Chapter 113: Marrying a Daughter-in-law
Zhou Xiaoliu and Zhou Peng were talking around the two sisters, and Zhou Qinghu was full of alcohol and staggered past them.
Zhou Xiaoliu looked at Zhou Qinghu and said "Huh".
Zhou Peng asked sensitively, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xiaoliu wanted to take a closer look, but Zhou Qinghu had already stepped into the door, and she said uncertainly: "No, probably I read it wrong." ”
Seeing that Zhou Qinghu was gone, Zhou's father breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, he looked at Zhou's mother's hand, and hurriedly shouted: "Put down the broken glass first, be careful to cut your hand!"
Zhou's mother threw away the things in her hand and asked, "How much money did he ask you for?"
Dad Zhou's slightly stretched brows tightened together, and said, "He said that there was finally a girl willing to marry him, but the other party asked for a bride price of 20,000 yuan." ”
"Didn't you just give your dad 30,000 yuan? Let him ask your dad for it?"
Dad Zhou sighed: "It's Dad who asked him to come to me for ......"
Zhou Qinghu has not been at home for the past few days and has gone to his uncle's house. His uncle said he would take him to see a girl from the mountains.
Originally, he only needed to go for a day, but Zhou Qinghu went for several days, and he didn't come back from his uncle's house until he had lunch at noon today.
As soon as he got home, he saw Zhou's father sitting at the door looking at the intersection in a daze. He glanced at Dad Zhou in some surprise, and then entered his house without even saying hello.
When Grandpa Zhou saw his youngest son returning, he hurriedly pulled him and asked, "How is it?
"It's done!" Zhou Qinghu said proudly.
Grandpa Zhou was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Since the girl of the Yang family is willing to marry you, you will have to treat others well in the future." By the way, did she ask for anything else?"
Zhou Qinghu waved his hand and said, "What I want to marry is not a girl from the Yang family, but a girl from the Zhu family!"
Grandpa Zhou was stunned, the brother-in-law clearly said that he was going to see a girl surnamed Yang, how did he become surnamed Zhu?
Zhou Qinghu explained: "The place where the Yang family is located is remote! I followed my uncle over a mountain ridge and walked for more than ten minutes on the mountain road before I saw a few dilapidated houses in the mountain col......
There are a total of ten families in Yangjiaao, and the remaining nine families have abandoned their old houses and moved to places with more convenient transportation outside the mountain, leaving only the Yang family of three still living there.
The girl of the Yang family reached the marriageable age, but because she was worried that her elderly parents lived alone in the mountains, she did not get married for a long time.
It's not that she doesn't want to marry, it's just that she asks that if anyone wants to marry her, they must take her parents over to support her.
As soon as this sentence came out, a man who couldn't marry a daughter-in-law would not dare to enter her door.
Father Yang and Mother Yang clarified everywhere that the second elder would never drag down his daughter and future son-in-law, and asked people to be matchmakers everywhere, which was why Zhou Qinghu's uncle took him to the door to see each other.
The girl of the Yang family is good-looking, much more beautiful than the girl of the Zhao family with a pockmarked face.
Zhou Qinghu only glanced at her and was extremely satisfied. But when he talked to the girl of the Yang family alone, the girl of the Yang family mentioned the sentence that she wanted to marry her parents, and his face changed.
He thought that if he wanted to take his daughter-in-law to gnaw on the old together, it would definitely be no problem, but if he brought his father-in-law and mother-in-law together, then his father's old bones would definitely not be enough to gnaw.
Zhou Qinghu left the Yang family with his uncle with regret.
Before leaving Yangjiaao, he couldn't help but glance back again. What a pity! How beautiful this Yang girl is!
When he turned around, he found that there was a more beautiful girl standing at the door of the first broken house at the entrance of Yangjiaao Village, and the girl was smiling sweetly at him.
Zhou Qinghu only felt that his heart skipped a beat, and then beat violently.
This feeling... This feeling is the same as the feeling he felt when he leaned on someone's window for the first time and peeked at someone's daughter-in-law taking a shower!
