Chapter 1426 Aren’t You Afraid of Luring a Wolf Into the House and Causing Endless Troubles?

This Zhang Cuicui is Liu Yue.

Liu Wei is 100% sure.

Zhang Yuan was still arguing, and Wei Chou also lost his temper. He was chattering and jumping up and down, causing the restaurant owner to come over and beg them not to cause trouble in the restaurant.

Liu Wei stopped Wei Chou and asked him to sit down.

Wei Chou was upset and snorted loudly to give Liu Wei face.

Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Wei's appearance and felt that he was the one who could make the decision, so he gasped and said, "It's your fault for hurting my sister. My sister is now disfigured. You tell me what to do!"

Liu Wei looked at him coldly, then glanced at Zhang Cuicui who was hiding behind, and asked, "What do you want us to do?"

"Compensation is certain, but if my sister's injury is not cured well and leaves scars, which will affect her marriage in the future, you have to compensate her for a dowry of eight units!"

To compensate for the cost of soup and medicine, even if it is more expensive, a few dozen taels of silver is enough, but to compensate for the dowry? Just a pair of gold ornaments and silk satin would probably cost hundreds of taels, not to mention eight sets of dowry. Adding on, it would cost at least several thousand taels.

Before Liu Wei and others could speak, the diners watching the excitement had already interrupted: "Your sister is made of gold and silver, and she can't afford eight dowries. Do you think she is a princess in your family?"

Zhang Yuan scolded: "My uncle is doing a prosperous business in Beijing. He was promoted to an imperial merchant the year before last. Even if my sister is not a princess, she is not far behind. Let alone eight stations, even eighty stations. She is also responsible for it. I can afford it!”

The diner laughed: "You actually compare your own daughter to a princess. If you do this, do you not want to live anymore?"

Zhang Yuan was furious: "I'm telling the truth. My cousin..." "It's true that your uncle is rich, but he has neither an official position nor a title. His name as an imperial merchant is changed every year. After all, he is How dare a common man, a mere businessman, dare to exaggerate like this? There are so many people in the restaurant today. If anyone spreads this matter, you Zhang family will wait tomorrow.

Just be done with it. "

Zhang Yuan was stunned, as if he was frightened, and looked at the listeners around him in fear.

The people watching the excitement were busy looking around. They were all from the same town. The Zhang family was the mayor of the town. No one would really dare to spread such gossip and offend others.

But after all, Zhang Yuan was not really a fool. After thinking about it for a while, he lowered his voice and said to Liu Wei and others: "Even if you don't need eight stations, five stations are still indispensable."

Wei Chou listened for a long time and knew that Zhang Yuan was a lion's mouth. He sneered and said: "Then you should report it to the official. It depends on the official's decision. With your sister's shabby appearance, I really don't believe that she is worth five sets." dowry?"

"You..." Zhang Yuan said angrily: "What did you say!" "You said your sister is ugly." Wei Chou shouted: "She looks old, sister? She looks older than you. You can see there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Now, do you look like a big girl? What does a juicy girl look like? Li Yu'er, come here, do you see? This is what is called a little girl. She is young and fair. Your sister

What is that? She's dry and shriveled, she looks older than me. She dares to pretend to be a young girl and marry someone else. What kind of short-lived old man wants such a daughter-in-law? Whether she can give birth to a child is not yet known. If she does give birth to a baby later, It's a joke to go out and be treated like a grandson! "

Wei Chou's swearing was really street level. What is street level called? It is also called a shrew. It is always a personal attack. His swear words are harsh and mean. If you don't look at his appearance as a man, I don't know who he is from. The evil mother-in-law is scolding the little daughter-in-law. After Wei Yan finished scolding him, he felt happy. Seeing that Zhang Yuan was shaking with anger and Zhang Cuicui's eyes were red from being scolded, he felt no guilt and continued to yell: "It was our fault for pushing her, but there is a reason." Yes, silly girl, you saw someone throwing rocks upstairs and were afraid of hitting your sister.

