004: Give charcoal in the snow to buy people's hearts

If Mrs. Zhao had enough wisdom, she would not ask for this money. Money is very attractive, especially a huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people in this era. What it brings is definitely not happiness, but disaster.

I'm afraid that in less than a night, the news that Mrs. Zhao got a huge sum of money will spread among the ruffians. After all, from ancient times to the present, people who take risks for the sake of money don't know who they are.

Of course, this money is a different situation for her. After all, the money is safe for the time being when she enters the Jie family. The Jie family can be considered a wealthy local family.

She would not tell Mrs. Zhao these truths. Kind words can never persuade a damned person to die, and a person who cannot be merciful will die.

What's more, Mrs. Zhao also has a responsibility for the original person's departure. If she hadn't helped connect Jie and Xu's family in order to make money, even if the original person didn't live a happy life, at least she would still be alive, right?

Mrs. Zhao happily hugged the money in her arms tightly. When she saw the greedy eyes of the people around her, she immediately stared back fiercely. What are you looking at? This money belongs to me, no one can try to take advantage of it.

Mrs. Zhu, who was catching up behind her, saw that Chang San'e's cheap hoof actually gave the money to Mrs. Zhao. She was so angry that her head was about to smoke. She took off her shoes and said, "Chang San'e, I'll beat you to death, you're a prodigal..."

…”

How could Chang Xi stand there and let Zhu make trouble?

She quickly got on the sedan chair and continued to let Zhao Po take the lead, "Godmother, I'll leave the rest to you."

While talking, he patted the remaining one hundred taels in his arms, hinting that Mrs. Zhao would still have money to take.

Mrs. Zhao's muddy old eyes lit up and she nodded hurriedly, "San'e, you go to Jie's house first. There is a godmother here to support you."

The Jie family's grandma who had been silent until now looked at Chang Xi with a slightly inquiring look. Chang San'e's temperament was different from what she had learned before.

"Mommy, we can go."

Chang Xi smiled and looked at the wedding grandma. At this moment, she was not afraid of the old grandma's inquiring eyes. It was impossible for her to endure her temper and play Chang San'e, so she would realize this early in the morning.

Plant them.

Of course, if the Jie family wants to break the contract and not marry his wife, she will be even more happy to hear it. Anyway, she is the target. If the Jie family wants to find bad luck, they will naturally have to target the Xu family. This is called injustice and debts.

The wedding maid of the Jie family didn't say much, but signaled the bearer to get up the sedan chair, and the maid on the side followed hurriedly.

Zhu held up her shoes and was about to hit her when she saw the Jie family's sedan chair getting up. She hurriedly said to stop her, "Wait a minute, then Chang San'e stole..." and took my family's money...

Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhao tripped her leg hard, and Mrs. Zhu fell flat on her face. Her teeth even hit her chin, causing blood to flow out immediately.

"Die Qianpo, you..."

How could Mrs. Zhao give her a chance to get up and curse, and kicked Ms. Zhu several times in succession.

Zhu's whole body was in pain at this moment, how could she still have the strength to curse? Even the money given by Chang Xi in Po Zhao's arms, she didn't have the strength to take back now, so she could only stare at Po Zhao with cannibalistic eyes.

Mrs. Zhao was not afraid of her glare, she snorted coldly, hugged the money and hurried home.

No one watching the excitement nearby paid much attention to the way Zhu was beaten with a bruised nose and face. Instead, they looked passionately at Mrs. Zhao's every move. To be precise, it was the money in her arms.

There were constant whispers.

The grandma who was welcoming the bride at the Jie family looked back at the scene after the party was over, and then looked back at Chang Xi in the sedan chair. This lady from the Chang family was really unusual, and she was thinking about whether to report this matter to her own wife.

Chang Xi, who was in the sedan, put the remaining one hundred taels of silver into her sleeve pocket. In her opinion, this money was not much, and her desire for money was endless.

There is no need to be sad about spring and autumn, and she does not have so much time to remember her past life. The past is over, and it is more important to look forward to the future.

Along the way, she did not close her eyes to rest. Instead, she lifted a corner of the curtain on the sedan chair and looked at the bustling street scene outside to see if there were any business opportunities. The most important thing is that money can make money.

She was secretly calculating in her mind when she suddenly saw a ragged boy holding a similarly ragged little girl, walking aimlessly on the street.

Form a sharp contrast.

These two people really existed in her memory. They were the children of the Zhang family's daughter-in-law who had given birth to Mr. Lu's son as Granny Zhao said.

The two brothers and sisters were no better than pigs and dogs without their mother's care. Chang Xi knew this very well. After her mother died in her last life, others thought she had no one to rely on, so they rushed up and tried to step on her. During that time, she took care of herself a lot.

Eyes man.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and focused on the young man. The young man, who was not yet an adult, had a thin back, but the hand holding his sister was held tightly, which showed that he was a warm young man.

If a person still has a temperature, then he is not a walking zombie.

It just so happened that she had no one available right now, or this young man could be her eyes and ears, otherwise it would be more difficult for her to understand the outside world after entering the Jie Mansion, and it would not be enough if her eyes were completely black.

