Chapter 195 Getting Married

Seeing that there was no hope, Xie Fenglian quickly changed her words: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Just pretend that Auntie didn't come today. Auntie went back first, so you can get busy."

If I stay any longer, I'm afraid she will really ask me to return the betrothal gift.

Looking at the figure walking into the rain, Lan Qiuhua raised his hand and rubbed his temple: "Headache."

"Mother, I will come to take Gu Yan home the day after tomorrow. Why are you still thinking of hiring you now?"

Shen Suya curled her lips. There was not a single good person in this family.

"There is also a betrothal gift on the wedding day. If you don't give it, the girl won't be allowed to leave the house."

She was going to be pissed off by this family.

After hearing what she said, Ji Wenhe couldn't help but start to worry again: "Aunt Lan, do you think Aunt Xie's family will add a betrothal gift on the day of the wedding?"

"I can't say for sure." She sighed, "I shouldn't have told their family if I had known. It's giving me a headache."

"Just wait and see, Gu Yan is getting married, and there will be a lot of noise in this family."

On the other side, Xie Fenglian returned home, and Shen Erzhu couldn't wait to ask: "Mom, what did she say?"

Qian Hongjuan was standing next to him, and Shen Youcai was sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed, his eyes fixed on her.

"What else can I say? I have no money. If we want to add the betrothal gift, forget about the marriage. Let us return the betrothal gift and the things he sent us."

"No money?" His voice suddenly became louder. "How could he be without money? Hunters can make a lot of money by selling hides."

"I heard that several wolves were killed in Baiyun Mountain. He also killed one. The skin should be sold for at least one or two taels of silver."

Qian Hongjuan looked at him and said, "I asked Rongshan about this. The wolf has many wounds on its body. Its skin is not valuable. It can only be sold for a few hundred coins at most."

"And hunting is not an easy task. Rongshan once said that he would not go into the mountains unless there was something important going on at home that required money."

Shen Guyan was born after she carried her baby for ten months. She was happy for her to find such a family and naturally didn't want to ruin her marriage.

Shen Erzhu glanced at her unhappily: "You are a woman, you know nothing."

Then he looked up at his mother and said, "Let's talk about it again. Six taels and six cents. Not a penny less."

Xie Fenglian sat down beside the bed and picked up the silk string: "I saw two of them earlier, but they couldn't even take out three taels."

"Liu Dali is a capable man who can hunt. When we want to eat meat in the future, let him send some over."

"Look at other people, who can be better than him? Don't mention the betrothal gift anymore, I don't want the duck to fly away."

Seeing the unwilling look on his face, he reminded him: "Don't make trouble for me, and let someone pick him up safely the day after tomorrow."

"If he asks us to return the betrothal gifts and other things in public, will our family still have face? You still have two sons who haven't found wives yet."

"If this gets out, people will think that our family is not good people, and it will be difficult for them to get married in the future."

Shen Erzhu turned his head and looked at the courtyard. He was silent for a while, then nodded unwillingly: "I understand. 328 is 328."

"I raised a girl to such an age, and only earned three taels and eighty cents. It's really a money-loser."

His voice was not suppressed. Although it was raining outside, blocking out some of the sound, Shen Guyan in the utility room still heard it.

She was happy and sad at the same time.

She raised her hand and touched the purse in her arms. There was an ounce of money he had given her, but she was reluctant to spend it.

She didn't dare go to town to buy things. If her grandmother knew about it, she would definitely search her place and her body thoroughly.

There are two days left, almost there, just two days left.

Time passed quickly, and today was the day when Liu Dali came to pick up the bride.

Lan Qiuhua was waiting at the village gate early. Ji Wenhe drove the geese and ducks to the river: "Aunt Lan, it's so early."

"I have to tell Liu Dali about what happened the day before yesterday. If he wants to increase the betrothal gifts, it's up to him. I don't care."

She stopped and stood under the tree with her arms folded: "I hope this won't happen, otherwise Liu Dali will be unhappy and increase the betrothal gift."

"That's right. No one would feel good about it. Fortunately, I took over the conversation at her house that day and didn't let him say that he was willing to give a betrothal gift of five taels."

"Otherwise, we have to raise it to ten taels now, otherwise the marriage will definitely fail."

Ji Wenhe looked towards the east and saw a man driving a donkey cart in the distance. He couldn't see his face clearly: "Aunt Lan, is that in front?"

Lan Qiuhua looked over and squinted to see carefully: "My eyesight is not good, do you think it looks like it?"

"It's too far to see clearly, but the shapes are somewhat similar."

"Then wait a little longer. He didn't tell me to walk here, but to come by donkey cart to pick me up."

"Okay, Aunt Lan, you stay here. I'll drive them to the river and come back in a moment."

"Hey, let's go."

Ji Wenhe waved the wooden stick in his hand and drove them into the river. Then he looked back and saw that the person driving the donkey cart was Liu Dali.

He was wearing a navy blue suit that also looked newly made.

Lan Qiuhua was talking to him, and after a while, the two of them entered the village together.

She came to the roadside, stood under a big tree, looked around boredly, and found two figures appearing in the woods to the west, a man and a woman.

The two seemed to be arguing about something, probably a couple having a fight.

Not long after, Liu Dali came pulling a donkey cart with Shen Guyan sitting on it, wearing the clothes and shoes he had just bought that day, with a bundle beside him.

"Sister-in-law." Liu Dali greeted her happily.

"sister in law."

She smiled and wanted to stand up and get out of the car, but Ji Wenhe quickly stopped her.

"Don't get off the car. I heard that the bride is in the car and can't get off midway."

Come to the donkey cart and offer sincere congratulations.

"Congratulations, live a good life in the future, and speak up if you have anything to say, don't keep it in your heart."

The two nodded.

"I won't say anything else. Don't delay your return home. Let's go."

Ji Wenhe waved at her and gave her instructions.

"Don't look back, look forward."

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving." Shen Guyan sniffed, listened to her and didn't look back.

"Hey."

please be happy!

She stood by the roadside for a long time, until she could no longer see their shadows, then she slowly turned around and walked towards the river.

Sitting on the shore with my chin in my hand, I felt a sense of loss.

The girls in Shenjia Village got married one by one, and the population became fewer and fewer.

When Shen Suya gets married, there will be no one left with whom she can joke around casually.

this day.

Ji Wenhe got up early and looked around the wasteland. There was not a single egg in the nest, only their feces.

After changing the straw in the nest, he came to Lan Qiuhua's house and said, "Aunt Lan, can I borrow your dung bucket?"

She replied from the kitchen: "Take it."

I was carrying a dung bucket and placed it next to the toilet when I saw two brothers coming down the mountain with rattan sticks in their hands.

The vines are tied to the front of the cart, and someone is pulling it from the front, which saves the person pushing the cart a lot of effort.

"Who of you is home today?"

"Him." Shen Wenshan pointed at the person next to him, "My eldest brother and I are going out today."

"Okay, then go and carry the goods out first."

"Well, sister-in-law, tell him when my eldest brother comes back. I'll be waiting for him at the foot of the mountain."
