Chapter 21 Lively
Everyone's eyes are discerning, Mao Yuan lost Fengluan, and he had to listen to others say that the Mao family was ruthless, the young man's heart couldn't bear it.Until Guo's third grandma, Ma Shi, came to speak and Mao Yuan heard that Feng Luan was going to marry the Guo family, his heart seemed to be cut by a knife.

The three members of the Mao family all believed in the lies of Grandma Guo San.The Zhou family is short of money now, and Mr. Guo is a useless person who is not picky.From the present point of view, it is possible for them to get married.

Mao Yuan didn't know why he gave Feng Luan five taels of silver, but when he heard this, he had only one thought, to meet her and persuade her not to marry a useless person.See she just say this?Of course Fengluan needs money.Mao Yuan took out his private room and left.

By such a coincidence, he also saw Feng Luan's sedan chair passing by on the street, and seeing that his father, shopkeeper Mao, was not there, he deliberately ran to wait in the alley that he must pass through.

Mao's father and son, the old one ran to the gate of Guo's house and waited, and the young one ran to wait in the alley.

Seeing his father asking, Mao Yuan thought about it, and the burning pain on his face made him confident: "That is my money, which I have accumulated over the years, and I will give it to her!"

"Okay! Hello." The shopkeeper Mao was trembling with anger, tremblingly looking at his son, covering his face with his hands without showing any weakness, and standing upright, showing his resistance in every way.

As soon as he bent down, shopkeeper Mao took off one of his shoes, swung it in his hand, and slammed it at his son, beating and scolding: "Your money, you still belong to me! Your wings are hard, and you give it to me indiscriminately." People's money. This money belongs to me!"

Mao Yuan hid everywhere, and Mao Lin stopped in the middle: "Don't hit him, master, don't hit him!"

With a "bang", Mao Yuan hit the chair, and the chair hit the table again. After a few "cracks" and "snaps" a few more times, a thick teapot on the table fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

Mao Lin felt distressed: "This pot is worth twenty Wen!"

Someone opened the door and came in, and a voice came in from outside: "Oh, what's the matter, I said cousin, why did you hit my good nephew?" A fat woman came in, saw this scene, stood On the threshold, this sentence came first.

The stout woman who came here had a dark complexion and obvious roughness on her hands. This is Yang, a relative of shopkeeper Mao. She married into the Wang family, a farming family in the countryside. She had four daughters, and the eldest was the same year as Mao Yuan. , bent on marrying the Mao family.

Looking for a marriage for my daughter in the countryside, it is inevitable to face the loess and go farming.If you marry Mao Yuan, you can become the shopkeeper's lady.

The Yang family also had a share in persuading shopkeeper Mao to withdraw from the Zhou family.

Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away. Things about Zhou's family spread quickly. Yang heard that Feijiao came to the city and told him that Mao's family was not virtuous. Someone persuaded him like this, thinking that he had a wine shop in his house, and his son didn't like it. Worrying about finding someone, he agreed to withdraw.

On the day of going to retire, Yang also helped to quarrel for a few words before returning to her home outside the city.

After staying at home for a few days, Yang tidied up her eldest daughter and took her with her today, intending to meet her in-laws and make a marriage arrangement.The daughter of the Wang family was timid, and Yang told her many things on the road: "If you stay here, don't go home again. Those who run wine shops are full of fish and chicken all day long, and they can't finish eating all the leftovers from customers. .”

When I came here, I saw that it was a mess here. As usual, the daughter of the Wang family was afraid of people, hiding outside the room with her hands shrunk and not coming in.Mrs. Yang came in by herself, and saw that the ground was in a mess, and there were tea leaves and broken teapot pieces on the ground.

Looking at the people again, shopkeeper Mao has one bare foot, the patched sock on his foot is exposed, and his own black cloth shoe is held high in his hand.

Sitting on the ground, Mao Lin patted his thighs and cried: "My teapot, twenty big sons." Mao Yuan shrank aside, covering his face with one hand in a panic. The pieces of broken tea leaves were dripping wet on the shirt, it was funny to watch.

As soon as Mrs. Yang asked, the shopkeeper Mao stopped, pointed at his son and was about to growl: "Ask him, steal money from the shop, and eat everything!"

Mao Yuan pushed a chair in front of him as a barrier, and said back: "I didn't steal it, it was my private house!" Teenagers have rebellious periods, and Mao Yuan has always been an obedient and good boy. All the rebellion was brought out, and Mao Yuan also yelled: "My own private house!" His tears rolled in his eyes, is it easy?It's all New Year's money, accumulated one by one.

The manager of the Mao family doesn’t give their children much money for New Year’s Eve, they just give it to the ten eldest sons and they’ll go.Mao Yuan is exchanged for silver, and the small ones are accumulated into large ones.When it was delivered to Feng Luan, there were one, two, and five cents, but there was no silver ingot of one or two taels of silver.

As soon as money is involved, Yang's sensitivity is very high, and he is also very vigilant!Women have intuition, and the first sentence hits the mark: "Is it for the Zhou family?"

Mao Yuan didn't expect his cousin to be so old-fashioned, he was taken aback, and instinctively thought that they would embarrass Feng Luan, so he retorted: "No, I must give it!"

Shopkeeper Mao jumped up and scolded: "What the hell! Don't stop me, I'll beat this guy to death today for stealing money from his own family to help outsiders!"

"That's not an outsider, it's Uncle Zhou who you used to do business with!" Mao Yuan completely retorted today, and Mao Lin would just sit on the ground and cry: "My ancestors, how can I live, I will With such a son, the good marriage is gone, and the child has set a certain amount of fruit to eat and give away during the four festivals of the year. After a while, he can marry, so you resigned!"

Yang carefully remembers, how many things to give during the four festivals of the year?These have to be supplied to our family.Of course she wanted to stop shopkeeper Mao, and called out to her daughter: "Come and stop your father-in-law."

Regardless of whether the Mao family recognizes it or not, the Yang family will recognize it first.

Shopkeeper Mao was panting with anger, and Mao Yuan had only one hard sentence: "I didn't steal it!"

With such a mess, Mao Lin also felt bitter and bitter. He turned over and stood up, showing his power to the shopkeeper Mao once in a while: "Your money comes for nothing, whether it is blown by a strong wind or floated by a flood! Zhou Zhou In addition to the dowry, the girl in the family also spends a few taels of silver on her every year, buying her flowers to wear when she is a child, and a hairpin for a year when she grows up, and food, we will lose this money!"

"The Zhou family is about to become a pit of thousands. Do you think he can turn it over again! The debt is not small. After paying the money, he still owes more than 3000 taels!" More taels of silver! Take it as more than 3000 copper coins! If the marriage is still going on, he will borrow three melons and two jujubes, whether you will give it or not! He will be ready to turn around, and I am afraid that the principal of the business will have nowhere to go Borrow! There is a shop whose business is so bad that no one even goes there, old woman, hum!"

Mao Lin groaned, she really didn't settle the account.She just thought that she could marry a daughter-in-law, and she would have to start all over again to make another marriage.

Mrs. Yang opened her mouth at the right moment, smiling sweetly, and said affectionately: "Cousin, sister-in-law, as the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there are days outside the world, and the saying goes well, what are Meng Guang and Liang Hong going to carry together?" case."
