Chapter 4686 There is another idea
Yang Ruoqing quickly spoke to Yang Huazhong, and Yang Huazhong quickly stood up and walked to the door of the house.
"Brother Xiang, why are you here? Come in quickly!" Yang Huazhong greeted enthusiastically.
The cattle dealer smiled and said: "I heard that Feng Tang and Chen'er will be leaving in two days. This is homemade beef jerky. Send some for them to take out to eat."
While the cattle dealer was talking, Xiang Shengnan had already delivered the things he was carrying to Yang Huazhong's hands.
Sun and Xiaoduo both heard the noise and came over. Xiaoduo came over hurriedly. She said hello to the cattle dealer first, and then said to Xiang Shengnan: "Brother Shengnan, just give me the things. I'll carry them."
Go to the backyard.”
Xiang Shengnan said: "I'll help you carry it."
The two young men went to the backyard together.
Here, Yang Ruoqing said to the cattle dealer: "Uncle Xiang, you are too polite. You even sent them beef jerky. That beef is a rare thing!"
These words were not complimentary words spoken by Yang Ruoqing, but came from the bottom of her heart.
This ancient society was an agricultural society, and in addition to human labor, the labor force was cattle, donkeys, mules, horses and other livestock.
Mules and horses were used to transport goods, donkeys were used to pull mills, and oxen were used to farm.
Among them, the status of cattle is relatively higher, and it is inseparable from the people's basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Therefore, in farmers' households, cattle are reluctant to kill for meat and must be kept for plowing and harrowing the fields. Unless the cattle dies of old age or disease, the cattle will be killed and sold for money.
In this day and age, you are not guaranteed to be able to buy beef if you have money. Generally, beef is not served in small food stalls, only in large restaurants like Tianxianglou.
A cattle dealer specializes in selling cattle. Naturally, it is easier for him than ordinary people to obtain beef, and even beef jerky.
At this moment, the cattle dealer was very happy to hear Yang Ruoqing's praise.
He waved his hands disapprovingly and said: "Isn't it just a few kilograms of beef jerky? It's nothing. I'm afraid that Chen'er is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas and won't care about the things of the Liba people, haha!"
Yang Ruoqing also smiled and said: "Uncle Xiang, you are too humble. Come on, please come inside."
Yang Huazhong put his arms around the cattle dealer's shoulders and entered the main room, and the main room suddenly became more lively.
…
After the lively lunch, everyone dispersed one after another, and the Xiang family deliberately lingered until the end.
Sun and Yang Ruoqing exchanged glances, knowing that the cattle dealer must have something to tell them, and most likely it was about Cui'er and Jin Nan.
So, Mrs. Sun told Xiao Duo: "Duo'er, the corn in our field is ripe. You and Sheng Nan go to the field together and break off a few corn stalks for Sheng Nan to take back to your parents-in-law to taste."
Xiaoduo knew that her mother was trying to push them away, so she quickly got up and responded.
But Xiang Shengnan retreated and said, "Thank you for your kindness, mother-in-law. My family has also planted corn, so I don't have to bother Xiaoduo to break it."
Mrs. Sun said: "What you have is yours, let your parents have a taste of mine."
Xiang Shengnan wanted to say something more, but Xiaoduo pinched his arm gently.
"You can just go if I tell you to. Why is there all this nonsense?" Xiaoduo said angrily.
Xiang Shengnan scratched his head awkwardly and smiled.
Sun glared at Xiaoduo: "Why are you talking to Sheng Nan? You are so fierce. It is only Sheng Nan who has a good temper that can tolerate you. It would not be possible for anyone else."
The woman hurriedly said to Shengnan: "Duo'er has such a temper, please be more accommodating to her..."
Xiang Shengnan said quickly: "My mother-in-law is in serious condition, Xiaoduo has a good temper, and she is also good to me..."
Mr. Sun laughed, and so did Yang Ruoqing.
Xiaoduo is a little shy, but her eyebrows are full of sweetness.
"You talk too much, come with me quickly, or the sun will set." She lightly stomped her feet, turned around and left the main room.
Xiang Shengnan quickly grabbed the basket on the side and followed quickly.
In the main room, there are only three elders left, Yang Huazhong and Sun's cattle dealer, plus Yang Ruoqing, the only junior.
"Brother Xiang, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are the only ones left now." Yang Huazhong refilled a bowl of tea for the cattle dealer, sat down and said.
The cattle dealer nodded and said with some frustration: "I'm here today, firstly, to practice for Fengtang and Chen'er, and secondly, I want to tell you about the affairs of Cuier's family."
"How's it going? Have they agreed to the conditions Qing'er mentioned last time?" Yang Huazhong asked quickly.
Yang Ruoqing said last time that she would use money to impress Tweety's family of three, starting from one hundred taels of silver and capping out at five hundred taels, in order to get Tweety to abort the child.
"I talked about it in the past. I went there twice during this period. The first time, when the price reached 500 taels, Tweety's father and mother obviously became more relaxed. They all looked at Tweety."
"But Cui'er said that she needed to think about it carefully and asked me to come back in a few days."
"But when I went back a few days later, the whole family actually agreed. They said that people are priceless treasures. No matter how much money is spent, they will not abort the child. They must give birth to the child."
"Not only that, they actually found Jin Nan and Jin Nan's parents and told them about it."
"I'm too lazy to talk about that little bastard from Jinnan. He actually got angry at me over this matter and said that I was not good for his flesh and blood."
"My brother and sister-in-law understand my difficulties. It's hard to say anything blaming, but in their words, they seem to want that little bit of blood."
"They feel shameless to come to see you. This beef jerky and several other things were all asked by me to bring over. Hey, what's going to happen now? That girl Cui'er seems to be determined to make money.
I can't even stop you at the door!" The cattle dealer was extremely depressed, sitting there shaking his head and sighing.
Yang Huazhong and Sun also had sad faces.
Yang Ruoqing became interested.
Cui'er's choice was somewhat beyond her expectation. Five hundred taels of silver and a lifetime of food and clothing could not tempt her.
Being so determined to marry Jin Nan is because he fell in love with Jin Nan as a springboard and established a relationship with Sheng Nan. Then the brotherly relationship between Sheng Nan and Jin Nan was taken care of by Xiaoduo's mother's side.
In other words, Cui'er is determined to have a relationship with the Number One Scholar and the Protector General.
Beautiful thought!
"Uncle Xiang, what do your father-in-law and mother-in-law mean now to marry Cui'er?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
The cattle dealer said: "They didn't say they were going to welcome him. Maybe they were afraid that if they did welcome him, they would offend you. Then it would be bad if Sheng Nan's marriage was ruined. So the couple is at the same time.
Big brother, my brothers are all worried about this matter, and their hair has turned a lot gray from worry."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, she could understand the Xiang couple's thoughts.
Shengnan can marry Xiaoduo, which can be said to be a high achievement.
Xiaoduo's appearance and ability to run the household make her the best daughter-in-law in the family.
What's more, Xiaoduo's natal brother is the number one scholar in the Hanlin Academy, his brother-in-law is a general who protects the country, and his sister is a big businessman. Her natal family is rich and powerful. More importantly, Shengnan and Xiaoduo love each other and are very fond of each other.
Like the other person.
This is a perfect relationship that cannot be broken.
But as for Jin Nan, the conditions are there. Marrying a wife is a troublesome thing. It's not easy to have a baby. If they go through this village, the Xiang family's parents are afraid that they won't have the store, so they don't want to give up Cui'er easily.
