Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

The scumbag dad immediately hesitated. Whose money is not money?

Huang Yazi could naturally see that his father was not firm, but he had just said that he would not bargain. If he raised the price now, where would he save face?

"You owe the gambling house twelve taels of money, and the interest will increase by one penny for every additional day! I, Huang Yazi, have some influence in Jinyan City. If you sell your daughter to me, I can help you talk to the casino and waive the interest for you." Huang Yazi raised the price in disguise.

But at this time, Qin Lie had already taken off his bag and took out ten taels of silver ingots from it. The white silver attracted the attention of his scumbag father.

Ten taels is a bit too much! The pressure of repaying the debt in the future is very high. Liu Rusi was anxious, but she couldn't think of a solution for a while, and couldn't stop Qin Lie's actions.

But she didn't expect that after Qin Lie heard Huang Yazi's words, he took out two taels of silver from his bag and said to his scum father: "The marriage certificate has been written, twelve taels are for you."

The scumbag father was overjoyed, but still a little hesitant. If he took Qin Lie's money, the twenty taels in his arms would have to be returned to Huang Yazi.

Liu Rusi caught the look in her father's eyes and pretended to be deeply moved: "Brother Lie, it seems that I didn't make a mistake that day. You were willing to spend money on me..."

She deliberately moved to the side so that they could see her, and leaned her whole body softly on Qin Lie, pretending to be very intimate. In the Xia Dynasty, where men and women were strictly separated, this action was considered "shameless"!

Seeing this situation, the scumbag father stopped considering it immediately. It is very likely that Liu Cui had been with Qin Lie. Now that Qin Lie offered twelve taels and refused to accept it, she might not be able to sell it at this price again!

"Okay! Go to my house now to borrow a pen and ink to write the marriage certificate!" The scumbag father hurried forward to take the twelve taels.

"Give me back my money first! I made this trip for nothing!"

Huang Yazi, who had lost face, was furious. He grabbed the scum dad's collar and took out the twenty taels of silver he had given him! Then he snorted at the scum dad and led his thugs away!

The scumbag dad wiped his saliva nonchalantly, covered his empty chest with his hands feeling painful, and then went to take the twelve taels again.

This time, it was a white and tender little hand that opened his claws. Liu Rusi scolded, "Write the marriage certificate first!"

His younger uncle Liu Ronggui had been quietly following behind and watching to see if there was any chance he could help. When he heard the twelve taels just now, he wanted to step forward and add the two taels, but was stopped by his wife Zhao Chunfang.

When he heard that he had to write a marriage certificate, he immediately moved forward again. This time Li Chunfang did not stop him. As long as it did not harm her family, she had no objection to Liu Ronggui's kindness.

Liu Cui's grandfather passed the examination for a tongsheng (a scholar), and he had high hopes for Zhadie and Liu Ronggui, but he failed to pass the examination for a tongsheng (a scholar) twice. Zhadie had no education, but he had no problem writing a marriage certificate.

As for Qin Lie, no one in the village knew that he could actually write. Look at his handwriting, it's much better than his scumbag father's.

Before noon, the village matchmaker had stamped both marriage certificates.

After getting the marriage certificate, the uncle accompanied Liu Rusi back to pack up her things. Liu Cui only had a few sets of worn-out clothes.

The scumbag father watched her packing, afraid that she would take something extra, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Cui, didn't you realize that this scarred star is quite rich..."

"Don't ask me! If you ask, it means I have no money. Even if I had money, I wouldn't give it to you!"

After being thrown into boarding school by her parents, Liu Rusi learned the first thing to do was to refuse unreasonable requests from others. It is best to be tough and unsympathetic, so that others know that you are not an easy person to talk to. Otherwise, if you tolerate it once, you will need to tolerate it countless times in the future.

When his usually well-behaved and sensible daughter suddenly retorted, the scumbag father immediately felt humiliated and raised his hand to hit her!

