Sister-in-law Niu brought Chen Suozhu to pay the bride price.
Of course it was something Li Zhengguo helped prepare.
The bride price was fifty yuan, two pieces of cloth, a pair of chickens, two pieces of dried meat, and two large live fish.
Tian Jing was surprised, "Live fish? Where did it come from?"
Ouyang Lei replied with a smile, "I brought it. I just prepared the ingredients yesterday and brought it in by the way."
"Ingredients? Which ones?"
"Chicken, duck, fish and eggs."
"Meat? Does it smell bad?"
"Hahaha." Ouyang Lei laughed triumphantly, "I knew the girl would be worried about this, so I made it easy for her."
"A pig?"
"No, it's sheep. The leftover meat will smell bad and I won't be happy if it is sold to others. With mutton, dozens of kilograms will be eaten in one go."
Do you eat dozens of kilograms of meat in one go?
Tian Jing looked at Li Zhengguo, "Brother Lei, if you do this, how big will the banquet be?"
Glancing at the nervous Chen Suozhu, Li Zhengguo replied to his wife, "Every family has invited me. Grandpa Chen said he wanted to thank the villagers for their kindness over the years. He also said that he would pay back the money for Brother Lei's ingredients."
Does Grandpa Chen have the confidence to say this?
Chen Suozhu took out a small box from his pocket and pushed it to Ouyang Lei, "Brother Lei, this is the food money my grandfather gave you."
After Ouyang Lei opened it, he glanced at it, then closed it and pushed it to Tian Jing, "The ingredients are given to you and belong to you."
Tian Jing was stunned after opening it, then looked up at the person next to her, "Brother Zheng."
Li Zhengguo closed the box and said, "Just accept it, Brother Lei doesn't like this."
"Okay, thank you Brother Lei."
Tian Jing took the box to the west room as if nothing had happened and came out soon.
After talking about the business, Mrs. Niu apologized to Tian Jing, "Tian Jing, I'm sorry, yesterday..."
Tian Jing waved her hand, "Sister-in-law Niu, I know who you are. You were right not to stand up yesterday. The captain brought people here, and he had no intention of letting those people go. If you stand up, you will cause trouble for your husband's family."
"I'm not afraid." Mrs. Niu expressed anxiously.
"Yes, I understand. You are not afraid, but there is no need, because I am not in danger. I am standing in a reasonable and advantageous situation. The cross-village matter will involve too much, and it will be difficult for you to behave in the future."
"No, Tian Jing, I never think about that."
"So, Brother Niu has thought about it for you. I heard the last conversation between you and Brother Niu. You see, I don't cause trouble, but I still cause trouble. It's because I do things too directly, and it makes people feel profitable."
"It's not obvious to you now. When your wealth becomes rich, you can try it. I'm sure someone will come to ask for an explanation for any trivial matter. In the end, isn't it profit?"
"Just like the 100 yuan and 100 eggs I asked for for Minmin, didn't they all end in profit in the end?"
Sister-in-law Niu was puzzled, "What do you mean, would it be better to be poor?"
"If you are poor, no one wants to be near you. If you are rich, everyone will come to you to talk to you about your relatives and to borrow money from you. If you refuse, they will say that you are rich and unkind. If you don't refuse, everyone will want to take a bite."
Sister-in-law Niu nodded, "That's right, but no one wants to be poor."
"Then find a way to get rich and make those envious people even more jealous."
Tian Jing, who successfully brought up the topic, continued to trick Mrs. Niu into getting rich.
The Li family's lunch was cooked by Li's mother with barley and wheat.
Chicken, fish and meat are all on the table.
Li Zhengguo looked at his wife nervously.
Tian Jing ate fish happily. She had never eaten fish since she came here.
Moreover, eating fish can promote the development of the fetus, so it is suitable for her to eat.
"Mom, this fish is very well cooked and doesn't have any fishy smell at all."
