In the evening, Zhang Tieniu returned home. When Tieniu Niu saw her son back, she was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. It was Zhang Luo who cooked the dishes and boiled the wine.

"I'm finally back. I've been thinking about your father and I a lot these days. I'm afraid something might go wrong the first time you go out on a business trip..." Iron Niu's mother's ramblings were interrupted by Iron Niu's father.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Tieniu has been smart since he was a child, so what can happen if you just follow me." Iron Niu's father sat down at the table with a wooden crutch. Iron Niu's mother was busy, and Tieniu's father asked her to buy two kilograms of meat.

, "It's not easy to go out and run errands. If you can't eat well or sleep well, give Tieniu a good rest."

During dinner in the evening, Zhang Tieniu was always looking sleepy. The couple just thought he was tired and didn't care.

"Tieniu, what do you think of Qin Xiu, the second girl from the Qin family's tailor shop?" Tieniu Niu smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyebrows. She met Qin Xiu Niu two days ago and said she was willing to pay twenty taels of silver for her dowry.

As happy as anything.

This is not a small number, most people only spend more than a dozen taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law. Some poor families even spend only five or six taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law. Some girls' dowries are only a pair of old clothes.

Iron Cowgirl was the one back then, and she was laughed at by her sisters-in-law. The history of blood and tears is simply unbearable to look back on.

The Qin family has only one widow leading two daughters. Widow Qin used to be an embroiderer in a wealthy family and has quite a fortune.

Two years ago, the eldest girl of the Qin family got married, and now there is only one old girl left. Widow Qin was afraid that her daughter would be offended by her husband's family, so she was willing to pay more in dowry.

Although the dowry cannot be left to the mother-in-law to keep, it still belongs to the young couple, and it is their own money after all.

"There is also Zhang Dashan's family in Shanlitun. His family has 100 acres of land. He said he was willing to give him six acres of high-quality land, but his girl is a concubine..."

"No more..."

Zhang Tieniu slammed his chopsticks on the table, startling the couple and looking at him.

"It's okay, I ate a bit too much, I'm going out to eat for a while." Zhang Tieniu stood up and went out, leaving only the couple looking at each other...

After leaving the house and walking a few doors, I stopped at the door of Li's house and looked in through the courtyard wall. There were no lights in the house. Did you go to bed so early?

Of course, Li Qingyou would not go to bed so early. It was just getting dark now. She had just cooked the meal and was eating in the Xili Room with her brother.

Afraid that someone would discover Adi's presence, Li Qingyou deliberately covered the window with a quilt so that no light could penetrate, and the outside thought that no one was at home.

"Does that mean the Li family can't come to make trouble again in the future?" Adi also heard about what happened in the Yamen, and his face was filled with surprise and joy.

The Li family is not a good family, and Sister Qingyou will definitely be offended if she goes to their house.

"Absolutely." Li Qingyou nodded, but she didn't dare to take it lightly. Money and silk moved people's hearts. In the eyes of the Li family, she was an outsider, so it might not be that easy.

I don’t know where the guy I’m looking for ran away to. It was clearly agreed upon, otherwise there wouldn’t have been such trouble. Could it be that he lost his money and ran away?

If I had known earlier I wouldn't have paid.

"It's a pity that you still have to stay in the house for a while." Li Qingyou looked guilty, "I'll see if there is anything else I can do tomorrow."

It's not a problem to stay in the house all the time. Not to mention that when my brother is playful, even as an adult he would be bored if he could only wander around the house all day long.

Adi said sensibly that it was okay. He understood the seriousness of the situation better than Li Qingyou, and the longer he hid, the safer he would be.

Although it's really boring.

Looking at the well-behaved boy, Li Qingyou went up and rubbed his head. How could those people have the heart to attack such a good boy?

The next day, Li Qingyou thought for a while and caught an old hen and sent it to the Li family. If Zhang Tieniu hadn't spoken in court yesterday, the county magistrate might have asked the Li family to adopt her.

When Zhang Tieniu came back from running an errand, the county magistrate granted him three days' leave. He had just gotten up and was chopping firewood in the yard.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Li Qingyou coming over. He was so panicked that he almost cut his hand. Iron Cowgirl happened to be looking at him, and he was almost scared to death. He was busy checking to see if he was injured.

"It's okay, I just slipped my hand and I went in to drink some water." Zhang Tieniu dropped the ax and entered the house, his steps a little flustered.

Iron Cowgirl was just wondering when she saw Li Qingyou coming to the door. After thinking about it, she understood her son's abnormality.

She knew that her son liked this girl in his heart, otherwise she wouldn't have thought about getting married to the Li family before, but things were different now.

Iron Cow Lady blocked Li Qingyou at the gate, for the sake of the old hen in her hand, otherwise the gate would not be opened for her.

When she heard that her son had asked her to take care of her in front of the county magistrate yesterday, Iron Cowgirl almost lost her temper. Why did she raise such a stupid son?

This girl is not a peaceful girl. Wouldn't it be a disaster for the family if such a woman came into the house?

"I don't dare to be a caretaker. We, from a small family, are not living a good life, so how can we spare the time to help others?" Iron Cow Girl looked strangely angry, but she didn't hesitate in picking up the old hen. She didn't know.

She thought it belonged to her family.

Li Qingyou smiled good-naturedly, understanding what Iron Cowgirl meant, and besides, it wasn't for her in the first place.

"Is Brother Tieniu at home? I want to thank him in person." After all, he helped a lot.

And unlike his mother, Zhang Tieniu is very kind and he has helped her a lot in the past three years.

"No, I'm going to the Yamen." Tie Niu Niu opened her eyes and told lies, "Isn't it true that the county magistrate saw our Tie Niu doing things neatly and asked him to run errands again? He just came back and has no time to spare."

Li Qingyou lowered his eyes, and when he walked over from a distance, he vaguely saw Zhang Tieniu in the yard.

But she knew what Iron Cowgirl meant, so she would wait until they met in person before thanking him.

"Okay, Auntie is busy, so I'll go back first." Li Qingyou said and was about to leave, but Iron Cow Girl suddenly called her to stop her.

"Tieniu is quite a grown man, and it's time to get married. You know a lot of little girls, and you have a suitable helper to keep an eye on her. My aunt has treated you well in the past, can you help her with this small favor?"

Helping is bullshit, but telling Li Qingyou not to worry about Zhang Tieniu is true.

Li Qingyou naturally heard it, and was not surprised. He smiled and said OK, turned around and left.

The Iron Cow Girl looked at her back and sighed, "What the hell, you're seducing a gangster, and you want to harm my son. It's a pretty idea."

In the room, Zhang Tieniu clearly heard the conversation between his mother and Li Qingyou, turned over and sulked to himself.

Yesterday, he ran to Li's house as soon as he came back, and saw a large group of people surrounding the door from a distance. He had been out for a long time, so naturally he didn't know what happened to Li's house, or what he heard people talking about later.

Just found out.

Initially, he saw Uncle Liu and his gang bullying her, and thought about going in to help, but then he heard about Li Qingyou's cousin, and he took back his steps.
