There was a chaos at the door of Luo's house. Bai Banxia didn't look at the Li family's mother-in-law at all. He only looked at Luo Xiuer's injuries and saw that only a little skin was broken, so he signaled Qi Zhen to go to Zhang's house first.
"She doesn't need to seek death like this. If she can marry the person she likes, she shouldn't care what others say, right?" Qi Zhen didn't quite understand.
As a modern soul, Bai Banxia doesn't care what others say, but as an ancient person, Luo Xiuer does not.
"She is not alone. She can marry her second cousin regardless of it, but she can't ignore the reputation of the Luo family. People's words are fearful, and everyone's opinions are valuable. Everything will be said to be a mess. In the future, other peers of the Luo family will
It's hard to kiss someone." Bai Banxia explained.
After all, Qi Zhen had lost his memory and didn't know much about these things. He thought about it without saying anything more and jumped away into the distance with her in his arms.
The Zhang family had already heard the news. Niu was sweating anxiously. The second cousin was about to rush to beat the Li family, but was held back by the eldest cousin and uncle.
The second cousin has always been quiet and calm. If he can rush to beat someone, he really cares about Luo Xiuer.
"Banxia, why are you here?" Niu asked in surprise when he saw her.
"I'm just worried about this. I happened to see the situation at the door of Luo's house." She said and looked at her second cousin, "Second cousin, Luo Xiuer has a skin injury. You calm down first."
Zhang Tonglin took a few deep breaths and said, "The Li family has gone too far. If they have anything to do with us, what does it mean to involve a girl?"
Uncle Zhang Renshen also had a dark face and said: "The Li family's debt must be settled, but now we can't go to the Luo family's door to fight with the Li family. Otherwise, what will the Luo family do? To persuade or not to persuade?"
"Yes." Bai Banxia agreed with his uncle's point of view, "That's why Qi Zhen and I came here just to suggest that my aunt and uncle take the gift money and come directly to support Luo Xiuer."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Yes, let's just say that our family likes Xiu'er's talent and filial piety, and also appreciates the Luo family's character."
"What do you think is the appropriate amount of gift money?" Niu agreed. Now the amount is the key.
"Usually the better ones are twelve taels, so let's give fifteen!" Old Mrs. Zhang said through gritted teeth.
But Bai Banxia said, "I have ten taels of silver here. Auntie, take it and use it first. If you take out twenty taels, take it out in front of everyone."
She also used a lot of the silver in her hands for business. She also got six taels from selling wolves in Qi Town recently, and she also got five taels from treating Mr. Zhou. She kept one tael of silver for emergencies, and took the rest first.
I gave it to my second cousin.
"You need money to do business, how can you give it all to us?" Niu immediately shook his head.
"There are six taels of silver in it that Qi Zhen got from hunting wolves. Qi Zhen will build a house in two days, and my cousins can come and help." Bai Banxia said and winked at Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen understood and said, "You guys can use it first, don't be in a hurry to return it."
The Zhang family was touched now. They had also taken Qi Zhen as a relative because they liked Bai Banxia. After all, they were only distant relatives of the Bai family.
But now Qi Town is providing help in times of need, and Zhang’s family will remember this sentiment in their hearts.
"Cousin, Qi Zhen..." Zhang Tonglin opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Finally, he bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
"Okay, auntie, let's go quickly. Mrs. Li passed out just now, and I'm afraid she'll become a monster again when she wakes up." Bai Banxia urged.
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly took another ten taels of silver, put it together with Bai Banxia's ten taels, and handed it to Mr. Niu.
Bai Banxia went out, but Li Liangniang was crying and howling at the door of Luo's house. Li Liang was so frightened that she ran to find a doctor.
"I don't want to live anymore! My son has been led astray by the boys from the Luo family. He talks about our own relatives like this. His child is so heartless that he is being taken advantage of." Li Liangniang sat next to her unconscious mother-in-law, crying and slapping her.
road.
It was no longer easy to end at this point. She would not admit what Li Liang said even to death, so she simply said that it was her son who was instigated by Luo Ping. Anyway, the young man didn't have any good intentions.
Xiu'er's hands trembled with anger, and she pointed at her and said, "After all this, why are you still telling lies with your eyes open? You can blame children for everything, do you still want to be shameless?"
The onlookers were talking a lot. Some people believed Li Liang's statement, but others wondered whether his family members had been exposed and whether there might be something else going on.
"The Li family has gone too far. How can they still have the nerve to make trouble in front of Renluo's house?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Li Liang is so young. He was coaxed into not being able to protect himself. How could he make his grandma angry to death? How unfilial!"
"If you still say something even though you know it's unfilial, you definitely don't want to violate your conscience. Anyway, I believe what Li Liang said."
"..."
People holding two views were arguing fiercely, and suddenly someone shouted: "The Zhang family is here!"
At this moment, everyone suddenly became quiet. Many people came from the Zhang family. Could it be that they were here to fight?
Niu held her head high and did not look at Li Liangniang who was crying on the ground. She walked over and held Xiuer's mother's hand.
"Mother Xiu'er, I have wronged you." Niu's words came from the bottom of her heart. In any case, the Li family's targeting of the Luo family was related to their proposal of marriage.
Meeting Niu's caring eyes and being held by her rough but warm hand, Xiu'er Niang felt warm in her heart and burst into tears.
Mrs. Niu hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and then said: "What we like is your Xiuer's character and filial piety, and we also appreciate the kindness and simplicity of the Luo family. If there weren't so many things at home, we should have come to propose marriage earlier."
Already."
She opened the cloth wrapping the silver and exposed the twenty taels of silver for everyone to see.
"There are many people today, so we will propose marriage in public. This child Xiu'er is particularly outstanding. The ordinary gift is not worthy of her. Our Zhang family is willing to give twenty taels of gold as a gift." After finishing speaking, Mr. Niu added, "But I am not forcing you.
You must agree, even if you don't choose our family in the end, the friendship is here and it will never affect the friendship between our two families."
The onlookers were in an uproar. Twenty taels of silver, although it was all scraps of silver that had been saved, but it was a real twenty taels. There were really not many girls in these ten miles and eight villages who had such a high gift.
Bai Banxia went over and took Luo Xiuer's hand and said, "I know some medical skills. Let me give you some medicine first."
"Thank you." Luo Xiuer's eyes were swollen from crying. She had not yet recovered from the shock of the twenty-tael gift, so she agreed blankly.
"It hurts a bit, please bear with it for now." After Bai Banxia finished speaking, he took an alcohol cotton ball to disinfect her. Luo Xiuer gasped in pain and then came back to her senses.
She looked at Bai Banxia and remembered that Zhang Tonglin said that his family just bought the forest land and didn't have much money, so they might not be able to give much as a gift.
We all live in the same village, and everyone knows each other's situation well, and she also understands the Zhang family's difficulties.
But now Mr. Niu actually came out with twenty taels of bride price. It was obviously the girl in front of him who brought the money.
