The Return of the General to the Field

Xingda was still yelling there, and the crowd was noisy for a while. "Quiet!" A stern reprimand sounded, and the crowd spontaneously moved out of the way.An old man leaning on a bamboo stick, with a big gray beard, wrinkled face, and sharp eyes walked in with the help of a cold-tempered elder brother.

It turned out that the old man was the head of the village.Li Zheng frowned deeply, and asked: "What's going on here?" As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Damo immediately responded: "Master Li, you have to help my Dashuan to decide! Xia He, a shameless bitch My family will never want the hoof, my family has suffered such a big loss, Master Li Zheng, you must help us get justice!" The head of the village looked at Meng Wu: "Boy, what's going on with you and Xia He? ?” Meng Wu respectfully replied: “Li Chief, I didn’t do anything rude to Brother He, he fell into the river, and I rescued him.” “What do you mean by not being rude? I've seen you kiss Brother He!" Meng Dashuan called.Lizheng stared at Meng Wu: "Is what Meng Dashuan said true?" Locked tightly by Lichang's eyes, Meng Wu knew that no matter whether he had that thought or not, Hege'er's innocence was ultimately ruined by himself.Meng Wu collected himself, and said firmly to Li Zheng, "I will take responsibility."

Meng Wu's words seemed to add fuel to the water, and the crowd immediately exploded.Xing Damo rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, you got what you wanted, but you have to pay for the loss of my family. The dowry money for Meng An's country, the cost of holding banquets, labor costs, these miscellaneous things add up... ...You have to pay me at least 30 taels." "Bah! This old aunt really dares to talk like a lion, why doesn't he go for it!" The youngest Li in the crowd exclaimed.Indeed, even though Da Xing gave Meng Tao's family a gift money of ten taels of silver, but everything about the banquet was kept simple, and the cost of the wedding added up to no more than ten taels of silver.However, Meng Wu didn't want to argue with him, trouble!The most important thing is that Meng Wu doesn't want to discuss the price nakedly in front of his brother.Besides, Xia He's body was still wet, his face was pale, and he was on the verge of falling. His condition was very bad.This has to be done quickly.

Meng Wu spent a total of 20 taels of silver on the road for more than two months. In addition to the bank notes, he also had fifteen ingots of ten taels of silver, 25 taels of silver and five copper coins that were exchanged later, but he would not be so stupid. , Take out 30 taels of silver on the spot.He just promised in front of Lizheng that he would collect the 30 taels of silver to compensate Meng Dashuan within a month.

Isn't Mrs. Xing satisfied? He wasn't satisfied with Xia He in the first place, but he was forced to settle on Xia He because no one in the ten miles and eight villages was willing.Now he has decided to go to Renyazi to buy Meng Dashuan a nice one, which is not far better than Xia He.Knowing that this savage with a head stuffed with thatch promised so readily, he should have blackmailed him a few dozen taels more.

Seeing that Xingda got so much money for nothing, Meng Tao, who was standing beside him, went crazy with jealousy, he squeezed his way in and yelled: "This thief took advantage of my brother, how could he be let go so easily?" He must give my father an explanation. If he wants to marry my brother, he must give the gift money." The people around were shocked by this scoundrel's remarks, and Xia He trembled with anger, "Okay! My brother 'Good father' wants to sell me twice." Meng Wu also laughed angrily, although he was willing to use money to solve the trouble, it didn't mean he was taken advantage of, how could Meng Tao have the nerve to say such a thing?

Meng Wu supported Xia He's trembling body, thinking: It's already the beginning of winter, the wind is so cold, Xia He can't stand it anymore, this matter must be resolved quickly.So he said to Lizheng: "I will never shirk this matter. I agree with Meng Dashuan's request. Xia He will be my husband from today. His body can't bear the torment. I hope Lizheng will borrow a place for me." Take him to rest, we'll talk about it later, including his father's request. In addition, I have some things that need to be troubled by Lizheng, do you think this is okay?"

The old village chief looked at Xia He's situation, and found that it was indeed very bad. He thought about it and said, "There are many vacant houses at the entrance of the village, so let Xia He live there first!" Meng Tao was annoyed immediately: "My family Why does your brother live in another house? Does he look down on my father?" The youngest Li couldn't understand Meng Tao's disgusting face the most, and said: "Who in the village doesn't know that Brother He and his father are the same? He sold it for a good price, and he was locked in the firewood house without eating for two days. He used to be cared for by no one, but now he has a husband, so he lives in your house? You don’t even ask if he is willing? "Meng Tao was so choked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and just about to go back, he scolded: "Okay, what's the matter?" "Get Brother He settled first, and we'll deal with this matter tomorrow."

So the crowd gradually dispersed, and Xia He looked at the pair of strong hands supporting him, and felt that he was supported for the first time.
