Chapter 4: The White-bearded Grandpa
"Young Master, Ma Pang is out to buy vegetables."
"Stay it to the young master. When she comes back, you shout at the door."
"Young Master, what are you calling?"
"You stupid guy, I'll shout that your wife is back and I'll help you get the food."
Pang Ding said frightenedly, "Young Master, you really want to steal a marriage book to sell it. Is this the way you will never give up?"
"Can you speak? This is not a seller, this is called the realization of intangible assets."
"But our family won the quarrel. If you sell your wedding book, Pang's mother will have no physical evidence. What should I do if the Pang family's reputation is?
Master, why don’t we steal it.”
"You know, it's easy to negotiate when you win. Otherwise, Aunt Liu's iron rooster can get ten taels? What is her reputation? It's only considered intangible assets. If the Liu family breaks the engagement, our intangible assets will become non-performing assets. I call it non-performing assets monetization. To solve the major problem of our capital chain breaking. If you don't understand, talk less, get out!"
After scolding Pang Ding, Pang Yu quietly pushed open the main hall door and went into the bedroom to the left. Based on the information provided by Pang Ding, he quickly found the key under the pillow, and then opened the cabinet door of the cabinet under the bed.
After a few casual glances, he found the wedding book. Pang Yu searched for a while and confirmed that there was only one. He immediately locked the cabinet and returned the key to the original place. Pang Yu hurriedly browsed the wedding book, then put it in his arms and went to Aunt Liu's house.
"Aunt Liu, do you think this is the book?"
Aunt Liu reached out and took it. Pang Yu retracted his hand and said, "Aunt Liu, we have agreed. I will give it to you when I see the liquidated damages."
Aunt Liu flattened her mouth and took out a purse from her arms and handed it to Pang Yu, "For so many years, you can't believe Aunt Liu."
Pang Yu weighed it, but he couldn't weigh much at all, but he said in surprise with a rich look, "Aunt Liu, it seems wrong, how much are you."
"Ten taels, what liquidated damages you mentioned are just ten taels."
"Aunt Liu, you are not kind anymore. I just read the wedding book. Our family gave you an eleven tael of betrothal gift back then, and a pair of silver bracelets. Since you don't execute the contract, we have to say something. First, refund the deposit and then talk about the liquidated damages."
Aunt Liu stubbed and said, "But our daughter is waiting for you for years..." "What are you waiting for? Is your daughter going to get married at the age of seven? It's a blessing that you don't know the loss of youth, otherwise you won't have to cover childhood losses, I have to pay you money, right? Aunt Liu, just tell my nephew, you sincerely break off the engagement or want my mother to add a betrothal gift. I'm not sincere. My nephew turned around and left, and went back to tell my mother that Aunt Liu pretended to break off the engagement, but she thought it was too little."
Aunt Liu was a little embarrassed, and then played the card of misery again, "Nephew, look, we are all old neighbors, and I won't hide it from you. Our shop will only earn more than ten taels a year when the year is good. Look at the penalty for liquidated damages, our family can't live this year. Nephew, you can't let Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu go hungry, otherwise it's less, and it won't be refunded to Aunt 50%."
"I don't believe this. Aunt Liu said at my house just now that he has been thirty taels apart in every year. I can't hear it really. You'll become more than ten taels after turning around. Aunt, you can't watch the food and bully me, the younger generation.
It's just a penalty for liquidated contract. Can you push your daughter into the fire pit for ten taels of silver? Even though you know I'm a fool, you still let your daughter marry me. That will hurt your daughter for the rest of your life. Think about it, how much sin you suffer from a child? It's so hard to get rid of a shit and a pee. Is it worth ten taels of silver?
If you say that this time your nephew is soaked in the medicine warehouse, the money will be gone. I won’t say it anymore. This time I’m still hurting you. It’s hard to protect you from the rest of the day. I don’t want to drag your daughter down.”
Seeing Aunt Liu silent, Pang Yu licked his lips and continued to persuade, "If your daughter can't stand the suffering in the future, she will go back to her parents' home and ask, "Mom, why did you marry me a poor and stupid boy? What did you say, "Aunt Liu, do you say that you can't bear the penalty for liquidated damages of ten taels? You can't say it.
