Lin Erzhu's wife smiled with a smile on her face, "I'm here to find your mother, is your mother at home?"

Lu Ziyan didn't like her, and she was too lazy to give her a smile. She turned around and shouted loudly in the direction of the hall, "Mom, someone is looking for her!"

"Oh, your mother is at home! I'll go into the house by myself, so she won't have to come to greet me." Lin Erzhu's wife smiled and walked into the main house, "Lu family's eldest lady? Lu family's eldest lady?"

"Welcome you? Bah, I think beautifully!" Lu Ziyan rolled her eyes at her fat back and continued to feed the chickens, "Yo——————”

Mrs. Lu did not go to the ground, so she set up a spinning wheel in the backyard, and spinning while basking in the sun.

The Lu family’s young master and Lu Ziyi can handle it alone. Madam Lu rarely goes to the fields and only sells some yarn at home.

Hearing the shout, she put down the shuttle in her hand, patted the thread on her clothes, and stood up.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Lin Erzhu's wife coming to the backyard.

"Hello, Madam Lu, oh, it's good to call her sister-in-law." Lin Erzhu's wife's little triangular eyes were smiling with a curved smile, looking very kind.

Facing such a familiar person, Madam Lu has no good feelings, not to mention that she is the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Lin.

"Speak if you have anything, I'm busy." She sat back and picked up the shuttle and continued spinning the yarn.

The smile on Lin Erzhu's wife's face froze. She endured the unhappiness in her heart and said lightly, "Yesterday, your Lu Ziyi went to our big room and gave her a gift to meet her, saying that she wanted to marry my eldest niece Lin Yuan."

It turned out to be for this...

Madam Lu stopped spinning and looked at her side, "What do you want to say?"

Lin Erzhu's wife smiled slightly and found a chair to sit down. "Let me tell me what our old lady means. She said, it is not easy to raise a daughter's family. Is this bride price not too shabby? Do you think it's? Sister-in-law of the Lu family?"

If you don’t have a single horoscope, just give me a bride price?

Or did her female family take the initiative to say it?

Still full of arrogance?

Madam Lu looked down on the Lin family for a while, but she couldn't help but want to marry her son.

Madam Lu fixed the thread on her sleeve and then spinned it, "According to your old lady's wishes, how much does this bride price need?"

Lin Erzhu's wife smiled, "Our home is more delicate and smarter than ordinary girls. She not only knows how to do farm work, but also makes money! Just yesterday, she also bought a calf for her family! This bride price... Of course, it can't be given to ordinary girls like this, of course, you can't make it too difficult for your family, right? Just... fifty taels, plus ten pieces of fine cotton, to make perfect."

Fifty taels!

Madam Lu was shocked and turned around and looked at Lin Erzhu's wife, "Your girl is very expensive and she needs a bride price of fifty taels? The most bride price in my village is only eighteen taels. That's because the girl can embroider her hand. The whole village counts the best embroidery girl. Can you?"

Lin Erzhu's wife smiled and said, "Of course she can do it. She started embroidering since she was a child."

Madam Lu held back her anger, "Fifty taels are too much!"

"Fifty taels are not too much." Lu Ziyi's voice suddenly rang behind the two of them.

The two looked back at the same time.

I saw Lu Ziyi walking into the backyard with a basket of newly picked wild vegetables in his hand.

He placed the wild vegetable basket at the kitchen door, placed the hoe in a corner of the yard, and looked at Lin Erzhu's wife, "Auntie Ayuan, our family can take out this dowry."

"Ziyi!" Madam Lu stood up in anger.

Lu Ziyi walked up and pressed Madam Lu's arm, "Mom, my son only married once in his life, and you only have one son. It's worth holding a happy wedding. Isn't it just fifty taels? My son can take it out."

"Okay, my words have also been passed. Your family will choose a day, take the matchmaker to find our old lady, and the two families will discuss the specific date of Nacai. I'll go back first." She flapped her sleeves and stood up, smiled and walked into the main hall, headed towards the front yard.

Lu Ziyan swept the floor in the front yard. When she saw her walking out, she still ignored her.

Lin Erzhu's wife still greeted her with a smile, "Oh, what a clever girl, have you ever promised me?"

Hula—

Lu Ziyan turned around and swept a pile of dust mixed with chicken manure to Lin Erzhu's wife.

"Oh, you girl..." Lin Erzhu's wife was so scared that she jumped up and tried to slap her sleeves in dust. When she smelled the smell of chicken manure, she even turned back with her face white, "Bao, bah, bah, bah—" she vomited several times.

Lu Ziyan ignored him and continued to sweep.

Lin Erzhu's wife was so angry that she gritted her teeth and left with hatred.

Lu Ziyan quickly cleaned the front yard, put the broom on and ran to the back yard.

In the backyard, her elder brother and mother said something, and they turned cold to each other.

Lu Ziyan looked at this and that, "Mom, brother, what's wrong? Why are they all stretching their faces?"

Lu Ziyi didn't say anything and walked aside to chop firewood.

"It's nothing, Swallow, go, choose the wild vegetables, wash them and cut them, and then bake a few wild vegetable cakes in a while." Mrs. Lu glanced at her daughter and continued spinning.

"Oh." Lu Ziyan couldn't ask the answer, so she picked up the basket and went to choose wild vegetables. While choosing wild vegetables, she said, "Mom, there is not much flour at home and there is not much rice. It's time to buy some back."

Madam Lu threw the shuttle in her hand and said hatefully, "Buy, buy, do you have money at home?"

The rice jar at home is bottomed out, and the flour is only enough for today's food. She hasn't touched the silver for fifteen years. She uses copper plates every day and eats wild vegetables and pickles all year round. The vegetables in the field cannot be eaten for five or six times a year, and they are sold for money. But her son actually said he would give the Lin family a 50 tael of bride gift?

She was so angry that she kept coughing.

Lu Ziyan was startled and quickly threw down the wild vegetables in her hand and ran forward, constantly patting Madam Lu on the back, "Mom, you have been suffering from coughing for a few days. The doctor said you can't be angry, why have you forgotten again?"

Lu Ziyi also threw the axe and strode over.

Madam Lu hummed angrily, "It's better if I'm so angry, I'll be over."

Lu Ziyan: “…”

Lu Ziyi frowned slightly, "..."

When the family was froze, someone whispered loudly in the front yard, "Auntie Lu, Brother Lu? Sister Lu?"

Lu Ziyan heard that this was the voice of Lin Yuan’s younger brother, “It’s Sister Yuanzi’s younger brother here, I’ll go and have a look.”

Running to the front yard in a flash.

"Mom, my son has his own way to overcome the difficulties. Don't be angry." Lu Ziyi comforted his mother.

Madam Lu had a cold face and didn't speak.

After a while, Lu Ziyan happily ran to the backyard again, "Mom, brother, Yuanzi sister and brother are here to send back gifts. He brought a lot of things, including the shoes of the three of us. There are two pieces of fine cotton cloth, one hundred kilograms of rice and one hundred kilograms of fine noodles, and a wolf. Oh, the wolf skin has been peeled and washed, and the wolf meat has been salted."

After hearing his daughter say a lot, Madam Lu's face eased a little, "I'm busy, you guys go and see."

"Yes." Lu Ziyan looked happy, "Brother, let's go, look at your return gift."
