Chapter 714: Raising the Head and Marrying a Daughter-in-law Second Change
Song Hongguo's words undoubtedly made Huo Minglou feel comfortable listening to it, between lovers, trust is sometimes more important and rare than feelings.
However, he didn't take advantage of the situation, "Let's let Xiaozhi and Xiaoyuan stay at home, just so I will accompany them more, don't you have to renovate the table lamp, and you can also teach them by the way."
When the brothers heard this, they responded eagerly.
The knowledge in the school has already been mastered by the two children, and a few days off will not delay anything at all, besides, there are more things to learn from Huo Minglou.
The grandfathers looked at her in unison.
What can Song Hongguo say? Naturally, it should be lowered.
At noon, Song Hongguo boiled potato flour for the servants to eat, adding her own ham, dried tofu, as well as vegetables, mushrooms, and most importantly, Lingquan water, the wonderful taste is self-evident, and it easily conquered the appetite of Huo Minglou and the two children.
After the meal, Huo Minglou sat on the edge of the bed and told the two children a story, Song Hongguo sat on the chair and listened while knitting a sweater, the atmosphere was warm, but I didn't expect Li Qingxiu to come to the door.
After a few words of greeting, Song Hongguo saw that she had something to say, and it was obviously inconvenient to guard Huo Minglou and the child, so she went downstairs with her, found a leeward place, and asked directly, "Sister, what's the matter?"
Li Qingxiu hesitated, looking a little embarrassed, "Hongguo, that, is there a way for you to get a sewing ticket?" Or a watch ticket......
When Song Hongguo heard this, he was not surprised at all, "What do you want these two kinds of tickets for? Didn't you carry a watch? As for the sewing machine, the Wu family doesn't have it?"
Li Qingxiu shook her head, "It's not that I want to use it, it's Tiantian's eldest brother, isn't this going to get married, the woman wants a bride price, three turns and one ring, and seventy-two legs, furniture or something has been prepared for a long time, and I have also managed to buy a radio and a bicycle, and now I need a watch and a sewing machine......
Song Hongguo frowned, "The other party asked for such a high bride price, and the Wu family agreed?"
At present, there are not many people who can take out these large items, and Wu Furong's family has no background, and he has the current position, all of which are made by himself, where can he buy such a thick dowry?
Besides, even if you have that strength, it's not suitable to show off in a high-profile manner right now.
Li Qingxiu smiled bitterly, "What can I do if I don't agree? That's what the woman asked, Brother Tian Tian likes the woman, so don't you have to let others shout the price casually?"
"What about you and your eldest brother-in-law?"
"I'm just a stepmother, how can I be the master of Brother Tiantian? As for your brother-in-law...... He is willing, and if he marries his eldest son, he naturally has to show sincerity."
Song Hongguo didn't believe that the Wu family was willing to be the leader of this kind of injustice.
Under the pressure of her gaze, Li Qingxiu said helplessly, "The woman's family is high, and the bride price here is less, and people look down on it, so for the sake of the dignity of the two families, this can only be done."
Song Hongguo asked curiously, "What is the identity of the woman?"
Li Qingxiu said with a complicated expression, "The youngest daughter of our city's leader."
Song Hongguo was really surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Wu Furong's eldest son to have this ability, he could climb such a high family business, he must have something extraordinary, right?
She didn't ask, but there was something in her eyes.
Li Qingxiu explained vaguely, "Wu Zhuo is very good at talking and doing things, and his temperament is more pleasing, he is with him, and he is a classmate, and he gets the moon first near the water......
Song Hongguo is suddenly good at sweet words, and it is not surprising that he can coax a little girl to get married, but "Does he not respect you enough? It's not good for Tiantian?"
Li Qingxiu subconsciously denied it, "No, he is very good to me and Tiantian, don't listen to the gossip of others, they don't know the truth."
Song Hongguo pulled the corners of his mouth, "If he is really good to you and respects you as a stepmother, he won't make you so embarrassed and ask for tickets everywhere for him, this is his own wedding, and he wants to slap his face and become fat, then he will find a way to go by himself, no matter how bad it is, he still has a father, a grandmother, and an aunt, why should he call you a stepmother?"
"Hongguo, you can't say that, since I married into the Wu family, I bear the name of his stepmother
, then it is my responsibility to educate him and operate for him, I don't care if I don't ask, it's a dereliction of duty, just like you, can you not plan for Xiaozhi and Xiaoyuan? They are in need, and you will turn a blind eye?"
Song Hongguo couldn't help sneering when she heard this, "As a mother, I do have the responsibility of educating them, and I should take care of them, but it is all within my ability, I will never slap the fat man in the face to treat them well, and they will not demand me so much."
Li Qingxiu's face changed, and she still explained with difficulty, "It's not his request, it's the woman's conditions, and he can't help it, he just has to suffer some difficulties when he looks up and marries his wife, and in the future, it will be fine, and I will be embarrassed this time, and when they get married, there will be nothing to do with me......
Song Hongguo scoffed, "Do you think it's possible?"
Li Qingxiu pursed her lips, "Possibly, Hongguo, I know it in my heart, and I won't really let them do whatever they want, it's just that marriage is a big deal, once in a lifetime, it involves the faces of the two families, I can't care, I can only do my best to do it well, I won't pay so hard in the future."
She's soft-hearted and cowardly, and she's not really stupid.
Song Hongguo rubbed her brows helplessly, "Okay, you are willing to make up for others like this, I have nothing to say, but, who paid for such a heavy bride price?" I won't be able to squeeze you, will I?"
Li Qingxiu hurriedly said, "No, how can I have so much money? I won't tell you the truth, over the years, a lot of the money I have earned has been subsidized to my mother's family, and your brother-in-law also knows it, but he didn't stop it, to be honest, I am a little bit of a loss, so this time Wu Zhuo got married, I have to do my best no matter what, and I should pay off the debt."
Hearing this, Song Hongguo's heart was not much more comfortable, "Eldest sister, sugarcane is not sweet at both ends, and candles can't be burned at both ends, don't you think about yourself, don't you feel sorry for Tiantian?"
Li Qingxiu's eyes turned red all of a sudden, "I know, Tiantian followed me and was wronged, but what can I do? I can't ignore either side, I ......."
She choked up and couldn't say any more, and with trembling hands she took a handkerchief out of her pocket and pressed it hard against her eyelids.
Song Hongguo didn't come up to comfort her, and when she calmed down, she sighed, "You know how rare those two kinds of tickets are, I'll try to help you ask, if not, don't blame me."
"No, if you are willing to help, my sister will accept your affection, thank you, Hongguo ......" Li Qingxiu squeezed out a smile, "That sister is waiting for your news."
Song Hongguo said "um" and asked again, "When will Wu Zhuo get married?"
Li Qingxiu said, "After the things are purchased, the specific wedding date will be set."
Song Hongguo, "......"
What is this called?
