Pang Yu and the two men quietly walked outside the main hall and secretly looked in through the crack in the window.
At this time, in the main hall of the Pang family, two women were standing in the hall instead of sitting on chairs. The one with her hands on her hips was Pang Yu's cheap mother, "Sister Liu, we have been neighbors for many years. When will I tell you, sister?"
I lied to you. I told you that our Yu'er was fine. The head injury was true, and it didn't hurt as much as you said.
It would be a good idea for you, just at dawn, before the shop has done its first business, you come to the door and talk about it. You are also doing business, so this is the perfect time to choose."
Another woman's voice said, "The head of the house insisted on letting me come, and I couldn't help it. I didn't say anything about Pang Geer's injury. People have said that Pang Yu must have a wound on his head.
We won’t talk about how it was broken.
But the sore on his head caught the wind, and he might have been possessed by a wild ghost. Pang Ge'er's mind was a little uneasy to begin with, but he never had any serious problems, so he could still live a good life.
But after this head injury, I became very nervous when speaking and doing things, and I often said words without any reason.
I shaved my beard yesterday, and I had to ask the shaver to shave my chin cleanly. Who on the street would do this?
I also heard that I wanted to shave my head, but the shaver didn’t dare. Do you want to be a monk or something? I can’t let go of marrying my daughter to him.”
After cursing, Pang Yu touched his bare chin. In the Ming Dynasty, a beautiful beard was indispensable for handsome men, so it was fashionable to grow a beard. The old Pang Yu had one when he was seventeen or eighteen, and it was regarded as a high-quality asset left to Pang Yu.
, but Pang Yu felt quite unhappy when he touched his beard. Yesterday when he went out on the street, he went to a shaver to have it shaved off, which was widely known among the neighbors.
Pang Yu's mother's voice said, "Young men are not old masters, and they can grow their beards as much as they like.
Sister, if you want to break off the engagement, you don’t have to rely on such boring reasons. The engagement is backed by a marriage certificate and there are elders as proof. Everyone in the neighborhood knows it. If you just want to break off the engagement, what do you want the marriage certificate for?"
"Sister Pang, look, we don't want to be wrong, but Brother Pang's mind is getting more and more stupid, and the three relatives and six relatives are gossiping, and the head of my family has little face... This is always unsatisfactory, but the two families have to find someone else, everyone.
It’s all in order.”
Pang Yu laughed when he heard it outside, and Pang Ding next to him said with a flat mouth: "It's shameful to break off the engagement, young master, you can still laugh."
"What's so shameful about breaking off the engagement? Master, I still can't find a wife."
Pang Ding's eyes suddenly turned red, "Our drug store has never made money without conscience, so why do we have to suffer like this? Without the drug store, who would want to marry you? God really doesn't protect good people."
Seeing his true feelings, Pang Yu patted Pang Ding on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, our family will not collapse. God will not protect you, but the young master will."
Pang Ding looked at the confident young master in front of him in confusion, "Master, what can you do?"
"I don't know yet, but Master, I always want to win. As long as you don't give up, hope will always appear."
"So you rob me of my money?"
Pang Yu raised his hand to slap Pang Ding on the head, but heard a loud snap in the hall. I don't know what the cheap lady slapped on, followed by my righteous voice, "Da Ming Lv, you don't just quit the engagement when you say it, your husband's family has five
If you don't marry for many years without any reason, you will be allowed to retire."
Aunt Liu also slapped the table, "Sister Pang, we have been sisters for many years, and we have to discuss with you whether to cancel our engagement. This is violating the Ming Dynasty law.
I know that your brother Pang is a Zaoli, which means he is not a Zaoli. At best, he is a yamen errand, but at worst, he is a servant in each house. My uncle is still working as a clerk in Anqing Mansion.
If you want to talk about this, we have to retreat."
Pang Yu whispered to Pang Ding, "We're going to have a quarrel, so we have to say something, right?"
Ponting nodded affirmatively, "I should say it, but what should I say?"
Under Pang Ding's astonished gaze, Pang Yu strode into the hall, flicked his sleeves according to the posture he imagined, and made a hula. When both women looked over to him, Pang Yu said with a serious look on his face:
"Hmph, don't bully young people into poverty!"
The two women were stunned for a moment, then Aunt Liu said blankly: "You are really stunned, aren't you?"
The cheap lady came to her senses and said, "Young man is so poor. Our old Pang family is much richer than his Liu family."
"What are you talking about? Don't your Pang family just open a herbal medicine shop? My old Liu family's shop earned less than thirty taels in any year. Is it your turn to have money?"
When there was a fire that year, I was the boss who helped you put out the fire and carry medicinal materials. My beard was all burnt, otherwise how could your shop be open today?"
"Didn't our Pang family help you? Every time you were unable to make ends meet, it wasn't our Pang family who helped you. Your life would only have been easier for two or three years, and you would have turned around and stopped recognizing people..." Pang Yu originally thought it was a resounding sentence.
The words had no effect, and the fighting broke out again in the hall, getting even more intense just now.
Since Pang Yu entered the hall, he didn't want to leave now, so he found a seat to sit down, turning his head around, turning to whoever was speaking, and listened with interest to the two women arguing for a quarter of an hour. This was when he came
The most interesting scene I have seen since the Ming Dynasty.
Even the two women's saliva occasionally sprayed on his face could not dampen his interest, and he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Seeing that the battle situation was in a stalemate, the mother-in-law of the Pang family's servant also joined the fighting group, and the battle became fierce in the courtyard.
