"Aunt, you can't say it like that. The things we bought today can be considered as celebrating our family having the money to pay our debts." Luo Mannmann smiled and found a suitable excuse to make Aunt Xiao feel better.

"Alright, little girl, you're being considerate." Although Aunt Xiao had a pained expression on her face, she was still happy as she touched the new ingredients on the oxcart.

Big Uncle Zhang, who was driving on the oxcart, looked back at the stuff on the cart and couldn't help but ask,

"Aunt Xiao, it's your fortune to have such a good wife. You can tell that you are a blessed person. Don't let your wife down and enjoy the good fortune."

Big Uncle Zhang was also very happy today. Today, he had been wrapped in an oxcart by the Xiao Family. Not only was this oxcart easily driven, it was also early in the morning.

Luo Mannmann was praised by others and felt a little embarrassed. She smiled sweetly at Aunt Xiao: "Aunt, don't always think about buying me food to nourish my body. Don't you know that after I had come to Xiao Family, I don't know how much fatter I have become?

These are all the necessities of the family, and there's no saving it. Also, a man like Yiming, it's not good to always wear patches on his clothes when he goes out. "

"Alright, you're right. Money is earned by you. Auntie will listen to you. You can spend whatever you want, but Auntie will also benefit from it."

Aunt Xiao was elated. Previously, her family's condition was not good, so she had two sons in a row.

She had to bitterly support this house by herself. She couldn't bear to buy clothes, and she couldn't bear to eat the eggs raised at home. Fortunately, she had survived so many years.

As she watched Yiming grow up and buy such a good wife, her life gradually became more and more popular, and her heart was finally comforted.

With three sides of the mountain surrounded by Nanshan Village, the people's style was simple and unsophisticated. In addition, they were not very busy with farming, so the villagers especially liked to get together and chat during their free time.

The daughter-in-law sat on the ox-cart and returned to the Nanshan Village. As the ox-cart passed by the luxuriant tree at the entrance, several villagers were taking advantage of the shade to eat.

Some had just returned with hoes on their shoulders, some had just walked by with water on their chests, and some were just sitting around idly chatting.

At this moment, they saw an oxcart that was full of carts. Their eyes were all glowing with red light.

"Ah, isn't that Xiao Family's Aunt Xiao and her wife Luo Mannmann?"

"Yeah, Xiao Family made a lot of money? Look, you bought a whole car? That would cost a lot of money, wouldn't it? "

"Aunt Xiao, you came back from the market in the town. Are all these things yours? It must have cost a lot of money. "

A woman greeted Aunt Xiao with a smile.

Aunt Xiao usually spent money to embroider a few more items, but she rarely went out of the door. It was rare to see her going to the town to market.

"It's okay, it's okay. I didn't spend any money. It was all for my wife's money." Aunt Xiao cheerfully replied.

Granny Liu, who was sitting under a tree and talking, saw Aunt Xiao. Her eyes lit up as she said in a sour tone,

"Xiao Family is really something, if you have the money you can go to the town and buy money, but you haven't even paid off the money that you owe them, and you still have the nerve to spend so much money and take an ox-cart back to the village. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Granny Liu said while giving a look to a villager beside her. That villager understood her meaning and quickly ran towards Auntie Qiu's house.

Luo Mannmann's big eyes darted around, as if Granny Liu wanted to see a joke about their Xiao Family, and had someone report it to Auntie Qiu.

Helplessly, he lifted his forehead. These people liked to stare at other people's money bags when they had nothing to do all day. What does it have to do with you to buy things or not to spend money?

After eating your family's rice, you still tore off your family's cloth. All day long, you have nothing to do but panic, and all day long, you talk and talk without fear of losing your tongue.

Luo Mannmann complained to herself in her heart as she heard the hoarse and aged voice by her ear. "Alright, everyone, please step aside. Uncle, I am going to drive the cow in."

Just as Old Uncle Zhang brandished his whip, he saw Auntie Qiu appear out of nowhere. She waved her hands and shouted, "Stop the car!"

Aunt Xiao frowned and said unhappily, "Auntie Qiu, what are you doing? Get out of the way, don't make Big Uncle Zhang pay when the ox-cart collide with you."

Aunt Xiao said in a sarcastic tone, meaning that they should not always seize this opportunity to scam around.

"Hmph …" Aunt Xiao, you really can do it. You don't want to pay back the money you owe us with Qiu Family, and instead want to buy so much food.

Aiyo, fellow villagers, look, it's rice essence, Xiao Family is really rich, and they purposely do not return the money. "

Auntie Qiu said that the hands were not idle, hurriedly touched the few fine cloth, smooth, exquisite touch is really good.

She had never touched such a good cloth in her life. Immediately, her eyes turned red and her faint yellow eyeballs were filled with jealousy.

Luo Mannmann became annoyed when she saw her. Seeing that Aunt Xiao wanted to retort, she immediately pulled her hand and signalled for her to come over. "Aunt, let me deal with such a troublesome woman."

Luo Mannmann fished out 4 taels of silver from her purse and threw it towards Auntie Qiu. "Here you go, the Xiao Family doesn't owe you anything from now on."

