Chapter 158: Success
Since I got the grandfather's consent. My relationship with Jinglin is a sure thing. I've been working tirelessly. The grandfather is behind the scenes. This can be regarded as the unity of heaven and man.
The reason why he proposed to the Jing family at this time. Because. The end of the year is approaching. Engagement. Spring festival. Joy on joy. The picture is auspicious and festive.
So. This marriage is imminent. First go and bring the bride price to propose. And then. Get. My father-in-law nodded in agreement. Then the elders of both sides will discuss and determine the specific date of marriage. Etiquette. Propriety...... There will be a long delay in between. Even if it goes well, it will have to be delayed until the end of the year. Everything has to be ready in advance.
This is the most formal proposal to the old Jing family. Because. My family agreed to all the requests of the Jing family. 40,000 bride price. Plus a small bungalow. All of them were done properly according to the requirements of the old Jing family. Their old Jing family shouldn't have said anything unusual. Moreover. This time, the proposer also went with our proposing team. My future father-in-law, Jing Chengshan, dares to say the word 'no'. My grandfather will get him right away. Don't let me get misunderstood. No. The grandfather wants to take him away. It's about swaying his thoughts. Let him be insincere. Even though. He didn't want to agree to agree to my relationship with Jinglin. Fear. and his mouth will not listen to his own command. As long as. The grandfather moved his mind. He Jing Chengshan only needs to open his mouth to say it in front of the elders of both men and women. Agree with my relationship with Jinglin. to the future. It's hard for him to regret it.
The date was chosen on the eighth day of November. My father invited the clan elders of our family. Four uncles. The four eldest brothers went to Jingjiazhai to propose. Among the four eldest brothers, my cousin Hu Xiangtian prepared four cars for our team. Thereinto. Two cars for people. Two cars of cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea. Full of sincerity. And. Jing Lin's father agreed to all the conditions. The new house was built. 40,000 bride price is a lot. This is an unprecedented event in the more than 200 years of our Yamagen Village. It can be said to be an earth-shattering shock. Very scene. So much so that all the old neighbors of the clan were very worried. My family business has set a precedent for extravagance. In the future, how will the young people in the village decide their relatives? Find a daughter-in-law. All. The girls who want to marry all open their mouths to ask for bungalows. Tens of thousands of dowries at every turn. I'm afraid that most of the young people in the village will beat the sticks. Their fears are not unfounded. But my father and I are steadfast in my position on the matter of marriage. Because the person I want to marry is Jing Lin. It's worth it no matter how much you spend. Again. Nor is this something that can be solved with money. Most of the clan elders were very unhappy. But I can't wipe my face away. I can't hide from helping me propose. Not to mention since my father built a small western-style house from the village. The people in the village were very impressed with our family. What's more, they are also afraid that something will use our father and son in the future. Especially me. Again. There is also my brother Hu Xiangtian shaking the scene. They don't dare to hide even if they want to.
The day before going to propose. Our family feasted on these clerks. The meaning is very simple, just let these big brothers and uncles go and say more good things. Got this family affair done.
During the banquet, his cousin rushed at his cousins and cousins. Bombast. You went and it didn't really work. It's just that there are many people. Pay enough attention to their old Jing family. Other than that, it's a laugh. Don't say anything. With my friendship with the second father-in-law. This family business is settled in minutes'.
My cousin was telling the truth. What kind of character is my father-in-law? The rich party. It's not something that my big brothers can control. Mainly my cousin Hu Xiangtian. He Jing Chengshan is still very jealous of my cousin Hu Xiangtian's reputation. What's more, there is my grandfather behind the scenes.
November 8th. Morning. The proposing team is here. All of them are dignified. Energetic. My cousin is even more of a mother-in-law. My cousin-in-law found me a place to buy a very fashionable suit. I wear it on my body. But it is said that Yushu is in the wind and graceful. In our local vernacular dialect yes. 'Five people and six people'. The guy is very energetic.
