Chapter 23 23
Two days later, Sister-in-law Gui told Mingjing, "Girl, I went to the vegetable market today to find Wang Dawen, and he said that your third cousin's marriage has changed." β
Mingjing raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?" β
"That family heard about you going to get the house back, and they went to the door yesterday. said that your uncle and they were cheating on the marriage, and if they can't get the house they married, they will withdraw from the marriage, otherwise they will double the dowry. β
Mingjing tugged at the corners of his mouth, "How did you solve it in the end?" β
"I heard that your sister-in-law and sister-in-law in the second hall did not agree to double the dowry. said that they also suffered a loss this time, and the place they lived in the future could only be half the size of the original. If the bride price of the concubine is doubled, they will not accept it. It is better to have that money than to build a house on an open lot. Girl, the matter of vacating the house will not happen again, will it? β
The third grandfather gave five days, and if they didn't comply, they would challenge the third grandfather's authority in the village. Rest assured, they'll be emptying the west in two days. β
Sister-in-law Gui was stunned, "Empty? But the furniture is ours too. β
"The furniture doesn't care about them, and it would be nice to get the house back. I've been to the inn to see it, and when the time comes, I'll use some of the passable ones there. The next time you go to the market, you will go and ask Uncle Wang to help us find a few cars to move things. It has to be moved all at once, not one by one. When the time comes, the furniture and the people go together. Let's give him all the money, and he will give it to those people. β
Otherwise, the people in the house were not there, and if they didn't get it right, they would be moved away directly by the uncle's family. They hate her now, and they will be happy to do it even if it hurts others and themselves. Not to mention the furniture, which they need now.
Three days later, it was a good day to move, and Uncle Wang came over early in the morning with the three handlebar styles he was looking for, and went to the inn to move furniture with Ming Hao, who was at home on leave. Then he loaded a few boxes of clothes and daily necessities packed up by Mingjing and Gui's sister-in-law.
"Cousinβ"
When Mingjing was handing over the key to Master Wang, the figure of the second cousin appeared at the door. When he saw his uncle being carried out, he immediately came over to take a hand, and together with the others, he carefully carried the person to the front ox cart.
Mingjing raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the second cousin going to work today?" β
"Take a leave. Let's go, I'll go back with you. Feng Erlang said heartily.
"Then there's Second Cousin Lao." Mingjing pursed his lips. The second cousin is here to ease the relationship. He wasn't at home that day, and he was always sleek and sophisticated, so it was the perfect fit for him to come.
As for why the uncle's family wants to ease relations, it is not difficult to guess, they definitely don't want to be pointed at and poked by the people in the village. Moreover, they are still worried about the 100 taels that their family sold their house. Isn't the big house about to be built now, but it's the time to use money.
Seeing this, Uncle Wang said, "That's right, it's all a family." β
Cheap Dad also showed a relieved smile.
Feng Erlang stepped forward and bent down and said, "Uncle, my father asked me to come." The eldest brother and the third brother are all at home waiting to help. β
"Good, good!"
Sister-in-law Gui commanded a few handlebar-type cages, and the wages given by Mingjing were slightly higher than the market price, so several people were very attentive.
Minghao asked her sister in a low voice, "What do they want to do?" β
Mingjing said with a mouth shape: one hundred taels. Thankfully, she's already spent most of it. It's also that they have never borrowed and repaid before, and they have a lot of criminal records. Otherwise, the cheap dad may be willing to lend them the only remaining twenty taels to build a house.
