C16 Take a Guest to Dinner

The Zhou family did not want to agree to the marriage, but only the two elders knew that Old Madam Liao wanted to blame Mrs Zhao, who had fought, for letting the Third Madame bear the burden of the money and make plans for her daughter.

Liao Qiuju had underestimated the shameless ability of Old Madam Liao.

Liao Qiuju could only look at her parents helplessly.

Liao Qing looked at Old Master Liao and said softly, "Father, five taels of silver will take a long time to accumulate."

"Then slowly gather them up. Before your little sister marries, you can always get them together." Old Granny Liao growled in a low voice.

Old Master Liao glanced at the three rooms' ash-gray faces and said, "This matter cannot be blamed on all of you. "Just think of a way to get two taels of silver."

Old Granny Liao glared at him, but in the end, she did not say anything else and agreed to this decision.

Liao Qing and her family could no longer refute this. They had beaten up the Zhou family's auntie and ruined the marriage. It was hard for them to not be blamed for this.

Once back in the house, Liao Qiuju started cursing. If it weren't for the fact that the two elders wanted to marry an Elementary Scholar, how could they have ended up like this? This was all due to their greed, and in the end, they had to implicate their family.

Mrs Zhao looked at Liao Qiujie and said with a smile, "After beating up that bad woman of the Zhou Family, just two taels of silver would be enough to vent her anger. However, I'm afraid we'll have to count on the wine being sold for some money. "

With the fruit wine in hand, Liao Qing and Zhao did have some hopes, as subsidising two taels of silver in the public school wasn't something that would be hard to accept.

The family of four washed their feet and went to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Liao Qiuhua woke up early and placed some sugar in each of the fruit wine. After checking that there were no mistakes in the wine's production, she went to wash her face.

Walking out of the courtyard, Liao Qiuju spotted Jiang Teng standing outside from afar.

His gaze was indifferent as he looked at the courtyard. When he saw Liao Qiu Ju, his eyes flashed as if he was looking for Liao Qiu Ju.

Upon seeing this, Liao Qiuju hesitated for a moment before pulling Liao Qiujun out of bed. The siblings then went up to welcome him.

"Lady Liao." Jiang Teng bowed slightly and then nodded to Liao Qiujun.

"Teacher." The two siblings returned the greeting. Liao Qiujun and Jiang Teng had gotten to know each other quite well. Liao Qiujun then asked, "Teacher, are you looking for me or my sister?"

Jiang Teng glanced at Liao Qiujie and said, "I came here this time to apologize to Miss Liao. At that time, I had no choice but to do so. Please forgive me."

Liao Qiujiu waved her hand and said, "I won't thank you enough for saving my life. "You helped me clarify my reputation and take care of my business. If it wasn't to avoid suspicion, I would even like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."

Liao Qiujun said, "Sis, Teacher has treated me so well in the private school. Why don't we let Father and Mother treat Teacher to a meal?" "How about it?"

Liao Qiuju was indifferent, and her family was poor. How could she afford to treat a teacher to a meal? It was better not to cause trouble for his parents, as he still owed his parents two taels of silver.

"There's no need to trouble yourself. I still have to go to Yujia to teach. Goodbye." Jiang Teng smiled and waved his hand. Seeing Liao Qiuju's expression, he did not want to bring trouble to the Liao family.

Liao Qiuju was startled, and she quickly pulled on Jiang Teng's sleeve, scaring him. It had to be known that a woman's behavior was very irregular. He was an outsider after all.

"Are you talking about the Great Earth Lord's family?" It is said that he has several concubines, and that his old mother is still alive, is it not so? " Liao Qiuju asked with a joyous expression as she let go of her sleeves.

Jiang Teng nodded and said: "That's right."

Liao Qiujie's attitude immediately changed as she chuckled, "Then you'll be coming to my house to eat after attending a private school tonight. I have something to discuss with you, so I need your help."

Jiang Teng was stunned. This woman changed her attitude really quickly, and she invited him for a meal because she had something to ask for his help. If he couldn't help her, then the meal wouldn't be good.

He pondered for a moment, then bitterly smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't be rude."

Liao Qiuju smiled and dragged the dazed Liao Qiujun home, ignoring Jiang Teng.

As soon as she returned home, Liao Qiujie discussed the matter of treating her parents to a meal.

Both Liao Qing and Madame Zhao frowned. If they were to treat someone to a meal, they would have to have at least a meat dish. How would their families have any excess silver taels?

However, Teacher Jiang had done a lot of favors for his family. It was not reasonable for them to not treat him to a meal.

"Father, Mother, we'll depend on him for the five jugs of fruit wine." "If he were to help us out and say it, we'll have to wait for the money with a wave of the Yu Family's hand." Liao Qiuju explained with a smile.

The eyes of the couple instantly lit up.
