Liang Zhuzi almost vomited blood after hearing this. He only wanted a hundred catties, but Old Man He wanted several hundred catties. Who was greedy?
Gu Jinli ignored their fight and only said: "We have already made plans for the seasoning and spices. We will discuss this matter later. I can't agree to it now."
Village Chief He and Liang Zhuzi were shocked when they heard this, and stopped arguing. They hurriedly asked her: "What are your plans? Is the spice business promised to others?"
Gu Jinli said: "Not yet." But she didn't want to give them the spice business so soon.
After hearing this, Village Chief He and Liang Zhuzi felt relieved. They knew that although Gu Jinli was laughing, this girl was a stickler for her words, so they did not continue to pester them, but changed their words: "Okay, wait until your family makes more seasonings." Let’s talk about it later.”
Liang Zhuzi was going to sell tofu, so he didn't stay long. After saying this, he left quickly.
Village Chief He was a sensible person and also left.
He San Leizi got married today. The boy asked him to be the witness. He had to go back and make preparations.
He Sanlei was poor. He lived to be twenty-four years old. He finally got married and had no money to hold a banquet. He couldn't even buy a piece of red cloth. He went to the town to work as a coolie for a few days, and the money he earned was only enough to buy half a catty of wine, two packs of malt sugar, a catty of old rice, and a piece of lean meat the size of a palm. Fatty meat was too expensive and he couldn't afford it. He wanted to buy a piece of lean meat and make meat porridge at night so that Chunyue could have a good meal.

But today he got up early in the morning, cleaned the house cleanly, and put a pack of malt candies and half a catty of wine on the table. , waiting for the auspicious time to pick up Mo Chunyue from the village head's house.
As a witness to the wedding, Village Chief He was concerned about He San Leizi’s marriage. After returning home, he asked his eldest daughter-in-law to go to He San Leizi’s house to see how He San Leizi was getting ready.
He Dacang's daughter-in-law, He Liu, went to He San Leizi's house and saw that although his house was clean, it didn't look festive. She ran to the kitchen again and saw that there were cold pots and stoves in the kitchen. There was nothing. She couldn't help but said: "No more We're going to have a wedding in a few hours, why haven't you prepared anything? Not even incense candles or sacrifices, how can we get married?"
He Sanleizi rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I have made little money recently, but I bought wine and sugar, a pound of old rice and a piece of meat. When the time comes, I will cook them as sacrifices to the ancestors, and I can also This marriage was done properly."
"How can you handle the marriage properly with just these things?" Mrs. He Liu had never seen such a shabby marriage. She was too lazy to stay at He San Leizi's house, so she turned around and went home to tell the situation of He San Leizi's house. He village chief.
Village Chief He frowned upon hearing this, thinking that the marriage should not be too shabby, so he took some red paper from home and asked He Jinsheng to write a few happy words. He also took a pair of incense candles, a basket of sweet potatoes, a pound of tofu, A plate of meat oil and six eggs, asked He Liu to send them to He San Leizi's house.
“It’s a big day for getting married anyway, and people of the same clan and clan should always help.”
During this time, the family made money from the tofu business, and life was better than before. Seeing that the village chief He didn't give He San Leizi much, He Liu didn't say anything, took the things to He San Leizi's house, and asked him Paste the word "happy" on it, fry the tofu in meat oil, and then steam the sweet potatoes, lean meat, and eggs to make a decent sacrifice, which will be used for worshiping the ancestors and worshiping the ancestors.
He San Leizi has never been married, so he does whatever Mr. He and Liu say.
After working for several hours, at about midnight in the afternoon, He Sanleizi changed into a pair of clean clothes and went to the village chief's house alone.
Everyone in Dafeng Village knew that He San Leizi was getting married today. Many people came to watch the fun. Seeing that he was getting married in rags, they laughed and said: "Hey, He San Leizi, where did you pick up these clothes from a mouse hole? So many holes?”
