Xiao's mother waited for Du Shi to finish speaking, and said to Du Shi: "Sister-in-law, this marriage is a major event in life, you have the intention to marry Xiu'er to Zheng'er, and my sister is loved by my sister-in-law, but this matter is also a big deal for Zheng'er, he is not too old now, and when our mother and son go back tonight, I will ask Zheng'er well, and then reply to my sister-in-law."

Through the dim oil light, Xiao's mother saw a trace of unhappiness flashing on Du's face, and soon Du's reacted and said with a smile: "It's okay, as the sister said, marriage is a major event in life, not something to be done right away, then I'll wait for you to reply tomorrow, you and Zheng'er go back and think about it, and get up tomorrow morning and come back to me."

When Xiao's mother and son returned to the room of the old house, Xiao's mother told Xiao Zheng about tonight's events, Xiao Zheng didn't reply, the mother and son sat quietly in the room, Xiao Zheng felt his mother's depression and depression in the dark, Xiao's mother said to the right child: "Zheng'er, I think Xiu'er is also a good girl, or you will marry her, right?" ”。 Xiao Zheng said to Xiao's mother: "A-Niang, are you sure that he and she are sincere in marrying Xiu'er to me?" After your dowry goes out, you don't even have a marriage certificate, even if you have a marriage letter, what can you do if she returns the marriage book, and then he and she will say that those dowry gifts are your congratulatory gifts to the dog."

Xiao's mother thought for a while and said, "I don't think she's going to do this, right?" Xiao Zheng replied: "The matter of building a house has just passed, A-Niang, do you remember what Du Shi said?" After hearing this, Xiao's mother sighed and said, "Then what can we do with our mother and son?" People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads". Xiao Zheng replied resolutely: "Early tomorrow morning, you said that I didn't want to start a family first, if I really agree, as soon as you give the dowry, she will squeeze out your money, and we will have no money, and she will still kick us out, rather than falling out now, it is much better than falling out in the future." Xiao's mother thought for a while and said, "Zheng'er, you're right."

The next morning, Xiao's mother had just finished washing, and Du Shi entered the old courtyard early, and said to Xiao's mother with a smile on her face: "Sister, should the title of our two families be changed to mother-in-law?" Today is a day of great joy, so let's kiss each other. You see when you pick an auspicious day to renovate this old house as soon as possible, so that Zheng'er can get ready for Xiu'er to marry Xiu'er." Xiao's mother looked at Du Shi and said I asked Zheng'er last night, and Zheng'er said that she was young and not in a hurry, and she would not be in a hurry to wait a few more years when she got married. The smile on Du Shi's face was a little stiff, and he rolled his eyes and said: "What my sister said is right, otherwise, sister, you have money in hand, let's rebuild this old house first." Get ready for Zheng'er to marry Xiu'er, what about this Xiu'er's dowry, you go first, and when these things are done, you will marry Xiu'er in a year or two, do you think this will work? ”。 Mother Xiao glanced at Du Shi with disgust and said, "Sister-in-law, this matter is not in a hurry, and it will be too late for us to build a house and give a dowry before Zheng'er marries Xiu'er again." When Du Shi heard Xiao's mother say this, there was a trace of anger on his face, so he turned his head to look at Xiao Zheng with a straight face and said, "My Xiu'er is not something that ordinary people can marry, you also saw it a few days ago, the royal family of the silk village in Jinyang City also sent someone to ask for Xiu'er's eight characters, don't think that my family's Xiu'er is waiting for you to marry your son."

Xiao's mother smiled and said to Du Shi: "Sister-in-law, if Xiu'er really meets a good family, I won't stop my sister, and my sister will have a glass of happy wine at that time." Just like you just said, whether Zheng'er can marry Xiu'er depends on whether he has that blessing." When Du Shi heard Xiao's mother say this, she finally couldn't hold back her anger, revealing her fierce nature, she pointed at Xiao's mother and son with her finger and said, "Sister, if my family hadn't taken in your mother and son in the past six months, you two would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago." My family Xiu'er is also a well-known good girl in the township, do you know how many good people ask for it now, I promised her to your son, but you don't know what to do! ”。

When Xiao Mu saw Du Shi's nonsense so upside down, she couldn't help but be angry, and she was about to open her mouth to speak, but she saw Xiao Zheng waving her hand to herself to stop the conversation. Xiao Zheng stepped forward and said to Du Shi: "Uncle is very kind to my nephew, thank you very much, do you think this is good?" We can make a dowry today, but the marriage is a major event, the parents' life, the matchmaker's words, the parents' life can be with the two of you, and the matchmaker's words can't be missing, let's see if we invite two or three respected elders in the village, in front of the villagers, let's write the marriage book, let's let the villagers do a witness."

