Chapter 14 Chapter 14 The style is wrong
As if frightened by Huo Xing, Huo San went into the room cursing. After a while, he rummaged through the room but couldn't find the money. Huo San went out and stared at Li Hongying fiercely. Li Hongying ignored him and cleared the dishes on the table.
Miao Ying was also very angry. Seeing Huo San leaving, he turned to look at Huo Xing and asked, "Can't we kick him out of the house?"
Li Hongying came out at this moment, and he looked at Miao Ying: "We can split the family."
Miao Ying quickly shook his head: "How can that be possible? If the family is divided, does that mean Huo Xing and I will go out alone, and then he will continue to torture you and Grandmother?"
Li Hongying smiled and said, "I was just kidding."
"That's not funny at all." Miao Ying curled his lips and pulled Huo Xing back to the room. "Is there no other way to deal with him?"
Huo Xing sighed: "He is the elder after all."
"What a bullshit elder! He's just a piece of shit." Miao Ying raged. "Wait till I get better, and see how I'll deal with him."
Then Miao Ying asked him who were the people drinking with Huo San, and Huo Xing told him one by one, they were just a few old hooligans in the village.
Miao Ying nodded and took note. He went to sleep in anger that night, but just like last night, he fell asleep next to Huo Xing. He was still a little afraid of the cold.
He didn't wake up naturally that morning, but was woken up by the noise outside. Surprisingly, Huo Xing didn't get up either. Miao Ying then reacted and lay all over Huo Xing. Huo Xing was like a stove emitting heat. His feet, which couldn't be warmed up after sleeping all night, were now warm and he didn't want to get up anymore.
But the noise outside was getting louder and louder, and there seemed to be some arguing. Huo Xing also woke up. He sat up immediately and put on his clothes and shoes without any delay. In comparison, Miao Ying was much lazier.
After Huo Xing put on his clothes, he stuffed Miao Ying's clothes into the quilt. Miao Ying waited for a while before putting on his clothes. He wore several layers of clothes, but without a down jacket, he felt cold no matter how many layers he wore.
He went out yawning and saw a stranger coming into the yard. He was holding Li Hongying's hand with pleading in his eyes.
Li Hongying seemed to be annoyed by her, and could hardly keep the smile on her face: "Really not!"
"I've heard it all. It's ten taels of silver, so what if you lend me two taels? Our family just needs these two taels of silver as the betrothal money." Aunt Zhang was a neighbor in their village, and she could talk to Li Hongying on weekdays.
Miao Ying knew what was going on after hearing this. He rolled his eyes and asked, "How much is the betrothal gift?"
Aunt Zhang looked at Miao Ying and said, "We are planning to give five taels of betrothal money. We are ready to pay three taels."
Miao Ying looked at Li Hongying, and Li Hongying shook her head at him.
"That's right, you can't afford it, so you have to borrow two taels." Miao Ying came closer to Aunt Zhang and said, "I have an idea for you."
Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up: "What?"
"You don't have to ask my family for money. We will give you the five taels of silver directly. The bride doesn't need to go to your house. She can come to my house directly for the wedding."
"You!" Aunt Zhang opened her eyes wide, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I don't have any middlemen making a profit from the price difference. All you have to do is get the girl in the bridal sedan and bring her to my house. I'll marry her!"
Aunt Zhang was so angry that she jumped up and down, then looked at Li Hongying: "Hongying, why don't you take care of this! A boy wants to get married."
Li Hongying forced an unnatural smile on her face: "I can't control this."
Miao Ying came up to her with a smug look on his face: "What's wrong with me marrying her? Can I take a concubine for my family? I'm not stupid. I can buy someone who can serve my mother-in-law and grandmother with five taels of silver. Who wouldn't praise me for being filial, virtuous and generous?"
Aunt Zhang wanted to say something to Li Hongying, but Miao Ying said, "It's no use pestering my mother. The money is all with me. No one can take it away from me unless I ask."
Aunt Zhang was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She pointed at Miao Ying's nose and wanted to curse him. Miao Ying just straightened his back to fight when a tall figure blocked his way.
Huo Xing was born tall, and he looked even scarier when his face had no expression. Aunt Zhang panicked and ran out of the Huo family.
Aunt Zhang then said, "How could the Zhang family be in trouble? When her brother got married, she asked for eight taels of betrothal money, and she used all of it to marry her son. She obviously has money, but she still wants to borrow from us."
Miao Ying understood in his heart that this was another opportunity to bring honor to his ancestors.
Li Hongying then looked at Miao Ying with some disapproval: "Why ruin your own reputation?"
Miao Ying was somewhat flattered that his mother actually cared about his reputation. He patted his chest nonchalantly and said, "What do other people think of me? It's enough for those close to me to know what I'm like. Besides, do I really have a good reputation?" He then looked at Huo Xing with some doubts, "Who knew you got paid for your injury? I bet someone will come to visit today."
