Things went smoothly beyond Jiang Tao's expectations, he sincerely thanked Gao Meixia, and asked her how Zhang Yan was doing.

Zhang Mei couldn't help but complain: "Brother Jiang Tao, you don't know, Yan is miserable, he can't move when he lies on the bed, and his whole body hurts when he moves, how can there be such parents in the world!"

Gao Meixia has lived most of her life, and she has never seen anyone suffer such a crime for marriage, so she sighed: "Jiang Tao, since I have guaranteed this matchmaker for you, I have to be responsible to the end, not to mention anything else, just say that you are ten years older than Yanzi, Yanzi doesn't mind being willing to live with you, and now that you are doing this again, you have to be good to her in the future, and you can't bully her at all!"

Jiang Tao didn't ask anyone when he couldn't live his life, but this time, he was grateful and wanted to kneel down for Gao Meixia, he didn't thank him, he swallowed the words of thanks, and promised with red eyes: "Auntie, I will definitely be good to Yanzi, and it will not change at any time." ”

"That's good!" Gao Meixia nodded with satisfaction, and asked him when he would get engaged.

The sooner the better, of course!

The recent good day is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the third day of the Lunar New Year is over, and the time is too rushed, but there is no way, and I am afraid that things will change.

Jiang Tao went home to raise money, and his grandmother went to invite two matchmakers, one was Zhang Yan's aunt Gao Hongxia, and the other was Jiang Tao's aunt Shi Guiyun.

Gao Meixia was also busy here, and Grandma Zhang's family and Zhang Yan's family ran at both ends without touching the ground, and finally waited until Zhang Chuanqing and his family were relieved, she set the date while the iron was hot, and asked them how much dowry they wanted.

There is no need to ask about this, Zhang Chuanqing and Li Shuangfeng have already thought about it, they will get six thousand six for engagement and eight thousand eight for marriage, it is not easy for them to pull their daughter, and they have to ask for an auspicious number.

This is really ruthless, Gao Meixia was speechless, adding up to 15,400 yuan, selling her daughter!

People in the village go out to work, only five or six hundred a month, and can only earn about six thousand a year without eating or drinking, but who can really save money without eating or drinking, it would be good to earn a small half, and it would cost 20,000 yuan to build three bright brick houses in the village, and her sister-in-law's relatives bought a house in the county town for more than 50,000 yuan.

Gao Meixia, the matchmaker, blushed, she secretly made up her mind that she would never tell anyone about matchmaking again in her life, it was really not something ordinary people do, she dared to pack tickets, Zhang Chuanqing's family didn't say 15,000, and she didn't even have a deposit of 5,000 yuan!

The situation in Jiang Tao's family is obvious, where is he going to raise money! He is not particularly familiar with Yanzi, so he likes her capable, there may be more female babies who do it, and it is not Zhang Yan, Gao Meixia is really afraid that he will pick a son and not marry, what can he do with the remaining Yanzi!

She was angry and worried, and hurriedly ran to Jiangzhuang, telling Jiang Tao the truth with shame.

Jiang Tao didn't have a big reaction, and quickly said: "Okay, auntie, I agreed to this number, but tomorrow is the sixth day of the new year, and I don't have time to make money, can I change the day to the eighth day of the new year?"

"Okay!

Gao Meixia gritted her teeth, she didn't have to ask about this, why not, she could see through Zhang Chuanqing's family, as long as she gave money, not to mention that the sixth year of junior high school was changed to the eighth day of junior high school, and they could all do it if it was changed to eighty years of junior high school, it was really ugly to eat, and she was not afraid of retribution when she said her daughter-in-law in the future.

"That auntie, is Zhang Yan still at her grandmother's house? I want to go see her tomorrow. ”

"Here, you're going to get engaged soon, and it's okay to go and see it, but Jiang Tao, where are you going to get more than 15,000 dollars? Don't do stupid things! Tao baby, think about your grandmother, you can't do stupid things for her!"