Push her away. Who knew that your sister is like tofu? She became like this after just a little knock. The silly girl also had good intentions. It was her fault that she missed too much. But you keep chasing her, so you are justified? Still disfigured? It’s just that broken face, it doesn’t make any difference whether it’s broken or not. "

When Zhang Cuicui heard this, she couldn't help but ran out crying, covering her face.

Zhang Yuan wanted to continue the theory, but also wanted to chase his sister. After a final weigh, he still wanted to chase his sister. At the same time, he said harshly to Liu Wei and others: "You guys wait, just wait for me!"

After the people left, the excitement in the restaurant gradually dissipated. Wei Chou sat down and found that Liu Wei, Rong Leng, and Xiao Li were all looking at him. He snorted and said proudly: "You're welcome."

Xiao Li slowly turned away and picked up some food for his great-grandfather. Liu Wei and Rong Leng also lowered their heads and talked in detail.

Wei Chou was stunned for a moment and then became unconvinced: "You guys really don't thank me! I've done so much, why don't you praise me!"

Liu Wei raised her eyelids and said calmly: "The Zhang family is the landowner of Qingfeng Town. If you cause such trouble, the Zhang family will not let it go. Just wait, they will probably come back before lunch is over. "

Wei Chou was fearless: "Come back as soon as you come back. If we want to leave, can anyone stop us?"

"I don't want to leave." Liu Wei said lightly.

Wei Chou was puzzled: "You won't leave? Why, haven't Liu Xiniang's affairs been investigated clearly? It's just a rumor among the people. There are no ghosts, so why don't you leave?"

"I want to hang out for a few more days, don't you?" Liu Wei said.

Wei Chou curled his lips with a look of disdain on his face: "What is there to do in this poor place? It's not as lively as Mingyue Town."

It turned out as Liu Wei expected. Before the meal was finished, the Zhang family sent someone again. This time it was not Zhang Yuan, but the new mayor of Qingfeng Town, Zhang Yuan's father.

Mayor Zhang is a well-known local squire. He has a wealthy family and is very popular. When he met Liu Wei and others, he did not ask any questions. Instead, he first apologized for Zhang Yuan's quarrel. After apologizing, the topic still turned to Zhang Cuicui. On the injury.

"Cui Cui is my eldest brother's daughter. She came to Qingfeng Town to celebrate my birthday. She is a guest. If a guest is injured in my home, I, the Zhang family, should be responsible to the end. Therefore, I would like to trouble you all and go to the ancestral hall with Zhang. trip."

Qingfeng Town is under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan and is under the jurisdiction of the capital. However, small matters in the town generally do not go to the capital's yamen. Some trivial conflicts are brought to the ancestral hall, where the mayor of the town, the old gentry family, makes the decision.

Wei Chou didn't want to go to any ancestral hall, and he was not from Qingfeng Town. Just as he was about to make a scene, Liu Wei stood up and asked, "Is Zhang Cuicui really the mayor's niece?"

Mayor Zhang said matter-of-factly: "Of course."

"Have you watched her grow up since you were a child?"

Mayor Zhang was stunned and subconsciously said: "My Zhang family separated early. My eldest brother's family went to settle in Beijing more than ten years ago. It was only last year that the two families got in touch again, and Cuicui often came to the town. Look at me, what’s wrong?”

Liu Wei frowned: "In other words, you met Zhang Cuicui when you were a child, but they only met again last year when you grew up. You are not sure whether this Cuicui is your biological niece, right?"

Mayor Zhang confused her: "What do you want to say, Master? Cuicui is my niece. This is absolutely true, and there is even a letter written by my eldest brother..."

"Handwritten letter, could it be that since last year, the mayor has only met Zhang Cuicui, but he has never met your brother and sister-in-law?"

Mayor Zhang paused: "Last year, Zhang competed for the position of mayor and was busy with the town's free time. The eldest brother in Beijing also had a prosperous business and had no time to spare. It is true that my brother and I have not met yet, but Cuicui has been traveling between the two places this year. , take the lead for us, the two families get along well..." "Mayor Zhang." Liu Wei interrupted him and her tone became serious. "I have never met my brother, how can you casually regard a strange woman as your niece? Aren't you afraid that this is inviting a wolf into the house, which will cause endless troubles?"
