Chapter 51 Money is falling from the sky

(Keep shouting: If you have tickets, please give me a ticket, if you don’t have tickets, please give me a reward, and if you don’t have tickets, please give me a subscription!)

Aunt Shi was obviously anxious. She stared at Huiniang for a long time but didn't know what to say. She turned around and scolded Father Shi again, "It's all because of you, an old guy! If it hadn't happened before, how could it be like this now?"

"

Father Shi buried his head in peeling the beans and didn't dare to refute even a single word.

Nianfu looked at his grandfather sympathetically and raised his feet to run away, but Madam Hui quietly chased after her, grabbed her pigtails, and cursed, "It's all your fault, girl!"

Unjustly accused!

Cheering up, he followed his mother into the kitchen, and Nian Fu said, "I have no objection to Aunt Li's family. As long as that person is willing to live in our house, I don't care."

"You damn girl, are you deliberately going against me?" Hui Niang was so angry that she punched her daughter's forehead hard, "Your grandma said so and you also said the same, can you be a little assertive?"

Come on, I won’t say anything while reciting blessings.

Who has room to explain this matter?

Her engagement was cancelled, and Mrs. Li's family next door heard the news and immediately came to propose marriage to her son Li Xiaohu.

The person meant well, and it is usually difficult for a girl who has broken off the engagement to find herself in a good family again, but Aunt Li not only did not dislike it, she also said that she could let Li Xiaohu move to the Shi family after they get married, and help take care of the Shi family.

, continue to make her tofu and pancakes.

Aunt Shi was very moved and wanted to agree. But no one expected that at this critical moment, Madam Hui refused.

He didn't say why, he just said that his daughter was still young and that he would wait two years before talking. This made Mrs. Shi so angry that she was afraid that there would be no store like this after passing this village.

As for Nianfu, she was not happy to speak her mind. This was not because she disliked Li Xiaohu, he was decent-looking, hard-working and simple. From a family background, she was a good match for Nianfu. The problem was that the two of them had no feelings at all.

Basics, how to get to one place?

But is this age for you to fall in love? So from a practical point of view, Nianfu feels that Aunt Shi is right. It is time for her to get engaged at her age. If she delays it later, she will be a leftover girl again. Anyway, this is

It was the rule of the times to get married first and then fall in love. It was better to catch a man and train him slowly. In time, maybe he would be able to get rid of poverty and become wealthy. So she could still accept it, but she just couldn't figure out why Hui Niang refused.

The whole family was awkward. Suddenly they heard someone shouting outside the door, "Aunt Shi, Aunt Mu, are you at home?"

Another person involved in the incident, Li Xiaohu, is here.

Carrying two large buckets of water on his shoulders, he stepped enthusiastically across the gap in the low courtyard wall. He grinned stupidly and said, "I was thinking that your family would make tofu in the morning. It would use a lot of water, and it would definitely be gone by the time lunch is done. Just

I went to pick out two buckets for you. Aunt Shi, have you seen enough? If not enough, I will go."

"Oh, that's really hard on you. I just wanted to fetch water at home, so you came." Aunt Shi thanked her, smiling like a flower. Her expression looked like an old mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

Nianfu felt goosebumps all over his body, and he raised his eyes to see the reaction of the prospective mother-in-law. However, he saw the prospective mother-in-law pushing herself inward, blocking the sight of the young man who was good at carrying water.

The old mother-in-law was not happy, thinking that the mother-in-law had too little discernment, but it was hard to get angry in front of Li Xiaohu. She was thinking of asking her prospective grandson-in-law if he wanted to eat lard cakes, and asked his granddaughter to make them later.

I wanted to send it to someone, but someone came.

"Excuse me, is this the Shi family?"

Aunt Shi looked at the stranger and was stunned, "Yes, are you here to buy tofu or Huai'an cakes? We don't have those cakes now, but we do have tofu and dried beans."

The man laughed when he heard it, "So this is your home!" He walked in the door and without saying a word, he took out a bunch of money from his arms and said to Mrs. Sai Shi, "Don't dislike it, it's just a little bit of my heart."

"Hey! What are you doing?" Aunt Shi shouted anxiously and shouted for the person to come back quickly, but the person ran away in two seconds.

Aunt Shi quickly stuffed the money into Li Xiaohu's hand, "Quick, catch up and give it back!"

Li Xiaohu was obedient and ran away immediately, but after a stick of incense came back, he came back with the bunch of money, "The uncle said there was no harm, so you can accept it with confidence."

But this is unclear, why would he give her family money?

Since this beginning, weird things have happened one after another. After that day, three groups of people came to give money. Some of them handed it over directly to the Mu family, and some of them threw it into their yard and ran away.

What was particularly outrageous was that as soon as Nian Fu baked a batch of lard cakes, someone bought one for a high price of ten taels of silver. He didn't even let him look for it, so he just said it was a tip.

Nian Fu's eyes almost popped out of her head with fright. That was a big gold ingot worth ten taels! This was the first time she had seen such a big amount of money after living here for so long.

But what happened to these people?

The whole family temporarily put aside their differences on the wedding ceremony and began to feel uneasy. In this world where money is falling, who knows whether it is a blessing or a curse?

Aunt Shi found a jar and threw all the money into it. She also found a charcoal stick and drew different shapes on the wall to represent the man and woman and the amount of money given, for fear that she would not be able to tell clearly when she turned around.

