Chapter 31: When the Marriage Discussion is in Progress

Old man Bai asked Bai Zichao a lot about the situation of his relatives, and Bai Zichao answered them one by one, and the old man lowered his head and pondered, as if he was considering whether this matter could be done.

Seeing this, the old lady on the side said: "It's a girl on the left and right, and sooner or later she will get married. ”

The Bai family has always been the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and the old lady's words about the marriage of the girls in the family are also very weighty, the old man listened, nodded, and said, "Nacheng, call them in and discuss the specific matters." ”

Bai Qiuluo kept hanging her head, pretending to be shy, but in fact, she listened to the people in the room very calmly, hearing this, the corner of her eyes quietly looked at Bai Zichao, and sure enough, she saw him get up and go out to call someone with a happy face.

After the other party came in, he had a brief conversation, and only then did he know that the man headed by Bai Qiuluo was the head of the family that Bai Qiuluo was going to marry, called Wei Changfu.

At the beginning, it was very pleasant, and this family affair was about to be completed.

Bai Qiuluo on the side finally couldn't sit still, her body writhed uneasily, and her brain was spinning rapidly, how to divert the topic so as to expose Bai Zichao's conspiracy.

It just so happened that she overheard the two sides talking about the bride price.

His eyes lit up, and Bai Qiuluo hurriedly concentrated on listening to them.

"Regarding this bride price, how much does the old man think is appropriate?" Wei Changfu asked with a smile.

"Bride ......" The old man had just spoken, but was interrupted by Bai Zichao's interjection.

"Didn't we say a good hundred taels of dowry?" Bai Zichao said anxiously.

As soon as he said this, the Bai family in the house all looked at him in shock, except for the old lady and Bai Qiuluo, who were prepared, the old man, Bai Zixin and the Chen family all looked at him in surprise.

"Boss, isn't this a little out of place? It's too much. The old man turned his head sideways and whispered in Bai Zichao's ear.

"Not much, Dad, you let me do the dowry." Bai Zichao also whispered.

Bai Qiuluo's face was silent, but he secretly sneered in his heart as he watched the father and son bite their ears.

You must know that in this era, marrying a daughter-in-law is mostly only a dozen or twenty taels of silver, which also includes the money for inviting matchmakers and setting up banquets, and one hundred taels is almost the same as an astronomical amount for a farmer.

At such a price, it is not to marry a daughter, but to sell a daughter.

Bai Zixin and his wife obviously thought of this, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Wei Changfu was a little embarrassed on his face, and said bitterly: "Don't hide it from the old man, although my family has some money, but if I take out a hundred taels, I am afraid that the family will be empty, and his uncle also knows the situation of my family......"

"What's the situation?" Bai Zixin on the side frowned and asked.

"Hey, what's the situation, didn't you just say it!" Bai Zichao hurriedly laughed, sloppy, but gave Wei Changfu a look.

Wei Changfu seemed to think of something, pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"Let me tell you, this girl in my family is capable, a hundred taels is really not much, how many people in this village say kiss to her, I don't want her to marry, this is to see that you have a fate with your brother, so I agreed......" Bai Zichao began to flicker again.

There was displeasure in the eyes of the people who came with him, and he didn't care, and continued to lobby.

Bai Qiuluo knew that his opportunity had come.

Seeing that Bai Zichao was talking dryly, she stopped to drink water, and she muttered in a low voice: "Uncle, are you not paying back Steward Li's money, and you have to sell Luoluo to pay off the debt." ”

The voice was small and aggrieved, and he looked up at Bai Zichao, his eyes were already full of tears.

Bai Zichao shook the hand holding the kettle, and the water spilled on the table, he panicked, how could she know?

Seeing that everyone looked at him suspiciously, he hurriedly said: "What nonsense are you talking about, uncle, this is to find your mother-in-law." ”

"But with so much dowry, I won't have a good life even if I get married, I ...... I'm afraid ......" Bai Qiuluo was scared with a look on his face.

If the Wei family takes one hundred taels to marry Bai Qiuluo, then the Bai family should also come up with the corresponding dowry, but in this case, can the Bai family come up with so many dowries for Bai Qiuluo?

can't get so many dowries, which means that Bai Qiuluo will be looked down upon and looked down upon by her husband's family when she marries in the past.

The people of the Bai family understood this truth, so they didn't say a word even to the old man.

And Bai Zichao was afraid of things, and hurriedly said: "You girl, what nonsense, the Wei family is honest and responsible farmers, and marrying a wife is also to live a good life, what are you afraid of." ”

Bai Qiuluo's eyes were full of mist, he sniffed, and said pitifully, "But I don't want to marry." I'm only thirteen years old, and I haven't had time to repay my father and mother for raising me, and I haven't honored my grandfather and grandmother well, so I don't want to marry so early. ”

Old Man Bai's eyes softened when he heard this, he liked filial children the most.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about, your father and I have your uncle and your father to take care of, you need to worry about it, you get married quickly, and your mother can give you a younger brother." The old lady on the side said busily.

Chen Ping's face turned pale when she heard this, and she silently lowered her head and did not speak.

