In the evening, Lin Guiyun's family and sister-in-law Zhang finished dinner early. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info aunt Lin Guiyun took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, so she hurriedly went to Tian's house. The village is not very big, and Lin Guiyun walked through a few alleys to the small courtyard of the Tian family. The courtyard door was not closed, and Lin Guiyun shouted after entering the gate:

"Sister-in-law of the Tian family? Is the Tian family's sister-in-law at home? ”

"Where are you? Who's coming? A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside the room. As she spoke, Lin Guiyun had already walked to the front of the hall.

"It's me, Ma's family." Lin Guiyun was also unceremonious, and when she entered the house, she saw the three of the Tian family sitting at the table eating dinner. A bowl of stir-fried garlic sprouts, a big bowl of green vegetable soup, the soup is not even visible dripping oil stars. Rice, of course, is multigrain rice.

"Sister-in-law, I came to your house to discuss something with you." Lin Guiyun lowered her voice.

"What's the matter?" Tian asked as he began.

"Sister-in-law, you used to let out the wind and say that your second son recruited a son-in-law for others. Does that still count? ”

"Hey." Tian first sighed and then said, "What if you don't let the little second son be a son-in-law for others? It's not that the two brothers don't have wives. How? What's your news? ”

"Sister-in-law Tian, that's it. My eldest brother only gave birth to two girls, and he never gave birth to a boy. I don't want to cut off the incense, I want to recruit a son-in-law for the eldest girl to go back. Lin Guiyun didn't beat around the bush and said it directly.

"Sister of the Ma family, you should know what my family gave the second child to someone else's family for. is to ask for some dowry gifts for his eldest brother to marry. Tian's words are also very straightforward, this little son is about to be sold, and he can not negotiate a good price.

"I don't know how much dowry your family wants?"

"Fifty taels." Tian's is called a lion's big mouth.

"Fifty taels, I'll go back and ask my sister-in-law." Lin Guiyun said in her heart, no wonder no one has recruited her son as a son-in-law until now. Fifty taels is too dark.

"Okay, go back and ask." Tian didn't care, he used to ask a lot. Fifty taels is not something that anyone can take.

The two sons of the Tian family were stunned and didn't speak. Only then did Tian Youquan know why the middle-aged woman in the field kept staring at him during the day. On the one hand, he is unwilling to be a son-in-law for other people's families, and on the other hand, it is too difficult for his family. If you don't listen to your mother, what can you change? Forget it, let's repay the family's nurturing grace.

When Lin Guiyun heard this, she didn't stay long and went back to her home. While walking, I still muttered in my heart, this woman's heart is too dark, fifty taels? There are a few families in the countryside who can come up with fifty taels. I'd better go back and discuss it with my sister-in-law. When he entered the house, Zhang was sitting in the hall and looking out of the door. Seeing the eldest sister-in-law enter the courtyard gate, she quickly stood up:

"How? What does his family say? ”

"Hey, sister-in-law, his family agreed. It's just that the dowry is too much. Lin Guiyun said a little embarrassed.

"How much?" The Zhang family is still psychologically prepared, and he is willing to give his son to be a son-in-law, the family situation is definitely not good, and the dowry will not be less.

Lin Guiyun stretched out a slap and came out, "Fifty taels!" Sister-in-law, let's go to other villages to inquire. ”

"What?" Zhang was stunned when she heard fifty taels, but in fact, she thought in her heart that twenty or thirty taels would be enough.

"I've been looking for it for several years, and Su Juan is seventeen this year. It can withstand a few years of delay. It's only thirty taels at most, and I don't have any more. "The hatred in Zhang's heart, if he can give birth to a son, where will there be these things.

Lin Guiyun didn't answer this, she thought about it carefully before saying, "Sister-in-law, let's do it, I'll ask someone who has a better relationship with her to make peace." I want to think about who is suitable, her parents-in-law are long gone, and now there is an aunt in the village. I'll go to her aunt's house. After Lin Guiyun said this, she immediately went out and walked out.

The husband of this Tian aunt is a brother with Tian Youquan's grandfather, and the old man is no longer here, only this Tian aunt is left to live with her son. In the past, after Tian Youquan's father died, Aunt Tian's mother's family also helped a lot, and it is estimated that Tian can still listen to what she said.

"Aunt Tian, Aunt Tian, have you slept?" Lin Guiyun couldn't control it too much, so she shouted when she stood outside the door of the courtyard.

"Who, my mother-in-law hasn't slept yet, you wait a minute, I'll open the door." Hearing this, it was her daughter-in-law.

After Lin Guiyun entered the door, she said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I came to your house so late to ask your mother-in-law for help." ”

"Look at you, it's polite, it's said in a village. Let's go, go to my mother-in-law's house and talk. "The daughter-in-law of the Tian family is not much younger than Lin Guiyun, and her speech is also refreshing.

