"What can happen to me? I just miss you. The house is a mess and I look miserable. I just want to come to your place to see my daughter."

This is obviously not true.

It’s so powerful to say something that doesn’t mean it.

Yuan was not stupid, "I miss my mother and my father too, but the old Xu family has a lot of things to do, and it's not a holiday, so I don't have time to go back to my parents' house. Mom, if you have anything to do, just tell me. I'm busy at home now."

It's very strange that after staying in the room for a long time, my mother-in-law will be scolding people outside in the yard soon."

Mrs. Yuan wanted to say a few more words to keep things close to her heart. When she thought of Mrs. Xu Zhang’s harsh mouth, people were coming and going in and out of Lao Xu’s house. Such a big movement was

Really busy.

My daughter is the most capable person in Lao Xu's family. She has been wasting time nagging in the house for a long time. Maybe Mrs. Xu Zhang will really open the door and come in to scold her, and then she will be the shameless one.

"I don't have anything to do. Your eldest nephew is eighteen years old this year. Normal people at this age are talking about getting married. Your eldest nephew is a very talented person, but it has been delayed until now because of poverty. I have hired many matchmakers to help your eldest nephew.

Pay attention to the family of such a suitable girl, but no one has ever come to propose marriage to your nephew... In terms of age, your old daughter from the Xu family is a very suitable match. I mentioned it to you early on, and you have always been

I don’t dare to say this to your mother-in-law. Speaking of which, the closer we get to each other, the closer we become..."

Mrs. Yuan couldn't wait to cover Mrs. Yuan's mouth.

"Mom, don't mention this! If my mother-in-law hears this, she will be embarrassed again. This is inappropriate, inappropriate. How many times have I told you? It's inappropriate in this generation, old man.

My sister is my sister, and Xiaohai is my nephew. How can this generational relationship be confusing? Besides, my sister is already engaged now and has a fiancé, please stop talking about it."

Mrs. Yuan bent down to carry her back, but the look on her face was disdain, "I didn't say now, the engagement was decided years ago. I have already told you about this topic, you don't dare to mention it, what?

Although we are of different generations, your eldest nephew Yuan Xiaohai is not bad in appearance, he is similar in age, and he is someone we know and know well. With Xu Jiaojiao, your old Xu family, who is as fat as a pig, your eldest nephew

You have suffered a loss by becoming her son-in-law! Your eldest nephew will definitely not be happy to be her son-in-law. However, I calculated that I will live in Lao Xu's house for the first two years. When the child is born, it doesn't matter how powerful Xu Zhang is.

Your eldest nephew took the child to our Lao Yuan's house, and naturally his wife and children followed him back, and he can go home and become the head man. Speaking of which, Mrs. Xu Zhang is really shameless, relying on pampering her daughter, and will not marry a good daughter.

, she actually hired a son-in-law. With so many sons in the family, she actually hired a son-in-law for her daughter? What a joke! Could she still be counting on her daughter to provide for her in her old age?"

When Yuan heard these remarks, she turned pale with fright and looked at the window frequently for fear of being overheard by people outside.

"Mom, please, you still want your daughter to have a happy life at Lao Xu's house. Please don't say such things again in the future."

If Mrs. Xu Zhang heard this, she would probably scold Mrs. Yuan right on the spot.

Xu Jiaojiao is her rival. Who dares to have an idea against Xu Jiaojiao? What is this called?

This is called living impatiently!

No matter how much she listened to Mrs. Yuan, she would not dare to listen to Mrs. Yuan's instigation to find Xu Zhang's matchmaker for Yuan Xiaohai.

If she dared to mention it, Mrs. Xu Zhang would probably ask Xu Laoer to divorce her on the spot.

No joke.

Mrs. Yuan shut up angrily, "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore. I'm angry. It's such a good marriage. You don't think about your eldest nephew. You don't think your mother's family is poor.

But, my daughter, a son will not despise his mother for being ugly, a dog will not despise the family for being poor, and you cannot despise others if they despise you! My daughter, I am counting on you to support me in my old age."

"I have never disliked it. Mom, don't worry. I won't mention it. It's my mother-in-law who has objections to our old family. If she mentions it, she will only get scolded and won't agree. There is no need for such discomfort. During that time, everyone

Didn't my nephew come to our house to see me every once in a while under your boss's instructions? I didn't see my sister taking notice of me, so I didn't even dare to mention it. Now that the matter is over, you, boss Wanwan

Stop talking about this." Yuanshi quickly confessed.

That was all years ago.

As soon as Mrs. Xu Zhang let out the news, she wanted to arrange marriage for Xu Jiaojiao.

There are young people from the neighborhood who often come and hang out near Lao Xu's house.

Her eldest nephew is one of them.

It's embarrassing to think about it. At that time, Mrs. Xu Zhang looked at her with ridicule and disdain.

The eldest nephew couldn't stand Mrs. Xu Zhang's look in his eyes. He came for a few days and then stopped coming.

The matter finally passed, but Mrs. Yuan did not expect that she would bring up the old matter again today.

Mrs. Yuan said, "Okay, let's not mention it. I came today to give you good news. Yesterday, a matchmaker came to your door and said that she was looking for a match for your eldest nephew. The girl is a good girl. She is from the next village. She looks good.

Zhou Zheng is at least much better than your pig-like girl from the Xu family. He is also diligent in his hands and feet. He is sixteen years old this year. He has many brothers and sisters in the family, and he is also easy to raise..."

As she said this, Mrs. Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

Yuanshi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's great! Have you met? When do you plan to get married?"

"Not yet. The matchmaker is reliable. She should be almost right. We also asked about the girl's name. There is indeed such a person. However, the matchmaker said that the girl has many brothers in her family and it costs ten taels of silver.

The betrothal gift! Chunhua, our family can’t afford even half a tael of silver now. Ten taels of silver, isn’t this pushing our old Yuan family to a dead end?”

Chunhua is Yuan's name, Yuan Chunhua.

"Ah! Why do you want so many? Ten taels is too much, isn't it? Is the price of betrothal gifts so high now? How come I heard people say that only three or four taels is enough? The most is only five or six taels.

, these ten taels of silver are too much! This is selling my daughter, right? Our Xiaohai is a perfect person, not the crippled, deaf, blind or cripple, so we don’t want to buy a wife!"

Mrs. Yuan said, "Isn't it? But the matchmaker said that this is a good girl from all over the country, and the dowry gift is naturally different. She also said that if the girl gets married, she will be the one to go out. She promises not to go to her parents' home, and she also said that the dowry gift is in place.

It’s not all lost, you can also give me some things as a dowry, and make the wedding a decent one... That’s nice to say, but I wouldn’t agree to it anyway, so in the end I counter-offered and settled on a dowry of eight taels of silver.”
