Chapter 168 I’m thinking about it
After settling the purchase of farm tools, Su Tai also breathed a sigh of relief. Now the cumulative consumption of Jin Shikong is 75,000, and she can upgrade by spending another 25,000.
According to the current situation, it is expected to be upgraded this year.
After Mrs. Xu finished her spring plowing, she immediately focused all her thoughts on marrying her daughter-in-law.
She has also been observing Wei Daya for a while. She is a good girl who is honest and responsible. She is definitely not a loser like Mo Chunxiang. She is deeply afraid that the daughter-in-law she likes will be booked out by the Wei family, and the Xu family will run away in a hurry. Su Tai asked her to help as a matchmaker.
Su Tai was not surprised at all and just asked: "Cousin agrees?"
Mrs. Xu nodded vigorously, "That child is just like his father. He can't fart even with eight sticks. He blushes and is empty-headed when talking to a little girl. What's his opinion? When I asked him, he hesitated and didn't dare. He answered the call and it took him a long time to say that he would let me make the decision. I was really choked to death by him!"
Su Tai couldn't help laughing when she thought of that scene and nodded, "Okay! How much do you plan to give me as a betrothal gift? You tell me here, and I can talk to the Wei family later."
Xu immediately took out twenty taels of silver and asked, "Are these enough?"
Su Tai was a little surprised, "Second Aunt, this is twenty taels, not two taels! Have you thought clearly?"
Now that everyone's conditions are better, the requirements for marrying a wife and daughter are higher, but they will not exceed two taels of silver at most. After all, if the conditions are better, you will have more children, and it is not easy to support a family.
Mrs. Xu nodded heavily, "I'm really satisfied with that girl from the Wei family, and I really want to ask for my son's hand in marriage. In addition, it's not easy for the Wei family just coming out of the family. I'm afraid they don't have the money to prepare a dowry for their child. Twenty taels of silver is enough to do it." Pingli, it’s okay for the Wei family to use half of it as a dowry for their children!”
This was her goal. Now that her family's conditions were better, she didn't want her daughter-in-law to be too shabby when she got married and be laughed at by the villagers.
Su Tai nodded and agreed.
At the same time, Niu Cuihua in Liujiazhuang was chatting with Liu Jinhua at her home.
"Sister Jinhua, your eldest daughter seems to be old enough to get married. Do you want me to help you find a matchmaker?" Niu Cuihua looked at the blacksmith shop next door from time to time, her eyes gleaming.
Liu Jinhua just pretended not to see it, twitched the corners of her mouth with a slumped face, and said with a smile: "Forget it about keeping a matchmaker, our family has just returned to the village and hasn't established a foothold yet! We can't lose people who work in the family. "
Niu Cuihua curled her lips, looked away, and frowned, "That child is already old! If you keep her, she will be an old girl! You will have trouble if you can't get married by then."
"I have no intention of staying!" Liu Jinhua felt that Niu Cuihua was confused.
Liu Cuihua's eyes widened immediately, "Then you won't be happy if I guarantee you a match!"
"I'm not unhappy! I'm afraid of embarrassing you and don't want to trouble you." Liu Jinhua explained with a smile.
Niu Cuihua's face relaxed, and she said angrily: "I thought you didn't plan to marry your granddaughter! What's the trouble with this? Don't worry, leave it to me. I will definitely find you a good and suitable family."
Liu Jinhua nodded, "Sure! Then I'll tell you the conditions."
Niu Cuihua's smile froze, but she also felt that Liu Jinhua had the conditions to be normal, so she was all ears. "I don't have high demands. I heard that the bride price for marrying a wife is now only two taels of silver at most. Our family doesn't ask for much, just two taels, and the snacks and meats are not less. In addition to these, the other party's family must guarantee Leave three rooms open for my granddaughter."
Niu Cuihua was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head, "Wait a minute, let's not talk about the bride price first, your request is too much! Three houses for your granddaughter, can she sleep alone?"
Liu Jinhua frowned, with a look of disgust on her face, "That's what you said! Oh! Doesn't my granddaughter have to have children when she comes to live in the house? Don't boys and girls have to live separately? I won't be happy if a big family is crowded together! She has never experienced this in her natal family. It’s aggrieved, there’s no reason for me to live a worse life if I get married.”
Niu Cuihua's face turned dark, "I can't find what you want!"
Liu Jinhua shrugged nonchalantly, "Look! I just said it, so I won't bother you with our girl's marriage!"
Niu Cuihua only felt that she had been humiliated, and she felt angry. She stamped her feet angrily, got up and walked out while cursing, "With your request, your granddaughter is destined to remain an old girl that no one wants!"
"You don't have to worry about that! I can afford it!" Liu Jinhua also got angry, and kicked Niu Cuihua out with a retort.
Niu Cuihua and Miracle Baihua left Wei's house and went to Niu Youfu's house. She rushed in angrily and saw Niu Youfu sitting leisurely on a chair. She kicked a stool out of anger and said, "You still have the heart to lie down! I'm going to Wei's house today." We were originally going to ask your grandson to be a matchmaker, but that old guy Liu Jinhua actually asked for a betrothal gift of two taels of silver and three houses. She really dares to think about it! "
Niu Youfu instantly became energetic and sat up, "Sister, don't let her fool you, Wei Daya looks like a betrothal gift of more than two taels of silver!"
There are indeed people in the village who spend two taels of silver to marry a wife, but those women are either good-looking or their parents' families are powerful, but Wei Daya doesn't take advantage of either.
"How do I know! Anyway, this is the condition for Liu Jinhua to be bitten to death, so you should rest your mind!" Niu Cuihua muttered dissatisfiedly.
Niu Youfu was not happy, "If my son really married Wei Laoqi's granddaughter, wouldn't you also be able to take advantage of it? How would you know if you didn't work hard? Since Liu Jinhua couldn't get through, he went to Wei Daya's mother. I don't believe it. It’s just a girl who can’t get the movie.”
Ever since the last time Liu Jinhua exposed him in front of the villagers about his fraud and the food he owed the Wei family, he had always felt uneasy. The food was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, and it could fall down and kill him at any time.
And it is absolutely impossible for him to repay the food. The best way is to marry the Wei family. When the time comes, he can bring up the old issues of the Wei family and relate them to other things, and outsiders will only think it is a dispute between relatives. It won't make a big fuss, and it can cover up shame.
So this marriage must take place.
When Niu Cuihua saw Niu Youfu brooding, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and couldn't help but remind her: "Brother, don't mess around. I can't help you if something happens."
Niu Youfu waved his hand impatiently and ignored her.
When Su Tai arrived at Wei's house with Shen Yuezhang in her arms, Liu Jinhua was still working in the yard. When he saw her, he immediately got up and greeted her, "What kind of wind brings you here, yo! Our little baby is getting more and more beautiful!"
Su Tai handed Shen Yuezhang to Liu Jinhua. Seeing that no one from the Wei family was there, she told her why she came, "It was Shen Yi and his second aunt who asked me to come over and ask if your eldest daughter's marriage has been decided?"
Liu Jinhua's heart tightened, she suppressed the excitement in her heart, and shook her head quickly, "No! We just returned to the village. We were building a house and doing spring plowing before. We were so busy that our feet hit the back of our heads. How could we have time to think about these things? What's wrong? "
