dissatisfaction and said, "Who are you? Don't talk nonsense..."
After that, she hurried to beg the old man, saying, "Dad, Youcai said that he has found a job in the town. He is in the transport team with his eldest brother from the Qin family!"
"oh?"
Ye Yun became interested and looked up at Qin Zheng with a puzzled look.
The old man also frowned and cast a suspicious look at Qin Zheng, hoping that Qin Zheng could give him an answer that would satisfy him.
Qin Zheng shook his head silently.
It's so funny, he himself didn't even know it happened.
