Zhuang San told Niu Dan before that no matter what method is used, as long as the wedding documents are brought over on the day of the wedding, it will disturb the wedding.
After this was done, all he had to do was stack three stones outside his courtyard door, and he would wait in the woods outside the village in the evening, and he would naturally pay the promised money.
He was afraid that Niu Dan wouldn't agree, so he paid a deposit of three hundred cash in advance, saying that he wanted to thank him for his help and bought some wine first.
The villagers are getting married, and everything in the village is festive and lively. Only the two small courtyards of Zhuang Er and Zhuang San are too quiet.
"Mom, we really don't want to go?" Zhuang Sanshi was sincere. At this time, she was still asking Mrs. Qian if she wanted to come and have a look. After all, she was her own granddaughter.
"Go, go, go by yourself. Don't take me with you. I will embarrass myself!"
Mrs. Qian couldn't be bothered to deal with this brainless second son.
Zhuang Er was beaten hard and had nothing to say even after touching his nose. Who told him that this was his mother? But as for his sister-in-law, he felt really sorry.
Hey, forget it, why don't you bring something in private in two days to congratulate me? It's better not to make my mother angry again.
The family drank porridge and pickles in the morning, and then the men went to the fields and the women did housework, each busy with their own duties. When the wedding team arrived at noon, Shoji straightened up in the field and took a look from a distance.
I can't see clearly, but it looks impressive when I'm riding a horse.
It was almost late, and the whole family gathered around the table to eat. Zhuang Er thought about what he saw at noon, and talked about it as a new thing, but was blocked by Mrs. Qian again.
No one in the family dared to offend the old lady, so they all lowered their heads and ate the multigrain porridge. They had to look at the old lady's eyes before even holding out their chopsticks to pick up some pickles.
But Mrs. Qian can't think of eating at this time.
A few days ago, San'er said that he had a way to disrupt the marriage, but he just needed some money to work on it.
She didn't agree at first, how could she not make any money, but instead she threw money into it first?
"My dear mother! You're still reluctant to part with that tenth of a cent at this time. If their marriage doesn't work out and they have tofu recipes later, we won't be able to pay for it!"
After all, it was the goods on the cart from the field seller that had such a big impact on Mrs. Qian. She closed her eyes and hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind and asked, "How much do you want?"
"I made an agreement with my colleagues to give you five hundred coins first, and then I'll pay the rest when the deal is done." Zhuang San knew that the old lady meant that she was willing to pay, so she gave her five hundred coins as soon as she opened her mouth.
Mrs. Qian is rich. Before the split, all the big and small accounts of the banker were put under her control. After the split, all the money earned in the second house and the house was handed over to her. Over the years, she has
She also saved a small amount of ten coins. But if she was asked to take out five hundred coins in one go, it still hurt like cutting flesh.
"Why does it cost so much? Won't I have to pay more later!"
"Mom, the money will give you a son later, so don't worry about it." Zhuang San stretched out his hand to beat Mrs. Qian's leg, "If it doesn't work, you can give your son three hundred yuan first, and I will make up for it. In short, as long as this thing is done
Well, then we will have a reason to get involved in Widow Qin’s business in the future."
In the end, Mrs. Qian paid 300 yuan, but when she asked her son what plan he had in mind, he didn't tell her. He only said that it would definitely work, so that she could rest assured.
"Mom, why don't you eat?"
Zhuang Er found that his mother was absent-minded after eating, thinking that her niece was having a wedding today and didn't invite her, so she felt unhappy.
Unexpectedly, the old lady threw the bowl on the table like she had ordered firecrackers, pointed at her nose and started scolding him for not having a brain and not being able to speak. If he hadn't annoyed Widow Qin before, there would be no need to bother him now.
Zhuang Er was confused by what he said.
What's so troublesome about this? If my mother can't save her face to congratulate her, then he can just go and say it beautifully.
Mom, what's wrong? Something has been wrong since early in the morning.
Little did Zhuang Er know that his mother had given her third brother three hundred coins, and now that the critical moment had come, she had gone back on her word, so she was very angry and scratching her heart.
However, the old lady scolded others, so there was nothing she could do about it at this time. She had given the money a long time ago, and now she just hoped that nothing would go wrong.
Zhuang San also had a hard day.
He didn't even get off the ground at home, and he was completely distracted, like a wandering ghost.
My daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu, felt her belly bulge. Seeing that the man did not go out to work or do anything at home, he just sat in a daze, and she felt angry all the way up her throat.
