Chapter 22: The sky-high bride price

Xia Yu thought about his face in his previous life, and his face was directly clouded, and he blasted away Grandma Fang, who had just finished eating and wanted to take away a few tortillas.

But after all, the reborn Xia Yu has lived for more than thirty years in his previous life, and Xia Yu now said to Grandma Fang with a smile: "Grandma Fang, thank you for your favor and love." However, our family is too poor to be worthy of the son of the Wang family. Xia Yu remembered that the son of Wang Jiacai's family seemed to be doing painting work in the old county town in his previous life.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Fang actually said happily: "This girl is so modest, you are so capable, you look good, and you have good grades, who doesn't like it?" As long as your family agrees, I will immediately go to the Wang family's wealth to say ha. ”

Xia Yu can be regarded as understanding, what this grandmother is doing now is to communicate with Wu Chunhua first, and is ready to get Xia Yu's family, and then go to Wang's house to talk to the matchmaker.

Two dead old women, see how I bankrupt your plans.

Xia Yu nodded harmlessly: "Okay, okay." ”

Listening to her daughter's innocent appearance, Wang Xiuzhen was anxious and kept giving Xia Yu tips with her eyes, and Xia Jie suddenly felt bored and shrank into the room to watch TV. Hearing Xia Yu nod, Grandma Fang and Wu Chunhua, who was eavesdropping across the wall, felt that a large stack of banknotes was about to be put into their pockets.

The two dead old women were already smiling, and Grandma Fang said impatiently: "Xiaoyu is a smart child, I will go to Lao Wang's house in a while." ”

Xia Yu took the tortilla and said to Grandma Fang: "Grandma Fang, you know the situation of our family. My mother is only one of my daughters, and I am very fortunate to have raised me as an adult for more than ten years. There is only one son in the Wang family, and although I went to their house to enjoy happiness. But their family at least needs to express it, as is customary. ”

Hearing Xia Yu say this, Grandma Fang also felt that it was reasonable, and nodded in agreement: "Xia Yu is so smart, you say it, I listen." ”

Xia Yushi opened his mouth: "It's not easy for my parents to raise me over the years, I only need the Wang family to pay a bride price of 300,000 yuan." So even after I leave, my parents will have the money to repair the house and send my brother to school. ”

Grandma Fang listened to Xia Yu's lion open mouth, and was so frightened that she was about to fall off the bench, 300,000, you, a girl with a black bean sprouts body, are worth 300,000?

Grandma Fang shook her head, Wang Xiuzhen finally understood Xia Yu's thoughts, nodded with a smile, Grandma Fang then ate corn porridge absentmindedly, and left in a hurry after chatting with Wang Xiuzhen, and even forgot to bring back some food.

Wang Xiuzhen looked at Xia Yu very satisfied, her daughter finally grew up.

Xia Yu's lion's big mouth soon spread in the village, and Wu Chunhua muttered everywhere in the village: "Just like her, she actually wants 300,000 yuan, and it is estimated that even if she sells it in this life, she will not be able to earn this money." ”

Xia Yu knew that Wu Chunhua hated himself inexplicably, and occasionally heard Wu Chunhua say this behind the house, very desperate, how could there be a grandmother in this world who trampled and insulted her own granddaughter like this. Xia Yu was really disappointed and uncomfortable, and really looked at Wu Chunhua as air. Xia Yu snorted lightly, he was not only worth 300,000.

Of course, after such an operation, Xia Yu became a celebrity in the village, a stinky girl who wanted money and wanted crazy. This also led to the fact that Xia Yu was really unpopular, and since then there has been no one to talk about the matchmaker's marriage. Xia Yu was very satisfied, the world was finally clean, and he could continue to study hard.

When Xia Yu was enjoying the simple and warm family life since he was reborn, suddenly Wang Xiuzhen received a call from his father Xia Changde at the neighbor's house. I've been excited since I came back. Early the next morning, I happily went to the town to withdraw the money.

Wang Xiuzhen thought of her husband borrowing a neighbor's phone a few days ago and said to herself: "The money will be distributed immediately on the construction site, and the money will be sent back in a few days." ”

Wang Xiuzhen was very happy and kept Xia Yu's sister and brother at home to take care of themselves. Wang Xiuzhen waited for the shuttle bus excitedly, and after walking to the shuttle, Wang Xiuzhen looked at the other people on the bus, looked at the other people wearing the dry and neat and neat foreign atmosphere, and looked at herself wearing the cheapest and cheap sandals, looking poor and sloppy, Wang Xiuzhen was ashamed of herself, and she couldn't wait to drill into the ground, and secretly decided that after getting the money this time, she must go to buy Sister Xu's half-used leather shoes back at a bargaining price. In this way, you don't have to be so shameless when you go out in the future.

With a restrained and ashamed look, Wang Xiuzhen came to the bank to line up, queued for a long time, and finally it was her turn, Wang Xiuzhen carefully took out the passbook, and said in a very kind tone: "I'll take a thousand yuan." ”

The clerk who sat at the counter took the passbook arrogantly, looked at it for a long time and said, "There are only twenty yuan in it, and there is no money." ”

Wang Xiuzhen was surprised: "It's impossible, my man obviously said that he called me to get money." ”

The white fat female clerk sneered: "Take a woolen money, and you can't take twenty?" ”

Wang Xiuzhen's face turned red and shook her head: "I made a mistake, if I don't take it, I won't take it." Then he hurried away, leaving behind the contemptuous ridicule of the people in the bank.

