Chapter 171 Something Happened to the Liu Family

When Wei Sanniang went back, her steps were a little unsteady.

She really didn't expect that this would turn out like this.

Wei Sanniang took a few steps and suddenly became excited again. She pulled Wei Pozi's hand and said, "Second sister...would you like to pinch me?"

After laughing, Mrs. Wei felt a little sad.

The Jiang family is indeed good, but it is still a little weak compared to the Liu family; besides, the two children are also well matched, so it can be considered a good marriage.

Her third sister was trembling with fear, as if her Yuanfeng was trying to marry a princess.

It can be seen how difficult it is to find a satisfactory marriage under the oppression of the eldest branch of the Liu family.

Mrs. Wei patted the back of Wei Sanniang's hand and splashed some cold water on it to cool her down. "Alright, don't get excited yet. Have you forgotten what the Jiang family said before, that they think your family is too complicated? ... You still have to talk to your old man when you go back."

"Yes, you are right, second sister," Wei Sanniang ignited a fierce fighting spirit, "I will go back and tell my master now."

Mrs. Wei nodded and said with relief: "When Yuanfeng's matter is almost settled, it's time for us to go back."

Although Wei Sanniang was somewhat reluctant to leave, she also understood that she still had a shop in the county, so she naturally could not stay in the provincial capital for long.

"Once Yuanfeng gets married and settles down, I will go back to Mapo County to see you and my fourth brother." Wei Sanniang held Wei Po's hand tightly and promised.

"That's great." Mrs. Wei replied with a smile, "Then I'll wait for you."

Wei Sanniang returned to the Liu family happily, and immediately went to find Old Lady Liu and told her that the Jiang family had agreed to the marriage.

But there was a condition, that is, the Jiang family wanted the young couple to live on their own.

As Wei Sanniang had expected, although Old Lady Liu said that the eyes were not eyes and the nose was not a nose, she finally agreed to let Liu Yuanfeng live in the small house on the outskirts of the city after they got married.

Wei Sanniang was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Old Mrs. Liu was not very happy again.

After being married for so many years, she is so happy that she is moving out?

After being happy, Wei Sanniang hesitated for a moment, but still asked Old Lady Liu for money.

After all, the house had not been lived in for many years, and my son was going to move in and get married, so it had to be renovated.

Also, according to custom, as the legitimate son, the son should receive a subsidy of fifty taels of silver when he gets married.

Old Lady Liu became even more annoyed. She placed her hands on the tiger-head armrests and glared at Wei Sanniang with her dim eyes wide open: "You are the old lady of this family after all. Why are you so timid at your age? The eldest daughter-in-law is in charge of the accounts. You are her mother-in-law. If you ask her for money, will she refuse to give it to you?"

Wei Sanniang lowered her eyes.

I thought, of course I would give it, but whether she would say something unpleasant before giving it to me would depend on the eldest brother's wife's mood.

——Her Yuanfeng is getting married, and getting married means choosing a wife of his own. Can the eldest son’s wife be happy?

"That's enough!" Old Lady Liu turned around unhappily and told her attendant, "You and the old lady should go to the first lady's place."

Wei Sanniang raised her head in disbelief and looked at Old Lady Liu.

Old Lady Liu's long-time attendant has followed Old Lady Liu for fifty years. Whatever he does represents Old Lady Liu's intentions.

With a long-time attendant following him, he no longer had to worry about his eldest daughter-in-law, Dalin, doing anything evil.

Wei Sanniang was simply overjoyed.

She didn't stay long and immediately took her attendant to the main house.

Although she didn't know why the old man gave her this convenience, Wei Sanniang knew that she must seize the opportunity.

As expected, when the eldest daughter-in-law, Dalin, heard that Wei Sanniang was here to ask for money to renovate the house, she looked very unhappy and started talking about the financial difficulties at home.

As a result, after the head attendant came in from outside, Dalin's face suddenly became very ugly, and his face turned blue and white, and then white and blue.

She still didn't give up and called out "Uncle Ji".

The long-servant said, "This is what the old man meant."

Dalin said in defense: "...I am not disobeying father's order, it's just that there is not much cash in the family account right now, and the business needs money urgently. Why do you have to move out after getting married? Isn't it good for Yuanfeng to live at home? Why renovate the house? Isn't it a waste of money..."

Changsui was in a good mood and said kindly, "The shop won't need much money in the future. How can we say that money is in urgent need? Why don't you go and talk to the old lady about what the first lady said?"

Dalin's round face was full of colors.

In the end, no matter how reluctant he was, he still gritted his teeth and took out twenty taels of silver and let Mrs. Wei use it first.

Although it is not enough, it can solve the problem of not having enough money in the short term.

Mrs. Wei was very happy. She took the money and used part of it to find someone to renovate the house in the suburbs. She also used the other part to hire a matchmaker and prepare gifts, and asked the matchmaker to go to the Jiang family the next day to arrange the marriage.

The next day, when the matchmaker came to the door, the Jiang family was a straightforward family. When they heard the matchmaker reveal that the Liu family's house in the suburbs had begun to be renovated, the Jiang family knew that Wei Sanniang's previous promise to them that their room would be moved out in the future was true.

He agreed to the marriage immediately.

The two sides exchanged the Geng Tie and began to match their horoscopes.

At this point, the marriage can be said to be a done deal.

Mrs. Wei then packed her luggage with Yu Sanbao, Su Rouer and the others without any worries.

Yu Sanbao was not idle these two days. He took advantage of his stay in the state capital to buy a lot of goods. Before leaving, he found a caravan, paid some money and asked the caravan to transport the goods to Mapo County.

However, Mrs. Wei never expected that something bad would happen to the Liu family just before she left.

It turned out that the eldest wife of the Liu family secretly took the family's money and lent it out at a loan shark - generally speaking, this would not be a big problem, but the bad thing was that the eldest wife had several bad debts that could not be collected, so she asked her own family, the Lin family, to collect the debts. The Lin family was too pushy and wanted to sell the little daughter of that family to the kiln to pay off the debt. The little daughter was a strong-willed person and would rather die than obey, and she actually hit her head against the wall and died!

Since someone died, the matter naturally became a big deal.

The government quickly intervened and arrested the Lin family members involved, as well as the eldest wife of the first house who lent money at high interest, and put them in jail.

Old Mrs. Liu fainted.

The Liu family was in chaos.

When Mrs. Wei was about to leave, she heard people on the street talking about this matter. She was so shocked that she hurried to Liu's house again.

The Liu family was in chaos at the moment, and no one cared whether Mrs. Wei came in or not.

Mrs. Wei went straight to Wei Sanniang's yard.

Wei Sanniang was not in the yard, and the maid Bai Cao said in a serious tone: "The old man is ill, and the old lady has gone to take care of him."

Mrs. Wei had to leave first, allowing Yu Sanbao and the others to stay in the guest inn for another day.
