Yuan Hong'er sneered and said: "Whoever wants to go to this kind of troublesome thing, I won't go anyway! That's my sister's niece from her husband's family, what does it have to do with me? She's nothing like your Li family.
How can you have the nerve to say that you are a relative when you have no relationship? If you still want to rely on this relationship and not give a bride price, I think you are crazy!"
Her voice was a little loud as she spoke, but at this time she didn't care about it at all.
Zhao Huanyu was her mother's lifesaver, and she felt guilty and didn't know how to repay her. The Li family wanted to cause trouble for her. If she really did this, wouldn't it be repaying kindness with hatred?
Although she, Yuan Hong'er, is not a good person, she is unwilling to do such immoral things. She will feel uneasy and cannot sleep well.
"What are you talking about? Keep your voice down! If your mother hears you, see if she can beat you!"
Li Dong anxiously covered her mouth to prevent her from talking anymore.
She originally wanted to ignore it and have a big quarrel, but when she thought of the two daughters beside her who were looking at her eagerly, she immediately took a deep breath.
After she calmed down her mood, she ignored Li Dong and went directly to the main room.
A large group of people were warming themselves by the fire in the hall. At this time, they were talking about the marriage between Daqiang and Zhao Huanyu. In their opinion, this marriage was already a certainty. As long as Yuan Honger went to negotiate the matter, they would soon be able to do it.
Marry Zhao Huanyu into the family.
Seeing Yuan Hong'er come in, everyone rarely looked down upon her as usual. The eldest daughter-in-law even held her hand very affectionately and said with a smile: "Third brother and sister, I will leave the marriage of my family's Daqiang to you. If
If you can really handle this matter well, sister-in-law, I will definitely thank you very much!"
The second daughter-in-law also hurriedly came over to hold her hand and said the same thing: "If the Zhao girl doesn't like Daqiang, she can introduce him to our second strongman. After all, they are all brothers from the same family, and they have reached the age of marriage.
, the rich water should not flow to outsiders!"
The eldest daughter-in-law was immediately dissatisfied and started to quarrel again, but the old lady interrupted in advance: "Okay, are you two embarrassed? Leave me alone!"
After saying that, she looked at Yuan Hong'er and asked: "What brings you here? The third child should have made it clear to you, right?"
"Let's make it clear, let me go to Zhao's house to say goodbye."
"Now that you know it, go quickly. If you go there at this time, you might be able to have a dinner and save some food for your family."
Mrs. Li's voice was as cold as ice water, cooling Yuan Hong'er's heart.
During the Chinese New Year, her mother-in-law actually asked her to go to someone else's house for dinner, rather than go to the house of the girl she had promised to marry.
"Are you in such a hurry? It's almost dark today and the clothes in the yard haven't been washed yet. I'll go do the laundry first and then go there tomorrow."
Yuan Hong'er was a little embarrassed. There was still some distance between this village and Changshui Village. It would have been late at night every time, right? The snowy road was difficult to walk on and it was dangerous at night. She was actually a little scared.
And she knew that Li Dong would not accompany her.
"Aren't the clothes washed by those two girls? What are you worrying about? Now that you have decided, settle it as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."
Mrs. Li's tone was firm and unyielding, and she didn't give Yuan Hong'er a chance to breathe. She added: "If you finish the matter tonight, you can let the two girls go to bed early tonight and keep their clothes until
You can wash it tomorrow morning."
What an ironic statement, but in Yuan Hong'er's eyes, it was a gift. As long as she didn't embarrass her two daughters, she seemed to be able to do anything.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
She smiled bitterly and finally nodded.
However, she came to see Mrs. Li because she had something serious to say, so she turned around and said: "Mom, Xiaoyu is my sister's husband's niece. I'm not very familiar with her. This is the first time today.
When we met, the Zhao family doted on the girl and raised her well. I thought that she probably couldn't work, and she might have to be taken care of by us if she got married. Also, I heard Dongzi said that they wouldn't give a bride price, so the Zhao family
If you have money, you won't care about the bride price, but you don't want your daughter to be wronged anyway. In order for Da Qiang's marriage to be settled as soon as possible, I'd better give it some thought to the bride price."
She didn't think that Zhao Huanyu would marry into the Li family, but she should have the proper etiquette. She couldn't ruin the girl's reputation like this, so she had to fight for what she had to fight for.
When she said this, Mrs. Li's face had completely darkened. She was originally asked to come forward because of her close relationship with the Zhao family, but before she even went there, she had already opened the door for the other party.
Okay, whose family is she from?
Mrs. Li always felt that the third daughter-in-law's heart was not in her family, and now it seems that is indeed the case.
Just as he was about to say something, the eldest daughter-in-law said: "The third brother and sister are right. The more this family cares about the girl, the less we can just go there casually. For the sake of the good life of our family in the future, we should pay some betrothal gifts.
Third brother and sister, please go and ask the other party what they mean first, and then we can discuss it when you come back."
The eldest daughter-in-law is still somewhat reliable. After all, it is her son who is involved. She does not want to do anything too bad. She has even thought that if Zhao Huanyu is really capable, she will have to go back to her parents' home to borrow money.
The gift money is enough.
When you marry your daughter-in-law, who is like a cash cow, will you still worry about having no money to spend?
Mrs. Li did not approve of the eldest daughter-in-law's behavior, but the eldest daughter-in-law still had some say in the family. She was not very good at refuting, so she acquiesced.
Yuan Hong'er finally felt more at ease, nodded, and said: "Then I'll go to the door now. I can't go empty-handed, right?"
"Third daughter-in-law, don't go too far! I'm just asking you to check out the situation. I'm not sure whether it will work. You're both giving a gift and asking for a betrothal gift. Whose family are you from?"
Mrs. Li couldn't bear it any longer and scolded Yuan Hong'er.
"Mom, I am doing this for Daqiang! If we give the Zhao family a good impression, won't the chances be greater? That girl from the Zhao family is really good-looking and very capable. My mother's life depends on it.
She rescued her..."
Yuan Hong'er felt a little aggrieved, but she never stopped talking. She just wanted to let the Li family know that they were interested in Zhao Huanyu.
Daqiang, who was sitting next to him, had already begun to get excited. He hurriedly said: "Grandma, I think the third aunt is right. You must not come empty-handed when you come to the door! This is a major event in my life. You can't mess it up for me.
!”
Li Daqiang is the eldest grandson of the Li family, and he is usually the most favored. Even if the tone of his words is not very good now, Mrs. Li is reluctant to say anything wrong about him.
Old Man Li on the side finally spoke and said, "Then bring ten duck eggs."
