Chapter 203: Those who refuse marriage without refunding the bride price
An Zihao was accompanied by Xia Qiyue to go to Xiabein, and she also provided the money. When An Zihao asked her to borrow money, she learned that he was going to Xiabein.
The two talked for a long time. After coming out of the room, Xia Qiyue took An Zihao to buy a lot of wedding supplies, as well as gifts for the engagement.
In the countryside, there are not so many things to pay attention to. To apply for a betrothal, you just need to send a bride price. The more respectable people will also bring two gifts, and the betrothal is done.
But Lao An's family did not agree with this marriage, so they would never prepare wedding supplies. As sister-in-law, Xia Qiyue had to think more carefully, so she took An Zihao to buy new clothes and bedding, and also gave them as gifts.
A dressing table for the newly minted fifth sister-in-law.
By the time Lao An's family arrived at the patriarch's house, the family tree had been completed and they were preparing to take their new daughter-in-law home.
"No! Let me tell you An Zihao, I firmly disagree with this marriage. It is a major matter of marriage. My parents ordered the matchmaker to say it. If we, the old couple, do not agree, this marriage will not be established!"
Mrs. An shouted as soon as she stepped into the courtyard of the patriarch's house. Her voice was so loud that it almost penetrated people's eardrums.
Leader Lao An also trotted anxiously. He really didn't expect that this rebellious son would marry the orphan girl after he said early in the morning that they would no longer force him to marry the fourth family.
It was originally agreed that we should take our time, but now it's about to go to waste. The traitor has married a daughter-in-law. How can the fourth family become a concubine?
Everyone in the room heard it, and the patriarch took the lead and walked out, followed by a group of people who cheered.
Except for An Youde who worked in the courtyard, the patriarch's sons were all there, and even Liu Jiajia came out holding her three-month-old daughter.
It was Mrs. An's voice that was so magical that she startled everyone.
"Ms. An Li, what are you calling?" The one who is most suitable to control Mrs. An here is Mrs. An Wang. She scolded her with a straight face, "Did you know that we have a baby at home? It scares my granddaughter."
It’s over, I’m not done with you!”
Mrs. An knew she was in the wrong, so she averted her eyes for a moment. Then she remembered what she was here to do, and became confident again. She held her neck tightly and shouted, "Lao Wu, come home with me! You are not allowed to marry that orphan girl!"
While speaking, he pointed his finger accurately at Wang Liya, who was standing behind everyone, the orphan girl from the Wang family that An Zihao was going to marry.
Wang Liya lowered her head, and her body shook unconsciously. She grew up in someone else's home and lived under others' roofs, and developed the ability to read people's eyes. At the same time, she was timid and had low self-esteem.
When her aunt told her that An Zihao proposed marriage to her, she couldn't believe it.
Of course Wang Liya, who grew up in Shanbei Zhuangzi, knew An Zihao. He was a person that girls of the same age in the village couldn't help but take a second look at. He had also secretly watched An Zihao many times.
But I also know that his mother is a powerful person, and she never loses to those aunts in her quarrels with people in the village.
Her daughters-in-law were also very harsh towards her, either scolding or beating her, and her sisters-in-law were also very harsh.
So although she liked An Zihao, she never thought about having anything to do with him.
Her aunt has been warning her that it will not be easy to raise her, so she should marry a richer family and give her more gifts to repay their kindness in raising her.
She didn't dare to refute, although she never had a good life under her aunt's care. When she was not working or looking after her children, she carried her six-year-old cousin on her back all the way while escaping from the desert. She almost died several times, but in the end her uncle and aunt took her in.
She has been someone for so long.
She didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes, she just waited for her aunt to marry whomever she wanted.
But one day, my aunt came to me and told me that An Zihao had proposed marriage to her and was in a hurry to get married. Seeing her aunt's satisfied look, I couldn't say anything no matter how unwilling I was.
After knowing that the bride price was ten taels of silver, she realized that her aunt was not satisfied with An Zihao. She was satisfied that the bride price was enough.
She didn't expect that An Zihao's family would disagree with her marrying into their family. She thought that An Zihao would like her because he could give her such a large betrothal gift to marry her.
When her aunt said she was in a hurry to get married, and An Zihao's fourth brother was newly mourned and couldn't hold a wedding banquet, she didn't even think of anything else going on.
Anyway, she did whatever others arranged her to do, just like a puppet on strings, pulling and moving one step at a time.
Until now, the family tree has been published, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law came to tell her that they could not marry her. She was a little at a loss.
"It's okay, don't worry!" Xia Qiyue patted her shoulder from behind and said words of comfort to her.
Wang Liya subconsciously leaned towards Xia Qiyue as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
An Zihao walked out of the crowd with a gloomy face and stood in front of the old couple, "Mom and dad, go back and talk!"
He didn't want to lose face in front of the villagers. Although the wife he married was not the one in his heart, it was his choice after all, so he should protect her.
After being rejected by the old couple in front of so many people, how could she go out in the future?
"Lao Wu, do you understand? I said, I don't agree with you marrying that orphan girl!" Mrs. An didn't give in, she shouted even louder, and at the same time, she grabbed An Zihao's arm and pulled him out.
"Mom, it's too late. We've finished the genealogy. From now on, your fifth daughter-in-law will only have Wang Liya! Never change it!" An Zihao, a man of few words, asked him to say something nice to coax old Mrs. An or to beg.
It's impossible for him.
"Listen to your mother!" Chief Lao An said seriously from the side.
Xia Qiyue patted Wang Liya's shoulder lightly, then walked out from the patriarch and walked to the old couple, "Father, mother, are you really going to make trouble here? Are you even considering the future of your grandchildren?"
Facing this daughter-in-law who has the ability to make money, the old couple adopted the mode of getting along with each other this time. Mrs. An put away her stern and cold eyes when facing everyone, put on a worried look, and sighed.
:
"My old lady doesn't agree to let that orphan girl from the Wang family come in because of the future of her grandchildren! Fourth daughter-in-law, you can understand my mother, right?"
Xia Qiyue knew in her heart that this old woman was not doing it for her grandchildren... No, it could also be said that it was for her grandchildren, because she was rich. When Lao Wu married herself, it meant that Lao An's family was rich and could provide for them.
The grandson studies and supports their family.
Isn’t this also indirectly for the sake of the grandchildren?
But she would not tell the truth, and she was not stupid either. She quickly nodded, "Mom, of course I can understand you. It is not easy for you to live your life for your son and grandson, but marrying Liya will not affect anything. She is just an orphan, not
What kind of heinous person is she? She has a gentle temperament and is easy to get along with. She must live in harmony with her sisters-in-law. Seeing that she is so beautiful and generous, she is a perfect match for our fifth child. She is a talented woman and a beautiful woman. Moreover, the betrothal gift has been paid, and the family tree has also been published.
, Mom, it’s too late for you to say anything. In order to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, Lao Wu paid a bride price of ten taels to marry her! If you, my parents, refuse to marry me, the bride price will not be refunded!"
