The old man watched as the sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters of the family all left. There were only two people left in the room, he and his wife, but he felt that it was too quiet all of a sudden, and he was a little unaccustomed.

"Old woman, how much silver did you give her?" The old man sat in the room smoking a cigarette warmly, and glanced at Zhou, and his eyes seemed to have a taste of hatred for iron and steel.

Zhou was holding the pumpkin seeds and knocking his teeth when he heard the old man's voice. She paused. Didn't look up at people either.

"How many can there be. Not much. She didn't dare to say five taels. Otherwise, the old man would definitely scold her.

"Hmph. What kind of personality do you have, old woman? I don't know yet. Not much, you can fool me. The girl is becoming more and more unpresentable, listen to her reputation, and be powerful in the Xia family. You don't try to persuade either. It's a shame. "The old man has a bottom in his heart, and he doesn't believe Zhou's words at all. However, he did not continue to ask. After all, the old woman may take a little too much, but it will definitely not be too outrageous.

Just thinking of what this girl did, he was not happy, although he loved his daughter. But it's been almost ten years since I got married. The reputation is getting worse and worse, and it has even affected my own family. And he was not happy.

"You old woman, let's have a snack too. Now several grandchildren are in school. The master said that the grandchildren were very hard-working. When the time comes, if you really want to test your fame, your reputation is very important. If only there was a notorious aunt then. Don't blame the old man, I ruthlessly cut ties with her. The old man warned and said that he would not tell his daughter these things directly, otherwise he would have talked about them long ago when Zhou Yanqing was there.

When Zhou heard that it would affect several grandsons to take the meritorious examination, he instantly became nervous. The girl is compared to the grandson who is famous. Obviously, the grandson is definitely more important.

"All right, old man. I'll go to my daughter's another day. Talk to her. ”

"Well, tell her well. After the New Year, the family will set up a soy sauce workshop at that time. Don't let her notoriety get in the way. ”

"I know, old man. You can rest assured. Girls are not stupid. ”

The old man nodded when he heard this, indicating that he was a little relieved. Continue smoking. The room was quiet, occasionally talking to Zhou, and the old husband and wife got along quietly. But there's a different atmosphere. The old man even told the Zhou family that some things at home were complicated. Zhou listened attentively. Although Zhou called his daughter-in-law an evil mother-in-law, even most of the time, she was quite unreasonable and was the master of this family. The old man listened to her too. However, the old man is really serious. She's still measured.

Even home, early this morning, the house and the house were busy.

Lian borrowed silver from the Zhou family before the Chinese New Year, and he had already engaged his son's marriage. I'm waiting for the next year to get married and have a wedding.

Lian Duo deliberately wore her most beautiful clothes today. It is a pink cotton jacket with a silver hairpin on its head. The hair is tied with ribbons, but it looks like a budding flower bone. The whole person is spiritual. After the New Year, Lian Duo was fourteen years old. Such a big girl should also be engaged. Lian saw his daughter's beautiful little appearance today, and nodded with satisfaction. Thinking that my daughter is not young, it seems that this year should be decided. She has to pick and choose, her beautiful daughter must marry a good family. In the future, a good life will not be possible for the poor family. His daughter is not ugly, but she is beautiful, and she can choose a satisfactory son-in-law.
