Gu Nan particularly agreed with the village chief's idea, "Yes, let him wait for a few days."
It was already afternoon, and Gu Nan said to Mr. Nie, "Grandpa, let's leave first. You can stay at my master's house. I will come back tomorrow."
Mr. Nie looked at several patients and felt a little tired. He nodded, "Okay, let's go."
Gu Nan and Lu Shengmin returned to Jinshui Village.
The village chief stayed at Nie Yun's house and chatted with Mr. Nie.
At this time, Jiang Dajia.
Jiang Dahai's daughter-in-law was very uneasy because of the village chief's last words before leaving, for fear of missing out on the marriage, "Master, I think you should relent quickly and ask for less money. Three thousand is too much, and people marry two people."
One daughter-in-law is enough."
Jiang Xue also said in a weird voice beside him, "Yes, the village chief has already said that he will introduce his wife and niece to Xu Zheng, not to mention three thousand, I see, I won't get a single cent."
Jiang Dahai touched his chin and was thinking. When his wife and daughter quarreled, he lost his temper with a straight face, "What are you arguing about?"
He narrowed his eyes and said, "I was wondering, where is that dead girl Jiang Ping now? The Lu family must have hidden her."
Jiang Dahai's daughter-in-law said, "Didn't you go to Jinshui Village and inquire about it several times? Jiang Ping is not in their village at all. She must have gone to work outside. When we left this town, our eyes were completely dark, and we couldn't find him in the southeast, northwest or northwest.
, it is simply impossible to find that girl."
Although Lu Shengmin did not admit it, Jiang Ping's daughter-in-law thought that Jiang Ping most likely went to the city to work with that man named Xu Zheng. At this time, she was very anxious, "Besides, what's the use of finding someone now? If you delay it any longer, you'll be in trouble."
Once she comes back with a big belly, we won’t get a penny out of it, and she will be laughed at by villages all over the place, so just let it go if you like it.”
This kind of thing happened in the next village.
My daughter went to work in the Southern Electronics Factory, but when she came back with a big belly, her parents lost face.
Her family Jiang Ping is so stupid that she might be pregnant outside now.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Lu family to suddenly come to propose marriage.
Fortunately, the Lu family still has some conscience. If they picked up a daughter-in-law for nothing without saying a word, and didn't give her a cent as a gift after the child was born, they would have nothing to do with her.
Jiang Xue saw that her father was obsessed with money and refused to let go. She urged her to persuade her, "Dad, please don't ask for more gifts. Let's become relatives with the Lu family first. The Lu family has good conditions. If Jiang Ping marries Gu Nan's brother-in-law, we will have more opportunities in the future."
Give Jiang Ping some advice and ask her to tell Gu Nan to help us more. If Jiang Ping goes to the city with Gu Nan, we can also follow him to see the world. You have to plan for the long term and don't make a one-time deal."
Jiang Ping has such a weak temper and has been manipulated by them since she was a child. As long as the whole family has a good attitude towards her, they will definitely continue to manipulate her.
Jiang Dahai’s wife immediately agreed,
"We, Xiaoxue, are still smart. We have to think in the long term. Haven't you heard Jiang Yajie show off? Gu Nan's own father runs a factory and does business, and he has a lot of money. When that damn girl Gu Nan sees that we are like enemies, she becomes like Jiang Ping.
Dear, from now on we have to let Jiang Ping speak good words to us in the middle."
Jiang Dahai was finally persuaded by his wife and daughter, and he planned to keep things going for a long time.
He hesitated and nodded, "Okay, then it's two thousand, the same price as Gu Nan."
........
When the village chief came out of Nie Yun's house, it was already dinner time. He and Mr. Nie had a very pleasant chat. If Nie Yun hadn't looked at him and reminded him to go home for dinner, he could still have talked about fifty cents.
When I got home, Jiang Dahai was waiting at home.
Seeing Jiang Dahai come to the door, the village chief raised his lips slightly and put up his posture behind his hands.
Jiang Dahai waited for a long time, looking anxious, "Village Chief, why did you come back?"
The village chief rolled his eyes slightly and started telling lies casually, "I went to the child's uncle's house and came back late."
Jiang Dahai was shocked when he heard this.
Is the village chief so fast?
He quickly stated the purpose of his visit, "Village Chief, I came here to tell you that I agree with Jiang Ping, and I don't want the three thousand betrothal gift."
The village chief rolled his eyes secretly.
He knows best the virtues of the villagers in his own village.
Sure enough, he could make him relax with just one word.
The village chief sat on the edge of the kang and rolled up a cigarette for himself. He didn't even raise his eyelids and said in a calm tone, "Really? Sorry, it's late. I have already talked to the child's uncle. I heard it was for Teacher Lu."
I was very happy to introduce my daughter-in-law, and agreed immediately, and the bride price also followed suit.
Teacher Lu is an intellectual, and his family is in good condition. The eldest son works in the city. Everything in the family belongs to the younger son. There will be no need to separate the family in the future. With these conditions, who wouldn’t want to marry a girl?"
The village chief's wife had just cooked dinner, but because Jiang Dahai was there, she didn't put it on the table. She heard her husband making up lies in front of Jiang Dahai, so she came out to smooth things over, "My niece is still working outside. Have you ever found a partner?"
Anyway, why don't you introduce Jiang Ping first."
Her niece had written a letter as early as last month, saying that she had met a partner outside, and he also went out to work here. Her old man should not slap her in the face.
The village chief looked at Jiang Dahai and snorted coldly, "I would like to introduce him, but his bride price is ridiculously high, and the Lu family is not willing to do it."
Jiang Dahai hurriedly changed his words, "I don't want three thousand anymore. Village chief, please give the Lu family a message. It's just two thousand, the same as what Gu Nan was married to."
The village chief was very contemptuous of Jiang Dahai's behavior, "Are you buying and selling donkeys and horses? Are you still bargaining?"
"Besides, why do you want to imitate Jiang Daming? He went to jail, and you want to go in too?"
The village chief taught him a lesson, softened his tone, and did Jiang Dahai's ideological work, "Let me tell you, since you are sincere and want to make this marriage happen, let's have a good talk and I will act as a matchmaker for you two. According to our
The official price of Shiliba Village and the bride price of one thousand two hundred and twenty are too high, right? In other towns, the price is eight hundred and eighty."
When Jiang Dahai heard what the village chief said, his face immediately fell.
The village chief continued, "How many people are cursing Jiang Daming for extorting betrothal gifts? Some people came to me to report. If Jiang Daming hadn't gone in, I would have asked him to return the extra money to the Lu family. You, ten million
Don't imitate him, know how to follow the crowd, don't go against the big guys, there are so many older young people in the village waiting to get a wife, and your Jiang family has set a precedent, and you have to pay a bride price."
He dropped more than half way down at once, and Jiang Dahai felt like his flesh was being cut.
He said calmly, "I have to go back and think about it and discuss it with my family."
The village chief did not rush him, but quietly put pressure on him.
"Think slowly, my uncle is also waiting for a letter. I have to go to Jinshui Village tomorrow morning to discuss with Teacher Lu. If he is willing to marry his uncle's daughter, nothing will happen to you. Your family will miss out.
This is a good marriage, don't blame me in the future for not being a matchmaker for your daughter."
