"What are you doing so stupidly? Go tell your wife quickly!"
Old Mrs. Li had a sullen face and pushed him unhappily, feeling that this third son was really useless and could not move like a fool at the critical moment.
"But mother..."
He opened his mouth, a little embarrassed: "If I don't give you a bride price, will this girl be willing to marry?"
"Why don't you want to? With our family's conditions, many girls want to marry! What's more, isn't that a relative? Go tell your wife and let her handle this matter. If you can really marry that money tree into your family, I will
Don’t care about the fact that she can’t give birth to a son, otherwise don’t blame me for kicking him out!”
Li Dong licked his lips. This means that if the wife can handle this matter well, she won't have to worry about not giving birth to a son. But if she can't handle it well, she will be kicked out, right?
He felt a little uneasy, always feeling that this was not a good thing, but he wanted his wife to handle the matter well, so that he could have some face in front of his parents, instead of walking on thin ice like he is now.
He nodded timidly, and then went out to find Yuan Hong'er in the kitchen.
Yuan Hong'er was cooking something for her two daughters. There was nothing good at home, just enough to fill their stomachs, but the two children ate with gusto, with a rare smile on their faces.
Yuan Hong'er put her hands on her cheeks and watched the two sisters eating, feeling a faint sense of happiness in her heart.
After she figured out those things, her mind suddenly became brighter and she was no longer as dull as before. She just felt that there was hope in life again.
In the main room, there was a louder voice and she didn't know what they were talking about. She didn't want to know, and she didn't care. The three of them were enjoying the warmth for a moment in this small kitchen.
Just at this time, Li Dong came over. His expression was a bit indescribable. He couldn't be said to be good, but it wasn't bad either. Yuan Hong'er had a bad feeling, so she stood up and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Eat something or..."
"Let's not talk about that first. Mom has something to ask you to do. If you do it well, I won't care about you not being able to give birth to a son. As long as you live your life in this family, our Li family will not be in trouble anymore.
you."
When Li Dong said this, he didn't sound like a husband talking to his wife, but like a creditor asking for a debt.
Yuan Hong'er looked at him in shock. He had changed a bit on the way back. Why did he just come back for such a short time and then immediately turn back into that fleshless puppet?
As soon as he came in, the two children put down the bowls in their hands with some fear and hid behind Yuan Hong'er silently.
This is their father, but they are so scared.
Yuan Honger's heart was full of disappointment, but in order to let her two children live a good life, she was still very excited about the conditions proposed by Li Dong, so she held back her heartbeat and disappointment and asked: "What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal. It's not that big of a marriage proposal. I think the little niece from your second sister's house is pretty good, so I mentioned it to my parents. They were very satisfied and asked you to go to Zhao's house to propose marriage.
Settle this matter as soon as possible, and your life at home will be easier in the future."
Li Dong was actually a little worried, but he pretended to be calm and talked about the matter calmly.
However, Yuan Hong'er's eyes widened when she heard him say that he was attracted to her sister's niece.
Based on her understanding of this man, he must have fallen in love with Zhao Huanyu rather than Zhao Huanyu's ability to make money.
Of course, everyone else in the Li family must also think so.
Yuan Hong'er was so angry that she had already fallen into this wolf's den, how could she harm her sister's little niece?
She lowered her voice and asked Li Dong: "We just met that little niece for the first time today, how do you know that she is well? Do you know her? Do you know what is going on in her family? How can you tell her family directly?
?”
"Why is it bad? She is so talented, she will be a money tree for the family, and her parents will definitely be very happy! As for the situation in her family, we all know about the Zhao family, and her natal family has nothing to do with it.
Steady, we will be able to handle things better after you come to our house, how great!"
Li Dong was confident and did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.
Yuan Hong'er once again refreshed her understanding of him. She really couldn't understand why Li Dong, a grown man, would care about this like an old woman?
"Li Dong, you are a big man, do you have any conscience for scheming against a little girl like this? Why did Xiaoyu offend you, and you want to harm her like this?"
She yelled at Li Dong with red eyes. Of course, the voice was not too loud. In this family, she did not have enough courage to really quarrel with them.
Li Dong instantly became unhappy: "Why do you mean I'm scheming against a little girl? Our family's conditions are not bad, why would we have wronged her by marrying her? No one in Yatou's family doesn't marry, and marrying anyone is not a marriage. Marrying someone into my family is not a marriage.
What happened to Daqiang?"
Hearing what he said, Yuan Hong'er was so angry that she couldn't breathe smoothly. She tried to calm down her emotions and asked, holding back her anger: "Okay, even if Da Qiang wants to marry Xiao Yu, what's the mother's attitude and how much is the bride price?"
When talking about the bride price, Li Dong felt a little guilty. He even felt that something was wrong, but he did not dare to contradict me.
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mom said that he is a relative from your mother's side, and we are related to each other, so there is no need to pay a bride price. You can definitely settle the marriage if you come forward."
Yuan Honger:???
Is this a waste of money? The Li family really dares to think about it!
She looked at Li Dong with a sarcastic face, feeling that this family was really interesting.
I thought it was a relative from her natal family, so I asked her to come forward and say that if it was done, it would be a matter of course. If it was not done, it would be her incompetence.
This family is very good at planning!
Yuan Hong'er was so angry that she couldn't speak. Even if the Li family generously took out a few taels of silver as a betrothal gift for an outstanding girl like Xiaoyu, she might not be able to marry her, not to mention that this family still wanted to marry her.
A white wolf with empty gloves, how dare you?
"Li Dong, I am your daughter-in-law. If your mother blames such a completely unreliable thing on me, won't you defend me? You want to marry someone else's girl without giving her a gift. Do you think you can do that in the world?
Is there such a good thing? Even if it were me, no matter how much your parents objected at the beginning, there was still a betrothal gift when you entered the house. Although it was not much, it was better than nothing. You yourself also know how outstanding this little girl is, and yet you still
If you think of nothing, your whole family has lost their minds!"
"How do you talk like a bitch? What do you mean by a white wolf with empty gloves? Why do you say it so ugly!"
Li Dong's face was furious, but he still had a tough mouth.