The uncle quickly pulled Liu Rusi away and was hit on the shoulder by his brother.

Zhao Chunfang was just entering the house with a piece of red cloth, and upon seeing this, she cursed, "You son of a bitch! How dare you hit my man! Since you did that, let's settle the score! Your parents didn't raise you and threw you into my house, and last year you stopped you from selling Xiao Cui and extorted five taels of silver from my family, and you never paid me back for the grain and oil you borrowed from me..."

The scumbag father was most afraid of others coming to him for money, so he immediately defended himself by saying, "I didn't hit my little brother! I was just trying to teach Xiao Cui a lesson!"

Before her aunt could speak again, Liu Rusi took over!

"What right do you have to teach me a lesson? You never cared about me when I was starving and freezing before. If it weren't for my uncle helping me every day, I might have starved to death long ago!"

"Five years ago, my mother was seriously ill and gave you the money she earned from selling vegetables so that you could buy medicine. But you took the money and gambled, causing my mother to die of illness!"

"You have let your parents down, and your wife and children down. Do you think you are just short of money? You are extremely immoral! You have committed so many sins and yet you still dare to act arrogantly. Don't wait until you get rich! Just wait for God's punishment!"

Liu Rusi cursed non-stop like a cannonball, and the aunt who was always in charge of the quarrel didn't even have a chance to speak! She couldn't help but glance at the little girl, who had never shown such verbal skills before!

But compared to before when she just cried, she looks much more pleasing to the eye now.

While they were cursing, Qin Lie came in carrying a goose. He handed the goose to his scumbag father and said to Liu Rusi apologetically, "I couldn't get a wild goose at the moment, so I bought a goose."

Liu Rusi finally understood why Qin Lie asked her to wait at home for a while and then left. She thought Qin Lie was a fool and she just wanted to get rid of her scumbag father. He was so serious that she felt embarrassed...

Then she immediately pushed away the claws that her scumbag father had extended, and simply pushed the goose towards her uncle, saying sternly, "The grace of raising you is greater than the grace of giving birth to you, uncle. You should keep the goose!"

A goose is worth two or three cents! The scumbag father was immediately unhappy and reached out to grab it!

"Why didn't I raise you? The house you live in is mine, and the bed you sleep on is mine! I'm your biological father, so this goose should be given to me!"

Several people glanced at the dilapidated house and the bed made of wooden boards and broken straw mats, and sighed that the humblest people are invincible...

The uncle didn't like to fight for things, but Li Chunfang would not give the goose to his scumbag father. He took the goose directly and shouted, "How dare you say that! When the family was divided, you occupied this old house and said you would share the money or help Ronggui build a house! In the end, you didn't share the money, and you didn't even help carry a piece of wood to build the house! You can have the goose, but we'll go to the county magistrate and settle all the accounts over the years!"

The scumbag father was speechless. The aunt spat at him and pulled Liu Rusi out: "Since you gave the goose to your uncle, you should go to my house when you get married. I can't help you with the grand wedding, so I will just change you into some nicer clothes."

Although the uncle, aunt and Qin Lie all wanted to make the wedding formal, it was rushed and ended up being very sloppy.

Liu Rusi wore her aunt's peach-colored coarse cloth dress. The dress was loose and didn't fit her well, but fortunately it was a new dress without any patches.

There was no pattern or red cloth covering her head. She lay on Qin Lie's back and was carried home by him. Liu Rusi, who finally had time to think, felt a sense of unreality as if she was dreaming.

How could her life change from a modern outstanding college student who won 10 million to an ancient village girl who married anyone in just two days?

But this man's back felt quite comfortable. Liu Rusi's mind wandered and she poked the muscles of his arm casually.

"It's just a few steps away." Qin Lie comforted her softly.

Liu Rusi found that he was a very honest man. He said it would be a few steps, but he really walked three or four steps before letting her go.

