Chapter 57: Asking for a Dowry (4th Update, 40+)
() Fang Xiu saw that Luo Zhiming dared to yell at her, she grabbed Luo Zhiming, "Can I compare with your sister, I haven't had such a shameless thing." ”
"Besides, it's just me, isn't your mother still squeezing me, didn't you say it last time, if you didn't think that your eldest brother's leg couldn't be healed, our two sisters wouldn't want to marry into your Luo family, why do you have to marry a daughter-in-law in the city."
"Okay, okay, just say something casually, what are you doing so much." Luo Zhiming knew that his wife was also mean when she spoke, so he had no choice but to coax Fang Xiu in a low voice,
"Auntie, I call you aunt, I can tell you, when you go back, don't talk nonsense, if you can't keep your mouth shut, don't come out in your house in the afternoon, lest you say something wrong, and then my mother will be unhappy."
Fang Xiu was satisfied, let go of Luo Zhiming, and muttered in a low voice, "I know that your mother is not happy, and I am not happy." ”
A few people were talking, and they arrived at Luo's house in a few minutes.
Zhou Yunmei had already heard Luo Cuilan say that Luo Zhiming and Fang Xiu had gone back to their parents' house in the morning, and she also guessed that Fang Pingying would call them back.
Fang Pingying didn't speak, and went directly into the stove house to help Luo Honglan cook lunch together.
In the courtyard, Zhou Yunmei looked at Fang Xiu and the others, her already not good-looking face darkened a little, she looked at Luo Zhiming and asked, "What's the matter, I went to my mother-in-law's house again, what are you doing to help my mother-in-law today?" ”
Luo Zhiming knew that this kind of thing happened at home, his mother must be in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he grinned at Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, look at what you said, what is there to do at this time, Xiu'er and I are playing outside." ”
Zhou Yunmei was really not in the mood to talk about him, glanced at him, and ordered casually, "It's okay to go out and play, in case there is something at home, people have to look for you everywhere." ”
Luo Zhiming nodded, and then asked out loud. "Mom, something happened again this time, what are you going to do now?"
Hearing Luo Zhiming mention it, Zhou Yunwei gritted his teeth with hatred again. "What can I do, I want her to die, once she comes back to this shameless thing, I won't have a face to see anyone in our Luojia Village in the future."
"Why don't you have the face to see people, we still need others to take care of our own affairs. Anyway, it's all up to this, let the Zhang family take the bride price out, let's go buy a dowry or something immediately, and choose a good day to tie the knot. ”
Luo Zhiming didn't think there was anything great about this matter, anyway, the era is different now, and there are also men and women who are engaged to do this kind of thing to ask back, and he persuaded Zhou Yunmei disapprovingly.
Luo Zhiyong, who was sitting in the courtyard, was also very upset, his sister-in-law had this kind of thing, he always felt that he also had some responsibility, and he was not at home all year round. I don't have much time to take care of the house.
He sighed and persuaded Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, I said the same thing, so far, there is nothing to do with scolding, the only way is to let them get married." ”
Zhou Yunmei nodded, there is really no other way to think about it now, and it is a hundred times since the marriage is married, she is really too lazy to worry about them anymore.
"Cuilan. You come here. Zhou Yunmei shouted out Luo Cuilan in the house.
When Luo Cuilan came out of the house, her eyes were red, and she didn't feel good.
In the end, it was her own daughter, Zhou Yunmei saw her like this. didn't scold again, just told her, "Later, I will go to the village to ask the feng shui people in the village, and find a date for you to get married this month. I'll tell them when his parents come. ”
At the mention of the bride price, Luo Cuilan's face began to be embarrassed, "Mom, you don't know what the country is like, although his mother is good to him, but in the end, she is a stepmother, how much money can be taken out to make a bride price." ”
Zhou Yunmei began to bear it anymore, and her voice began to rise, "Then what are you going to do, just marry with a burden, and don't even have a dowry?" ”
"Isn't it my mother's business to do a dowry, didn't my eldest brother and sister-in-law say that they want to prepare a dowry for me and Honglan?" Luo Cuilan said, and glanced at Luo Zhiyong.
Luo Zhiyong's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't understand what Luo Cuilan meant by this.
He and Fang Pingying were married for less than two months, and in the month of their marriage, he happened to be at home, and the money was handed over to Zhou Yunmei, and he only kept five yuan on himself, and the month was not yet the end of the month, and the salary had not been sent.
Luo Cuilan thought that he could find the money to buy her a dowry, and when he said that he would give her a dowry, he also said that he would save some money during the Chinese New Year, and then let Zhou Yunmei make up some together, but this time it seems that there are still two or three months before the New Year.
Without waiting for Luo Zhiyong to ask, Zhou Yunmei began to yell at Luo Cuilan unbearably, "Are you fascinated by the founding of the country, this person is not married yet, so he is thinking about helping Jianguo speak, and you still want their male family to pay a penny of dowry, and our mother's family will buy all the dowry for you?" ”
After a slight pause, Zhou Yunmei continued, "According to the rules of our village, how much money is the bride price for the male family, and how much dowry is for the female family, I don't care about your eldest brother, anyway, I don't have much dowry for you." ”
As soon as Zhou Yunmei's words fell, Fang Xiu also continued, "Yes, second sister, this matter is such a rule, I have only heard that if it is good to marry a daughter, my mother's family can earn a lot of money, but I have never heard that my daughter's mother's family has to post money, and the dowry I married was also bought with the bride price money given here." ”
What Fang Xiu said was indeed the truth, and Luo Cuilan was not easy to refute.
She thought about it, then turned to Luo Zhiyong and asked, "Big brother, do you say the same too?" ”
Luo Zhiyong looked at Luo Cuilan at first and didn't speak, and then asked her with a light expression, "Cuilan, then how much dowry do you think we have to buy for you?"
"Don't you want to buy me the dowry?" Luo Cuilan's words were taken for granted, "I don't want too much, just like Fang Xiu's dowry, there are four major pieces, and a few new sets of clothes can be earned." ”
When Luo Cuilan finished saying this, Luo Zhiyong's face sank, and the expression on his face also carried a hint of forbearance, and his heart was slightly cold.
He instantly felt that his family was not just saying that they would not be considerate of others, but that they were completely selfish people who only thought about themselves and never thought about others.
Zhou Yunmei is like this, and Luo Cuilan is also like this.
Although Zhou Yunmei didn't open her mouth to help Luo Cuilan and said that she wanted him to pay the dowry, but what she said just now, I don't care about your eldest brother's side, actually shows that she also agrees with Luo Cuilan asking Luo Zhiyong for a dowry.
The more he thought about it, the more Luo Zhiyong felt cold, it turned out that he really didn't have the slightest willingness to work hard for his family over the years.
He sighed slowly, looked at Luo Cuilan lightly and said, "Your eldest brother and I are just an ordinary person, I get so much money in the army for a month, except for eating and drinking with you, I have no other ability, and I can't afford the dowry you want." ”
After a slight pause, he stood up and made a direct decision, "According to what my mother said, you will buy as much dowry as you want to build the country, otherwise, you will choose whether to marry or not." (To be continued.) )
