Hearing Chi Yu agree so readily, Song Chongjin was overjoyed and quickly took out the silver.
He feared that if he was even a step too slow, the innocent bystanders might regret it.
"Okay, I will!"
After receiving the money, Chi Yu said "wait" again and went to the main room to call for help.
When Chi Dahu followed her to the cellar, she filled the cellar with grain.
As for the key, she will give it to her second and third sisters-in-law later.
After Chi Yu gave the potatoes and sweet potatoes to Song Chongjin, she said:
"Don't tell anyone about selling these to you, after all, there aren't many items."
"By the way, I heard that you gave Lord Fang a lot of money for An'an's marriage?"
Song Chongjin and Su Yu both looked surprised, then exchanged a glance before asking Chi Yu:
"What makes you say that, young lady?"
Besides the couple, only Lord Fang knew about this, and he gave it to them privately during his trip to the county town.
How did you come to know about the fish in the pond?
After all, it was the decree issued by the current emperor, and since they had already settled here, they naturally had to follow the rules.
However, An'an is a woman after all, and because of her background, he did not want her to get married if he could not find a good husband, and he did not want her to be beaten in public.
He had three hundred taels of silver with him when he went down the mountain.
When I was sending people to build the outer city wall, I took a stroll around the area.
Afterwards, he went into the city with Chi Kang and carefully observed the living conditions of the people in the county town.
Then we came to the conclusion that the government was short of money!
Whether it was to leave more money for Fang Shizhong or to resolve the issue of his niece being beaten, it was all for the sake of that.
He seized an opportunity and first played the victim to Fang Shizhong.
Then they talked about how great the county was, and how much effort Fang Shizhong had put into it, etc.
After much beating around the bush, the final result was that they expressed their willingness to donate two hundred taels of silver to Anping County for construction.
At the same time, we hope that Mr. Fang can turn a blind eye and change An'an's registered age to be one year younger.
Anyone who is twelve years old is not within the scope of marriage requirements stipulated by the imperial court.
In this way, An'an will not be beaten, and Lord Fang will not violate the regulations of the imperial court.
Of course, when he registered in Xiechi'ao, he did consider changing An'an's age to be younger.
However, Fang Shizhong was meticulous in his work and ordered everyone to produce their household registration books if they had them, and those without household registration books needed to provide a guarantee from five households.
If their information is found to be false, the other families will be implicated.
When they were fleeing famine, they were unaware that the imperial court had ordered them to get married.
Therefore, quite a few people know that An'an is thirteen years old.
Having no other choice, he could only resolve the matter privately with Fang Shizhong after descending the mountain.
How did Chi Yu find out about such a secret matter?
Fang Shizhong couldn't possibly announce this matter publicly, could he?
Seeing that they neither admitted nor denied it, Chi Yu smiled without saying a word.
As long as we make sure that little girl An'an doesn't get beaten up, it doesn't matter where she got the news from.
"It's getting late, Village Chief Song and your wife take care."
I have something to do at home, so I won't be able to deliver it!
Chi Yu said, waving to them.
After the couple left, looking thoughtful, she immediately closed the door.
Chi Sen, who had been sitting in the main room, couldn't sit still any longer and came out.
"Auntie!"
The money for Chisen's decision not to marry had already been paid.