With a bang, it was unknown whether Luo Mannmann did it on purpose or not, but a silver coin struck Auntie Qiu squarely on her forehead.

"Aiyo, it hurts so much." Auntie Qiu covered her forehead and screamed. When she lowered her hand, she saw blood in her eyes.

Everyone saw that Auntie Qiu's forehead had a gash, and blood was flowing out from it.

"You, you actually hit me, it's amazing how much money I have." While she was fuming, Auntie Qiu didn't forget to pick up the silver from the ground.

"Big Uncle Zhang, hurry up and go, don't let this crazy woman catch up."

"OK, Mrs. Xiao." Big Uncle Zhang had already waved his bullwhip to drive the car. The wheels quickly turned and he saw Auntie Qiu jogging behind him:

"How could you, who have killed a thousand with a thousand knives, be so wicked? You hurt my forehead, so compensate me for the medical expenses."

Luo Mannmann turned her head and stabbed her with a knife. "Try it again. Do you believe that I will smash you with the copper coin right now? Everyone's patience is limited. Don't regret it until you run out, hmph …"

"You …" Auntie Qiu stamped her feet a few times, not daring to make a sound.

Looking at the white silver in her hands, it seemed like it was worth it to be smashed. What was there to be proud of? It was just a few coins. She had to hurry up and go to the town to spend them.

Seeing the villagers discussing, she bared her teeth and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen the money before?"

This time, the villagers were unhappy. Seeing the way she opened her eyes when money was already in sight, not many people could see it. Immediately, some villagers retorted:

"This damned woman, her heart is really too dark. She can even scrape up some money and feel at ease. I think Mrs. Xiao has done well."

"That's right, from the looks of her, she even wanted to bluff Big Uncle Zhang."

"That's right. Let's keep our distance from her in the future so that we won't be cheated by her if we're not careful." The group of villagers who were at the village entrance immediately scattered.

"Hmph, this is called jealousy, a bunch of bumpkins who have never seen the world." Auntie Qiu yelled as she handed over 10 copper coins to Granny Liu, "Granny Liu, thank you for taking care of me."

Granny Liu put the copper coin away in her bosom and said impolitely, "Of course, of course. However, we have all underestimated Xiao Family and paid back the money in such a short period of time and even bought so many things."

Their eyes were filled with jealousy and hate.

"That's right, if I had known, I would have lied a little more. It would have been cheaper for Xiao Family."

The two of them had the same bad taste in their mouths, so they took the silver and headed back home happily.

A few days later, there was a ruckus in the village. Wang Ergou's house was surrounded by a crowd of villagers, and it was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

Wang Ergou's house was so lively today. Many villagers stopped what they were doing and ran over to Wang Family to watch the show.

A luxurious carriage stopped in the courtyard of Wang Ergou's house. The carriage alighted — attendant pulled back the curtain, and two women alighted.

attendant took down the things in the carriage and carried them inside the house. Some villagers discussed curiously: "Why is Wu Tie's house so lively today? What happened? "

Yanniang told attendant to take out a bag of candy and put on a smile as she shouted,

"Thank you fellow villagers for bringing me to find Wang Family. Come, today is a good day, Wang Family is about to get married, everyone take some candy to eat, have a taste of joyous and joyous atmosphere, what a lucky day."

"What a good thing!" Wang Ergou is actually getting married? " Granny Liu, this big matchmaker started to clamor. She still looks down on Wang Family people? I didn't expect Ergou to have a wife.

Some villagers, who had seen the whole process, began to narrate their stories at the top of their lungs:

Granny Liu, you don't know about this, right? Wang Ergou was really lucky this time, there was actually a matchmaker who took the initiative to bring a girl to the door, directly asking to marry a young lady.

"Tian Xiao Village, what you said is not right. You are not well-informed, didn't you hear Ergouzi call that woman Yanniang?

Who was Yanniang? That's mammy from the Baihua House. I'm guessing that this girl was sold to Wang Ergou? "

The one who said this was that dead devil from third aunt's family. He occasionally went to whoring, so he naturally had some knowledge about those old granny's.

Yanniang was dressed very simply today. Her voice was a little soft. As she directed attendant to move his things, she was also afraid that others wouldn't be able to hear her.

Ye Zichen said loudly, "Ergouzi, don't hide in the room and not come out. Hurry up and hand in the betrothal gift and accept the bride."

"Mammy Yan, why are you here?" Ergouzi couldn't keep hiding anymore, so he shrank his head at the door, touched his forehead and came out embarrassedly.

Wasn't this too much? Also, when did he say he wanted to buy a wife and didn't have enough money? Why did this Yanniang come knocking on his door?

Aunt Wang had been stunned by this scene for a long time. Seeing that more and more villagers were coming to watch, she could not help but shout out, "Stop looking! Stop looking! If there is anything good, go back to your homes and find your mothers!"

Wang Ergou was embarrassed. He pulled on Yanniang's sleeve and pulled her into the room, "Yanniang, why did you come here today?"

Incidentally, she glanced at Hei Ya, who had her head lowered in embarrassment beside Yanniang, and said: "mammy, haven't we discussed everything already? I'll go to your place after I've collected enough silver, and in the end, you came here with Hei Ya. How could I, Ergouzi, have the money to buy a wife? "
