"The mayor is still very good. He hit the target as soon as he said it."
Song Leizi sat down on the stone bench, immediately gave a thumbs up and said with a sly smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and get serious!"
Bu Fan rolled his eyes at this ungrateful guy.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that it's unbelievable. Mayor, you don't know that Li Datou's family has agreed to the Xinde kid marrying that ugly girl from the Xia family!"
Song Laizi clicked his tongue and shook his head, as if in disbelief.
"agreed?"
Bu Fan was a little surprised.
He thought this matter would take at least a few days to end.
Didn’t you think about it for a day before you agreed?
"Yes, I agreed. Even Datou's wife and son agreed!" Song Leizi said.
"I remember that Datou's wife returned to her parents' home a few days ago?"
Bu Fan was confused.
Li Datou's daughter-in-law asked her son Li Huairen to take her to visit her parents' house because something happened at her parents' house.
"I came back last night. With such a big incident at home, how can I stay at my parents' house? I also heard that Li Datou's daughter-in-law went to Zhou Yatou's house this morning, and she plans to go to Xia's house in the next two days.
Talk about matchmaking!”
Song Laizi clicked his tongue.
“How come it’s so fast??”
Bu Fan was startled for a moment, he knew that the Zhou Yatou that Song Leizi was talking about was not Zhou Mingzhu, but Zhou Matchmaker, the matchmaker in the town.
"How do I know why they are so fast? Everyone in the town is talking about it now. Mayor, tell me, the kid from Xinde is not bad in appearance either.
He is also a student of the academy. He will not be able to marry any girl he wants in the future, but he will marry an ugly girl!" Song Laizi shook his head and sighed.
"You are already a lot older. How can you call a little girl ugly?" Bu Fan slowly shook his head.
"I didn't mean to slip up!" Song Leizi smiled coquettishly.ωωw..net
"Dad, what did you just say, ugly girl?"
At this moment, Xiaoman came over with a tray, which contained a teapot, teacups, and a plate of snacks.
"Nothing, I'm just talking about a family in a small town marrying a wife!" Bu Fan said casually.
"oh!"
Xiaoman didn't take it seriously. After placing the tray on the stone table, he started cleaning the yard again.
Song Lezi drank tea for a while at Bu Fan's house, during which he kept saying, intentionally or unintentionally, that he had been suffering from backache recently.
How could Bu Fan not know what Song Leizi was planning? He didn't give Song Lezi a good look and kicked Song Leizi out directly.
However, Song Leizi still took away two jars of wine.
Originally Bu Fan wanted to go to Li Datou's house to check on the situation.
But considering that the entire Li family had agreed to the marriage, he could not play any role in the past, so he left.
At night.
Bufan's family was sitting in the yard enjoying the shade.
Say they are a family.
In fact, there were only four of him, Dani, Xiao Xibao, and Xiaoni.
This may also be the sorrow of immortal cultivators.
The longevity brought by hard work is not used for leisure, but for repeating boring practice day after day, year after year.
"Brother-in-law, have you heard about Uncle Wu Tang?"
The fifth uncle Xiaoni mentioned was Li Datou.
"I heard, isn't it that their family wants to marry the daughter of the Xia family in the mountain village?" Bu Fan said casually.
"Brother-in-law, your news is out of date. You don't know how hateful the Xia family is. Today Uncle Wutang asked matchmaker Zhou to go to the Xia family to propose marriage.
They actually asked for one hundred taels of dowry money, do you think this is ridiculous?"
Xiao Ni on the side suddenly said angrily.
"One hundred taels of bride price?" Bu Fan was startled.
"Yes, they also said that they can't marry their daughter unless they give her a hundred taels of bride price. I think they are used to blackmailing her!" Xiao Ni said angrily.
Bu Fan was not surprised as to why Xiaoni knew about it.
The soap workshop is home to more than half of the women in the town. There is nothing in the town that they don't know about, from big events to trivial matters.
So when it comes to his grasp of information, he may not be as good as Dani.
However, it was beyond his expectation that the Xia family dared to open their mouths and offered a gift of one hundred taels to the Li family.
After all, what is the concept of one hundred taels?
Just talking about a family of five, not to mention other expenses, just the daily expenses, the total a year is only five or six taels of silver.
One hundred taels is equivalent to more than ten years of expenses for a family of five.
"Did matchmaker Zhou tell you this?" Bu Fan asked curiously.
"Yes, she came to our workshop this afternoon, and the eldest sister also knows about it!" Xiao Ni said.
Dani on the side nodded, and Bu Fan shook his head. It seemed that the whole town would know about it tomorrow.
"Then this is no longer called a marriage, but a feud!"
"Who says it's not the case? Originally, this matter was caused by the Xia family's dishonesty, but now that they dare to open their mouths, I think their family thinks they are sure to defeat Uncle Wutang's family!"
Xiaoni snorted coldly.
"What's going on at Fifth Uncle's house?" Bu Fan asked.
"I heard from matchmaker Zhou that Uncle Wutang did not agree and said that the marriage was not wanted, but the boy from Xinde seemed to be convinced of the girl Xia Ju.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy drug that Xia Ju gave Xinde!" Xiao Ni sighed.
"Then it seems that this matter will not be solved so easily!"
Bu Fan shook his head.
"Brother-in-law, why don't you go and persuade Xinde tomorrow to stop trying to get into trouble? There are so many good girls in the world, why do you choose Xia Ju?" said Xiaoni.
"Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow!"
…
Xia family.
At this moment, Liu Donghai and Mr. Xia were arguing fiercely in the room.
"How can you ask for a hundred taels of silver from the Li family? How will you face your husband's family if you ask Xiao Ju to marry her?"
Liu Donghai asked with a sullen face.
"What's going on, what's going on, I raised my daughter to such a big age and asked for some betrothal gifts? Besides, where is Nomo Town?
Everyone there is a wealthy owner, and I think it’s similar to the Li family. I’ve heard that,
The Li family is also related to the mayor, so they are not short of money!" Xia said in a loud voice.
"You...are unreasonable!"
Liu Donghai was so angry that he couldn't hold back his words for a long time.
"Why am I being unreasonable? I am not doing this for this family? My son does not need money to study, and I do not need a bride price to marry a wife.
In the future, Peach Blossom will also marry into a good family without a dowry. One hundred taels is still a small amount for me!" Xia said with a arrogant attitude.
"But have you ever thought about what if the Li family rejects this marriage?" Liu Donghai asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Impossible, if they dare to refuse, then I will go to their house to make trouble!" Xia was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly.
"Are you making a fuss? Why are you making a fuss? We didn't take advantage of the gift before. Not only did they not complain about us, they also agreed to marry Xiaoju. Now you dare to ask for a gift of one hundred taels?
Do you think they are being taken advantage of and are allowed to be bullied at will?"
Liu Donghai smiled instead of getting angry.
He had not supported Xia's going to Li's house to cause trouble before, but he was the one who barged in. His words at home had no weight at all.
