wind and rain scissors shop

Chapter 98-98.
Tie Zhu hung his head and didn't say a word.

Tian Erya suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and grabbed the old man Tian who was chatting with others: "Father, what does Cuicui have to do with my brother?"

Old man Tian patted her on the shoulder heavily: "Can you call Cuicui? She is your future sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law?" Tian Erya slowly recalled: "Liu Matchmaker sold her natal brother's house to our family, and her daughter wants to marry my brother?"

"Correct."

"When did Brother and Cuicui get married? Why didn't I know?"

Old man Tian gave her a blank look, and pulled her aside: "You've been staying at Zheng's house every day, what do you know? Your brother and Cui Cui have seen each other for a long time. Because our family has no money, Matchmaker Liu wants to find someone for Cui Cui. A person with a family background has dragged it until now."

Tian Erya always felt that things were a little weird: "Father, where will I live after Cui Cui married my brother?"

Old man Tian pointed to the top of the shop: "There is also a loft inside, which can accommodate people. You will live there in the future."

Tian Erya raised her head: "Just now I heard from Matchmaker Liu's brother that the above is a half-foot warehouse for storing sundries, how can people live there?"

"Why can't people live in it? I've seen it all. The space inside is very large, and there are windows on it. The ventilation is bright, and it's very good."

Tian Erya watched her father throw down a sentence, and then chatted with others with a smile, and walked angrily to the attic. The stairs made a creaking sound, and when she climbed to the end, she found that the height inside was less than three feet. Waist, a straw mat and her quilt were spread on the floor.She suddenly felt chilled. It turned out that her brother and father had planned to let her live here a long time ago.I paid for it myself, but I was sent to a cramped small storage room.She went down angrily, and asked Old Man Tian: "How can people live in the attic if you can't even stand upright?"

Old man Tian was laughing and laughing with Matchmaker Liu, when his daughter interrupted him, he was very angry: "You are only living there temporarily. You are a daughter's family, and you will get married sooner or later, and your mother's house is just a temporary place to rest, why pay so much attention to it?"

"I bought this residence with the money I sold myself, so it should belong to me. How to allocate the rooms is up to me."

"Stop talking nonsense,"

"Brother, don't be angry, don't say a few words." Liu Matchmaker took Tian Erya's arm, "What is the money for selling your body? Erya, don't talk nonsense, what did you sell yourself for? After Miss Wu came back, she proved that You and the fourth young master Zheng Yun are innocent, and they only gave you 100 taels of silver because of pity on you. These days, when you are in the Zheng family, your brother and your father have suffered a lot from others talking behind their backs because of you. Wronged, they should have their share of the money."

Tian Erya thought that she had fallen into their trap, and she was annoyed: "This is my house, so mind your own business."

Old Man Tian spat: "Shut up, the bigger you are, the more hypocritical you are. Matchmaker Liu, please tell him about marriage quickly and marry her, the farther away the better."

Tian Erya turned around and left, climbed up to the attic, weeping.

Tie Zhu had been paying attention to her movements, and followed her up: "Erya, don't be sad."

"Brother, let me ask you, whose name is written on the contract?"

Tie Zhu faltered, his eyes wandering around.

"Is it your name? Matchmaker Liu is your future father-in-law, and she dragged you away from the shed just to make you sign the contract and put your fingerprint on it?" Tian Erya guessed in her heart and turned her head away to ignore her brother. A little embarrassing.

The matchmaker called from the yard: "Tie Zhu, come out quickly, Brother Wang, I brought you a broom for moving to a new house. Come here and thank him well."

"Hey! It's here."

Tian Erya wiped away her tears and crawled to make the bed.In a day's work, more than 100 taels of silver were spent, and the shop she bought did not belong to her. She became a redundant member of the family, and she could rely on herself after all.

After the old man Tian settled the matter of the residence, he immediately began to prepare for his son's marriage non-stop.He urged Tian Erya: "Now, there is not a penny left at home, you quickly take out that jade bracelet and exchange some silver for your brother's wedding."

Tian Erya turned her head angrily: "Don't even think about it, don't think about the bracelet anymore. You said that half of the store you bought is mine, where is the other half?"

"You girl, how can any unmarried girl come out to show her face and do business?"

"I don't care. If your store doesn't have half of mine, return the silver to me"

"The money was given to Matchmaker Liu's brother, it's gone."

Tian Erya took the bamboo basket and swept all the kitchen knives, sickles and other objects on the table into the basket.

Tie Zhu looked at her in surprise.

Old man Tian was surprised: "What are you doing? This is an iron tool that is going to be sold tomorrow, put it back quickly."

Tian Erya lifted the bamboo basket behind her: "If I can't do business, you don't even want to do it. From now on, I will put away any iron tools you and my brother make, and sell them privately until I earn enough money to buy a house." .”

"You unreasonable and stubborn girl, you have been the commander-in-chief for a few days, and you think you are great, so don't try to act wild again." Old man Tian stretched out his hand to hit her.

Tian Erya grabbed Dad's hand and said, "Father, if you don't give me a part of the store, we'll go to the county government to make a complaint today. Why do you buy a house with my money, and you and my brother share one room? The storage room where I can’t sleep straight up. You guys are playing tricks on me. I won’t suffer from this dumb loss, so I’ll just sell this shop and buy a new one.”

Old man Tian trembled angrily: "You girl is really talented, how could you say such things to your father?"

"You still know that you are my father? You colluded with Matchmaker Liu to steal my money, leaving me with no room to live in, no shop to sell scissors, and no way for my daughter to survive."

"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"If you don't want me to talk nonsense, just divide this store into two, and I'll take half. Otherwise, you don't want Ansheng either."

Tie Zhu looked at his younger sister in surprise. After staying in the Zheng family for a while, she seemed to be different, not as resigned as before.

Old man Tian gritted his teeth angrily: "Okay, I'll give you a portion. After two days, I'll measure the size and divide."

Tian Erya insisted: "No, it must be divided now. Let's divide it with screens, and I have to have my own independent space. Otherwise, the store will be closed, and we will start business after we divide it."

"You unfilial girl." Old man Tian was frantic and helpless, and directly used iron tongs to draw a few meters on the ground, "We still have to put an iron furnace in the shop to forge iron, so I can only divide this area for you, enough You put scissors on a table. If you really want to continue to make trouble, people outside will say that you don’t understand filial piety, that you are against your elders, and your reputation will not be good. Do you accept it or not?”

Tian Erya had no choice but to agree.

When old man Tian saw the mention of filial piety, she would give in, and immediately stretched out her hand: "The family can't get rid of the pot, give me the jade bracelet, and I'll pawn some silver."

"No, if there is no food, I will starve all night."

"You smelly girl, do you want your father to starve to death?"

"Just hungry all night. Tomorrow you will go to work in the Armed Forces Academy, where you will take care of the food."

What Tian Erya didn't expect was that the old man secretly climbed to the attic to snatch the jade bracelet while she was asleep.She woke up to the sound.

Old man Tian had already got the jade bracelet in his hand, before she could react, he picked it up and ran out of the shop.

Tian Erya thumped the wall angrily.
