The happy little days of the Ye family

Fang Jiawang and his two sisters-in-law worked hard for more than an hour and cooked a table of meals.

The aroma of meat wafted to almost half of the village, and a few little kids were as happy as if it was Chinese New Year.

Fang Datian also brought out all the fine wines he had collected for many years to greet Hu Bin. Everyone enjoyed the lunch.

Liang's and Fang Jiawang's two sisters-in-law were very enthusiastic and frequently brought Hu Shengnan food.

After a while, the bowl was filled with a full bowl of meat. When they saw that it couldn't be filled anymore, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped.

Before the matter between the two of them was settled, Fang Jiawang was too embarrassed to pick up food for Hu Shengnan, so he actively picked up food for Hu Bin and Yan.

Soon, the food in their bowls was piled up like a mountain.

On the way to Fang's house, Mrs. Yan and Father Ye mentioned that if they could talk, they could decide on the marriage of the two young people today.

The elders on both sides had a good chat in the morning, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was good. Now Father Ye's role came into play.

At the dinner table, Father Ye, the matchmaker, made many explicit and implicit suggestions for the two of them to settle down early.

After the meal, both parents felt that the other party wanted to get married, and the smiles on their faces were as bright as the flowers.

Fang Jiawang looked at Hu Shengnan frequently, making him feel embarrassed.

After lunch, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Huang packed up the dishes and went to wash the dishes. Fang Jiawang also sent several children out to play outside.

The little kids didn't know what the adults were thinking, so they happily ate sweets and ran out to play with their friends.

The remaining people came to the hall knowingly.

Mrs. Liang brewed a pot of hawthorn tea for digestion with a wink, and enthusiastically poured a cup for everyone present.

Seeing Madam Liang sit down, Madam Yan said straight to the point:

"Sister Liang, Jiawang and our Shengnan have been getting along for a while. My family likes this boy of yours very much."

"The two of them are not young at all. We want them to get married as soon as possible. I wonder what your husband's intention is?"

Before Fang Datian spoke, Madam Liang held Madam Yan's hand very affectionately and looked at her with a smile on her face.

"Sheng Nan is such a good girl. It's our boy who has taken advantage of her. We have no objection to this marriage."

Liang did not hesitate, fearing that the Hu family would regret it.

What Liang was thinking at this time was: Someone wants this bastard, so he must not let him fall into his hands.

Fang Jiawang, who was on the side, felt embarrassed when he saw his mother was so anxious and worried that no one would want him.

Seeing that the always shameless Fang Jiawang was embarrassed, Hu Shengnan couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Yan raised her head and glanced at Fang Datian again, seeing that he had no intention of objecting, and then said with a cautious face:

"I'm quite impatient, so I'm the first to say ugly things. We only have one daughter, Sheng Nan, and we are looking for a son-in-law."

"After the two get married, Jiawang will live with our Hu family, and all the children born will bear our surname Hu. Do you two have any objections to this?"

The Fang family knew best that Fang Jiawang was going to be his son-in-law, and he had brought it up himself.

Mr. Liang promised Mr. Yan without changing his expression:

"We know this. This brat Jiawang has never liked working since he was a child. He only wants to be a son-in-law."

"We have no objection to the matter of recruiting a son-in-law. Any children born in the future will bear your surname Hu."

Liang glanced at her son and added.

"Just treat him well. If this kid does something wrong, just come over and tell us. His father and I will educate him well."

Mrs. Yan cheerfully replied: "This is natural. Once he enters the door of our Hu family, he will be treated as his own son."

"Although our family runs a martial arts gym, we don't hit anyone, so just don't worry, my mother-in-law."

However, seeing that Fang Datian remained silent, Hu Bin and Yan looked over worriedly.

When Fang Datian saw everyone looking at him, he suddenly became nervous and stammered:

"You can't carry this brat on your shoulders or lift it with your hands. Even if you drive him away, you won't be willing to come back."

"Dad, why are you talking?"

Hearing this, Fang Jiawang was not happy, at least let him save some face.

Fang Datian ignored his son and continued:

"Although our family is poor, we will definitely keep our promise. I will treat it as if I have given birth to a daughter and married into your family."

Seeing that everyone in the Fang family was sincere and showed no sign of reluctance, Yan and Hu Bin finally felt at ease.

Mrs. Yan looked at Mrs. Liang with a smile:

"Sister Liang, my two children are not too young now. I want to skip the engagement and get them married directly. What do your husband's requirements for betrothal gifts be?"

Speaking of betrothal gifts, in fact, yesterday Fang Jiawang came back and said that the Hu family wanted to come over for dinner, and their family had discussed it at night.

Although Fang Jiawang wanted to find a family to support him before becoming his son-in-law, he really fell in love with Hu Shengnan.

Originally, he thought of lowering the betrothal gift to only 15 taels of silver.

But think about it carefully, what if the woman sees that his betrothal gift is less and doesn’t pay attention to him in the future?

And this is the only opportunity to save private money openly, so you can't miss it.

So Fang Jiawang discussed it with his parents, and it was still as agreed before.

Their family wants a betrothal gift of 20 taels of silver, and other meat and wedding cakes can be made as ordinary people in the village do.

Fang Jiawang had already thought about how to use the betrothal gift. The 10 taels of silver would be kept by his mother as a way of honoring his parents, and the other 10 taels of silver would be his private money.

Fang Jiawang was the son-in-law of the house, so he treated him as his married daughter and would go back to his parents' home and interact with his relatives normally.

When he became a son-in-law, he didn't own the Fang family's property or house, but he didn't have to support Liang and Fang Datian in the future.

How much filial piety they will give in the future will all depend on the conscience of Fang Jiawang and Hu Shengnan.

Mrs. Liang first glanced at Fang Datian, then at Fang Jiawang, and saw both father and son nodding towards her.

Mrs. Liang then told the Hu family one by one about the betrothal gifts and conditions discussed last night:

"As for the betrothal gift, it's still 20 taels of silver as originally mentioned. You can take a look at the wedding cakes and meat. It's almost enough. Both parties at the banquet are responsible for it."

"Although this boy has married into your Hu family, he is still our son. From now on, the two families will move around normally."

"I won't give him the land and house at home, but we won't need him to support us in our old age in the future."

"These are the three requirements. If you agree, you can come over and apply at any time."

Fang Jiawang saw that his mother had missed the most important point, so he quickly added it himself.

"Uncle Hu, Aunt Yan, and one more thing, even you know that I can't do any work. From now on, I think Sheng Nan will have to work hard to support the family."

"But I can cook three meals a day at home, and I've also done the washing up."

Hu Bin patted him on the shoulder and said straightforwardly: "It's okay, we don't expect you to support the family."

The Fang family was unable to work, and the Hu family had known about this for a long time. The three of them didn't pay attention and agreed immediately.

Moreover, their family was originally looking for a son-in-law, and they were married, so it was reasonable for their family to have a son to support the family, and the Fang family boy to cook and take care of the house.

In this way, under the witness of Ye's father, the marriage of the two was settled, and the two families exchanged marriage invitations on the spot.

The two families made an appointment, and the Hu family came over five days later to offer the job.

As for the wedding date, Yan said that she would go back and take a good look at the recent good days.
