Chapter 819 Emergency Remedial Tasks (16)(2/2)
These days, when girls get married, most of them leave the bride price at their parents’ home.
People who feel sorry for the girl will give her some dowry.
He doesn't take his daughter seriously, he doesn't even give her new clothes, and just lets her go out.
The Qiu family is not a family that loves their daughter very much, but they don't abuse her too much.
The key point is that Grandma Qiu is the head of the family, and even their biological father and mother cannot touch the betrothal gifts of the grandchildren.
But one level away, Grandma Qiu's "love" would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Grandma Qiu had already made up her mind to keep all the betrothal gifts given by the Huo family and save them to find a wife for her youngest son.
The fabrics and other greeting gifts given by the Huo family can be used as dowry for the granddaughter to take away.
Now, things have changed and Qiu Xiaoxue took the opportunity to speak. Grandma Qiu could only endure the pain and vomit out half of the bride price.
Grandma Qiu thought, a hundred yuan dowry is already a lot, Qiu Xiaoxue should be content!
Qiu Xiaoxue did not answer the question and continued: "In addition to reputation, being a stepmother is really not a good thing."
"I'd rather take care of the family, but it's difficult for my stepmother. I, I haven't given birth to a child yet—"
Grandma Qiu's face turned completely gloomy.
What a greedy girl.
They didn't say they wouldn't marry, they just kept finding fault with her.
Doesn't this show that he is not satisfied with the Qiu family's concessions and wants to continue to make money and things from his parents' family?
"Knowing that it's not easy to be a stepmother, the Huo family gave you a gift of two hundred yuan, and also prepared fabrics for four seasons' clothing for you."
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll let you take these away!"
Grandma Qiu seemed to have had a piece of her flesh taken away from her, with "heartache" written on every mark on her face.
"...Mom, the Huo family will be here later. Can I talk to Brother Yuanzheng alone?"
Qiu Xiaoxue glanced at Grandma Qiu's expression and knew that this was the final bottom line.
If the conditions were raised again, the old lady would probably go berserk on the spot!
No matter, the goal has been achieved anyway, Qiu Xiaoxue is too lazy to waste any more words.
"OK!"
It just so happened that Grandma Qiu also needed to talk to Mother Huo.
After getting engaged, if you change the bride to someone else, you will definitely have to turn the table over on the spot.
The Huo family is different.
Although on the surface, the Qiu family is superior to the Huo family.
But in fact, the Huo family is more eager to find a new daughter-in-law with a bright and upright daughter-in-law.
After all, the former daughter-in-law caused a lot of trouble for the Huo family, and Mr. Huo was almost implicated.
"Hmph! Our Qiu family has indeed taken advantage of the Huo family, but this time, the Huo family also wants to take advantage of it."
Grandpa Qiu doesn't ask many questions, but he has good vision and knowledge. He is also very good at asking questions and digging into camps.
Otherwise, when there were so many poor peasant households in the village, the army would not have chosen the Qiu family to place the wounded.
Grandpa Qiu may not be able to know the truth about the Huo family's situation, but just seeing the Huo family taking the initiative to discuss marriage with the Qiu family, Grandpa Qiu can guess something.
In the past, Grandpa Qiu thought that even if the Huo family deliberately took advantage of it, the Qiu family would still benefit.
There are some things that you don’t need to worry about too much.
But now that someone is about to be replaced, the Qiu family doesn't want to feel guilty, so they can only take the initiative and take the initiative.
So, a small jeep drove into Qiujiaping.
Grandpa Qiu and Grandma Qiu were waiting at the entrance of the village to greet them.
"Xiaoxue, take Yuanzheng around!"
Grandma Qiu pulled Qiu Xiaoxue out from behind and made a pile of her and Huo Yuanzheng.
Mother Huo got out of the car reservedly, carrying her airs seriously. When she heard the name "Xiaoxue", her face suddenly darkened.
What's the meaning?
Didn't you say you wanted a sister? Why did you suddenly become a sister?
Even the matchmaker who was invited to go through the motions was a little confused: Did I remember it wrong? The bride-to-be's name is not Gu Yu, but Xiaoxue?
Grandma Qiu quickly pulled Mother Huo aside and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Mother Huo:......
She could barely maintain the dignity of a noble lady!
What a Qiu family, what do they think of the Huo family?
If the elder sister doesn’t want to be someone’s stepmother, why should the younger sister take over?
Do they really think that the Huo family will not marry a girl from the Qiu family?
The anger was soaring that Huo's mother almost had a falling out with the Qiu family on the spot.
However, reason still stopped Mother Huo in time.
The Huo family does not have to be the Qiu family.
But for now, the Qiu family is the best choice.
Another thing is that when the Qiu family was selected, Huo's mother also considered Qiu Xiaoxue.
First of all, she is a high school student. Girls with such an education are rare not only in the countryside, but also in the city.
Secondly, Qiu Xiaoxue is of the right age.
It's the Qiu family, and they say "the old and the young are in order".
He also said that Qiu Guyu is the eldest sister, has a good temper, is steady and docile, and is suitable for taking care of children.
The Huo family wanted to marry Huo Yuanzheng. In addition to avoiding some trouble, they also wanted to find a suitable person to take care of their father and son!
After listening to what the Qiu family said, Huo's mother also felt that it would indeed be better to marry the eldest sister with a stable personality.
Huo's mother finally allowed herself to accept the fact of marrying a village girl as her daughter-in-law. At the last moment, the Qiu family did something like this again!
They, they——
No matter how much it goes too far, the Huo family will have to endure it.
There were only two days of family leave left for the expedition, and he still wanted to go out to fight.
But if the "wife" problem cannot be resolved, although Huo Yuanzheng will not be censored, he will be implicated to some extent.
It is better to marry him a upright wife as soon as possible and make the defection of his ex-wife a thing of the past, so that Huo Yuanzheng can slowly eliminate the suspicion.
Mother Huo quickly went through all the pros and cons in her mind.
In the end, she could only sigh helplessly: Forget it, my sister will be my sister.
Some of Qiu Xiaoxue's conditions are higher than those of Qiu Guyu.
In this way, the Huo family can also "deceive themselves".
"Yuanzheng, your Grandma Qiu is right, you and Xiaoxue should go to the village for a walk."
With a gloomy face, Huo's mother managed to squeeze out a smile and said softly to Huo Yuanzheng.
Huo Yuanzheng was indispensable. Before today, he had never met his "fiancée", so naturally he couldn't say whether he liked her or not.
Suddenly there was a change of person, ahem, although it was a little awkward, it was nothing.
All his tenderness and energy were almost consumed by his ex-wife.
Now he just wants to find a suitable girl and live together.
Huo Yuanzheng really didn't think about love or anything.
Therefore, when his fiancée changed from an elder sister to a younger sister, his heart was not disturbed at all.
"good!"
Huo Yuanzheng responded in a low voice, then turned sideways and made a "please" gesture.