Everything is ready to go. Before you go. I deliberately discussed with my cousin that there must be a blank space in the car I was in. My cousin was puzzled. In the end, I couldn't resist it. Leave a blank spot in the car I'm in. In fact. This is the place left for my grandfather. Though. No one could see him. But I can see his old man. So. I have to give him a place. As a sign of respect. Because today Jing Chengshan does not agree with this family business. Master. will play a decisive role.
Nine o'clock in the morning. Departure on time. The convoy slowly drove out of the village. When you drive to the main road in front of the Soul Harvesting Temple at the north end of the village. The grandfather has been waiting on the side of the road for a long time. His old man was as light as a swallow and floated into the car at once. Officially become a member of our proposal team......
The convoy followed the Huanshan Road all the way north. It can't be described as immense. But it's absolutely soothing. Dusty. Because. Before. My cousin has already said hello to my future father-in-law, Jing Chengshan, in advance. So. I was not afraid to go and no one would greet me. Moreover. This kind of marriage is a lifelong event related to children, not child's play. It's just that family affairs can't be married. It doesn't matter if the conversation falls apart. However, it is necessary for the elders of both men and women to talk about the issue together. Agree. What are the requirements. Disagree. And what is the saying. Right. It's not a child's house. You can't play with people.
Jingcheng Mountain. I didn't break my promise. When our family team arrived at their house. The elders of their clan have already been in place. The battle was much more dramatic than the one we proposed. The clan does not count. And many of his friends in the business. Everyone present seemed very happy. Only. My father-in-law, Jing Chengshan, had a gloomy face. Very unhappy look. I knew what he was thinking. There is such a big thing as a marriage. He wanted to go to the scene. The scenery is done. But. I. The family background and background of this future son-in-law. It made him feel unspeakable. It's a shame. But. Things have developed to this point, and it is not up to him Jing Chengshan to have the final say.
But. Seeing Jing Chengshan's face. I'm still a little weak-hearted. For fear of extraneous branches. Something happened. At this time. I couldn't help but glance at my grandfather. The master smoked a dry cigarette and smiled at me. Signal me not to panic. Play it by ear. Fang Baobao. I nodded clearly and followed the crowd into the courtyard of Jinglin's house. Master. Naturally, they also mixed in with the crowd.
Our group had just approached the courtyard. The seven aunts of Jinglin's family. Eight aunts. The third uncle and sixteen aunts moved into the nest. All of them came out. Though. I've been through this before. But I still can't help but feel soft under my feet. Almost fell. Fortunately, he was held up by the grandfather. Otherwise. It's big. The reason I'm so nervous is because all of them in this group are people with heads and faces. You can tell it by looking at the clothes. The gold content is very high. Look again. Our crowd preachers are absolutely shabby. It's like a stinky show. The only one who can handle it is his cousin Hu Xiangtian. No one is there. It's really unbearable.
Our group was very enthusiastically let into the living room by Jinglin's clan elders. After we go in. The huge living room was full of people. This kind of happy event should be so lively. Otherwise. It's weird.
The clerks of both of us sat down. Tea greetings are inevitable. How about the harvest in the autumn of this year. Winter today is not cold. Look at such a scene. Although Jing Lin and I are the protagonists, we can't show it. I can't go over and talk to Jing Lin. I had to look at each other.
On my side, I looked for the figure of the grandfather from the crowd. only to find that the grandfather had already sat on the sofa. And the tea has been drunk. Because. They can't see the grandfather. Jing Lin's uncles and uncles saw that the grandfather was sitting in a position, and no one wanted to sit there. They just got up and wanted to sit down. Just owed. The grandfather handed over his eye-bag pot with fireworks. Just listen. 'Oh' with a scream. They all ran away. Look at their funny looks. I just can't laugh at it.
