At the window, Xing Rui watched the old lady of the Xing family cut into her waist and started to curse while standing in the yard.
Carpenter Hu also stopped what he was doing when he heard the sound.
"Master Hu, do your work, I'll go out and take a look."
Carpenter Hu was a man of few words, and he was not a person who liked to join in the fun. Xing Rui walked out and he continued to work with his head down.
"You idiot, get out of here, get out of here..."
"mother……"
Xing Min walked out of the house after hearing the shouting.
"You still call me mother? Bah..."
With a loud sound, Xing Min was so frightened that she didn't even dare to come over.
Ever since I worked with my eldest sister and took back the money, my mother has not scolded myself like this for a long time. What is this now?
"Cough cough cough..."
Xing Rui walked out of the house on one side and coughed twice, which naturally attracted the attention of the old lady of the Xing family.
When she saw Xing Rui walking out of the blue brick house, she was not polite and directly pointed her hand and cursed,
"You big fool, now you want to take care of everything? Tell me, did you arrange the matter between Xing Min and the mason?"
Xing Rui was surprised just now. What happened to the old lady of the Xing family who had been quiet for many days?
When she said this, Xing Rui immediately understood that matchmaker Liu was really fast in doing things. She went to Xing's house to propose marriage so quickly.
"Aren't you in a hurry to marry Xing Min? It just so happens that Xing Min and the stonemason have an eye for each other, so you can just be a favor and settle the matter."
"I bother……"
The old lady of the Xing family sprayed air out of her leaky teeth, just like the spout of a watering can, spraying everywhere.
"It's not your turn to tell me who Xing Min marries. A stinky stonemason whose whole family is dead still wants to marry my daughter. It's a good idea."
With that said, the old lady of the Xing family shouted to Xing Min who did not dare to come over,
"Damn girl, listen to me, I'm here to tell you, and this big fool, I have the final say in your affairs.
I've also chosen the person for you. We've agreed on a gift from the next village. Thirty taels of silver are wrapped around a pair of silver bracelets for me.
The bride price will be given in the autumn, and when Erhe gets married this year, it will be yours during the New Year."
"No, I won't marry anyone except the little stonemason. Just give up on this idea."
Xing Rui was surprised, when did the old lady of the Xing family decide on this marriage? Matchmaker Liu would definitely tell her if she knew it.
"Bah, you little bitch, I have the final say in this family's affairs, it's not her turn to make the decision as a fool."
"I won't marry, I won't marry, even if I die, I won't marry anyone else... Wuwuwu..."
Xing Min howled to vent his anger and looked at Xing Rui for help.
"The stonemason offered fifty taels of silver as a bride price, will you marry Xing Min?"
As soon as Xing Rui said these words, the eyes of the old lady of the Xing family widened. She had been clenching her teeth in her mouth for a long time, and her eyes glowed blue.
"Okay, fifty taels of silver is slapped in front of me, and I will marry him immediately."
"Okay, you said this, so please go home and wait. If you come to my place and yell, don't blame me for throwing you out."
"snort……"
The old lady of the Xing family snorted without saying anything. She raised her feet and glared at Xing Min and Xing Rui fiercely before leaving.
"Sister, fifty taels? Where is the mason going to get fifty taels of silver?"
The tears in Xing Min's eyes were still rolling, and she ran towards Xing Rui.
"Didn't you say that he has sixty or seventy taels of silver in his hand?"
Xing Rui looked at Xing Min deliberately and asked.
"There are sixty or seventy taels of silver, but he still wants to buy a house, so that's not enough, eldest sister."
Xing Min's feet were trembling anxiously, wishing he could conjure up a lot of money at once.
"First, collect your mother's fifty taels and get her to agree to your matter. If he doesn't work for the village, can he still settle some money?
I'll talk to Shui Lan when the time comes and buy the house first.
Doesn’t he still have land and a house at home? If they are all sold, why can’t he get the money to buy the land?”
"Sister, the mason's family doesn't have much land, and his house is in dilapidated condition. He says he can't sell it for much, what should we do?"
This mason is really a real person. It seems that he has told Xing Min everything.
"Don't worry about the other things for now. Go find the stonemason and ask him to give Mom the fifty taels of silver first. Sister Shui Lan and I will discuss the matter of the house and the land to give you a break."
After hearing what the eldest sister said, Xing Min stopped paying attention and could only nod his head and said,
"Then I'll go find him."
Xing Rui nodded, Xing Min wiped his face with his sleeves and hurried out.
Shi Guangtian was shirtless, turning the big hammer in his hand, hitting it with a bang bang once for thirty and twice for fifty, when he heard someone shouting at him from behind.
"Guangtian, that girl is here to find you."
Shi Guangtian suddenly stopped the big hammer in his hand, turned around and saw Xing Min running over with a blush on his face, and was very surprised.
But he immediately dropped the big hammer in his hand, and just as he was about to run over, he realized that he was shirtless.
He hurriedly ran back, pulled his clothes off the stone, put them on hastily, and then rushed towards Xing Min.
"Why are you here? I see how sweaty you are from running around."
Shi Guangtian wanted to reach out and wipe Xing Min's hand, but when he stretched out his hand, he found that it was covered with dust and quickly took it back.
"I have something urgent to come to see you for."
Xing Min gasped because he ran all the way here.
His cheeks were red, his back was soaked with sweat, and the sweat on his face was dripping.
Shi Guangtian looked distressed and didn't care about anything else. He took Xing Min's hand and ran towards the shade.
"Drink, I'll get you some water."
"Don't drink,"
Xing Min quickly grabbed him.
"Little mason, my mother went to my sister's house and scolded her."
When it comes to his mother, Xing Min doesn't hide it now.
"Actually, my mother is a person who doesn't like daughters. She treats my sister and I as money-making tools, and sells the money so that she can get a wife for her son.
But as soon as she heard about me and you, she immediately got angry and scolded my eldest sister. She was the one who instigated us.
She also said that she had found a man from the next village for me, and he promised to give her a gift of thirty taels, plus a pair of silver bracelets."
"Xing Min, you won't stop marrying me, right?"
When Shi Guangtian heard this, he became anxious and quickly grabbed Xing Min's hand and looked at her.
"I want to marry you, but my mother only recognizes money and not people. What should I do?"
Although Xing Min was anxious, she was not stupid. She wanted to see what this man would say?
If he refuses to spend more money, then there is no need to marry him.
If he is really willing to spend fifty taels of silver, even if he asks for a big meal in the future, she, Xing Min, will follow him for the rest of her life.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I'll give him thirty taels of silver and a pair of bracelets, isn't he? I'll give him fifty taels, is that okay?"
"Little mason, have you thought about it? For fifty taels, all the silver in your hand is gone?"
Xing Min was moved and tears welled up in her eyes.
