Seeing Yang Ruoqing finish her meal, Sun was very pleased.

She took the bowl and chopsticks and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, while we were cooking dinner earlier, your mother came over."

"What's my milk for?"

Yang Ruoqing asked.

Instinctively, a sense of vigilance arose in my heart.

Mrs. Sun looked happy and said, "Guess what!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled bitterly: "Should you come to borrow money?"

This time Yang Huamei poured out a bowl of tea and lost the old Yang family's forty taels of silver.

Later, Uncle Wu will give Cai Cai to the Bao family, which is also a betrothal gift.

Wang Shuanzi still stayed in the county hospital to recuperate from his injuries.

Lao Yang's family will still have to pay later.

At this juncture, it is very likely that Mr. Tan came here to borrow money!

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's speculation, Mr. Sun was dumbfounded.

"Your mother caught a rooster for us!" said Sun.

"ah?"

Yang Ruoqing was stunned.

Are you hallucinating?

Tan unexpectedly...

"Your mother said that your father hasn't eaten anything solid since he got sick. Grab a rooster and help your father recuperate!" Mrs. Sun continued.

The woman also had a look of emotion on her face.

"Your father and I don't want it, but we have to keep your breasts. Just drop the chicken and run away."

"Hey, your father and I have been thinking about this all night."

"Qing'er, what do you think of this chicken, should we take it or not?" Sun asked Yang Ruoqing for her opinion.

Yang Ruoqing said without hesitation: "Take it, I'll definitely take it!"

Mrs. Sun said: "Isn't this good? Your grandparents have had such a big deal happen this time, and their money is tight..."

Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes.

"If Tang Yazi and I hadn't helped them recover the silver and horses, my father would have had to sell his land to pay for it!"

"Compared to losing everything and being heavily in debt, what does this mere rooster mean?"

Yang Ruoqing asked.

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she struggled all night and finally made up her mind.

"Okay, then tomorrow I will kill the rooster and stew it in a pot. Then I will call Tang Yazi over to eat together."

Sun said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

"Tang Yazi did a great job in this matter. Logically speaking, my grandma gave us chickens, so Tang Yazi should be kind to her," she said.

"No matter what, I'll kill the chicken tomorrow anyway, so it won't be in vain for grandma's efforts!"

…

In the front yard, the lights were still on in Lao Yangtou and Tan's house.

They hadn't slept a wink all night, and neither of them felt sleepy at all.

Old Yang leaned his head on the bed and smoked a cigarette.

Mrs. Tan sat cross-legged on the outside of the bed doing needlework.

"Mother Meier, besides grain crops and poultry and livestock in the backyard, how much cash does our family have now?"

Old Yangtou asked.

Mrs. Tan said without raising her head: "There are not many left, and I have lost five taels of silver!"

Lao Yangtou thought about it for a while and calculated it.

"In two days, I have to go to Bao's house to accept the lottery. The three festival gifts are converted into money. It doesn't look good if I can't even give you two taels of silver."

"Before the wedding, I have to buy new clothes for the fifth daughter-in-law and buy clothes and shoes for her family. It will cost at least four to five hundred yuan."

"On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, if there is no wife coming in, it will cost two taels of silver to buy a banquet for the whole village!"

"Gifts from relatives and friends should be worth one tael of silver."

"To sum it all up, we need to prepare more than three taels of silver for the fifth time we get married."

"Lao Wang's family has already paid more than two taels of silver to go in."

"When Wang Shuanzi returns to the village later, we have to buy some supplements and visit him."

"Calculating this, we won't be able to save even half a penny within the year!"

After hearing Old Yangtou's calculation, Mr. Tan no longer had the heart to do any work.

"I've already given my fifth daughter the money to get married, so there won't be any hair left from Mei'er's dowry!"

She looked dissatisfied and muttered.

"Anyway, that girl from the Bao family is also an old girl. Everything about the betrothal gift should be kept simple!"

"We don't want to hold a banquet for the whole village, so we can just hold two banquets for relatives and friends!" she said.

Old Yangtou was unhappy.

"When each of the five sons marries a wife, the whole village will have a banquet."

"Why don't you do anything when you get to Lao Wu?"

"It doesn't make sense! When I walk in the village, people will laugh at me!" he said.

Mrs. Tan twitched her lips.

"You've almost lost your lining, but you still care about face?"

"I don't care, out of these five taels of silver, I have to leave three taels for my daughter's dowry!"

"If you don't have enough money later, you can borrow it from the third child."

"They are now doing tofu business with restaurants in town, and they are rich!" said Tan.

Old Yang shook his head.

"It's not possible, it's not possible. When we separated the family, we didn't give anything to the third bedroom."

"It's only been a few months? Are you going to ask them for money? I can't open my mouth!" he said.

"The situation is stronger than the people. I am really in a hurry. I have to open my arms even if I can't!"

"Originally, I planned to leave five taels of silver for my daughter to prepare a dowry."

"It's only three taels now, and I feel so uncomfortable. Don't worry about even one cent!"

Tan said.

Hearing this, Old Yang's face darkened.

"If you don't mention that evil obstacle, my anger will rise as soon as you mention her!"

"Isn't it because of her that our family is in this situation?"

"Dowry? Come on, if you bully Wang Shuanzi before you even get in, the marriage will be ruined!" Old Yang said.

Tan said: "If you blow it, I'll pull it down. A family's adopted daughter will be begged by hundreds of families. I'll find someone better than Wang Shuanzi later!"

"You are such a stupid bitch!"

Old Yang was angry.

"If something like this happens, it's okay if you don't teach your daughter, but you still have such a protective attitude!"

"She has been ruined by you. No one from ten miles and eight villages who knows her character dares to take her!"

"If you don't want it, pull it down. I'll stay at home and take care of my daughter!"

Mrs. Tan put the dustpan in her hand heavily to the side, pulled the quilt over her head and went to sleep.

Old Yang was sitting alone on the bed, smoking a cigarette and sighing one after another.

Hey, when it comes to the last resort, I can only open my mouth to the third room!

…

After a long nap, I just ate a bowl of poached egg noodles.
