After saying this, Zhou Huizhen brought up another incident involving Liu Dazui.
"I just remembered that Liu Dazui came here to borrow clothes for the Fu family today. The eldest son of the Fu family will go to see you tomorrow."
"The eldest son of the Fu family, I remember he must be over 20 years old, right?"
"But no, I'm 25 this year. I had a few dates in the past few years, but they didn't work out. Then his father got sick again, and all the family money was used to see a doctor. This delay has dragged him to this age, right?
?" When it comes to all kinds of gossip in the village, Zhou Huizhen is obviously more familiar with it.
"I don't know what price the Fu family paid this time?"
She wouldn't be kind enough to introduce someone to someone at a price that appeals to her.
"I guess she can't be younger. By the way, Liu Dazui got angry and left because I didn't agree with her introduction to Xiaoyu and Xiaohui. She also didn't take away the clothes she borrowed for the eldest son of the Fu family. Do you want to pay for it later?"
Send it over to my family." Zhou Huizhen suddenly remembered Liu Dazui's reason for coming. She didn't like Liu Dazui, but she had no dispute with the Fu family. They both lived in the same village. They couldn't see each other when they looked up, so they really couldn't help but borrow it.
"Okay, I'll go there in a while. Which one can I borrow?" Xie Zhiyuan also understood this.
"Forget it, your clothes are probably not suitable for the eldest son of the Fu family. I'm going to find something that Xiaolin wore two years ago. I remember that the eldest son of the Fu family is not too tall either.
I remembered that I made a new set of clothes for Xiaolin a few years ago, but he grew up faster in those two years and could no longer wear them after wearing them twice. Later, I gave them to you from the bottom of the box. I remember that the clothes were still there.
It's quite new, I'll go look for it." After saying that, Zhou Huizhen got off the kang and went to look for it where she kept her previous clothes.
Because they were winter clothes, and Xiaolin had a lot of clothes in the past two years, she thought of waiting until it warmed up before taking them apart and adding another piece of cloth.
It was a coincidence that after the Chinese New Year, my son and his daughter-in-law got married. When the daughter-in-law got married, she got four or five sets of clothes for her son at once.
Later, she saw that her son had clothes to wear. After her daughter-in-law got married, she no longer had to worry about her son's sewing and mending work, so she packed that set of clothes away in the box. As time passed, she almost forgot about them.
This time Liu Dazui came over to borrow clothes and she remembered it. It happened that the people in the family didn't like their clothes to be better than others. They were all from the same village, so they had to borrow them. This dress was just right.
.
"I found it, I just said, remember it is here." Zhou Huizhen rummaged for a while and then took out a set of clothes that were 70% to 80% new from near the bottom.
The clothes look quite new, but there are some wrinkles from being pressed at the bottom of the box for a long time.
Zhou Huizhen spread the clothes on the table, pulled out two pieces of charcoal from the bottom of the pot and put them into the iron. After the iron was hot, she sprinkled some water on the clothes, put the hot iron on it, and moved it back and forth.
The clothes were smoothed out in two minutes.
"No, it's done. Go and deliver it." Zhou Huizhen folded the ironed clothes and handed them to Xie Zhiyuan.
"Okay, I'll send it to him right away." Xie Zhiyuan didn't say much. He took the folded clothes and got off the kang.
Because the distance is not that far, it only takes half an hour to get back.
Seeing Xie Zhiyuan coming back, Zhou Huizhen asked curiously: "Do you know which girl the eldest son of the Fu family will meet tomorrow?"
"Don't mention it, it's not a mutual respect at all. This Liu Dazui doesn't tell the truth." Xie Zhiyuan waved his hand, not forgetting to express his dissatisfaction with Liu Dazui.
"It's not about looking at each other, what is that?" After hearing this, Zhou Huizhen became even more curious.
"I don't know what they said. They will just bring the girl back tomorrow."
"Bring it back directly?"
"I guess the girl's family is out of food. The Fu family said they would bring 50 kilograms of food over tomorrow and they could bring her back."
"Isn't this selling my daughter?" After hearing this, Zhou Huizhen was a little shocked.
Even if you need to marry your daughter off in exchange for a bride price, you don't do that.
The two children must be allowed to meet each other no matter what. Even if they don't meet, they still have to inspect the son-in-law.
He just took the food and sent his daughter out directly. She had never heard of such a thing.
Not only Zhou Huizhen, but Xie Zhiyuan also felt that it was not very understandable at this time. Although a lot of the harvest in their place this year was taken away, it was still okay. Even if there was a shortage of food, it would not be this bad.
Judging from the behavior of this family, it seems that if they don't sell their daughter tomorrow, they will starve to death.
He has never seen anything like this in so many years. At most, it's like a lion asking for dowry, marrying his daughter to an older man, or to his dead wife.
But even so, those people still want to save some respect, and they would not ask someone to take their daughter away just because they met their son-in-law for the first time.
"I don't understand, I don't understand." Xie Zhiyuan shook his head and said.
"If you don't understand, don't worry about it. After all, we are just people from the same village. Besides, you can do whatever you want. This kind of thing is a matter of mutual consent. Why should we get in the middle?" Zhou Huizhen
Patted his hand and comforted him.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yu and the Xie family got up early. They were really curious about the marriage of the eldest son of the Fu family and wanted to watch it up close.
Obviously, they were not the only ones who were curious. Others in the village were just as curious as them. When they went to the village entrance after breakfast, they found that the village entrance was already crowded with people.
There was a fire in the east and a fire in the west. Everyone was warming up and chatting.
From time to time, he would look at the path leading into the village. Apparently, in just one day, basically everyone in the village knew about the affairs of the eldest son of the Fu family.
Regarding this matter, people in the village have various opinions.
It is also said that Liu Dazui deceived this and that in the middle. The most outrageous thing is that a large number of people believe this rumor.
From this, I also learned about Liu Dazui's reputation in the village. If the child had no defects or had some shady intentions, people would generally not approach her as a matchmaker.
But this time, Fu's family actually invited her to be a matchmaker, which made the eyes of the villagers drop.
And some people are also curious about what will happen next, so don’t they all come to watch the fun?
Yes, there is very little entertainment nowadays. People in the city can at least watch performances every once in a while, but there are no various performances or cinemas in the village.
I usually don't feel bored when I'm busy in farming, but when I'm in winter, I have nothing to do, so I just rely on those little gossips to pass the time.
