Chapter 133 Lian Lao Si only wants a wife
Zhang's face turned pale as paper, and she was so frightened that she could hardly hold the broom in her hand.
“You dare.”
Lian Lao Si was originally a scoundrel who was as tough as a chopping block. It was too easy for him to control Zhang, who was stupid, timid and cowardly.
"Hehe, let's see if I dare. I'm not you, you can't take responsibility for what you do."
"Even if this matter is exposed, what good will it do you?"
"Can't I just give up steaming buns to save face? Who told you not to keep your word? Give me a wife, and I promise not to tell anyone about this. Otherwise, there will be no end to it. Anyway, I'm not the one who broke my word, so what do I have to be afraid of?"
Zhang was so angry and scared that she almost cried. She was so greedy and stingy that she even endured the pain and offered to compensate Lian Lao Si with silver, just asking that the matter be over quickly.
Lian Lao Si was determined not to take money but to have a wife.
What did he need money for? He would spend it all. He was only thirty years old, and his family was so poor that it was impossible for him to marry again. But he was a man, and he wanted a wife.
Besides, the Liang family is quite well-off. Now that he has a wife, will he still worry about starving to death in the future?
This is the only chance. If you miss it, you will never have a wife in your life.
No matter what Zhang said, Lian Lao Si just refused to give in.
Zhang was so angry that she almost cried: "Do you think I don't want that little bitch to get out of here right away? She was born to bring bad luck to our family. We can't get well with her around, but now I can't do anything about her. What do you want me to do? What can I do?"
Lian Lao Si glanced at Zhang, a look that was filled with disdain. He had made his point so clear, so what was going on in Zhang's mind? She was still spinning in circles.
Fine, fine, you really want to force him to explain himself, right? Then he should explain himself clearly.
"I don't necessarily want that Xu. I just want a wife, and it doesn't matter if she's not Xu."
Zhang was stunned, feeling even more helpless, as if the sky was falling. "If it's not Xu, then who else could it be? There's no one else! Where can I find a matchmaker for you?"
Even for someone like the fourth child, if she dared to go to someone's house to propose marriage, she would be beaten out with a stick.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew it couldn't be done.
Lian Lao Si smiled meaningfully: "Aunt, don't you have a daughter?"
Zhang's eyes widened, a chill running down her spine. "What did you say, Cui'er?"
"No, no!"
Cui'er was only sixteen. She had been hoping to find a good family for her daughter after her youngest son passed the imperial examination. Both mother and daughter spoke of this with great pride, and they were just looking for a good family, at least to marry a scholar. After all, her daughter Mingxiang had already passed the imperial examination at such a young age, and his future was immeasurable. What was wrong with his sister marrying a scholar? He hadn't even mentioned that his wife's second brother would have to wait another two or three years. If he did pass the imperial examination, he would have to marry a daughter of a small landowner.
Lian Laosi? Who the hell is Lian Laosi?
How could her Cui'er marry Lian Laosi?
Lian Lao Si sneered, "If you don't want to, then there's no point in discussing this. I'm going to make this public! I'm not afraid of losing face anyway."
"Don't!"
"snort!"
When Lian Lao Si left, he was very proud, smiling, and walking briskly, obviously getting what he wanted.
Zhang was in a daze. She looked at her thumb which had a little blood stain on it and she squatted on the ground, covering her face and crying sadly.
That night, the whole family found out about this. Liang Cui'er burst into tears and made a scene. She would never marry, even if she died! She had secretly taken a look at Lian Lao Si a few days ago out of curiosity. She would never marry that kind of person.
Uncle Liang was also very angry. He pointed at Zhang and cursed her. He couldn't help but kick her twice.
Zhang herself started crying, "What can I do? He's just a scoundrel, a piece of asshole. He's barefoot and has no fear for those who wear shoes. What can I do? If I don't agree and he makes a scene, what will happen to Mingxiang? I can't ruin Mingxiang, wuwuwu."
Liang Cui'er complained bitterly: "So you want to destroy me? Are you still my mother?"
"I don't want to, either, Tweety, Tweety!"
"I don't care! I won't marry, I won't marry!"
The eldest branch of the Liang family suffered the consequences of their own actions and was in chaos.
At this time, Xu Zhichun had just returned from Liang Lizheng's house and had already discussed who to ask for help. Bricks, sand, stone, wood, etc. would start being transported tomorrow and construction would begin two days later.
In the past few days, she has gradually packed up everything that needed to be cleaned up at home. Aunt Zhu'er and her husband, Xiaoyan and her husband, and Chunfen all helped to move things to Aunt Zhu'er's house.
While the construction starts here, I will temporarily make konjac tofu, konjac knots and ice jelly at Aunt Zhuer's house.
At night, I temporarily stayed at Liang Lizheng's house.
Chunfen doesn't need to accompany her for the time being, just go back to your own home.
There were only Zhu'er and Qi Tian at her aunt's house. Although there was a room, it was not convenient for Xu Zhichun to stay overnight.
Xu Zhichun wanted to build the new house as quickly as possible, so he hired more people, paying them 30 cents a day without food. He hired 26 people in total, and the house could be completed in at most ten days.
Thinking that he would soon have a new house to live in, the shadow of the previous incident gradually dissipated, and Xu Zhichun was filled with joy and cheer.
Building a new house and a big yard according to your own wishes, and then decorating the new house bit by bit according to your own wishes is indeed a happy thing.
But my good mood was dampened that night.
Xu Zhichun and Chunfen were chatting in the yard to enjoy the cool air. When they were about to go to bed, Liang Cuier rushed in crying.
"Cousin! Cousin! Wuuuuuuu"
Liang Cui'er cried like a tearful person, and knelt down in front of Xu Zhichun: "Cousin, please save me, wuwuwu"
Xu Zhichun was startled, and Liang Chunfen also opened his eyes wide in confusion.
"Cui'er, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, get up and talk."
"No, cousin, I won't get up unless you agree."
Xu Zhichun's eyes darkened slightly. He hated these words that seemed to show weakness but were actually coercive.
"Spring Equinox, help her up."
"Oh, okay."
Liang Chunfen stepped forward to support Liang Cuier.
Since Sister Zhichun said to help Liang Cuier up, she must be helped up even if she can't.
Liang Chunfen was so strong that she "supported" Liang Cuier like she was supporting a chick. No matter how much Liang Cuier fell, it was useless and she was supported up involuntarily by her.
She had no choice but to give up and continued crying like a tearful person to Xu Zhichun.
Neither Xu Zhichun nor the original owner had any friendship with Liang Cui'er. The original owner was very tactful and kept his distance from his uncle's family, and Xu Zhichun was naturally the same.
Although Liang Cui'er called her "cousin", they were just friends who greeted each other on the street.
Late at night, Xu Zhichun hesitated and did not lead Liang Cui'er into the house.
What if I can’t explain it clearly?
She didn't want to get involved with anyone in that family, not even the seemingly harmless Liang Cui'er.
"What's going on? Stop crying and tell me. I don't know what's going on."
