Good guy, is this Chunxing or Widow Qian the one you are marrying?
The betrothal gift of 660 yuan may not seem like much to some wealthy households, but to ordinary people, it is a huge number. Many people these days do not have enough to eat, let alone any income.
Where did you get so much money?
Under normal circumstances, if ordinary mountain people like Yang An and Chun Xing want to get married, the betrothal gift is at most one or two hundred cash, which is a lot. More often, it will be a few chickens, a few buckets of rice, and if there is another pig,
Or a sheep is a very wealthy family.
The conditions put forward by Widow Qian are far beyond the scope of the Yang family's strength. To be honest, this is deliberately embarrassing!
Moreover, when a man and a woman normally get married, there must be contact between the two families.
The betrothal gift is one thing, but the dowry cannot be less. But regarding the dowry, Widow Qian did not mention it at all, which is more interesting.
It is said that the money widow is greedy and loves money as much as her life. Now it seems that it is indeed true!
However, after all, this kind of thing is a private matter, and it depends on your preference and one's willingness to fight, and one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Although Li Yu and Yang Feng have a good relationship, it is not convenient to say anything more.
Besides, Mr. Yang has lived for most of his life. He has never seen anyone, so he can naturally tell the truth. However, the old people of this era attach great importance to the inheritance of blood. As long as they can continue their family's incense, even if they let him
He would be happy to kick his legs and die tomorrow.
Even if he knew that what Widow Qian did was dishonest, he would just pretend not to know and make arrangements to get married.
Li Yu took out a money bag from his arms and placed it on the table nearby. It made a clattering sound. It seemed to be filled with copper coins:
"Old man, I happen to have some savings. Since Xiao An needs it urgently, you can use it first. If it's not enough, you can let me know."
Li Yu thinks that he is not a purely good person, but repaying kindness is the most basic quality of life.
His grandfather and grandson were also kind to him. Li Yu himself had just received a huge sum of money and was not short of money. Now that Yang An was getting married soon, he must help.
In fact, if it weren't for the old man's face, he would have given the money directly instead of borrowing it.
But Li Yu knew Mr. Yang's temperament well. Although the old man was lame, he was very strong-minded and even more bloody!
Li Yu knew that the old man might accept the loan, but if he gave him money, it would be a slap in his face!
Borrowing money is helping, giving money is giving!
What's more, considering Li Yu's age, he is just a junior.
Mr. Yang glanced at the bulging money bag, and his lips trembled. After all, he didn't refuse. He leaned on the crutch, squeezed it tightly, took a deep breath, and sighed:
"Anzi's parents died early, and he usually had to take care of me, an old cripple. This child has endured a lot of hardships. Now that he has finally reached the age of getting married, his parents must be very happy to know that."
"Logically speaking, I have watched you grow up, so I shouldn't accept this money, and I can't accept it. But who told me, an old cripple, to be incompetent? So the old cripple accepted the money shamelessly and waited for it later.
I'll give it back to you slowly. If I die early and I can't pay it back, I'll let Anzi pay it back!"
Li Yu shook his head and said: "I won't hide it from you where you are from. Uncle Lame left me some wealth, and I have made some savings recently, so I am not short of money for the time being. Besides, Xiao An and I grew up together.
The older one is one year older than Chi, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his elder brother. As an elder brother, I should help him."
Dong dong dong——
Mr. Yang didn't say anything more, but tapped his crutch and said: "Anzi, come here!"
Upon hearing this, Yang An put down what he was doing and came to the two of them obediently.
"You should have seen what happened just now, so you have to write it down today and keep it in your heart for the rest of your life!"
Mr. Yang looked serious and said in a deep voice: "You must remember to repay this money, and don't forget your brother's great kindness! You must repay it someday, you know?"
"knew."
Yang An nodded seriously.
Seeing this, Mr. Yang said: "Kneel down and kowtow to Brother Li a few times."
"Old man, this is inappropriate!"
Li Yu quickly stood up to stop him, but Mr. Yang stretched out his hand to stop him. He just said that this was the right thing to do and he was stubborn.
Li Yu had no choice but to give up.
"Brother Li, I'm too stupid to speak, but I know you are a good person. Apart from my grandfather, you are the only one who treats me the best. Don't worry, I will pay you back the money in the future. You are the best to me."
Okay, I will remember it forever!"
Yang An said seriously, then he knelt down and ignored Li Yu's obstruction, and kowtowed three times, making a loud banging sound, and his forehead turned a little red.
Seeing this, Li Yu shook his head and sighed.
The grandfather and grandson are really more stubborn than the other.
But then again, if they hadn't been so upright in temperament and character, Li Yu wouldn't have such a good relationship with them.
When Li Yu interacts with people, he doesn't look at whether the other person has money or his abilities. What he looks at is the other person's character and temperament.
If your character is good enough and your personality is compatible, being friends is enough.
With these two, everything else seems not to be so important in comparison.
It was now noon, so the grandfather and grandson naturally would not let Li Yu leave on an empty stomach.
So after he was full of wine and food, Li Yu wiped his mouth and chatted with the old man about some matters related to engagement and marriage. He waited until the sun began to move westward and then said goodbye.
After waving goodbye to Yang An who was sent out, Li Yu rushed to Yizhuang.
Climbing up a hillside along a path and walking for a while, the old and dilapidated Yizhuang came into view.
However, Li Yu found that his Yi Zhuang had an uninvited guest.
He was a Taoist priest who looked quite young, with a somewhat immature look on his face. He was a little younger than Li Yu. He was wearing a washed white blue Taoist robe. His back was straight at this time, and he was standing on the righteousness ground.
There was no movement under the wild jujube tree at the entrance of the village.
As if he noticed something, the little Taoist priest turned around and looked at Li Yu with a calm look on his face.
When Li Yu approached, the little Taoist priest bowed his hands and said: "I am a poor Taoist, Wang Yu, whose Taoist name is Chengyun. I have met lay people before."
His movements were precise and serious.
Li Yu was surprised, but also returned the courtesy: "My surname is Li Mingyu, and I have met the Taoist Priest. May I ask what the Taoist Priest has to say when he comes to my village?"
He can now be regarded as a master of martial arts. He has perfected his muscles, bones and skin. He has an extraordinary spirit and will. He can sense some of the details of this young Taoist priest.
This young man has a faint aura around him, but there is no trace of it leaking out. He has a rather unfathomable aura, and he is clearly a practitioner.
