Chapter 116

Old man Liu suddenly let out his breath. He looked at old Zhou tou sitting opposite him and knew that he meant the same.

The two families have been in laws for eight years. He probably knows Lao Zhoutou's temperament and knows that it is impossible for him to pay back his dowry without paying any compensation.

But it's impossible to have the same dowry. It's too expensive. If you give them this compensation, it's equivalent to spending three bride price on the boss.

Old Chou is as like as two peas. He never thought that Liu could compensate him for a identical dowry.

Finally, after discussion, the Liu family returned all the dowry Zhou Xi had brought to her, and the quilt and clothes had to be newly made. In addition, they had to give Zhou Xi a silver bracelet and a hanging money as compensation.

Of course, the Liu family couldn't take these things out at the moment, so he left the book for the moment. The old Zhou head said, "these things had to be done years ago. Our Zhou family didn't have so much spare time to wait for you. We'll give you three days to get your things ready, and the stitches of clothes and quilts are tight. We'll ask the chief of staff to do and leave the book in three days."

The certificate of divorce is not valid when given, nor is it legally effective when signed. You have to go to the Yamen to register.

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with them, because this kind of thing is usually reported directly to the head of the Department, and the head of the Department will report it to them.

The Yamen is on holiday during the Chinese new year, but the chief of the department doesn't.

A hundred households are one mile. The chief of Qili Village and Liujia village are not the same. At that time, we should invite the two chief of Liujia village to witness.

Under the witness of the relatives of the two ethnic groups, old Zhou tou and old man Liu talked about compensation. The village heads of the two villages are witnesses. As long as the two families still want to live in the village, they can't go back on what they talked about.

The Zhou family left with a cold hum. When they left, Xiao Qian broke into Liu Dalang's room with his sister-in-law, took all the things belonging to Zhou Xi, went to Liu's mother's room, took the camphor wooden cage out and took it away directly.

The faces of the Liu family are ugly.

This matter is settled. For the Liu family, this matter has been solved, but for the Zhou family, the difficulty has just begun.

As soon as he got home, old Zhou tou said to Qian, "I'll go to Lao Si's house in the evening. Ask Xi and remarry. What kind of job does she want? We'll take all the things that the Liu family paid back. "

Qian sighed, "she doesn't want to marry."

"Where does she live if she doesn't marry?" Old Zhou said, "what should I do when I'm old? Does it depend on my brothers?"

Qian didn't speak. She advised Zhou Xi all noon today. Although Zhou Xi didn't speak, she could feel her attitude. The most important thing was that she was afraid of forcing the child to think hard, so Qian didn't dare to say too much.

Man Bao is sitting on the bed counting the money. They got it from selling sugar in the city yesterday and Friday. Man Bao shared a lot.

Although she had counted it yesterday, she counted it again today. When she heard her parents speak louder and louder, she seemed to want to quarrel. She put all the copper plates on her belly clothes, slipped out of bed and ran over, "Dad, mom, stop arguing. Look, I have money."

The couple looked at man Bao.

Man Bao pulled down the corner of his clothes, let them see the money in his pocket and said, "Dad, you can find the village head to grant the eldest sister a piece of land to build a house. It's just next to our house. As Mr. said, the eldest sister has no husband or son. She can set up a female household."

Old Zhou tou sighed sadly, "what you think is too simple. If your sister doesn't marry, how will she live?"

"I'm not married either."

Lao Zhou and Qian: "

Man Bao asked Koko. Koko said that in the future, many girls will not marry, and they will still live well.

Why?

Because they have money!

Man Bao thought carefully and listed it on the paper. He found that Keke was particularly right. Everything was a matter of money.

If the eldest sister had money, would my parents want her to marry so urgently?

She said, "Mom, I've thought about it for my eldest sister. I'll build a house for my eldest sister and let my brothers open up wasteland and cultivate land for my eldest sister. My eldest sister is so powerful that I can make a good life."

Old Zhou said, "she's young and flexible. What if she gets old?"

Old Zhou said, "at that time, she can't walk and work. What to eat and drink?"

"If you have money, you can hire someone, such as big head. As long as you give him money, he will take good care of you."

"Listen to you, it seems that making money is as easy as picking up stones. Money is so easy to earn?"

Man Bao: "it's not very difficult."

"Well, well," said Qian, "what are you fighting with man Bao? She has just come home. Even if she wants to get married, she has to spend this year. You can't just find someone to marry her out. You have to look around and wait for a year and a half."

Lao Zhou gasped and asked, "how do you live in that family?"

This is really a big problem. The most important thing is this one. I can't live at home.

When the house was built, Zhou Xi had been married for many years, so she was not considered at all.

And the Zhou family was not very rich at that time. Didn't you see that even four Lang, five Lang and six Lang lived in one room?

Qian looked anxiously at the yard outside and said, "build a straw shed next to the firewood house, let the old four move there, and prepare two more quilts for them. It won't be so cold in spring."

Lao Zhou tou didn't speak.

The villagers left by the Zhou family to help had a meal and sent them away. The remaining three uncles of the Qian family didn't go.

Uncle Qian said, "we'll go to Liujia village with you in three days. Now that the person has come back, don't scold her. She's still young, not bad looking and doesn't worry about getting married."

It may not be very good to marry. Anyway, there are many singles in the countryside. It is difficult to find two legged toads, but there are two legged singles everywhere.

Uncle Qian said, "what are you going to marry? I'm happy and can't have children. Marrying out is also to be a cow and a horse. It's better to help at home. If you can't, go out and find a job. I know that some rich people outside are good to their servants. If they do well, they will feed the old and die. "

Qian was so angry that he stared at him and said, "shut up."

Uncle Qian was most afraid of this sister in his life. He bowed his head and dared not speak.

Uncle Qian also glanced at him and said, "when you get the money from the Liu family, you'd better take her into the county. I think she doesn't have much trouble except her face. Maybe she can be cured."

It's best to cure the disease and have a baby.

Uncle Qian also nodded, "go to Jishi hall. If you don't have enough money, I'll gather some for you at home."

Speaking of raising money, uncle Qian remembered, looked at Zhou Silang and asked calmly, "Silang, do you still gamble now?"

Zhou Silang was very excited. He didn't know how the topic came to him. He lowered his head and shook his head tremblingly, "no, no gambling."

Uncle Qian hated gamblers most in his life. He snorted coldly and said, "you want to bet again. I don't care what your parents and brothers do. I'll ask your cousin to break your leg first."