Even if it is cash, if you return here, you can't find a new husband's family. With the appearance of our Liu family, you can't even lose 30 or 50 taels, and you can't lose money to our aunt."
The more Aunt Liu listened, the ugly her face became. She was always very eloquent in the street market. Today, she was speechless by a fool. Although she was unwilling to accept it, she had no words after thinking about it.
He lowered his head and said cruelly: "Ten taels are ten taels, then we have agreed to pay back all these. In the future, your mother comes to cause trouble, and you have to be a witness to say that you have agreed to break the engagement."
"Aunt Liu, don't worry, we are the most trustworthy person. I will run that company... That store has been rated as a store that values contracts and keeps trustworthy for three consecutive years. If you don't believe it, you can ask for it. Besides, you have given you a wedding letter. If our mother has no evidence, why are you making trouble for you? That's unreasonable.
But if I get you a wedding book, don’t yell around the world, I’ll find a way to explain to our mother.”
Aunt Liu made up her mind and turned around and took out a small bag of silver from the house and gave it to Pang Yu. When Pang Yu saw that there was indeed a pair of silver bracelets inside, she immediately put them away with a smile and handed over the wedding book.
"Aunt Liu, happy cooperation."
Pang Yu did not stop for a second and immediately left the Liu family.
Aunt Liu read the wedding book repeatedly. Although she felt a little heartbroken, she was a big deal in her heart and held the wedding book on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "I finally didn't hurt my daughter to marry a fool. Oh, it's not right... His bargaining method is not like a fool can do it. I..."... "Where did it go? It seemed like it a few days ago."
Pang Yu's mother was muttering in the patio while walking everywhere.
"Mom, what are you looking for? Do you want me to help?"
"No, no, there is a little medicine, so you can rest."
Cheap mom quickly denied it.
My mother looked down under the dustpan of the medicine drying medicine, and flipped through it one by one, and it was indeed gone everywhere. She felt anxious and fell to the ground.
Pang Yu's cheap father was also in the courtyard. He was wearing a blue straight body in the style of Taoist robe, and a beard was hanging under his square face. Although he was not handsome, he looked very upright. He said angrily to Pang Yu's mother: "What do you do all day long? It's fine to keep it in the cabinet. You can find out what you have to do. On weekdays, you love to hide something here and there, so you can't find it in the end."
My mother said aggrievedly: "This wedding book is clearly in the cabinet under the bed...how did I know?"
Pang Yu felt weak and quickly came out to smooth things over. "Mom, what's wrong? What's missing?"
My mother knew that it would be impossible to hide it sooner or later, and she said in tears, "The marriage letter is gone, it's okay on weekdays. Just as the Liu family was about to break the engagement, what should I do if there is so much money for engagement?"
"Mom, I must have God ask our Pang family to break the engagement and take back the marriage letter. I have been dreaming these days. A white-bearded old man told me that I used to be stupid and had bad luck, so I had to change my luck with another family. This is God's will."
The father shook his head, "Isn't it nonsense? How can you take the dream seriously? You are at home. Don't talk nonsense when you go out, otherwise you may be able to see you."
Pang Yu made up a lie in just one second, "Really, mom, look at it."
The white-bearded old man is a god. He taught me to write in his dreams. If you don’t believe me, I will write the name of the medicinal material.”
After saying that, he went to the counter to get paper and pen, "Mom, tell me the name of the medicine."
Seeing that Pang Yu was serious, my mother didn't believe it at all, and was afraid of discouraging her son's excitement, so she had to force herself, "Licorice, lotus leaves, grass black, Polygonum multiflorum."
She read Pang Yu and wrote quickly. He had practiced calligraphy when he was a child, but he was not very proficient and wrote it in a crooked manner.
My father didn't have any hope at all, thinking that his son had a stupid illness again. Fortunately, he was at home, and no one saw the ghost painting Taohu. It was not that he was embarrassed outside. He turned around and was about to go out. When he was passing by Pang Yu, he happened to see Pang Yu finishing writing. There were actually a few words on the desktop. He hurried over and took a look. His mouth slowly became wider and wider. There was only the two words "ye" and "wu" were written incorrectly. The word "wu" was written in Wu, and there was still a line, but the word "ye" was outrageously wrong, becoming "ye".
