Where can Old Lady Lin tolerate people laughing at her? She immediately jumped up and scolded the villagers watching the fun, "The dog can't spit out ivory! Your family is planning to do the bride price of her granddaughter! I am worried about the big house. Look at them, they are a group of fools. Do you know how to use the silver? The Lu family saved the life of the eldest granddaughter. The Lu family is trying to get a wife for nothing! Bah, shameless! The eldest son and the family are confused and can't see it, my mother-in-law has long seen it!"

Lin Dazhu and his wife and Lin Yuan had already walked to the gate of the yard. When they heard the humiliation of the old lady Lin behind them, their faces turned pale.

Isn’t it that they will not use money to call them waste in disguise?

It is said that the Lu family has repaid their kindness? It is obviously not!

Their family has taken advantage of a lot of Lu's family!

"Don't pay attention to her! I didn't take advantage of our family and was cheating! I quarreled with her and I couldn't lose my own value! We are not afraid of being slanted by the shadows!" Lin Yuan advised Lin Dazhu and his wife.

If the argument continues, the villagers will only make the jokes about them.

They don’t quarrel, and people are laughing at Mrs. Lin.

Sure enough, Lin Dazhuzi and his family stopped talking, and some of the onlookers started to report the injustice.

"My mother in Lin family, why do I feel that the Lu family has not repaid their kindness? You asked him for a bride price, didn't he deliver it immediately? It's more refreshing than any other family!"

"I heard that the Lu family gave a gift of six wolves. If it were another family, they would only give two pots of wine and two pieces of fabric, which cost only a few hundred yuan. The six wolves of the Lu family are worth more than ten taels! The Lu family is so generous!"

"Yes, it can be seen that they are interested in this marriage."

"It's Pooh Lin, why don't you tell the big house about asking for a bride price? What do you mean by this? Want to take it alone?"

Old Mrs. Lin was choked and suddenly became hoarse.

On the road outside the courtyard, Lu Ziyi turned around the ox cart and took the matchmaker and walked away with Lin Yuan's family.

People laughed at Old Lady Lin even louder.

Old Lady Lin originally thought that Lin Yuan's family would argue with her. If she quarreled with her, she would take the opportunity to cry and cry. She didn't think that Lin Yuan was so cunning and left.

She was pointed at and laughed at by someone, and she was very embarrassed and angry, and turned around and ran towards her home.

Bang--

Close the door tightly.

Where is Lin Erzhu and his wife? Of course, they are even more afraid to walk out of the main hall and hide in the room!

People laughed even more.

...

Lu Ziyi and his group returned to Lin Yuan's house.

Lin Cui, who was guarding the gate, opened the fence gate wide and complained, "Brother Lu, why did you send my sister's dowry to the second bedroom?"

Lu Ziyi looked apologetic, "I was careless."

"Okay, okay, how can you say that to you Brother Lu?" Lin Yuan stretched his face, "His original intention was to respect grandma. Let grandma take a look at the dowry first. Unexpectedly, grandma wanted to deduct my dowry. It was not his fault."

Lin Cui looked at Lin Yuan with a smile, "Sister, you haven't married Brother Lu yet, just talk to him like that?" He sank his face again, "Hmph, I thought he wanted to marry Xiuyue!"

"What nonsense, you kid?" Mrs. Lin pushed Lin Cui, "Don't just stand and talk, help, help something."

"Yes!" Lin Cui smiled.

Lu Ziyi parked the ox cart on the side of the yard gate and everyone started to move things.

The Zhang family and the Lin family are closest to each other, and several wives take their children to see the bride price. There are also two old men passing by, who also stop watching the fun.

They praised Lin Yuan for the many brides gifts and expressed their congratulations.

The matchmaker stood aside and said compliments.

It made everyone laugh and joke with Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had never eaten pork, but he knew it when he saw too many pigs running! Faced with these gossipy villagers, the more embarrassed and shy they acted, the more they were able to speak.

She walked into the house and took out a box of candy and distributed it to everyone with politeness, "Happy together."

The candies at this time were made of cane sugar, unlike the modern world that was colorful and made in all kinds of ways, which attracted people's appetite.

The candy cubes are either cubes, or flower-shaped bodies made of plum blossom molds or round molds.

And it tastes single and the packaging is simple.

It is just wrapped with a thin layer of paper on the brown malt sugar cubes. The wrapping papers are bamboo green and light pink.

The candy Lin Yuan brought back from the county town was pink wrapping paper.

In order to show more festiveness, Mrs. Lin wrapped a layer of vermilion paper outside the pink paper.

