Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 347 Xiaoyuan's Marriage
The old man didn't take the matter too seriously at first. He just warned Sheng Kai and Shen a few words and then let the matter go.
As a result, when the old man went out to visit neighbors the next day, some curious people asked him when he could attend Xiaoyuan and Xiaoyin's wedding. Mr. Sheng then realized that something was wrong. Everyone in the village knew about it... He denied it again and again, saying that it was not true.
It seems that Sheng Kai and Shen Shi were not just gossiping in a small circle, but spreading the news of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yin's marriage on a large scale with a purpose. Mr. Sheng immediately called back Sheng Kai, Shen Shi and Xiao Yuan who were visiting outside.
After calling the people back, Mr. Sheng flew into a rage and denounced Sheng Kai and Shen Shi. Because if such a thing got out, it would be a scandal, and Lanhua did not agree with this marriage at all.
Old Master Sheng angrily scolded Sheng Kai for being a scoundrel and for bringing shame to the Sheng family by going out all day long.
Sheng Kai yelled loudly, saying that the two families knew each other well, and there was nothing wrong with combining the two good things... He also said that Xiaoyin and Lanhua despised the poor and loved the rich, and did not care about their relatives...
When Sheng Hao arrived there, the old man and Sheng Kai were arguing fiercely. Old man Sheng called him mean, while Sheng Kai said that the old man was biased and never cared about their second branch. He also said that Xiaoyuan had taken a fancy to Xiaoyin, and asked Old man Sheng to make his wish come true.
"Brother Xiaoyuan even kowtowed to our grandfather, asking him to agree..." Xiaoye continued, "but our grandfather gritted his teeth and refused."
"Did our master say anything?" Xiao Lan asked.
"My grandfather said that we don't do things this way in the Sheng family. There's no such thing as forcing someone to do something." Xiao Ye said to Xiao Lan, "Sister Xiao Lan, guess what my second uncle said when he heard this?"
Xiao Lan looked at Xiao Ye's somewhat excited expression and knew that Sheng Kai must have said something extraordinary.
"What did you say?" Xiao Lan asked hurriedly.
"He said, how come it was their family who forced them to do it, and now it's his fault? They said they are not outsiders, they are all family, and if Xiaoyin marries here, she will be loved by their relatives, isn't it better than marrying somewhere else? Besides, you two elders and the eldest brother arranged a ghost marriage for Xiaolan, and married Chunhua to the old coffin..."
Hearing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help laughing out loud... She knew that she shouldn't laugh at these things, but Sheng Kai's words were too funny, "... How is our master? Is he not angry enough to get hurt?"
"My master was so angry with him that he gasped for a long time and couldn't utter a word for a long time." Xiao Ye said.
"Then what didn't our grandma say?" Xiao Lan asked.
"He just cursed a few words..." Xiao Ye said.
"What happened next?" Xiao Lan asked.
"Later, my grandfather saw that every time he said one word, Second Uncle and his family would say ten more words. He was so angry that he told Second Uncle that if they gossip again, he would make them stay at home and not go anywhere. Otherwise, he would split up the family and make them leave the house with nothing. He also said that if Third Uncle knew about this, he would not ignore it!"
After the old man’s threats, there must be another trick of bribery.
"My grandfather also said that he would immediately find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for Xiaoyuan... He immediately asked my grandmother to open the cabinet and take out a piece of silver, and then took my second uncle to the town to find Matchmaker Wang. But Matchmaker Wang was out for a banquet that day and was not at home... I guess they have to go today..."
After being coerced and lured by Mr. Sheng, Sheng Kai's family took out real money and used practical actions to prove that he was not just talking about a wife to Xiao Yuan, and only then did they settle the matter. Only then did Sheng Kai's family promise not to go out and talk nonsense in the future.
"It's not that we don't have money. If our grandfather had taken out the money earlier and said that it would be used to find a wife for Brother Xiaoyuan, this wouldn't have happened... After all, their family had a fuss last time because of this matter..." Xiao Lan said.
Xiao Ye sneered and said, "Who would we be willing to spend our grandparents' money on? We would only spend it on Brother Sheng Hong and his family... Now we have no choice but to spend this money on Brother Xiao Yuan..."
Zhang and Liu happened to hear what Xiao Ye said, and they sighed, "Think about what kind of life we lived when we were in the old house, and look at what kind of life we live now... Now I have tasted the taste of it. The eldest brother's family doesn't have to worry about anything, as the old man and the old lady have already thought of it... As for the rest of us, we can't compare to the second brother's family. The second brother will at least cry and make a fuss, and you see when he has ever suffered any loss. It's just our two families, we are too honest..." Zhang said to Liu.
"What can I do? I will never learn their ways in my lifetime..." Liu sighed, "Besides, I can't bring myself to do that. I don't know how to do that. Let alone quarreling with others, even when I hear others quarreling, I feel very nervous and can't even speak clearly... But my family is fine now, and we will move out after the New Year..."
"It's good to move out. Regardless of how your life will be, at least you can live a peaceful life..." Zhang said.
When Shengxuan and Xiaowen came back in the evening, Zhang told him that the old house was going to arrange a marriage for Xiaoyuan. Shengxuan was happy to hear the news.
"If the old man had wasted some of the money he had when he wanted to find a wife for the eldest son, he should be able to find a wife for Xiaoyuan. It might not be enough for a grand wedding, but if you do it normally, and the girl doesn't ask for a big gift, you should be able to get a pretty good deal. If a farmer's family is looking for a wife, and both sides don't make a fuss, it should be enough..." said Zhang.
Sheng Xuan drank the strong tea that helped him sober up while he said slowly, "Who said it wasn't true? But who could have listened to the old man at the beginning? Now the money has been wasted, and the eldest son still hasn't found a wife. To be honest, I feel bad for them... But I have also calculated for them. With the money that the old man and the old lady have, after the spring comes, they can buy some grain and marry Xiaoyuan a farm girl like me. It should be enough."
But after Xiaoyuan got married, life in the old house became tight, and the old man and the old lady had no extra money. Xiaolan thought about all this in her heart, but she didn't say it in front of Shengxuan.
