Chapter 6 The Dowry
He Tong was so angry that he fell backwards!
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the smartest and proudest one in the village. How has he ever been oppressed and humiliated like this?
Is this still the fat Su family who can only cut people with a knife?
When did become so articulate?
The two classmates and the surrounding people also gathered around. Su Xiaoxiao's words were sharp and clear, even if they didn't know about it in advance, now they understood the cause and effect.
Dare to love because the scholar was deceived by a matchmaker, and then he regretted his marriage on the day of the big wedding, and now he will not return the dowry.
"Girl, how much money does he owe you for the bride price?"
"Twenty-two!"
There was a gurgling sound all around!
It only costs 22 taels to marry a daughter-in-law. Although a door-to-door son-in-law is more expensive, it will not exceed 60 taels. Considering that he is a scholar and handsome, he will give him 10 taels. too much.
but-
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao's fat body, and they probably understood why the price was so high.
This honorable face is in the countryside... No one really wants it.
"Pangya Su! You don't even look at your own virtues!" He Tongsheng said furiously.
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "What kind of virtue do I have, did you delay the dowry you owe my family?"
Everyone couldn't help but nodded secretly, this fat girl has excellent logic, she has never been led by the nose by that scholar.
She talked about things and had reason and evidence. On the other hand, the scholar, who seemed to be in a mess, actually insulted a little girl in the street.
The IQ and pattern of the two people are inseparable from each other.
At this moment, even the two classmates couldn't help frowning at He Tongsheng.
There are more and more strange eyes around.
He Tong said angrily: "Tell, talk, maybe you and the matchmaker lied to me together! Yes! It must be like this!"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "In that case, we will see you in court."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the yamen.
If He Tongsheng thought she was threatening him.
Well, he guessed right.
There is also a man of unknown origin in the family. How could she let the people in the yamen notice the Su family without knowing the true identity of the other party?
But judging from the conversation just now, He Tongsheng didn't know that she already had a husband.
Otherwise, with his face, he would have to scold her for being dishonest.
He Tongsheng is a scholar. If he is stained by this incident, then he will most likely lose the chance to obtain a title.
"Stop!"
He Tongsheng threatened, "Your Su family is domineering in the village, and how many **** things have you done, can you really get out of the yamen?"
Su Xiaoli ignored him.
Fighting psychological warfare, a stupid scholar is not enough to put her teeth in.
As expected, when he came to the corner, He Tongsheng gritted his teeth and bit his head to catch up.
"Su Fatya!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Have you decided to pay back the money?"
The person is still the same person, but for some reason, this smile made He Tongsheng dazed for a while, giving birth to the illusion of Su Fatya's amorous feelings.
He turned his face and said in a charitable tone: "I can refund half of the money to you, and this matter is over."
"You dropped something." Su Xiaoxiao looked at his feet.
"What?" He looked down.
"Face."
He Tongsheng: ""
"Official messenger brother." Su Xiaoxiao walked towards the catcher who was patrolling the wine shop opposite.
He Tongsheng's eyebrows jumped: "Ten, fifteen taels! Fifteen taels are always enough!"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't seem to hear, and continued to walk towards Hu Kuai.
"Eighteen taels!"
Su Xiaoxiao came to catch fast.
"Anything?" Cha Kuai asked.
"I give!"
He Tongsheng stomped his feet!
Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "I want to ask the official clerk how to get to Kam Kee."
Su Xiaoxiao brought 5 taels of silver from He Tongsheng, and the remaining 15 taels made him an IOU, which was repaid within three days.
Then Su Xiaoxiao went to a clothing store.
Buying clothes was not in the original plan, after all, 200 yuan is not much.
Now that she has money, she thought about changing Wei Ting and the three little peas into some country clothes.
"Bought it for the husband and the child?" The proprietress was very enthusiastic.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
came out of the ready-to-wear shop with four taels of silver left in his hand.
She went to the grain store again and bought 20 catties of cornmeal, 10 catties of white flour and 10 catties of rice.
When I went to buy meat, the stall was almost closed.
"How do you sell bacon?" she asked.
The butcher was a young man, he said: "Fifty cents a pound is good meat!"
"So expensive."
"I'm the cheapest here! Go to another house and ask, at least sixty cents!"
"What about fresh meat?" Su Xiaoxiao then asked.
The butcher said: "The business is closed. If you want, I will give you ten cents a pound."
In ancient times, salt was expensive, the cost of bacon was high, and the price was naturally high.
Su Xiaoxiao decided to buy fresh ribs and pork belly and go back and make them.
The butcher saw that she had bought dozens of catties in one go, and asked with a smile, "Girl, there is a pair of pigs here. If you don't dislike it, just take it. I'll close the stall anyway."
Pig into the water was a good thing in the previous life, but it was not so popular in ancient times, mainly because everyone would not do it.
Of course, it is not exaggerated to the point that no one will buy it after throwing it away. After all, the poor people cant eat several meals of meat a year, and the pigs are a bit meaty after all.
"Thanks."
To make bacon, salt and spices are indispensable.
After Su Xiaoxiao finished shopping, it was almost afternoon.
There are so many things, Su Xiaoxiao can't bring them back.
It was also because she was lucky that she ran into Old Li Tou who was driving an ox cart at the gate of the market.
Lao Litou just sold two old hens, bought two catties of brown sugar for his grandson and pregnant daughter-in-law, and also helped the villagers bring some New Year's goods.
"Uncle Li." Su Xiaoxiao greeted him.
Old Litou pulled the ox cart and ran!
Su Xiaoxiao blocked his way.
"Uncle Li, I want to go back to the village, please give me a ride."
In the past, Fatty Su wasn't so polite, she was always calling out to the boss of Li, and she didn't say hello, so she just sat on her buttocks.
If she is lucky, Su Fatya will not give money for the car.
If she is unlucky, Su Fatya will steal some money from Old Li's head.
Old Li Tou secretly scolded himself for being unlucky. He had just been defrauded of money yesterday, and he ran into it again today!
He wouldn't think that Su Fatya was going to raise her hand just because Su Fatya was polite to him.
Old Li Tou was about to cry, but what else could he do?
Make this little bully unhappy, there are two bullies in the Su family who have tougher fists!
Old Litou was crying and let Su Xiaoxiaolian bring the goods onto the ox cart.
Halfway through the road back to the village, the ox cart was stopped by someone.
are the three rogues in the town. The leader is called Brother Dao, who is a few years younger than Su Cheng and has just been released from the yamen not long ago.
He turned the knife in his hand, glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, and smiled unexpectedly: "Yo? Isn't this brother Su's daughter? Such a coincidence."
Old Li Tou's complexion changed.
It's over, you guys, he can't keep the stuff of the bullock cart!
Unless Fatty Su helps him
But Fatty Su couldn't help him!