"No!" Jiang Tao smiled, repeatedly promising that he would be fine, and then sent Gao Meixia away.

The next day is the sixth day of the new year.

Jiang Tao went out to Zhangjia Village early in the morning, carried chickens, fish, meat and wine, and said a basket of good things to the place, coaxing Grandma Zhang to temporarily put aside her prejudices and leave him for lunch, at ten o'clock she cleaned up and went to the stove house to cook, Grandpa Zhang sat in front of the stove to burn firewood, and left Zhang Yan to talk to Jiang Tao in the hall.

Zhang Yan was so angry that she was dizzy, and she was a little embarrassed when she saw Jiang Tao, she blamed her for having such a pair of parents, and Jiang Tao suffered with her, she wanted to say sorry to Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao's mind is not on the money, Zhang Yan's left and right cheeks are swollen purple, walking with a limp, Jiang Tao is sad to see, he sighs that he is so lucky, he can meet such a girl when he has nothing, and he is willing to share the joys and sorrows with him regardless of a qiē, this is really a great virtue in his last life.

"Swallow, do you still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, I'm used to it. ”

Zhang Yan's habit is actually to say that in her previous life, she didn't know how much she was beaten, and she looked miserable like this, in fact, as long as she didn't kill her, she could raise her back alive.

Zhang Tao misunderstood, and thought that Zhang Chuanqing often beat her like this, and comforted her: "I'll hurry up and get together the money when I go back, get it together as soon as possible, and marry you home as soon as possible." ”

He knew that Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang must be eavesdropping in the stove house, and he didn't dare to say it deeply, secretly thinking, when he got married, he would never let her suffer again, he couldn't help him in the past, only Zhang Yan would beat him in the future, and no one could beat Zhang Yan again.

Zhang Yan didn't know his mental activity, so she leaned over and asked him in a low voice, "Brother, or let's go together." ”

"That's not good!" Jiang Tao refused without thinking about it.

"Why?" Zhang Yan panicked, her face was a little bad, "Do you think I'm not filial? I'm just not filial, this money is still in the stinky ditch, and I don't want to spend it on them." ”

Jiang Tao shook his head and said: "Yanzi, I think you are good at everything, why do you dislike you, you dislike me almost, I just thought, no matter how I marry you openly, I am poor and old, marrying you is to take advantage of you, I can't let you suffer, you have to have what others have, I can't let you fall into the limelight." ”

"I don't care at all, whatever they have, whatever they say, I live my life behind closed doors, they don't care. ”

"But I care!" Jiang Tao's tone was a little stern, "Just think it's for me, we have to get married in a dignified manner." ”

"You are blind and exquisite, you love face!"

"Yes, yes, I love face, in fact, my face is not important, what matters is your face, the marriage is good, this is to make your face, this matter must listen to me!"

Zhang Yan didn't understand, but pretended to be unconvinced, "You are machismo, what do you call a must, this is bullying!"

Jiang Tao smiled: "I'm just machismo this time, you have the final say in everything in the future, okay?

"Then let's make a step forward, get married first, and let's go out to work together after the New Year, and get married again when we have money. ”

Jiang Tao went through the people he knew in his mind, and there were indeed a few engaged people who worked together, and this matter was not out of line, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"

Although she suffered a big loss and cheapened her family for nothing, Zhang Yan was very happy to be cared about for the first time, and she thought: It is right to decide to marry Zhang Tao, fortunately, it is time for her to come back, otherwise Jiang Tao will marry someone else, and she will have nothing to do.

Zhang Yan looked at Jiang Tao with a smile, and Jiang Tao also looked at her with a smile.

Grandma Zhang's house is a standard rural house, three houses, the east room is used as a storage room in the west, the middle is used as a hall house, and the outside is simply built a stove house, the house is at a right angle to the stove house, and a narrow aisle in the middle leads to the end, and a crooked corner is the toilet.

