Zhang Laodou has completely given up and is waiting to get the money. Why can't he allow it?
She quickly gave Old Mrs. Deng a hand and persuaded her: "Although the child has some problems, he can't walk on the ground. There is no problem in giving birth to a child. If Lihua marries her, she will be his wife. If she gives birth to a child in the future, the family will be rich."
What a wonderful life we have in our hands? How could it not happen? If it had been anything else, we might not have been able to find such a good family for Pear Blossom."
Matchmaker Xiao nodded secretly, right? If Lihua's horoscopes weren't good and she was said to have many children and good fortune, then the Gao family wouldn't have decided to settle on her.
Although the young master of the Gao family cannot walk, there are still many girls who want to marry into the Gao family. Who wouldn't be happy to marry any girl from the village?
If it hadn't been for her, this marriage wouldn't have happened to Lihua.
There is no such shop after passing this village.
Matchmaker Xiao couldn't help but explain all the important points one by one.
Zhang Laodou is also afraid that if he hesitates, he will not be able to make a decision. Thirty taels! Who would be willing to take it?
As long as he has these thirty taels, he doesn't have to go around to borrow them.
He was about to open his mouth and make the decision.
But the old Mr. Deng started making trouble again. In short, he was not happy for Zhang Lihua to marry into such a good family and enjoy her happiness.
With outsiders around, Mr. Zhang couldn't say much else, so he could only pretend to be the good side of Lihua.
But old Mr. Deng refused to listen to others and refused to agree.
In the end, there was no way out, so Mr. Zhang had no choice but to ask Matchmaker Xiao to go back first and give him one day to reply.
Matchmaker Xiao can't do anything with this shabby old lady. She just won't listen to you.
So I had no choice but to listen to Mr. Zhang and planned to come back tomorrow to hear the results.
But she believed that of course it was the man who made the decision. What kind of trouble could this old lady cause?
When Matchmaker Xiao walked out of Zhang's house, Zhou Shitou and Song Qiu were driving the mule cart back to pull the tables and benches.
Seeing Matchmaker Xiao coming out of Zhang's house, Zhou Shitou was so nervous that he didn't even bother to go up the gentle slope, so he quickly jumped off the mule cart and ran home.
He needs to talk to his mother quickly!
…
Zhang Laodou was holding his breath and really couldn't calm down.
When the Song family next door was gone and his son and daughter-in-law were not at home, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but looked at Mr. Deng, who was holding his little grandson, and said, "I know you're afraid of what Lihua said.
I will come back after the wedding to make you angry, but to put it bluntly, how can this be considered a good marriage?"
"As long as she is married and has no end of serving her husband, how can she bother to go back to her parents' home to show off her prestige? Even she thought, the parents of the Gao family would not agree to it. If she asks a daughter-in-law to come into the house, she will have to serve his son.
, allows her to walk around so freely? Besides, with the appearance of Mr. Gao, I guess it’s impossible for her to come to her father-in-law’s house. So, what’s the point of Lihua coming back alone?”
"Anyway, this marriage is not as good as you think. So what if the Gao family is rich? You will not live a comfortable life if you marry Lihua, so don't worry!"
"Thirty taels of silver! There is no such shop after passing this village. Anyway, you don't like Lihua. If you marry her off like this, it will be a hundred dollars. We can also get a sum of money as a reward for raising her. Why?
Isn’t it good?”
"Ju Niang, I've made it clear to you, please don't make trouble about this matter, just feel free to nod."
Old Mrs. Deng hugged her grandson tightly and listened to him quietly. After he finished speaking, she still looked like she couldn't listen, "No! The past two years have been good, but she may not have lived as comfortably as she did, but the Gao family
Can her parents live longer than her? I want to live for two more years, but I don’t want her to come back and make me angry later.”
"In short, I have to arrange her marriage. It's good to be like Shuqin. Her son-in-law is honest and can't afford to cause trouble. Lihua's marriage must be arranged in this way."
Zhang Laodou saw that he had been talking for a long time, emphasizing the money. Didn't they just need money now?
But my wife just couldn't listen and wanted to find a poor family for Lihua. Can a poor family provide ten or twenty taels of silver?
This is not delivered to your door, you are stupid.
He lit up the cigarette angrily and chewed the stick loudly. The smoke filled the whole room.
After a while, when all the tobacco leaves rolled in were finished, Mr. Zhang put down the cigarette stick and looked through the lingering smoke at Mr. Deng, who was giving his grandson some gadgets to play with.
He suddenly said: "I said, are you really not happy to see Lihua marry well? Isn't it because the young master of the Gao family is a useless person?"
Old Mrs. Deng's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. She quickly said: "I'm definitely not happy that she's marrying well! It's not like you haven't seen how I've treated her over the years. How can this girl not feel resentful in her heart?"
Me? That’s it, I let her get married, but I’m not causing trouble for myself! So what does it have to do with me whether Young Master Gao is useless or not?”
Zhang Laodou listened and continued to look at Mr. Deng without saying anything for a while.
Old Mrs. Deng couldn't help but glare at him, "What's going on? You are blaming me. I gave you children, how much did I pay for the old Zhang family? Why can't I be the master at this time?"
I don’t want her to marry such a good family. Why are you willing to see me feel uncomfortable just for that little money? "
As he said this, Mr. Deng actually wiped away tears.
Old Mrs. Deng was always good-looking. When she was young, she was a flower in every village. Even though she is now in her fifties, her face is still somewhat beautiful.
Especially such a tear, when Zhang Laodou looked at it, his heart ached again.
After all these years, he has always cared about this wife.
Otherwise, how could I have swallowed that breath back then, not caring at all that she was with someone else, and still living a good life with her.
Of course, that tone came from somewhere else.
At that moment, Zhang Laodou took a step back and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't agree with this Gao family, I will ask Matchmaker Xiao to look for someone who has a similar life, is not much better off, and can come up with ten
Just two taels of silver will do, and I’ll borrow the rest from the village chief.”
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Deng gave up. Then she wiped away her tears and said, "That's not bad. In short, I just can't see her marrying well."
The Zhang family's situation has been temporarily settled, but the Zhou family's situation is tense.
Manju sat on the stool and looked at her son kneeling in front of her, feeling her heart aching with anger.
"Have you thought about it? Do you really have to beg Pear Blossom?"
Zhou Shitou knelt upright, held his neck, and said without fear: "Think about it, mother, I have been thinking about it for so many years. I just want Lihua to be my wife. I don't want any other girls.
Just agree to it! If it's too late, Lihua will have settled for someone else! My son will regret it for the rest of his life!"
Looking at such a son, Manju's eyes were a little dazed. She thought of the time when the man made such a vow in front of him. He said: "Manju, don't worry, I just want you to be my wife. Who can I do with other girls?"
No, just wait for me! I’ll go back and ask my parents to come and propose marriage!”
This child looks like his father, and has the same temperament, accepting death.
Manju couldn't help but sigh heavily, her heart was in a mess, and she couldn't make up her mind for a moment. In the end, she could only say: "Get up first, and wait until your father comes back."
