At this moment, remembering what he was here for, Zhao Ye broke free from Li Shao's arms and took out the shoes wrapped in cloth from his arms.
"Brother Li, these are the shoes I made for you. Try them on to see if they fit you."
Li Shao looked at the shoes over and over in surprise: "How did you know my shoe size? They are so well made, they must be a perfect fit."
As he said that, he took off his shoes and put on the new shoes made by Zhao Ye. "It's just right. It fits perfectly. Brother Ye, you are really amazing. These shoes are so well made. I don't want to wear them anymore."
He kept praising the shoes and walked back and forth in them, looking like he couldn't take them off.
Zhao Ye was very happy to see that he liked it so much: "I just made it based on my guesswork. Brother Li, I'm glad you like it. I'll make shoes for you in the future."
Li Shao took Zhao Ye's hand, put it in his big palm, looked at it over and over again and said, "That won't do. It will wear out your little hand. Don't do it in the future. Let's buy it with silver. Marrying me is for you to enjoy life, not for you to work."
"Whose boy doesn't work? Brother Li, you are talking nonsense again." Zhao Ye said this, but he felt so happy in his heart. He thought that Brother Li was really right. Rural families are not landlords. Whose girls and boys don't do needlework? They all go to the fields to farm during the busy farming season.
After saying this, she felt it was getting late, so she broke away from Li Shao's hand, stood up and walked out. "Brother Li, I came here to bring you shoes. Now that the shoes are delivered, I should go back." After saying this, she ran away quickly.
Li Shao looked at his back, his lips curled up, hoping that time would pass quickly.
The next day, at dawn, Li Shao packed his things and took Matchmaker Zhang to the Zhao family.
Zhao family.
Knowing that Li Shao would come to propose marriage today, the Zhao family packed up early and waited for Li Shao to arrive.
Father Zhao was sitting on a chair in the main room, smoking a cigarette.
Thinking about what was so good about his own boy Ye, Li Shao was willing to spend fifteen taels to marry him.
But at least she was able to get married. Otherwise, if she had been kept at home at such an old age, the villagers would have gossiped about her.
Although he was an outsider, had no land and was an orphan, he looked strong and healthy. In the village, he could be called back to work during the busy farming season.
It would be better than marrying Ye Ge'er to the Liu family in town, otherwise this son-in-law would be about the same age as him, which would also not be good.
While I was thinking about it, Li Shao and Zhang the Matchmaker arrived.
Although everyone knows that this marriage is just a formality, it still needs to be performed.
"Zhao family, good news has come to your house. Brother Li asked me to propose marriage. He has set his eyes on your son Ye." Matchmaker Zhang said loudly as she entered the courtyard.
"Hey, Brother Li, Matchmaker Zhang, please come in and sit down." Mother Zhao hurriedly invited them into the house.
After everyone entered the house, Zhao's father sat in the main seat and Zhao's mother brought water to entertain them.
"This brother Li from the Zhao family killed two wild boars right after he came to the village. He is a good hunter. He also killed a bear a few days ago. That bear is worth a lot of silver. He is a capable man and can definitely support Brother Ye. If Brother Ye follows him, he will enjoy a good life in the future."
He originally wanted to agree directly, but when he saw that Li Shao brought a lot of things, Zhao's father couldn't help but have some bad thoughts, thinking that Li Shao was so willing to give money to Zhao Yehua.
The family still had five taels of silver in foreign debt, and adding another five taels of silver as a betrothal gift should be enough, so he opened his mouth to ask for the betrothal gift.
Zhao Ye was eavesdropping behind the door. When he heard Zhao's father shamelessly asking for an increase in the bride price, he was so angry that he wanted to open the door and rush out, but was stopped by Zhao Jiao.
I advised him not to go out now, as the girl and the boy were not present when the engagement was proposed.
Before Li Shao could even open his mouth, Zhang the matchmaker was furious. The matchmaking fee Li Shao gave her was enough for her to matchmake between two families. The Zhao family's sudden increase in the betrothal gift was an embarrassment to her. If she didn't teach the old man Zhao a lesson, who would come to her for matchmaking again if the news got out?
Then he began to criticize Zhao's father: "Old Zhao, do you have any shame? It only costs a few taels of silver to marry a girl. Your previous wife Zhao Qi married into Wangjia Village and was married off for only one tael of silver. You think Brother Li is easy to bully because he is honest. At worst, the marriage will not take place. I don't know if there is anyone who wants your boy. Take out the fifteen taels of silver and return it to Brother Li."
He turned to Li Shao, winked, and said, "Brother Li, my aunt has several young and fertile girls and boys, you can pick any one you want. We dare not marry into such a family, so let her find an old man as her son-in-law."
Li Shao understood and said, "Since my uncle doesn't really want to marry Ye Ge'er to me, then I can't force him. It seems that we are not destined to be together." After saying that, he picked up the things he brought and was about to leave.
"Alas, Li boy, why are you leaving before you have even finished your sentence? Young people are too impatient. I agree to your marriage." Seeing that Li Shao was really going to leave, Zhao's father was so scared that he stopped him quickly and did not dare to mention anything about extra money.
Mother Zhao also smiled apologetically and said, "Of course, your father-in-law was just joking with you. How can a young man be so temperamental?"
Matchmaker Zhang's eyes lit up and she said, "Brother Li, since your future father-in-law has agreed, let's talk about the marriage. The marriage is settled, and we have to choose a good day for the wedding."
Li Shao said: "Let's set the wedding date for three days later. Three days later is a good day."
"Three days later? That's too rushed," said Zhao's mother.
Matchmaker Zhang also thought so, but Li Shao insisted. If it weren't for the time needed to clean up the house, buy wedding items, and prepare the banquet, he would have wanted to marry Ye Ge'er tomorrow.
Fearing that Li Shao would get angry, Zhao's father and mother had to agree to get married three days later.
Father Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Little Li, you know the situation of my uncle's family. You can get married in three days, but there is no dowry."
After hearing this, matchmaker Zhang wanted to spit at Zhao's father. Normally, when a family marries off their daughter or son, they have to bring some dowry money. Li Shao gave 15 taels of silver but didn't take a penny back. This Ye girl is inferior to her husband's family before she even gets married. Old man Zhao is really a piece of shit.
But Li Shao immediately said: "Okay, as long as Brother Ye comes over, I don't want anything else."
He was not interested in the dowry from Zhao's father.
Matchmaker Zhang couldn't help but sigh that Ye Ge'er would enjoy a good life in the future, as he found a man who cared about him so much that money was not as important to him.
