Chapter 140 Marriage is a foregone conclusion
This is the sign of getting a trap immediately. Xiaolian's father burst into tears with tears in his big hand, and his tone became even more painful: "The rule passed down from our family that his daughter can not see her off when she gets married, but a set of cabinets with legs must be bought. This is a sign that the daughter I took to live a good life in her husband's house. Although I don't have money to stay with her, since the marriage is about to be together, I will quickly find a job. I have to buy the cabinets with legs for Xiaolian, and then let's make a decision!"
This proposal is appropriate. In this era, the people's homes are still muddy. The cabinets for clothes must be equipped with four short legs to prevent moisture and mice. The dowry of a woman can also be associated with the auspicious sign of "taking roots in her husband's house". Xiaowu's father nodded repeatedly, but knew that his son's heart was burning, and he was also looking forward to marrying his daughter-in-law before the New Year!
Seeing Xiao Wu Niang smiling and opening the cloth towels wrapped around her with layers of smiles, a pair of white jade bracelets emitted fluorescent light, and it was so beautifully put on Miss Xiaolian's wrists, Xiao Wu's father became even more courageous.
"My dear brother, since both of us look suitable, why are you still concerned about these false names? I don't look good at your face when I see you, so don't go to work and earn money to buy a cupboard. Our family will pay for the money for the dowry!" Xiaowu's father said a big talk, and looked at his wife carefully, and found that there was no major fluctuation in his expression. He only slightly twitched the muscles on his lower body, which made him even more angry.
Didn't you see the shining gratitude in your son's eyes? As a father, he finally made the decision! Or just say it. When it comes to major events, you still have to listen to men!
Everyone in the room was happy. The marriage had been negotiated. The matchmaker Li was even more excited and slapped his thigh with harshness: "I'll say, Xiaowu's parents are the most quick-witted person. Xiaowu is the only son, and no one can steal the family business. Xiaolian's father is just waiting for his daughter to enjoy the happiness! Since both families have no objection, then I, the media protection team, will tell you the bride price and deposit--"
Xiaolian's father immediately interrupted the matchmaker Li: "Sister Li, don't mention any bride price deposit. The in-laws are loyal and want to prepare Xiaolian's dowry. I have already prepared the cabinet. It's a good wood. It costs sixty taels of silver. We can no longer ask for the in-laws' bride price and deposit. Just the sixty taels of silver, I'm afraid it's not easy for the in-laws to take it out at once and live at home. Alas, it's hard to save a few dollars-"!
"What kind of cabinet is that? Why is it so expensive?" Xiaowu's aunt was shocked. It's still honest that people don't need bride gifts and deposits. They only buy the cabinets promised by your house, which is 60 taels of silver. The farmer can get a wife, and it's only about twenty taels to cover them all. What's more, we also brought a pair of white jade bracelets in?
Xiaolian's father was even more cramped, and his big palm covered Huang Yangyang's face. He said in a choked voice: "A good set of dowry for cabinets is a ancestral rule. It's all my fault that I'm too poor and incompetent to earn it for Xiaolian. Let's wait and mention this marriage. I must not be wronged by my daughter--"
"Mom--!" Xiao Wu called out again, and he twisted and lingered in his mother's heart.
Matchmaker Li slapped again: "Hey! She is still counting on letting the two children get married before the New Year, and now it will be delayed until the New Year's Eve-"
Xiaowu's wife was defeated again by her son's call. She gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and made up her mind: "In-law, Sister Li, I will give you the money in the cabinet immediately. The marriage between the two children will be scheduled for the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month the day after tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?"
I can't bear to let my child go to trap the wolf! Xiao Wu Niang has already put all the jade bracelets heirlooms on to the girl. If she can't take out the sixty taels of silver, the marriage will still not be reached, so she can only grit her teeth and cut her flesh and will be cruel to her heart.
"Okay!" Xiaolian's father's eyes shone: "It's good to be honest. My father and daughter rushed to the town to buy the cabinets. The day after tomorrow, I will follow Xiaolian into your house. I, a father, can go home with peace of mind. My daughter promises you a wealthy family, I'm relieved!"
Xiaolian stood up slowly and looked back again to deepen the mark for Xiao Wu. Her sleeves covered Xiao Wu's baby - a pair of white jade bracelets.
Matchmaker Li also followed him out, and did not forget to help him with all his duties: "Dad Xiaolian, although the marriage is in a hurry, the bride's wedding dress is always done, so it's not too late?"
Xiaolian's father looked a little embarrassed, and he forced his face to bow to Xiaowu's father with a smile: "My daughter still has two old clothes to replace. At that time, the in-laws should not dislike the shabby children!"
