Zhou Ming spoke, and everyone got out of the way.

Lao Li Tou hurriedly stepped forward at this time.

Zhou Ming asked him to wait outside the door, while he went in to find the old cow.

Lao Niu's family has a son and a daughter, the son went to the army, and the daughter is ready to get married.

Lao Niu came out with red eyes, and when he saw Lao Li there, he didn't give a good face.

"The Niu family is in charge, it's all the fault of our old Li family, our fault, I'll kneel down for you, I can't accompany you." Lao Li Tou knelt down as he spoke.

Lao Li Tou regretted it a lot, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"You old Li, why did you do this in the first place, you have to make a fuss like this." The matchmaker complained on the side.

Lao Niu didn't look over his head, he didn't look at Lao Litou, he was obviously very angry.

Zhou Ming had a gloomy face, the boss of the Niu family went to be a soldier, and he had a good relationship with him, as a retired soldier, he would never allow his comrades-in-arms to be wronged.

Zhou Ming said in a deep voice: "If you don't make it clear today, you must not count it like this." ”

Lao Li Tou said: "My family has no money, there is not a copper coin, there is really no way to give a dowry, I was thinking, I will apologize after a while, who knows that everyone knows about the trouble now." ”

As soon as Lao Li Tou said, the matchmaker stopped first, pointed at Lao Li and scolded: "Okay, you Lao Li, look at your family has built a new house, there is land and cattle, and you also said that the dowry was given, why did you tell me that there was not a single copper coin when the matter came to an end, and you deliberately tricked me." ”

"Besides, if you don't have money, according to your family's conditions, you can borrow some from the villagers and get by, you have to make trouble like this."

The matchmaker pointed at Lao Li and scolded, that angry, he didn't make any money, and now his reputation has been damaged, how will he be a matchmaker in the future.

Lao Li Tou hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, my family was rich, and I didn't deceive you." ”

"Hmph." The matchmaker snorted coldly with her hands on her hips and said, "There hasn't been any change in your family, why don't you have any money, you just play tricks on me." ”

The crowd also looked at him unkindly, thinking that he was lying.

Lao Li Tou saw that their eyes were wrong, and he was very anxious.

Lao Niu still didn't look at him, Zhou Ming snorted coldly and stared at him.

"I really didn't lie to you, the day before yesterday, it wasn't Lord Zhang who needed money the day before yesterday, so I made the decision to take the more than 3,000 copper coins at home to the government to support Lord Zhang, by the way, I have a certificate, I have a certificate, I'll go home and get it, I really didn't lie to you." Lao Li Tou hurriedly explained.

After Lao Li Tou finished speaking, he stood up and wanted to go back to get the voucher.

"Stop!" Zhou Ming stopped Lao Li Tou.

Lao Li was nervous, and hurriedly explained: "Really, I went the day before yesterday, and the voucher was at home, and I really got all the money to the county government to support Master Zhang." ”

Lao Li Tou thought that everyone didn't believe him, and then explained.

The old cow also turned his head to look at him.

Zhou Ming's face was much better, and he asked Lao Li how he paid the money.

"Hey, I remembered, one day I went to pay the money and did see the four of you coming back from the county seat, when you were walking with the wind, I didn't hear you calling, it was so exciting." At this time, a person next to him said.

Zhou Ming was sure that he was just using the money to support Zhang Yu, and not deliberately not coming to the dowry, so his face changed for the better.

"Brother, I made you feel wronged, I didn't know about this situation just now, and I looked at you coldly." Zhou Ming stepped forward to apologize and said.

Although the matchmaker's face improved, she still looked disgusted.

"Fool, I don't care about my son's big things, you won't keep some." The matchmaker said.

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, just figure it out, Lao Li, don't stand, come and sit, come and sit." Lao Niu also suddenly changed his face and asked Lao Li to come and sit.

There were some stone chairs outside the courtyard, and Lao Li was pulled over by Lao Niu, and he was still confused at this time.

"Lao Li, just say this situation, everyone is nervous." Lao Niu said.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault, it's my fault." Lao Li didn't care what people said, so he quickly admitted his mistake.

"You sit down here first, and I'll go in and explain something to the two of them, so that they don't worry." After the old cow finished speaking, he went into the house.

After Lao Niu left, Lao Li was still worried, and Zhou Ming came to accompany him.

"Old Uncle Li, I have been a soldier for three years, and I have been an instructor here for two years after retiring, I have seen a lot, I can understand your thoughts, most of us here have been favored by the lord, and everyone knows how the lord treats us, if you tell us about this, it will not be like this." Zhou Ming said.

Now Zhou Ming doesn't blame Lao Li for not coming to the dowry.

After a while, Lao Niu came out, sat down and said, "It's okay, tell the two of you." ”

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Lao Li apologized again.

Lao Niu waved his hand and said, "Since you are here today, then the matter must be agreed, do we want to get married?" If you want to get married, you should make the next day again, and if you don't get married, you should make it clear in front of everyone. ”

"Ah, but my family doesn't have the money to pay a dowry." Lao Li Tou didn't expect Lao Niu to make such a request, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

I saw Lao Niu wave his hand and said: "The dowry is easy to discuss, the key is whether to get married or not." ”

"Yes, yes, of course." Lao Li nodded hurriedly and said.

"Okay, then let's say it, there are many witnesses here. As for the dowry, then a load of grain, what do you think? Lao Niu said.

"No, no, no, how can I do it, the dowry is still according to the previous one, and I will borrow it." Lao Li said.

Lao Niu waved his hand and said: "My son is a soldier, and his family has land and cattle, and the settlement fee is more, and my son's monthly military salary is also more, and the family is living very well." The dowry is nothing to me, the key is that the two families should come together. ”

Lao Li nodded and said: "Thank you for your tolerance, I made such a big mistake, and you still treat me like this, how can I not know what is good or bad." ”

Zhou Ming is also happy, it is naturally the best thing to be able to resolve it smoothly at this time and have a happy ending.

"Haha, since that's the case, why don't we set a date for the happy event now." Zhou Ming said.

As soon as Zhou Ming said it, the two agreed, and the blind dates were also very happy and came to help.

Soon you will be on a date, just a month from now.

"Okay, we will be in-laws from now on." Lao Niu said.

"Yes, yes, it's my family." Lao Li said.

The villagers are also happy for them, this matter is going to be yellow, and the reputation of the daughter of the old Niu family has been affected, and she almost hanged herself, but now the matter has passed.

Lao Li couldn't sit still and hurriedly went back to report the good news.

After Lao Li left, Lao Niu said: "My in-laws, if I can thank Master Zhang for his kindness to us, my daughter will be blessed to marry her." ”

Lao Niu also fled from other places, and he also went to the county government to take out all the family's savings, but because he wanted to give his daughter a dowry, he only took out hundreds of copper coins, but he didn't expect Lao Li's family to take out all the copper coins directly.