After Lin Guiyun entered the house, she saw Mrs. Tian sitting on the bed. It's going to see you're coming, and it's also a freshly lit oil lamp. She explained her intention in a few words, and finally said: "Auntie, my sister-in-law's family has a lot of dowry of thirty taels." Fifty taels is not something that only the landlord's family can come up with. But is it true that the family who can afford fifty taels of silver must have no son? Want to recruit a son-in-law back? Even if people don't have sons and only girls, they are so old, they have to recruit sons-in-law. But people also have to pick talents. Can you afford this young man who can only farm in the countryside? Auntie, you can help me persuade Youquan to, this is also for her good. She really wants to bite fifty taels to death and won't let go, and we can't do anything about it. In the end, even if I can't recruit a son-in-law, my eldest brother can still have a nephew. ”

"Hey, there's really too much of a dowry for all the wants. It's not a problem to delay any longer, well, I'll go to her house tomorrow morning. Whether it succeeds or not, I will send you a letter when the time comes. Mrs. Tian said in her heart, thirty taels of silver is a lot, where can I find another one more than this. With the silver, it is good to marry her eldest son and daughter-in-law, and if she has a few more children in the future, it will be like a home.

When Lin Guiyun went home and told Zhang, she had to wait for the next day's news. Now they all went to sleep. When he woke up the next day, Zhang had been waiting for news from others. She never felt that time was so difficult, and finally at noon, the daughter-in-law of the Tian family came to deliver the news.

"You are the sister-in-law of the Lin family, hehe, I am his aunt. My sister-in-law agreed, but she was in a hurry to marry her eldest son. I want to get things done quickly. ”

"Well, both kids are seventeen. Hurry up, wait until I go back and talk to the child's father. Set a date for the two to sit down and talk. In this way, the day after tomorrow will be here, and your family will also invite the elders to do what should be done in advance, and they will all be witnessed. Zhang also wanted to give this matter to him quickly.

After the matter is negotiated, where does the Zhang family still have the heart to stay at the eldest sister-in-law's house. Lin Guiyun also knew that the Zhang family was in a hurry, so she called her son to send her sister-in-law back together. After the mother and son sent the Zhang family to Zhoudong Village, they didn't go ashore, so they hurried back, and the boat rowed almost before dark to get home. When Zhang returned home, he naturally told his two daughters about it. After Lin Sujuan knew that things had come to an eyebrow, the stone in her heart was also put down. Zhang's has put a lot of effort into her marriage in recent years, and she has seen it all. Only after the two families have negotiated the day after tomorrow can the matter be settled, and then can they really put their minds at ease.

The next day, Zhang told the news to all the families. I hope that when the time comes, everyone can go to someone and help with the palms. There is also a need to set up a paperwork, which Zhang inquired about a few years ago. So be sure to invite Mr. Lin over, and he will write this. After Lin Guilu learned the news, he agreed to take a trip. In the morning, when he had done everything, he could row the boat and set off together.

On the third day, because he had to go out to run errands, Lin Guilu got up earlier than usual. Qi even prepared breakfast for him early and prepared some more dry food. Lin Guilu sent the swill to the countryside and called the eldest brother and his wife. I called Old Man Lin up again, but fortunately, there was still an old quilt in the cabin, so that the old man could lie down for a while. The third Lin Guixi didn't go together if he had work to do, anyway, this is not the time to get married. The two Lin Guifu brothers and the Zhang family alternated rowing boats along the way, and they all wanted to get to Lin Guiyun and their village as soon as possible. I know that I might have to pull the skin for a while. It's better to get things done quickly and rush home the same day. If I stayed another night, I would have delayed the next day.

By the time the group rowed the boat to their destination, the sun had only gone southeast. After entering Lin Guiyun's house, Lin Guiyun arranged for her father and brother to rest for a while at her house. Yesterday, the Tian family told her that there was still a famous old man in the village. All she needs to do now is go to Tian's house and let her know.

It didn't take long for the Lin family to arrive at Tian's house, and the people invited by his family arrived. Both sides politely talked about business. It was decided, the dowry was thirty taels, Tian Youquan was the son-in-law of the Lin family, and the surname of the Lin family was changed. Mr. Lin wrote the letter of recruitment, asked everyone on the other side to read it, and asked everyone to sign or press their handprints.

Before Old Man Lin wrote the paperwork, Zhang pulled Tian Youquan aside and asked in a low voice, "Youquan, are you willing in your heart?" If you're really reluctant, my family won't be reluctant. ”

"Auntie, I-I do. I was willing. Tian Youquan's voice was very low, but he finally said it.

"Don't worry, kid, our family is fine. My Sujuan is also okay, so you can put your heart in your stomach. Zhang was very satisfied with this, and also gave Tian Youquan a reassurance.