Grandma Zhang and Grandpa Zhang kept listening with their ears pricked up, but the two children's voices were quiet, muttering there and not knowing what to say, Grandma Zhang waited for a while and couldn't hear it, so she ran to the hall with onions and went out of the stove house, and saw the two children sitting in that pair of silly music, she wondered and asked Zhang Yan: "What's so funny?"

Zhang Yan continued to laugh, Grandma Zhang looked inexplicable, and went to the kitchen in a daze, everything that should be said was said, Jiang Tao was embarrassed to sit down, and ran to the kitchen with Grandma Zhang to help.

"How can I let you do it, you are a guest, just wait to eat!"

"Oh grandma, I'm a junior, what's the job, it's not as it should be, come and come to grandma and let me see how I cook." ”

Not to mention, Jiang Tao's cooking is better than Grandma Zhang's, and Grandma Zhang keeps boasting during the meal, Grandpa Zhang eats the most, and even drinks several more glasses of wine.

Jiang Tao came to the door for the first time, it was not good to stay for a long time, he got up to leave after eating, Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang came out to send it, and he was persuaded to go back.

Zhang Yan sent him out of the path, and when he saw that there was no one on the road, he took the opportunity to take out the prepared passbook from his arms: "Brother, you don't have any money in your hand, I have 2,000 yuan here, which I earned from my part-time job last year, you can use it first." "Hehe, Zhang Yan was a little proud, the next morning after she came back from other places, when she came to see her grandmother, she secretly wrapped the passbook and stuffed it under her grandmother's noodle jar, and she couldn't turn it out of her parents when she was tired.

Jiang Tao didn't want it, and resolutely refused to accept it.

Zhang Yan threatened him: "This matter is not good for my family, if it weren't for my parents' greed, you wouldn't have to be embarrassed, and one day, where are you going to get 6,600 yuan? If you don't take this money, then I don't care, I'll pack up my things and go to your house tomorrow, I don't have to do anything to get engaged or married, anyway, I don't want to give them money to spend." ”

Jiang Tao was really afraid that she would do what she said, and he was so scared that he didn't want to accept it, and he didn't want to accept it, the passbook was still new, and it was heavy in his pocket, he looked at Zhang Yan for a long time, and couldn't help but rub her hair.

"Swallow, you're too stupid. ”

"Why? I'm swollen into a pig's head now and it's ugly, so stupid?"

"It's not!"

Jiang Tao smiled and continued to walk forward, in a good mood, and his steps were much lighter.

What a fool, other girls are married, I wish I wanted more money with the man, she is good, she still wants too much, in turn give him money, don't give it secretly, it's not better to give it to him after a matchmaker, hehe, this stupid Yan, I don't know how to worry about herself at all, it can be seen that Yanzi does this means that he trusts him very much, and he can't live up to her trust.

Sending Jiang Tao away, Zhang Yan returned to Grandma Zhang's house, rubbed purple potion on herself, she inhaled in pain, and the thick clothes she wore in winter could bleed, and she really admired this pair of ruthless parents.

"Yan, don't be angry with your parents, they have no choice. "Grandma Zhang persuaded when she was free.

"Milk, why don't you say I'm angry! You inquire about whose family wants so much to marry a daughter? I'm not a Seven Fairies who went down to earth, it's worth him to sell for fifteen thousand? They didn't even think about how I would live in the future, oh, Jiang Tao has no money and must borrow, my parents have a better life with the money, what about me, I have to follow Jiang Tao to pay off the debt, and when I get to Jiangzhuang, how can they look at me!"

"That's not what you say, you listen to your grandmother tell you. ”

"Oh, my grandmother, let's not talk about this, I don't want to listen to it, I watched TV, I didn't finish watching the Spring Festival Gala, this will be replayed, don't bother me." Zhang Yan said that she would concentrate on watching TV, and she was stunned and didn't answer Grandma Zhang's words.

"Why are you like this, you bear child? ”
