Chapter 112-112. Well-matched family
Old man Tian was shocked: "Tie Zhu, why do you have such an idea? Where did you learn it? In our hometown, parents used the bride price money from their daughters to marry their sons, and some people used their daughters to exchange marriages for their sons." Our family has raised your sister for so many years, and now that she has grown up, we can't let her marry someone else for nothing, can we raise her for nothing?"

Tian Erya's heart was desolate, knowing that her father had always had such thoughts in her heart, and now that he said such words, it seemed that the relationship between father and daughter was even more contemptible.

Tie Zhu's face turned azure red: "My sister has already given too much for me and my family, I can't let her sacrifice again and ruin her life."

The old man Tian shook the clothes he took off angrily, seeing his son walk out the door without paying attention, and leaned in front of Tian Erya: "Erya, your brother is getting married tomorrow, you can't just watch when your brother and your sister-in-law arrange a wedding ceremony." , your sister-in-law doesn't even have any gold jewelry on her body. Others will gossip about our Laotian family. Your mother used to tell me that in the future, no matter how difficult life is, you should give your daughter-in-law a gold ring or a pair of gold earrings. Let the daughter-in-law feel sweet when they get married, and my family will have face in front of relatives and friends. Unfortunately, neither father nor your brother has the ability, and your mother's long-cherished wish cannot be fulfilled, so I have to rely on you to exchange some gift money."

Tian Erya turned her head away and closed her eyes. Her father's mentality of killing her made her feel like stabbing her with a knife.

Old man Tian wanted to slap her twice to force her to submit, but he had already failed in forcibly kidnapping her before, so he might have no chance of winning if he tried again.He often held back his anger and made a pitiful and bitter look: "Erya, you will marry someone sooner or later, and you will live a life if you marry anyone. I will promise the fisherman's marriage and give you some dowry money." Brother, do you want to organize the wedding first?"

Tian Erya knew that he was playing tricks, and angrily inserted the scissors heavily on the chopping board, and walked quickly outside.

"Hey! Why did I give birth to such a disobedient girl like you? Other girls are very cute and smart, and they can do whatever their parents say. Dad is still asking for your opinion. Whose father and mother are asking for your girl's opinion? What are they betrothing her to?" What is a person?"

Tian Erya turned her head suddenly: "Father, do you want me to treat you like I treat Liu Matchmaker?"

Old Man Tian opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and immediately walked to the backyard dejectedly, this girl is not easy to deal with.

Impatient, Tian Erya ran to the river.In a place where no one was around, she buried her head in front of her knees and wept silently.Why doesn't she want to buy a gold jewelry for her future sister-in-law?But the jade bracelet was lost, and she didn't have that much money, so she couldn't sell her body to make her parents realize their dreams?When she was sad, suddenly, her back hurt, and she felt that a stone was thrown on her body, and she looked around to find the person who threw the stone.When she saw Wu Xiangrong, Zheng Yuansheng and others standing on the other side of the river, she stepped back in embarrassment.

When she ran out of the house, she was wearing work clothes, patched and stained, looking a bit scruffy.She was especially afraid that Zheng Yuansheng's friends would see her like this, and worried about embarrassing Zheng Yuansheng.

Zheng Yuansheng did not expect to see Tian Erya here either.He and his classmates went to the provincial capital to listen to the forum of retired officials, and met Wu Xiangrong there.We are all from the same county, and when we come back, we go together together.On the way they took a shortcut, he saw a figure by the river who looked like Tian Erya from a distance, and when he got closer, it was indeed her, and a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing Tian Erya's blank search, Wu Xiangrong snorted coldly: "You are still so stupid."

Tian Er pursed his lips, turned his head away, and didn't want to talk to him.

"I heard that you recently had a blind date with an old fortune-teller who is over fifty years old. Why didn't the old man take a fancy to you, and you are crying here sadly?"

The others let out low laughter.

Tian Erya frowned coldly: "What's none of your business?"

Wu Xiangrong sneered: "With your appearance, you are already ugly. If your personality becomes so annoying, you will not be able to marry in this life."

"If you don't get married, it has nothing to do with you." Tian Erya blushed, peeking at Zheng Yuansheng from the corner of her eye, for fear of seeing a look of contempt on his face.

Zheng Yuansheng frowned slightly, looking at the river.

"Hmph! If you are really an old girl all your life, you will attribute the reason to my sister in all likelihood. This young master has thought of a way for you to kill two birds with one stone." Wu Xiangrong put his hands behind his back, looking like he was taking a walk in the courtyard, " The owner of Maji Knives and Scissors Shop in the provincial capital is my friend. Hearing about your skill in forging scissors for the Armed Forces Academy, he is willing to spend five taels of silver every month to hire you as the master chef of their shop. They also hired many If you are a famous blacksmith, you can also find a husband who suits you among those blacksmiths. It is a good match for a blacksmith to find a blacksmith. If you marry someone with skills, you can also earn some money, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?"

"Five taels of silver?" Tian Erya was stunned on the spot, "The highest master in the county town is only three taels of silver, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"What did I lie to you for? If you make up your mind, you can come to Wu's house to find me at any time. I will take you to Maji Knife and Cutting Shop. Their house can provide accommodation." After Wu Xiangrong finished speaking, he found his companions and went to Walk on the road.

Tian Erya calculated with her fingers that if she earns five taels of silver every year, she can earn 12 taels of silver for 60 months a year.In a few years, she will have the money to buy a shop of her own, and she is excited all over her body.

"Are you so happy?" A deep voice sounded from behind.

Tian Erya turned around and saw Zheng Yuansheng standing in front of her: "Fourth Young Master, didn't you leave?"

"Walking with them for a while, I remembered something and came back again." Zheng Yuansheng took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it over.

"What a beautiful purse." Tian Erya looked at the exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered with gold thread on the silk, and rubbed her hands on the clothes before carefully stroking them.

Zheng Yuansheng reminded: "Open it and take a look."

Tian Erya obeyed, untied the rope of the bag, took out a golden apple as big as a button, and looked at Zheng Yuansheng in surprise.

"When I saw it in the province, I thought it was very cute, so I bought it for you. I originally wanted to buy you a gold bracelet, but I thought it would be inconvenient for you to wear a gold bracelet when you were forging, so I changed it for you." I got this gold necklace. Do you like it?"

"like."

Zheng Yuansheng observed his words and expressions: "Your expression shows that you are not happy."

"No."

"I hope you will jump for joy when you receive the golden apple. I've been thinking about your surprise face all the way. But, it looks like you don't like it."

Tian Erya heard his disappointment and quickly shook her head: "No, I really like it. I was just thinking that my brother and sister-in-law are getting married, and my sister-in-law doesn't have a piece of gold jewelry on her body yet. I received it from you before I got engaged. My golden apple, the gap is huge."
