"Aunt, you can't say it like that. The things we bought today can be considered as celebrating our family having the money to pay our debts." Luo Manman laughed and found a suitable excuse to make the Xiao Niang feel better.

"Alright, little girl, you're being considerate." Although Xiao Niang had a pained expression, she was still happy as she touched the new ingredients on the oxcart.

Big Uncle Zhang, who was driving the carriage, turned his head to look at the things on the carriage and could not help but say:

"Xiao Niang, it's really your fortune to have such a good wife. You, just by looking at her, you can tell that she's a blessed person, so don't disappoint your wife, and enjoy your blessings."

Big Uncle Zhang was also very happy today. He had been wrapped in an ox-cart by the Xiao family today. Not only was it easy to catch this ox-cart, it was also early in the morning.

Being praised by others, Luo Manman felt a little embarrassed and smiled sweetly at Xiao Niang, "Aunt, don't keep thinking about buying me food to supplement my body. Don't you know that after I came to the Xiao family, I didn't get any fatter?

These are all the necessities of the family, and there's no saving them. There's even a man of the same age, it's not good to go out in patches all the time. "

"Alright, you're right. Money is earned by you. Auntie will listen to you. You can spend whatever you want, but Auntie will also benefit from it."

Xiao Niang was elated. Previously, her family's condition was not good, so she had two sons in a row.

She had to bitterly support this house by herself. She couldn't bear to buy clothes, and she couldn't bear to eat the eggs raised at home. Fortunately, she had survived so many years.

Watching Yi Ming grow up and buy such a good daughter-in-law, her life gradually turned fiery red, and her heart was finally comforted.

The Nanshan Village was surrounded on three sides by the mountains, with a simple and honest folk style. Furthermore, they were not very busy with farming, so the villagers all liked to get together to chat during their free time.

The daughter-in-law rode the ox-cart back to Nanshan Village. The ox-cart passed by the entrance of the village, and beneath a large tree covered with leaves, there were a few villagers taking advantage of the shade to eat.

Some had just returned with hoes on their shoulders, some had just walked by with water on their chests, and some were just sitting around idly chatting.

At this moment, they saw an oxcart that was full of carts. Their eyes were all glowing with red light.

"Ya, isn't that the Xiao family's Xiao Niang and her wife, Luo Manman?"

"That's right. Did the Xiao family earn a lot of money?" Look, you bought a whole car? That would cost a lot of money, wouldn't it? "

"Xiao Niang, did you manage to get back from the market in town? Are all these things your family's? It must have cost a lot of money. "

Xiao Niang usually spent money to embroider a few more items. She rarely went to the town to visit the market unless she had to go to the main gate.

"It's okay, it's okay. I didn't spend any money. It was all for my wife's money." Xiao Niang replied happily.

Liu Yao, who was sitting under a tree and talking, had his eyes set on fire the moment he saw Xiao Niang.

"The Xiao family is really capable. If they go to town to buy money, they won't even pay back the money they owe me. They still have the nerve to spend lavishly and take an ox-cart back to the village. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at?"

Liu Yao spoke while giving a signal to a villager at his side. The villager understood what he meant and slipped away, jogging towards Auntie Qiu's house.

Luo Manman rolled her big round eyes. She must have thought that Liu Yao wanted to see their Xiao family's joke and got someone to spread the news to Auntie Qiu.

Helplessly, he lifted his forehead. These people liked to stare at other people's money bags when they had nothing to do all day. What does it have to do with you to buy things or not to spend money?

After eating your family's rice, you still tore off your family's cloth. All day long, you have nothing to do but panic, and all day long, you talk and talk without fear of losing your tongue.

Luo Manman retorted in her heart, when she heard the hoarse and aged voice by her ears. "Alright, let everyone go.

Just as Old Uncle Zhang brandished his whip, a Auntie Qiu appeared out of nowhere. He waved his hands and shouted, "Stop."

The Xiao Niang frowned, then said unhappily: "Auntie Qiu, what are you doing, quickly get out of the way, when the ox-cart collides with you, don't drag the Big Uncle Zhang to compensate you."

Xiao Niang's tone was full of ridicule, which was to say, don't always take advantage of this opportunity to scam around.

"Hmph …" Xiao Niang, you really can do it. You don't want to pay back the money you owe to our Qiu Family, and instead want to buy so much food.

"Hey hey, fellow villagers, look at this. It's rice grains. The Xiao family is really rich, yet they deliberately refused to return the money."

Auntie Qiu said that her hands were not idle and hurriedly touched the fine cloth. It was smooth and exquisite to the touch.

She had never touched such a good cloth in her life. Immediately, her eyes turned red and her faint yellow eyeballs were filled with jealousy.

Luo Manman was annoyed when he saw her, but when she saw that the Xiao Niang wanted to refute her, she immediately pulled her hand and indicated to her: "Aunt, let me deal with this bad woman."

Luo Manman took out 4 taels of silver from his money pouch and threw it towards Auntie Qiu. "Here you go, the Xiao Clan will not owe you money from now on."

With a bang, it was unknown if Luo Manman was doing it on purpose or not, but a tael of silver coincidentally smashed onto Auntie Qiu's forehead.

