Chapter 760 That’s not the case
Zhou Shunzheng listened with great interest when he saw Gu Erzhu talking. At the critical moment, he suddenly stopped and leaned lazily on the back of his chair.
Stop talking?
"Then there was a quarrel?"
Gu Erzhu laughed and shook his head, "That's not true. I just heard her say that her daughter's dowry was worth at least half a million taels of silver. I felt very unhappy when I heard that.
I am a person with a bad habit that I can’t change. Behind my back, I can do anything, but in front of me, they fool me like a fool, which makes me very angry.
Her Ma family has almost a lot of money, how can she hide it from me? Both she and her mother-in-law were almost sold into the mountains by her parents' family and bought as daughters-in-law by the Ma family. ”
No!
It's not just her and her mother-in-law, it's her, her mother-in-law, and her eldest daughter-in-law. Three generations of them have been bought as daughters-in-law by their families!
Zhou Shushun remembered that when his Sanya once whispered to him about the four daughters-in-law of the Ma family, what was the relationship between the Ma family's eldest daughter-in-law and her natal family?
For a moment, he wanted to tell Gu Erzhu about this matter, but if he said it, he would be selling his daughter, which was hard to say.
"It's not easy to be a hunter. It's not uncommon for a decent family to marry their daughter into the mountains. It's not uncommon for several brothers to marry one daughter-in-law in the mountains.
It doesn’t matter that most of the people in our village now realize that life in Majia’ao is much better than that of other families in the mountains, so they still marry into a wealthy family and are not worthy of marrying out. ”
Thursday Shun nodded heavily.
No!
Last year, Brother Ma's family made room for his children from Majia'ao to meet the children from the village. The only ones who could do so were the girls who were married in.
"Brother Ma, if I have the windfall left by my ancestors, how can I let such a son who I finally raised live in the mountains and buy a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line?
Take a look at Brother Ma. He has been talking to Majia'ao for a long time, and he has four sons. He bought the Gu family's small village a few years ago. ”
No!
If you can give your daughter a dowry worth half a million taels, why are you still staying in Majia'ao? "So, Hu Niu's dowry is not just what it looks like on the surface?"
Gu Erzhu said that he was stumped by Zhou Shuns sudden question. He just wanted to scratch his head, "Who do you think are you two?"
What does it mean?
"You and Sanya are afraid that revealing too much of the dowry will attract thieves' attention, and you are also worried that it will embarrass Silang's family. She is not afraid. Otherwise, why wouldn't Sanlang's mother-in-law want to see her?"
Zhou Shushun was stunned for a moment, wondering which one she and the man were facing. At the same time, he also remembered that not only his Sanya and the Fang family's girl came in on the same day in the Gu family!
Gu Erlang from the in-laws' family and Gu Sanlang from Gu's eldest family also got married on the same day. "Did Sister-in-law Ma and Sanlang's mother-in-law quarrel? I didn't hear about it."
Looking at Zhou Shun, who was obviously enlightened, Gu Erzhu laughed dumbly, "No quarrel, no quarrel, even if Sister Ma is around, Sanlang's mother-in-law will avoid it."
"How do you know? You know what these old ladies are doing?"
"Hey, why am I, an old man, staring at these old ladies!" Gu Erzhu raised his chin, "My wife saw something was wrong and came to me to tell her."
It’s amazing to have a good wife! Gu Erzhu, who was showing off on Thursday, rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want to listen to my wife talking nonsense all day long!"
"Believe it or not, I will go back and tell your second sister-in-law that you always dislike them and they talk nonsense all day long——"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, good second brother." Zhou Shushun quickly changed the subject, "Later, how did Sister-in-law Ma agree to betroth her tiger girl to our Erlang?"
Gu Erzhu originally thought that Zhou Shunhui would ask what the Ma family's dowry for their daughter contained, but unexpectedly he got to the point. "Then I did something wicked. About half a year ago, while I was going to Ma's house to buy goods, I coaxed my second man to help me go to Ma's Ao!"
"..." Thursday was silent for a moment, and had to raise his thumbs, "Awesome! I finally know where the name of that hob meat guy comes from!"
"Bullshit!" Gu Erzhu laughed and scolded, reaching out and patting his raised right hand, "As expected, Huniu fell in love with my Erlang.
Don't think wrongly, I am immoral, but my son is not! Not only has my sixth son refused to play with girls since he was a child, but my second son is not a playboy either.
On that trip to Majia'ao, my Erlang didn't say a word to Huniu. When we were about to come out of Ma's house, I secretly asked Erlang to take a look at Huniu. ”
Scared to death!
What kind of immoral thing is this?
"Then Erlang fell in love with Hu Niu?"
Oh, it's your Sanya, and my Liulang knew Sanya before in Fucheng, so he wouldn't take a second look and fall in love with someone at random.
It's a pity that these words are not easy to say, let alone sound. It seems that his son is very picky. Gu Erzhu slowly shook his head, "It's not that early, my Erlang also woke up late.
He was too embarrassed to look at Huniu more, but he went to Majia'ao more times later, and the rules in the mountains were not strict, so the two children slowly picked up the conversation.
Of course, there is a good thing about Mrs. Ma. Even though she said those things in front of me before to make me retreat, she is still very hospitable.
In addition, I never mentioned those hurtful words to my Erlang. At that time, Dr. Dong often took Erlang into the mountains to collect herbs. As time went by, Brother Ma relaxed and agreed. ”
Finished?
Zhou Shun had to suspect that this brother was cutting corners again and hiding something that he originally wanted to say. He would have known better and would not have interrupted the conversation.
"It's not easy for you, second brother. If I had known you were so good, I wouldn't have done anything to embarrass you before. I almost made my third sister miss you and my second sister-in-law feeling sorry for her."
"Stop talking and be obedient." Gu Erzhu snarled and couldn't help but chuckle, "Why are you so embarrassed? How about I say that the most honest person is still you.
Why did I bring up that Chen Guzi rotten sesame thing in front of you, but only we two brothers know about it, and it’s hard to tell anyone about it.
It's not Mrs. Ma's fault that she feels sorry for who's daughter. If it were me, if someone had set his sights on my Baoya early on and even came to bring up the old matter after rejecting her offer, I would have been anxious too. ”
fortunately!
Your brother, I almost mentioned Baoya just now!
But there is still a difference. If you refuse, just refuse. There are hundreds of girls in the family, so why raise the price so high? How good is his Sanya?
In the past, the most he could ask for as a betrothal gift was a few dozen taels of silver. Don't think about finding someone else for his daughter. The dowry was still worth half a million taels of silver.
Sister-in-law Ma still went too far. No wonder when his family Sanya bought half of the ancient village, Brother Ma added 20 acres of dowry land to Huniu.
"Understood, this matter comes from your mouth and enters my ears. For the sake of the children, I will not miss a word. Otherwise, if you don't talk about my third uncle, you will be my third sister?
She regards you as her biological father, but no matter what her Aunt Ma said a long time ago, even if there is Huniu in the middle and you are wronged, she will remember it for the rest of her life.
What's more, there is my uncle, what a filial child, does he feel happy after hearing this? It's better to live like this now, one less thing is worse than one more thing. ”
