Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

After a cup of tea, they agreed.

"Ms. Yan, this wedding dress is a bit expensive after all. We are going to be in-laws after all, right? It's not for the sake of enmity. You just built a new house and we understand that you don't have much money in your pocket. In this way, the wedding dress will be No, how about changing the bride price to five taels of silver, a gilt hairpin, and two new clothes?"

This time, Mrs. Zhao didn't speak, but it was Zhao Yuefang's mother, Zhao Zheng, who spoke.

Yan Xia really wanted to laugh at their faces.

They probably used this wedding dress as a pretext to erase the two taels of silver in the wedding dress so that she could no longer bargain with the bride price during the discussion.

So from the beginning to the end, all the Zhao family wanted was the bride price of five taels of silver.

They don't care at all about gilt bracelets and two new sets of clothes.

"We have been discussing the dowry for so long. I wonder what your Zhao family's dowry will be?"

Yan Xia did not reply.

Her answer lies in the dowry.

If the Zhao family is not the kind of family that wants to sell their daughter, then just give her five taels. After all, Jin Fu fell in love with Yue Fang at first sight. There is no need for the eldest son to regret missing his sweetheart just because of two taels of silver.

"Dowry? Of course there is. The custom in our Zhaojia Village is to give away a towel as a dowry. Our family is easy to talk to. Yue Fang was raised by me as a young lady from a rich family, so just give her two towels!"

Yan Xia almost laughed angrily.

She didn't even know how Zhao Zheng could say this so shamelessly.

Two towels?

How much does this cost?

It's not even worth ten copper coins.

I have the nerve to say that I was raised by the eldest lady. Whose eldest lady only needs two towels as a bride?

You must know that ancient betrothal gifts are not brought back.

What is the difference between this and her spending money to buy a daughter-in-law?

That's all, since the eldest son likes it, let him go, just treat it as buying the eldest son's favorability value. Maybe when he gets married, the favorability value will increase to 100.

Yan Xia swallowed this sigh of relief.

Agreed with a straight face.

On the road.

Even Matchmaker Xu was secretly scolding the Zhao family.

"If I had known that her family was like this, I wouldn't have introduced it to you. It's my fault. I thought that the Zhao family's sister-in-law was as good-hearted as before. People can change. I'm sorry, Xiaoxia. Auntie, I'm really sorry. Knew it would be like this.”

"It's okay, Auntie, you are doing it for my own good. You are tired of running around. In seven days, I have to ask you to help me go to Zhao's house to propose marriage."

Yan Xia didn't blame Matchmaker Xu for this.

Since everyone agrees, there is no need to talk behind others' backs.

Otherwise, how will Jin Fu get along with the Zhao family in the future? He can't keep his daughter-in-law from returning to her parents' home for the rest of her life.

If the daughter-in-law goes back, her son will naturally accompany her.

Hey.

Yan Xia felt like a mother for the first time.

Tired of heart!

Back home, Jin Fu was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard, looking restless.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Seeing his mother entering the door, Jin Fu immediately stood up and asked.

"It's done. Just wait for your Grandma Xu to propose marriage in seven days. We have to give her a matchmaking gift in advance. It's just a pound of pork and two ounces of money. It's quite generous."

"Hey, mother, you have worked hard, my son will give you a pat on the back."

Jin Fu smirked and pulled Yan Xia to sit on a chair.

This look made Yan Xia glad that she didn't get angry at the Zhao family.

It seems that this silly boy fell in love with Yue Fang at first sight. Also, such a beautiful little girl can't be found even with a lantern.

"Mom, how much is the bride price you are discussing?"

Yan Xia was stunned for a moment.

Said softly.

"Five taels of silver and a gilt hairpin."

"What? Five taels of silver, my God, are you going to marry a fairy for your eldest brother? And what about the gilt hairpin? She asked for it when she saw that your mother bought hairpins for me and my second sister. Of?"

Lamei just came back from outside and was so excited when she heard this.

The house at home only cost more than a dozen taels. Five taels of silver can be used to build a house.

Could it be that my sister-in-law is a girl from the town?

This bride price is too harsh.

Her best friend also just got engaged, and the bride price was only one tael.

"Mom, why don't you give this hairpin to my sister-in-law? You can save money on it. My daughter has only worn it a few times and it's still new."

Guihua heard her sister's words and came out of the kitchen. She took off the hairpin from her hair and handed it to Yan Xia.

"Mom, I don't want to marry her anymore."

Jin Fu murmured, his smile disappeared as soon as he heard the bride price.

"Whatever silly thing you say, mother agreed. Why are you worrying about this one by one? Mother has money. Didn't she just sell a grizzly bear? It's okay. She has enough money. Don't even think about marrying your sister-in-law. Mother will marry you three." I have saved all the money from my wife’s marriage, as well as the dowries of you two girls! Let’s not talk about this, have you cooked? You mother, I didn’t eat enough in the morning, I’m so hungry.”

Changing the topic, Yan Xia entered the main room.

She could feel how depressed Jin Fu was when he said that.

These children are very sensible.

I don't want to burden her.

Therefore, under Yan Xia's strong request, Jin Fu could only compromise.

In the past few days, he accompanied his mother to the town, buying meat for Grandma Xu, picking out gold hairpins for his future wife, and tearing two fresh pieces of fabric for her. The clothes may look good on you.

Jin Fu secretly vowed in his heart that he would return the money he spent to marry Yue Fang to his mother.

After getting married, he would go to town to work part-time.

Time soon came to seven days later, when Matchmaker Xu failed to come to her door to propose marriage for the first time. She happily promised to come back tomorrow.

Generally speaking, it works the second time.

However, the Zhao family refused again.

Until the third time, Yan Xia's family waited all morning, but Matchmaker Xu didn't come back. Jin Fu was restless, but Yan Xia was very calm, eating and drinking when he should.

"You boy, do you have fleas on your butt? Your grandma Xu will have to come back by noon at the latest. Don't worry, she will definitely agree to it the third time. It is probably that the Zhao family wants to test us."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Jin Fu quickly opened the door, but Matchmaker Xu walked into Yan's house with a dark face.

"This Zhao family is so heartless that they will die a good death! It's a shame that I helped them like this. They are going to trample my face to the ground! How can I do this business in the future?"

Yan Xia's heart thumped.

"What's going on, aunt??"

"The Zhao family, who lacked great virtue, actually looked at both families at the same time! When they refused for the second time, I felt something was wrong, but I didn't tell you, for fear of worrying you, so I found a good person from Zhaojiacun. My old friend helped me check it out. Unexpectedly, as soon as I left that day, another matchmaker went to her house. She was comparing who gave more gifts? She really thought her eldest granddaughter was a fairy in the sky. ? Damn! You are shameless and skinless, and your whole family is not a good thing!"

Yan Xia's face also darkened.

Before it was over, Matchmaker Xu continued to curse.
