Chapter 143 If you make her angry, she will slap you
How could the dumbfounded Lian family let this go?
Especially the fourth brother, he was so angry that he almost went to heaven.
No man can bear the fact that the wife he finally married is gone.
Unfortunately, things have developed to this point, and it is no longer up to Lian Lao Si, an old widower who is desperately wanting a wife, to decide. It is obvious that it was the Lian family themselves who messed up the matter, so can they blame others?
If they hadn't been mean to their family members, how could these things happen?
Even if he wanted to blame someone, he had to blame his own family.
Besides, both sides are getting a little too angry and are on the verge of fighting. Who would be willing to listen to him?
Lian Lao Si was angry and resentful, but he had no choice but to ask for a huge sum of money. He wanted the five taels of silver as a betrothal gift that he "gave", and also wanted the Liang family to give him two taels of silver as compensation.
Uncle Liang and Zhang were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
What's the five taels betrothal gift? You didn't even plucking a hair from the fourth brother.
Their family said that on purpose to save face.
Now, even the fourth brother is asking for this money that doesn't even exist.
Lord of Heaven
Is this still a human being?
Finally, Uncle Liang and Zhang had no choice but to give six taels of silver, at least they managed to rescue one tael.
Now that the Lian family has received the silver, they are not allowed to talk nonsense outside, otherwise they can’t blame the Liangjia Village for coming to their door to attack them.
People in Liangjia Village might not know, but who among the Lian family members doesn't know that Lian Lao Si is someone who can afford five taels of silver as a betrothal gift?
What happened to the money is anyone's guess.
The wedding farce disappeared with the departure of the Lian family.
Everyone in Liangjia Village gradually dispersed.
Today's scene is really lively.
Zhang glared at Xu Zhichun resentfully. It was all her fault. If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so much trouble. From now on, if there's anything happening at home, she won't be asked to come no matter what!
Behind closed doors, Uncle Liang said coldly, "Stop crying. Just stay home for now and find a suitable family to marry in the future. Even a widow can remarry, so Cui'er's case is nothing."
Zhang was still crying. She could remarry, but it was not easy to find a good one. There were many people like Lian Lao Si, but could she marry him?
The more she thought about it, the more she hated Xu Zhichun.
After all this commotion, it was almost time for lunch, so Xu Zhichun called Chunfen to have lunch together.
Fortunately, she was there today. She quickly calmed the situation with her strength and did not give Lian Gu any chance to perform.
Otherwise, if Lian Gu really started pushing and pulling with Aunt Liang and the others, the women from the Lian family would definitely come up and pull them apart, and it might turn into a group fight.
Although the home team is in this village and the villagers will definitely not suffer any losses, fists and feet have no eyes, so someone might get hurt.
You should feel guilty about the troubles you caused.
I was so angry at that time, and I really don't regret giving that slap.
Chunfen is a great girl. I'd better take her with me when I go out more often. It will save me a lot of trouble.
Xu Zhichun looked at Chunfen who was happily lighting the fire in the stove, and his heart softened. He curled his lips and smiled.
Make some delicious food at noon to reward her and thank her for preventing a big fight from happening.
Xu Zhichun was planning to make a bowl of steamed pork with rice flour, using the rice flour directly from the warehouse, and then make a dish of twice-cooked pork, a fried egg and wolfberry sprout soup, and a plate of stir-fried lettuce.
Chunfen was simple-minded and innocent, so Xu Zhichun wasn't shy about taking out some delicious food from the warehouse in front of her. As long as it wasn't too outrageous, it was fine.
The steamed pork with rice flour is soft, glutinous and chewy, the twice-cooked pork is fragrant and goes well with rice, the soft-boiled egg is paired with wolfberry sprouts, and the stir-fried lettuce is refreshing and fresh. The Spring Equinox is so delicious that I am tired of saying the word "delicious".
Seeing her eating made her very hungry, Xu Zhichun smiled and persuaded her to eat, and he himself could not help but eat an extra bowl.
The housewarming banquet still had to be held, so the date was quickly set and six tables were set up with meat and vegetables. It was a bit more sumptuous than an ordinary farm banquet, but not too eye-catching.
After all, her family had just built such a big new house. If the housewarming banquet was too shabby, it would not seem serious, nor could it be too grand with too much fish and meat, which would attract attention.
It was a little better than usual, with an extra dish, and everyone was very happy.
After the housewarming banquet, the well digger came to the house early the next morning.
This incident inevitably caused a sensation in the village and attracted many people to watch the fun.
When they heard the master say that it would cost seven taels of silver, they were all shocked.
Some people originally wanted to "persuade" Xu Zhichun to dig a well outside the yard so that everyone could benefit from it, but they didn't dare to say anything after hearing this.
He spent seven taels of silver, so he deserves to enjoy a good life in the future. Who would have the nerve to take advantage of it for no reason?
Liang Liu and his wife were used to being lazy. They lived not far from Xu Zhichun's house. Liang Liu's wife was also watching the fun. She rolled her eyes and said to Aunt Zhu'er with a smile, "Sister Zhu'er, your family will benefit from this in the future. You and Zhichun are such good friends, and your two families are so close. You don't have to walk so far to fetch water in the future. You can just go directly to Zhichun's house to fetch it."
The villagers who were watching the fun laughed, and some of them agreed with him.
Especially since Xu Zhichun's house was closer than the spring where the villagers fetched water every day, everyone could hear the hidden meaning behind Liang Liu's wife's words.
We are all from the same village. If Xu Zhichun asks Aunt Zhu'er's family to come and fetch water, there is no reason for him not to allow other neighbors to do so.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be discriminatory and targeted treatment?
Carrying water is strenuous work and a long-lasting one. No one would resist the opportunity to save energy.
How could Aunt Zhuer be willing to be used as an excuse? She smiled and said softly and gently, "No, Zhichun paid for the well, and it's in the yard. Even if our two families live close to each other, can we go in and out of other people's yards every day to take advantage of this? We can't do such a thing. We have been carrying water for so many years! But I am thinking of saving money. One day, three or four families living nearby can join forces to dig a well. That would be great."
Liang Liu's wife smiled awkwardly: "You two have a good relationship, but you're still so distant. Maybe Zhichun would be happy about it? Zhichun, right?"
"Then I don't have the face to do that!"
Aunt Zhu'er was a little unhappy.
Not only did he force her, he also forced Zhichun.
Xu Zhichun smiled gratefully at Aunt Zhu'er and said, "If Aunt Zhu'er doesn't become estranged from me because of this, then I'm relieved!"
Aunt Zhu'er: "How could that be? I'm not unreasonable."
Things had come to this point, and Liang Liu's wife had nothing to say. The people around her also spoke up for Xu Zhichun and the matter was over.
Everyone has finally understood that Madam Xu is not someone to be trifled with. If you make her angry, she will slap you. Why do you have to take advantage of her?
It’s better to say something fair and sell it well.
That's right, her brother-in-law has a promising future. Apart from anything else, a scholar must be a stable person. With such a backer, what else can she be afraid of?
