Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 171: Separation and Escape 9

It's just a little difficult to do. First of all, the matchmaker has to be a trustworthy person, otherwise you'll have no place to cry if she doesn't give you a contract to sell your body.

Secondly, the people in the village chief's family cannot make trouble. After all, the first and second wives would probably feel uncomfortable with the money of more than ten taels of silver. She remembered that when the two sisters-in-law of the village chief came into the family, they seemed to have received eight taels of silver each.

She was also a little worried about her second cousin marrying in that way, afraid that people would look down on her and torture her. It would be fine if the relationship was good, but what if it was not? How would her second cousin cope with it then? Divorce was not easy now.

"A Tao, what's wrong with you?"

Xu He looked at her dazed cousin and tidied her hair with amusement. The person she was most grateful to in the family was her third aunt, who would help her, care about her, and give her food from time to time.

After hearing what her parents said, she ran to the river to commit suicide. It was her third aunt who held her and talked to her for a long time before she finally understood the situation.

"Third cousin, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe our A Tao." Xu He smiled gently. The brothers and sisters of the third room were her closest relatives.

Xu Tao jumped off the stone and patted her butt. She wanted to see Xu Tong's attitude first before making any follow-up plans.

He had not walked far when he turned back, put down an oil-paper bag, and ran away without waiting for the other party to reply.

Xu He was stunned for a moment, then smelled the wheat aroma inside. He opened the box and started eating it in small bites, his eyes red.

"Xiao Tao, do you have something to talk to me about?"

When Xu Tong heard her nephew say that a girl was looking for her, she happily went to the appointment, but she felt a little disappointed when she saw the person.

"Brother Tong, what do you think of my sister He?"

"Xiao Tao, my parents gave eight taels of silver for the wedding. I have saved five taels of silver so far, and I can marry Xiao He with two taels left." Xu Tong had a longing look on his face. If he was given another year, he would definitely be able to marry his beloved girl.

Xu Tao rolled her eyes and listed the problems she would face in the future one by one, staring at the other party's reaction without blinking.

"Xiao Tao, my parents said that we'll split up the family when I get married. I shouldn't have much left by then. If you have any difficulties, I'll help you."

Xu Tao rolled her eyes. How could such a smart man like the village chief raise such a stupid son?

"Peach girl."

"Uncle Village Chief, why are you here?"

"Tao girl, uncle didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just saw the third brother running over and thought something had happened, so I followed him to see what was going on."

Xu Tao had no objection and started chatting with the village chief. It was comfortable to deal with smart people. The two of them quickly determined the general process.

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Xu Chang slapped him hard. When had there ever been a coward in their family?

Not only did he fall in love with He girl, but every time his mother urged him, he always said there was no rush, making the girl waste so much time in vain.

"Dad~"

Xu Tong felt a little aggrieved. He was not smart and must have been beaten by his father.

Xu Chang was too lazy to pay attention to his silly son. He went back to discuss the details with his wife. He wanted to prepare the money as soon as possible.

Although he was the village chief in these years, he had never earned any money by doing anything against his conscience. In addition, he had almost spent all his savings on his father's medical treatment a few years ago, so it was still a little difficult for him to come up with twenty taels at once.

"Dad, please talk to your son. I'm confused now. Will I ever be able to get married?" Xu Tong hurriedly ran to catch up with his father.

The next day, the third branch of the Xu family looked at the items in the house with joy. Although they did not covet their daughter's things, they were still happy that Xia Ming was willing to give them face.

Xu Tao's smile never faded, and suddenly she felt a malicious gaze. She turned her head and met Xu Baoxing's eyes, but turned away indifferently.

Today is her good day, and she can't let anyone affect her mood.

"I didn't expect that Xia Ming is so wealthy and alone. If I had known, I would have let my daughter marry him."

"Bah, don't be so mean. Not only is your daughter lazy and gluttonous, she also often beats and scolds her nephews and nieces. Whoever marries her will be unlucky for the rest of his life."

"You vicious woman, dare to ruin my daughter's reputation? I will tear your mouth apart."

"Come on, bitch, am I afraid of you?"

Everyone was used to it. The two had been arguing about the paddy fields for years, and whenever they appeared together, they would start a fight. At first, some people tried to persuade them, but after more than a decade, no one was willing to waste their breath arguing anymore.

Xu Baoxing clenched his fists after listening to the conversation.

I didn't expect that the poor boy could actually come up with 18 taels of silver. You know, at that time, my eldest sister was sold to an old man with a leg disease and only got 15 taels of silver, and she didn't even have any silver hairpins, silver bracelets or other jewelry.

Why is that bitch so lucky? If she had known that she would fall down that day, then she should be the one who received more than thirty taels of betrothal gifts today, and she should be the one who stole the limelight.

Just wait for her, you bitch, it’s not that easy to take Xu Baoxing’s things.

Xu He felt her younger sister's malice and frowned. Her younger sister's temperament was similar to her own mother's, stupid and vicious. After thinking about it, she was still worried and went to whisper a few words to her cousin.

"Don't worry, second cousin, I will pay attention."

Xu Tao didn't care at all and sent Xu Baoxing on her way after half of the people had fled.

When most people had left, Xia Ming called his fiancée to a small corner. He was about to speak when he saw her silencing him and quickly shut up.

Xu Tao walked to the corner, pulled out three people, and stared at them quietly with his arms folded across his chest.

"A Tao, it's my little brother who wants to come. He started crying if we didn't bring him. There's really nothing we can do."

"Yes, yes, brother is right. We are also worried that he will cry himself hoarse at such a young age, which will be bad for his voice."

Five-year-old Xu Hua blinked her big eyes and said with a silly smile, "Sister, don't be angry. My brothers didn't force me to come here. I begged them to bring me here. Brother, you taught me to say that just now, right? I said it word for word~"

Xu Tao pinched her little face and looked at the small buns with black sesame filling.

"Hehehe!"

Xu Feng had a fake smile on his face, and he really wanted to spank the little brat. He didn't need to say the rest of the words.

"A Tao, I didn't expect them to do this behind my back. I'm taking them away now to criticize them."

As the three of them were talking, they ran away in a hurry, each pushing the other.

Father Xu's face was sullen when he saw his three sons coming back. "What a useless brat! He was discovered so quickly!" He was thinking about whether he should take action himself, but when he heard the cough, he obediently continued with his work.

"Okay, Brother Ming, you can tell me what's going on now."

Xia Ming took out a package from his arms and handed it over. This was the marriage certificate he had saved. Now that he had a fiancée, he naturally had to give it to her for safekeeping.

Following the other party's signal, Xu Tao opened the boxes layer by layer, counted the silver bills inside, and opened her mouth in an O shape.

Ten silver notes of one hundred taels, six notes of fifty taels, five notes of ten taels, and two ingots of gold of five taels, all together they amount to one thousand four hundred and fifty taels.
