Chapter 006: Take the Money
He Peier didn't expect that the grandmother of the Wu family would also come over, and she could only walk at her age. It seems that today's incident is very noisy, but I don't know where the village chief ran and didn't see anyone.
The grandmother of the Wu family was supported by her great-granddaughter, and after walking out of the crowd, she first touched her pocket, and then put her hand into her clothes, as if she was looking for some treasure.
The people around did not speak, and their eyes stayed on the grandmother of the Wu family. The village chief just went to the town for a meeting today, and there is no second more suitable person in the village who can speak on behalf of the village chief except for the village chief's mother.
But what is she touching, it has been so long, it is obviously a particularly tense moment, this look is really weary.
"Grandma, are you looking for this?" Wu Changxiu, the great-granddaughter of the Wu family's grandmother, took a small yellowed notebook and handed it to her, seeing that her grandmother nodded, and said to her like a child, "Didn't you keep this thing for me all the time, why did you forget it again." ”
The grandmother of the Wu family is probably used to her great-granddaughter's complaints, so she just smiled and clicked on the book, "Read." ”
Originally, the grandmother of the Wu family was one of the few literate old ladies in Shangxi Village, but now that she is older, her eyes can't see clearly, and Wu Changxiu is also used to being her spokesperson, so she opened the small book and began to read.
"A cashmere blanket, a mahogany box, a red double happiness quilt, a gold lock piece, and ...... clothes"
A group of people were waiting for her to speak, thinking that she was going to say something, but it turned out to be reading the list.
He Peier also heard that this was reading the dowry list left by her mother.
I want to come to the Wu family's grandmother to justify her dowry, although those things have been snatched, but it is of course the best to be justified.
The people around also heard the intentions of the Wu family's grandmother, and they were all nodding to each other in whispers.
Wu Changxiu closed the small notebook after reading the payment and date, glanced at the He family in the middle of the courtyard, cleared his throat and said loudly, "Today, I will say a few words for you on behalf of my grandmother." ”
Thirteen or fourteen-year-old little girl, with her head held high, but she looked like a little adult, He Peier looked at it and laughed, waiting for her next.
"I have read the list of Sister Pei'er's dowry just now, which was given to my grandmother by Sister Pei'er's own mother before she passed away, and there is a document to prove it."
"The day before yesterday, my grandfather asked someone to send it over for Sister Pei'er's marriage, and everyone in my family knows about it."
Wu Changxiu looked at Luo Biqun, "Aunt Luo, what you said before is not right, robbing the dowry of your ex-wife and daughter, that is the way of a vicious stepmother." There is also the matter of the 500 yuan gift money, you can take so much gift money, and no one believes it if you say that you are not selling your daughter. Fortunately, just now you said that you want to add makeup, otherwise our reputation in Shangxi Village will be ruined by you. You must know that our village is a well-known model village, since my grandfather became the village head, ......"
The little girl is not simple, she is articulate, what she says is the point, there is no nonsense, a few words make Luo Biqun the target of the whole village.
He Peier sighed secretly in her heart, this Wu Changxiu is really a talent, and now it seems that there are still a lot of people in this small mountain village, but he was too stupid in his previous life.
was insinuated as a vicious stepmother who was greedy for money, Luo Biqun's head was also big, and if this gift money was not issued, these words would not be insinuations, but solid accusations.
This...... How do you feel that the whole village is helping He Pei'er's dead girl!
Wu Changxiu's crisp voice continued, Luo Biqun was helpless, but he had to step forward to interrupt her.
"Changxiu, you stop first." Luo Biqun squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "What did you just say?" I, Luo Biqun, have lived in Shangxi Village for more than ten years, so what kind of person can I be. ”
"Yes, Sister Changxiu. My mother has been married into the village for so many years, so can she be that kind of vicious stepmother! He Pei'er also came over with a smile, with so many people on her side, how could she waste such a good opportunity.
"My mother, she forgot about the dowry, it's because she is old and confused. I asked for a gift money of 500 yuan, and I did it on purpose. He Peier squinted at Luo Biqun and smiled.
It's just that no matter how she looks at it, her smile makes people's hearts flutter, but what she said makes people curious, Luo Biqun couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"What do you mean?" He Pei'er raised her voice, "Mom, aren't you afraid that I won't be treated well when I go to my husband's house, so as not to have enough food and clothing like at home, so I need so much money?" In order to use this money to make makeup for me, so that I can have money to live a good life in my husband's house! ”
"I really didn't expect you to have such a high ideological consciousness, I hated you when you beat me and scolded me before, but now I see you so good to me, I am really moved."
For this part, He Peier should usually squeeze two tears out to meet the situation, but she was so happy to see her stepmother's distorted face that she couldn't cry, so she could only stretch out her hand.
"Mom, you can take out the money and makeup in front of the whole village, and you can also earn face for the He family and set an example for Shangxi Village."
This dead girl is really going to become a sperm, Luo Biqun was surprised and wanted to eat her at the same time, but the whole village was watching here, she couldn't do anything.
One person asked for money, and the other stared at him with anger, and the scene was deadlocked.
Wu Changxiu couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a smack, "Aunt Luo, I knew that you were a good person and would not embarrass us in Shangxi Village, Sister Pei'er was right, you can take it out now, and you can also gain a good reputation." ”
The representative of Shangxi Village spoke again, and Luo Biqun couldn't be indifferent, but he didn't say it well, "This money...... This makeup thing......"
Luo Biqun couldn't say anything, her whole face collapsed, and she wanted to take out the money from her hand, which felt more painful than digging out her heart.
was forced to look like this and was reluctant to take out the money, it seems that she does not love money as much as her life, but sees it more important than her life.
"Sister-in-law, Changxiu has a point, you better give the money now." He Pei'er's second aunt Zhang Chunhua walked out of the crowd at this time, first smiled at He Pei'er, then pushed Luo Biqun after speaking, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, you and I both have girls to marry, don't ruin your reputation for these things, it's a lifetime thing." ”
Luo Biqun didn't know what she said, gritted her teeth, took out a red envelope from her pocket, turned her back to the crowd and drew a fifty yuan face value and stuffed it to Zhang Chunhua.
She didn't want to give the money to that dead girl in person, for fear that she couldn't help but hit someone with her hands.
"Give another fifty, that's not enough." 500 yuan is only given to 50, how can this money block everyone's mouth, Zhang Chunhua is not a fool, and besides, this money is not hers, she just does good things, and she is not distressed at all.
