Chapter 4: The White-bearded Grandpa

"Master, Pang Ma has gone out to buy groceries."

"Keep an eye on me, young master. When she comes back, shout loudly at the door."

"Master, what are you calling?"

"You idiot, just shout that the lady is back and I will help you get the food."

Pang Ding said fearfully, "Master, you really want to steal the marriage certificate and sell it. Is this how you will never give up?"

"Can you speak? This is not called selling, this is called realizing intangible assets."

"But our family has won every quarrel. If you sell the marriage certificate, Mother Pang will have no physical evidence. What will happen to the Pang family's reputation?

Master, why don't we stop stealing."

"You know what the heck, it's only when you win the argument that you can negotiate the price. Otherwise, Aunt Liu's iron cock can be sold for ten taels. What is reputation? It's only an intangible asset. If the Liu family breaks off the engagement, our intangible assets will become non-performing assets."

Assets, I call them the realization of non-performing assets, solving the major problem of our family’s capital chain being broken. If you don’t understand, please stop talking and get out!”

After Pang Yu scolded Pang Ding, he quietly opened the hall door and entered the bedroom to the left. Based on the information provided by Pang Ding, he quickly found the key under the pillow and opened the door of the cabinet under the bed.

After flipping through it for a few times, he found the marriage document. Pang Yu rummaged for a while and determined that there was only one copy. He immediately locked the cabinet and returned the key to its original place. Pang Yu hurriedly browsed the marriage document and then held it in his arms.

Then I went to Aunt Liu's house.

"Aunt Liu, do you think it's this one?"

Aunt Liu stretched out her hand to take it, but Pang Yu retracted her hand and said, "Aunt Liu, we have agreed that I will not pay you the liquidated damages until I see it."

Aunt Liu pursed her lips, took out a money bag from her arms and handed it to Pang Yu, "Brother Pang, you have been a neighbor for so many years, but you still can't trust Aunt Liu."

Pang Yu weighed it. In fact, he couldn't figure out how much it was, but he said with a very surprised expression, "Aunt Liu, it doesn't seem right, how much do you think it is."

"Ten taels, that liquidated damages you mentioned are not just ten taels."

"Aunt Liu, you are not being kind. I just read the marriage certificate. Our family gave you eleven taels of betrothal gift and a pair of silver bracelets. Since you are not going to execute the contract, we have to tell you and return it first.

Let’s talk about the liquidated damages after the deposit.”

Aunt Liu muttered: "But our daughter has been waiting for you all these years..." "What are you waiting for? Your daughter is going to get married at the age of seven. It's a shame you don't know about the loss of youth fee, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get one."

I still have to compensate you for childhood losses, right? Aunt Liu, please tell me clearly whether you sincerely break off the engagement or want to ask my mother to increase the bride price, and you are not sincere. My nephew, I will turn around and leave. Go back and tell my mother,

Aunt Liu broke off the engagement just to show off, she just thought the money was too little."

Aunt Liu was a little embarrassed, and then she played the bitterness card again, "Look, nephew, we are all old neighbors. Let me tell you, our shop only earns more than ten taels a year in good times.

, look at the liquidated damages of ten taels, our family won’t be able to survive this year, nephew, you can’t let Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu starve, or else it should be less, and you can refund 50 taels to Auntie.”

"I don't believe this. Aunt Liu, you just said in my house that you have never been less than thirty taels in any year. I really heard it. Just when you turned around, you turned into more than ten taels. Aunt, you can't look at it.

You have to take advantage of the food and bully a junior like me.

It's only ten taels of liquidated damages. Could it be that for ten taels of silver, you can push your daughter into the fire pit? You know that I am a fool and you still let your daughter marry me. That will harm your daughter for the rest of her life. Think about it, you are pregnant with a child.

The child has suffered so much, having to poop and urinate every time, how hard it is. Is a girl who is as beautiful as a flower and a beautiful woman worth only ten taels of silver?

To say that this time your nephew's family's medicine store was flooded and the money was gone, I'm stupid and won't say it. This time, it was still injured on the head. There is no guarantee that it will not happen again in the future. I don't want to drag your daughter down either.

Already."

Seeing that Aunt Liu was silent and looking like she was reluctant to give up the money, Pang Yu licked her lips and continued to persuade: "If your daughter can't bear the pain in the future, go back to her parents' house and ask, mother, why did you marry me to a poor and stupid person?

