Chapter 96 - 96. Fighting for Silver
Father Tian hurried up to Erya Tian, ​​trying to grab her burden, but she dodged him, and said resentfully: "The Zheng family is really cruel, they kicked you out, and they didn't even send a car to take you home .”

Tian Erya rolled her eyes: "Your news is so fast, how did you know that I was kicked out of Zheng's house?"

"I heard from Matchmaker Liu." Father Tian lowered his voice, "You asked Miss Wu for 100 taels of silver and a jade bracelet worth more than 50 taels of silver, didn't you?"

"No." Tian Erya replied stiffly.

"Stop lying to me!" Father Tian saw that she was about to turn into the opposite commercial street, and grabbed her by force, "If you don't take out all the money, you can't go anywhere. Tie Zhu, put your sister's burden on your back, Save her from getting tired."

"I'm not tired, I carry it by myself."

Father Zheng kicked the iron pillar: "I told you to take it, why don't you do it?"

Tie Zhu lowered his head and remained silent.

Father Zheng had nothing to do with him, he stared at Tian Erya: "You go home with me now. Don't tear it up on the street so it's ugly."

Tian Erya knows her father's virtues well, as long as he sees the money, she can ignore the trouble. She also wanted to save face and marry Zheng Yuansheng, so she had to go home with him.

As soon as he arrived at the blacksmith's shed, Father Tian closed the simple door, put the burdens on top of the wooden boards and opened them layer by layer. When he saw the white silver taels, his hands trembled: "I have never seen so much money in my life!"

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Tian Erya snatched more than half of the silver ingots and stuffed them into her bosom: "Father, this is my selling money. I will give you part of it. I have done my best."

Father Tian came to his senses and rushed over to grab it.Although he was considered young and vigorous, how could he beat Tian Erya, who was as strong as a cow, and after a few rounds, Tian Erya sat on the ground with the butt above his head.He looked at his son who was squatting on the side, and shouted angrily: "Tie Zhu, grab all the silver from your sister."

Tie Zhu's voice was like a mosquito: "Father, that's my sister's prostitution money."

"You trash!" Father Tian stood up and kicked him, seeing Tian Erya holding Yinzi tightly, looking at him like an enemy, he was terrified.He knew how strong Tian Erya, who had been forging irons with him since childhood, was, if she really wanted to get tough, her son Tie Zhu might not have the upper hand.

Tian Erya quickly collected the money, which was her reliance.It's hard to say whether Zheng Yuansheng will be able to pass the exam, even if he does, it will not be easy for him to get his father's consent to marry her, and it will probably take a long time.Furthermore, if Zheng Yuansheng fails the ranking this time, she will wait for him again.Her natal family will not allow her to live for a long time, so she has to find another place to live.

Father Tian thought about it, and could only play the emotional card with his daughter, so he trembled: "Er, it's not that father insists on your money. It's your brother who has to get married! He is in his 20s, as old as him The young man married a wife long ago, and the children can make soy sauce. However, your brother is still a bachelor. Our family must buy some things so that your brother can marry a wife!"

Tian Erya hesitated, and took out 20 taels of silver: "These silver can buy two and a half tile-roofed houses."

Father Tian took a look at Yinzi: "Girl, this place is prosperous, and the prices are no better than our hometown, things are more expensive!"

Tian Erya thought about it and added another ten taels.

Father Tian saw that there was something going on, and hurriedly said: "Girl, the shed here won't last long, the government said, it has to be demolished. Your father and I are also at this age, so we can't always move around. If your brother gets married, There must be a stable place to live and a place to forge iron."

Tian Erya was vigilant: "What do you want?"

"The house on Buffalo Street is for sale. The front one can be used as a blacksmith shop, and the back two houses can accommodate people. The price is 120 taels."

"That much?" She gasped and shook her head vigorously: "I can't give you all the money, don't even think about it."

"Erya, father please..."

"No. I have to keep some for myself, it's impossible to give them all to you."

Father Tian was annoyed: "What do you want money for? A girl can receive a bride price when she gets married, and she doesn't need to spend a penny when she goes to her husband's house. I'll make it up for you. Butcher Zhang's son is also old enough to marry. If you marry him, don't worry about it." Worry about no meat to eat."

Tian Erya was looking for a needle and thread to sew a bag, thinking about hiding all the money on her body, when he heard him say this, she raised her eyelids: "I won't marry someone else, so don't arrange marriage for me."

"If you don't marry someone else, who do you want to marry?"

"I have been Zheng Yuansheng's wife for more than half a year, and I still have to marry him."

Father Tian spat: "You're dreaming! The fourth young master of the Zheng family will still want you. How can he think of you, a country girl, who is guarding Miss Wu who is as beautiful as a flower and jade?"

Tian Erya ignored his sarcasm, raised her head and looked at him seriously: "Father, let me make it clear to you now that I will not agree to the marriage you proposed for me. If you dare to force me, tie me up to marry someone else!" , After I got away, I stabbed you with scissors."

Father Tian held his breath: "If you don't marry, don't marry, who will fall in love with you. Give me 100 taels of silver and the jade bracelet."

"It's only 30 taels. If you don't want it, I'll take it." Tian Erya put the 30 taels of silver in front of him, and turned around to sew a cloth pocket.

Father Tian was afraid that the 30 taels of silver would be gone, so he quickly put the money away.

Tie Zhu looked at his sister, then at his father: "Father, it's almost done. My sister has her plans."

Father Tian slapped him on the back of the head: "With this little money, do you still want to marry a wife here?"

Tie Zhu gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "I won't marry a wife anymore, at worst, I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life."

Father Tian was anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't marry a daughter-in-law, how can you pass on the family line? How can our Tian family continue the incense?"

"If it can't be continued, it can't be continued. Who made our family poor! I have no ability." Tie Zhu said firmly.

"You, you brat."

Tie Zhu spoke sincerely: "Father, this money is in exchange for my sister's innocence. Her life's happiness may be ruined. This money is her pension money. I cannot selfishly use this money to marry a wife and have children."

Tian Erya's heart was sour when she heard that, she knew her brother's heart was pure, and she didn't want to rely on her sister's gift to marry a wife.He was busy farming and blacksmithing day and night, sparing no effort, just wanting to save more money, but unfortunately, his luck was bad and his hard work failed to make him rich.The money he earns by working hard can only maintain food and clothing, and it becomes a luxury to marry a wife.She pondered for a moment, took out silver ingots from her bosom, counted and counted, took out three and pushed them over.

Tie Zhu was shocked: "Sister?"

"Brother, I originally wanted to save the money to buy a shop and sell scissors. But, you are indeed at the age of marrying a wife, so I will use it for you first. You can use the money to buy a small courtyard with a shop, enough for you and our father to live in." , and can forge iron, I can just rent a shop to do business."

Father Tian was excited, and quickly put away the money: "Erya is right, it is a big deal for you to marry a wife."

Tie Zhu's eyes were moist.

Old man Tian said happily: "Look at the silver, I will come as soon as I go."

"Father, where are you going?"
