A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 53 Where does the silver come from?

This scene happened to be seen by Liu Yuyao who had been staring at Shen Qingfeng, and fire almost burst out of her eyes!

She stood at the entrance of the main hall and suddenly said in a weird tone, "Dad, Mom, the wedding date has been set. I wonder if the two hundred taels of silver for the betrothal gift have arrived? Let's not let anyone cheat us!"

Several people in the yard paused and turned to look at Liu Yuyao.

Landlord Liu said unhappily, "Qingfeng and his friends came to propose marriage, so of course they gave the betrothal gifts! You are just a kid, why are you meddling in this? Go back to your room!"

After hearing Liu Yuyao's words, Shen Dakuan seemed to be fixed in place by a magic needle. The smile on his face froze, and his legs and feet seemed unable to move!

"Two, two hundred taels of silver!"

It took Shen Dakuan a while to recover and he spoke stutteringly.

When Landlord Liu saw Shen Dakuan's expression, he guessed that he didn't know about the betrothal gift yet, and turned around and glared at Liu Yuyao.

No matter how spoiled Liu Yuyao was, he was still a little afraid of his father. He snorted coldly and went back to his room angrily.

Shen Qingfeng was calm. The Shen family would know about this matter sooner or later. But Liu Yuyao showed up and revealed the matter in advance!

He glanced at the gate, but Xu Guihua had already disappeared. She must have left and didn't hear what Liu Yuyao said, otherwise she would have made a scene regardless of the occasion!

Shen Dakuan didn't even bother to greet Landlord Liu and just dragged Shen Qingfeng out.

"Ugh……"

Landlord Liu wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say! After all, it was their Shen family's business, so let Shen Qingfeng solve it himself!

As soon as the father and son walked out of the Liu family's yard, Shen Dakuan couldn't wait to ask, "Qingfeng, did you really give the Liu family 200 taels of silver? Tell me, where did you get so much money?"

Shen Qingfeng said calmly: "Dad, the money was given by my younger sister. Some time ago, my younger sister saved a young lady from a wealthy family, and they gave me the money as a thank you."

"What? Are you telling the truth?"

Shen Dakuan looked at Shen Qingfeng, half believing and half doubting.

Shen Qingfeng said calmly: "Dad, of course it's true. It's a family surnamed Zhou in the town. Dad can go and ask around."

Hearing him say this, Shen Dakuan believed it a little. He asked, "How much money did that family give Qingqian?"

Shen Qingfeng said: "I don't know about this, my little sister didn't say anything."

"Then you never asked?" Shen Dakuan asked suspiciously.

Shen Qingfeng said: "Didn't mother tell you that my younger sister has also been separated from the family? Now I am a family with my elder sister, so I can't ask too much."

"Humph!"

Shen Dakuan said angrily: "Your mother told me about this matter! This unfilial daughter wants to cut off ties with the family without my consent. No way!

Tell me where she is and I will bring her back today."

Shen Qingfeng sneered in his heart. Qingqian had been away from home for such a long time, but Shen Dakuan had neither looked for her nor asked him about Qingqian's whereabouts.

Now that I know my younger sister has money, I must take her back!

Shen Qingfeng said: "My eldest sister opened a shop in town, and my younger sister and I are helping out there now."

Several people in the village already know that they have opened a hot pot restaurant, including the village chief's family, landlord Liu, and Gao Xiuwen. Sooner or later, the news will spread in the village.

Rather than letting Shen Dakuan and Xu Guihua find out from other people and become suspicious, it would be better for him to say it directly!

"Qinglan? Where did she get the money to open the shop? Could it be that Qingqian also gave it to her?"

"Yes!"

Shen Qingfeng answered straightforwardly.

Shen Dakuan felt even more upset. Qingqian, that damn girl, didn't know how to bring the money home but spent it outside!

And that landlord Liu is simply selling his daughter! Even the daughters of the wealthy families in the town don’t ask for a betrothal gift of 200 taels of silver!

Shen Dakuan also disliked Shen Qingfeng. Since Landlord Liu dared to ask for it, would he be willing to give it to him?

All of his children are ungrateful. He has raised them in vain!

Shen Dakuan said dissatisfiedly: "You made the decision without your mother's and my consent and gave the Liu family 200 taels of betrothal gifts. Do you still care about your parents?"

Shen Qingfeng ignored Shen Dakuan's anger and said, "Dad, other people's families pay for their wives. I didn't take a penny from my family. Does it matter to you whether I tell you or not?"

"Hmph! How could other families spend two hundred taels of silver to marry a wife?" Shen Dakuan said indignantly.

Shen Qingfeng laughed sarcastically and said, "Dad, if I marry someone else's daughter, I only need five taels of silver as a betrothal gift. I'll ask for it from my family. Will you give it to me?"

Shen Dakuan became more and more annoyed by the question and said, "It's come to this point. There's no point in saying more. You guys should take care of yourself!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, not wanting to look at Shen Qingfeng again!

Shen Qingfeng looked at Shen Dakuan's leaving back with a cold expression on his face. He caught the ox cart and took the matchmaker back to the town.

When Shen Dakuan returned home, Xu Guihua was telling Shen Jiao and Shen Mei about what Shen Qingfeng had brought to Landlord Liu's house, with a look of indignation on her face.

"Jiaojiao, Xiaomei, you don't know, Shen Qingfeng, that heartless man, brought so many good things to the Liu family, but only gave us 500 coins!

The Shen family really raised him in vain! Their sisters are all ungrateful people! "

Shen Dakuan was also furious. Hearing Xu Guihua's words, he became even angrier and echoed, "Who said it wasn't true? You don't know what those things are? He gave the landlord Liu's family a betrothal gift of 200 taels!"

"What, two hundred taels!"

"Two hundred taels?"

Xu Guihua’s eyes widened as big as copper bells!

Shen Jiao and Shen Mei were also shocked!

"He, where does he get so much money?"

Xu Guihua was a little bit unbelievable.

Shen Dakuan then told the mother and daughter what Shen Qingfeng had said to him.

After Shen Dakuan finished speaking, Shen Jiao sneered and said, "Dad, Mom, do you really believe their lies?

What do you mean by saving the daughter of a rich family? The sisters Shen Qingqian and Shen Qinglan have been living in the town and not going home for a while. In my opinion, these two must have hooked up with a rich wild man! "

"Third sister is right! How could Shen Qingqian have the ability to save people? Maybe the two of them are someone's mistresses!"

Shen Mei also echoed, speaking confidently as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Shen Dakuan listened to his two daughters and thought it made sense, so he said, "I was thinking that if that damn girl Qingqian really married into a rich family and got rich, I would go find her and ask her to bring back the money.

If that's the case, then forget it. The sisters did such a shameful thing, and letting her come back would only ruin the family's reputation and would also implicate Jiaojiao and Xiaomei."

Xu Guihua was a little unwilling and said, "But, the two hundred taels of silver were given to the Liu family for nothing? Otherwise, we go and get the money back?"