Boy, what do you say, Aunt Liu? Are you reluctant to part with ten taels of liquidated damages? You can't say it.

Even if it is calculated as cash, if you withdraw it here, you will not be able to find a new husband's family, but with the appearance and family background of our Liu family sister, she is still only thirty or fifty taels, so she cannot lose anything to our aunt."

The more Aunt Liu listened, the uglier her face became. She had always been a good talker in the market, but today she was silenced by a fool. Although she was unwilling to accept it, she thought about it and had no words.

He lowered his head and said cruelly: "Ten taels is just ten taels, then we have agreed that all these will be returned to you. When your mother comes to make trouble, you have to be the witness to say that you agreed to break off the engagement."

"Aunt Liu, don't worry. We are the most trustworthy people. I run that company... that store has been rated as a contract-abiding and trustworthy store for three consecutive years. If you don't believe me, ask around. Besides, I'll give you the marriage certificate."

Well, our mother has no credentials, so why would she make a fuss with you? That’s not an unreasonable fuss.

But don’t scream all over the world about me getting you a marriage certificate, so that I can find a way to explain it to our mother."

Aunt Liu made up her mind, turned around and took out a small bag of silver from the house and gave it to Pang Yu. Pang Yu saw that in addition to the broken silver, there was indeed a pair of silver bracelets inside. She immediately put it away with a smile and handed over the marriage certificate.

"Aunt Liu, happy to cooperate."

Pang Yu didn't stop for a second and left Liu's house immediately.

Aunt Liu took the marriage document and read it over and over again. Although she was a little heartbroken, she settled a major event in her heart. She held the marriage document to her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Finally, I didn't hurt my daughter to marry a fool. Oh, it's not right...

...His bargaining method is beyond the reach of a fool. I..."..."Where did he put it? I was looking at it a few days ago."

Pang Yu's mother was walking around in the courtyard muttering.

"Mom, what are you looking for? Do you want my help?"

"No, no, I'm just missing some medicine, so you can rest."

The cheap mom quickly denied it.

My mother lowered her head and looked for it under the dustpan where the medicine was dried. She looked through it one by one, but it was indeed gone everywhere. She was so anxious that she almost fell to the ground.

Pang Yu's cheap dad was also in the courtyard. He was wearing a straight blue suit in the style of a Taoist robe. He had a beard hanging under his square face. Although he was not handsome, he looked very upright. He faced Pang Yu.

My mother said angrily: "What do you do all day long? Just put it in the cupboard. If you have nothing to do, dig it out and look at it. I like to hide something here and there. I can't even find it after hiding it."

My mother said aggrievedly: "This marriage certificate is clearly in the cabinet under the bed...how did I know?"

Pang Yu felt guilty and quickly came out to smooth things over, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Something is missing."

My mother knew that sooner or later she would not be able to hide it, so she said without tears, "The marriage certificate is gone, so it's just a weekday. The Liu family is about to break off the engagement. What will happen to the money from the engagement?"

"Mom, God must want our Pang family to break off the engagement and take back the marriage certificate. I have been dreaming these days. An old man with a white beard told me that I used to be stupid and had bad luck, so I had to

It's God's will to change your family and change your destiny."

The father shook his head and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense again? How can you take your dream seriously? We are at home too. Don't talk nonsense when you go out, otherwise I may not be able to see you."

Pang Yu only took one second to make up the lie, "It's true, mother, look at it.

That old man with the white beard is a god and he taught me how to write in my dream. If you don’t believe me, tell me the names of the medicinal materials and I’ll write them.”

After that, he went to the counter to get a pen and paper, "Mom, please tell me the name of the medicine."

My mother saw that Pang Yu was serious. Although she didn't believe it at all, and she was afraid of spoiling her son's enthusiasm, she had to reluctantly say, "Licorice, lotus leaf, Cao Wu, Polygonum multiflorum."

When she recited Pang Yu, she wrote quickly. He had practiced calligraphy when he was a child, but he was not very good at it, so his writing was crooked.

The father didn't hold out the slightest hope at first, thinking that his son was stupid and sick again. Fortunately, he was at home and no one saw the ghostly painting of peach blossoms. It was not embarrassing outside. He turned around and was about to go out. When he passed by Pang Yu, he happened to see him. After Pang Yu finished writing, there were actually a few words on the table. He quickly went over to take a look, and his mouth slowly opened wider and wider. It turned out that only the two characters "ye" and "wu" were written wrong, and the character "wu" was written as "wu" The character "锟斤拷" still has a certain character, but the character "叶" is ridiculously wrong, and it becomes a "leaf".

