"How about..." Zhao Baolin looked at Chai Hong who was sitting there crying and thought for a long time before asking...
As a result, before the words came out, Chai Hong shook his head desperately and said: "Take it! Take it all! No matter what, we can't delay the child! I just feel reluctant and uncomfortable... don't pay attention to me, just cry for a while and it will be fine."
Zhao Baolin sighed, not knowing what to say.
Chai Hong cried all night long... She was worried about money, and even more worried about how she would live in the future. After all, how could a person live without money? Making money in rural areas is not like in the city, where there is income every month.
They only rely on the little grain they sell at the end of the year. The money comes in once a year. Once it is empty in the middle, it is difficult, difficult, difficult to make extra money...
But no matter how uncomfortable she is, she will pay for it.
The next day, Zhao Baolin, Chai Hong, and Zhao Yuhe set out and met their sister Meng Huimei in Songwu County. Meng Huimei then took them to Liujia Village to meet Han Xiaoran's parents, Han Kunyan and Zhou Shaoxia.
When entering the door, Zhao Baolin was worried, fearing that he might accidentally mess it up.
But after meeting each other, Zhao Baolin found that this family was extremely easy-going and enthusiastic. When the two families got together, it didn't take long for them to talk and laugh without any disagreement.
"Brother, I have seen your child. Although this child is deaf and mute, his eyes are the windows to the soul, and I can see it. He is a good boy... There are many people who can make money these days, but the heart
There are not many good ones." Han Kunyan said with a long sigh while holding the wine glass.
Zhao Baolin felt very comfortable after saying this. He quickly raised his glass and said, "Say nothing more, brother, do it!"
"Fuck!" Han Kunyan followed suit.
After a glass of wine, Han Kunyan continued: "I have fallen in love with the child, but you also know that although we are from the village, the people in the village are more respectable, and such a big thing as marriage cannot be taken lightly. My daughter
You have also seen that I am just a daughter, and getting married is a first-class event. Therefore, the scene must be grand and the face must be acceptable."
Han Kunyan spoke sincerely, what could Zhao Baolin say? He could only nod along.
Meng Huimei sat on the edge and said: "Brother Han, just tell me what you want to do about this matter. Our family will definitely pay for the money that should be paid, but it is too much and it is difficult to get it."
Meng Huimei told Zhao Baolin what was in her heart. It could be said that she was helping him every step of the way. She was extremely grateful to Meng Huimei and her eyes were a little red. She was obviously just a cousin thousands of miles away, but she was so kind to him...
Zhao Baolin felt warm in his heart! Therefore, whatever Meng Huimei said, he nodded. He believed that Meng Huimei would definitely not cheat him.
Han Kunyan said: "Don't worry, our family is also a responsible person, and we are real people. We never thought of selling our daughters. We just follow the average level. We have what others have. We don't want what others don't have. We don't want it."
I don’t pursue greatness, but I seek not to be embarrassed.”
"Brother, what you said has touched my heart. Go away!" Zhao Baolin was moved and raised his glass!
Another glass was drained.
Han Kunyan said: "According to the rules of the village, the fee for meeting is two thousand, and the fee for changing one's words is three hundred sixty-nine. We don't want nine, sixty-six, sixty-six, just to make things easier! As for the betrothal gift, I think if we can afford it, we can settle down in the city."
, I don’t have the ability. I have a nest in the village. As for the ones in the city, let the children work hard on their own. As for the bride price, brother, please tell me how much you can give!"
Han Kunyan was so cheerful and didn't ask for much. Zhao Baolin was grateful. In addition, he was drunk. In line with the principle of not letting good people suffer, Zhao Baolin said: "Sixty thousand!"
"Pfft!" Chai Hong, who was sitting at another table eating under the kang, sprayed all over the floor on the spot.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Zhou Shaoxia patted Chai Hong's back enthusiastically, and said she was relieved.
Chai Hong laughed dryly: "It's okay, it's so spicy that I choked on it."
"It's fine...Sister, eat some food." Zhou Shaoxia picked up some vegetables for Chai Hong, and Chai Hong nodded. However, the food was not as delicious no matter how he ate it, and he was worried...a deposit of 30,000 yuan, and a bride price of 60,000 yuan.
Thousands, plus other things, it’s not even hundreds of thousands, it’s impossible to get it! Where can their family get so much money?
Zhao Baolin continued: "We have to prepare three golds for our children. When they get married, they will be glorious."
Then, Zhao Baolin took out 30,000 yuan and put it on the table. He took out 20,000 yuan and pushed it over and said, "Brother, this is the deposit for the girl."
"Twenty thousand?" Han Kunyan looked at it and was a little surprised. Generally speaking, deposits in rural areas are meaningless. Ten thousand or twenty thousand is common, but there are not many that reach 20,000.
No one noticed that when Zhao Baolin said 60,000 and gave 20,000, his brows obviously relaxed, as if he had figured something out.
"Brother, open it up!" Han Kunyan was not polite and accepted it.
When Chai Hong heard that Zhao Baolin only gave him 20,000 yuan, he was slightly relieved and said, "Fortunately, this guy is not stupid."
As a result, Zhao Baolin said: "Sister, this matter is all thanks to your help. This ten thousand yuan is your hard-earned money."
When Chai Hong heard this, her hands trembled...but she still held back her words. She always had to give face to her men outside. Moreover, it was useless to object at this time. Besides quarreling and making a fuss, what else could she do?
?It’s not worth it to interfere with your son’s marriage.
Meng Huimei immediately beamed when she saw the money and heard these words, and said quickly: "Oh...brother, you...oh, if my sister's family is not in trouble and needs money urgently, I really can't accept this money."
"Is there something wrong at my sister's house?" Zhao Baolin asked in surprise.
"Yes, your brother-in-law had an operation some time ago and he still owed a debt of 8,000 yuan. I was worried at first, but I didn't expect... My hands hurt when I took the money. Let's consider it as a loan from my sister. I will pay it back to my brother in the future...
..." Meng Huimei said.
Zhao Baolin quickly shook his head and said: "No, it's just a matter of words. Are we brothers and sisters? If the money is not enough, sister can tell her brother and he will help you find a way."
When Meng Huimei heard this, her eyes trembled obviously. She seemed to be thinking about something, and she seemed to be struggling with something. Even the speed of taking the money was slow, but in the end she smiled and accepted the money.
After the money was given, everyone was happy with the rest, and the two families chatted until midnight.
Zhao Baolin and Meng Huimei stayed at Han Xiaoran's house for three days. During these three days, Han Kunyan's family treated Zhao Baolin's family very well, and they were like a family. Even when they left, Han Xiaoran's mother Zhou Shaoxia even pulled Chai Hong's clothes.
He was not allowed to leave and cried until he was still alive. In the end, Han Xiaoran's cousin and other relatives pulled him and helped him back.
Seeing this scene, Chai Hong and Zhao Baolin's hearts became sour and hot... Zhao Yuhe was even more devoted to Han Xiaoran.
