Matchmaker Wang came to propose marriage to Zhan Feiyu, and she offered a betrothal gift of one hundred taels of silver. The Zhan family had only saved dozens of taels of silver over the years, not to mention jewelry, clothing and fabrics.
"Mom, please agree quickly, this is a great thing!" Ma urged excitedly, wishing she could nod instead of Mrs. Zhan. She would agree to it even for fifty taels, let alone one hundred taels of silver, and the Zhu family
The young master and the older man are the same age, so this is not selling his daughter.
"Xiao Yu is still young, it's too early to marry her now." Li's voice was gentle but firm. The money was touching, but she only had a daughter, not to mention a hundred taels, even a thousand taels. Li would not agree.
Boss Zhan remained silent with a straight face, but he expressed his acquiescence in Li's statement without speaking.
Although the Zhan family lives in poverty, they still have enough food and clothing. Boss Zhan has no ambitions. Even if he wants to marry his daughter, he will have to wait until seven or eight years.
"Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ma was imagining the white silver ingots. When she heard this, she stared at Li as if she had seen a ghost, jumped up and shouted, "This is Zhu Landlord's house! It's
One hundred taels of silver!"
In an emergency, Mrs. Ma quickly stepped forward, put her hand on Mrs. Li's forehead, and said blankly: "Sister-in-law doesn't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense!"
"Xiaoyu is only seven years old and is not engaged. If you like my brother and sister, let Niuniu go." Li took two steps back to avoid it, and her warm hand landed on Zhan Feiyu's head soothingly. She didn't care about the Zhan family's affairs, but Xiaoyu
She, the mother, has the final say on fish matters!
Let Niu Niu go? Ma was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh, beaming with joy, "Yes, I have a daughter too! Matchmaker Wang, since the Zhu family wants to get engaged, our Niu Niu can do it too!"
Zhan Niuniu was only three years old. When she heard Ma's voice, she sniffed and grinned, "Mom."
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Zhan slammed the table angrily. She was such a shrewd person, how could she fall in love with a fool like Mr. Ma!
Ma was stunned when she was scolded. She did not dare to talk back to Mrs. Zhan. She could only look at Mrs. Zhan beside her. If the marriage was successful, their third wife would be the in-laws of Landlord Zhu.
If the leakage is revealed, it will be enough for them to spend on three bedrooms.
Zhan Laosan looked at Ma, who was jumping up and down, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, mother, our Niuniu is not bad looking. Although she is a little darker, she will become white if you cover her face. You see, Niuniu is also smart, maybe
She’s also a child goddess!”
"Yes, Niuniu has a good memory and is smarter than a small fish." Ma nodded hurriedly, pushed Zhan Niuniu, and smiled like a wolf grandmother, "Niuniu, come and memorize the "Three Character Classic".
…”
"Human beings are inherently good by nature." Zhan Niuniu continued smoothly, speaking so hastily that her saliva started to flow.
Seeing this, Ma quickly reached out and touched her, and then wiped her wet palm against Zhan Niuniu's clothes. Mi Tai's sloppy movements were unbearable to watch.
Mrs. Zhan glared at the embarrassed Ma family fiercely, and then said to Matchmaker Wang: "This matter is too sudden, we have to think about it for a few days."
"Sister, you're too polite. This is a big deal, so we need to think about it carefully." Matchmaker Wang nodded. She originally thought that Mrs. Zhan was mean and greedy for money, but she didn't expect that she still had a fair share of it.
However, when she thought of the matchmaking money of ten taels of silver, Matchmaker Wang's attitude became more kind, and she said with a crisp smile: "Sister, I will come to ask for a cup of tea on the tenth day of the lunar month."
After seeing off Matchmaker Wang, the main hall of the Zhan family fell into a deathly silence.
Ma was unwilling to give in. She grabbed Zhan Laosan and kept muttering, "You said we secretly gave Matchmaker Wang some money. Does this marriage belong to Niuniu? My sister-in-law doesn't care about it anyway."
"Shut up, Landlord Zhu has taken a fancy to Xiaoyu's talent in reading!" Zhan Laosan was also shocked by the one hundred taels before. Now he calmed down and realized what Landlord Zhu's family was planning, so he rushed to the Zhu family
With a huge family fortune, no daughter-in-law can be found.
"My Niu Niu is not bad at all, she can recite the Three Character Classic!" Ma Shi replied unwillingly, holding her neck, her eyes swept over the small stool with red lips and white teeth, and she curled her lips and said nothing.
With one nose, why does this girl Xiaoyu look different?
Old man Zhan knocked the cigarette pole on the edge of the table and looked at the Zhan family members with different expressions. "Okay, do whatever you have to do! Come in, old lady."
Mrs. Zhan had a stern look on her face, and glanced at Mr. Ma with a gloomy look. She shrank behind Mr. Zhan with a stern expression, and then entered the bedroom.
"You will take Xiaoyu to the market later, and I will go to the fields." When Boss Zhan saw that nothing happened, he picked up the hoe and planned to go to the fields.
Back in the room, Zhan Feiyu looked at the worried Mrs. Li and couldn't help but hold her hand, "Mom, don't worry, since Landlord Zhu has taken a fancy to my talent in reading, there is room for discussion on this matter."
"Zhu Landlord has been doing good deeds for many years. It would be good if he really married into the Zhu family." Mrs. Li laughed when she looked at her dumbfounded daughter. She held her on her lap and said softly: "Xiaoyu, instead of being suckled by you in the future,
Your second uncle planned your marriage, but the Zhu family is better off, and the Zhu family is willing to support you in your education."
When she thought of Zhan Feiyu still reading hard under the lamp when she woke up from her dream in the middle of the night, and thinking of how she dipped a brush in water to write over and over again in order to save money, Mrs. Li clenched in distress.
Although Mrs. Li believes that studying is important, the most important thing in a woman's life is to get married. The Zhu family is rich, and Landlord Zhu and his wife are almost seventy, so they may not be able to wait until Xiaoyu gets married.
As soon as Xiaoyu gets married in the future, the family will definitely be separated. She will have no parents-in-law and no sisters-in-law. Even if Zhu Peng fails, Mrs. Li believes that with her daughter's intelligence, she will live a good life.
Zhan Feiyu looked back at Mrs. Li behind her and asked blankly: "Mom, why did you refuse before?"
Mrs. Li sighed, no matter how smart Xiaoyu is, she is still a child, "Silly girl, you are not just chasing business, but just chasing a hundred taels of silver. If we don't agree, your mother will agree. Besides, even if you want to get married, you won't be able to get married."
You have to stay at home for seven or eight years, and no one can bully you in the future."
Dafang does not agree with the marriage. Even if Mrs. Zhan forces the decision, she does not dare to offend Dafang. She can only coax and support Dafang. In this way, Dafang's situation will be much better.
It turned out that this was what my mother had planned! Zhan Feiyu nodded in an educated manner, watching as the depression that had accumulated in Li's eyebrows for many years was swept away. When the words of rejection reached his lips, Zhan Feiyu swallowed them back.