Dad can't close his mouth. This son has been stupid since he was a child. He can't even write his own name. Now he can write it with just a swipe of his pen. He only made two mistakes out of nine words. The error rate is only 20%. It's simply a miracle. ah.

My mother can't write, but she usually looked at the prescriptions on the cabinet and saw that Pang Yu's writing was similar to those written by Pang Yu. She couldn't help but feel excited and quickly asked her husband, "How about it?"

Dad's lips trembled and he said to her, "I made two mistakes, but the rest are really correct. How could Yu'er know how to write before? Is it really..." After Pang Yu thought about it for a moment, he realized that what he wrote was all simplification. Of course, there are some mistakes in words, but there are also many correct ones.

He quickly defended, "It's like this. Every time the white-bearded old god comes, it's full of smoke and smoke. Sometimes he can't see the blackboard clearly, it's blurry, so he writes some things wrong, but he remembers them a lot better." , he also taught me math, English and so on... You don’t know, you can take the test later."

My mother said excitedly: "Yu'er, you can see clearly whether the white beard in your dream is a god or a bodhisattva. We can find the right place to offer incense to others!"

The father reprimanded seriously: "Of course you are a god if you have a beard. Bodhisattvas are all monks. How can you have a white beard?

Tomorrow you go to the Taoist temple to burn incense, don't go wrong."

My mother knelt in the courtyard and cried bitterly towards the sky above: "Could it be that God has opened his eyes? Our Yu'er is no longer a fool. He can read and read. The old Pang family will not be destroyed in my hands. My ancestors bless me." !”

Pang Yu opened her mouth. It turned out that she had a stupid son. This mother was still under so much mental pressure. She waited for a while before she came back to her senses. She remembered the end of the divorce and took advantage of her parents' excitement and said quickly: "So then It was God's will that the marriage certificate disappeared. Look, our family has suffered from bloodshed and floods this year. This fate really needs to be changed.

We have to listen to the old man with the white beard and change his relationship to change his luck. It just so happens that the Liu family is about to withdraw, so we let him refund the money..." "If we can't refund the money, just forget it."

The father said a little excitedly, "No amount of money can compare to the enlightenment of my son. From now on, father and your mother will rely on you to support them until the end of their lives."

Since the gods have said it, this marriage must never be renewed. I will tell Lao Liu tomorrow and find a matchmaker to witness it. If the two families find another person to settle the relationship, it will save the gossip among the neighbors."

Pang Yu thought that she had to talk to Aunt Liu, so she patted her chest and said, "I remember there is also a pair of silver bracelets. You don't need to pay the deposit. This betrothal token must be returned. Mom and dad, please wait, I will go with you right now."

Aunt Liu breaks off the engagement and needs to get the bracelet back."

I arrived at Aunt Liu's house in a short time. I just said that my parents agreed, and told Aunt Liu not to mention the sale of marriage certificates, and to just wait patiently for dad to find the right person to go through the formalities.

Aunt Liu's face was not very good, she looked at Pang Yu with suspicion, and she didn't say anything for a long time. Pang Yu didn't know that Aunt Liu suspected that she was not stupid, and had no time to talk to her. When she was about to leave, she saw the west wing room.

The figure on the window flashed for a moment, it seemed to be in good shape, but when I looked closer it was gone.

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 and Dad, I want the bracelet back, and I also returned the eleven taels for the engagement. From now on.

We have nothing to do with the Liu family.

Aunt Liu said that she knew that her family was in the wrong, and she felt sorry for our old Pang family, so she gave us an extra five taels of liquidated damages."

Old Pangtou and his mother looked at the money blankly. Although these more than ten taels of silver could not recover the loss of the medicine warehouse, they really saved the day, as if they were really helping Old Pang's family.

Pang Ding, who knew the truth next to him, couldn't help but said: "The young master has really enlightened himself."

Pang Yu looked at the excited three people in front of him. They were not only happy for the money, but also sincerely happy for Pang Yu. The family began to see hope again, and hope was more precious than money.

He couldn't help patting Pang Ding on the shoulder and said: "I told you that the young master is a person who always strives to win, and difficulties will eventually pass."

Mom and Dad looked at each other and said, "If you can get something back from that tough rooster of Aunt Liu, our Yu'er is really not stupid! Today is July 15th, and our ancestors finally showed up."
