Parents are busy farming

After Mrs. Jiang sat down, Jiang Erlang replied: "It's not very good. I can't move much. The doctor also reminded me not to get emotional!"

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she also said, ‘Ouch! ’ made a sound.

"It's so serious. Didn't the old man of the Lu family say that he has always been in good health? Why did he become so sick all of a sudden?"

Mother Jiang said: "Who says it's not the case? It's not because the old man is too ill. The older man in his family has to advance the marriage."

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she immediately looked at her second grandson, "Our second son is not young anymore. What if... wouldn't it mean that our second son would have to wait another year?"

Mother Jiang answered, "Who says it's not the case!"

Old Mrs. Jiang quickly said anxiously: "That's not possible. We also need to arrange the marriage of our two children as soon as possible. Although the girl is still a little young, we can want them to get married. We can wait until the girl is older. Just consummate the marriage.”

"This……"

How else could she be called mother-in-law and daughter-in-law! After living together for so many years, we have already understood each other. If this old lady has spoken, who can say anything?

There is no need to explain anything more.

"What is this! This is your son. Are you willing to let your son wait for the girl to observe filial piety? I heard that she also has a grandma, just in case... I am not young anymore, and... so don't hesitate ”

Father Jiang frowned, "Mom! What nonsense are you talking about! How can you say that about yourself?"

Old Mrs. Jiang waved her hands impatiently, "As people get older, sooner or later, don't you think the old man of the Lu family is a living example? Okay, stop talking nonsense, I will ask you two, what do you want? Don’t bring your second son’s wedding ahead of time, give him a happy message!”

The old lady showed her arrogant and unreasonable behavior again.

"This... mother, my brother is getting married in advance, and we are getting married in advance. How can the Lu family be so busy? Besides, the girl is still young, so she probably hasn't prepared the dowry yet!" Mother Jiang said in embarrassment.

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she quickly said: "Our family is not the kind of family that hates poverty and loves wealth. We can't care how much the girl's dowry is. It's a difficult time for her family, how can she only care about so much!"

The old lady spoke with righteousness.

In fact, I also have my own little worries in my heart, "Her granddaughter doesn't have a decent dowry. If the second son's wife has a rich dowry, the daughter-in-law must not favor that one!" Just right now! ’

Then the old lady said: "Besides, didn't we agree that after my second daughter got married, she would live alone in the newly bought house? I bought the house, so it would be empty for several years? This house will soon deteriorate if no one lives in it. .We can’t waste our fortune like this!”

The old lady's eyes were always looking at her son and daughter-in-law, and the meaning of her eyes was too obvious.

That is to ask the couple to express their stance quickly.

Finally, under the old lady's stern gaze, the two of them reluctantly nodded.

The sister-in-law of the Jiang family was also satisfied, with a smile on her face.

"Our family is having a happy event! This is a good thing."

After she helped the old lady leave, the three people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, it's all thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain the reason for getting married in advance." Jiang Erlang said with a smile.

Mother Jiang looked at Father Jiang and said with some deep meaning: "I never expected that my mother-in-law would say that in order to achieve her goal... She also feels sorry for the eldest daughter-in-law!"

Father Jiang cleared his throat awkwardly.

"She is getting older, and this is the only person that interests her. Don't argue with her. After the second daughter-in-law comes in, someone will talk to you."

No matter what Jiang's father thought, Jiang's mother was satisfied anyway.

At night, Lu Bai made all the children fall asleep and told Lu Yongfu about it.

Lu Yongfu was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively wanted to object.

"The Jiang family also wants to advance the marriage? The marriage of these two children is so close... Let me talk to my mother tomorrow!"

Seeing Lu Bai's pleading look, he couldn't continue, so he had to find an excuse first.

Then he quickly got on the kang and slept.

Lu Hongguo, who had been eavesdropping, raised the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard her father say this.

She believed that Mrs. Lu and Li would definitely agree to let her get married early.

Mrs. Lu would definitely be happy to have one less person to eat with in the coming days.

Maybe they really hope that all their sisters can get married, so that when the drought comes, there will be fewer people in the family to eat, and there will be enough food...

Lu Hongguo was indeed not slapped in the face this time, and Lu Yongfu told Mr. Lu Li about it the next day.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu immediately agreed.

However, her reason for agreeing was not that the family would have more food to eat, but that if Lu Zili's marriage was not overly happy, then Lu Hongguo would get married again, and the family would be even more happy, and maybe Lu Dashan's illness would be cured all at once. alright.

Regardless of whether Mrs. Lu and Li's ideas are weird or not, the Lu family not only wants to marry a wife, but also a daughter.

Lu Zili didn't say anything when she heard that her sister's wedding was also going to be brought forward.

Are the state officials only allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?

He is now the one least qualified to object. Lu Zili has not yet recovered from the self-blame for Lu Dashan's serious illness.

But he reminded Lu Yongfu: "It was Zifen who paid for my marriage. That's because I am the shopkeeper of her shop and her brother. In addition, she has to travel far away and cannot participate in all the matters related to my marriage, so she has to pay for it." Uncle, help me! As for Hongguo’s marriage, it would be unjustifiable if I put all the burden on my uncle!”

Lu Yongfu felt that what Lu Zili said made sense, and he also felt that leaving the marriage affairs of his children to his eldest brother was a bit excessive.

So he asked: "Then what suggestions do you have?"

Lu Zili thought about the situation at home. His parents were really overwhelmed and unable to do anything.

Then he sighed.

"If parents really don't have the energy to prepare for the wedding of their daughter, you can ask my uncle to help. But we are responsible for all the expenses ourselves! And Hongguo's dowry shouldn't be too shabby. After all, she is going to marry into the county. Go, there is a sister-in-law up there, don’t make it difficult for her to be a good person after she gets married!"

Lu Yongfu nodded and asked, "Then how much silver do you think is appropriate for Hongguo's dowry?"

Lu Zili thought for a moment and said, "Twenty taels of silver!"

For their family, spending twenty taels of silver to marry off their daughter is already a lot.

After all, building a good house only costs a few dozen taels of silver.

There is a reason why Lu Zili said to use twenty taels of silver.

He only had twenty taels left in his hand.

This is the benefit Ye Zifen gave everyone during the Chinese New Year and his usual savings.

He originally wanted to use the twenty taels of silver to buy food to tide his family through the drought.

But now that his sister needs it, he can only give it all.

As for the money to buy food, he must think of another way!

Fortunately, Lu Li and others have the habit of storing food.
