Wu Mei was satisfied, but Xiong Xiaofen was not very satisfied.

It's just that she was still worried about the grocery store, for fear that her second son wouldn't be able to do business or embezzle the money from selling things, so she didn't care about "educating" Wu Mei a few words, and hurriedly went back to the grocery store.

By the end of the night, Zheng Hongxing finally came back, looking tired.

Xiong Xiaofen hurriedly pulled him and asked, "What about selling land...... How's it going?"

"You be quiet!" Zheng Hongxing's face turned grim, and he scolded in a low voice, "You're afraid that outsiders won't know about this, right?!What happened two days ago, do you still want to do it again?!"

Xiong Xiaofen subconsciously shrunk her neck and muttered, "The house is full of my own family, how can there be outsiders?"

Seeing that Zheng Hongxing was still scolding, Xiong Xiaofen hurriedly said: "Aunt Han came to our house today, and she scolded so badly...... I'm not afraid, if Jianqing's matter is not resolved for a long time, if the person who collects the debt comes again and happens to bump into Aunt Han, then our family will be embarrassed!"

The old lady came to their house to scold?

Zheng Hongxing was not very surprised by this.

He passed on so many words, some true and some false, it's no wonder that the old lady is not angry!

Let her scold a few words to relieve her anger, but it's nothing.

However, what this stupid mother-in-law said also makes some sense, Jianqing's matter really has to be solved quickly!

Thinking of this, Zheng Hongxing's face suddenly became even more ugly: "The land has been sold." However, Aunt Han had a fuss two days ago, and the price of selling the land this time was less than we thought before. In addition, there are a lot of expenses in these two days...... In my opinion, it is better to settle Jianqing's marriage first, and let him marry his daughter-in-law and children quickly!"

plus the dowry of the future daughter-in-law, it should be enough!

Xiong Xiaofen was stunned: "...... Jianqing's marriage, isn't it in a hurry?"

Thinking of Zhou Suqiong's appearance of a cultural person, Xiong Xiaofen felt uncomfortable.

Even if her favorite youngest son wants to get married, there are many choices, and she doesn't necessarily have to marry that Zhou Suqiong!

"You didn't have to worry before, but now you don't have to worry?!" Zheng Hongxing scolded, "Don't you know how much trouble your baby has caused this time?!Even if you don't mention this incident, I think Zhou Suqiong is not bad, not to mention her high education, people still get a salary, and I am afraid that your hands are much more generous than you, an old woman who has been in charge for decades!

That's right, the reason why Zheng Hongxing is so anxious to sell the land this time is to raise money and repay Zheng Jianqing's debts!

Pay back the bet!

Zheng Jianqing's kid played poker with people every night, and also attracted many people from outside the village to play together. As a result, the people outside were not cheated by him, but he was cheated by people from outside the village, and he owed 5,000 yuan in gambling debts in one night!

That's 5,000 bucks!

The money that their family has worked so hard to save over the years is not so much!

In fact, most people in Xinmin Village will play cards and mahjong or something, but everyone is at most playing when the farm is slack, and the play is also very small, the stakes are a penny or two cents, and playing a dime is considered a big one.

Of course, there are small advantages to playing, that is, winning or losing is not big, everyone can lose a few cents and a few dollars at most, and it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

Zheng Jianqing owed 5,000 yuan in gambling debts in one night, and Zheng Hongxing knew as soon as he heard it that he must have been tricked.

It's useless to guess!

Zheng Jianqing himself was red-eyed at the time, and he also wrote an IOU by hand.

Now people are coming to the door with IOUs to ask for debts, do the Zheng family dare not pay it back?

It's okay if you don't pay it back, Zheng Jianqing was forced to jump into the reservoir to avoid the disaster before, that is the end!

Last time, Zheng Jianqing dodged it with a good fate. But at that time, it also alarmed many people in the village, and the Zheng family owed a lot of favors and complained a lot.

Zheng Hongxing said before that he had spent a lot of money recently, except that part of it was used to block the Qin family, and the other part was actually to send those who jumped into the reservoir to catch Zheng Jianqing.

If the Zheng family doesn't pay off this gambling debt for a long time, wait until next time, Zheng Jianqing can still have such good luck and hide from it?

The Zheng family wants to repay Zheng Jianqing's gambling debts, but they can't spread the word about it, and this time is also a lot of tossing.

Xiong Xiaofen knew that her man was holding back the fire in his heart, and she was also afraid that the man would be in a hurry, so the man would not care about his son's affairs, so he hurriedly said: "Then listen to you! I will go to Zhou's house with Su'e tomorrow and set the wedding date as soon as possible." Otherwise, you will go with us tomorrow, which also shows the importance that our family attaches to this marriage. ”

Su'e, full name Zhang Su'e. She is Zhou Suqiong's cousin, married to another head of the Zheng family in Xinmin Village, and she also introduced Zhou Suqiong and Zheng Jianqing to each other.

It's like a human saying!

Zheng Hongxing responded, and said: "Then you will go to Zhang Su'e tonight to discuss it, and see what kind of gifts are more appropriate when we go to Zhou's house tomorrow." ”

Xiong Xiaofen agreed, and the family got together for a dull dinner.

As for Zheng Jianqing, he was not at home for the past two days, and was sent by Xiong Xiaofen to her mother's house in Shexing Town to avoid the limelight.

When Xiong Xiaofen ate and went to Zhang Su'e's house, Wu Mei whispered to Zheng Jianxin, who was cleaning up the stove, while washing the dishes: "Mom went to talk about marriage to the old man, it is estimated that the old man will get married in a few days." ”

"Oh. ”

Wu Mei became angry when she heard this dull voice: "Why don't you go to your mother to inquire, see how the old man talks about this marriage?

"That's my parents' business, why should I ask?" Zheng Jianxin looked confused.

"Of course I have to ask!" Wu Mei said angrily, "The eldest brother is married to the daughter-in-law of the provincial capital, and the bride price should be high." And the sister-in-law's bride price is from the eldest brother himself, and we can't control it. But you are the second eldest in the family, the eldest is younger than you, and the daughter-in-law he is going to marry this time is also from the countryside, so the bride price can't be as high as ever, right? At least, at least it can't exceed that of my mother's family, right?!"

"That's definitely more than for your mother's house. Zheng Jianxin said seriously, "Mom has always liked the old man the most, and the old man is very good at talking...... The old man is getting married, and the bride price will definitely not be less. ”

Wu Mei: "......"

This nest of men is really angry!

"Won't you tell your mother and let your mother give less?!" Wu Mei gritted her teeth and whispered, "How can there be a small daughter-in-law who gives more than his own brother?!"

"I didn't dare to say it. Zheng Jianxin shook his head again and again, "Mom's temper, you don't know it." If I dare to say this to my mother, my mother will not scold me to death? Anyway, the bride price of the old daughter-in-law is paid by the parents, and they can give as much as they like!"