The result was that the clever and clever Xiaowu quickly took out two taels of silver from his arms and gave it to his father-in-law. When he thought that he could have a bed with his favorite girl the day after tomorrow, he would be willing to cut off his head, let alone two taels of silver in his private house?
Xiaowu's father suddenly felt a little worried at this moment, would his son follow his wife's arrangements in the future like him?
Even Xiaowu Niang couldn't tell what it felt like. The marriage was a little rushed, and there was something wrong. Seeing that the three distinguished guests were about to leave, her throat tightened and she suddenly shouted: "Hey——".
The father and daughter didn't hear it at all, and walked faster under their feet.
Xiao Wu Niang hurried a few steps and grabbed matchmaker Li's sleeve, with a hurried face.
"What's wrong with Grandma Xiaolian? She can't bear it anymore, right? Hold on, and the day after tomorrow, I'll send a sedan chair to my house to pick up the bride. The old woman will definitely clean up your house like a fairy!" Matchmaker Li smiled and her face was pleated. The makeup was sandwiched in the pleats and turned into mud. She had to wait until it was completely loose before it fell off.
Xiaowu Niang was so thrusting in her heart. She didn't understand the sixth sense, so she had to grab matchmaker Li's arm hard and in a trembling voice, "Sister Li, you have to take good care of our Xiaolian girl--take good care--".
Her ancestral white jade bracelet, all the family's assets, left the yard like this-
Where is A Yuan, who is anxious, right now?
She saw that things were changing drastically, and she was suffering from insufficient evidence to correct the father and daughter. With just a pair of eyes, no one would believe her words, right?
Only when Bai Laosan was found, the testimony between the two people should be more powerful, but where is Bai Laosan's shadow?
Could it be that little kid embezzled five cents but didn't do anything for himself? Or was Bai Laosan not at home at all and ran to another place, and the little kid could not be found?
A Yuan ran to the main street to look at the third brother. However, he didn't wait for the third brother, but saw matchmaker Li and Miss Xiaolian sitting in a ox cart. Xiaolian's father held the bull whip in his hand and turned out of the alley with a "crying" creaking.
Behind, there were a few very young kids jumping and jumping and clapping their hands and shouting: "New wife, new wife--".
There was a young man behind the little kid, looking foolishly at the girl who had been covered in the face on the ox cart. The light green figure looked like a painting of ink from Jiangnan, fresh and slightly melancholy.
A Yuan gritted his teeth, ran a few steps and crossed the ox cart, and stood at the center of the road.
"That - Xiaowu's father-in-law, right? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You finally come here and go to my house as a guest?" A Yuan felt that his expression was almost flattering at this moment. The matchmaker and Xiaolian on the ox cart both turned around. Behind the scenes, Xiaolian's eyes couldn't see clearly at all, and she seemed to knock on the bottom of the ox cart with her hand.
Xiaolian's father suddenly raised the bull whip and with a "bang" sound, he hit the old bull heavily. The owner of the bull cart, Matchmaker Li, felt a thrust in his heart, and the old bull exerted his four hooves and rushed straight towards A Yuan.
Fortunately, this new body was quick-witted and out of instinct, A Yuan did not leave the road where the ox cart was passed, although he rolled to the side of the road in a very indecent posture.
As it turned out, the old cow could also burst out with the power of a BMW under the whip. When Xiaowu stepped forward, A Yuan had already run out of the entrance of the village and rushed towards the wider space when he stood upright from the ground.
"How are you doing, boss? Didn't you fall? My father-in-law must have been accidentally—" Xiao Wu rubbed his hands and asked, but he had not forgotten to explain to his beloved's father.
A Yuan looked at another stupid boy sadly and asked in a cold voice: "Xiao Wu, if I tell you that the father and daughter are liars, do you believe it? Can you get them back immediately?"
"What did you say about the boss?" Xiao Wu's body suddenly took a step back, his eyes full of injuries and doubts: "Xiao Lian is such a good girl. Those eyes can tell that she is a good person at a glance. What's wrong with you today?"
A Yuan smiled bitterly and waved her hand: "I knew that no one believed it after saying it. Fortunately, it was just a look at each other and there would be no big loss. Xiaowu, listen to me and arrange for someone to go to matchmaker Li's house to stare and find out what the father and daughter came from to get engaged."
In order to wait for Bai Laosan, she missed the most harmonious and loving farce staged by Xiao Wu's family.
Sister, do you think it was in your previous life that you had to go on a 25,000-mile Long March in your first blind date? This is ancient times, and you can only decide your life for one time. In more cases, men and women can marry you if you never meet in one meeting!
Two red clouds rose on Xiaowu's face, and he understood the boss's words and deeds that had been blocking the marriage: "Well, don't worry about the boss. My parents have already decided on the day of getting married with Xiaolian's father. Nothing will happen the day after tomorrow."