Everyone was eating candy, talking and laughing.

It was not until Lin Yuan's house moved the bride price that people dispersed in groups of three or three.

In the main hall, Lin Cui, who was running errands, had already arranged teapots, tea bowls, snacks, fruits, and incense tables as directed by Madam Lin.

It’s time to officially worship tea and meet the elders of the woman.

Because it was a marriage that both families agreed to, the matchmaker just went through the motions.

As she said congratulations, Lu Ziyi gave tea to Lin Dazhu and his wife.

Afterwards, he gave the matchmaker a red envelope that had been prepared. The matchmaker happily left with a jingling red money bag.

After there were no outsiders, everyone sat down and talked about the misunderstanding that they had just given the bride gift.

Madam Lin asked first, "Ziyi, you said just now that the dowry was something that Aunt Yuanzi went to tell me. When did she have been to your house?"

"Some days, just one day after the meeting gift." Lu Ziyi said, "I thought, Grandma Lin is an elder, so she sent it there. But I didn't expect..."

The greed and shamelessness of Mrs. Lin and the second wife surprised Lu Ziyi.

He decided not to contact that family in the future.

"How can they do this?" Even though Madam Lin was an honest man, she was so angry that she was so angry that she was so angry that she was blackened.

Lin Dazhu took a sip of dry tobacco and sighed, "Fortunately, we went in time."

Lin Yuan sneered, "Yes, if you don't go in time, then fifty taels of silver will be in grandma's pocket. It would be strange if we can get back!"

"Next time, no matter how sweet they say, I will ignore it!" Lu Ziyi said guiltily.

Madam Lin said, "This matter has passed, forget it, just let it go, just let our family not interact with them."

Lu Ziyi nodded, "I know."

After lunch at Lin Yuan's house, Lu Ziyi set up a ox cart to go home.

Lin Yuan trotted from the house and stuffed a cloth into his arms, "If you dislike it, you can throw it away quietly, but don't laugh at me."

Lu Ziyi glanced at the package and asked Lin Yuan in surprise, "What is this?"

"Let's see again when you get home. You are not allowed to see on the road, and you are not allowed to see now." She warned with a cold face, turned around and ran into the house.

"Okay." Lu Ziyi nodded honestly. Seeing that the package was wrapped very carefully and wrapped in extremely clean cloth, he carefully put it in his arms.

Lin Cui looked at Linyuan's bedroom, oh, my sister is still shy? Are you closing the door?

She walked to Lu Ziyi with a smile, "Brother-in-law?"

Lu Ziyi was tidying up the rope that tied the bull's nose and looked up at her, "Cui'er, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing. My sister has been busy for three days and two nights to make it. This is her first time making shoes. Don't look down on her!"

"What were you done in three days and two nights?" Lu Ziyi was confused.

Lin Cui pointed to his arms, "It's just in your arms!"

Lu Ziyi's eyes flashed and he smiled, "No, she did it with her own hands, I won't look down on it."

"That's good." Lin Cui waved at him with a smile, "Brother-in-law walks slowly, come often when you have time!"

"Okay, come often." Lu Ziyi looked at Lin Yuan's house, and got on the ox cart with a smile on his face. "De'er, De'er" shouted twice and drove the ox cart away.

When he walked a little distance from Lin Yuan's house, he took out the small package and opened it. He found that he was carrying a pair of brand new men's shoes.

The bottom is thick, ink-blue surface and white bottom.

Although it was a little worse than what my mother made, Lu Ziyi was still very happy when she thought that it was Lin Yuan’s first shoes and that she stayed up late.

He took off his old shoes and tried them on it on the spot.

Very fitting!

Lu Ziyi couldn't bear to wear it now, so he took it off immediately, shook off the dust, wrapped it up again as it was, and stuffed it into his arms.

He also pressed it with his hands to prevent it from falling off.

...

Lin Yuan received a bride price of fifty taels. After Lin Zhi came back from school, Lin Cui chattered to Lin Zhi, "Do you know? Fifty taels, the one who gets the most bride price in the village is the eldest sister. Brother Lu is amazing, right?"

Lin Zhi was so surprised that he shouted "Wow, wow--"

Lin Yuan walked over and reached out to knock on his brother's head, and said with a funny look, "Are you a toad? Wow!"

"Your elder sister is right. This is a bride price, not a money you picked up. Why are you so excited that you shouted?" Mrs. Lin closed the front yard door and walked into the main hall to scold her youngest son.

"Brother Lu is kind to my sister, I'm happy." Lin Zhi hung his schoolbag onto the nail on the wall and said with a smile.
