Ten kilograms of gold here is equivalent to more than three million yuan outside. This is indeed a generous dowry for the Jiuli people.
However, to Xiao Chen, this amount of money is nothing at all.
Although he also likes beauties, Xiao Chen was frightened by this little beauty approaching him like that.
"Doctor Xiao, anyway, I am your person in life, and your ghost in death. Now everyone in the clan knows it." Yao looked directly at Xiao Chen and said.
Thousands of people in the Jiuli tribe now know about her relationship with Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen doesn't want her, wouldn't he just die?
"If you don't want me, I'll just die now."
"Yao, don't do that."
Seeing the other party's temper, Xiao Chen didn't know what to say.
"You go out first and wait until I finish taking a shower. Then I will go meet your parents and the clan leader."
Yao then went outside.
Xiao Chen was sitting in the big wooden barrel, really not in the mood to take a bath.
Originally, he saw that the population of the Jiuli tribe was getting smaller and smaller, and there were more diseases, which were naturally caused by incest marriages, so he suggested that these Jiuli tribesmen intermarry with the Miao people outside. Anyway, everyone is similar.
It's just that there may be some cultural differences.
Unexpectedly, now the clan leader Maorang and the elders would thrust this little beauty from the clan into his place.
Should Xiao Chen refuse?
If I stay in Binhai City, how will I deal with it then?
He doesn't even know.
Xiao Chen finished taking a shower, got dressed and came out.
Yao was still walking barefoot outside.
"Where are your shoes?"
"We don't usually wear shoes."
Many children, especially those in rural areas, did not like to wear shoes when they were young, because they would run around in them and take them off, find them nowhere to be found, and be scolded by their parents when they return home.
However, among the people of the Jiuli tribe, Xiao Chen noticed that maybe except for some people who asked the patriarch to wear shoes, others really didn't like wearing shoes.
It's not that they are poor, it's just that they really don't like it.
Especially those who live in the mountains. They have lived here for thousands of years and have long adapted to the life here.
Yao followed Xiao Chen to the place where the Maorang clan chief lived.
"Chief, I want to tell you something."
Chief Maorang saw that Xiao Chen was not wearing their national costume, but it didn't matter.
"Dr. Xiao,
I don’t know what you want to say?”
"This is Miss Yao's situation. I suddenly don't know how to handle it."
"She is yours, so of course she will leave with you."
Xiao Chen’s people?
The problem is that I haven't even touched the other person's hand, how could she be his?
Xiao Chen really couldn't understand it.
Of course, in this case, if you really don't want Yao, then Yao's fate may be very serious.
"Doctor Xiao, are you dissatisfied with Yao? If not, there are other beauties in our clan, you can choose as you like."
"Clan leader, that's really not what I meant."
There are so many bachelors outside now who are envious of Xiao Chen. If it were them, they would definitely not refuse the beautiful woman who came to their door.
"That's enough." Chief Maorang said with a smile.
Xiao Chen knew that there was nothing he could do to talk to the other party.
Maorang is the leader of the clan, and he will stick to his word, and he will definitely not go back on his word.
Xiao Chen could only come out and let Yao take Xiao Chen to meet her parents.
Yao was naturally very happy when she saw that Xiao Chen was willing to meet her parents.
When the two of them arrived a few hundred meters away, they saw a house made of wood and bamboo. It was not very big, and looked a bit like a stilted house in a Miao village.
But, it's not very similar.
There are two floors here, and the first floor is used to store the livestock.
Although the Jiuli people have always been self-sufficient, they also raise their own livestock, including cattle, sheep, and pigs, and occasionally trade with the Miao people outside in exchange for other daily necessities.
These livestock are now raised on the first floor. As soon as Xiao Chen got closer, he smelled the unpleasant smell of feces and urine.
Especially the smell of cow dung is particularly unpleasant.
However, Yao and her family have long been used to it.
"My parents and my eldest brother live upstairs."
Yao took Xiao Chen up.
Soon, after entering, Xiao Chen saw a middle-aged couple and a young man in his twenties.
These three people must know that this is Dr. Xiao.
"Doctor Xiao, you are here." Yao's father said first.
"Hello, uncle. Hello, aunt."
There is no barrier to language communication, so now that Xiao Chen sits down, he can communicate directly.
"The patriarch asked you to hand Yao over to me, are you willing?"
"Dr. Xiao, I
Of course we are willing," Yao's father said.
How could he not want to?
This is what the patriarch and elders mean.
Moreover, he also had the idea of letting his eldest son marry a young Miao outsider, if he could gradually move to the world outside the Jiuli tribe.
Although generations have lived here, daily life is still very inconvenient.
In addition to being quiet here, there is no pressure, but real life is indeed not as comfortable as outside.
"Are you really willing?" Xiao Chen asked.
What age is this? Just a word from the patriarch above, and the couple actually handed over their daughter directly.
"Dr. Xiao, my parents and I are willing for my sister to follow you, but we are afraid that some people in the clan may not agree."
Is there anyone in the clan who disagrees?
"Brother, don't talk nonsense." Yao said directly.
"I do not know what that means?"
However, at this time, before Yao's parents and her eldest brother could say anything, they saw several young men in national costumes coming up aggressively outside.
"I don't agree." Qiongchou said directly.
This young man and Yao are neighbors, so they can be considered childhood sweethearts.
Under normal circumstances, Qiongchou might marry Yao as his wife, but who would have thought that now the tribe stipulates that they can no longer marry among close relatives, but must find other Miao girls to marry outside.
Moreover, the patriarch directly betrothed Yao Xu to Dr. Xiao, so Qiongchou and others were naturally unwilling.
"Who are you?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Dr. Xiao, others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you. I like Yao and there is no way I will let you take Yao away." Qiongchou said directly.
Xiao Chen didn't expect that he would turn out to be Yao's suitor.
"I don't like you, I like Dr. Xiao." Yao said directly.
She doesn't hate this neighbor's eldest brother, but that doesn't mean she likes him.
What's more, since he has a sweetheart like Xiao Chen, he is naturally even less likely to focus on Qiongchou.
"Yao, we are childhood sweethearts, and I want to be with you." Qiongchou said.
Before Xiao Chen said anything, Yao's eldest brother said directly: "Qianchou, you are pretty good in the clan, but are you comparable to Dr. Xiao? If you can't give Yao happiness, don't come here to affect her reputation.
.”
"You, you are greedy for money." Qiongchou looked directly at Yao's parents and eldest brother and said.
