Xue Xiulin started, and Wei Mingrong also followed suit. Su Anying was honest and didn't speak, but her expression was not right either.
The faces of the Xu family's elders were very ugly.
It is already very difficult to resolve things when they have reached this point. If it is not handled well, the whole village will know about it, and several daughters-in-law in the family will also have all kinds of grievances.
"Get out of here." Zhou Guilan glared at Xu Shide and called him into the back room.
The group returned to the east room again.
Zhou Guilan asked Xu Shiqin to take the children to the west room and coax them to sleep.
Don't let children hear adults talking about things. These little brats don't understand anything. What if they go out and talk nonsense?
Xu Shiqin also understood that she, a big girl, could not get involved in these matters, so she obediently led her nieces and nephews back to the west room to sleep.
In the east room, Zhou Guilan calmed down a little, glanced at everyone, and finally sighed.
"You also heard just now that the fourth child did something wrong, and now the Wu family has taken advantage of him.
Now that the engagement day is approaching, what should we do about this matter?"
"What can you do? You have caused trouble and you have to figure out a solution for it.
If Lao Wu's family wants to sue him, they can sue him. If the police come to arrest him, they will let him put up the fence."
Xu Chenghou got angry when he saw the fourth child and wanted to beat him again.
"Anyway, I can't afford the three big items, and I don't have 500 yuan to give him as a betrothal gift.
Our family has three daughters-in-law, and none of them asked for a bride price of 500 yuan."
In recent years, I have never heard of asking for a bride price, and there is no mention of it at all.
If the man has good conditions, most of them will be like the Xu family, who will make furniture, buy bedding, and prepare a watch, two sets of thick clothes, a pair of leather shoes, and two pounds of wool for the woman.
This is already the highest standard. Xue Xiulin is an educated youth, and the Xu family is afraid of wronging others, so they give it to them.
Later, when Wei Mingrong and Su Anying got married, they also followed the previous example.
If it were an ordinary family, they wouldn't even have these things, so it would be nice if they could scrape together half of it.
There are other people who have nothing and can’t even afford a banquet, so why don’t they just get together and live together?
Therefore, the Wu family wants three big things and a gift of 500 yuan, which is unreasonable and purely embarrassing.
Hearing her husband's words, Zhou Guilan shook her head, "Yes, where will we get this five hundred yuan gift? Isn't this embarrassing?"
Xu Shide, who had been standing in the middle of the ground with his head lowered, secretly raised his head, glanced at Xu Shiyan, and murmured in a low voice.
"I don't have any at home, but doesn't Third Brother have some? Third Brother sells sticks and black blind man's guts, which cost more than two thousand."
Xu Shide seemed to be muttering quietly, but in fact everyone in the room could hear him.
When Xu Shiyan heard this, he smiled instead of getting angry.
At this point, is there anything else you don’t understand?
From the beginning, he was puzzled that Wu Qiuyan got pregnant before she was married. This had happened in her previous life.
Why didn't everything go smoothly and they got married at that time, but the Wu family was in trouble in this life?
It's three big things and a betrothal gift. If you don't give it, you'll sue the officials.
At the end of the co-authorship, the source is actually here.
The Wu family had heard about Xu Shiyan and knew that Xu Shiyan would definitely be able to come up with the money, so they confidently wanted to make a fortune.
"Fourth brother, tell the truth to Third Brother.
Did the Wu family say what you just said, or do you also think so?" Xu Shiyan lowered his face and asked Xu Shide.
"Third brother..." Xu Shide hesitated and was speechless.
Xu Shiyan nodded, "Okay, I understand."
While saying this, Xu Shiyan stood up directly, went up and punched Xu Shide.
"Outsiders are jealous when they see your third brother making so little money, and he is blackmailing people overtly and covertly. I am never angry.
Because those are outsiders, it is normal for them to be envious and jealous.
But what about you? You are my biological brother, and you think about me like an outsider? Fourth child, you make my brother’s heart tremble.”
This is the reason why Xu Shiyan doesn't like to go home. He would rather live in the mountains with his wife than come back to see his brothers scheming over his little money.
Originally, it felt pretty good to chat with my brothers in the afternoon and discuss hunting in the mountains.
Xu Shiyan also let go of his grudge and felt that there was no need to worry so much with his brother.
It was just evening when the fourth child came to him.
"Daughter-in-law, let's get dressed and go back. It's getting late. You can't stay up late. Go back and rest early."
Xu Shiyan punched his brother, did not continue, and led Su Anying out directly.
Before leaving the house, Xu Shiyan turned to look at the Xu family.
"Father, Mom, you two will take him directly to the Wu family tomorrow and follow the Wu family's instructions on how to deal with him.
Anyway, this is just a bunch of people. If the Wu family wants to fight, kill, or sue the officials and arrest people, it’s up to them.
He is responsible for his own troubles, and his parents cannot take care of him for the rest of his life. The Wu family can do whatever they want, so there is no need to give them a penny more."
Since the Wu family could happily marry off their daughter for nothing in the previous life, it is impossible to really send Xu Shide into it in this life.
This kind of thing can't be slapped in the face. If something happens, the Xu family will be embarrassed, and the Wu family will be even more embarrassed.
There are several daughters behind the Wu family. I don’t believe they really dare to make trouble?
After saying this, Xu Shiyan supported his wife, walked out of the house, and left the Xu family.
It wasn't until the sound of the door closing outside came that everyone in the room came back to their senses.
Xu Cheng angrily picked up the broomstick and gave it to Xu Shide again.
"You bastard, are you worried about everything? What else does your third brother want to do to the family?
Last time I sold sticks, your third brother secretly gave your mother a hundred yuan behind your third sister-in-law’s back.
Just now your mother gave him the team's bonus, and he took out another hundred yuan, saying it was reserved for your wedding.
When my brother does this, he has already exhausted his kindness and righteousness, and you are still not satisfied."
After this winter, Xu Chenghou's view of his third son had already changed. He paid more and more attention to Xu Shiyan in his heart without saying anything.
With Xu Shiyan competing here, the more he looked at the fourth child, the less effective he became, and the more he wanted to beat him.
"Ah? Third brother gave money to the family? I don't know."
Xu Shide was confused, and no one told him. How did he know?
"Third brother not only gave the family money, he also said he would take us hunting in a few days. Now you have been offended. I don't know if the hunting can still happen?"
On the other end, Xu Shixiang said with great distress.
What a blind man, four or five hundred yuan is just a waste of money.
It makes the fourth brother so angry that he looks smart every day, but in fact he is just a fool. He is coaxed around by the Wu family and he doesn't even know he has fallen into someone else's trap.
"I don't know about this either. You didn't tell me anything."
Xu Shide was anxious, "What should we do now? Shall I go and get the third brother back?"
"What time has it been? It's dark outside and your third sister-in-law is pregnant with the child. Why don't you scare her again?"
Alas, let’s talk about it in a few days, and go and settle your matter first tomorrow.”
Zhou Guilan gouged out her son's eyes several times, and she was so angry that she was so angry with him.
