Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 222: It would be great if Xiao Qi were my daughter
Chapter 222: It would be great if Xiao Qi were my daughter
"Wow! Although I knew Lao Li's family was rich, I didn't expect them to be so rich!"
"so envious."
"What did Gong Qiqi do in his last life? How come he is so lucky?"
"Hey! No wonder I went to the matchmaker in the morning, and Aunt Lin said that my daughter-in-law has decided to write it together. Xiaoqi is the one who fell in love with her."
"Uncle, if I marry Xiaoqi, I will have nothing to worry about for the rest of my life!"
"It would be great if Xiaoqi was my daughter."
All kinds of envious and jealous voices came from outside the courtyard wall.
Lin Tao ignored it and waited to see what Gong Chengliang thought.
She felt a little unsure!
Although Wang Qiuyue mentioned it before, it was just Wang Qiuyue's idea.
Could it be that Gong Chengliang thought her mother-in-law was difficult and was afraid that his daughter would suffer if she married her?
While he was deep in thought, Gong Chengliang took the quilt from her hand and said, "My family has accepted the betrothal gift. Let's go back and see how the day goes and get the wedding done. No money is needed."
Not only Lin Tao thought she heard wrongly, but probably everyone present thought they heard wrongly.
Outside the courtyard wall, someone whispered: "Is my uncle sick? When other people marry their daughters, they want as much as they can get. Why shouldn't my uncle just refuse?"
"That's it! What's wrong, uncle?"
Lin Tao looked at the silver in her hand and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Ah, yes, yes, there is no need for so much money. If we really accept this money, it will not be like selling our daughter!! We don't want anything, we just want San'er to treat my daughter well."
Wang Qiuyue clapped her hands and explained.
Lin Tao also didn't expect that Gong Chengliang could do this for his daughter.
This is silver! If it were copper coins, she might not be surprised at all. Maybe there are not many people who can resist the temptation of silver!
Sometimes, when someone else is talking and you don't answer, the atmosphere will be particularly awkward.
No, the onlookers outside the courtyard started muttering again.
"Do you think it's because I don't dare to accept it? After all, the man's betrothal gift has been accepted, and the girl has to be given a decent dowry when she gets married. Could it be that I can't afford the dowry, so I just don't accept the betrothal gift?"
"I think so! But having said that, you don't have to have a dowry! Even if some people have it, they just pretend that they don't have it! Who is willing to spend money to marry their daughter? Marrying a daughter-in-law is more like it."
"Okay, you people! I think this is the uncle! I have been upright all my life. If I don't bear the name of selling my daughter, I still have to be criticized by you?"
Everyone was ashamed and shut up.
These words spoke to Lin Tao's heart.
Gong Chengliang is a person who values reputation more than life.
On the other hand, she failed to understand Gong Chengliang and was ashamed.
"Okay! It's settled then. Once Qiqi passes the door, I will hand these coins into Qiqi's hands and use them as a family member! It's a little thought from me as a mother-in-law."
There were loud cheers outside the hospital: "Aunt Lin is awesome!"
"Oh, why is my daughter so unlucky?"
"That's not nonsense! If you want a daughter with such a fate, you must first be as upright as your uncle. Or as the old saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice give birth to burrows in the ground!"
The old man turned around and left in anger.
In the courtyard, Wang Qiuyue took her into the main room and discussed the date of marriage with Gong Chengliang.
"I think we shouldn't pick our days deliberately! Just prepare for two or three days and get a new house, that's it. People like us don't have to pay attention to anything."
Wang Qiuyue smiled brightly and looked several years younger.
If you take that sentence seriously, you will be in high spirits when happy events occur.
Lin Tao was not so carried away that she disrespected Gong Chengliang and his wife.
"Brother Gong, if you have any opinions, just mention them. Matchmakers, wedding cakes, etc., although it's hard to find them now, I will try my best to find them."
Gong Chengliang shook his head.
"It's useless to show that, it's meaningless. I only have one request. On the day of the wedding, San'er will come to your door in person to carry you. I know your family has horses, but we are not a family that covets wealth. To tell you the truth, I
I know that San'er has Zhou in his heart. What I need is his willingness to let San'er come to carry someone out."
Lin Tao felt this was very necessary.
"I, Gong Chengliang, have only had a few children in my life. Xiaoqi is my daughter. Although my family is poor, I have grown up with her in my hands. What we want is for Xiaoqi to marry a reliable and younger child.
A man with seven hearts. As a father, this is my last defense for my daughter."
Wang Qiuyue reached out and patted Gong Chengliang.
He leaned over and whispered: "Old man, we are marrying our daughter, and we are not asking people to come to our door! Since ancient times, men have been superior to women, so asking a grown man to come to your door to carry someone out is a bit too much."
Even if a wealthy family is very particular about getting married, it has never been heard of the groom's official coming to the house to marry.
"It's not too much. So, does Brother Gong have any ideas for this day?"
Gong Chengliang shook his head: "Poor people don't have those things to pay attention to."
"What about this wedding banquet? How many tables does Brother Gong think is suitable?"
"Sister, when my daughter entered your house, she came to live in your house. The world is difficult now, so why bother to do those extravagant and wasteful things. Let's just sit together and have a lively reunion dinner."
Wang Qiuyue also echoed Gong Chengliang's words.
It has to be said that Gong Chengliang's love for his daughter is reflected in every word. He did not hold a banquet because he thought that after his daughter got married, his husband's family would live a better life.
Lin Tao truly admired such a person from the bottom of her heart.
Not to mention the current age where sons are preferred over daughters, even in the previous life, there were few fathers like this.
Gong Qiqi is really lucky.
"Okay! When Brother Gong decides on that day, we will do as Brother Gong says."
Lin Tao nodded, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Sometimes, it is precisely this feeling of mutual understanding that can make life less confusing.
So, the six silver ingots she brought were buried intact back in the soil at the corner of the kang.
After stepping on the soil, looking at the imprint of the soil, I simply moved the wardrobe over and put it away.
She still understands the principle of keeping wealth secret.
It's not that she's afraid of thieves coming to her door, she just doesn't want to kill anyone where she lives.
That night, when the family was sitting together for dinner, they talked about the third child getting married.
Mrs. Zhu was so anxious that she asked Mrs. Xu: "Sister-in-law, this new daughter-in-law is here, should I give her something?"
"It's natural for people to call you sister-in-law."
Xiao He smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't you want to give it to me?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have anything that I can use! I'm not like you. I can change into decent clothes no matter what. I don't want to lose that person without being able to use it."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? Just ask your eldest brother to make a table, a chair or something like that. Isn't there a shortage of new things in the new house?"
"Yes, yes, we sisters, each of us can make some. The new sister-in-law will definitely be happy." Xiao Wu said.
The two elders were also overjoyed. The old lady wiped her head and kept repeating: "It's almost time to have a grandson-in-law, and a great-grandson will be soon too!"
Perhaps the only thing in the old man's mind is the word "prosperity". He hasn't even gotten married yet, but he is already thinking about having children.
Li Yi tried to please Mr. Zhu, patting himself on the back and saying that he would take care of her.
Li Er and Li Si even took on the important task of renovating the wedding room.
Lin Tao looked at Li San and couldn't remember when Li San stopped focusing all his attention on Zhou Xiaohe.
It seems that this kid has really let go. This chapter has been completed!
