Chapter 392 (2/2)

The days passed day by day. On the eve of Lao Zhao's family sending the bride price, Chen suddenly said, ”the Zhao family is rich and noble. If our family can't afford a decent banquet, it will be laughed at by the people in the village. It's better to take the pigs and cattle at home and sell them. When the marriage is over, we can buy piglets and raise them at home.”

Near the village, in recent years, everyone cares more and more about face. Some time ago, an old man in the village had his 70th birthday. He was laughed at for months because the banquet was worse. Recently, the family didn't go out much. It's a shame to talk about the banquet.

Seeing that Xia Dahu didn't speak, Chen said again, ”people in the village say we sell our daughters. If we don't do a good banquet, our family can't stand in the village any more.”

Xia Dahu said calmly, ”OK.”

When Xia Dahu went to Fang, the family agreed to sell pigs and cattle.

Chen can't get the money to sell these animals, but Chen is not stupid, but he knows where Fang hid the money.

When Fang hid the money, she stole it and hid it.

The engagement between the Xia family and the Zhao family was very smooth. Except that Zhao Wen didn't show up in person, he gave a lot of gifts and a lot of silver for the bride price, which was as much as 50 liang of silver.

Chen coaxed two liang silver coins at Xia Dahu. Xia Dahu, Xia Sanhu and other family men ran to the town to gamble.

In the room, only Chen and Fang were left.

Chen made a embarrassed appearance and said to Fang, ”mother-in-law, there's one thing I don't know Gao won't tell you.”

Fang turned his eyes and looked at Chen. ”Fart quickly. I warn you that the child is engaged. Don't use your head, or I'll let my son quit you.”

From the angle that Fang couldn't see, Chen threw his mouth, hung his head and said, ”grandma, where do you want to go? Just recently, my father-in-law often doesn't come home, that... That...”

As soon as he said this, Fang was stunned. ”The old man will die if he wants to die. What do you care about him? Hum, if he dies, he will have fewer people to eat.”

Chen sighed, ”mother-in-law, hey, why don't you understand? Someone told me that he saw his father-in-law go to widow Zhou's house in the neighboring village. Some time ago, someone saw that many clothes brought back by Da Ya were worn by widow Zhou's son.”

As soon as Fang heard this, his face changed and said fiercely, ”what? The old man dares to fool around outside? See if I don't tear up his face and that little bitch.”

Then he hurried away.

As soon as Fang turned around and left, Chen winked at his little daughter. The mother and daughter took Xia Daya and said, ”big girl, you're getting married and don't have anything good. Go, mom. It's not easy to have some money here. Let's go to the county to buy you some clothes and jewelry. The Zhao family is rich and noble. You can't be laughed at because you don't have jewelry.”

Xia Daya's face was moved, ”Mom, thank you very much.”

The mother and son went to the town, rented a carriage and set off directly.

On the way, Chen met a caravan, sent a carriage, gave the caravan some money, and set out with the caravan.

According to Xia Daya, the caravan has bodyguards. It's safe to go together.

Xia Daya has no doubt about this.

Three or five days later, Xia Daya returned to God, but the mother and son had gone north. I don't know how far.

The north is developed and public security is good. The caravans to the north are all regular caravans. Chen inquired about everything. After giving the caravans money, they promised to take their mother and son.

At this time, even if Xia Daya had another idea, she didn't dare to run away without permission when she was unfamiliar with her place, but she resented Chen in the end.

In order to coax Xia Daya, Chen said, ”Silly girl, you're just a small merchant. You're still an old man in a small place. What's your future? Look at your two aunts, a princess and a prince's favorite princess. Are you willing to be such a small-scale woman? When your mother arrives in Beidi, as long as she sees your aunt and asks her to find a good marriage for you, you'll be an official wife at that time, which is not better than being the successor of the laoshizi merchant I don't know how many times? ”

As soon as she said this, Xia Daya was really grateful to Chen, and she didn't want to escape#####
