Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

After Ye Zhiqiu left, the few people who stayed behind began to formally discuss the marriage.

Grandfather Ye and Landlord Yang argued back and forth over the amount of the bride price, and neither of them was willing to give in. Fortunately, there was a matchmaker to mediate the atmosphere, otherwise the two of them would have walked away long ago.

In the end, it was Grandfather Ye who was more skilled, or he was a rare talent, and with his "you love it or not" mentality, he successfully suppressed the landlord Yang's family who were eager to marry him, and raised the bride price to fifty taels by himself.

This is not a small amount. The villagers around the Ye family can save one tael of silver a year. The Yang family can take out 50 taels of silver, but it will be enough for Landlord Yang to feel pain for a long time. If he didn't want to have a grandson who was blessed, he would not be willing to spend such a large sum of money to marry his son. The daughter-in-law mentioned above was unlucky and gave birth to a useless granddaughter.

Thinking of his former daughter-in-law, Landlord Yang cursed inwardly. Who could have thought that someone on the road to escape would be attracted by the beauty of his former daughter-in-law and want to take her away by force? Fortunately, the relationship between his son and daughter-in-law was not so deep that it was a matter of life and death, otherwise he would have cried.

This incident also taught him a lesson. He should not look for a woman who is too beautiful. A family like theirs cannot protect a woman who is too beautiful. Instead of looking for a beautiful one, it is better to find a smart one.

Don’t blame the former daughter-in-law’s family for being cruel. If you want to blame someone, blame her for being too beautiful and being favored by the rich and powerful master. They could only offer her up and pray for peace.

Yang Ren, the stupid son of a landlord, also felt that his father was right. It would be better to find someone with an ordinary look. Pretty women are nice, but they can't stand being cuckolded. Which man likes colored hats?

This silly girl from the Ye family is not bad. She is neither pretty nor ugly. The most important thing is that the Ye family does not have much money, and he has the final say in marrying her home. He can beat her or scold her as he pleases.

The father and son were both dreaming, not knowing that Ye Zhiqiu was a ruthless man. If they really married him, there would be no peace in the family. The landlord's wife didn't like Ye Zhiqiu, but unfortunately her thoughts were not important, and the father and son didn't take her words seriously.

That is to say, the father and son are both grown men, and the matchmaker is a woman. They were brought out for the sake of reputation and out of necessity. Normally, the landlord's wife had no chance to speak at home. She had to listen to the father and son on all matters, big or small, and her only job was to do the work.

Landlord Yang went back and started preparing for the betrothal gift, trying to marry Ye Zhiqiu as quickly as possible. He felt that marriage was not normal at the moment, and when the impact of the disaster was over, the value of a well-educated and well-mannered girl like this might increase, and fifty taels of betrothal gift might not be enough.

For the sake of peace of mind, it is better to become a member of the Yang family as soon as possible. Then, no matter how the bride price increases, it will have nothing to do with them.

The Yang family acted quickly, and Grandfather Ye was not ambiguous. He called Ye Zhiqiu over after receiving the betrothal gift and announced the marriage in front of the whole family. While speaking, he kept paying attention to Ye Zhiqiu's expression, worried that she would not recognize the marriage and make a scene in front of the whole family. Who knew that everything would be fine until the end.

Ye Zhiqiu accepted the marriage calmly. Not only did Grandfather Ye have doubts in his heart, but other people in the Ye family also felt that this was not like her at all. During this period of time, the Ye family finally understood her and knew that she was not an easy person to get along with. She would fight for everything and make a scene if there was any injustice.

The Ye family really couldn't do anything to her. They couldn't win in a fight, and they didn't know who would suffer if they made a big fuss. In the end, they could only blame themselves for their bad luck. The family gathered together to comfort themselves, saying that she would be married soon, and it would pass if they just endured it.

Grandfather Ye also strictly forbade the family members to anger Ye Zhiqiu, and told them to wait until she got married, and let her make a fuss for the high price of the bride price. The family members had good intentions, but they did not expect that Ye Zhiqiu had already found out where Grandfather Ye hid the money, and took away all the bride price money when there were many people at the wedding.

As for the Ye family's original money, she took half of it, and left the other half untouched but deliberately scattered around the room. This was just to deliberately confuse the eyes, as she didn't want the Ye family to cast suspicious eyes on her.

Grandfather Ye discovered something was wrong only after she got married, but there were many relatives at home at that time, and he was too proud to even shout "bad thieves" for fear of being embarrassed or attracting a second wave of thieves.

After seeing off all the relatives, he gathered his family together to ask who had entered his house during the day. The result was naturally not optimistic. The Ye family didn't pay much attention. There were so many relatives coming, and there were also villagers around to join in the fun. No one expected that the money in the house would be stolen.

"Dad, how much money was lost?" Ye Tongsheng was most concerned about this matter, and catching the thief came second.

Grandfather Ye thought of the lost silver and felt heartbroken again: "It's all gone. The betrothal gifts from the Yang family are all gone, and the money we saved is also gone."

At this time, he played a trick and didn't tell the truth, which made the Ye family misunderstand that all the money was stolen. Everyone didn't care to blame Grandfather Ye for being careless, but only thought about who was the most suspicious.

It’s not that no one suspected Ye Zhiqiu, but today she was the bride and was accompanied by someone almost the entire time, so all such thoughts only flashed through their minds. Everyone was more suspicious of the second-rate guys with bad reputations in the village and the poorest relatives.

In the end, after much suspicion, no one dared to be sure, and there was no evidence. Even if they reported it to the authorities, it would be useless. The officials would not go to the countryside specifically for such a small amount of money. The Ye family could not think of any other outcome except to consider themselves unlucky.

In addition to being angry and furious, everyone also felt a little relieved. Fortunately, each family had their own private money. Even if Grandfather Ye lost all his money, no one would starve to death.

Grandfather Ye also knew this, so he deliberately said that all the money was stolen. He was old, so it would be better to keep some money for his coffin. Now that his sons were all good, he had to keep some money just in case.

Unlike the depressed atmosphere of the Ye family, the Yang family is full of joy. Landlord Yang and his son are happy to have a new addition to their family, while Ye Zhiqiu is simply happy that he can do whatever he wants in the future.

Because of the emotions left by the original owner, she couldn't be too harsh on the Ye family, but she didn't have such concerns towards the Yang family, not to mention that both the father and son of the Yang family were not good people, so she didn't feel guilty about cleaning up.

She played with the silver in her hand. Fifty taels was not a small amount. She was able to get it successfully only because she had the space. If someone else found the place where Grandfather Ye hid the silver, it would not be easy to take it away smoothly.

The money is not needed for the time being, so it is better to keep it in the space for safety and use it when she is completely free in the future. Right now, it is more important to deal with the Yang family first. She must give Yang Ren an unforgettable wedding night.

Yang Ren, who knew everything, had already had his eyes open for the wedding night. After being single for so long, even a sow would turn into Diao Chan, not to mention that Ye Zhiqiu still had some beauty after dressing up. Under the catalysis of the wine, he moved faster with his lustful heart aroused.
