C414 Father-in-law's Thoughts
News of what happened in Xia's Village yesterday had already spread across the four villages and eight miles. When the pig slayer sat in the car that cost millions of yuan, his heart was beating fast. He estimated that he would never have the chance to sit in such a luxury car in his life, so he was very careful.
At ten o'clock in the morning, everyone was ready to stop. Xia's Mother took out a fat pig that weighed two hundred kilograms from the pigsty. When it walked, it was a fat pig that weighed two hundred kilograms. It was a little shaky. It could be seen how fat this big guy was.
Killing pigs in the countryside was a big matter. Before killing, one had to set off firecrackers. After killing, one had to cut off the pig's head to worship their ancestors. By the time he was done with all this, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon for lunch.
At this time, Uncle whispered a few words into Yang Qiu's ear. Yang Qiu pretended to be surprised, but Uncle also knew very well and did not point it out.
The news of Luo Tianhai's death had already spread back. Cui Ping and Luo Yongchao no longer dared to come and visit, nor did they dare to make a sound. They didn't even have the thought of collecting the corpse. They just gloomily swept away their savings and left Xia's Village.
Yang Qiu and the villagers didn't ask them to return the money they had spent so many years on corruption. Presumably, this money was enough for Cui Ping to continue living with his foolish son.
After they were done with everything, uncle and the rest started to busy themselves with the village matters in the afternoon. Yang Qiu pulled Xia Yu along and sent the butcher back to play in the town.
The town was not big, but it was small and well-equipped. This kind of town market was especially interesting. Yang Qiu had never seen such a town in his two lives, and Xia Yu had not been here for at least five years. The two of them played until it was almost dark before carrying a large pile of things home.
Dinner was especially sumptuous because they had killed pigs. It was basically a pig feast. Yang Qiu did not stand on ceremony and ate exceptionally much. Seeing this, Xia Yu could not help but laugh at the side.
She knew that Yang Qiu did this to make her parents happy. Usually, Yang Qiu did not eat a meal a day. For him, it was enough to absorb spirit energy.
"Alright, I'm so full, Auntie. If I stay for a few more days, I will at least gain ten kilograms of weight. I can't eat anymore!"
Yang Qiu put down the chopsticks and wiped his mouth with his hand. He picked up the bowl of water in front of Xia Yu and drank a few mouthfuls. He said in a muffled voice.
"Don't be busy. There is something I need to discuss with you!"
Xia's Mother originally wanted to stand up and clean up the bowls and chopsticks, but when she heard Yang Qiu say so, she immediately put down the things in her hands and focused on Yang Qiu, waiting for him to speak.
Yang Qiu let out a long breath and said very naturally,
"Uncle, Auntie. Xiao Yu and I are engaged as well. We will be a family from now on. Don't mind what I say. This house. . . This house is a little old. I asked Luo Tianhai for the 180,000 yuan. I have given the money to Xiao Yu. After the New Year, you guys can renovate the house. When we return home in the future, it'll be convenient for us to stay here, right? "
Xia Chengye and Xia's Mother exchanged a look. Yang Qiu saw that there was no other meaning in their eyes, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Xia Yu's family was too poor. There was not even a decent piece of furniture in the house. Even under the wooden bed Xia Yu slept on, there were straw padding.
On the first night he slept, Yang Qiu almost cried. He hugged Xia Yu for the whole night and could not bear to let go of her.
What a good girl.
Xia's Mother was in charge of everything in the family, but it was obvious that Xia Chengye was the one who made the decision to renovate the house. He thought for a while and said.
"You are right. Don't cheat me of my money and take it back. We have suffered for so many years. We have seen through everything. As long as Little Yu can be happy, it's better than anything else. We won't reject you even if you have such a heart. Even if it's your kindness, we'll just accept it. But I have a few words to say. "
Xia Yu hurriedly threw a glance at Yang Qiu. Yang Qiu immediately understood and obediently acted as if he was listening attentively.
"Uncle, please speak. "
Xia Chengye's face was a little dark. He sighed and said.
"Yang Qiu, I know that money is nothing to you, but the old man is right. You are poor, but you are not old. I am afraid of you spending money like this. "
Yang Qiu smiled curiously and said.
"Uncle, I did not spend money like that. "
Xia Chengye suddenly became excited.
"You haven't spent too much money? Just yesterday, your red packet was worth 1,000 yuan. My God, there are thousands of people. How much is this? It's only a few million, and you're wasting it. I am not qualified to care about you, but. . . You have to know, we are all from the countryside. If you donate to the village, I will support you with both hands. However, in the future, this kind of spending money has to be done less. Since you are engaged, I will not be a stranger to you. It's better for a woman to be in charge of things like money!"
Yang Qiu almost laughed out loud.
Xia Yu, however, tilted her head and glared at him. She snorted and said,
"Dad is right. Pay the money to the public in the future, so that you don't spend it carelessly. "
Yang Qiu looked at his father-in-law and felt touched and amused.
In the end, when Xia Chengye said this to him, it was true that he was shocked by his spending money, but most of it was because he was worried about Xia Yu. He was probably worried that he would let Xia Yu down in the future. At that time, Xia Yu's family did not have any background or backing. If she did not have a bit of money and power in her hands, wouldn't she be at the mercy of others?
"Uncle, don't worry. The financial power of the family is in Xiao Yu's hands. I will do my best to listen to her in the future. "
Xia Chengye became excited and nodded his head repeatedly.
"That's good. You have also made an appointment. When will the marriage be held? I think we should take advantage of this period of time. In a few days, I will find Uncle to break a good day and settle your matters, right?"
Xia Yu blushed and said with her head lowered,
"Dad, we. . . Can only stay at home for a few days, at most a week. It is already the third day. We will be going back in a few days. "
Xia Chengye and Xia's Mother immediately objected. Xia Yu quickly said.
"He still has a lot of things to do and cannot be delayed. The reason he could come back this time was a decision made at the last minute. He squeezed out the time. Dad, Mom, we will come back after the New Year. "
Xia's Mother was a little sad but nodded her head.
"That's up to you. We will not force you to stay. Have fun these few days. Tomorrow, let your uncle bring you up to hunt. When you go back, bring some wild animals from the mountains and give them to your family to have a taste. It is not worth much. It is just a token of appreciation. "
"Right, right, right! I would have forgotten if you hadn't said it!"
Xia Chengye said hurriedly.
"Now is a good time to enter the mountain. Rabbit, deer, and deer are fat. Let Xiao Yu stay at home with her mother tomorrow. I'll bring you into the mountain. "
