C5 No Unforeseen Calamity

In the evening, Liao Qing Qing and the others returned.

Looking from afar, his expression was as uncomfortable as constipation. Liao Qiujie secretly glanced at the remaining half jar of white wine. Would he get angry if her father found out?

Mrs Zhao saw that Liao Qing Qing had returned to her room and followed her in. She immediately asked, "How is it? Then the Zhou family has agreed to it? "

"After a period of trouble, the Zhou family agreed. However, they didn't give her the betrothal gift. "Mother is too angry. We should return the betrothal gift and see if the Zhou family gives us a betrothal gift or not." Liao Qing Qing scratched her head, looking a little gloomy.

"What the heck is this?" Mrs Zhao sat down, and her tears flowed down her face.

Liao Qiuju was also extremely furious. This grandmother of hers was truly biased. No matter what, Liao Qingqing was still her son.

Bullying his own family for the sake of an Elementary Scholar's son-in-law was truly heartless.

Liao Qing Qing was silent for a while before she asked, "We did an immediate count of five taels of silver for the Zhou family's betrothal gift. Do we even have this money? "

"No, no. I don't care if I have to return the betrothal gift and have your father and mother return it. " Mrs Zhao howled and threw herself onto the bed, crying.

Liao Qing glanced at Liao Qiuhua and hurried to comfort Mrs Zhao.

Liao Qiuju wanted to comfort her, but she heard the old lady's curses coming from outside.

"I'm not dead yet, and I'm not deaf. Why are you howling? If you don't want to call us father and mother, then scram.

Liao Qiuju was so angry that she was trembling. She could not help but curse, "Your milky ears are not deaf, but your eyes are blind. My father is also your son. You're being too paranoid, and your gains and losses are too deep. It's hard to say when you'll one day become an elder without support. "

"You damned girl, you dare curse me? "See if I beat you to death …" Old Mrs Liao was about to rush into the room.

Old Master Liao pulled her back and growled, "Enough, it's better if you all speak less. The child felt wronged. As an elder, why bother with them? "Let's go back."

Old madam Liao kept cursing, but was eventually pulled back by the old tutor.

"Ah!" Liao Qing Qing screamed.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Liao Qiuhua was shocked, only to see Mrs Zhao bite his arm, her eyes flashed with a murderous light.

"It's fine, it's fine. As long as your mother is happy. " Liao Qing Qing smiled wryly as she waved her arm.

Seeing that Mrs Zhao's eyes had quickly softened, Liao Qiuju whispered, "Go and bring the food over tonight, I don't want to eat with them."

Liao Qing Qing nodded without hesitation, then called for Liao Qiuju to clean up the table while he went to the kitchen to split the dishes.

Liao Qiuju hugged Mrs Zhao and said softly, "Mother, Father is so good to you."

"Nonsense, there's no need to make me feel wronged like this." Yesterday I said that I will not return the betrothal gift if I break off the engagement. But he, on the other hand, is going to return the betrothal gift to his sister. Sooner or later, I will be angered to death by him. " When Mrs Zhao said this, her anger had already dissipated by more than half.

Liao Qiuhua continued, "How about we get grandpa to hand out this betrothal gift? Five taels of silver isn't a small sum. "

"It's no wonder that this damned old granny agrees." Mrs Zhao said fiercely.

Being under the same roof, they all knew each other's personalities very well. Liao Qiuju also felt that it was unlikely.

Liao Qing served her dinner, doing her best to coax Mrs Zhao to eat.

Liao Qiuju saw that he was continuously trying to please her, but Mrs Zhao could not get happy, so she pointed out some things for him.

"Dad, you don't have to coax me anymore. Or think of a way, what should this betrothal gift do? If you return it, then where did you get the money from? "

Hearing this, Liao Qing Qing came to a realization. This was the main reason why Lady Zhao was so distressed. He quickly said, "Dad intends to sell the fish and prawns online. Tell your grandfather to tell the Zhou family that the betrothal gift will be returned to them slowly."

Liao Qiuju shook his head and said, "Selling fish and shrimp would probably take a long time. The Zhou family definitely wouldn't wait that long. You also have a lot of work to do at home. Besides, even if you earn money, the milk will want you to join the public. It's the rule of the family. "

The Liao family was managed by Old Madam Liao. Most of the money earned by the men in the family were placed in the public court. Most of the private money was earned by their wives knitting cloth. Of course, their wives were responsible for a lot of work every day, so those who could draw space for weaving were diligent in their work.

Therefore, it was extremely difficult for his family to return the betrothal gift in a short period of time.
