Chapter 32 You are very presumptuous!
The snow is falling heavily, bringing a chill to my body.
Hui Niang didn’t know what to do and said nothing for a long time.
The guard is loyal and honest, but he has ideas. He spoke out.
"Alang is like this. Who is willing to marry a good girl? Unless we are willing to pay more for the bride price. But you also know the situation at home, how can you afford it."
"In comparison, we can still afford one tael of silver by gritting our teeth."
Hui Niang frowned tightly: "But the money we have on us should be reserved for Alang's treatment. Let's get married. Things can be slowed down, but the doctor can't wait."
She even spent the whole night worried that the money was not enough.
Wei Shouzhong comforted his wife.
"Now we have been divided into fields. After the spring planting is over and the things in the fields are taken care of, I will go to the county dock to move the goods. I have no skills, but I still have strength. I heard from the other side of the west We’re recruiting miners again, I’ll go check back later.”
When Hui Niang heard this, she immediately became anxious: "No, that mine treats people as livestock. Don't you know how many people died last year?"
"If something happens to you, let me and What should Alang do? "
"Listen to me first, haven't you gone yet?"
He won't risk his life unless he has to.
Wei Shouzhong: "Uncle and the others also said last time that if we are short of money, we are willing to borrow some money."
"Besides, we are not in a hurry to settle down today. We must first see if those girls are okay and willing to live a steady life."
These words gave Huiniang some relief and her mood Also calmed down a bit.
“I think it’s safer for us to buy from Yapo. Not to mention anyone else, Wan Niang’s sister-in-law, doesn’t her mother-in-law come to visit her often? It’s hard to find a sensible in-law.”
Those girls are different.
They were sold by their family members and lost contact completely.
Having said this, Wei Shouzhong sighed deeply.
“There is something I have been hiding from you.”
“Our kitchen house leaked earlier, and several tiles from the eaves also fell off.”
Falled On the ground, it broke into several pieces.
After cleaning it, they turned around and threw it into the corner.
Wei Shouzhong said in a serious tone: "But Alang picked it up while we were not paying attention."
"I saw with my own eyes that he made two gestures and then cut his neck."
Wa. The tip of the blade was sharp. If he hadn't stopped it in time, who knows what would have happened!
Wei Shouzhong is afraid!
He replaced the tiles with smooth stones.
However, Wei Zhao drooped his eyelids, showing no joy or sadness, and there was no trace of life in his dark eyes. It's like he cut his throat and blood spurts out, that's all.
Even... after the tiles were taken away, Wei Zhao's mood was light.
He is not persistent.
Don’t care about anything, including life and death.
But just like this, Wei Shouzhong became more and more panicked, fear rushed up, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
He could only tremble in his voice.
【"Alang, you can't."】
But the old father was worried again. Seeing that Wei Zhao disliked the stone, he had to grind the tiles sharply and flatten them. Let Wei Zhao play with it.
But Wei Zhao was not satisfied because the stones and tiles were thrown away by him.
Hui Niang's face turned pale, and just hearing what Wei Shouzhong said made her feel frightened.
Wei Shouzhong closed his eyes: "Huiniang, we are old, how many years can we stay with him? We can't watch him all the time."

Inside the house .
Yu Tingwan was really angry! After all, she is really poor!
But the little girl didn't understand how Wei Shen had the nerve to say such things. He is going to bring his parents down!
Yu Tingwan tightened her face and distanced herself from him: "You are very presumptuous."
Wei Zhaoyan.
There was no words for a moment, and the room was silent.
After Hui Niang came back, her eyes were slightly red and she was particularly absent-minded. And Wei Shouzhong went out for a trip. It didn't take long for a group of people to come in.
The leader was a shrewd woman who looked around as soon as she entered the hospital. Behind her followed a group of timid girls, all of them sallow and thin, with dirt on their bodies.
Yu Tingwan was just wondering when he saw Hui Niang walking up to Wei Shen.
“Don’t worry, Alang, my mother will definitely choose a good wife for you.”
Hui Niang said to Wei Zhao in a warm voice: “But my wife is living with you, and she is afraid that you will fall in love with her if you turn around. No, do you want Alang to go out and have a look?"
Hui Niang was used to Wei Zhaoxin being silent.
She had no choice but to discuss it with him in a low voice.
"Alang, tell Aniang, what kind of girl do you like?"
Yu Tingwan wanted to say it.
She knows.
Wei Shen likes white!
But she held back.
Some inappropriate pictures appeared in front of her eyes, and the little girl felt a little uncomfortable.
Wei Zhao had heard these words countless times.
Shun Guogong said this before he was alive.
【"Return, you have established a career, it's time to start a family."】
Mrs. Shun Guo Gong also said it.
["My favorite girl in Shangjing is Princess Yong'an. She is also interested in you. What do you think?"]
["If you have a heart, Aniang will do it." It’s done for you. If you don’t mean it, I’ll let you choose.”
The emperor even said at a dinner party that all the ladies from famous families in Beijing would be allowed to choose.
Wei Zhao focused on the military camp.
Now he doesn't think about the military camp anymore.
When Hui Niang went out, Yu Tingwan was thoughtful.
She can understand, just because of Wei Shen's mouth, not to mention Hui Niang, even she is worried that Wei Shen will not be able to find a wife.
The little girl looked at Wei Zhao, particularly confused.
“Why don’t you care about such a big happy event?”
Wei Zhao:…
He is not Wei Shen.
What does it have to do with him?
The couple were entertaining people outside. Hui Niang moved the stool out and poured hot water for each of them.
Wei Shouzhong sat at the door of Wei Zhao, able to listen to the conversations in the yard and pay attention to the people in the room.
The woman was well-dressed, and her brows showed annoyance. She took a sip of hot water and her frozen body felt somewhat relieved.
Her eyes were filled with fatigue, and she was the most eloquent in this profession, speaking out to Huiniang.
"My surname is Chen, and everyone around me calls me Mrs. Chen. I heard from brother Wei that he wanted to see a girl at home, so I led the people here."
"Don't worry, sister. They all come from decent families.”
“If something hadn’t happened and I was short of money, and the weather was like this, I would never have been able to sell it in a hurry. These girls were raised and sent to the south, and there would be people willing to buy not to mention one tael, or ten taels. . ”
"I am a cheerful person. As long as the girl pays enough money, I will keep the girl and give you the deed of betrayal."
After saying that, she sternly said to the girl behind her: "Don't come forward yet. Show it to the girls!”
On this journey, the girls were most afraid of Granny Chen. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly stepped forward, trembling.
Hui Niang saw it and couldn't bear it.
“Don’t be afraid. This kind of thing will ultimately have to be voluntary between you and me. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”
She asked several people to sit down again.
"There are not so many rules, no need to be restrained."
"This is the condition of my family, and you can see it. Parents always have selfish motives. My Alang is not in good health, so I will I want to find someone with a good temper who can take care of him.”
