Chapter Twenty-Three: Repentance
Su Congjun's He family is a family in Changxiu Village, which is far away from Luoshui Village, and the children of the two families have only met twice under the guidance of the matchmaker, so they have roughly settled on a family affair.
At this time, He Qinqin's mother was trying to persuade her, "Girl, I said it all, the Zhang family has only one child, so won't everything in the future be Zhang Jian's?" Look at the Su family, three people, four children, how many things can be shared? Besides, the Zhang family can say, give 80 yuan as a bride price, and you will be blessed if you marry it. ”
Originally, I thought that the conditions of the Su family were not bad, but compared with the Zhang family, it was far worse!
"Mother, don't say it, I only like to be a military brother." He Qinqin looked stubborn.
"Then what's so good about Su Congjun? Just a farmer, what do you want him to do? He Shi saw that his persuasion for a long time had no effect at all, and he couldn't help but be angry.
"I'm just trying to be a soldier brother!"
"Just two faces, how much affection can you have?" He gritted his teeth, "I don't care, anyway, on the Zhang family's side, I agreed." ”
"What?" He Qinqin looked at her mother in disbelief, "You sold me for eighty yuan?" ”
He was furious, "What do you mean by selling? You were born to me, can't I be the master of your marriage? ”
"It's the freedom to marry now!" He Qinqin argued with her, "I won't marry anyway!" Marry yourself! ”
"Bullshit Marriage Freedom!" He snorted, "I'm your mother, you have to marry if you don't marry!" ”
After speaking, she went out directly, locked the door, and let He Qinqin cry inside.
He sat at the door, thinking calmly about how to discuss the marriage with the Zhang family, and saw the matchmaker Mrs. Zhang coming with a happy face.
"Oh, Aunt He, why are you sitting at the door? What about me? ”
He smiled reluctantly, "Aunt Zhang, are you here?" ”
"Didn't I come here for the Su family? Hurry up Ming'er, as long as there is no problem on your side, their family will come to the door. "Another marriage is about to be promoted, and Mrs. Zhang is obviously in a good mood.
These two families had intentions before, and now she is here, just a formality.
The Su family proposed? He was stunned, she hadn't had time to refuse the Su family, why did she come to the door to propose her relatives?
"No, Aunt Zhang, why didn't you inform me in advance?"
"Didn't I say it?" Mrs. Zhang looked at her strangely, she knew countless people, her eyes were very poisonous, and she quickly noticed He's hesitation, and her face was a little ugly, "I said, Aunt He, you don't want to regret it, right?" You've got it done. ”
"Isn't that just lip service? It can't be true. He laughed dryly, she confiscated the bride price of the Su family, and the marriage mentioned verbally was nothing.
Mrs. Zhang squinted at her, "Tell me honestly, is there another family to propose?" If you don't tell me, I can find out, and don't blame me for not giving you face when the time comes. ”
"That's it...... Zhang's family in the east of the village. "Knowing that he can't hide it from Mrs. Zhang, He can only tell the truth.
"Zhang's family in the east of the village?" Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief, "You're going to push the qin into the fire pit!" ”
Who in Xiaoyuan Village doesn't know that the son of the Zhang family is half-paralyzed, if Qinqin marries, what good life can he have?
"What do you mean by pushing into a fire pit?" He's face sank, "The conditions of the Zhang family are so good, our Qinqin used to be blessed, the Su family can't be compared, the bride price of the family is eighty yuan, can the Su family afford it?" ”
"Happiness?" Mrs. Zhang sneered, "You also have to have that blessing to enjoy." ”
She listened to He's dislike of the Su family in his words, and was a little strange, so she asked, "Haven't you heard about what happened in Luoshui Village recently?" ”
"What?" He Shi was a little impatient, she cared about what happened in Luoshui Village.
Seeing her expression, Mrs. Zhang swallowed the words that she was about to speak, and she smiled intriguingly, "It's nothing." ”
"This family business, since you don't want to get married, I will refuse the Su family, I just hope you don't regret it in the future."
The Su family in Luoshu Village saved the children of the big man, received commendations, and was named in the town mayor and county magistrate, such a big thing, the He family, who wanted to become in-laws, didn't know, it can be seen that they didn't care about the Su family.
Anyway, she doesn't have much to do.
Although He felt a little wrong in his heart, he still said categorically: "We can't regret it!" ”
"That's fine." Mrs. Zhang looked at her with the eyes of a fool, and after listening to He's words, she no longer persuaded her, "Then I will go to Luoshui Village and refuse this matter with the Su family." ”
"I'm sorry for you, Aunt Zhang." As soon as Mrs. Zhang agreed, a smile appeared on He's face again, Mrs. Zhang in these ten miles and eight towns is famous for being a matchmaker, she doesn't dare to offend people, otherwise she will be affected by their He family if she arranges two sentences casually outside.
He Shi thought about it, trotted to the chicken coop and touched two eggs, and handed them to Mrs. Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, you take this to eat, you worked hard to run at that time." ”
"I can't afford these two eggs." Mrs. Zhang snorted angrily, but she promised to give her five yuan for this trip to the Su family, and now that the five yuan is in the soup, she naturally has no good face for the He family.
"Alright, I'm leaving." Mrs. Zhang turned around and left.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun was still high, she hurried back to Luoshui Village, and when she arrived at the Su family, she was already tired and panting, and the Su family was waiting for her news.
Seeing this, Wu Guixiang hurriedly poured her a glass of water, and when she saw that Mrs. Zhang finally came out of breath, she hurriedly asked.
"He, Aunt Zhang, what does the He family say?"
Su Aiguo's family of three also looked at her expectantly, Su Qingyun heard the movement, came out of the room, and moved a small bench to listen together.
Seeing the expectation on the faces of the Su family, Mrs. Zhang felt that the He family had no faith in their words and was not doing human business.
She snorted coldly, "The He family refused." ”
"What?"
The whole family was shocked, Su Congjun reacted the most, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "How could you refuse?" I'm ...... with Qinqin."
"It's not the girl's business." Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and said, "What the hell is Qinqin, you probably have a little bit in your hearts, the Zhang family in the east of their Xiaoyuan Village paid a bride price of eighty yuan in order to marry Qinqin!" ”
"As soon as Qinqin and her mother heard it, she agreed in one mouthful, no, she regretted it as soon as I went, saying that it was just a verbal talk before, and I couldn't count it."
Eighty?! The Su family was dumbfounded, these days, not many families in the city can afford such a high bride price when they get married, right?
"Isn't the son of the Zhang family a little ......" Wu Guixiang is old, she has seen a lot, and she quickly sensed that something was wrong.
With such a high bride price, she wouldn't believe it if there was nothing wrong with this family.
