Chapter 522 The dust has settled (3)
After hearing about Mo Yonglu's actions, Mo Yan just raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was probably the only one in the old Mo family who could save him!
Seeing that the ti was almost up, Mo Yan made so secret plans. Soon, the two matchmakers who arranged the marriage between Tietou and Mo Yongxi ca to Lao Mo's house one after another, urging Lao Mo's family to finalize the marriage quickly, because whether it was the kiln girl or the rich man in the city, They all want to get married before the autumn harvest.
It is now late June, less than two months before the autumn harvest, and there are still six rites to be observed in the middle. If we delay it any longer, it will be too late.
Mo Yongxis marriage was arranged by herself, and no one knows the specific circumstances. Since he is a wealthy family in the city, generally speaking, it is unlikely that he will marry a girl with mud-legged background, unless the girl has sothing special. But Mo Yongxi wanted talent but not talent, and had a poor family background. He also had a reputation for being vicious and having bad conduct, yet he was able to get that family to send a matchmaker to propose marriage. Only a fool would believe it if there was nothing fishy going on!
But that family also said that if Lao Mo's family couldn't afford a dowry of fifty taels of silver, they would not agree to the marriage. The reason is that marrying a country girl is already embarrassing enough among relatives, friends and neighbors. If the wife cos in empty-handed, won't her face be trampled into the ground?
Because of this, Mo Hong found Tietou a good and wealthy brothel girl for Mo Yongxis dowry of fifty taels of silver. In other words, for Mo Yongxi's "good" marriage to happen, he must first take down the iron head, and then get the kiln girl's one hundred taels of silver to buy a dowry.
Now the iron head is tight and the two families are in a hurry. Mo Hong has no choice but to find the kiln sister directly. She shalessly says that we will be a family from now on. Now that the old Mo family is in trouble, let the kiln sister take care of the problem first. Give them a hundred taels of silver, otherwise the marriage will have to be scrapped.
The kiln sister's na was Liu Qingqing. After knowing the dilemma of the old Mo family, she actually agreed for so unknown reason. She asked soone to write a receipt for Mo Hong to post, and happily gave the one hundred taels of silver to Mo Wu.
Mo Hong was unwilling at first, but in order to get the money, she had no choice but to put her thumbprint on the receipt. As soon as I got the banknote, I went to the bank to confirm that the banknote was genuine. I held the banknote tightly and couldn't wait to return ho.
With money, it was easier to do things. Within two days, Mo Yongxi successfully got engaged to the Fang family, a wealthy family in the city.
It is said that on the day of the engagent ceremony, the two families exchanged tokens. What Lao Mos family took out was an ordinary-looking jade pendant, but it only cost five taels of silver. Mo Hong was heartbroken when she bought it, but in order to save her daughter's face and let her go to her husband's house so that she wouldn't be looked down upon, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and buy it without rcy!
The Fang family gave her a pair of sparkling golden carved bracelets, which together weighed three taels. It seems that they value Mo Yongxi's daughter-in-law very much. Old Mo Tou and Mo Hongshi are so happy that they don't care about her, and they flatter her for free, making the matchmakers on the side feel embarrassed.
As soon as the Fang family left, Mo Hong couldn't wait to show off the pair of gold bracelets around the village.
Although most people in the village dislike Mo Hong, they are still very jealous of the pair of gold bracelets worth dozens of taels of silver. Those envious eyes made Mo Hong feel proud. She returned ho proudly as if she had won a battle.
Unexpectedly, there was a creditor waiting for her at ho. Liu Qingqing, who had been waiting for ten days but still couldn't get the marriage certificate, ca to collect the debt with the matchmaker and the docunts she had made earlier.
