Chapter 307 Shen Suya Gets Married

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Rongshan had no objection.

Ji Wenhe thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Before they get married, we can give them the business of selling goods starting from next month."

"We can earn a little over two taels a month. We'll split it between the two of them, one tael each. By the beginning of next spring, we'll have a lot of money saved. We won't share the money we have with them."

She turned her head and looked at him, then continued, "We'll pay for the betrothal gifts. You don't have to spend money to buy the cabinets and tables in the new house. Let Wenshan make them."

"We will also pay for the banquet and gifts for the girl. After the wedding, unless it is necessary or under special circumstances, we will no longer pay them. What do you think?"

"Well, after they get married, they have to learn to support themselves and can no longer rely on us. I will listen to you and hand over the business to them at the end of the month."

Both brothers can drive a donkey cart and can go to the town to purchase goods, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Oh, right." Ji Wenhe remembered something, "Donkey carts are the same. Whoever wants to use it can use it. In the future, if we have more money, we can buy another donkey cart or a wheelbarrow."

"There are still some farm tools. Once we are officially separated, let them go to town to buy them. At the end of the month, you can go with them to town to buy the dishes, chopsticks, and cotton."

These must be prepared before the wedding, otherwise when the bride gets home, she will find that there is not even a pot in the kitchen.

Shen Rongshan agreed: "Aren't you going to town at the end of the month?"

"No, it's too hot and I don't want to run. Go get your dividend from Boss Yang and some fabric. Come back and sew a quilt. I forgot to buy it last time."

Go ask Lan Qiuhua for help, otherwise she will have to sew for a long time by herself.

"Okay, come back in a couple of days to see if there's anything you need at home, and I'll buy it all. Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Ji Wenhe turned around and kissed him, then moved to the inside: "You should go to bed early too."

Summer is here, and he's in a bad mood. I don't want to be near him at all.

Shen Rongshan grabbed her hand, kissed the back of it, and said affectionately, "Good night."

Early the next morning.

After they finished their meal, one went to help move the table, and the other went into the house to see the bride of the day.

Ji Wenhe knocked on the door gently: "Xiaoya, it's me, can I come in?"

"Sister-in-law, come in."

When I opened the door, I saw that she was wearing a new maroon dress, cloth shoes of the same color, and her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin.

She was the only one there. He went into the room, closed the door, and looked her up and down: "It suddenly occurred to me that there is no one who wears makeup, just drawing eyebrows and twisting faces."

"Sister-in-law, you are talking about the fragrant makeup, right? When Sister Liuyun got married, I went to see her and she said that it was very painful to have her face rubbed."

"Mother wanted to invite someone over, but I refused. Not only would it cost money, but it would also be painful. I'm afraid of the pain and don't want to grind the noodles. Anyway, there's not so much to pay for in our village. We're not a wealthy family."

Shen Suya pointed at the bed and said, "Sister-in-law, sit down and talk. Don't stand."

"I also think it's better not to make the face, but you can put on some makeup. You only get to be a bride once in your life, so you have to look beautiful."

Ji Wenhe has always had a question. If facial hair is plucked out by facial scrubbing, it will definitely grow back. Wouldn't it grow longer and thicker?

Or just cut the noodles as soon as they grow out?

It hurts just thinking about it.

"Sister-in-law, are you saying that I'm not pretty?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Pretty, youthful and pretty, and looks good even without makeup."

Shen Suya smiled and pointed at the red paper on the table: "Yes, my mother bought it. It costs more than ten coins to invite guests. I couldn't bear it. I could buy a few more meat buns."

"You." Ji Wenhe smiled and turned to look at the dowry prepared on the bed. "You will be an adult in the future. You should think carefully before you speak or act. If you miss home, let him take you back."

"Well, I don't know when he will come."

"Come over when the time comes."

At this time, there was a knock on the door. It was Shen Qingdai.

"Xiaoya, we're here to see you. Can we come in?"

"Yes, come in."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and behind him followed Shen Wanqing and her two sisters, as well as Shen Zhuyue, Shen Fengyao... all the little girls in the village came.

Ji Wenhe stood up: "You guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen to help."

Most of the little girls in the village were good friends with Shen Suya. They were chatting and laughing in the house, making it very lively.

When we arrived at the kitchen, Miao Zhaodi and a few others were picking vegetables.

"Can I help you?"

Zhou Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You are the cook, you will cook the dishes later, you don't need to pick the vegetables."

She looked outside the yard and said, "Where's Aunt Lan? Why can't I see her? And where's Aunt Wang?"

Li Chunhong took over the conversation: "Inside the house, your Aunt Lan just cried. She was reluctant to let her daughter marry into another family."

Ji Wenhe sat next to her: "I was wondering why she was crying when I didn't see her when I first came."

Seeing someone taking my daughter away, I felt even more reluctant and sad.

"Aunt Li, you have three daughters. Find them one that lives close to home so they can come back more often. If they live too far away, it will be inconvenient for them to come back."

"That's what I think. It depends on whether we can find one. Zhangjia Village and Zhaojia Village are close to each other. I hope they can all marry into these two villages."

"I think Zhangjia Village is fine." Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Ji Wenhe, "You still remember Zhang Fugui, Zhang Daqiang, and Zhang Shuanzi, right?"

"I remember. How could I forget so easily? I remember that Zhang Fugui is Liu Erfang's son."

"Yes, these three have not married yet. I heard that they tried to peek at someone taking a bath a few days ago, but were caught by the man. The three of them came back with injuries all over their bodies."

"That family is big, they came to our house with sickles and beat us up. We are now lying at home. They said they will beat us up every time they see us next time."

"Tsk, these three people really refuse to change their bad habits. If they were not surnamed Zhang, they would have been driven out of the village long ago."

Ji Wenhe really admires them. They learn a lesson every time they are beaten, but they can't change no matter how much they are beaten.

Li Chunhong looked disgusted and said, "My daughter cannot marry into Zhangjia Village. If they target her, she won't be able to get rid of her."

Zhou Xiaoyu replied: "That's why I said forget about Zhangjia Village. Don't look down on the people from their village."

Anyway, her daughter would not look for someone from Zhangjia Village to meet. Those three people were not good people.

Wang Erfeng came out of the house and said helplessly: "I think she will cry for a while, Xiaolian is with her."

Ji Wenhe stood up, gave her the bench, and joked, "When the time comes and your daughters are married, you will cry too."

Zhou Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I won't. I'm not a crybaby."

Li Chunhong looked at her and said, "Then wait, I'll wait until Zhuyue gets married, and see if you will cry."

Several people were picking vegetables in the kitchen, chatting and laughing.

After washing and cutting the vegetables, I started cooking.

The pork ribs were stewed at her home, and Miao Zhaodi went to light the fire.

Ji Wenhe served the cooked dishes into a bowl, and Zhou Xiaoyu and Wang Erfeng divided them into plates.
