Chapter 704: The dowry is not enough
There are a lot of wild vegetables on the hillside fields, Chu Ning knows several kinds, what endive, dandelion, gray cabbage, but it is not called so here, the group has gained a lot, Chu Ning thought that the Jing family has been building a house recently, and Uncle Jing's action is inconvenient, there must be no time to dig wild vegetables, they can't eat it after digging so much, and if it is dried, it will not be fresh, so just take some for the Jing family to try.
On the way back, Chu Ning, Meizi and Le Qiu went straight to Jing's house.
The gate of the Jing family was open, which made Chu Ning very strange, and he entered the door hand in hand with Meizi, but found that several members of the Jing family were sitting or standing in the courtyard, the atmosphere was very dull, and the cigarette pouch that the uncle of the Jing family had not used for a long time was also in his mouth.
Something is wrong!" Chu Ning thought secretly.
Seeing that it was Chu Ning coming, the aunt of the Jing family hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Ning'er is here! Sit down!" said and pointed to a low stool beside her, and said to Jing Xiaoyue: "Go and pour a bowl of water for your sister and Meizi, and see how they are sweating." ”
Jing Xiaoyue didn't say much, turned around and went back to the house.
This is even more abnormal, if it is usual, Jing Xiaoyue will definitely express her dissatisfaction, but this time there is no rebuttal.
"Godmother, what's going on?" Chu Ning sat still, looked at the Jing family and asked with concern.
"It's not a big deal! It's okay!" the aunt of the Jing family replied very reluctantly.
"Uncle Jing's arm is not recovering well?!" Meizi also asked in a low voice.
Uncle Jing woke up like a dream, knocked the cigarette pot on the ground and said, "No, it's good, you can move." As he spoke, he raised his still hanging arm.
"Then why are you all sad! I'm still thinking that my godmother doesn't welcome me!" Chu Ning smiled and joked, hoping that the atmosphere would ease up.
But several people only grinned symbolically, Jing Xiaoyue took out two bowls of water and handed them to Chu Ning and Meizi, and said angrily: "Why can't you tell Ning'er!
"Just you talk a lot!" the aunt of the Jing family said with a cold face.
"What's wrong with Brother Zhuzi's family? The Zhao family repented? Godmother, I'm not an outsider, just tell me, otherwise wouldn't it make me anxious!" Chu Ning hurriedly asked, thinking that he couldn't do it!
The aunt of the Jing family sighed, which explained the reason.
It turned out that someone from the Zhao family came early in the morning, it was Zhao Zhu'er's brother, and said that he would let the Jing family give another 80 taels of dowry, otherwise her sister would not marry, and the Jing family and the others were dumbfounded at that time, what is the situation! At the beginning, they gave a dowry of 20 taels of silver, and for a small family like them, the dowry of 20 taels was considered the best! This suddenly has to add 80 taels, which is 80 taels! This is really a lion's big mouth!
It turned out that Jing Zhanhong went to their house yesterday to propose marriage, this Jing Zhanhong married his wife, but his wife has been married for three years, so Jing Zhanhong wants to marry a concubine to continue the incense, saying that he fell in love with Zhao Zhuer.
Looking at the dowry of one hundred taels on the table, Zhao's father's heart twitched, this is one hundred taels! With this one hundred taels, he will be able to work for the rest of his life!
But he couldn't accept it, if her daughter hadn't decided yet, then he would definitely send her over without even thinking about it, but Zhao Zhu'er had already decided on someone! He wanted to beat Jing Dazhu back so that he could get the hundred and zero silver, but no matter how greedy he was, he knew that if this was the case, their family would want to gain a foothold in Baying County in the future, so he had to grit his teeth and refuse.