Du Shi was choked up and speechless when she heard this, she thought that even if she was scared and deceived again, she could make Xiao's mother comply, but Xiao Zheng jumped out halfway, if she really did what Xiao Zheng said, and wrote down the marriage book in front of the villagers, Du Shi had no choice, even if she regretted the marriage, Xiu'er's reputation was stinky. Du Shi's eyes rolled, and after relieving himself, his smiling face immediately turned up again, and he said to Xiao's mother with a smile: "Sister, I was a little anxious just now, sister, don't be weird, you see if this will work, I mean, we are all our own families, and we don't need to find a matchmaker to witness it." Zheng'er is also a literate and hyphenated person, and it is not too difficult to write a marriage letter. After you finish this dowry, let's put this wedding book in your hands, do you think it's okay? ”。

Xiao Zheng smiled and said to Du Shi: "Uncle, where in the world is there a matter of writing a marriage letter for yourself, and marriage is a major matter of people, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, you also have to think about Xiu'er, we can't snub you and Xiu'er in terms of etiquette." If there is no villager to testify, how do you know that I am married to Xiu'er, and you look at the dowry is also a day of great joy, if you don't invite the villagers to be happy, you can't say it from your aunt's side." Xiao Zheng, who has always not talked much, choked Du Shi so much that he had nothing to say, and Du Shi also knew in his heart that once Xiu'er's marriage was made public in front of the villagers, Xiu'er would never be able to find a good family in the future, Xiao's mother also saw the clues through the dialogue between the two at this time, and she also saw through that it was impossible for Du Shi to sincerely marry a Xiu'er to Xiao Zheng, who was down. She also smiled and said to Du Shi: "Sister-in-law, let's be like this, my sister is also familiar with the people in the village, let's choose a day as well as hit the day, now I call to find a few respected old people in the village to come over to be a witness, let's write a marriage letter and give a dowry immediately."

One of the two families was anxious to want the other party to give the dowry first, and the other was anxious to find the villagers to witness the marriage, and the words were frozen here, Du Shi saw that the things she had calculated were messed up by Xiao Zheng's words, so she rolled her eyes and pointed at Xiao Zheng and scolded: "You little cub, this is a matter between me and your mother, the parents are in charge of marriage matters, where can you get the turn to speak." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said angrily to Xiao's mother: "This little cub has green smoke on the ancestral grave before he can marry my family Xiu'er, doesn't he just know a few more words, this is a fart!" A shabby who can't even pick up a hoe, you eat and drink mine at my house, don't give you a shame! ”。

Xiao's mother saw Du Shi insulting her son so much, no matter how good he was, but the heart of protecting the calf also made her angry, she angrily reprimanded Du Shi and said: "Sister-in-law, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking about, I know your little heart clearly." Do you raise me and Zheng'er? You touch your conscience when you speak like this! Our mother and son eat and drink with you, and you don't know how much money you took from me? Don't think I'm stupid, the money you took from me to buy rice is enough for our family to eat and drink for three years, and is this house built by you, you built it, and you still treat our mother and son as outsiders, and now you come to trick us into continuing to build a house for you, I don't think the money for the dog's marriage in the future will also be out of the sister, are you a cash cow for our mother and son, or are we fools".

The two sisters-in-law were arguing with their faces torn apart, Gouzi and Xiu'er heard the sound and ran over from the new house, Gouzi pulled Du Shi and said, "Auntie, why are you arguing with your aunt?" My aunt is here to take care of our family's food and drink, and she is so good to us, why are you still quarreling with her? When Du Shi heard this, he added fuel to the fire, turned around and slapped the dog firmly and scolded: "Eat!" Eat! Eat! You know how to eat! Like your father, he's a fool, shit!".
