Ten steps away from the door of the house, Xiaocao went through what he wanted to do in his mind a few times, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hands.

Zheng Qiulian was probing her brain at the door of her yard, and when she saw Xiaocao's figure, she hurriedly jumped to the door in a few steps, stretched her neck and looked behind Xiaocao.

"Mom. Xiaocao said hello to Zheng Qiulian in a daze.

"What about people?" Zheng Qiulian couldn't help but ask when she saw that there was no one behind Xiaocao who she wanted to see.

"Who?" Xiaocao deliberately pretended to be confused.

"Old secretary, Zhao Qingshan, didn't he say that he came to propose marriage to you today? Why didn't he see anyone?" Zheng Qiulian was anxious.

Zhao Qingshan didn't come, and her bride price asked who was going?

"No, no one is coming. Xiaocao pinched the pepper in the palm of her hand with her nails, covered her face, and tears flowed out of her fingers.

What kind of pepper is the root of the wall of the third aunt's house? My eyes are almost blind! Xiaocao screamed wildly in her heart. Taking advantage of Zheng Qiulian's inattention, Xiaocao hurriedly threw half of the chili pepper in his hand far away.

"Why don't you come?" Zheng Qiulian couldn't help but turn around in a hurry. Her bride price! The old secretary wouldn't have been frightened by her sky-high bride price? If he had known that she would have been less. Actually, 3,000 yuan, no, 2,000 yuan is fine.

"it, you let the grass speak first. Zhao Hongsheng heard the movement in the house, and hurriedly came out to see, and saw Xiaocao "crying", afraid of being seen as a joke, and hurriedly beckoned Zheng Qiulian's mother and daughter into the house.

"Yes, yes, let's go into the house and talk about it. Out of the corner of Zheng Qiulian's eyes, she had already seen someone next door probing her brain, and hurriedly pulled Xiaocao into her door.

Next door to Xiaocao's house is the eighth aunt, and the eighth aunt's daughter-in-law, Xiaohong, also likes to watch the excitement like the eighth aunt, and since this morning, she has often crossed her feet in her yard and looked at Xiaocao's house.

Zheng Qiulian didn't care about complaining about Xiaocao, and took Xiaocao's hand and entered the house.

I don't know what kind of pepper it is, but after a while, Xiaocao's eyelids are swollen like ripe peaches, and it looks miserable.

"Xiaocao, the grandson of the old secretary's family, that one is called Zhou ······ Zhou or something, doesn't he like you very much?Why didn't he send you back?" Zhao Hongsheng was more flexible than Zheng Qiulian's brain, and changed his way to talk from Xiaocao.

"Dad, you're mistaken. It's that I like Zhou Jiasheng, where is Zhou Jiasheng who likes me. I am a wild girl in the countryside, and I am not particularly good-looking, where is there anything worthy of people's liking? Dad, I spent a lot of thought this time, and Zhou Jiasheng, who was finally coaxed, agreed to marry me, but I didn't expect to be ······ by my mother." Zhao Xiaocao's eyes blinked, and tears flowed out of his eyes in strings.

Seeing Xiaocao "crying" so sadly, Zhao Hongsheng believed Xiaocao's nonsense.

No wonder since he received the news yesterday, Zhao Hongsheng always felt that this matter was a bit mysterious, it turned out that in his own heart, as he told his daughter, he felt that his daughter had no ability at all, and he was "fascinated" by Zhou Jiasheng.

"Huh, I ······ I ······ I thought it was because someone else didn't marry you, but I didn't expect it to be you······" Zheng Qiulian opened her mouth, but she still didn't say the ugly words "upside down".

"Alas~!Forget it! Mom, Zhou Jiasheng originally said that he would marry me, and promised that he would help take care of our family in the future, but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the village, I heard a lot of gossip, saying that you want thousands of dowry money. At this moment, Zhou Jiasheng is angry! No, he drove me back. After Zhao Xiaocao said a lot of dejected words, he paused and added: "Forget it, it seems that the matter of a sparrow becoming a phoenix is not so easy." I'd better be my village girl with peace of mind. ”

"How can it be calculated? Zhou Jiasheng has already agreed to marry you, how can it not be counted? No, I will go to the old secretary and say that even if their family is powerful, they can't play tricks, right?" Zheng Qiulian was so angry that she jumped three feet high, and wanted to rush out of the door to settle accounts with Zhao Qingshan.

"Can't go. This time, without Xiaocao saying anything, Zhao Hongsheng had already hugged Zheng Qiulian's waist.

Zheng Qiulian didn't dare to struggle, so she stopped with Zhao Hongsheng's strength.

"Child, his father, this is a good family business! Miss Zhou Jiasheng, who else can come up with so much money to marry our Xiaocao? Even if you don't want a penny of dowry, Zhao Yunxiang's son is rushing to marry a lot of girls, it's a blessing!" Zheng Qiulian felt a little surprised when she saw that Zhao Hongsheng didn't support her.

Last night, Zheng Qiulian and his wife were so excited that they didn't sleep for most of the night, and how to use this bride price in the future were all agreed, and now it's just like that, how can Zheng Qiulian be willing?

Zhao Hongsheng heard the meaning of Xiaocao's words, Zhou Jiasheng originally agreed, and he would pull Zhao Xiaocao's maiden family in the future. This time, it was because of Zheng Qiulian's lion opening his mouth that Zhou Jiasheng was unhappy. Zheng Qiulian is going to make trouble now, if Zhou Jiasheng is annoyed, he insists that he will not marry Xiaocao, what else can their family do? Can't they stuff Xiaocao into Zhao Yunxiang's house, right?

"You know it's a blessed nest, then you still ask people for so many bride prices?" Zhao Hongsheng was splashed with cold water from Xiaocao's basin, and his mind had already cleared up.

This family affair was originally their little grass that climbed the family Zhou Jiasheng.

If Zhao Xiaocao can successfully marry into the Zhou family, their family will have a good family that is looked up to. Who else dares to look down on them. Maybe the remaining two sons don't need to be searched, for the sake of Zhou Jiasheng's brother-in-law, they will ask the matchmaker to take the initiative to come to the door to say goodbye.

Zheng Qiulian's high-priced bride price frightened Zhou Jiasheng to retreat. Xiaocao can't marry Zhou Jiasheng, don't talk about the bride price, his family will definitely become a joke in the eyes of the villagers in the future. The spittle of the villagers is about to drown their family.

At that time, even if Xiaocao can get married, he will definitely not marry better than now. It seems that it is better to be generous now, and when Xiaocao marries into the Zhou family in the future, she will find a way to ask for money from her daughter to supplement her mother's family, which is the best way!

Zhao Hongsheng was afraid that Zheng Qiulian would cry, so he hurriedly pulled her into the room and muttered.

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Xiaocao's mouth.

Others don't know, isn't Xiaocao still unclear? In their family, Zheng Qiulian loves to calculate, but who knows that their family is the most calculating Zhao Hongsheng? It's just that Zhao Hongsheng has always been very well hidden in front of outsiders. In fact, Zhao Hongsheng has a lot of dissatisfaction with his younger brother's family not having to support the elderly.