Three incense sticks and two red candles, the scumbag father was squeezed out by his aunt and Liu Rusi. He was not allowed to sit in the main hall. The two of them only worshipped heaven and earth facing the Qin family's tablet.

Finally, it was late at night.

Sitting in the simple and tidy room, Liu Rusi and Qin Lie looked at each other.

She looked calm, but her toes were hooked in the holes of her old shoes...

According to the official statement of the Great Xia Dynasty, women should get married after they are 15 years old. However, in ancient times, the average life expectancy was short, and in order to prolong it, women could basically get married as soon as they had menstruation. There were many women from the lower classes who got married early, and the government did not care about these things.

Liu Rusi organized her words in her mind, thinking about how to persuade him not to have a wedding night. "In our Great Xia Dynasty, girls reach the age of marriage at the age of fifteen, right?"

"Yeah." Qin Lie responded, his eyes reflecting the light of the red candle and also reflecting her.

Liu Rusi avoided his gaze guiltily and continued calmly, "Well... I'm only 13 years old, still young."

Hearing this, Qin Lie lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Wait until you reach the age of marriage, and then hold a formal wedding banquet."

"Hmm?" Liu Rusi was confused for a moment.

Then she realized that this fool was still bothered by the sloppy wedding. "Well, we'll see when the wedding comes."

"What I want to say is, normally people get married at the age of fifteen, so can the bridal chamber... wait until I'm ten... eighteen years old?" After Liu Rusi finished speaking, she carefully observed his expression.

For modern people, people are considered adults at the age of eighteen, and they have to wait until they are twenty to get married. But in the Xia Dynasty, eighteen-year-old women could hardly get married, and it was unheard of for a woman to ask her husband to wait five years before having the wedding night.

Liu Rusi said this just for the "house demolition effect". If you directly ask for a window, the other party may not agree, but if you say you want to tear off the roof, the other party will agree to let you open the window. It is not realistic to ask Qin Lie to wait until she is 18 years old, but he should agree to wait until she is 15 years old.

Qin Lie indeed looked very embarrassed.

Liu Rusi smiled knowingly when she saw this. It was just as she thought. She was also prepared to spend some time to convince him.

"can."

"The girl is too young, doing that is bad for her body...ah?" Liu Rusi's eyes widened and she agreed to lift the roof! Isn't he too easy to talk to?

Liu Rusi wondered if he would just give her a superficial consent and then "just hug her and rub her against him." But just as the thought flashed through her mind, she saw Qin Lie get up and take out a quilt from the closet in the room, and whispered to her, "I'll go to the other room to sleep."

Liu Rusi was shocked and realized, "So he is the pure boy! I am the one with a dirty mind!"

Although she was only twenty years old when she was hit and killed by a dump truck, Liu Rusi was not a naive and ignorant girl.

People with outstanding looks will unconsciously attract others to get closer to them, and at the same time, some people will try every means to seduce them to fall in love. As they see more people and methods, their emotional intelligence will naturally increase.

Liu Rusi is struggling in life nowadays. She has thought about using the men who like her to make her life easier. But she knows that using men may come at a price, and she doesn't want to pay it.

In modern times, she always insists on relying on her own efforts to survive independently, and even because of her parents' failed marriage, love is a life option she has abandoned.

But reborn in an era where women are treated like objects, her future of being sold is obviously bad, and she can only choose to use Qin Lie to get out of trouble.

Qin Lie was successfully used by her and paid her a considerable amount of money. After obtaining ownership of her, he could legally and easily demand a reward.

The way he looked at her was not innocent, but why did he so easily agree to her 'demanding' request?

Is there anyone in this world who would be nice to someone for no reason?

After sitting in the room uncomfortably for a while, Liu Rusi got up and went to Qin Lie's room. Seeing him making the bed, she smiled and stretched out her hand, saying, "I'll help you."

"You don't have to work, I will."

Qin Lie didn't let her do it and pulled her to sit on a stool nearby. Although his actions were gentle, Liu Rusi's small body left her no room for resistance.