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was not averse to fish at all, Mother Li was relieved, "It's made from barley. Zhao Xiaofang didn't have anything to supplement her during pregnancy. She caught small fish from the Ku River and gave them to her mother to eat."
Everyone at the table turned their attention to Tian Jing.
Tian Jing continued to eat fish, "Eat, what are you watching me do? Zhao Xiaofang is an unlucky person. She has a good husband and a good daughter. She finally escaped from the evil mother-in-law. She is actually more evil than her mother-in-law, and she became a mother-in-law in the future.
Haha, her daughter-in-law will suffer."
"That's not true." Sister-in-law Niu answered, "Just do it as soon as you get your freedom. Rong Guo, thank you for leaving her early, otherwise you would never want to live a peaceful life for the rest of your life. Just wait, sister-in-law, I will keep an eye on you.
I promise to find you a capable and generous wife."
"I don't want to look for it anymore, so I just bring barley and wheat with me. It's pretty good."
Li Rongguo's words made Mother Li anxious. She mentioned Zhao Xiaofang, and this was her plan. Who knew that the niece-in-law of the Niu family had fallen into the trap, but not her own son.
"Why don't you look for her?" Tian Jingke disagreed, "If you don't look for her, that woman will still think that you can't forget her. No matter if she marries a second time or not, she will cause trouble for you."
"Not only do you have to find someone, but you also have to find someone who is refreshing and completely opposite to her personality. Ouyang Lei, you should also pay attention."
Ouyang Lei "..." He is an old bachelor acting as a matchmaker for others?
Facing Daxia Tian's aggressive gaze, the old bachelor nodded, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it too."
Tian Jing was then satisfied, "Regardless of the other party's identity and family background, as long as he is willing to go into the mountains and live a good life, a gift of one hundred or two hundred is enough. My cousin's life will be fine in the future."
Ouyang Lei was immediately interested, "Is the girl planning to take her cousin with her?"
"Nonsense, if Zhao Xiaofang dares to argue with me, I will make her regret it for the rest of her life. By the way, why wasn't she arrested? How were the people arrested yesterday dealt with?"
"Eat, eat," Li Zhengguo served his wife some fish, "say it after the meal."
After the meal, Mrs. Niu told Tian Jing, "Captain Ou took everyone to the commune police station, and the police station immediately put them on trial."
"It's said that Erbo Li's family lost money and went to the Wu family to borrow it. The Wu family's money was also lost. I had no money and wanted to build a house. When I saw you helping Li Rongguo, I thought you were very rich."
"After the last discussion, we took advantage of the Zhao family and brought the Zhao family to your place to extort money. The money we extorted will be divided in half."
"Who knew that the reason for Zhao Xiaofang's divorce was such a disgraceful thing? Halfway through, the Wu family and the Zhao family started to quarrel."
"The police station can only give them a critical report and let them go. As for the person behind the scenes you want, there is no one. The whole thing was discussed by Li Ernie and the Wu family."
Tian Jing sneered, "Sister-in-law Niu, do you believe this result? When my cousin built his house, Uncle Li took the opportunity to replace the beams in his house."
"It stands to reason that since we helped my eldest cousin, Erbo Li's family should have made trouble with my eldest cousin and forced me to lend them money, right?"
"Why did you just set me up like this without even asking? Isn't the persecution by the Wu family and the Zhao family different from their direct persecution?"
"Can someone who is so guilty that he dare not face me come up with such a disgusting trick?"
Sister-in-law Niu pondered, "I felt something was wrong. In the end, I didn't hear that the Wu family and Li Erbo's family reported the crime. Didn't their money go missing? Why didn't you report the crime?"
Tian Jing nodded in agreement, "Yes, such an obvious loophole shows that this matter of losing money is weird. If it is not a lie, it is their money. It may not be money, it may be something that cannot be seen like gold and silver.
, are the Wu family poor peasants?"
Tian Jing guided the idea to Sister Niu, and Sister Niu left with questions.