When she gave birth to a child, she fell ill, and she has not been able to conceive a second one for so many years, and she only has a white autumn fall under her knees, and the old lady said this, undoubtedly revealing her scars.

"It's not, the third child, it's not my brother who said you, this inheritance is a man's business, what is it for you to hold a girl's film, hurry up and marry her, let your younger siblings give you another child." Bai Zichao on the side said loudly.

Bai Zixin frowned and did not speak.

Bai Qiuluo suddenly felt bad when she saw it, if she went according to this situation, she was afraid that she would be married, but she could let an ordinary family take out so much money to marry, if the other party didn't have anything to do, she wouldn't believe anything.

Bai Qiuluo's eyes rolled, and he covered his head violently and cried: "Dad, mother, don't marry Luoluo, I still have to be filial to you, why is the uncle so ruthless, he has to drive Luoluo away, wow......"

Now there is no good way to stop Bai Zichao's conspiracy, and it is a good idea to cry and divert attention.

Anyway, she is a thirteen-year-old girl now, and there is no shame in crying.

Everyone was startled by Bai Qiuluo's cry, and looked at her with their eyes, obviously no one expected this one.

The people of the Wei family looked at Bai Zichao with a strange face, didn't they all say yes? How so?

The old lady is a shrewd person, and she can see the subtle changes in the Wei family's expression at a glance, and she is afraid that this matter will be yellow, so she will immediately go up and pull Bai Qiuluo.

"You dead girl, the Wei family can see that you are your convincing, why are you crying, I'm not dead yet, you are mourning here."

"Mother, mother, don't talk about it, what can you do when you pull it out?" Chen Ping stepped forward to protect Bai Qiuluo.

The injury she suffered a few days earlier was just right, and she blocked it for Bai Qiuluo again, and suddenly felt that her body hurt terribly, thinking of what happened to Bai Qiuluo and herself, she couldn't help crying loudly.

The old lady just wanted Bai Qiuluo not to cry, but she didn't want to make her cry again, and she was suddenly so angry that she fell backwards.

followed by a slap on Chen Ping's back, and scolded in his mouth: "You are a mourning star, a goods who doesn't lay eggs, I haven't seen you give birth to a kid for so many years, what do you do to protect a dead girl so tightly, the old lady can still eat her." Let me tell you clearly, today she has to marry if she marries, and she has to marry if she doesn't. ”

Bai Zixin saw that Chen Ping called his wife to beat him, so he hurriedly pounced on him to protect him, "Mother, if you have something to say, let's not start beating people, there are still outsiders here, it's not a joke." ”

A few days ago, the old lady just came back and the injury was about to get better, these days Xiaoping simply ignored him, the relationship between the husband and wife has not eased, if he is beaten like this again, Bai Zixin can imagine how Chen Ping will not treat him at that time.

The old lady was angry, no matter if there was anyone else, she slapped Bai Zixin's back hard one after another, scolding in her mouth.

"You idiot who has a daughter-in-law and forgets your mother, you are used to it, ask you to protect it, this is going to go to the house to uncover the tiles, see if I don't kill you today."

The Bai family was suddenly in chaos, crying and cursing, and the people of the Wei family didn't have much to stay when they saw this, so they retreated.

Seeing this, Bai Zichao hurriedly followed out the door.

Bai Qiuluo was protected by Chen Ping in his arms, crying while looking at Bai Zichao's back with teary eyes, and he couldn't hide the hatred in his heart.

If it weren't for this selfish uncle, she wouldn't have fallen into this situation and become so passive.

Bai Zi went out to the Wei family, who were chasing after him.

"Brother Wei, didn't you say that you would let you take people away after the bride price of one hundred taels? How did you regret it? Bai Zichao grabbed Wei Changfu and said with a dissatisfied face.

Wei Changfu shook off Bai Zichao's hand and sneered: "Bai Zichao, didn't you say that everything has been dealt with here?" I don't think it's like it's been dealt with like that, you're trying to trick me. ”

is different from the honesty and honesty when he was in the Bai family, Wei Changfu's eyes at this moment are full of fierce light.

Bai Zichao was so frightened that he took two steps back, and then stiffened his neck and said: "It's not all you who made trouble, you have to pull the bride money out, otherwise you will directly give the money and take the person over, and there will be nothing to do here." ”

"Bai Zichao, you should be stupid! The matter of the bride price was obviously said by you, and Lao Tzu just answered. And if you want it, it's a hundred taels, and the little girl's yellow and thin appearance just now is not worth a hundred taels. Wei Changfu's face was fierce, and he directly stepped forward and grabbed Bai Zichao's collar and said angrily.

Bai Zichao is very bad for this person, so he dares to act in front of a good person, and when he encounters a fierce and vicious person like Wei Changfu, he will be the first to coax him.

A flattering smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "Brother Wei, don't worry, I will keep this matter." That girl is still young, it's good to raise it, and you look at that girl, her facial features can be marked, and she must be a beauty when she grows up. ”

Wei Changfu's eyes flickered when he heard this, as if he was considering Bai Zichao's words.