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, then opened her mouth and said to him, "Come to me at night, I'll wait for you!"
The girl was clearly standing a dozen paces away from him, but he felt that she was whispering in his ear at the moment.
He only felt an itch in his left ear, and then his ears instantly turned red, as if the blood was flowing backwards and all the blood was converging on both ears.
He nodded sweetly and replied in a loud voice, "I will definitely come in the evening!"
His uncle, who was walking beside him, was startled by his voice, but he didn't hear what Zhou Qinghu said, he asked, "What's the night?"
Zhou Qinghu didn't answer his words, he just kept smirking at himself.
In the evening, Zhou Qinghu went to Yangjiaao alone in the dark. The girl was waiting for him with the lights on.
The girl welcomed him in the door, and without saying a word lay down on a bed with him.
Zhou Qinghu finally became a man.
For three nights in a row, Zhou Qinghu shared the bed with the girl in Yangjiaao.
On the fourth day, the girl made a request: "Our Zhu family, I am the only one left, if you are really good to me, marry me home!"
Zhou Qinghu asked, "Don't you have any other requirements?"
Miss Zhu replied, "If you are willing to marry me back, I will be satisfied, how can I ask for anything else?"
When Zhou Qinghu heard this, his heart blossomed. He has seen so many girls over the years, but who doesn't ask for it? Either ask him for a house, or ask him for a bride price, and the girl of the Yang family also asks him to support her parents!
The stupid girl in front of him didn't ask him for anything, she wanted to marry him, such a big pie fell from the sky, he was not a big fool, how could there be a reason not to stretch out his hand to continue!
So he hurried home, ready to inform his parents to arrange a few tables for him.
Holding a banquet was his idea, and the girl of the Zhu family didn't mention it at all. It was he himself who wanted to announce to the people of these ten miles and eight villages that he, a bachelor who couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, was finally going to marry a daughter-in-law!
As soon as he came back, he heard his father say that his eldest brother had made a fortune!
His father said that his eldest brother picked up 200,000 for nothing!
His father also said that he would let him put the matter of marrying Miss Zhu for another two days, and first use the excuse that the girl wanted a bride price to ask his eldest brother for tens of thousands of yuan!
Zhou Qinghu naturally nodded, who can't get along with, and can't get along with money! Not to mention thirty or fifty thousand, even if he can ask for one or two hundred thousand, then he will still make money.
Zhou Qinghu and Grandpa Zhou finished muttering, and went straight to Zhou's father's room.
Zhou's father was eating, and when he saw his fourth brother coming in, he called his daughter to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
"Fourth brother hasn't eaten yet, right? Zhou's father said.
Zhou Qinghu sat down unceremoniously, and shouted at the same time: "Why don't you have any wine?" Also, let Xiao Xian go buy some peanuts again!"
Seeing Dad Zhou nodding, Zhou Xiaoxian had no choice but to roll his eyes and comply.
Zhou Qinghu asked for 40,000 yuan when he opened his mouth.
Dad Zhou decisively refused. 40,000 yuan? All the money in his hand adds up to just this amount! The fourth brother didn't say anything about borrowing words, he opened his mouth to ask for him, how could he be willing to give it?
Zhou Qinghu sat all afternoon, drinking and grinding Zhou's father to give money, and it was not until the moment before Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiaoliu came back from the county seat that he lowered 40,000 to 20,000.
……
Zhou's mother looked at the worried Zhou's father, and said with hatred: "What are you polite to such a person?
Dad Zhou said softly: "He is my younger brother, how can I bear to see that he can't marry a daughter-in-law?"
Zhou's mother snorted and said, "Is this his daughter-in-law or you marrying a daughter-in-law? Why do you have to build a house for him and give the woman a bride price for him?"
Dad Zhou hurriedly tried to cover her mouth and said, "You can't talk nonsense!"
Seeing Zhou's mother's glare, he put down his hand stupidly and muttered, "I haven't given it yet!"
