Chapter 38: Zhang's Idea

Xie Jinlan didn't know how to answer Zhang's words, so he could only smile awkwardly and politely.

Zhang didn't want Xie Jinlan to echo him or anything, and then complained with a long sigh:

"Jin Lan, you don't know. This iron-pillar daughter-in-law can't give birth to a handle for our old Li family, which is enough to make people unhappy. She's still angry with me as a mother-in-law all day long!

Look at her unlucky face! One more look at her makes me feel uncomfortable! I walk silently on weekdays, and I'm not less scared by her, auntie......."

seemed to see Xie Jinlan's discomfort, and Zhang immediately put on a smiling face:

"Look at me, what are you talking to you about? You are a big man who has not yet married, how do you know this? ”

Xie Jinlan touched her nose with some embarrassment: "Auntie, do you know that I haven't married yet?" ”

Zhang looked at Xie Jinlan jokingly: "That's it, it is said that there is a handsome young man named Jin Lan in our Lijia Village, and there is no intimate daughter-in-law at home!" ”

A trace of gloom crossed Xie Jinlan's eyes: "I'm afraid that when I leave Lijia Village one day, I still won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Zhang suddenly became interested: "What did you say?" ”

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Xie Jinlan's mouth: "The girls in the village ...... when they knew that my family was poor, I didn't come back from studying for so many years, and I had an eighteen-year-old brother below."

Xie Jinlan's unfinished words, Zhang immediately understood. But she smiled indifferently: "I thought it was going on, it's just this little thing!" There will always be girls who see your goodness. ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head very disappointed: "Auntie, you don't have to comfort me." ”

Zhang's eyes rolled, he didn't know what he thought, and looked at Xie Jinlan with interest: "Jin Lan, you tell your aunt first, if you marry a daughter-in-law, how much dowry money can you come up with?" ”

Xie Jinlan's face was slightly red: "My mother said that if there is really a girl who is willing to marry me, she will be willing to follow me to suffer for the rest of her life." This bride price money will be made up anyway, and it will not be less than other people's families. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhang's eyes in an instant: "Jin Lan, auntie has an idea, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Xie Jinlan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhang expectantly: "Auntie, do you really have a way?" ”

Zhang beckoned to Xie Jinlan: "Jin Lan, you come closer." ”

Xie Jinlan moved to Zhang's side as he said.

Zhang covered his ears with his hand and whispered in Xie Jinlan's ear.

Although Ruan Yezhen wanted to know what Aunt Li would say to Xie Jinlan, her upbringing since childhood prevented her from acting so rudely and indecently.

Especially when Xie Jinlan can see her.

I don't know what Zhang said, Xie Jinlan's pupils suddenly shrank, revealing a look of disbelief.

After finishing speaking, Zhang's body moved back to its original position and looked at Xie Jinlan with a smile: "Jin Lan, what do you think of my aunt's idea?" ”

Xie Jinlan waved his hand again and again, his face was full of resistance: "Auntie, this must not be!" ”

Zhang pursed his lips and said, "What's wrong?" Could it be that you don't look down on our little girl? ”

When Ruan Yezhen heard this, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart: "Little girl? Xie Jinlan, how does this have anything to do with Xiaoya? ”

Xie Jinlan looked at Zhang in embarrassment:

"Auntie, it's not that I don't like Xiaoya. It's just that...... You see I'm in my twenties, how old is Xiaoya? This...... It's a joke to say. ”

Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong with this: "What's the joke about this? I heard that the kings in the town are almost fifty years old, and they have taken a teenage girl as a concubine. ”

Xie Jinlan looked a little anxious: "How can this be the same?" ”

Zhang replied disapprenosingly: "What's the difference?" They're in their thirties! ”

Seeing that this didn't make sense for the Zhang family, Xie Jinlan changed his statement: "This is too wronged little girl." What's more, Brother Tiezhu and his sister-in-law must not agree. ”

Zhang gave Xie Jinlan a reassuring look:

"That's the ...... What is there to be wronged by that little girl? After entering the door of your Jin family, you just need to hurt her more. As for Tiegen and his wife, you don't have to worry about anything. In this family, it's still me, the mother, who has the final say. ”

Xie Jinlan still frowned tightly: "I treat Xiaoya as a junior, this child daughter-in-law ......"

Ruan Yezhen on the side didn't know what she thought, the anger on her face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she opened her mouth to urge Xie Jinlan: "Xie Jinlan, you quickly promise Aunt Li." ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen without a trace.

Zhang is still persuading: "Jin Lan, you have also seen that Xiaoya, this child is very well-behaved and sensible on weekdays, and he can do a lot of housework." Take this back to be a child daughter-in-law, you won't suffer. ”

Xie Jinlan's expression was slightly relaxed: "But my mother's side...... I can't explain ......."

Seeing that there was a drama in this matter, Zhang quickly said: "What's so hard to explain here?" If I knew that my son would come to Lijia Village, I would have such a child daughter-in-law, and I would have to wake up laughing in my dreams! ”

Xie Jinlan asked uncertainly: "Really?" Will my mother really be happy? ”

Zhang slapped his thigh and said, "Jin Lan, you just put your heart back in your stomach, auntie, I am from here, and I know what mothers think." ”

Ruan Yezhen glared at Zhang dissatisfiedly:

"I'm afraid this lady's heart isn't black, right? For the sake of these bride price money, he sold his own granddaughter without hesitation, and he was afraid that others would not want to! ”

Xie Jinlan exhaled slowly, as if persuaded by Zhang: "Auntie, can you not talk about this matter first?" Including Brother Iron Pillar them? Wait until the day I leave Lijia Village, how about this matter? ”

Zhang's should not be: "Don't worry, my mouth can be tight!" ”

After a pause, she looked at Xie Jinlan without saying anything: "It's just this bride price, Jin Lan, you see, should you pay a deposit first?" ”

Xie Jinlan nodded in agreement: "This is how it should be." It's just that I don't have that much money on me right now. Will you make up for it another day? ”

Zhang hesitated.

Xie Jinlan looked heartbroken: "Auntie, don't you believe me?" ”

Zhang Shi didn't think about it, so he retorted: "Where are the words! Jin Lan, your character, your aunt is still trustworthy. It's just that there is no evidence for this, and I am really unsteady in my heart. ”

Xie Jinlan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's easy. There was a scholar living next door to Brother Niu's house, and after I went back for a while, I borrowed a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from him to use. Early tomorrow morning, I'll send the note over. What do you think, auntie? ”

Zhang suddenly smiled: "This feeling is good!" Jin Lan, let's settle it! In the future, if someone tells you about matchmaking, you can't say yes! ”
