Dad asked Mom to take out some money to send them away.

The mother didn't know how much to give, so in the morning she went to the street to buy food and got some change. She gave six cents to each person, meaning six is ​​a good luck, and also a good start.

The money was given for free, and my mother thought the maids and servants would be very happy, and in fact they did thank them with a smile.

But when she turned around, she heard a maidservant complaining in a low voice, saying that the money she gave was like giving alms to a beggar.

Mother thought that this maid was greedy and felt bad, so she turned around and told father about it quietly.

My father was also curious as to why the person who came here complained that the reward was too little, so he asked Master Wang how much money the reward cost in total.

In front of so many people, when my father asked Master Wang, he felt that the maid was ungrateful, but Master Wang replied coldly:

"One hundred and ten taels."

Dad was stunned by the figure at that time. One hundred and ten taels was not something that their family had, and even their eldest daughter probably couldn't come up with that much money.

When Dad thought of his eldest daughter, he asked Mom to look for Wen Meijiu everywhere, but they couldn't find her. When he asked Zhi Zheng, Zhi Zheng said that Wen Meijiu had separated from them a long time ago.

Since Wen Meijiu had left a long time ago, Dad thought that the money that must be claimed must have been paid by Prince Wang.

Inviting guests to your home for dinner and asking them to pay for the meal out of their own pocket does not seem to be a gentleman's behavior, but rather it seems to be treating others as a sucker.

Dad had a lot of things he wanted to talk to Master Wang about, but seeing that things had developed to this point, he didn't have the face to make any additional requests.

Dad just lay there sulking. It was ok that he had taken advantage of others before, but this time he took advantage of such a huge amount of money. How could he make Wen Meijiu distance himself from them in the future?

But there was that greedy aunt who, seeing Master Wang coming to the Wen family for dinner with such a grand ceremony, she immediately wanted to repair the relationship between the two families and went to talk behind my father's back.

She asked all kinds of blunt questions, such as "Brother, our Meijiu has made it big and found a rich man", "Will Meijiu be his wife or concubine in the future?"

If she didn't say it in public, others would not know who this young master Wang was. They would just think he was some rich distant relative of the Wen family.

After she shouted like this, everyone knew that this Prince Wang was the former buyer of Wen Meijiu, and they said all kinds of things behind his back.

Talk of selling the girl a second time, trying to marry into a rich and powerful family, being a mistress after marriage, etc., is simply unbearable to hear.

My father was so angry that he immediately asked my mother to kick my aunt out.

“Go, take out all the money you have saved and give it all to Prince Wang.

If it's not enough, give them a written agreement, saying that we are not related to them and we can't eat and drink for free."

Dad was very angry, the kind that was extremely angry. Even though Mom felt sorry for the little money she had, she quickly took it out to calm Dad down.

Young Master Wang looked at the five taels of silver and the receipt his mother handed over, but said nothing. He folded them and put them in his sleeve.

Even though he lost money and was in debt, at least the person he owed was not someone like Mr. Wang. His father and mother breathed a sigh of relief and felt they could hold their heads up high in front of others.

They are poor, but they don't want to sell their girls to others.

Dad didn't eat this meal. Mom entertained the guests in the outer room.

A meal with an exorbitant price tag was already too much for the Wen family to bear. If it happened again, it would simply be the end of the Wen family.

After listening to his mother's story, Wen Meijiu was still a little angry, but not as excited as before.

"I understand the matter, mother. It's not a big deal."

Wen Meijiu thought, with so many people watching, her father didn't want people to think he was selling his daughter for money, so he insisted on signing a document for Master Wang.

Young Master Wang accepted it at that time, which was considered as helping his father out of the predicament, but he should have returned the receipt to his father afterwards. Did he really want the money?

"Wine, what are you going to do?"

Wen Meijiu still wanted to go into the house, but her mother stopped her again.

She patted her mother's hand and said:

"Mom, don't worry, I'll go in and let them go."

Mother also agreed with Wen Meijiu's point of view. She went to chase him away, firstly, it represented her determination to break off her relationship with Master Wang, which was the result that both she and her husband wanted; secondly, their family really couldn't afford to feed such a master, and they couldn't let the family go into debt just because of his coming.

"Okay, then you go in, but you have to speak nicely.

If he mentions money, you can say that the receipt was written by your father and has nothing to do with you. Your father has promised to pay it back, so ask him to be patient and wait.

If we really can't get him out, we only have steamed bread to eat at home. As long as he doesn't mind, my parents won't mind adding a few pairs of chopsticks to the house."

When her mother said this, Wen Meijiu felt tight and painful in her heart. Her father and mother really loved her, but what on earth was that damn prince trying to do by doing this?

After agreeing to his mother's request, Wen Meijiu turned around, lifted the door curtain and entered the main room.

There was a tattered table in the main room, with two chairs with missing legs placed on both sides. The missing chair legs were propped up with stones, so if someone sat on them, they would have to do a horse stance with their buttocks down.

Even with such conditions, Prince Wang did not despise it and sat on it steadily, while Zhi Zheng stood quietly beside him.

Seeing Wen Meijiu coming in, Zhi Zheng's usually calm face broke into a smile, and he lowered his head and said to Prince Wang who was sitting on the chair:

"Sir, Miss Wen is back."

Dad is lying inside and it is inconvenient for him to see anyone. Mom is boiling water outside. Currently, only Jinxiang and Lanling are with Prince Wang.

Jin Xiang and Lan Ling were still standing on the ground at first, but maybe it was too long, Lan Ling could no longer stand, and half of his butt was leaning on the leg of another chair, drowsy.

Jin Xiang was not much better than Lan Ling. Although she was not asleep, her eyes were staring straight ahead with no focus.

Zhi Zheng was the first one to see the warm wine. After he said this, the drowsy Lanling and the distracted Jinxiang both woke up.

"Sister, why did you just come back?"

Jin Xiang obviously had a lot more to say to Wen Meijiu, but when she realized that there were outsiders around, she only said this and bit her lip to swallow the rest.

"Sister, I'm so sleepy!"

Lanling was the most genuine. He didn't want to do this job in the first place, but his mother said that his father was in poor health and was sleeping inside, so it was inconvenient for him to see people. He was the only male in the family, so he had to accompany him on this matter.

This prince didn't talk or smile. He was so boring to look at. He also had a stern face and was very uninteresting. Lanling was so depressed by him.

Now that his elder sister is back, he can finally have a good sleep. He feels so happy.

"Then go in and sleep."

Wen Meijiu reached out and touched Lanling's head, wondering why he was so sleepy.

"Sister, I'm sleepy too."

Jin Xiang also felt that the atmosphere here was very depressing. Seeing that what Lan Ling said was effective, she quickly followed suit.

"You can go with Lanling."

Wen Meijiu agreed without even asking Jin Xiang what was going on. She didn't want her brothers and sisters to see or hear what happened next.