"Aiyo, it hurts so much." Auntie Qiu covered her forehead and screamed. When she lowered her hand, she saw that there was blood in her eyes.

Everyone saw that there really was a wound on Auntie Qiu's forehead, and fresh blood flowed out.

"You, you actually hit me, it's amazing how much money I have." Auntie Qiu was furious, but she didn't forget to pick up the silver from the ground.

"Big Uncle Zhang, hurry up and leave, don't let this crazy woman catch up."

"Alright, Xiao Family Wife." Big Uncle Zhang had already waved his bull whip to drive the carriage, the wheels quickly turned, and they saw Auntie Qiu jogging behind them:

"How could you, who have killed a thousand with a thousand knives, be so wicked? You hurt my forehead, so compensate me for the medical expenses."

Luo Manman turned around and stabbed her with a knife: "Try saying it again, if you don't believe me, I will immediately smash you with this copper coin. Everyone's patience is limited, don't regret waiting until you've used up all of it, hmph …"

"You …" Auntie Qiu could only stomp her feet a few times, not daring to make a sound.

Looking at the white silver in her hands, it seemed like it was worth it to be smashed. What was there to be proud of? It was just a few coins. She had to hurry up and go to the town to spend them.

Seeing the villagers discussing, she bared her teeth and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen the money before?"

This time, the villagers were unhappy. Seeing the way she opened her eyes when money was already in sight, not many people could see it. Immediately, some villagers retorted:

"This damned woman, her heart is really too evil, to think she would feel at ease if we extorted money from her. I think the Xiao Family Wife has done well."

"That's right, from the looks of her, she even wanted to bluff her way up to Big Uncle Zhang."

"That's right. Let's keep our distance from her in the future so that we won't be cheated by her if we're not careful." The group of villagers who were at the village entrance immediately scattered.

"Hmph, this is called jealousy, a bunch of bumpkins who have never seen the world." Then, he gave ten bronze coins to Liu Yao who was at the side. "Liu Yao, thank you for taking care of me."

"Of course, we underestimated the Xiao family. They were able to return the money in such a short amount of time, and even bought so many things."

Their eyes were filled with jealousy and hate.

"That's right. If I had known this earlier, I would have done it a little more arrogantly. The Xiao family would have taken advantage of me."

The two of them had the same bad taste in their mouths, so they took the silver and headed back home happily.

After a few more days, a ruckus came from the village. The Wang Ergou's house was surrounded by a crowd of villagers, and was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

What was going on with Wang Ergou's house today? It was so lively that many villagers stopped what they were doing and ran over to the Wang family to watch the show.

A luxurious carriage stopped in front of Wang Ergou's courtyard. A servant pulled up the carriage as two girls stepped down.

The servant took the things out of the horse carriage and carried them into the house. Some villagers discussed curiously, "Why is Ergou's house so lively today? What happened? "

Yan Niang asked the boy to bring out a bag of candy to send out. With a face full of smiles, she shouted,

Thank you for bringing me to the Wang family. Today is a good day, and the Wang family is going to get married soon.

"What a good thing!" Wang Ergou is actually getting married? " Liu Yao, the matchmaker started to clamor. She still looked down on the Wang family? To think that Ergou could even get a wife!

Some villagers, who had seen the whole process, began to narrate their stories at the top of their lungs:

"Liu Yao, you don't know this, right? Wang Ergou is really lucky this time, there was actually a matchmaker who took the initiative to bring a young lady here, she directly said that she would marry a young lady. Isn't this bringing along her dowry as well? This scene is pretty grand."

"Little Village Tian, what you said is not right. You are not well-informed. Didn't you hear Second Gouzi call that woman a beauty?

Who was Yan Niang? She is the mama of the Blossom House, I think this young lady is selling it to the Wang Ergou? "

The one who said this was the dead body of the Sanniang family. He occasionally went to whoring, so he naturally had some knowledge about those old women.

Yan Niang was dressed very simply today. Her voice was a bit soft. As she commanded the manservant to move the things, she was also afraid that no one would be able to hear her.

He said loudly, "Er Gouzi, don't hide in the house and don't come out. Quickly hand in the betrothal gift and accept the bride."

"Yan mama, why are you here?" Ergouzi could no longer hide any longer. He shrunk his head at the door, touched his forehead and embarrassedly came out.

Wasn't this too much? Also, when did he say he wanted to buy a wife and didn't have enough money? Why did this Yan Niang come to visit?

Aunt Wang had already been stunned by this scene. Seeing that there were more and more villagers watching, she could not help but shout out loud: "Stop looking, stop looking, if there's anything good, go back. Everyone go back to your homes and find your mothers."

The Wang Ergou's face immediately turned pale as he tugged on Yan Niang's sleeves and pulled her into the house. "I say, Yan Niang, why have you come here today?"

Incidentally, he glanced at Hei Ya, who was bowing her head bashfully beside Yan Niang, and said: "Grandma, aren't we all done talking? When I have raised enough money, I will go to your place, and in the end, you will bring Hei Ya to kill my way here.
