Splendid Peasant Girl: The Orion's Husband Lacks Training

Chapter 42
Hearing this, Zhang Mingyu nodded, and said goodbye to Ye Ziqiu and the others with a flat mouth.

After all, Mrs. Zhang didn't want what Mrs. Jiang took, so the family went out of the village with light clothes. At this time, there were no ox carts going to the town, so the family could only walk home on foot. It was about ten miles away from home. About an hour.

When we got home, it was pitch black, and Ye's house was also pitch black. After entering the courtyard, Ye Zhengliang pulled the door and found that it was locked from the inside, so he felt relieved.

He reached out and knocked, "Zi Xia, father is back, open the door."

The room quickly turned on a faint light, and the door was opened. Seeing Zhang Shi and Ye Ziqiu following behind Ye Zhengliang, Ye Zixia was very happy, "Mother, eldest sister, you are back too."

Ye Ziqiu responded with a smile, followed into the house, and went straight back to her own room.

"I'm not at home these two days, have you made any mistakes?"

Ye Zixia's face tensed up when she heard this, "What do you mean, teach me when you come back, what mistakes can I make." She said, glaring at Ziqiu, lying down and turning her back.

Ye Ziqiu couldn't help laughing, "I'm kidding you!"

"Humph!"

Ye Zixia was irritating just after she came back, so Ye Zixia didn't want to talk to her at all, Ye Ziqiu smiled, went out to get some water to wash her feet, then took off her clothes and got into bed.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble, has anything happened in the past two days?"

"What's the matter?" Xia Zixia turned his face, thought for a while and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that the corvee incident made people panic."

Ye Ziqiu nodded, as long as there is nothing to do.

"Okay, let's sleep!"

After walking all the way, she was already exhausted, Ye Ziqiu lay down and fell into a deep sleep not long after.

Early the next morning, after dinner, there was nothing else going on at home, Ye Ziqiu, mother and daughter, were doing embroidery work, and Ye Zixia was also busy with it.

Ye Zixia has also reached the age of engagement and marriage, and she must be able to do these tasks, but she is obviously not interested, it doesn't mean she can't, it's just that her skills are not very good.

Mrs. Zhang didn't let her temper go this time, and glared at her angrily, Ye Zixia could only obediently play with her needle and thread.

A few people here were busy with their work, so they heard someone entered the yard, Ye Ziqiu looked over, and it was Mrs. Liu.

Liu Shi actually took the initiative to come to her house, which made her very happy, "Mother, it's Aunt Qi who came."

Mrs. Zhang heard the words and came down, just as Mrs. Liu opened the door and came in, "Sister-in-law Qi is here, sit down quickly."

Let the person sit down, Mrs. Zhang poured tea for Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law is here today?"

From the moment Liu entered the door, there was a hint of embarrassment on her face, and she didn't know what could make her come over under pressure.

If she didn't say anything, Mrs. Zhang didn't want to ask, so the mother and daughter just looked at her quietly.Liu blushed, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, I'm here today to borrow money from you."

Borrow money?

After Liu said this, she was already stiff with embarrassment, but thinking of her son, she could only give up her shame.

The reason why they came to Ye's house was because they knew that they had money in their hands. She didn't want to give her 70 taels last time, but now she has to humbly borrow it. How can she not embarrass her.

But Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything, and didn't ask any further questions, she just said: "Look at what my sister-in-law said, our family already owes you money, why bother to borrow money, just wait, I'll get it for you."

Mrs. Zhang took out the silver from the money box. The 70 taels of silver belonged to the family, but she still wanted to give Ye Zhengliang a share, so Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to say, "Sister-in-law, I should have given you all the money. But you also know that this time the corvee used a lot of money, so I can only repay you 50 taels first, and pay the rest when you have it, what do you think?"

Mrs. Liu came here to borrow money, so she is naturally happy to get 50 taels now, and she will not care about her face at this time, so she nodded, "Then I will accept the money, and as for the repayment you said, I don't need it." , that tiger was also fought by your elder brother Qi and younger brother Ye at the beginning, so there is no reason for me to give it to my family. Let it be like this!"

Mrs. Liu put down her words, put the money away, and walked away quickly.

Seeing her leave, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let her accept the money, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.

One day if the gift money is not returned, one day she will not be able to settle down to make an engagement for her daughter. Now that Mrs. Liu has taken the money, it proves that the Qi family has given up the marriage, and she can do it with great fanfare.

Mrs. Zhang laughed after thinking about it.

"Mother, what are you laughing at?" Ye Zixia was struggling with needlework and asked unhappily.

"Embroider your flowers."

Mrs. Zhang put away the rest of the money with a smile, feeling a sense of relief to settle her mind.

"It's alright this time, and we don't have to worry about the Qi family anymore." Mrs. Zhang was happy, but Ye Ziqiu pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.

However, she immediately adjusted her mentality.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day, which was the day of Ye Ziyu's engagement. Aunt Ye came over early in the morning, as if the previous unhappiness did not exist, and said with a smile: "Her second aunt, I'm here to pick you up, Ziyu The girl is engaged, you guys have to go!"

This matter has been agreed to for a long time, and it is not easy to refuse now, so Mrs. Zhang agreed.

Mrs. Zhang didn't understand what they meant, and when they left, she curled her lips and said, "Look at that snarky look, isn't it just to show that Ziyu is married, what's the big deal."

Mrs. Zhang said while taking out clothes in the cabinet, and said to the Ye family sisters: "You two also find two good clothes, and you will go there later."

Mrs. Zhang spoke. Although Ye Ziqiu didn't want to go, she dared to refute, but she didn't want to dress too conspicuously. Thinking of her previous life, she was seen by Zhao Junsheng at the engagement ceremony. This time she decided to go home after a formality.

He casually found a dark-colored dress and put it on to make himself less conspicuous. After Ye Ziqiu finished changing, Mrs. Zhang was a little dissatisfied, "Qiu'er, why are you wearing this one? There is a light yellow one, that one looks good."

Ye Ziqiu frowned, "Mother, why do I look so good-looking, Ye Ziyu is the main character, you want her to dislike me for a while."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, she let her go.

Ye Zhengliang and Ye Changan also changed into their clothes, and the family went to the Ye family's old house.

At this time, the old house was crowded with many people, all waiting to see how much the Zhao family would give as a betrothal gift.Bustling.The Ye family struggled to squeeze in and entered the house.

Mrs. Ye was talking to a group of people about how good her grandson-in-law is, and she rolled her eyelids when she saw a few people.

Even so, there was no need to interrupt her, Ye Ziqiu didn't greet her either.

But Ye Zhengliang stepped forward and called his mother, but Mrs. Ye ignored her.

After a while, the sound of gongs and drums was heard, and the crowd crowded outside the door, watching a long line of people carrying things, and setting off firecrackers when they got close, and then carried the things into the yard.

There are benefactor cakes, three animals, wine, tea, all kinds of things, and there is also a box. When it is opened, there are rows of white money, and the eyes of the people around are hot.