The cheap lady had the advantage of the home court. With the help of her mother-in-law, the offensive wave became higher and higher, and the home team gradually took control of the situation on the court. The visiting team's Aunt Liu couldn't resist it, so she had to switch from offense to defensive counterattack.
Fight and retreat.
The cheap old woman and her mother-in-law chased her to the gate, creating a situation where two ghosts were beating on the door.
Pang Ding, who was hiding outside just now, saw that the situation was advantageous and came on to help. The Pang family became 3 to 1. Under the cheers of the enthusiastic audience Pang Yu, the home team's wings flew together in the middle to outflank, waiting for the fatal blow from the cross.
The game was approaching stoppage time. The Liu family's aunt was fighting and retreating. The more she played defensively, the more she looked like the national football team. Sure enough, she got confused at the door. She didn't pay attention to her feet for a moment. Her heel was caught by the threshold and she fell out of the door.
Pang Yu shouted excitedly from behind, "One to zero!"
Aunt Liu got up in embarrassment, said "just wait" without even brushing off the ashes, and ran away.
Pang Yu chased to the door in disappointment and shouted to Aunt Liu's back: "Aunt Liu, please slow down, or don't leave until you have eaten."
Aunt Liu turned around and let out a sigh. The Liu family's shop was on the same street. Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding neighbors, Aunt Liu wiped the dust off her butt as she ran, twisted her body weirdly, and quickly turned and disappeared on the road.
Amid Pang Yu's applause, Cheap Mom came back victorious. Pang Yu took a closer look and saw that this old woman had a thin figure and looked like a working woman. Although the weather was sultry now, she was also wearing a dark-colored hard starch cloth with a belt tied around her waist.
Wearing an apron, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and a few strands of hair stuck to his forehead, some of which were already white.
There was no joy of victory on her face, she just looked at Pang Yu kindly, her voice flowed from a high octave to a low octave, as if she was afraid of scaring Pang Yu, she said softly, "Yu'er don't
You need to pay attention to her, the Liu family also sees that our medicine warehouse has collapsed, all the medicinal materials are... gone, the Liu family is such a shameless snobbery."
"Mom, I'm worried."
"You are so worried. This marriage is always arranged by the parents. Don't take Aunt Liu's nonsense to heart. Our old Pang family can survive this."
Pang Yu shook his head seriously and said: "What I'm worried about is that although our Pang family won the first battle, it was at most a victory in the first half. The victory is temporary, but the divorce is for both parties. In the second half, we might have to play away.
Seeing that Aunt Liu’s fighting ability is not weak, she may very well be defeated by the Liu family and become victorious.”
"Our family is on the right side, how can we let her turn defeat into victory?"
"But now our family has been hit by a flood. The goods are gone and cannot be liquidated. There are still debts outside. The capital chain has been broken. The first problem is to solve the problem of funds. Any fixed assets and intangible assets can be liquidated."
Listening to his nonsense, my mother thought that her son had become stupid again, and it was not easy to scold him at this time. She couldn't help but sigh, remembering the recent troubles, she silently picked up her apron and wiped away her tears.
Pang Yu raised her head and said, "Mom, does the daughter of the Liu family look good?"
"Bah, what's so good about her? With her mother like that, she can't give birth to a good-looking child."
"If it doesn't look good, let's find someone else. We can't say that the wife is just for you."
The cheap mom rolled her eyes and glared at Pang Yu, "That's not possible. In the past, when our business was good, they would rush to marry us, and they would quit when they saw bad luck. There is such a good thing.
Even if you want to break off, they don't come to your door to break off the engagement. They dare to say that your brain has been beaten to death. What do you think of our Pang family? In the future, who in the neighborhood will think highly of you."
After saying this, the cheap mother went to the patio to clean up the medicinal materials, while she was still angrily scolding the Liu family. From the first ten years to the next ten years, in short, the Liu family was sorry for the Pang family.
Pang Yu took advantage of her mother's words and quietly slipped out of the door. In a short time, she arrived outside Aunt Liu's store. Aunt Liu was also scolding the Pang family loudly inside. There were two neighbors at the door listening to the excitement. The crowd of onlookers had not yet formed a large scale.
When they saw Pang Yu coming, the two neighbors ran away before Pang Yu could say hello.
Pang Yu went directly from the store to the back. Aunt Liu stopped immediately when she saw Pang Yu and said a little embarrassed: "Brother Yu, you also know that it's not that Aunt Liu doesn't like you, it's just that..." "Aunt Liu
,I understand."
Pang Yu approached Aunt Liu and whispered, "When this happens, any parent would not want their daughter to marry better. I understand that, but my mother also cares about me, and she is not wrong."
When Aunt Liu heard her mother, she immediately glared and was about to get angry. Pang Yu quickly added: "We are all neighbors. Our mother wants to have face. Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu also want to have face. They are making trouble for people to see."
Not only is it a joke, but it also hurts the harmony between the two families. If you get angry again, it will be a good thing. Who wants to see this?"
Aunt Liu sighed and said: "No, I didn't discuss it with your mother. You see her acting like this, and she still wants to talk about the Ming Dynasty law."
"Aunt Liu, let's not talk about the Ming Law and other irrelevant things. In short, you want to break off the engagement, but our mother won't break off the engagement, right? Both parties are not giving in. Continuing the dispute is not an option. The problem must be solved. My nephew has a
Let's discuss the idea..." Aunt Liu looked at Pang Yu, a fool, with doubt on her face, "What should we discuss?"
