Chapter 750: Bride Price
Wang Yinju forgot to cry when Zhou Jiaxing's sentence of compensation was made, and got up from the ground with a bone. At the signal of Gu Mancang, he came over and asked, "How do you Zhou family compensate people?" ”
"In-laws, you take Miao Miao away! Seeing that Zhou Chunping agreed, Wu Jinfeng hurriedly waved his hand to Wang Yinju and said.
"Huh?" the Gu family collectively petrified.
Take Zhou Miaomiao away? Is this what they think? Zhou Miaomiao will be a member of their family from now on, and she will marry whoever she wants, and she will receive as many dowries as she wants? For a while, the Gu family members had their own thoughts, and they all had small calculations in their hearts.
After a while, Gu Dashi came back to his senses first and asked Zhou Chunping: "Father-in-law, do you mean that Zhou Miaomiao will belong to our family in the future, and the bride price money for marriage will also belong to our family?"
"Yes. Zhou Chunping nodded, feeling more and more that Zhou Jiaxing's idea was wonderful. The Gu family has always talked about the half-aged Gu Dahua, and now they are compensated for a living big girl, they have nothing else to say, right?
Seeing Zhou Chunping nodded, the Gu family realized that this matter was true.
"Dad, I think this is not bad, Xiao Wu has a daughter-in-law, Miao Miao marries his cousin, and our family doesn't have to pay the bride price. Gu Dashi thought about it in his heart, and felt that it was not a loss.
"Dad, I don't think it's right. The town officials said that cousins can't get married. Gu Damai was glared at by her husband and quickly jumped out to object. Before liberation, it was not uncommon for cousins and sisters to get married in Sanhe Town, so there were several fools in Sanhe Town. After the liberation, the town government and government vigorously publicized the disadvantages of marriage between close relatives, and the marriage registration office in the town also clearly stipulated that close relatives within three generations could not marry.
Gu Damai's family lives in the town, and he usually has contacts with the cadres in the town. But Gu Damai said this not for Gu Dashi, but thinking that Zhou Miaomiao married Gu Dashi's third son, Gu Dashi earned it, and they didn't see a penny.
"Big brother, doesn't that kid like that girl in the town? is he willing to marry Miao Miao?" Gu Mai, under the hint of her husband, also wanted to stir up this matter. The reason for grain wheat is the same as that of grain barley, it is also for money. In this era, three hundred yuan is still a lot, and a family can get forty or fifty.
"It's not cost-effective, it's not cost-effective, unless you can collect a large amount of bride price. Gu Xiaoshan also shook his head and said. Gu Xiaoshan is the eldest of the Gu family, his children are still young, the eldest son is only six years old, and when Gu Xiaoshan's children get married, they will have to wait for more than ten years!
"Didn't a single man from Peachtree Village marry his mother-in-law a few days ago? I heard that the bride price money was 500 yuan!" Gu Xiaohe's eyes lit up, thinking of what the matchmaker who came to the house a few days ago said. There was a bachelor in Peachtree Village who wanted to marry a wife and promised a sky-high bride price of 500. You must know that in this era, it is already up to the sky for a rural girl to ask for a bride price of 150 yuan. The girl that Xiao Wu liked lived in the town, and she didn't really want to marry her daughter to the countryside, so she asked for a bride price of 300 yuan.
"Five hundred, that's a lot?"
"With these five hundred, the family can almost get a hundred. ”
The more the Gu family talked, the more excited they became, and everyone's eyes lit up.
To tell the truth, Zhou Chunping's family "gifted" Zhou Miaomiao to the Gu family, and the Gu family made a lot of money. Zhou Miaomiao is eighteen years old this year, although she is not a big beauty, but she is also a big girl, isn't it? She can collect a bride price of 500 yuan at a time, which is better than the Zhou family making trouble every year. And most importantly, Zhou Jiaxing looks very difficult to mess with. In the future, they will come to ask for money, and whether they can get it or not is still a matter of two words.
Zhou Miaomiao heard in the room that the words of these people outside decided her fate, and she couldn't help but be angry and afraid. She doesn't want to go to her grandmother's house, she doesn't want to be "sold" by her uncles for the bride price, and who knows if there is anything wrong with the young man who can afford a bride price of 500 yuan? Besides, her aunt Zhou Zhimei said a few days ago that she would find an in-law for Zhou Miaomiao in the county seat.
Nine times out of ten, the young man whose family is in the county seat has a job in the unit, and when the time comes, she asks her in-laws to help her and find a job in the county seat for her, so that she can live the life of her aunt?
Taking advantage of the fact that these people outside had not yet discussed, Zhou Miaomiao opened the door and rushed out, rushed to Gu Mancang and Wang Yinju's side, and said: "Grandparents and grandmothers, my aunt said people in the county seat for me, and when I get married, I will definitely be filial to you." In Yuyuan County, "talking about people" means finding a good mother-in-law's family.
"What? You dead girl, Zhimei said such an important thing for you, and you didn't discuss it with us? You white-eyed wolf, you eat and drink me every day, and you don't even discuss marriage matters with me, see if I don't kill you!" Wu Jinfeng heard that Zhou Miaomiao even hid such a big thing from her, she couldn't help but be so angry that she covered her eyes, raised her hand and slapped Zhou Miaomiao with a "snap".
"Grandma, my aunt told Zhou Miaomiao that she would not pass through you? Don't be this little girl blowing nonsense!" Zhou Jiaxing glanced at Zhou Miaomiao with slanted eyes, and saw that Zhou Miaomiao's face was full of emptiness, and he couldn't help but sarcastically.
"That's what Shimi wouldn't do. Wu Jinfeng was told this by Zhou Jiaxing, and the gloom on his face retreated.
In fact, Wu Jinfeng knows Zhou Zhimei's temperament, that is, a master who loves to take advantage, Zhou Miaomiao said that Zhou Zhimei wants to find her in-law's house for her, most of which is true. It's just that in this, Wu Jinfeng doesn't know how much benefit Zhou Zhimei will receive.
Otherwise, Wu Jinfeng wouldn't have been so angry just now. Wu Jinfeng was angry that Zhou Zhimei's hand was stretched too long, and he wanted to receive benefits from Zhou Miaomiao without her consent. You must know that after Zhou Zhiqiang went crazy, Zhou Zhiqiang's family of three was raised by Zhou Chunping. Zhou Zhiqiang's family has nothing, only Zhou Miaomiao can recover a little bride price.
Gu Mancang's expression was originally a little loose, in this era, being able to marry to the county seat means that Zhou Miaomiao's future life will definitely not be bad. When Zhou Jiaxing said this, Gu Mancang's face was pulled down. In Gu Mancang's view, Zhou Miaomiao lied in front of them, which means that Zhou Miaomiao is unwilling to think about their Gu family. Now that Zhou Miaomiao is not married, she doesn't take these grandmother's people in her eyes, and she thinks she will be filial in the future, isn't it too naïve?
It's better to ······ Just like Zhou Chunping said, if you bring Zhou Miaomiao back, it is not bad to receive a bride price of a few hundred yuan.
Gu Mancang made up his mind and said to Zhou Chunping: "In-laws, what you said yourself, Miao Miao will be under the management of our Gu family in the future, and our two families will write off the big flower matter in the future." ”