Huo Xing shook his head. There were too many people on the day of the accident, and he didn't know how many people saw him injured, but the news of giving money must have been spread by the person who sent him to the clinic.
If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if water comes, we will block it with earth. If Miao can repel one, he can naturally repel ten.
As Miao Ying had expected, there were several families who came to borrow money. Miao Ying wanted to go out, but Li Hongying asked Huo Xing to take him out and take the money away.
Miao Ying kept looking back as he walked out the door. Huo Xing reached out and patted his shoulder: "It's okay."
Li Hongying sent them out to buy colored thread. Because they had been embroidering handkerchiefs, they were short of thread at home. There was a peddler family in the village. On weekdays, the two sons carried their loads to the neighboring village to sell things, and the old mother stayed at home to sell some ordinary things. The family lived a good life.
After buying several bundles of wool, Miao Ying looked at other things in their house. He was quite curious. There was a small shop in the village, but the variety of things sold was too limited. There were just sewing kits, combs, buttons and the like, nothing new.
When he reached the door of his house, Miao Ying heard a sound in the yard. He quickly pushed the door open and saw two people in the yard talking to Li Hongying. Miao Ying stood in front of Li Hongying without thinking.
At this moment, he noticed that the two people standing in front of him were looking at him strangely. He turned to look at Huo Xing, who leaned close to his ear and said, "Those are your mother and your eldest brother."
Miao Ying forgot to react for a moment. Is this his elder brother and his mother? They look different too?
He had seen his own reflection in the water; it was quite handsome, but why was his elder brother so ugly? Not very tall, but broad-shouldered and stocky, like a fat, long winter melon. But there was a scar at the corner of his eye, giving him a menacing look.
As for his mother, she was not fat, but a little dark, with slanted eyes, and she didn't look like someone who was easy to get along with. Miao Ying thought that the original owner must have grown up with the benefits of her parents, at least her slanted eyes had grown into phoenix eyes.
The situation is a bit awkward now.
Miao Dong on the side looked at Miao Ying in disbelief. Miao Ying didn't want to marry Huo Xing at first, but his mother said that his family gave a lot of betrothal gifts, and that his mother would not keep any of the betrothal money and gave it all to Miao Ying. She also said that Huo Xing was a good hunter and had a wealthy family, so he agreed to marry her.
After all, Miao Ying had already had a very bad reputation in their family at that time. It was rare that his brother Miao Dong had not yet married, so his parents were anxious to marry Miao Ying off.
After getting married, Miao Ying repeatedly returned home to complain that the Huo family was poor, that Huo Xing was a blockhead, that his parents-in-law and grandmother didn't like him, and that he wanted to divorce. His parents also felt that marrying Miao Ying off was a disservice to the Huo family, so after they got married, they not only let Miao Ying take back the five taels of silver as a betrothal gift, but also a lot of dowry, which was real food and other things.
How come the relationship between their family has become so good after just a few days of not seeing each other?
Li Hongying exchanged glances with her grandmother and gave them some time. When the in-laws came to visit, a meal had to be prepared, otherwise it would be unacceptable.
Huo Xing was arranged to go out and buy meat again. There was no butcher in their village, so they could only go to the neighboring village to buy meat, which was not close.
Miao Ying followed him out, and then handed the purse in his hand to Huo Xing: "Hide it well. I guess they came to ask me for money." He didn't notice Huo Xing's eyes, and after he finished speaking, he hurried back to the yard.
Miao Dong looked at Miao Ying and said in a rough voice, "What happened to you just now?"
Miao Ying naturally couldn't let them see the flaw: "Then I have to pretend."
Their mother, Liu Qiong, stared into Miao Ying's eyes and said, "It's said that your husband saved a noble lady and got ten taels of silver."
When Miao Yinghu heard the word "man", his body trembled.
Miao Ying sighed and squeezed out two tears: "There were ten taels of silver, but they wouldn't even let me look at it, for fear that I would have any thoughts about their money."
Miao Dong and Liu Qiong exchanged glances and looked at him suspiciously: "You still don't want him to touch you?"
Miao Ying:!!!
Can you say this in broad daylight?
"You're still thinking about that Chen Erwa?" Miao Dong was so disappointed. "What's so good about that bastard that you're still sticking around for him?! Back then, your whole family advised you to live a good life with Huo Xing. He has a good physique and your future life will not be bad. Why didn't you listen?"
Miao Ying's eyes were filled with surprise: "Are you here?"
Liu Qiong knocked on his head and said, "We're here to watch you! Don't try to take his money. Can't you just be at peace and live a stable life with him? Also, be careful with your family's money, and don't ask anyone to borrow from you."
Huh? This doesn't make sense. Aren't they supposed to be here to steal the money? Why are they here to tell him to keep it safe?