He Sanleizi looked at the speaker and replied: "You don't care where I picked it up. If you have the ability, you can pick one up, and then pick up a daughter-in-law and come back, you old bachelor!"
Although the person he was scolding was not married, he was a few years younger than him. Seeing that he was scolding him as an old bachelor, he was very angry and scolded him again, but He Sanshengzi scolded him a few times.
He Sanleizi had been a gangster, and he kept saying curse words one after another. That person was no match for him at all. After being scolded for a while, he lost his voice.
A group of onlookers followed He San Leizi noisily to the head of the village, wanting to see what the bride looked like.
Seeing that they didn't follow any rules, Village Chief He scolded: "What are you doing? All the work in the fields has been done? Are you all coming to see the excitement and making noise? If you want to see the excitement, have you brought any gifts? If you haven't brought them, just give them. I'll go work in the fields, don't come here and ask for trouble!" After Village Chief He beat the He family twice, the He family members are now afraid of him. When they see him cursing, they don't dare to stand around and watch the fun any more. Spread out and go home.
After the spectators left, Mo Chunyue was helped out by Mr. He Liu.
Mo Chunyue was wearing a half-old red dress and a hijab made of half-old red cloth. These things were given to her by Village Chief He’s old wife.
Mo Chunyue has been serving Mrs. He during the days she lived at the village head's house. After hearing about her incident, Mrs. He had been ill in bed for a long time and was very particular about good and evil karma. Therefore, she had some kindness towards Mo Chunyue and gave her the red cloth from the bottom of the box and asked her to do it. She was given a wedding dress, a piece of cotton cloth, a basket with complete sewing and threading, and an old trunk as dowry, so that she could get married decently.
He Sanleizi saw Mo Chunyue and rubbed his hands nervously. He couldn't say anything and just kept giggling.
Village Chief He urged him: "Stop standing there stupidly and quickly take the Mo family girl back to worship. After an auspicious time, it is unlucky."
"Hey, hey, let's go back now." He Sanshengzi responded and went to help Mo Chunyue. Mo Chunyue was a sensible person and pulled him to kneel down together and kowtow to Village Chief He: "Chunyue, thank you Village Chief for your kindness. , If it hadn’t been for the village chief, San Leizi and I wouldn’t have been able to get married.”
Seeing this, He Sanleizi followed her and thanked Village Chief He.
Mo Chunyue took He San Leizi to Mrs. He's house and kowtowed to her three times before following He San Leizi back home and paying homage to the church.
This marriage is considered to be consummated.
Village Chief He knew that He San was poor and had to keep some food to live on, so he did not eat at his house. He only took half a pack of candy, drank a glass of water and wine, and after observing the etiquette, turned around and went home.
After Village Chief He left, Mo Chunyue lifted her hijab and asked He Sanleizi: "Did you get the job you asked for?"
It was Mo Chunyue who brought up the matter of going to the Gu family to ask for work, but several days passed and He Sanlizi never told her the result.
When talking about this matter, He Sanleizi's face turned bad.
Mo Chunyue saw him and asked him, "What's wrong? Didn't you get it? Then go and ask a few more times. The Gu family is kind-hearted. If you ask a few more times, the Gu family will definitely agree."
He Sanleizi used to be a gangster, and his reputation was bad. It was natural that the Gu family did not dare to use it at first.
He Sanleizi was very embarrassed and said to Mo Chunyue: "You don't know Gu Xiaoyu's temper. He is a man who tells the truth."
"What do you mean? Could it be that she has rejected us?" Mo Chunyue was very anxious: "We still owe debts. If we can't get a job, how can we repay the debts? What exactly did she say? Please tell me carefully. .”
He Sanlei had no choice but to tell them about Gu Jinli asking them to sell themselves and sign a ten-year death contract.
After hearing this, Mo Chunyue was stunned, but she admired Gu Jinli very much: "This little girl is very smart."
