Thinking that he would live like this for the rest of his life, Mingshan couldn't be more depressed and uncomfortable.

After Wen Jin heard what Baoshan said, he thought about it for a day and felt that it was better to persuade Mingshan.

"Uncle Wang, doesn't you think you can't read? Then why don't you learn? ”

"How old am I?!" Mingshan was frustrated with annoyance.

"How old is that? It's never too late to learn. The sage said, 'It is okay to die at night', which means that even if you should die at night, you must understand the truth in the morning. ”

"What do I compare to a saint?" Mingshan is still depressed.

Wen Jin didn't expect Mingshan to be such a person, he was stunned, and said unhappily: "I didn't expect you to be so unmotivated, forget it, I won't persuade you in the future, just go as you like." He left him to chase after Baoshan.

Mingshan was even more uncomfortable, and for several days, he didn't talk to people much.

Wen Han couldn't look at it, selling fish last winter, Mingshan helped a lot, especially teaching him how to observe words and feelings, how to deal with those customers who were difficult to dismiss, he was very grateful, this time, he wanted to repay Mingshan.

"Uncle Mingshan, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts, isn't it just simple bookkeeping? Hundreds of words, plus a little counting, have been learned in the winter, you can't afford this little effort? ”

"How many months can you learn? How can I be so smart. ”

"Try it to find out? If you don't try, you'll really go around in circles year after year in your life. ”

Lin Shan interjected: "That's it, Tie Shan still dares to think about Li Xiucai's daughter." ”

"Go and go, don't see how old the two talented babies are, and you don't have a door on your lips."

"What can't be said? It's time for Wen Han to get married. ”

Wen Han blushed and took a sip of "puff", pulling Wen Jin away.

Mingshan listened to it, at that time, Tieshan told his family that he had fallen in love with Li Xiucai's daughter in Xianglan Town, and no one in the whole family was optimistic about this matter.

But things are so incredible, just two months ago, Li Xiucai agreed to the Wang family's proposal, and next spring, Li Lanzhen, the number one good girl in Xianglan Town, will marry into the Wang family.

The matter of Wang Tieshan's withdrawal from his relatives spread in Linjin Town, and even Wen Jin heard some of them in Shanwo. He decided to marry at the age of sixteen, and his family was ready to marry at the age of eighteen, but his father-in-law Zhang Congwa was a greedy ghost who saw money, and he asked for a bride price of ten taels of silver, which made the second master of the Wang family so angry that he jumped to his feet.

According to the customs of Shanyang County, when they get engaged, the two parents' families negotiate all the bride price through a matchmaker, and the man sends it over on time and on time according to the regulations.

Zhang Congwa saw that the Wang family's engagement and exchange ceremony were all brought over, thinking that his lion opened his mouth, and the man did not admit it, so he threatened to withdraw from his relatives.

Most people, in order to keep the gifts sent in front of them and not waste the cost of the treat, almost all pinched their noses and recognized them, and had to agree to the woman's request to increase the bride price.

Zhang Congwa's wishful thinking is wrong, the Wang family from top to bottom, is a resolute and benevolent character, if the woman is not picky, and is tolerant of this side in every way, they hate to take out their hearts to you, and if anyone dares to calculate them, the people of the Wang family will definitely let you not take advantage of it.

The second master of the Wang family picked up Zhang Congwa's proposal and put it down gently, neither agreeing nor refusing, and came to a procrastination trick. Anyway, the boy is two years older, so he doesn't have to worry about finding a daughter-in-law, and the girl misses a little, but it's troublesome.

Zhang Congwa quickly saw through the in-laws' plan, and last summer, she proposed to withdraw from her relatives through a matchmaker.

The second master of the Wang family was really angry at that time, and he discussed with his son: "If he is really pinched by the Zhang family, my father will feel uncomfortable, but he really quit his family, what if my son can't find a good daughter-in-law?" Daddy was so embarrassed. ”

"Daddy!" Tie Shan made shoes at that time, although he already had eyebrows and earned a little money, which made him see the hope of working hard, not to mention, the Ning bending in his temperament also made him unbearable such a father-in-law.

I only heard him say categorically: "Tieshan is a bachelor for a lifetime, and he will not be wronged to marry such a daughter-in-law." If the Zhang family wants to withdraw from their relatives, just retreat. ”

Zhang Congwa didn't expect that the Wang family just tried their best to redeem it, and asked the matchmaker to say good things back and forth, but they didn't agree to their request to increase the bride price, just now, there is a small landlord Lei Cheng in Sifeng Village, and his wife died after three years of marriage, leaving only a two-year-old daughter.

The matchmaker was a talker, and she asked Lei Cheng: "There is a small furnace craftsman Zhang Congwa in Xianglan Town, his daughter can be Peugeot, if such a woman marries, how much dowry are you willing to pay?" ”

In this era, both men and women pay special attention to whether to marry a wife or continue the string, Lei Cheng felt that such a good girl could not be willing to marry him,—— and he would be a stepmother when he entered the door, so he said casually: "Ten taels of silver, six clothes with a silver head, and a pair of silver heads." The father-in-law has a leather hat, the mother-in-law has a pair of silver bracelets, and one person is dressed in silk clothes. ”

Zhang Congwa listened to the words sent back by the matchmaker, and was stunned, which was twice as much as the bride price given by the Wang family. He was obsessed with money, so he immediately asked the matchmaker to go to Linjin Town and quit the Wang family.

Second Master Wang was very sad in his heart, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but when it really came to an end, he still felt a little regretful.

Tie Shan instead persuaded his father: "If you retreat, you will retreat." Maybe it's a good thing. It turned out that he had a plan in his heart, the daughter of the Zhang family just looked good, but the handiwork was not good, and he made a forehead wipe for his mother, and the embroidery, his mother did not dare to take it out and wear it, he hoped to meet a woman with ingenuity and wisdom.

Just when the matchmaker shuttled back and forth, the two families quarreled over the gifts given in front, and the matter of withdrawing from the family dragged on and dragged on, time passed day by day, Wang Tieshan's leather boots suddenly became popular, and then, Wang Jishan brought back the news that a leather coat was given ten taels of silver.

Second Master Wang regretted it a little, he knew that this was the case, what if he gave the other party some money? After all, it is not glorious for the son to be dismissed. But Zhang Congwa didn't know about the change in the Wang family, on the one hand, she didn't want to return the bride price, and on the other hand, she was anxious to withdraw from her family, and promised her daughter to Lei Cheng to get greater benefits. At this moment, someone introduced a little widow to Lei Cheng, Chong Xi entered the door, had no children, was widowed for two years, and not long ago let his mother's family take him back, the little widow was also handsome, Zhang Congwa was in a hurry, and all the things of the Wang family were withdrawn, and he quickly asked people to introduce his daughter to Lei Cheng.
