The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Yan Peng comforted him a few words, then thought of the serious matter he wanted to say, and spoke with a serious face.

"Milk, I'm getting married."

"What? Getting married? Which girl is from that family? How come you don't know about such a big thing?"

Yan Yao on the side smiled and said: "My future sister-in-law is the apple of Mr. Su's eye from Hongle Academy."

Wang Dahua burst into tears and smiled: "Hey, that's a serious and scholarly daughter of a wealthy family. Brother Peng is really powerful. If you can marry Mr. Su's daughter, Mr. Su will definitely take care of you in everything from now on."

Yan Peng smiled and nodded: "Sir, he thinks that his grandson is a down-to-earth person, so he is willing to betroth Miss Su to me. From now on, when Miss Su comes into our house, I hope that I can take good care of her."

"That's natural. This is a good thing to bring glory to the family. When Miss Su comes in, I will definitely give her less work."

In Wang Dahua's heart, even if a wealthy lady married in, she would still have to work, so it would be extremely merciful to work less.

Yan Peng didn't say much. This marriage came too suddenly. He was the one who planned Jiang Ci, but he accidentally made him marry Su Xiaotian.

Although he received a beating, Su Mocheng was able to marry Su Xiaotian, so the beating was not in vain.

"Brother Peng, what's going on with the bruises on your face?"

Yan Peng's eyes flashed guiltily.

"It's okay, I accidentally fell."

"As long as it's okay, when are you planning to set the wedding date? How much do you plan to ask for as a gift from the Su family?"

"My grandson and Mr. Su have agreed that the wedding date will be at the end of this month. After all, Miss Su comes from a scholarly family, so the bride price cannot be too shabby. My grandson wants to give 50 taels of silver, a set of silver jewelry and a pair of wild geese."

These were all requested by the old man in Sumo City. He slept with a girl, so he couldn't agree to marry her.

"Fifty taels of betrothal gift? Isn't it too much even for a rich lady? Doesn't the Su family value Brother Peng's talent?"

At this moment, Wang Dahua was already dissatisfied with Su Xiaotian, whom she had not yet met.

"Damn old woman, stop saying a few words!" Yan Tieniu walked in with his back hunched over.

"If Brother Peng can marry Miss Su, the help he will receive will not be worth the 50 taels of silver."

Wang Dahua glared at Yan Tieniu.

"If you have the ability, please come up with 50 taels of silver. If you don't have the ability, don't talk nonsense. For us country people, at most [-], [-] taels of silver are enough to marry a wife. Even if she is from a scholarly family, she can't be so rich, right? Such a person Can you take care of Brother Peng if you marry him?"

Wang Dahua turned around and persuaded Yan Peng: "Brother Peng, let's just forget about this marriage. Zhenzhen from your uncle Xiangzi's family is pretty good, not bad in appearance, and is very well-behaved and sensible. The most important thing is that the girl has been growing up since she was a child. like you."

Yan Peng's face turned cold.

"Hey, can Yan Zhenzhen, a girl from the countryside, compare with Mr. Su's daughter? If I marry Yan Zhenzhen, what help can she bring to me? But if I marry Miss Su, Mr. Su will definitely spend all his life on it. He taught me everything he could, and he also spared no effort to help me establish connections with noble people. This help is so important to me, a powerless student from a poor family."

"But we really can't afford the 50 taels of silver and a set of silver jewelry."

Yan Peng took a deep breath. He didn't expect his family to be able to help him.

"I will figure this out myself, so you don't have to worry about it."

Sometimes he really envies the rich and powerful young masters who don't have to worry about their livelihood, let alone have to sacrifice themselves for a few taels of silver.

Thinking of the silver in Yan Shu's hand, a gloom flashed in Yan Peng's dark eyes.

-

"Mom, it's not good, something serious is going to happen!"

Yan Wu ran into the house sweating profusely with two buckets of water.

Liu Wenniang and Yan Shu walked out of the house together.

Seeing Yan Wu's anxious look, Yan Shu asked with concern: "Second brother, what happened?"

Yan Huai walked over and helped put down the pole on Yan Wu's shoulders.

Yan Wudao: "Refugees have entered our Xinghua Village. Some people brought their families to our house to beg for food. I asked about it and found out that they escaped from northern Xinjiang. An uncle said that there is chaos there now. The common people are all heading south, and a large number of refugees will arrive in a while."

Yan Shu's eyes darkened slightly, what was supposed to come had come.

The refugees are heading south, and it won't be long before chaos breaks out here.

"And... there's another thing. A lot of dead fish suddenly appeared on the water of the river outside our village. The villagers are now running to catch fish. Third brother, you take the basket and we will go there too. Catch a few, mother, and close the courtyard door. I heard that some refugees fleeing from famine will steal things from the village."

"Okay, I'll lock the door after you leave."

"Second brother, third brother, I'll go take a look with you."

The death of a large number of fish was not a good sign, and she needed to go and verify it herself.

"Okay, let's go."

The three of them each carried a basket and came to the river. As expected, many villagers had heard the news and came to pick up fish.

Yan Shu stood by the river and looked towards the river. There were a large number of dead fish floating on the calm river, and the densely packed fish belly was white and oozing.

Yan Huai sighed: "I am afraid that all the fish in our river will die. I have never seen such a thing before."

Yan Wu rolled up his trouser legs: "Third brother, come with me to the river to fish. Third sister, just stand by the river and wait."

"it is good."

Those who go to the river to catch fish are all men and some older women. Young wives and girls stand by the river to help guard the fish they catch.

Yan Shu picked up a dead fish from the river and examined it carefully. The fish looked very fresh and had just died. There were no signs of illness. It looked more like it had died suddenly due to some huge accident.

Is there a problem with the water quality?

While he was thinking, a group of people in rags suddenly ran over from a distance.

Yan Shu raised his eyes and looked at them. This group of people should be refugees going south.

All of them had unkempt hair and sallow faces. They must have suffered a lot while escaping from famine.

This group of refugees also heard that there were a lot of dead fish in the river, so they came over to catch some fish to fill their stomachs.

Dozens of people came one after another and rushed into the river to grab fish. The men in Xinghua Village were not happy to see this.

Someone took the lead in driving them away, but this group of refugees was quite arrogant and started fighting if they disagreed.

Hundreds of people were fighting in the river, and Yan Shu looked worriedly at Yan Wu and Yan Huai.

Fortunately, the two of them were smart and had already dragged the basket to the shore.

"Second brother, third brother, let's leave quickly."

This is not a place to stay for a long time, I'm afraid there will be some casualties soon.