She lowered her head and looked at the silver ingots in her sleeve pocket. She weighed them and found that one weighed about twenty taels, so she couldn't throw the silver ingots to the young man. Too much money was not a blessing for him. He should return it.

There is no way to protect the wealth that comes from heaven.

She touched her head with her hands. She didn't take a closer look at the headdress that the Jie family had put on her. After touching for a while, she found an inconspicuous silver hairpin. She hurriedly took it off and took a closer look.

This hairpin is very thin, not heavy, and the workmanship is not exquisite. After searching the memory, I found out that it was given to her by Xu Dalang when the original owner first got married. Xu Dalang was not bad to her at that time.

Unexpectedly, the maid of the Jie family put it back in when she was dressing her up.

Okay, let's leave it at that. Anyway, it has no commemorative value to the original owner.

She glanced at the mother-in-law who was welcoming the bride, and saw that she was looking away. It was obvious that her attention was not on her. She saw the right moment and threw the thin hairpin at the young man.

It hit the target with one hit, very good, her accuracy was as good as ever.

The young man who was walking on the road felt something hit him. He immediately turned his head and stared angrily. What he met was Chang Xi's smiling face. He was immediately aroused and his anger rose. Is this woman sick?

Out of anger, he lowered his head to pick up the thing that hit him and wanted to smash it back. Unexpectedly, his hand was hugged by his sister who was standing on tiptoes and shouted softly, "Brother, brother, don't smash it, this is a silver hairpin..."

What, a silver hairpin?

The young man looked at the thing in his hand in shock. It was really a silver hairpin. Did the woman hit him with the silver hairpin?

Why does he feel so magical?

Who would hit someone with a silver hairpin? You wouldn't use a silver hairpin to make a joke.

Just when he was stunned, the sedan chair had already passed their brother and sister and was carried forward. He grabbed his sister and chased after her. What did this woman mean?

He chased after her, but when he saw Mammy and the maid next to the sedan, he didn't dare to stop the sedan to ask.

He really knew this woman. The woman at the end of the street who the Xu family married back from the country was very good-looking. I heard her surname was Chang. After all, he often heard people call her Chang when they mentioned her.

This is also a poor person like his mother. The Xu family gave her away to give birth to a child for Mr. Xie Jiu.

Just because my mother was sold off, the grandparents and father at home would scold her non-stop whenever they mentioned her. Then even their brothers and sisters were disgusted with her. They didn't even remember that they could eat meat only because of their mother's money from selling her body.

.

Chang Xi saw a smile on the corner of her mouth when she saw the young man pulling his sister and chasing the sedan chair persistently. It seemed that she was still very accurate in reading people.

If this young man was a greedy person, he would have taken the silver hairpin to exchange for money to buy food. Judging from the looks of his brother and sister, they must not have enough to eat.

It's easy to add icing on the cake, but providing help in times of need is the best opportunity to win people's hearts.

She gestured toward the brother and sister as if they were eating, and then pointed at the silver hairpin.

The young man immediately understood what Chang Xi meant, which was to ask him to exchange the silver hairpin for money to buy food.

This thin silver hairpin instantly increased in weight in his hand, and the hot feeling was like a heart being placed in a furnace, so hot that it made people overwhelmed.

He didn't know why Chang wanted to help their brothers and sisters, but this kindness brought tears to his eyes.

Since his mother left home, he has not felt the warmth given to him by the outside world. Just before this moment, he even thought that even if he stole the money, he would support him and his sister until he grew up.

Then take revenge on those who harmed his mother.

He even thought about carrying a knife and killing all his enemies, with white knives going in and red knives coming out. There is nothing better than this for a happy grudge.

However, the weight of the hairpin in his hand made him hesitate. This kindness instantly cooled his heart of wanting to take the wrong path.

"Brother, brother...that sedan chair is about to enter Xie's house...do we still want to follow?"

The sound of his sister's gasping made the young man pull out of the hot emotions. The door of Jie's family was more difficult to enter than the door of Lu's family. After all, one was from a scholarly family, and most of his nephews could become officials; the other was a merchant,

The two are worlds apart.

"My name is Zhang Yingda——"

The young man's roaring voice came through the air, Chang Xi did not look back, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not go away.

He is such a simple boy, but he doesn't know that every gift has a price secretly marked on it.

Sure enough, she has never been a good person, Chang Xi laughed at herself.

Next, we have to see if he has understanding and perseverance. After all, the test has just begun, and she is not someone who can accept just any cat or dog.

The grandma who was welcoming the bride in the Jie family turned back to look at the two brothers and sisters who were standing outside the gate shouting. Her brows were so furrowed that they could kill a fly, but she thought that the two brothers saw a wedding happening in the house and wanted to ask for something to eat.

Yes, in the end, someone took some food out to send the brother and sister away.

Chang Xi, who was even more dizzy after being shaken in the sedan chair along the way, did not comment on the actions of the bride-to-be, until the sedan chair fell and she was helped out.

As she expected, this was different from a normal marriage. The ceremony was much simpler. After bowing here and there, she was sent into the so-called wedding room.