Liu Rusi naturally also thought of the conversation he had with his scumbag father during the day, and didn't know what to say for a moment. Was it necessary to be so serious?

Qin Lie moved quickly and tidied the bed. Then the two of them looked at each other in awkwardness. Qin Lie was a man of few words, and Liu Rusi wanted to get to know her cheap husband, so she took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Why doesn't your family raise livestock or poultry? It seems that there is no food or vegetables to grow?"

At the 'wedding banquet' in the evening, the aunt planned to prepare a good meal for a few people at Qin Lie's house to watch the wedding process, but found that there was nothing edible in the house. Qin Lie paid his uncle and aunt, and they brought some ingredients from their own home to prepare the meal.

"I plan to join the army and may not come back for a long time, so I sold all the livestock and food."

Liu Rusi suddenly remembered that he was still carrying a bag on the mountain. Her uncle had said before that the Qin family tomb was halfway up the mountain. That meant Qin Lie must be going on a long journey after paying homage to his relatives.

Did her sudden appearance disrupt his plans?

"Then... do you still want to go?" Liu Rusi asked hesitantly.

"I don't want to go." Qin Lie said decisively, and then looked at her anxiously and asked: "Do you want me to leave?"

Liu Rusi could sense his expectations, and vaguely realized that her opinion could determine whether he stayed or left. But for a moment, she just felt that she couldn't bear it. They had only known each other for less than 24 hours! Why would he ask her to make such an important decision?

But facing his expectant gaze, she had to give an answer, so she thought about it seriously.

Everything was too hasty. She couldn't be sure whether the man in front of her was a good match for her. If he went to join the army, she would have enough time to think about this inexplicable life, and it would be natural for them not to have a wedding night.

However, the Great Xia Dynasty was constantly at war, and the death rate for those who joined the army was very high. Qin Lie had saved her after all, and based on this kindness alone, she hoped that he could stay safe and away from danger...

"I don't want you to join the army." Liu Rusi chose to be a person with conscience.

The light in the room was dim, but his eyes seemed to be flashing as he stared at her. Liu Rusi avoided his eyes somewhat unnaturally.

She doesn't know where to start talking about love, so let's just talk about money, which is simpler.

"Did you get that money from selling livestock? Do you make a lot from hunting?"

Qin Lie spent a lot of money today, and he didn't avoid her when he took the money. She probably saw that he still had some money left.

"I earned nearly ten taels from selling livestock and stored grain. I haven't calculated the profit from hunting... My father used to send back the military pay. The last time he sent one hundred taels." His eyes were a little dim.

One hundred taels, should be his father's pension...

Recalling his sad memories, Liu Rusi wondered whether she should say sorry, but before she could say it, Qin Lie stood up, took the bag, opened it and handed it to her.

Looking at the pile of silver and the dense copper coins, Liu Rusi paused for a moment, raised his head and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"There are more than 120 taels left, all given to you." Qin Lie handed the bundle over again, motioning for her to take it.

"Uh..." Liu Rusi certainly loves money, and the background sound in her heart is still wailing for the 10 million! But this white money is not as shocking as Qin Lie's unreserved trust...

Again, they have only known each other for less than 24 hours!

Isn't he afraid that she will run away with the money, or squander it all?

After being shocked, Liu Rusi chose to drag Qin Lie to find a place to hide the money. Please, this pile of silver and copper coins weighs more than ten pounds! She can't carry the weight every day, right?

He ordered Qin Lie to move his bed, dug a hole and buried the 100 taels in it. Then he counted the remaining money for daily expenses, found a piece of paper to write down the amount, stuffed it into a wooden box and hid it under the bedding in the cabinet.

According to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, she was his, and it was impossible for her not to use his money. So she suggested to Qin Lie that they should keep a record of every time they took or put money in the future.

Although this is a hastily put together home, let’s try to live our life seriously for now.
