However, Mrs. Dong finally controlled it and did not appear to be too attentive.
The two parties exchanged polite greetings, and because there was a matchmaker in the middle, it didn't seem awkward at all.
Dong Nuan sat obediently next to Mrs. Dong Wu. The Dong family always had Mrs. Dong socializing there. Mrs. Dong Wu made it clear that if she was not Dong Nuan's biological mother, she might not even be able to give her face.
Now she was just sitting there as a backdrop, but she wanted to talk.
But every time she wanted to speak, Mrs. Dong would look at her.
She had just been beaten two days ago, and there were still some areas on her face that were not healed. Now, as soon as Mrs. Dong Wu felt Mrs. Dong's gaze, she shrank her neck in fear and did not dare to say anything more.
The two parties have just made an appointment to get married now, and it is not yet time to come to propose marriage and discuss the wedding date, so they only need to hand over a token of engagement.
This thing also depends on the financial strength of the two families. If you have money, just exchange some valuable items. If you don't have money, just do it as a formality.
Naturally, Dong Nuan couldn't afford any valuables here. Mrs. Dong thought about it, and finally found out the fabric from the bottom of the box. After cutting it carefully, she sewed a hair tie.
Because she was afraid that Dong Nuan's shabby craftsmanship would damage the fabric again, Mrs. Dong sewed this headband herself. Dong Nuan didn't get her hands on it the whole time. She just took another look at it last night.
Hanjiang Tower didn't take any valuables, just a wooden hairpin.
The girls in the village who have not left the palace usually wear their hair in double braids or braids, and their hairstyle is very simple.
Married women do know how to wear their hair in a bun, but they don't have any serious hairpins.
Wooden hairpins are a luxury, not to mention wearing gold and silver. Anyone who can wear silver earrings is considered to be the most prosperous family in the village.
Many women don't even have wooden hairpins. In most cases, they just get a branch, fix it, and pin their hair in a bun.
Looking at the wooden hairpin that the matchmaker took out, the smile on Mrs. Dong's face became a little thicker: "This is good, this is good, the Han family brother is really thoughtful."
Mrs. Dong smiled and said auspicious words.
Hanjianglou stood behind the matchmaker and smiled sheepishly.
Through the hands of a matchmaker, tokens of tokens between the two families were exchanged.
"Nuan Ya is young now, but I will stay for a few more years. I will definitely be reluctant to marry off my child before she gets her hairpin." At the end of the conversation, the two parties came up with the issue of the age of marriage, and Mrs. Dong smiled and said
.
Old man Dong told her early that all the other granddaughters in the family could get married early, but Dong Nuan couldn't!
After all, the family is now highly valued, and their family has benefited from this. After getting married, wouldn't it be too cheap for Hanjiang Tower?
Mrs. Dong remembered this, so she hurriedly said it to the matchmaker.
Hanjianglou didn't need to speak, many of his attitudes had already been told to the matchmaker early in the morning.
So now, when the matchmaker heard what Mrs. Dong said, she smiled and waved her hands and said: "Oh, Nuan Ya is only twelve years old and she is still a child. How can she get married now? It's just that the Han family's younger brother really likes Nuan Ya and doesn't want her.
It was booked to someone else, so I decided to book the marriage as soon as possible. As for when to get married, I’ll wait until Nuan Ya grows older.”
"That's good, that's good." The matchmaker's attitude was Hanjianglou's. Mrs. Dong felt much more at ease upon hearing this.
The two parties were polite for a long time, and Dong Nuan acted as a mascot throughout the whole process. It was not until each other had finished what they had to say that the matchmaker stood up, and Mrs. Dong sent the person away politely.
Before going out, Hanjianglou quietly approached Dong Nuan and handed a boiled egg to Dong Nuan's hand.
Dong Nuan obediently took the egg and held it tightly in her palm.
Mrs. Dong Wu looked at it with eyes warm, Mrs. Dong glanced out of the corner of her eyes and naturally saw it, but because the matchmaker was still there, she couldn't say anything.
After seeing off the matchmaker and Han Jianglou, Mrs. Dong turned around and heard Mrs. Dong Wu saying matter-of-factly with a straight face: "Nuan Ya, eggs are such a good thing, it's useless for a girl to eat them. You have to
Give it to Yao Bao, and later..."
"You're a short-sighted guy from the third family. Is my fire stick bad for use?" Mrs. Dong didn't pick up the fire stick this time. She picked up a bigger one.
Carrying pole!
He picked it up and headed towards the Dongwu family in a menacing manner.
Dong Wu was originally thinking about how to trick Dong Nuan into giving Dong Yao the eggs she was holding.
As a result, before she finished speaking her so-called truth, she saw Mrs. Dong rushing over with a pole.
Dong Wu was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she subconsciously wanted to seek help from Dong Nuan. However, when she turned around, she found that Dong Nuan was already ten meters away from her, slowly peeling off egg shells.
Mrs. Dong Wu wanted to shout, but Mrs. Dong's pole had already been thrust towards her. She only focused on running for her life, and she didn't dare to shout to Dong Nuan again.
Dong Nuan was eating eggs leisurely on the side and watching the excitement.
Dong Wu was like this because she had received less severe beatings. Now that someone is taking action, Dong Nuan can't wait for her.
Therefore, Dong Nuan didn't even raise an eyelid when it came to Mrs. Dong beating the Wu family.
After all, the pole is big, and after wielding it for a long time, Mrs. Dong was tired.
She didn't originally want to beat people to death. Most of the time, she mainly wanted to scare people.
So, when I was tired, I put down the pole and gasped for breath.
Dong Wu had been beaten several times just now, but she had no memory at all.
Seeing Mrs. Dong put the pole back, she poked her head forward and said, "Auntie, why don't you keep that wooden hairpin for me? Yaobao is not young now, and he will be engaged in a few years.
When the time comes, this will be a decent betrothal gift..."
Before Mrs. Dong Wu finished speaking, the pole that Mrs. Dong had just put away was swung again, and at the same time Mrs. Dong's thundering voice came out: "Ms. Wu! You bastard, how can I get you?"
Such a blind daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Dong was really mad, so even though she was extremely tired, she still waved her pole and beat Mr. Wu again.
The problem is, Mrs. Dong Wu is restless when being beaten, or she thinks she is being justified, so she dodges and raises her voice and says: "Yao Bao is a boy. He is a good thing in the family. You can't stick to him."
Well? If Nuan Ya doesn’t pay more for Yao Bao now, how can she expect Yao Bao to support them in the future?”
"Oh, you idiot! What's wrong with the boy? The most important thing in the Dong family is the boy. Dong Yao is eight years old, and he can't even tell the difference between wheat seedlings and bean seedlings. You still expect him to support you and establish a household. Damn you.
!" Mrs. Dong spat fiercely, still feeling unhappy, and quickly said viciously: "Starting tomorrow, I will take care of Dong Yao, and then I will leave it to you. I will have to raise this child to death!"
One sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue, frightening Mrs. Dong Wu so much that she stood there stupidly. She didn't move for a long time, and Mrs. Dong beat her several times.
Standing not far away watching the bustling Dong Nuan, my last bite of eggs almost got stuck in my throat because of these words.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, swallowed quickly, and tried her best to raise her hands to breathe freely, thus avoiding the possibility of choking to death.
