68 Threat
Pei Songde has always been kind and charitable. When the Pei family was prosperous, Pei Songde would always invite the family members of the servants to distribute some fruit and money every new year.

What's more, Juan'er has been a maidservant in Pei's family for many years, and her status is not low. The Xia family and his wife had received many red envelopes from Pei's family back then, so they recognized it at a glance.

Pei Songde smiled, keeping his posture very low.

"Brother Xia, don't be too polite. I'm not a master anymore. We are about the same age. You can just call me Brother Pei."

Xia's father and Xia's mother later realized that the Pei family was not as good as before. Although they still opened a pastry shop, it is said that the business is not bad, after all, it is considered a family.

Xia's father was honest, but he didn't say anything, but Xia's mother gave a dry laugh and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xia's father was very rude when he heard her talk, he was a little embarrassed, he quickly pulled Xia's mother, nodded to Pei Songde and said: "You sit down first, I'll pour you some water."

The people on Pei Songde's side looked at the pitch-black walls and the messy room, and frowned slightly.

It's hard to find a place to stay here, the only thing that can sit on is an earthen kang, on which a half-grown child with bare buttocks is lying, there is really nowhere to sit.

Pei Songde smiled and said: "It's okay, we can just stand and talk." He winked at the matchmaker. The matchmaker has also been in this business for more than ten years, and it's not like she hasn't been in all kinds of poor families. Also extremely sleek.

She stepped forward and said with a smile: "This old sister-in-law, my surname is Zhao, and everyone in the neighborhood calls me Matchmaker Zhao. I am here today to talk to your eldest daughter."

Father Xia asked in a daze, "Whose family are you talking about?"

Xia Zhong, who was standing in a daze, suddenly rushed up, grabbed Matchmaker Zhao and said anxiously, "But the Wang Butcher's house? Could it be that he was released?"

Matchmaker Zhao was taken aback by him, she broke him free, and said angrily, "What is Butcher Wang? Butcher Li? It's this Yang Tianxing Brother Yang in front of you."

She quickly pulled Yang Tianxing out from behind Pei Songde, and said with a smile: "Look, little brother Yang is handsome, tall and strong, and has a good handicraft. How about it, is it more than enough for your eldest daughter?"

Xia Zhong was taken aback for a moment, stared at Yang Tianxing and said, "Where did you come from? Which onion and garlic are you?"

Yang Tianxing said lightly: "My surname is Yang, and my name is Yang Tianxing. I am 23 years old this year. I have no parents, no brothers and sisters. I intend to ask Juan'er to be my wife. I also ask my uncles and aunts to help me."

Xia's father, Xia's mother and Xia Zhong were all surprised by Yang Tianxing who appeared suddenly.

Xia Zhong looked suspiciously at Yang Tianxing for a long time, and saw that although his clothes looked brand new, it could be seen that the material was not very good.But neither humble nor overbearing, but dare not be underestimated.

Not sure about Yang Tianxing's origin, Xia Zhong didn't dare to act rashly, but asked cautiously: "I don't know where is this brother Yang?"

Yang Tianxing hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "I work in Pei's pastry shop."

Xia Zhong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he let out a strange "Aha" laugh, and said in a strange way: "So you're just a handyman? How much dowry can you afford to marry my sister?"

Yang Tianxing was silent for a while, and said, "I would like to offer a dowry gift of 30 taels of silver."

Mother Xia interjected, "Where do you live now?"

Yang Tianxing showed embarrassment on his face: "I'm currently living in Pei's shop."

He said in a hurry: "Although I don't have a place to live now, I have skills. I believe that in the next few years, Juan'er and I will have our own place and our own shop."

Before he finished speaking, Mother Xia interrupted him with an extremely ugly expression.

"Okay, you don't need to talk about it." She turned her head and said to Pei Songde: "Master Pei, I am not talking about you, but based on my Juan'er's appearance, she must be able to marry into a rich family and wear gold and silver. Back then We are willing to let Juan'er stay in your family for so many years, we originally thought that your young master could accept Juan'er, but we didn't expect your family to fall into this situation."

Pei Jing, who had been standing by the side without making a sound, was so angry that his face suddenly changed, but Xia Mu sneered slightly, and said with a sneer: "Since Young Master Pei has no fate with Juan'er, I have no choice but to give up. It's just that my Juan'er It has already been promised to Uncle Wang in Xicheng, and I will pass the door in a few days, I am really sorry, you are too late."

Xia Zhong also sneered and said: "It's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and doesn't care how much he weighs. You should go quickly, don't wait for me to chase you away."

Pei Jing couldn't bear it any longer, stepped out from one side, grabbed Xia Zhong's collar and lifted it up, angrily said: "Bastard, what are you talking about? I warn you to keep your mouth clean!"

Pei Songde held back his anger and patted Pei Jing's hand: "Let go of him first, I still have something to say."

Pei Jing resentfully threw Xia Zhong aside, Xia Zhong didn't expect that Pei Jing, a weak man, would have such great strength in his hands, his face turned pale with fright, and he said tremblingly: "You still want to What are you talking about? In short, don’t think about it, we won’t agree.”

Pei Songde said softly: "Xia Zhong, do you owe the Bi family 30 taels of silver?"

Xia Zhong said in astonishment: "How do you know?"

Pei Songde sneered slightly: "Not only do I know that you owe the Bi family 30 taels of silver, but I also know that you owed the 30 taels of silver because of the fight in Hualou, where you injured the person surnamed Bi."

Xia Zhong said angrily, "So what?"

Pei Songde only said softly: "As far as I know, that surnamed Bi doesn't want the 30 taels of silver anymore, he is going to go to the government office to sue you. And the butcher king you want to cling to has already been convicted by the government office. I'm afraid that Qiu Hou will be punished. And if you don't want to face a lawsuit, you can only rely on us now."

Xia Zhong's face turned green and then pale, and he asked in a trembling voice, "How do you know this? Why should I trust you?"

Pei Songde twitched the corners of his lips slightly: "It's up to you, then we'll leave first, and within three days, someone from the county government will come to arrest you, and you can figure it out. Although Yang Tianxing doesn't have much foundation now, he's honest and honest. I am willing to pay a dowry of 30 taels of silver to marry your sister. If you agree, you will naturally be a family, and we will find a way to solve it at the Bi family. If you do not agree," Pei Songde sneered: "Of course it is not our business, we Why should I care about your life?"

He made a gesture to walk out the door, Pei Jing, Yang Tianxing and Zhao Matchmaker also bent down and went out the door, Xia's father and Xia's mother realized this, and hurriedly chased them out yelling.
