Chapter 287: This is to sell my daughter
"The happy event I came to tell you today is the girl from the Li Guoguo family in our Li Family Village, because this girl is from the same village as me, so I am also a little familiar with that girl.
I don't coax the old sister-in-law, this girl is 18 years old, she is not ugly, but she is a little dark and thin, mainly at home and is not favored, and often has to follow the men of the family to work in the fields.
She is also a capable person at home, she can do all the work inside and outside the home, she is a diligent child, the only bad thing is that her family is very poor, this girl and her four brothers have not married a wife, so their family wants this bride price is a bit much, Li Guoguo's family wants a bride price of eight taels of silver. ”
After Mrs. Li finished eating the meat bun in her hand, she immediately said that she herself felt that the matchmaker she protected this time was a little unspeakable, the people in the village, who didn't have a daughter, was Li Stubborn's daughter so valuable?
Li stubborn donkey's family opened their mouths to ask for so many bride prices, if it weren't for the pity of his little girl, Mrs. Li would not have accepted this job at all, so she gave 20 copper plates to say that the matchmaker had to go so far.
"Oh, their family also said that if her daughter can get married, it will be your family, and what will happen to their family in the future? ”
Mrs. Li talked about the family's attitude towards this marriage again, and when she heard it, that Li Guoguo was really selling her daughter.
"In our countryside, we want so much bride price money, in these ten miles and eight villages, I haven't heard of it, how much money do their families think our family has?
The old man Liu in the town married his daughter-in-law, and I heard that he would give a bride price of five taels of silver at most, and their family regarded my family as a big landlord's family.
My family only has 12 acres of land, and when my son gets married, our old couple can give him six acres of land, as for whether he can get a few more acres of land, it still depends on his own ability.
What you said later, you can see that the family is a little ruthless, their family is going to sell their daughter, the girl is a good girl when you hear you, the family is not very good, and you want so much bride price, I can't give you a letter now, let me think about it for two days and then contact you. ”
Zhang Xiaoxue's grandmother heard that the girl said by Mrs. Li was capable, and she still felt that she was willing, and it didn't matter if the family was poor, but this lion opened his mouth to ask for eight taels of silver, which made her a little unacceptable.
I just think that the family is too greedy, let alone marrying a daughter, even if you sell your daughter, it's not worth so much money, not to mention that the daughter of that family is not a fairy-like person.
Obviously, there are four sons in the family, all of whom have reached the age of marriage, and each of them is a strong laborer, but he still has to toss a girl's family as a male laborer, and this parent is really ruthless.
I heard what Mrs. Li said later, it turned out that the family was really planning to sell their daughter, and it had nothing to do with that family when they got married, which is okay, but it will be less troublesome in the future.
But I don't know if the girl that Mrs. Li said is really good or fake, she has to find someone to inquire again to rest assured, if that girl is really good, even if she spends so much money, she can always choose a good daughter-in-law for her son, this is related to her son's next life, but she can't be sloppy.
"Old sister-in-law, the matchmaker I'm talking about today is a widow, she is twenty-six years old this year, the same age as your Zhenhu, and she has two sons, one is nine years old and the other is six years old.
She heard that your third son is also a capable person, although her legs and feet are a little bad, she doesn't dislike it, so she found me to make peace, sister-in-law, if you want, also find a time for the two to see each other. ”
Although Mrs. Zhang was preempted by Mrs. Li just now, she was not in a hurry, because she didn't have much hope for the matchmaker she protected this time, and she just ran this trip just to say that the matchmaker was making money, and seeing that the matchmaker she said had come to an end, she said the matchmaker she wanted to protect.
"And divorced from a woman who has no children to drag down, I don't want my son to marry, let alone this widow with two children, I won't think about it at all, although my son has a little problem with his legs and feet, it is not very serious, and he does not delay his work, I don't want my son to raise a son for others in vain. ”
When Zhang Xiaoxue's grandmother heard that she was a widow with two children, she directly refused, without even thinking about it.
"The old sister-in-law wants to choose a big girl for Zhenhu, then I will know, and when I meet a suitable one in the future, I will come to your house to say that it is good." ”
Mrs. Zhang was not annoyed when she heard that Grandma Zhang Xiaoxue simply refused, knowing that people wanted to choose a big girl for her son, she thought that if someone was selected in the future, she could come back to be a secondary matchmaker.
What's more, she has a fourth son in her family, this young man is now a very popular candidate for son-in-law in this village, and she believes that she will come to the door for this young man's family affairs in a short time.
Zhang Xiaoxue's third uncle Zhang Zhenhu is twenty-six years old, and he is not too young here, other people's children can play soy sauce, he has not said his daughter-in-law in the past two years because of his bad legs and feet.
Originally, most of the matchmakers from the family came to Zhang Xiaoxue's fourth uncle Zhang Zhenhai, but he felt that the third brother had not married a daughter-in-law, and he couldn't be in a hurry as a small one, so as to save the third brother from feeling uncomfortable.
So when the matchmaker came to say that he was married, he said to his parents that after talking about the third brother's family affairs first, he would consider his own, and if there was a suitable family, it would be better to follow his third brother first, and wait for the third brother's marriage to be resolved, and then it would not be too late to talk about him, anyway, he was still young, so there was no need to worry.
Zhang Zhenhai is not very old, only 18 years old this year, just at the age of talking about his daughter-in-law, these days the family is living a thriving life because of Zhang Xiaoxue's niece, and he himself is also a very capable young man, naturally many people look at it.
I fell in love with Zhang Zhenhai's family, and when I heard his family say that they would first solve the family affairs of the third son in the family, they took a break for a while, so the remaining matchmakers were all running for Zhang Xiaoxue's third uncle Zhang Zhenhu.
It's just that Zhang Xiaoxue's third uncle Zhang Zhenhu has bad legs and feet after all, and he can't do real heavy physical work, so he chose his family, not because the family is too poor to produce any dowry, but also wants to earn more bride price money for his son to marry a daughter-in-law, that is, some divorced women, and some widows with children.
