Chen Dahai's expression froze, "You look down on my family's decline and are looking for an excuse not to get married, right?"
It's true that I don't want to get married, and it's true that I'm looking for excuses, but it's really not that I look down on the Chen family's poverty.
"It has nothing to do with family background. Xiao Qi came from the south to join his cousin. He has no relatives at home and doesn't have any money, but this kid is good to Banxia and we made a decision a few years ago." Bai Tian said hurriedly.
When the marriage was directly discussed, the girl's family was not easy to talk to. Bai Banxia's face felt a little hot and she quietly looked at her father and then at Qi Zhen.
"Hmph, what's the matter? It's been settled long ago. It won't be another Bai He who does immoral things and ruins his health early on, right?" Chen Dahai said angrily.
"The sea!" Mr. Bai shouted angrily. Because he screamed too quickly, he coughed violently. The old lady hurriedly persuaded him and patted him on the back.
The rest of the Bai family didn't know about Bai He, so Bai Shan stepped forward to grab Chen Dahai by the collar, but was stopped by Chen Liang.
When Bai Shenggen saw that Chen Liang was about to attack his father, he rushed over and grabbed Chen Liang's arm.
"Our family entertains you so well, but you actually say such things, have your conscience been eaten by a dog?" the eldest uncle yelled angrily.
"Okay, okay, you are bullying our grandfather and grandson by taking advantage of the large number of people. Old man Bai, are you denying the old score? Are you still shameless?" Chen Dahai shouted angrily.
Mr. Bai was coughing so much that he couldn't speak. The old lady hurriedly said: "My head has never said no. He has said that we can't be the master of Banxia girl. We will try our best to compensate you and find a good marriage for Chen Liang."
Isn’t it possible?”
"Your grandson is very good, but he has no feelings for my daughter, so why force it? If you weren't really kind to the Bai family, I would have given you two slaps in the face for what I said just now." Zhang Lingzhi.
Said angrily.
Chen Dahai suddenly sat on the ground, beat his chest and cried bitterly.
"I'm useless. My wife left early and the marriage promised to my son is gone. Your daughter said she got pregnant before we were married. Doesn't she think that the Jin family is rich and looks down on our Chen family? Now my grandson has fallen in love with your granddaughter.
It’s another bunch of excuses. In the final analysis, they just don’t want to fulfill their promises and look down on our Chen family.”
Bai Banxia was dumbfounded. She had never seen women acting up and crying in the countryside, but this was the first time she had seen an old man acting like this.
Mr. Bai's face turned red and he struggled to say: "Cough...cough...don't talk nonsense..."
"Why did I talk nonsense? You are afraid of being embarrassed and dare not admit it. When you promised to marry Bai He to my son, it turned out that she was pregnant with the Jin family's child. You can only feel sorry for my family." Chen Dahai.
said.
Except for Bai Banxia's family, who already knew and digested the news, everyone else looked at the old man in surprise. No one expected that Bai He would do something like this back then.
The room fell silent for a while. If the matter spread, it would be very detrimental to the reputation of the Bai family. It would be difficult to kiss the children who have not been kissed.
Now Erlang has not said they are married, and he has to take the scientific examination. Although this kind of thing is an old thing, it will definitely have an impact if it is revealed. Even if he is admitted as a scholar, the He family is afraid that he will not want to marry his daughter to such a person.
But if you don't have faith, you are a family with bad family traditions.
In addition, Sanlang and Xiaoyu didn't even talk about getting married, so it was difficult to find a good wife.
There are also Pinellia ternata and Xiaocao. Although Pinellia ternata said that she did not want to find her husband's family and Xiaocao was still young, she could not avoid being gossiped about.
"If you, the Bai family, don't give me an explanation today, I will drag this matter out. Anyway, you are not trustworthy, so don't blame me for not cherishing our old friendship!" Chen Dahai said, scratching his neck.
"Dahai, all your mistakes are my fault, I kowtow to you." The old man struggled to kneel on the ground, and then kowtowed to Chen Dahai. The old lady was holding him beside her, but she couldn't help him, so she just knelt down too.
Let’s kowtow together next time.
Bai Tian and Bai Shan hurried to help the two old people, but the old man cried and said: "It's all my fault. I promised others but couldn't do it. I didn't take care of my daughter. It's my fault!"
This made Chen Dahai show a hint of reluctance, and his voice became much softer, "Brother, why are you doing this?"
Suddenly, a small figure rushed into the house from the yard and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"My sister is not the only daughter in the family, there is also me! My sister has already agreed to marry her brother. If you want to give the Chen family a daughter-in-law, marry me!" Xiaocao said loudly, but her trembling voice revealed the nervousness in her heart at the moment.
.
Bai Banxia hurriedly pulled her up, and said a little angry and distressed: "Don't mess around. How can you get married when you are so old?"
Xiaocao started crying, "I don't want them to embarrass my sister, and I don't want my grandpa and grandma to be sad. I am also the daughter of the family, so I should contribute."
This little girl who is just six years old after the Chinese New Year is so sensible that it makes people feel sad.
The old lady also started crying, "Good boy, don't say stupid things. You are still young and it is not your turn to bear this responsibility."
At first, the old lady didn't like Xiaocao very much. She mainly disliked that she was a girl who lost money. Her son had no male sons, so what was the use of adopting a little girl?
Later, she gradually came to accept Xiaocao. In addition, Xiaocao has a loving personality and usually likes this girl. But if she really treats her as her granddaughter, the old lady can't do it.
But at this moment, the old lady's heart also felt warm.
"No, no, this girl is so young. It will take ten years for her to grow up and pass the family. I am still anxious to have a grandson." Chen Dahai also objected.
"Grandpa Chen, you are anxious to have a grandson, and I can't have one either. Why don't we help your family settle down, and then ask someone to find a good marriage for Chen Liang, and we will also provide the betrothal gift. In the future, we will take care of you more in the village."
"Yes." Bai Banxia said, "You just want to find a good wife for your grandson, but it doesn't have to be me."
At this time, Chen Liang suddenly spoke, "What if I said it must be you? Don't blame my grandpa, it was me who said I must marry Banxia."
Bai Banxia's mouth opened in shock, "Why?"
"Have you forgotten?" Chen Liang stared at her, "You saved me when you were a child, and I told my grandfather that I would marry you in the future. However, my parents fell ill one after another, and it was not the time to talk about marriage. I found
After people inquired about you, they said you were too fat to get married, so I felt relieved, but I didn’t want to wait until we saw you again. You have changed a lot."
Wasn't it about the past when she was a child? But it was useless in her memory, so how could she know?
"Are you mistaken? I really have no impression." Bai Banxia shook his head and said.
"When I was eight years old, I came to your village to play and fell into the river. You went down to the river and rescued me. However, I choked on the water and got a fever, so my grandfather took me away without having time to thank you."
Chen Liang was a little sad, as if she was sad that she couldn't remember the past.
Bai Banxia tried hard to recall it, but she really didn't have this part of the memory in her mind. Could it be that her predecessor was too young, so she forgot about it?
