The village chief's mother-in-law didn't show off, and then said: "As you know, I have never done anything like this to protect a matchmaker, and these people are not outsiders. I also think the two children are a good match, so I am so generous.
With my face, I accepted this errand and came to your house."
"You are also familiar with the groom's family, and you don't know much less about it than I do, because it is none other than the stone from the Wujin family in our village."
"This kid, Shitou, has grown up playing with Zhang Yang and you guys. He knows everything about it. He himself has also fallen in love with Lihua. That's why Manju and his wife asked me to be their matchmaker and entrust me with this trip."
"What do you think of this marriage?"
The village chief's wife is not a professional matchmaker. When trying to secure a match for the first time, she just says what needs to be said and doesn't say any fancy words. Anyway, everyone knows when she talks about the Zhou family, so there is no need for her to brag and say nice things.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the three of them, waiting for a reply.
Originally, in the same village, there was no need to go and inquire about anyone's family. As long as they were satisfied, the marriage would be settled immediately, so there was no need to hesitate.
When Zhang Yang heard that it was the boy Shitou, he immediately understood. No wonder he was grinning no matter what he said. He thought this boy was stupid, but it turned out that he had fallen in love with Lihua and wanted to be his brother-in-law!
Doesn’t he like Aqiu?
In this way, Zhang Yang felt much more relaxed. Apart from his love rival, he still found this boy quite pleasing to his eye.
Moreover, he had grown up with this boy since he was young, and he knew very well what kind of person he was, so he was not afraid that he would treat Lihua badly.
The most important thing is that the Zhou family has a simple population, and only Shitou, his son, will not have any troubles with his sisters-in-law in the future.
He also knew about Uncle Wujin and Aunt Manju. The couple was loving and the family was harmonious. He didn't have to worry about Aunt Manju using her mother-in-law's money to embarrass Lihua.
In addition, Uncle Wujin is selling goods in the town. This business is very stable, and the family is living a prosperous life.
No matter how you think about it, this marriage is very good.
Zhang Yang felt relieved, but he didn't speak immediately. He still wanted to wait for the old guy to act like a monster and then come out and piss him off to death.
When old Mr. Deng heard that it was a stone, he didn't even have to think about it, and he was extremely satisfied.
Unexpectedly, Shitou fell in love with Lihua, and Manju didn't care about their family's troubles and was willing to come to propose marriage.
It would never be so good if Lihua married into the Zhou family.
Old Mrs. Deng breathed a sigh of relief. It was a great blessing to be able to arrange such a marriage for her granddaughter.
only……
Sure enough, I felt an invisible glance from beside me.
She should have exploded immediately and never agreed to arrange such a good marriage for Lihua. This was a truly good marriage.
This is consistent with her usual temperament.
She would have made a fuss if she was talking about someone else, but the Zhou family.
She didn't want to make any more trouble, and she would feel sorry for Lihua if she messed up this good relationship.
Besides, now that the ten-year contract signed by the second two children is finalized, the old man can't harm them at all.
Zhang Yang's place, it's strange that the old man can cure him.
As long as the pear blossom thing is settled, she feels that she has nothing to fear.
After so many years, my son and daughter have grown up well and have families, and my grandchildren have also grown up safely.
She doesn't have to be afraid anymore.
What else are you fussing over?
So she kept silent, didn't say yes or no, and acted like a quail.
Zhang Laodou waited for a long time but his wife jumped up and said he was not happy, and he was very anxious.
Of course he wouldn't be happy to tell Lihua about such a good marriage in Zhou's family!
Even if the Zhou family could definitely get the ten taels of silver, he wouldn't be happy with it!
If Lihua really married into the Zhou family, wouldn't it mean that she was like a fish in water and was very free?
The Zhou family is living in harmony, how can such a good family say that they want to give a girl like Lihua a piece of cake!
But his wife had been silent for a long time, so he couldn't remind him too obviously.
After using Yu Guang for a long time to no avail, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"Is this child Shitou? This child Shitou is a good child. Listen, this is indeed a good marriage! Ju Niang, what do you think?" Yes, it is such a good marriage. Isn't it true that my wife would rather marry Lihua?
Well, why didn't you jump up and refuse?
Seeing that the old man still handed the conversation to him, Old Deng responded in a hum, "It's pretty good."
I will listen to you this time.
Zhang Laodou:...He can jump up and firmly disagree?
No, if you really do this, what’s the reason for your disagreement? Can he explain it clearly?
In that case, he would have no face to speak of, and his usual behavior in front of the villagers would be ruined.
So, he could only shut up?
Thinking of this, Zhang Lao Dou was really heartbroken. He felt uncomfortable and could not have an attack. It was almost going to kill him.
Seeing this, the village chief's wife nodded inwardly. She knew that the two elders of the Zhang family had no reason to reject such a good marriage, right?
If she really wants to bite her off and disagree, she will find a way.
But fortunately, Mrs. Deng, who never liked her granddaughter, didn't make a fuss.
The village chief's mother-in-law laughed and said, "This is indeed a very good marriage. We are all from the same village. If Lihua gets married, it will only take a mile to go back to her parents' home. Brother and sister-in-law, I don't have any objections, right?"
?”
"What about Zhang Yang? First you told me about your sister's marriage and you want to keep an eye on her. What do you think?"
Zhang Yang noticed Zhang Lao Dou's forbearing look, and was so stunned that he wanted to vomit blood. At this moment, he was laughing so hard in his heart!
His sudden move was so wonderful!
I'm afraid this old man will get angry next time!
Hahaha!
It is indeed a good marriage, and his mother is very satisfied with it. No, it's not just a show.
Zhang Yang grinned and was very happy, "Okay, okay! I've watched this boy Shitou since I was a child. I'm relieved that Lihua will marry him!"
The village chief's wife also smiled happily, "Okay, since your family agrees with this marriage, I can also reply to the Zhou family. Even if this marriage is settled, the next thing will be decided by the Zhou family."
The next thing I will deal with is the betrothal gift. It is a rule. You must make it clear when you are getting engaged. Brother Dad, brother and sister, please tell me what your requirements are, so I can go back to the Zhou family."
Zhang Laodou was extremely upset, but at this point, he couldn't even jump up and say he didn't agree. He could only swallow his breath and accept this marriage that he was extremely unhappy with.
But there is no need to talk about the betrothal gift, he must get it! Otherwise, what will happen to the house?
He had originally planned that an ordinary person would need ten taels of silver.
The betrothal gift for his married granddaughter was thirty taels of silver. This is the rule in the Zhang family. What can others say?
Even though he knew in his heart that he was buying a house for his eldest grandson, he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
Whose old man doesn't care about his grandson? What's there to say?
Immediately he said: "There are no other requirements for the betrothal gift. It is still the same as what was said at the beginning, at least ten taels of silver."
