On the way back, Fang Changwen said, "Jianghe, have you thought about it, we have ten villages and eight stores, but I haven't heard of a girl who went out to ask for a dowry of thirty taels, even if the Bai family is in trouble, thirty taels of silver is too much, it is really unnecessary." ”

"It's really hard to say that the Cheng family is pro, but let's just take ten taels, and say that there are some defects, so it's not difficult, so why bother?"

In the eyes of the two brothers, what Jiang He said was really incomprehensible, thirty taels of silver, how many years can the Zhuang family spend it? They haven't built their houses yet, and they need money everywhere, which really shouldn't be the case.

Jiang He said, "I don't know where thirty taels is too high, even if it is given separately, this money is a lot, but the Cheng family likes it, he just likes lotus fragrance, I can't do it, this kid has a bad brain, he can do whatever he wants from childhood to adulthood, the cocoon scar on his shoulder is not thinner than mine, he doesn't want anything, he never asks for it, only this time, so insist, I am his father, where can I refuse?" ”

"Hexiang is not a bad one, the dowry is higher, as long as she is good to the Cheng family, what I do is worth it, it is rare to have something to make the Cheng family happy, this time if I really tell him about a girl from a few people's families, maybe I won't be able to buy him a smile if I have money in the future."

As soon as he said that, the brothers of the Fang family also understood his hard work, and nodded at this time, Fang Changcai patted him on the shoulder, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, we will also help, you are right, it is not easy for the child of the Cheng family, it is rare to have something to make him happy, let's make him happy together." ”

Jiang He's mind he understands better than Fang Changwen, because he also has a son who is not an ordinary person, Qingsheng was born deaf and dumb, if one day he sees a girl, people ask for thirty taels of silver, he will work hard to earn it, even if it is fifty taels, he will also earn it, he wants to make his son happy, pity the hearts of parents in the world.

A few people returned to Fang's house, and Wen asked, "How is it?" The Jiang family still refuses to see each other today, right? ”

Fang Changwen said, "Mother, if you want her to come out, she will definitely not come out, the three of us smashed the Jiang family's yard, dragged the Li family to the courtyard and beat her, which is considered to be a relief." ”

Wen laughed, "Okay, this is good, I will be relieved when I listen to it, but it is still not enough, that woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but I am afraid that she still does not have a long memory." ”

Fang Changcai said, "It doesn't matter if she has a long memory, anyway, this time she is angry, she dares to come nonsense in the future, so that she can't even find the door, really there is no one in our family." ”

Even if this matter has passed like this, the trouble in front of him is still unsolved, Jiang Cheng's family has to spend money to marry, and Jiang Jingxue has not yet settled.

There are also several men and women of appropriate age in Mochiba this year, and since the second half of last year, there have been people in the family who have been working on family affairs, and in February, there are two more girls who have decided to have family affairs, and now there are not yet settlers, that is, two brothers and sisters of the Jiang family, and one person, Hu Shangxuan.

It was already the eighth day of the second lunar month, and all the people in the village who should be married had been decided, and the Hu family did not move at all, and there were many matchmakers who came to propose marriage, but they all failed, and the Hu family did not agree.

This is not surprising, it has always been like this, Hu Shangxuan has been coming to the door since he was fifteen years old, because the Hu family has more than ten acres of land, and Hu Shangxuan is another talent, so he doesn't have to worry about family affairs.

In the past few years, there have been more than a dozen families who have moved their minds, and there is no shortage of girls with good family backgrounds, but the Hu family has refused, and everyone knows that Hu Xiucai wants to find a literate daughter-in-law.

How can ordinary girls be literate, even if they are beautiful, they may not be literate, the Hu family's request is too embarrassing, so although Hu Shangxuan is very good, there are many people who come to propose marriage, but in the end they can't succeed.

This year is different, it's the last minute, if you still don't change the rules, will you really be put in prison?

Many people in the village were worried about him, but Hu Shangxuan himself seemed to be a nobody, still going to the fields to farm and go up to the mountains to hunt, as if he didn't know that he was eighteen years old this year.

The Fang family didn't have time to worry about Hu Shangxuan, they were busy giving Jiang Jingxue Zhang Luo's relatives, the previous matchmaker Chen was definitely unusable, and they found a Song matchmaker to show Jiang Jingxue their relatives.

It's not been long, there hasn't been any movement at all, Wen went directly to Song Matchmaker's house to find her, and after coming back, the whole person was depressed.

Fang Chengdong said, "What's the matter, there's still no news?" ”

Wen sighed, "It's that damn mother-in-law, who has ruined Xue'er's reputation, and Song Matchmaker has also tried her best, it's really hard to find, at this time, many people are busy discussing relatives, Xue'er's reputation is not good, it's really a little embarrassing." ”

Liu said, "Why don't you find a matchmaker from afar, and talk about a farther one?" ”

Wen shook his head, "This matter is originally a rumor, and it is not true, looking for relatives from afar, and this matter will spread out in the future, and the in-laws will deliberately hide it for us, which is not good for Xue'er, this in-law is to let Xue'er live a stable life, not to deal with the present, or not to rush to the doctor." ”

Everyone was silent, and Wen said, "There is even more bad news, this year's tax is ahead of schedule, there is a girl eighty miles away from us, because her appearance is too ugly, she is eighteen years old and has not yet decided to marry, the first two years were given taxes, this year I was really arrested, and I was sent to the stone factory to make stones and do coolies." ”

Hearing this, the whole family couldn't calm down, Jiang He hurriedly said, "Mother, is this something said by Song Matchmaker?" ”

Wen nodded, "Yes, these matchmakers know each other, and it is not difficult to know these things, and several of them have been arrested, and I estimate that it will not be long before they come to us." ”

Jiang Jingxue was also in the house at this time, Wen took her hand and asked her to sit beside her, "Song matchmaker said that she will continue to search, but she can't say whether it can be done or not, Song matchmaker means that if we have a suitable one, we will first make a marriage, it is better than being sent to be a coolie, Xue'er, you can think about this matter yourself, it is not difficult to really tell you about family affairs, but it is not so wishful, this is a lifelong matter of the daughter's family, and you have to figure it out." ”

Jiang Jingxue understood what she meant, if she really said that she was married, how could she not say it, it was quite easy to marry herself.

There are many people who are missing arms and legs, and they are blind and deaf, it depends on whether you are willing or not.

Whether to find an unsatisfactory person to accompany her for a lifetime, or choose to be a coolie, the family can't be the master for her, so she has to decide for herself.
