"You were not at home yesterday, and the Lan family was very busy."
Feng Yanjun glanced at Feng Yanhong mysteriously and raised his chin in the direction of the Lan family.
This younger brother of hers is not someone who gossips easily. What terrible thing happened?
"Lan Xin is pregnant, and she says she is Cao Hongjun's."
Feng Yanhong raised her eyebrows but did not answer. Lan Xin seemed to have been pregnant before marriage in her previous life, but she was not married to Cao Hongjun.
"The Lan family dragged a group of people to the mechanical team to escort Cao Hongjun to their home. They had to promise that they would marry Lan Xin, and they also asked for a gift of 1,000 yuan."
"Cao Hongjun said no. Uncle Lan wanted to chop off the person's fingers. Cao Hongjun had no choice but to agree."
"The Lan family also asked someone to testify, saying that they will be discussing the marriage in the next two days."
Feng Yanjun shook his head, looking like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Bai Xiu's face became more and more gloomy, and her hands stopped knitting her sweater.
"Fortunately, we have clearly seen his character early, tsk tsk tsk~"
"If you dare to act like that, I really want to punch him twice."
"Okay, let's not get involved in other people's affairs." Feng Yanhong said with a smile. In the past, she might have watched other people's jokes with interest.
Now she has long taken these things lightly, and there is no need to waste words on these unimportant people.
She is not interested in watching other people's jokes. She just wants to live a good life, so that her family can be free from illness and disaster.
"Oh..." Feng Yanjun closed his mouth angrily.
"Sister, I have to go back tomorrow. If you still feel uncomfortable, let's go to the hospital in the city."
"I don't feel any discomfort anymore. Please help me go to the store and have a look when you have time. Collect the bill and pay for the food and meat. I won't go there before the wedding."
The bruises on her face are still very obvious now, and she doesn't want to go out at all.
"Sure." Feng Yanjun agreed readily.
Early the next morning, Feng Yanhong was still asleep when she heard a noise outside. She thought it was Lu Shuang coming again, so she woke up instantly, sat up from the bed, quickly got dressed and ran out.
"Cao Hongjun and his mother have come to find him, and they are making a fuss!"
Feng Yanjun had been watching the excitement in front of the door for a while. When he saw her coming out, he quickly entered the room and explained.
Feng Yanhong breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she didn't come to him for family trouble.
Speaking of Cao Hongjun's mother, she was really brave. She rushed in with her son and scolded the whole Lan family until they were beaten to death. It looked like she was breaking things!
"Oh my god, it's a good thing that Yan Hong had good taste and didn't fall in love with him." Bai Xiu couldn't help complaining as she walked in.
"Where can we discuss marriage like this? I don't even get a good word, I don't want to give a bride price, and I don't even want to hold a wedding. It's too much!"
"Xiao Cao's mother, oh my God! So fierce! She's tall and big, and she has cornered the old couple of the Lan family."
"If you don't agree to the conditions, you will be beaten and smashed. This is not a marriage. Isn't it enmity?"
Bai Xiu shook his head, feeling as if he had escaped a disaster.
"Let's have breakfast first. Your father went next door to break up the fight."
The three members of their family finished the meal while listening to the noise next door and Lan Xin's crying. None of them had much appetite.
Although the relationship between their family and the Lan family has not been very good, they can't help but lament that it is unlucky to have such an in-law in the Lan family stall.
As Feng Yanjun pushed the car out, he did not forget to tell his mother and sister that if Lu Shuang dared to come again, he would not be polite at all.
The mother and daughter agreed repeatedly and watched Feng Yanjun leave.
When Feng Taizhou came back, the noise next door had disappeared, but the voices discussing matters were still not very friendly.
It seems that the captains of both teams have come to mediate and mediate, trying to find ways to resolve these matters.
"How's it going?" Bai Xiu heated up the food for Feng Taizhou and brought it to the dining table and asked worriedly.
"What can I do? The marriage must be finalized. How can it be possible for the Cao family to take advantage of it and still refuse to take responsibility?"
"It's just that the Lan family wants the gift money, but I'm afraid they won't give it." Feng Taizhou simply said a few words.
"Children these days are too courageous. They've got the baby out before they even get married." Bai Xiu frowned and sat aside without saying anything to make fun of others.
"There's nothing I can say about it. Let's not join in the fun if it's something that can't be slapped. We're still too busy with our own family matters."
Feng Taizhou has never been a person who joins in the fun, so he took this matter very calmly.
By the afternoon, the Lan family had dispersed. Zhang Mingqi, the captain of their team, saw them off and took a detour to the Feng family.
"Old Feng, hurry up and pour me a cup of tea, I'm so thirsty."
"The house next door has a big family, and they can't even provide food for them at noon."
"Hey, it would be great to have some leftover food. I haven't eaten since I got up early and I'm so hungry now."
Zhang Mingqi walked in the door carelessly, and his eyes lit up when he saw the food on the table that had not yet been collected.
Seeing this, Bai Xiu quickly served a bowl of rice and scrambled two more eggs.
After three bowls of rice and two pots of tea, Zhang Mingqi recovered.
Zhang Mingqi's wife is a nurse. She was busy when she was young. In the past two years, she was transferred to the city and she didn't care about him anymore.
Now that he has several children at home, a family, and a job, he, a lonely man, spends a lot of time outside to earn a living.
"Oh my, those in-laws of the Lan family are really difficult to deal with. I have never seen such a difficult person in most of my life."
"Then it's not about getting married, it's just a waste of money!"
Feng Taizhou was a little confused when he heard this, so "Didn't you say you don't want that girl from the Lan family?"
"Do you believe that? That's just a pretext. The girl's family is already pregnant and doesn't want to give her a bride price."
"I don't even want to hold a wedding, but I still want to ask for a dowry from my family. Do you think this is a good plan?"
The Feng family was speechless for a moment. This was not a waste of time.
"If you ask me, it's the girl in their family who doesn't have any brains. She got pregnant before the marriage was decided. If they don't care about her, who can you care about?"
Feng Taizhou laughed awkwardly and didn't answer. This was not their place to judge.
After final discussion, the Cao family was willing to pay a bride price of 200 yuan and host ten banquets. If there was no dowry, the 200 yuan would have to be taken back.
In the end, the Lan family has no choice. If the Cao family's affairs really fall apart, the two girls of the Lan family will probably lose their money, and it will be difficult to discuss marriage.
If word got out that Lan Xin was pregnant before marriage and was disliked by her husband's family, the Lan family might not be able to hold their heads high on the farm for the rest of their lives, and they would have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky.
I have to marry this girl off without a dowry, so that I can at least make up for some of my reputation.
Zhang Mingqi was not a person who asked for trouble. After saying a few words and being polite, he stood up and left.