She didn't curse directly, she only smashed pots and bowls, and cleaned the stove and made banging noises. But just like that, Zhuang San didn't seem to hear her, and didn't even look at her.
Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she raised her belly and stood directly in front of the man, "I said, have you lost your soul or something today? Who are you going to show yourself to by showing yourself to death at home?"
But where is Zhuang San's mind? Since the morning, he has been thinking about whether this matter will be possible today.
It's almost late now, and there's still no movement from the banker. Could it be that that kid just took the money and did nothing?
When Wu saw that the man ignored her at all, she became even more angry. She stretched out her index finger and poked the man's forehead, and her voice became shrill, "The ground is not even falling. How about waiting for God to feed you?"
Zhuang San had a lot of things on his mind and was very irritable, but his wife lost her temper again at this time, and her speech was so unpleasant that he couldn't bear it anymore.
Why does he want to get involved in this tofu business? Isn't it because he wants to get more money so that he can live a better life? Mrs. Wu has always disliked him for being a farmer, and she always mentioned it in front of people before her father proposed marriage.
If you become a scholar and so on, do you think he is dead?!
"If this little brat comes out and sees how useless his father is, I'm afraid he will be so ashamed that he can't wait to crawl back into my mother's belly!"
Wu became more and more energetic as she spoke, her voice so high and shrill that the birds on the surrounding branches were frightened away.
Zhuang San couldn't bear it anymore and stood up quickly.
"Shut up," he said.
"What did you say?"
Wu was shocked. She was stunned. She couldn't believe that a man would speak to her in such a tone. At this time, she didn't even react, so she maintained a funny posture with her arms akimbo and belly stretched out.
"Shut up!"
Zhuang San was condescending, with some bright red bloodshot eyes as he gritted his teeth and roared out.
Mrs. Wu is used to being domineering at home, and her men usually coax her and coax her, but how could she ever be so cruel?
She was immediately frightened and took a step back. As a result, her feet staggered and she lost her balance, and she sat down on the ground.
My stomach hurts terribly.
Zhuang San immediately regretted the attack. Seeing his wife retreating with a frightened expression, he felt a little soft. He wanted to give her a hand, but suddenly felt that he shouldn't be so doting on this woman, so he just crossed his arms and watched coldly.
Unexpectedly, just this moment caused the one-month-old pregnant woman to fall to the ground.
Wu sat on the ground, her face instantly turned pale, and she couldn't say anything about the pain. She could only bite her lip and suppress a groan.
Only then did Zhuang San feel that something was wrong. He immediately stepped forward and tried to help his wife up, but she couldn't even stand up. He had no choice but to grab Wu's knees, lift her up into the house, and put her down.
Go to bed.
But when he pulled his hand away, he realized that his sleeves were wet. When he looked closely, he saw blood soaking through his clothes!
This this!
Zhuang San was completely panicked.
My wife is about to give birth?
But it’s clear that the day hasn’t come yet!
Could it be that he was just...
The sound of his wife's painful gasping could be heard in his ears, and his hands were dripping with blood. At this time, Zhuang San had no intention of thinking about anything else, so he just asked Wu to wait at home while he went to call someone.
It was getting dark, and Zhuang Er's family had already finished dinner and had gone to bed. But before going to bed, they heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who?"
Old man Zhuang lazily got out of bed, stretched his neck and asked.
"I, San'er!"
When Mrs. Qian heard that it was Zhuang San, she thought it was done. She jumped up from the bed and rushed out of the house to open the door before the old man could.
"How's it going? Is it done?"
Zhuang San was very confused. Now he needed someone to take care of his wife at home, so he went to find Po Wen. He didn't know what his mother was mumbling, but she kept saying, "Hurry up, it's too late, it's too late!"
There was a lot of movement at the door, and Zhuang Er also heard it. He followed him out, and saw his third brother being pulled by his mother, unable to speak clearly.
"Second brother, hurry up and go to my house with your second sister-in-law. My wife is about to give birth! I have to find Po Wen!"
Only then did Mrs. Qian realize that Zhuang San was not here for that matter, and she was quite disappointed. She muttered and looked unhappy, "It's just a baby, why are you in such a hurry."
Zhuang San looked at his own mother in disbelief for saying such a thing, but now that the situation was too urgent, he couldn't care less. He pulled away the old lady and grabbed his hand, took Zhuang Er and left.