When Xia Yu made lunch and waited for Wang Xiuzhen to come back, he saw Wang Xiuzhen's lost and embarrassed expression.

Obviously, Xia Yu and Xia Jie both noticed that Wang Xiuzhen's face was not good, the sisters and brothers didn't say anything, and ate properly, and after the family finished eating early in the evening, Wang Xiuzhen arranged for Xia Jie to cut pigweed. Xia Yu accompanied Wang Xiuzhen to pull weeds in the sweet potato field.

When Xia Yu was pulling the grass seriously, Wang Xiuzhen suddenly became angry with Xia Yu: "You lazy thing, grinding, hurry up, hurry up and finish pulling out the grass in this field, seeing that it is getting dark, dead woman, hurry up and pull the grass." ”

When Xia Yu had some inexplicable grievances and wanted to talk back, suddenly Xia Yu remembered this scene in his previous life, and the mother and daughter were also pulling weeds. -for-tat made a noise in the ground, and Xia Yu didn't know the specific experience. Xia Yu remembered that he was very aggrieved at the time, and he didn't understand why Wang Xiuzhen was angry with him. At that time, Xia Yu, who was not very mature in his mind, yelled at his mother Wang Xiuzhen with tears in his eyes: "Why are you angry with me, I haven't done anything wrong?" ”

Wang Xiuzhen was in a depressed mood at that time, oppressed by life, depressed and uncomfortable, and shouted at Xia Yu: "I am not angry with you, who am I sprinkled on?" ”

Then the mother and daughter cried in the fields as neighbors and villagers came and went. The emotions of crying and crying and grief are just jokes.

But the reborn Xia Yu is already very mature, and guessed that Wang Xiuzhen might go to the bank today in vain, his father Xia Changde didn't get a penny in the past half a year, Wang Xiuzhen was disappointed, and it is estimated that he was ridiculed and ridiculed by others in front of the clerk who sat at the counter in the bank. (These things were all told to Xia Yu by Wang Xiuzhen later.) )

In addition, the summer vacation is over soon, and the burden of tuition fees for the sisters and brothers is on Wang Xiuzhen's shoulders again. Wang Xiuzhen must have been very irritable in the face of these pressures, so she had to use Xia Yu as a punching bag.

Xia Yu remembered that in his previous life, the mother and daughter had a big quarrel in the ground, and Xia Yu was so angry that he didn't go home and resolutely refused to forgive his mother Wang Xiuzhen. After hiding in the neighbor Fa Xiaoqiuju's house for three days, he was called home by Wang Xiuzhen only after his anger subsided.

Hey, it's all because Xia Yu's sisters and brothers didn't catch up with the good times, and Xia Jie only began to implement the nine-year compulsory free education after graduating from junior high school. Now the two sisters and brothers will add up to seven or eight hundred tuition and miscellaneous fees, which is too huge for Xia Yu's family or for Wang Xiuzhen, who earns money from the land.

The muffled Xia Yu did not go back as in his previous life, but silently remembered the previous things, and understood the reason why Wang Xiuzhen used Xia Yu as a punching bag.

Xia Yu immediately pulled the weeds, and said to his mother Wang Xiuzhen with a smile: "Mom, if you don't rest on the ridge for a while and drink some boiling water, I will speed up immediately and promise to finish pulling the grass today." If it's dark, isn't there still a moon? Big deal, I'll be able to complete the mission under the moon. ”

Wang Xiuzhen looked at Xia Yu's sensible expression, so she had to swallow the pressure and sadness into her stomach, and didn't get angry at Xia Yu.

The reborn Xia Yu avoided the situation where the mother and daughter quarreled in the field. Xia Yu finally returned home with Wang Xiuzhen when it was completely dark.

Back at home, Xia Jie was watching TV at home alone, looking at Wang Xiuzhen and Xia Yu, and suddenly said: "Mom, sister, I just read the weather forecast, there will be heavy rain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, do we need to receive dried corn kernels into the house?" ”

Hearing Xia Jie's words, the mother and son began to move under the street lamp, and at the same time, they also saw other neighbors harvesting corn kernels. Xia Jie took a broom to sweep the corn spread on the bamboo mat into a pair, and Xia Yu put the piles of corn kernels into the sack, and then half a bag and half a bag resisted into the house. Wang Xiuzhen rolled up several beds of bamboo strips, tied the ropes, resisted into the cattle pen, and leaned against the corner.

It took more than half an hour, and the mother and son finally took back the dried corn kernels. That night, when Xia Yu was still asleep, he felt the slightest coolness blowing in from the gap between the tiles. Although this tiled house is not as strong as a reinforced concrete house, it is unusually breathable.

Just when Xia Yu sighed that the tiled house was breathable, there was suddenly lightning and thunder. Xia Yu remembered that he had been reborn for more than a month, and the last time was on a night of thunder and lightning, and he was reborn, I wonder if he was wearing it back again this time?

Just when Xia Yu was worried about his possible adventure tonight, he did not travel back as expected, but waited for the rain leakage in the tiled house.

Xia Yu immediately turned on the light, took all the water basins in the house, pig food buckets and buckets, and began to collect water everywhere, and then finally could sleep with peace of mind.

When I woke up the next morning, it was still raining, and Xia Jie, who was staying under the eaves, waved to Xia Yu very excitedly: "Sister, come on, look." ”

Xia Yu looked at the pool in the drainage ditch because of the rising water, and suddenly jumped out of several catfish and grass carp of two or three catties, and even several big crabs
