Min Erlang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, dad, I think so too."
Even if he is sincere to Zeng Xiaohui, it does not mean that his sincerity can be abused at will.
When he heard that he was "disabled", he didn't even understand the situation, let alone care about it. Instead, he couldn't wait to cancel the engagement. How could he still care about such a person?
At most I feel a little regretful when I think about it.
As time goes by, it will become indifferent.
Min Erlang asked Min Silang: "Fourth brother, can you tell me what the situation was like at that time?"
Min Silang hesitated slightly and looked at his parents.
Min Xiangming said: "Just tell the truth."
Listening to it as a whole family can be regarded as a lesson learned.
"oh!"
Min Silang then said: "...I told you, I'm pretty lucky. When I went to Zeng's house, I saw Sister Zeng - the girl from the Zeng family sweeping the floor in the yard. I called her out in a low voice and followed her.
It was said that the second brother was here in the willow forest at the entrance of their village. The second brother wanted to see her and ask her a few words. She..."
Min Silang became angry as he said this and sneered: "She refused to go no matter what. She said that her parents would scold her if they found out. She also said that her parents had been paying close attention to her recently and they should call her soon.
, so she can’t go anywhere..."
"I said that the second brother wouldn't delay her for too long. He just asked her a few words. There was no one on the street. She passed quietly and no one would know. She then said it straight... She can't see her again now.
Second brother, otherwise it would be bad if people see her. He also told second brother not to look for her again and not to mention her again in the future. Since the marriage has been canceled, she should not be entangled! Huh, who does she really think she is?
Who bothers her!"
"Second brother, from now on you will definitely find a second sister-in-law who is better than her, so just ignore her!"
Min Erlang smiled: "It's good if I know what's going on. Naturally, I won't have anything to do with their family anymore."
The Jiang family, Min Xiangming and other Min family members were also very angry and comforted Min Erlang one after another.
Minmin rushed over and hugged Min Erlang, raised her little face and looked at her dear brother: "Second brother, don't be angry. We have big Ganoderma lucidum. We bought a lot of delicious food for second brother. Second brother, don't be angry!"
The whole family was so happy!
"Yes, yes, we have a large Ganoderma lucidum! Second brother, second brother, don't you feel better when you think about how valuable the large Ganoderma lucidum is?"
"No," Min Dalang suppressed his laughter, "I can buy you a lot of delicious food if I sell the Ganoderma lucidum!"
Minmin: "Yes, second brother!"
Min Erlang couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, yes..."
The atmosphere at home suddenly became lively again. We didn't go out in the afternoon. We all sat together peeling bamboo shoots and counting the mushrooms.
Thin bamboo shoots are delicious, but they have more shells and less meat, so it takes a lot of effort to pack them up.
The damaged and more mature mushrooms should be picked out and eaten first. It is best to clean the most complete mushrooms from the grass leaves and dirt on them, and place them one by one in an oblate bamboo dustpan to dry.
Minmin was very active in rushing to help. She was selecting mushrooms and drying them, harvesting and drying the bamboo shoots, which kept her very busy!
Of course, she took advantage of it and gained a lot of space in her own system.
Before going to bed at night, Minmin began to take stock of today's harvest.
A total of 59.3 gold coins were harvested, which was a pleasure.
The little guy fell asleep sweetly with a smile on his lips.
Early the next morning, Min Xiangming and Min Dalang rented an ox cart from the village and went to the city to sell Ganoderma lucidum and make a large purchase.
Although the clothes worn by the father and son were washed white, they were very clean and tidy, and they looked clean and tidy, which was not the same as the careless and ignorant group.
After some haggling in the drug store, two Ganoderma lucidum flowers were sold for one hundred taels of silver, which made both father and son extremely happy!
They had a lot to buy today. They first went to the blacksmith shop and bought hoes, rakes, scrapers, hatchets, etc. They also bought a medium iron pot and an iron stove. Ironware has always been expensive.
It cost twenty taels of silver in the shop.
Although I feel a little distressed, farm tools are indispensable to farmers. The ones at home are not enough, so I have to buy them if I have money.
It was about to get warm, and it was time to change into new clothes. Min Xiangming and his son were not good at this, so they only bought ten pieces of fine cotton and two bags of needlework according to Jiang's instructions. After a while, Jiang and the others went to the city on their own.
, buy some different fabrics.
It didn't cost much. A piece of fine cotton cost 150 cents, which could make two sets of adult men's clothes and there was still some leftover. They bought ten pieces for a hundred cents cheaper, and spent a total of 1,400 cents.
In addition to these two items, I spent more than six taels of silver in the drugstore to buy some nourishing medicinal materials.
He also specially sent two taels of silver to Min Sanlang.
Min Sanlang was surprised and refused to take it. Knowing that his family had lost hundreds of taels of wealth, he happily accepted it and told his father and elder brother that they would put some money in the academy from two days before Qingming Festival.
It's a day off and he will go back then.
In addition to these, I also bought thirty chickens that Minmin wanted to raise, fifty kilograms of rice bran, two hundred kilograms of rice, five kilograms of pork, several bones, and other bits and pieces.
In the end, I calculated the total and found that I spent about thirty-two taels today.
Although it was a bit distressing to do the calculations, I didn't waste any money. Everything I purchased was what I needed.
When I thought about it, my family still had seventy taels of property, and I felt more at ease.
"If we save more, we can build a big house with a big yard next year! It's time for our house to be rebuilt!"
"Well, what dad said is, haha!"
Min Xiangming, Min Dalang and his son were happily shopping, but in the village, Mr. Jiang had a quarrel with Mr. Fang next door and even started fighting.
There are no secrets in the village. The news that Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhang came to cancel their engagement spread all over the day.
Of course, this is also due to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yang family next door.
When Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang came, Mrs. Yang originally didn't know about it, but Mrs. Lu decided that the Min family was trying to cheat, so she yelled twice in anger, and Mrs. Yang who happened to be in the yard heard it.
When Mrs. Yang heard that there was a lot of excitement, how could she not like to see it, so she hid outside the door of Min's courtyard, tilted her head, put her ears to the crack of the door, held her breath, and listened attentively.
The voices of the Min family were not loud and could not be heard clearly, but the Lu family had a loud voice and the words they shouted could clearly be heard in Mrs. Yang's ears.
So Mrs. Yang made up a big show in her head, gloated over the misfortune and left with satisfaction.
This was a big deal. The excited old lady Yang took her granddaughter to visit, and the whole village was filled with nonsense...
As a result, Min Erlang was disabled, and the Zeng family wanted to break off the engagement, but the Min family refused. In the end, the Lu family threatened death and the Min family had to agree. The news quickly spread throughout the village.
