Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 222 Twenty-one

   Ruan Xiaojiu didn't dare to answer, and looked at Su Yao in horror and hesitation: "Girl, it's already a great grace that you promised my sister, how can I still ask for your money."

  Su invites him to hold it with a firm attitude.

Ruan Xiaojiu's expression was complicated, and she finally made up her mind, took the silver note in Yancao's hand, and knelt down and kowtowed three times to Su Yao: "Girl, you are my reborn parents, from now on, this little one Your life is yours!"

   When he saw Su Yao just smiled, he pursed his lips, but didn't say anything, he just retreated, went straight out of the house and went back to his home in the alley outside.

Because the family had no money to travel, my father was not able to work in the house, so he had to find another way out, tending the fruit trees in the orchard, often coming back once every few months, while the mother was in the pulp washing place in the outer courtyard, washing the capable maids. Clothes cost 300 yuan a month. After returning home, I would help my neighbors or my daughter-in-law who was working in the house to do laundry to make some money, but even so, it was not easy for their family to live.

There were only two heated kangs in the house recently. It cost my father half a year's wages. The rest of the money, my parents want to get some for my grandparents and prepare to paint my brother's house. Worrying about her sister's dowry.

   As soon as he entered the house, he saw his sister sitting on the small bench washing clothes, her face was red, and he seemed to know that she had cried again.

He sighed, and then heard the loud voice of Mrs. Yang, who was on the line in the room: "Oh, I said Sister Ruan, in your family's situation, if you can get such a good marriage, that's why your ancestral graves are smoking! You! But thank me very much, otherwise, what's wrong with your daughter, who looks good? At most, she is matched with a poor servant like your boy, and the couple lives with smeared eyes!"

Mrs. Yang's harsh voice continued to drift out: "Besides, you can always fall behind when you marry this daughter-in-law, just in time to marry your two sons, otherwise you want to marry a daughter-in-law based on your family? In the next life. !"

   Sister's head lowered even more.

   Ruan Xiaojiu gritted her teeth, took a few steps into the gate, closed the courtyard door, and stepped into the main room. At a glance, she saw Mrs. Yang, who was talking eloquently, and her mother, who was sitting on the side with a distressed but helpless smile.

   A surge of blood rushed to his heart, and he said loudly, "No need for Mama Yang! Our family is not getting married! Don't bother you!"

His voice was so loud that Mrs. Yang was taken aback without any precautions, and she blinked a few times before saying, "Xiao Jiu, are you confused? It's such a good marriage, no one else can think of it. , you are good, not married yet?"

   Sister Ruan was also shocked and anxious, but she was dumb and honest and didn't know how to react.

Yang's mother smiled sarcastically again: "You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, this matter is decided by the top, if I didn't look at Pu Zhuangtou's face, invite me to come and I will pay you back. Don't come! You kid, I really don't know what to do!"

   Ruan Xiaojiu's sister Ruan Sanmei ran in, and hurriedly pulled her brother with a pair of red and rough hands: "Don't talk nonsense, where is the place for you to talk?"

Ruan Xiaojiu was trembling and looked at Mama Yang unbearably loudly and shouted: "If what I said is true, you will find out if you ask! The fourth girl and the eldest young master agreed in person. My sister and Pu Zhuangtou have a problem. , that's it! My sister doesn't need to get married, and naturally she doesn't bother mom, you can take care of it, and ask mom to go back!"

   Everyone was stunned for a while, and looked at Ruan Xiaojiu in surprise.

Yang's mother immediately wanted to laugh at him for being whimsical, but when she thought that he seemed to be really picked by Su Yao to do business, she was a little skeptical - Su Yao is now in the mansion, and it is more effective than the three girls and the three young masters. Can't say it is really easy to agree?

   Yes, but Pu Zhuangtou.

   She couldn't figure it out, but she was worried about Su Yao, and finally smiled embarrassingly, said hello to Sister Ruan, and hurried away.

   Sister Ruan and Ruan Sanmei couldn't believe it for a while, and chased Ruan Xiaojiu to ask if it was true or not.

Ruan Xiaojiu saw that the honest mother and sister both had red eyes and cautious, mixed feelings for a moment, hurriedly nodded and affirmed loudly: "Of course it is true, the fourth girl said it herself, saying that you and your father will find another marriage for your sister, He also rewarded me with two hundred taels of silver."

   Hearing Ruan Xiaojiu say that Su Yao also rewarded 200 taels of silver, the mother and daughter couldn't believe it at all, until they saw the 200 taels of silver notes, they felt that they were dreaming.

The family cried and laughed. They waited until Ruan Da came back in the evening. They couldn't believe it. They couldn't even care about the waist that couldn't straighten up. They stammered and asked for the banknote. up.

  A man in his forties who never cried in the past, but now he is crying like a child.

After crying, Ruan Da pulled Ruan Xiaojiu to his side and patted his son on the shoulder: "Okay! Okay, your kid is capable, unlike your father, your father never made so much money in his life. Follow the four girls well and listen to the four girls."

   He said, and said seriously: "I and your mother are going to kowtow to the fourth girl."

On the other side, after Su Yao returned, she said a few words to Su Rong, and someone from the old lady came to urge Su Rong to go there. She excused that there was something else in the council room and let Su Rong go first, but told He Jian to go. winked.

   After a while, He Jian turned around again, and Su Yao asked him, "What happened to Pu Zhuangtou?"

   Even if there is kindness, Pu Zhuangtou said that Potian is still the servant of the uncle, and besides, he has already become the head of Zhuang, why does it seem that it is so important for the house to find a daughter-in-law for him?

He Jian sighed and shook his head: "When Pu Zhuang rescued the eldest young master, it was either someone else's house or in the courtyard of the eldest young master's then fiancee Zhang's house. The cousins ​​complained to each other and threatened to withdraw from their relatives.”

  Su invited to understand.

  Pu Zhuangtou must have encountered this incident at that time.

   Anyway, being given a green hat is not a good reputation for anyone, especially when Su Rong broke his leg.

   Pu Zhuang bumped into the incident. He must have seen Su Rong arguing with the Zhang family's young lady and rescued Su Rong, so naturally the Su family couldn't treat him badly.

Sure enough, He Jian said again: "After that incident, the family let Pu Zhuangtou be the head of the family. Some time ago, Pu Zhuangtou took out his son's marriage to beg the family, and he brought out the original matter. talk."
