Chapter 25: Tying Up Hair, Tying Up Hair

But he dared not tell Cheng Songer that he was also the type of man she despised the most.

He was cunning and jealous, full of resentment, like a poisonous snake crawling out of a damp sewer, with rotten dampness clinging to his bones.

Unimaginable, this despicable, ugly and repulsive man, if discovered by Cheng Songer, how would she look at him with coldness and disgust?

Perhaps she would furrow her beautiful brows, show a disgusted expression, lift her noble foot and step on his face, crushing his heart like squashing a disgusting bug. . .

No. . . perhaps even a touch from him would make her feel disgusted, as if he had dirtied her clothes.

She would leave without looking back, never to appear in his world again.

Cheng Qingzhi thought in despair, his spirit on the verge of collapse.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Songer looked at his suddenly pale face, nervously asking, "Did your wound reopen?"

Cheng Qingzhi shook his head, but the intense throbbing in his chest made his lips tremble, unable to utter a word. He was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would uncontrollably tremble and beg for her mercy.

"I told you not to move around. You keep standing up and sitting down, the wound must have reopened." Cheng Songer firmly pressed him onto the bed, spreading the blanket tightly around him. "Don't move now, rest well. By tomorrow, the wound should have scabbed over."

Cheng Qingzhi nodded weakly, tears shimmering in his eyes.

The next day, Liu the landlord sent people to deliver the dowry.

A long line of dowry team, dressed in festive red clothes, carrying large and small packages, circled around Cheng's village and stopped at Lin Yuxiu's doorstep.

During the winter season when there was no farming, many people were idle at home. Liu's grand scene attracted many people from Cheng's village to come and watch the excitement.

Lin Yuxiu's mother and two sisters also rushed back from the county town.

The whole family looked at the almost mountain-like dowry and their faces were about to burst into smiles. They probably had never seen such a lavish scene before. A rough estimate showed that all these dowries weighed around thirty to forty taels.

What is the concept of thirty to forty taels?

The dowry for women in Chengjia Village is only a few coins.

The Lin family's mother and two daughters worked hard as helpers in the city for a year, without eating or drinking, and could only earn ten taels of silver.

Without saying anything else, marrying off Lin Yuxiu, the Lin family's two daughters found husbands effortlessly.

"Uncle Xu, Aunt Lin, you two are so lucky!"

"Exactly! Yuxiu has been handsome since he was young, I knew he would be a fortunate person."

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

The villagers from Chengjia Village who were watching were extremely envious, especially those with sons. They pulled their sons' hands and pointed at Lin Yuxiu, saying, "Look, learn from your brother Yuxiu. If you're going to marry, marry a wealthy person. In the future, the dowry will be enough for your sisters to find husbands. Don't be a burden, got it!"
