Chapter 108 52
At this moment, Chang Wei and Meng Hetang were driving a horse-drawn carriage towards Caoping Village.
Meng Hetang was speechless.
He took Madam Jiang's fine wine to the provincial capital and made a tenfold profit from the difference.
He went to tell Chang Wei the good news, but Chang Wei actually pulled him aside and asked him to go thank Madam Jiang. What a shame. He also spent money to buy it in the first place. It wasn't given to him by Madam Jiang for free. What was there to thank him for?
He looked at her and said, "You just wanted to meet that Madam Jiang, so you deliberately found this excuse from me."
Chang Wei raised his eyebrows: "We are brothers, you just need to know it in your heart. As for me, I just want to find that young widow and ask her to give me a baby."
Meng Hetang shook his head and closed his fan: "You, you still believe in ghosts and gods, and you believe in fortune-telling. If you are sick, we should go to the doctor. Don't take these crooked ways. Be careful not to lose more than you gain."
After saying that, he seemed to think of something and said, "I see you don't believe the fortune-teller's words, but you really like that Miss Jiang."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just want a child." Chang Wei seemed to have been hit on the point and immediately refuted back.
Meng Hetang opened his folding fan and fanned himself, then shook his head and said nothing more.
Jiang Xiaohe watched the three of them chattering for a long time, and then she lost her patience. She folded her hands and laughed softly, "You have discussed for so long, have you come up with anything? It's getting late, let's break up the relationship earlier so that you can go back earlier. Do you want to stay here for dinner?"
The three of them looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Jiang Ming turned around and said to Zhang Shunchang, "Village Chief, to be honest, it was not our intention to break up the engagement, but now that this damn girl is determined to break up the engagement, we have no choice but to agree. However, if you want us to break up the engagement, we have conditions."
Zhang Shunchang glanced at Jiang Xiaohe, and when he saw that she didn't say anything, he asked, "What are your conditions? Tell me."
Jiang Ming looked at Jiang Xiaohe and raised her head and said, "You want to break up the engagement, fine, but you have to take the money for breaking up the engagement! Your mother and I have raised you for more than ten years, and even if we have no credit, we have worked hard."
The people around were also nodding.
"How much do you want?" Jiang Xiaohe asked quickly.
Jiang Ming raised his hand.
"Five taels?" Jiang Xiaohe asked.
"What five taels! It's fifty taels!" Chen Chunlai rushed up and said.
What?
Fifty taels.
The onlookers all gasped, but some also laughed at Jiang Xiaohe.
"How dare you ask for it!"
"What? Don't you want to break off the engagement? Then take out fifty taels and we'll break off the engagement." Jiang Dahe stared at her arrogantly.
"Puh!" Jiang Xiaohe spat directly into his face.
"You deserve it too!"
Jiang Dahe yelled, the warmth on his face making his veins pop out in anger: "Jiang Xiaohe, I'm going to kill you!"
Zhang Daniu and Wang Hong stood in front of Jiang Xiaohe.
"Get out of here."
Zhang Shunchang shouted, "How dare you? This is our Caoping Village. How dare you hurt people here?"
Chen Chunlai hurriedly pulled Jiang Dahe and used his sleeve to wipe the saliva off his face, cursing, "Jiang Xiaohe, you little bitch, are you going to humiliate your own brother like this!"
"You are really my good aunt! You call me a little bitch on the left and a little bitch on the right." Jiang Xiaohe stood aside and couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.
The onlookers' eyes changed when they looked at Chen Chunlai.
"Yeah, what mother would scold her own daughter like that!"
Chen Chunlai stood in front of Jiang Dahe, one hand on his waist, the other pointing at Jiang Xiaohe: "What? I can't scold you? You are my child, I can beat you to death!"
After hearing what she said, Jiang Xiaohe just felt sad for the original owner!
Jiang Xiaohe ignored her and said to Zhang Shunchang: "Village chief, I will give you the amount that is normal for breaking off the engagement. Besides, since we are breaking off the engagement, many things naturally need to be settled clearly." Jiang Xiaohe smiled as she looked at the three members of the Jiang family.
Zhang Shunchang nodded: "This is a normal breakup, and it's a daughter breaking up with her parents. We farmers only need two taels of silver."
"Village Chief Zhang! You also said that it was a normal severance of the relationship! We are not from the same village, why should we follow the standards of your village?"
"That's right, you want to get rid of us with two taels of silver? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
When Jiang Dahe heard this, he became anxious and jumped up: "You are sending away beggars! I tell you, Jiang Xiaohe, if you don't take fifty taels of silver today, don't even think about breaking off the engagement."
"Fifty taels? Hahaha..." Jiang Xiaohe laughed.
Jiang Dahe: "What the hell are you laughing at!"
"I laugh at you, you are a fart."
"you...."
"What's wrong with me?" Jiang Xiaohe looked at the family of three.
"Did I give you face? I let you ask for such a huge sum here, and even fifty taels! Why don't you go back and look in the mirror and see what kind of person you are! You are a toad that popped out of a stone, and you want me to give you fifty taels? You are dreaming!" She couldn't scold the original owner's parents directly, but she would not be soft-hearted to this bastard brother!
Chen Chunlai was furious when he heard her say "when did this toad pop up?" and was about to speak...
Zeng Hua couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed forward and pointed at the three Jiang family members, "That's right, do you have the nerve to do that? Fifty taels! What a concept! If your whole family doesn't do anything, you can still live for twenty-five years! Xiao He, if they are like this, at most we can still be related, which is better than wasting this money!"
Chen Xiuqun also came up and said, "That's right. When Xiao He and my nephew got married, you took so much money as a betrothal gift. Later, my aunt also gave you money. Why are you so ungrateful?"
The three members of the Jiang family didn't care: "I don't care about you. Anyway, Jiang Xiaohe, if you want to break off the engagement, you must pay fifty taels."
"Then I will keep kissing you."
Jiang Dahe: "Heh... Jiang Xiaohe, I don't know who said it first, but once something is said, it can be taken back. It's only been a while, and you don't admit it?"
"That's right! Now I'm telling you, this kiss has to end no matter what!"
The people around looked at Jiang Xiaohe with sympathy, thinking that she was also unfortunate to have such two parents.
Zhang Shunchang frowned: "You are really asking too much for these fifty taels."
Chen Chunlai stood up with his chest puffed out: "A lot? How could it be a lot? This little bitch ran away from her marriage and made us pay the landlord Chang ten taels of silver! And my husband and my son were beaten up by the lackeys of the landlord Chang! They had to lie in bed for more than half a month before they could go out to work. Otherwise, we would have come to settle the score with her long ago!"
Jiang Dahe echoed, "Mom is right. If we add up all these miscellaneous things, even fifty taels won't be enough!"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Xiaohe and said unhappily, "Do you think that Landlord Chang really wanted to marry you? Let me tell you, if my father and I hadn't found a fortune teller to talk to Landlord Chang, do you think Landlord Chang would want a widow like you? I paved the way for you, but you didn't walk on it. Now don't blame us for asking for so much money. It's your fault that you didn't know what was good for you and cut off our family's financial resources!"
