Chapter 77
As soon as Ning Zhou's words came out, Ning Bilian, who had been eavesdropping at the door, changed her expression.

She opened the door and rushed out with an excited expression: "Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about? I just got engaged to Brother Han Feng yesterday, how could I promise to this scoundrel?"

"A rogue?" Cui Fa looked at her delicate face, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "I will teach you what a real rogue is when I marry you home!"

"Wow, so our future little sister-in-law is so handsome?" A local ruffian who followed Cui Fa looked at Ning Bilian frivolously, and said with a smile, "Brother is really blessed, I really envy our younger brothers It's..."

"Hmph, didn't you hear what he said, he has already promised someone else." Cui Fa looked at Ning Zhou and the others coldly.

When the local ruffian heard this, he shouted with righteous indignation: "There are still people who dare to bully our eldest brother, a daughter Xu Erfu, this is really courageous. Why don't you go to the government!"

A few hooligans were about to come up and drag Ning Zhou, Gao and others.

"Don't, don't, don't..." Second Uncle Ning hastily stepped forward to stop him, "They are all women and children, please don't do anything, we have something to say..."

"What are you talking about? You must be trying to cheat our elder brother of 50 taels of silver!" The hooligans shouted indiscriminately.

"No, no, there must be some misunderstanding..." Second Uncle Ning, an honest and loyal farmer, how could he be the opponent of these ruffians across the street, and was pushed to the ground in a few strokes, knocking his head.

"Oh, his father!" Gao was frightened and rushed over in a hurry.

Second Uncle Ning was lying on the ground, and saw the name card thrown on the ground in a daze.

The brothers of the Ning family hadn't read much, but they had studied with the private school teacher for a few days when they were children, and they could still understand the names, birthdays and dates of a few books.

The three characters Ning Bilian on the name post were correct, but the birth date below was not right.

"That's not right!" He jumped up holding the name post, consciously finding the truth, "Look, it's not my family's Bilian's birthday, you must have come here on purpose to find fault! Come on, we'll see the officials right away !"

He was bleeding on his head, holding a name card in his hand, laughing and screaming, looking a little scary.

Gao burst into tears.

Cui Fa looked at them coldly, with dark eyes: "I see, you are using a fake name card to fool me. You secretly betrothed the girl to the Liu family, and here you are using a fake name card to deceive me 50 taels of silver. Good, very good. I have grown up so much, I have never suffered such a loss. There is no end to this matter!"

"What?" Second Uncle Ning was stunned, and slowly turned his head to look at Mrs Ning Zhou and Mrs Gao, "Mother, he said we lied to him for 50 taels of silver? Didn't you get that silver in exchange for your land mortgage?"

Ning Zhou lowered his eyelids a little guilty, not looking at his second son.

Uncle Ning understood.

What Cui Fa said was actually true!
What land mortgage usury is fart!

They even used their daughter's reputation to cheat 50 taels of silver behind their backs!
This is really my mother!
"Second Ning, are you still seeing the official?" Cui Fa looked at him with a sneer.

"Meet the official, what official?" Gao Shihu confronted Cui Fa in front of her husband, "Who said we lied to you? We just wrote the name of the name post wrongly. In fact, it is our family who wants to marry you." Big girl!"

As soon as these words came out, the courtyard fell silent instantly.

Liu Chunhua and Ning Caicai looked at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes.

How come it's so good that it's all about them?
Hearing this, Cui Fa glanced in the direction of Ning Caicai, and laughed: "Speaking of which, the one your family Ning Dani introduced to me was the eldest girl of your family. But the last time I came to talk, I think you are older The girl looks a little bit out of place, so I told Matchmaker Wang that the second girl is going to marry. Don't say you don't know about this."

At this moment Ning Zhou also said: "Cui Xianggong, what we brought yesterday is indeed the name card of the elder girl. If you don't believe me, you can read the birthday on the name card yourself, and then go to the village to ask, it is indeed my grandson." It's my daughter's birthday."

"Oh, is that so?" Cui Fa said slowly, "Then what's going on with the word Ning Bilian on the name post?"

"That's a misunderstanding, Mr. Private School accidentally wrote it wrong!" Gao shouted loudly.

"Really?" Cui Fa looked at the name post for a while, walked up to Mrs. Ning Zhou and Mrs. Gao, suddenly raised his hand, and slapped each of them with two slaps!
How strong is he, he slapped Ning Zhou and Gao to the ground with one slap.

"Oh, I accidentally hit the wrong person, what should I do?" Cui Fa's eyes were like poisonous snakes, and he said coldly, "Stinky old woman, how dare you deceive me? You don't even need to ask, where did I hang out?" Three days later, I will bring Ning Bilian away in a sedan chair, and you have to prepare a dowry of 50 taels for me! Otherwise, I will demolish your houses and send you all to the prison of the county government! The county magistrate is me Uncle!"

After finishing speaking, he kicked open the wooden barrel by the door, led a group of ruffians, and swaggered away.

Leave a mess in the yard.

Ning Zhou and Gao got up from the ground.

Ning Zhou looked like a frost-beaten eggplant, with a disheveled face.Gao shi burst into tears directly.

Fourth Uncle Ning shook his head: "Mother, what you have done in this matter is really...we don't take it for granted, alas!"

Second Uncle Ning squatted on the ground and sighed, and after a while, he said, "Either return the 50 taels of silver to Cui Fa that Zhou Xu asked for, or at worst, I'll go join the army!"

"Want to come back?" Ning Zhou's smile was uglier than crying, "You want to get back the money you gave, isn't it harder than climbing to the sky?"

"Then what should I do!" Second Uncle Ning panicked, squatting on the ground, helpless.

Ning Bilian rushed over, knelt in front of Ning Zhou, and cried, "Grandma, I don't want to marry Cui Fa, I don't want to!"

"What if you don't get married? I heard from Dani that Cui Fa is indeed related to the county magistrate. Do you really want the whole family to go to jail?" Ning Zhou's face was ashen, and she spread her hands, "Unless we can show Return the 100 taels of silver to others."

After all, in this matter, they were indeed uneasy and well-intentioned, and they had nowhere to reason.

Ning Bilian was dumbfounded.

If they could come up with 100 taels of silver, why did they bother so much before?
Ning Zhou was also extremely frustrated.

A good marriage with the Liu family fell through, and now not only had to marry the second granddaughter to Cui Fa, but also had to post a dowry of 50 taels!

This is where they can find it!
The joy of the Ning family turned into mourning and examination.

It also became a joke of the whole village.

When the family sat together to discuss this matter at night, Ning Zhou thought for a long time and decided to mortgage part of the family's house and fields.