My father couldn't even close his mouth. This son has been stupid since he was a child and could not even write his own name. Now he has just written it. Moreover, he only missed two of the nine words, and the error rate is only 20%. It's a miracle.
My mother can’t write, but after reading the prescriptions on the cabinet, she saw that Pang Yu wrote them almost the same as those, and she couldn’t help but feel excited and asked her husband, “How are you doing?”
The father said to her with trembling lips, "I wrote two wrong words, but the others are really right. Yu'er did not write before? Could it be..." Pang Yu knew that what he wrote was simplified words, so he was naturally wrong, but there were also many right ones.
He quickly defended himself, "That's right. Every time the white-bearded old god comes, he is surrounded by clouds and clouds. Sometimes he can't see the blackboard clearly and is vague, so he writes some mistakes, but he has also remembered it much better. He also teaches me mathematics and English... You don't know, so you can take the exam later."
My mother said excitedly: "Yu'er, you can see clearly. Is this white beard in your dream a god or a Bodhisattva? It's easy for us to find the right place to burn incense for others!"
The father scolded seriously: "Of course a beard is a god, and a Bodhisattva is a monk, so there is no white beard.
Tomorrow you go to the Taoist temple to burn incense, don’t go wrong.”
My mother knelt in the courtyard and cried toward the sky above, "Is it God's eyes open? Our Yuer is no longer a fool. She can read and recognize words. The Pang family will not be broken in my hands. Bless my ancestors!"
Pang Yu opened his mouth wide and found that there was a silly son. His mother was still under such great mental pressure. After waiting for a while, she came to her senses. She remembered the tail of breaking off the engagement and hurriedly said with excitement from her parents: "So the marriage letter is gone, it is God's will. Look, our family has suffered a bloody disaster and a flood this year. This fortune really needs to be changed.
We have to listen to the old man in the Whitebeard and change his fortune. The Liu family is going to withdraw, so we let him withdraw the money..." "If you really can't withdraw the money, forget it."
The father said excitedly, "No money can compare to my son. My father and your mother will rely on you to support her in the future.
Since it was said by the gods, this relative must not be married again. I will tell Lao Liu tomorrow and find someone to witness it. Even if the two families find each other, they will not be able to settle the matter, so that they will avoid the rumors among the neighbors.”
Pang Yu thought he had to talk to Aunt Liu, and slapped his chest and said, "I remember there is a pair of silver bracelets. You can don't have to pay for the money. This token of confidence must be returned. Parents, wait. I will go to get the bride to Aunt Liu now and have to get the bracelet back."
After a moment, I arrived at Aunt Liu's house. I just said that my parents agreed and told Aunt Liu not to mention selling wedding books, and just wait for my father to find a senior citizen to complete the procedures.
Aunt Liu's face was not very good, and she looked at Pang Yu with a skeptical face. After watching for a long time, she didn't say anything. Pang Yu didn't know that Aunt Liu suspected that she was not stupid, so she didn't have time to pay attention to her. When she turned around and was about to leave, she saw a flash of figure on the window of the west wing. It seemed that she had a good figure. She paid attention to it and disappeared again.
After returning to his home, Pang Yu took out the bracelet and silver hidden on his body, and said to the old couple with a smile, "Mom, I have brought the bracelet back and returned all the eleven taels of engagement. From now on, we will have nothing to do with the Liu family.
Aunt Liu said that she knew that her family was in a disadvantage and felt that she was sorry for our Pang family, so she would give us an extra five taels of liquidated damages."
Old Pangtou and his mother stared at the silver. Although the more than ten taels of silver could not recover the losses in the medicine warehouse, they were really anxious to save them, as if God was really helping the Lao Pang family.
Pang Ding, who knew the truth next to him, couldn't help but say, "Young Master is really enlightened."
Pang Yu looked at the three excited people in front of him. They were not only happy for Yinzi, but also sincerely happy for Pang Yu. The family began to see hope again. Compared with Yinzi, hope is more precious.
He couldn't help but pat Pang Ding on the shoulder and said, "I told you that the young master is a person who will always win, and difficulties will always pass."
My parents looked at each other, "Our Yuer is really not stupid if you can get the things back from Aunt Liu's iron cock! Today is July 15th, and the ancestors finally appeared."