But it didn't take long for the riddle to be solved. The person who solved the riddle came.

Seeing Mr. Ouyang, the rumored actor who was praying for blessings, come to visit the house in person with his handsome young man, the Shi family felt a toothache.

At the height of the storm, what is he doing here? Are you afraid that there won't be enough gossip?

But on the surface, he wants to greet her politely, but there is something he needs to say clearly in advance when praying for blessings, "Young master, our family's business is good now, and my mother can't handle it alone. She can't do it without me."

Ouyang Kang's face became hot, knowing that Nianfu was telling him that he would never go back to Ouyang's house. Thinking about the insult given by the third wife, how could he dare to say this?

"Sister Mu, don't worry too much. In fact, I am here today not only to answer my cousin's request, but also to my grandmother, who wants to invite Aunt Mu to visit her house."

Hui Niang was surprised, "Old lady, you want to see me?"

Ouyang Kang replied respectfully, "Originally, grandma was going to come in person, but she is old and has inconvenient legs and feet, so she had to ask Aunt Mu to come to her house."

This is no problem, but there is another question to ask. Madam Hui looked Gu Yong up and down. "Young master Gu, is there something wrong with you?"

Gu Yong took out a money bag from his arms and said, "This was packed by my mother before I went out. She asked me to deliver it to your house."

Hearing this, the whole family was confused again, "Why do you even send money to my house?"

Gu Yong smiled and glanced at Nian Fu, which made Hui Niang's heart beat twice. This young man seemed to be stronger than Li Xiaohu. Can he consider it?

Unexpectedly, someone said, "Sister Mu was able to calm down at a young age and rescue her elders from the fire. She was not afraid of hard work to support the family. My mother was very touched when she heard about it. Although my family is not rich, my mother still wants me to give some.

Even though the money is a common thing, I just hope it can help your family a little."

Ah? The whole family looked at each other, and Nianfu asked, "How did your family know about me?"

Gu Yong smiled and said, "The news about Xuancheng has been spread for a long time. But please rest assured that your family can only say good things, and no one can say anything bad. I think if someone else sends money, I'm afraid it's the same as my family."

I mean, I want to help Sister Mu pay back the money as soon as possible."

Ah! The whole family looked at each other again, and finally understood what was going on.

After she came to her senses, Madam Hui asked with some uncontrollable excitement, "Mr. Gu, are you serious? Didn't the villagers laugh at my daughter's annulment?"

Gu Yong said seriously, "What's so funny about this? Besides, didn't Mr. Hou say in public whether he wanted to get married or not?"

Looking at his look, a straightforward person like Hui Niang finally understood, "That's right. Praying for blessings in my family doesn't count as an engagement!"

Ahem, Dad Shi coughed twice. He interrupted his daughter who was leaking more and more, and asked, "Then the folks didn't dislike my granddaughter for going to court?"

Gu Yong raised his neck and said, "Sister Mu hurt someone to save her mother. She didn't mean it. It's normal for a little girl to be frightened and lose her sense of proportion for a moment. It's not her fault that she went to court."

The villagers are still saying that it is unfair to sentence your family to pay back the money. Why should we pay compensation to that person named Hu?"

After hearing this, Mr. Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The county magistrate's judgment is also the national law. Thank you fellow villagers for your righteousness."

Huiniang was even more excited and held her daughter's hand, with tears streaming down her face, "Nianfu, did you hear that? The folks don't blame you, and they don't laugh at you either!"

It is indeed very happy to recite blessings. A person has a face and a tree has a bark. Who wants to live with a bad reputation?

When there was a commotion at Hou's house that day, Nianfu thought that even if she explained clearly, she would inevitably be gossiped about, but she didn't expect that people still have justice in their hearts, and everyone can clearly see the right and wrong. She didn't say anything, but who knew that the villagers

Have they already spread the word for her?

The haze that had been weighing in his heart for many days finally dissipated, and Nianfu was no longer afraid that those rumors would be detrimental to his reputation when they spread back to Huai'an Town.

Hey! It feels good to be able to hold your head high and be a good person again.

But when the little girl tried hard to push out her newly developed chest and show off her beautiful curves, she attracted two looks from the side that were neither frivolous nor completely pure.

Ahem, what can I say? Guan Guan Suijiu, in the River Continent, a gentle lady, a gentleman is good...? Wrong, don't look at anything inappropriate! He is a gentleman, and a gentleman can't look at it!

After knowing the whole story, the Shi family was not so afraid when someone gave them more money. However, they still tried their best to pass the money away, "The family is still doing well, and we will pay off the debt slowly so that we don't have to spend any money."

"

But now that people are here, most of them have made up their minds that they must leave the money. If they can't refuse, they take a piece of her tofu or lard cake and settle the bill.

Aunt Shi sighed, "There are so many good people in this world."

Nian Fu absolutely agrees with this. She counted and found that her family had collected fifty or sixty taels of silver in the past two days. If it continues at this rate, it will soon be able to pay back the money owed to the Hou family.

.

It's just that Madam Hui went to Ouyang's house alone that day, and after meeting the old lady, she felt a little uneasy when she came back. Sometimes she would be in a daze while watching the blessings, and sometimes she would take out the jar with the marriage certificate and look at it obsessively.

But she didn't say anything when I asked her, which made Nianfu feel very anxious.