After a pleasantries. Cut to the chase. Because the clan bosses invited by our family are all ignorant and wooden. My cousin had to do it for me.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Uncles. Although my surname is Hu, today on behalf of the old Shao family, I officially proposed to my old Uncle Jing. I beg Uncle Jing to allow Shao Limin and Jing Lin to do this family business."
"Everything is according to Uncle Jing's requirements. 40,000 yuan bride price" said the table and served a 40,000 yuan bride price with a red plate. Then he continued, "And." A western-style building. Of course. It is impossible to bring the building. Here's a picture I took. Ladies and uncles. You see. All of us men did so. If. What else does Uncle Jing want. Just mention. We all said yes."
Photographs of the building were circulated. looked at the 40,000 yuan of the red plate. All of them are praised. Say. 'It's a big deal. Enough scenes. There is a mountain of money. Look at this Jinglin's in-laws are also very rich. You can't go wrong ......'.
The heat is coming. An older man on the Jing family's side took out a red cloth from under the coffee table and covered the 40,000 yuan with a red cloth. And then. Speak:
"Now the society has long been civilized. Young people pay attention to mutual affection. Free love. The young man that granddaughter Linlin can fancy must not be a mediocre person. Again. This guy Shao Limin. is Hu Xiangtian's cousin. As everyone knows. Hu Xiangtian is a reckless hero. Then his cousin must not be an ordinary person. I look at this young man. Eyes aura. It must be a dragon and a phoenix among people."
"Into a mountain. As long as. You nodded. I think this family business is settled."
Everyone's eyes were focused on my father-in-law, Jing Chengshan. All he had to do was say yes. My family affair with Jinglin is done. Behold......
"I don't agree" Jing Chengshan's words. It was like a thunderclap on the ground. Everyone present was stunned. You disagree. You bring the two families together and toss and play. Sick.
"I don't agree," Jing Chengshan added, ...... followed. Repeatedly stated his position. To this day, he still doesn't want to agree to my marriage to Jinglin. He had thought. My family can't afford to pay 40,000 dowries. I can't afford to build a building. But what about the result. All realized. But he played Rippy.
"I don't agree with Jing Lin and Shao Limin's family business...... "The words are as light as water three times. My grandfather knocked the bag of pots on Jing Chengshan's forehead. A miracle happened.
"I agree. I agree. Agree with Jing Lin and Shao Limin's family business"
My heart just went to my throat. Now it's a stone to the ground. The grandfather remedied it in time. didn't let this family business be a foregone conclusion too early.
"I'll just say it. Brother Chengshan. Bringing all of us here is to see the joke. Linlin's family business is not successful. He's not going to let us come."
"I disagree. Disagree...... "Jing Chengshan seems to be sober again." The people of their family were reluctant. The older men began to count him:
"Into a mountain. How do you come up with an idea. You take the two children's lifelong events as child's play. You have never been frivolous. Today. Why....... ”
"I disagree. I agree. Do I agree or disagree?" Jing Chengshan seemed to be confused for a while. Everyone present was dumbfounded. How did Jing Chengshan, who has always been very shrewd, become like crazy.
Then. My grandfather picked up the eye bag again and smashed the pot heavily on Jing Chengshan's head. Then he spat a cigarette in his face......
"I agree with Shao Erdan and Jing Lin's family affairs. Shao Erdan is a good guy. is a man worthy of Jing Lin's life. I want my daughter to be happy. I agree with my daughter to marry Shao Erdan," Jing Chengshan was very excited. I know that the master has completely taken him out.
But when they heard this, they looked at each other. They all asked, "Say it's Shao Erdan." ”
"I am," I stood up and greeted the crowd. At this time, Jing Chengshan sat on the sofa and didn't say a word. There was a long silence. Finally cried. Those present somehow. All were shocked.
When heard. When Jing Chengshan cried. I know. He's awakened. But he has been unable to change reality. The kind of emotion he expressed with his tears. Until years later. I don't know until I have a daughter of my own. That's the love of the daughter. I'm afraid she chose the wrong man.
