Widow Xie and Hu Liang did not return until the evening.

Hu Liang gave Ji Yu the broken silver horn that he had exchanged, and there was no joy on his face that his wish had been fulfilled.

Seeing Ji Yu looking at him, he pulled the corners of his mouth and made a joke: "Thanks to Yeyang's recent weathering, those bandits and strongmen have been cleaned up by the army, otherwise I am really afraid of being robbed when I walk with so much money." ”

He put on a smile, but a discerning person can tell how reluctant he is at a glance.

Widow Xie's face was not good-looking.

Don't you get a commission? The girl is unwilling again?

Ji Yu speculated in her heart, and in front of several children, it was not good to ask directly.

The family ate with their heads bored, and no one spoke at the dinner table.

Before going to bed, Widow Xie spread a thick old felt blanket on the ground, and then put the two quilts on them and rolled them into tubes.

Ji Yu hugged Dabao, who was already asleep, into it first, and then lay down on the quilt with her.

Seeing that Widow Xie was still sitting on the edge of the kang and was distracted, she asked in a low voice, "Aunt Xie, is there anything difficult about it?" ”

Widow Xie held back for a day, and it was not light.

Seeing that the younger sister and the old lady were asleep, she got off the kang and sat down on the side of the bed, sighed, thinking that Ji Yu had always had an idea, and she didn't hide it from her.

There are no three books and six etiquette in the countryside, so she and Hu Liang prepared the etiquette from the county seat and went directly to Caojiazhuang.

The major event of her son's life, this is the case for a lifetime, and Widow Xie gritted her teeth and paid her blood.

The silver hairpin alone was thrown out for more than one or two, and he spent six dollars of silver to buy a silk, two dollars of silver with a muslin cloth, and all kinds of pastries, fruit wine, chicken, duck, and fish.

The Cao family had informed them in advance, and when Mrs. Cao saw that they had pulled a car full of things, her face, which had not been a little hot in the past, showed her smiling teeth.

didn't say that he would let people into the house and sit down to serve a cup of tea first, so he beckoned his son and daughter-in-law to move the things to the courtyard quickly.

Knowing that today was the day of her daughter's ceremony, many people in the village came to see, not to mention how proud Mrs. Cao was, completely forgetting that she had complained about her dead husband and father before.

Cao Pozi showed that she had enough, and then led people into the house.

The girl's family wants to be faced, today is another important day, Cao Yunyun has been hiding in her house and has not shown up, but the lunch meal is her single-handed, which also shows the importance of her mother-in-law's family.

Mrs. Cao blew out her daughter's cooking skills, but for Widow Xie and Hu Liang, it was actually the same thing, after all, they had eaten better.

However, this scene can't help but be praised, especially Hu Liang, he is satisfied with Cao Yunyun, and he is six points of cooking skills, which is worth ten points in his opinion.

Cao Yunyun was busy working on the last soup in the stove room, and faintly heard Hu Liang's praise, and quietly blushed.

Although Mrs. Cao's mouth is broken and annoying, she can barely finish a meal with He Lele.

Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Cao glanced at each other, and Mrs. Cao pouted.

Cao Laohan coughed and said, "Let's talk about the next thing." ”

What else can happen next, the gift is already complete, and the silver is missing.

Guanbei is not rich, and the gift money is also thin, especially in their rural areas, a normal person's one or two taels of silver is already decent.

Widow Xie is not a stingy person, and the daughter of the Cao family has dragged on for Liangzi for all these years, so she can't help it, so she plans to add a few more taels to make up five taels.

She thought about being generous, but she didn't expect that people had a bigger appetite, and one mouth would cost fifteen taels!

Widow Xie's face changed immediately, and she couldn't wait to leave on the spot, but when she saw her son looking at her pleadingly, she couldn't help but stay.

She also wants to hear Mrs. Cao say that her daughter is inlaid with gold or silver, why is she more expensive than the girl in the town!

Mrs. Cao saw the eyebrows and lawsuits of the mother and son, and just now she was a little afraid that Widow Xie would turn her face, but now she is not worried at all, and she can't wait to be higher.

Anyway, as long as Hu Liang's heart is in Yunyun, she Xie Widow has to pay obediently no matter how unwilling she is.

"In-laws, it's not that my mother-in-law sells melons and boasts, you have all seen us, in terms of appearance and figure, on the cooking of female workers, it is more than enough for the town. To tell you the truth, in the past two years, there have been many people who have come to the door...... Ahem, but we didn't agree to it. The main Yunyun child is dead-eyed, no matter how rich and handsome she is, she can't look down on her, so she is bent on marrying your Hu Liang, and she has even gone on a hunger strike for this......"

Cao Pozi said, secretly glanced at Hu Liang, and sure enough, she saw that he was both guilty and moved.

She continued to add firewood to the fire: "Actually, fifteen taels is not too high, and some families have reached thirty taels, so they are rushing to Yunyun to give birth." You said that if we were greedy for money, we would just let go and marry our daughter...... Anyway, the father-in-law and Liangzi and his father were also verbally decided, and there is no evidence, if you are really unhappy, you can't help it, right? However, our old Cao family values faith and righteousness, and does not do things that lack virtue. ”

The faith of the fart, you have not yet lacked virtue to reach home! It's good to give birth, and if it's good to give birth, then you can still give birth to a dragon egg?

Widow Xie tried to suppress her anger as much as she could, trying to reason with them.

"You know the situation of our family, since Liangzi's father and his eldest brother left, the family is all eating, and there is no one who can make money. In the past two years, the good son has grown up to be better, but we can only take five taels out, and more...... It's just embarrassing. You are not ignorant of the market, so you can visit other villages to see how many of them can exceed this amount. ”

"You can't say that." Cao Yunyun's sister-in-law, Wang, pursed her mouth, "Who doesn't know that your family has started a business recently, and there are many people in our village who go to your house to sell vegetables. That's a lot of money to make! You make a lot of money quietly, and you would rather bring outsiders than think of bringing us in-laws, don't we say anything? Why are you still stingy with the gift money, just give five taels, don't you lose five taels! With your current family background, fifteen taels is not a matter of sprinkling water. ”

Widow Xie finally knew why the Cao family opened their mouths today.

I don't know where I heard that they made money, and my heart and eyes followed.

But no matter how much money it is, it is also their hard-earned money, and his Cao family wants to rob it for nothing with a daughter, and wants to be beautiful!

Widow Xie immediately got up, dragged Hu Liang and left.

Hu Liang was also very annoyed by the Cao family's style, so he didn't say anything more, and followed his mother out of the hall.

As soon as one foot stepped out of the hospital door, I heard a sound of Brother Liangzi.

He turned around and saw Cao Yunyun coming out of the stove room with half of her wet face exposed, obviously crying.

Hu Liang's heart suddenly pinched, and he couldn't move anymore.

Widow Xie also knew that it was not about Cao Yunyun, but seeing that the rest of the Cao family looked like they were eating them, she couldn't swallow that breath in her heart, and dragged Hu Liang away.

After listening to the cause and effect, Ji Yu was also a little speechless.

Fifteen taels of gift money is really a matter of sprinkling water in rich people's homes, but in the villager's family, it may not be saved in five or six years. The ancestors of the Cao family are also mud legs, these should be very clear, it's a shame that they dare to open this mouth.

It's no wonder that Hu Liang came back today and looked depressed.

Widow Xie was angry and began to worry again.

"I really don't want to get married to the Cao family, but Liangzi likes the daughter of the Cao family, and the daughter of the Cao family is also benevolent and righteous, and I have waited for all these years...... You said that if we don't marry, she won't be able to think about it......"
