Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Liu immediately understood and also wiped away her tears: "Mother, sister-in-law is right. If we continue like this, we might as well separate the family and take care of our own affairs. Otherwise, how can we live?"

"Oh my! What are you talking about?" Feng slapped her thigh.

"Clap~"

Old man Zeng stared with his eyes wide open and slammed his hand on the table: "This is outrageous. As long as I'm here, you can forget about dividing the family property!" After saying that, old man Zeng walked into the room with a gloomy face and his hands behind his back.

It took Mei and Liu a while to react, and they started to howl again: "What a sin! How can we live like this?"

Seeing their mother crying, the children also started crying. Feng stamped her feet and walked into the room.

Zeng Fan knew that the eldest and second sisters-in-law were clearly talking to him, so he threw his bowl down and walked out.

It's really pitiful to have no money. Even if you have a home, you can't go back. You don't have the confidence to speak! He wanted to find Liu Hong, but Liu Hong ignored him.

After going out, Zeng Fan squatted in the corner. He didn't know where to go, and he was bored and started to pick up ant nests.

At this moment, he saw a familiar figure in the distance. He was immediately refreshed and full of energy. That was Liu Hong's figure!

Looking at the direction Liu Hong was heading, she was clearly walking towards her home, because there was only her family in that direction.

"Hey! Could it be that Liu Hong is missing me?" Zeng Fan's eyes lit up. He dropped the branch in his hand and rushed over.

Liu Hong went out of the house in a huff, not knowing where to go. She was just talking in anger, so she walked and walked, and unconsciously walked towards Zeng Fan's house.

"Liu Hong, I knew you would come to see me!" Zeng Fan said with a smile.

Liu Hong didn't say anything, but raised her head and glared at Zeng Fan.

Zeng Fan saw that her eyes were red, as if she had just cried, and he became anxious: "Liu Hong, did someone bully you? Tell me and I will beat him up!"

"My father!" Liu Hong said sullenly.

Zeng Fan was stunned when he heard this, and he had no idea what to do. But he knew that Liu Hong must have something wrong, otherwise she would not take the initiative to come to him.

She used to look down on me, saying that I was poor, but her father wanted five taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

Originally, he got ten taels of silver from Manager Zhao last time, thinking that he could marry Liu Hong, but who would have thought that later Manager Zhao would come to his house and take back the eight taels of silver in his hand.

"Zeng Fan, do you want to marry me?" Liu Hong looked up at Zeng Fan with a serious face.

Zeng Fan was so happy that he nodded quickly: "Yes, I want to! I dream about it!"

"Then listen carefully, my father said that at least ten taels of silver are required as betrothal gift. Otherwise, I will be married to the widower of the cattle butcher in the next village. The cattle butcher is willing to pay ten taels of silver as betrothal gift."

He knew that the cow butcher had a very bad temper because his wife had just died. People in the surrounding area knew that his wife had been beaten by him many times.

"What? Why is your father like this?"

Zeng Fan opened his eyes wide in disbelief, but he couldn't even take out ten cents now, let alone ten taels of silver.

But he knew that this was his only chance to marry Liu Hong.

"Give me a few days!" Zeng Fan held Liu Hong's hands. Liu Hong's hands were cold. Zeng Fan blew hot air into Liu Hong's hands and rubbed them.

Liu Hong had just cried and her eyes were red. The weather was cold and now even her nose was red. Zeng Fan felt very distressed when he saw her.

Liu Hong pulled her hand away from Zeng Fan's and said seriously: "If you really want to marry me, hurry up and prepare the money and have someone come to propose marriage as soon as possible. I have to go back." After saying that, Liu Hong turned around without hesitation.

In fact, she was very conflicted. In fact, she didn't like Zeng Fan very much, but she knew that Zeng Fan liked her from the bottom of his heart.

Rather than marrying the widower of the cattle butcher and becoming a stepmother, with his violent temper, I don’t know how much torture I will suffer.

Instead of this, it is better to marry Zeng Fan. At least he is really good to me.

So after weighing the pros and cons again and again, she still chose Zeng Fan and asked him to find a way to get the money. If that didn't work, she would have no choice but to marry the cattle butcher.

Looking at Liu Hong's back, Zeng Fan's joyful mood fell to the bottom again. He really liked Liu Hong, but he had no money. Where could he find so much silver?

Zeng Fan first thought of looking for his father, Old Man Zeng. When the old couple heard Zeng Fan asking for so much silver, they were stunned with surprise.

Old man Zeng said angrily: "What's going on at home? You know where the money comes from? Sell your parents and see if you can get a few taels of silver. If it's feasible, sell us!"

Zeng Fan said with a sad face: "Dad, I am taking this silver to marry Liu Hong. His father said that he wants ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift."

"Ten taels of silver can marry two wives. What's the problem? Her Liu Hong has a gold-rimmed dress. Why would she want so much silver?" Old man Zeng said with his eyes wide open.

Over the years, the old couple had saved only three taels of silver, hoping to help the third son find a wife. But the third son asked for ten taels of silver, which was like asking for their lives!

The key is not that they don’t want to give, but that they simply can’t afford it.

"Fan'er, it's not that your parents don't want to give you money, it's that your parents simply don't have that much silver." Feng said earnestly.

"This is the silver you gave me that day. I used it to buy two pounds of meat. Take it!" Feng took out more than a tael of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Zeng Fan.

"Mom, what can we do with such little money?" Zeng Fan frowned.

"Ugh!"

Feng sighed and glanced at Old Man Zeng, who nodded.

Seeing the old man nod, Feng went back to her room and took out two taels of silver: "Mother has given you all the money she has saved. I kept this money to help you get married." As she spoke, she handed the silver to Zeng Fan.

Zeng Fan looked at the small change and copper coins in his hand and felt unhappy.

I know my parents lived frugally to save this money, and finally saved this money to marry me off. But this money is not enough.

Mei and Liu were eavesdropping through the door at this moment. Now they could no longer hold their breath, and the eldest sister-in-law, Mei, was the first to open the door and come out.

Looking at the money in Zeng Fan's hand, he said, "Mom, there is money given to you by my boss, it's for us to buy food, why did you give this money to Uncle San?

Right now, my family is barely making ends meet, so we might as well use the money to buy food.”

Seeing the eldest sister-in-law walk out, Liu came out immediately and said, "The eldest sister-in-law is right. All this money was earned by the two brothers working hard outside. Third uncle has never brought a penny home. Why should he use this money to marry a wife?"

Zeng Fan felt a headache and pushed the money back: "Mom, my elder and second sisters-in-law are right, use the money to buy food, I will find a way myself." After saying that, Zeng Fan walked out of the house.

However, he kept the one or two taels of silver that he had given to his mother before.
