Chapter 217: The brother-in-law enters the door
This original owner is also really, keeping half of the memory and taking half of it away.
I didn't know the situation of the cheap lady and her mother's side at all, and I didn't dare to ask Li Yanpin rashly, for fear of being exposed, I wanted to ask when I asked Dong Fangyuan to pretend to be Li Yanpin's distant relative last time, but I didn't open my mouth.
No wonder it looks a little similar to Li Yanpin's eyebrows, it turns out to be his own uncle!
The cheap uncle seemed to love himself very much, and looked at him with a smile on his face, and his face was full of excitement.
It is estimated that if she didn't know that she was a big girl and got married again, she would have hugged herself a few times.
The corners of Gu Mingzhu's mouth gradually curled, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she happily shouted "uncle".
Li Kui grinned when he heard this, put down the water glass, rubbed his hands, and seemed to want to hug Gu Mingzhu, but thinking that something was wrong, he retracted his hand and looked at Gu Mingzhu with a smile.
Gu Mingzhu rolled her eyes, and really wanted to hug herself and play in circles!
Li Kui looked at his niece who looked more and more sleek, and liked it very much.
Thinking of the package he brought, he walked over and opened it, took out a few pieces of maltose, and handed it to Gu Mingzhu, "Come, take it and eat it, this is what my uncle specially bought at the market." ”
Is this coaxing a child?
She is no longer a child, she is married.
Looking at the tightly wrapped paper bag, it was for fear of saccharification, so it was tightly wrapped, but I didn't expect the rugged man to have such a careful side.
It is false to say that you are not moved.
This was a gift from her own uncle, Gu Mingzhu happily accepted it and thanked her uncle.
Xuemei and Xuexiang behind him also cleverly greeted Li Kui, and when they saw the two delicate beauties bowing to him, Li Kui only felt that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet? Blushing and not knowing what to do?
Gu Mingzhu smiled and joked to the two maids, "You see that you scared my uncle, but I didn't expect a big man to be frightened by two little girls." ”
Xuemei, Xuexiang covered her handkerchief and smiled, and Li Kui couldn't wait to have a hole in the ground.
It was Li Yan who came to relieve the siege, "Mingzhu, why is it not big or small, even your uncle makes fun of it." ”
Gu Mingzhu hurriedly said no, it was his uncle who was too restrained when he saw the living.
Gu Mingzhu asked Li Yanping why her uncle had time to come to see her today.
Li Yanpin said Li Kui's intention.
Li Yanpin's mother's home is Liujia Village, which is actually not far from Zhengning Village, which is almost the same distance as going to the market town.
Because Li Yanpin and Li Kui have no father since they were children, they were brought up by their grandmother, their grandfather left early, grandma was alone with two children, and there was no man in the family, which shows how difficult life is.
Especially in this countryside, men are the main labor force, and the ploughing in the fields is harrowing and carrying the burden, which is not possible without men.
When the brother and sister reached the age of marriage, Li Yanpin was good-looking, and there were many people who came to ask for marriage, including this Gu family, the Gu family can be said to be a big family, plus Gu Jinkang is good-looking and honest, grandma agreed to the Gu family's marriage proposal, and was ready to marry Li Yan to Gu Jinkang.
And the two of them also saw the right eye.
Unexpectedly, there was an episode in the middle, which almost made the two families turn against each other.
Even Li Kui also took a fancy to a girl in a village not far away, and the girl also liked Li Kui, but the woman's family insisted that the Li family take out eight taels of silver for a gift, which was a lot of money in the first ten years, and it was completely in accordance with the rich family's ceremony, and the Li family was so poor that it was tinkling, not to mention eight taels of silver, even one or two pieces of silver could not be taken out.
After several negotiations, the woman's family just didn't let go, and the grandmother heard that the woman's family wanted the eight taels of silver, which turned out to be to buy a daughter-in-law for the girl's stupid brother, and the broker asked for eight taels of silver before releasing the person.
Grandma is a woman's family, with two children who can't eat enough, can't dress warmly, and she still owes a lot of debt, where to turn eight taels of silver to the woman's family.
I wanted to withdraw from this marriage, and secretly asked someone to tell Li Kui about my daughter-in-law, who knew that when people heard that it was her Li family, their heads shook like rattles, and they refused.
The reason is also straightforward, too poor!
Except for a small dilapidated house with a leaky wind, there is nothing, such a family, who wants to marry a girl, it is not sent to the fire pit!
The three of them sat and looked at each other all night, but they couldn't find the money.
As soon as Grandma gritted her teeth, she went to the door of the Gu family and asked the Gu family to also give a gift of eight taels of silver before she was willing to marry Li Yan.
Mrs. Gu jumped to her feet and turned her face on the spot, saying that the Gu family is not uncommon Li Yanhi, who do you like to marry? also said that grandma loves money and loves crazy, this is selling daughters, not marrying daughters, whoever wants to buy it will marry whom?
Grandma's face turned pale, she didn't expect her daughter's marriage to blow up, but she couldn't help it, Li Kui reached the age of starting a family, and if she dragged it on, she was afraid that she would cut off the Li family's incense, and she was sorry for the dead grandfather.
Otherwise, grandma would not have asked for the eight taels of silver dowry with her face, and when she said that she wanted the eight taels of silver to give a dowry, she was also panicked.
The grandmother, who was ridiculed by Mrs. Gu, went home and fell seriously ill, feeling that she had no face to see her daughter.
Li Yanpin is also helpless, the family is too poor!
I thought this family business would be done here! Unexpectedly, a few days later, Gu Jinkang sent the silver over, saying that the marriage was still unchanged, and asked the matchmaker to marry Li Yan on a fixed date.
After Li Yan married into the Gu family, he learned that Gu Jinkang knelt in front of Gu's house for three days and three nights for this family business, and only then did he get Gu to agree to give eight taels of silver to marry Li Yan.
Mrs. Gu didn't like Li Yanpin in every way for these eight taels of silver, she was treated as a daughter-in-law, and she was completely called by the people of the moment, and she opened her mouth and closed her mouth to pay the dowry money of the eight taels of silver.
Li Yanpin knew that he was ashamed of the Gu family, he rushed to do any dirty work, never complained for half a sentence, and lived a slave-like life in the Gu family with a posture of atonement.
Over time, he developed that kind of weak and bullying temperament, and even with the original owner, he also cultivated this kind of soft temperament, and he didn't dare to say a word even if the people in the Gu family's old mansion bullied him.
This is also the reason why Mrs. Gu doesn't like the second room, she always feels that Li Yanpin is a fox, which makes Gu Jinkang break away from herself, otherwise, for the sake of this woman, Gu Jinkang has been kneeling for three days and three nights.
Later, Gu Jinkang protected Li Yanpin everywhere, which made Mrs. Gu disgusted with her own son.
And the Li family got a gift of eight taels of silver, and before the silver was hot, they turned around and gave it to the woman's family that Li Kui fancied, and set up this family affair for Li Kui.
Gu Mingzhu understands that this is a family for a parent, that is, in some poor mountain villages in modern times, this phenomenon still occurs, some give birth to a boy and a girl, and it happens that the other party also has a son and a daughter, so they simply swapped and even saved the bride price.
Driven by these eight taels of silver, Li Kui finally married his daughter-in-law and topped the door of the Li family.
