139 As expected of you

After watching a big show, Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Erlang to give some copper coins to the beggars and ask them to spread the news of what happened at the Wu Family's house entrance to the entire county town.

The climax of this story was that the Wu family wanted to force Fourth Son Shi to marry their illegitimate daughter at a hefty price.

They wanted the Shi family to provide 1000 taels of silver as their betrothal gift. 

If they didn't have the money, they had to sell their land and house and let them be the new owner of these assets.

The Shi family did not agree and did not want to propose marriage.

However, the Wu family was unwilling and forced them.

In the end, the Wu family betrothed their daughter with 20 taels of silver.

As for the Wu family agreeing to give 1000 taels of silver for dowry, it was omitted in the rumours.

After Xiao Erlang completed his task, all of them returned to the village in a horse carriage.
