Chapter 13 They won't believe me even if I say it
"It's done." Old Mrs. Qi was quite satisfied with Zhou Xiaohua. "I was afraid that she would cry, but I didn't expect she was quite sensible."
Old Master Qi took a sip of tea. "It's not her who is sensible, it's her parents. If the girl from the Shui family had not been kidnapped, I wouldn't be willing to carry her in." Old Master Qi could see through Zhou Dalang's parents' tricks at a glance. "I hope her brother is different from his parents."
Old Mrs. Qi’s request is not as high as Old Mr. Qi. “She just needs to serve Ling’er well. As for her parents, if we are willing, we will walk as relatives. If we don’t want to ignore them, we will do it. And her brother, if we like it, let the boss support him. If he doesn’t like it, let the boss do what he should do.”
"Well. Give her more jewelry and let her serve Ling'er well."
"I know. I gave her a jade bracelet this morning."
On the other side, after leaving the Qi family, Shui Jinzhu looked at Old Mrs. Jin and said, "Mom, the Qi family is quite kind."
Old Mrs. Jin glared at Shui Jinzhu. "If the Qi family was kind, they wouldn't have known that our Lianhua had been engaged and asked our Lianhua to cheer for Master Qi."
"this……"
Shui Daxi: "Dad, Qi's family is afraid that others will say they are unkind and unrighteous."
After listening to his son's words, Shui Jinzhu thought about it and understood it. "Mom, what should I do?"
Old Mrs. Jin sighed. "We signed the document with the Qi family. Lianhua is now a member of the Qi family."
Shui Jinzhu: "Grandma, can we find a way to get the documents back from Qi's family?"
"Since the Qi family wants to exchange lotus for a good reputation, they will not return the documents to us. Alas! If I had known this, I would not have agreed to them even if I had fought for this life a few days ago."
Shui Jinzhu: "Mom, you are also for everyone's good."
Shui Daxi: "Yes. Grandma, let's think about how to get the lotus from Qi's family now."
"You go with me to Xue Pozi's house." Xue Pozi is a famous witch in this area.
Shui Jinzhu: "Mom, why do you suddenly want to go to Xue's house?"
Shui Daxi: "Grandma, do you want Mrs. Xue to help us find lotus?"
Old Mrs. Jin nodded. Her family had no money, no one, and could not speak to the government. She could only ask the immortals for the gods.
Shui Jinzhu: "Yes! Why didn't I expect it? Mom, you are still smart!"
Shui Daxi felt that it was useless to find Mrs. Xue. But he had no other way except to find Mrs. Xue.
Shui Jinzhu: "Mom, I heard that Mrs. Xue is so amazing."
"Um."
More than an hour later, Old Lady Jin, Shui Jinzhu and Shui were overjoyed to Xue's house.
Old Mrs. Jin took out twenty copper plates and put them on the table. "Old sister, I want to ask you something."
Mrs. Xue put away the copper plate. "What do you want to ask?"
"I want to ask where my granddaughter is now? Is it... still alive?" Old Mrs. Jin didn't want to ask this, but she had to ask this.
"Have you lost your granddaughter?"
"Um."
"Tell me your granddaughter's birth date."
"good."
After telling Mrs. Xue about the birth date of Shui Lianhua, Mrs. Xue first put three incense sticks of incense on the god she worshipped. Then, Mrs. Xue knelt down and closed her hands and muttered quietly for more than a moment.
After reading, Mrs. Xue kowtowed again before she stood up from the ground.
Shui Jinzhu asked anxiously: "Aunt, where is my daughter now?"
"Your daughter is in the east now. You can find it by looking east."
Old Mrs. Jin: "My granddaughter is now?"
"Your granddaughter is still alive."
Old Mrs. Jin felt a little relieved after several days. "Old sister, can we get my granddaughter back?"
"Not necessarily. Actually, you don't have to look for it at all. Your granddaughter will come back by himself after a while."
Water Jinzhu: "Really?"
"Um."
"That's great!" Shui Jinzhu excitedly held the old lady Jin's hand. "Mom, Lianhua will be back in a few days."
"I heard it." Although Mrs. Xue said that Shui Lianhua came back by herself after a while, Old Mrs. Jin still wanted to find Shui Lianhua back soon. Old Mrs. Jin felt that if they could find Shui Lianhua earlier, then Shui Lianhua would suffer less. "Old sister, how far is my granddaughter from this?"
"I don't know this. If you believe me, then you can just wait at home and feel at ease."
Shui Daxi thought that Mrs. Xue was a lie. But he couldn't bear to make his grandmother and his father worry every day.
When Mrs. Jin heard Mrs. Xue say that Shui Lianhua would come back alive, she wanted to calculate Shui Lianhua's marriage again. "Old sister, I want to ask about my granddaughter's marriage again. How much more do I have to give you?"
"Twenty taels of silver."
Shui Jinzhu: "What? Aunt, are you wrong?"
Shui Daxi: "Grandma, let's go." Instead of giving the witch twenty silver, he might as well take twenty taels of silver to find his sister.
Mrs. Xue looked at Shui and was overjoyed. "Let's go slowly. Don't send me off."
Old Mrs. Jin: "Old sister, he is young. Don't bother with him. Can old sister, be cheaper? You see, we are not rich either."
“It can’t be cheap.”
Now, Shui Jinzhu didn't want to forget it. The father and son couldn't earn twenty taels of silver in a year. "Mom, let's go."
Old Mrs. Jin: "Old sister, I will give you all the money I have. Please help my granddaughter calculate. OK?"
Mrs. Xue shook her head. "You don't have five taels of silver in total."
Shui Jinzhu: "Aunt, five taels of silver are also a lot."
"Twenty taels. A single piece of money cannot be lost."
Shui Daxi: "Grandma, let's go. She doesn't think that five taels of silver are too small. She is..." She can't calculate it. "She doesn't want to calculate it for us."
Mrs. Xue looked at Shui Daxi and said, "Your sister had originally booked a good marriage. It's a pity..."
"Do you know who my sister is?"
"This is my first time seeing you today. Okay, you can go. If you want to calculate, come here with the money. The eldest daughter-in-law will give you a look!"
Shui Daxi: "Grandma, let's go."
Although Mrs. Jin wants to know if her granddaughter can find a good family in the future? But she can't bear to let her spend twenty taels of silver. With these twenty taels of silver, she might as well serve as a dowry for her granddaughter. "Okay. Old sister, then we're leaving."
"Um."
Mrs. Xue's eldest daughter-in-law sent away old lady Jin, Shui Jinzhu and Shui Daxi, and returned to look at Mrs. Xue and said, "Mom, why do you want so much money from them?" Not to mention twenty taels, no one can calculate even two taels.
"Her granddaughter's marriage is quite special. Even if I tell them, they won't believe it."
On the other side, Shui Daxi looked at Old Mrs. Jin and said, "Grandma, I want to go find Lianhua."
"Okay. I'll get you ten taels of silver, and you look east as Mrs. Xue said."
