Chapter 545 Eldest Sister 2

"Brother Sheng, don't go yet, what I have to say is related to you."

Guang Sheng looked up at Ning Yan, a rare occurrence for him, and his gaze was filled with incomprehension.

After all, he and the original owner of this body had never crossed paths. Even if they bumped into each other in the village, they would simply pass by without exchanging greetings.

The team leader's wife, Wang Cuiyun, suddenly thought of something. She pressed her son down and smiled at Ning Yan, saying, "Da Ya, tell me what's wrong. Your uncle will definitely help if he can."

Ning Yan thought to herself, "This is really a smart person." "Uncle, Aunt, I came today to ask if Sheng-ge's marriage has been settled?"

Captain: "...Da Ya, you've taken a liking to my Shengzi?"

Guang Sheng finally raised his head, his gaze lingering on Ning Yan's face for several seconds. Her clothes were covered in patches, and she was excessively thin, but it was still clear that she was quite pretty...

Ning Yan smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, to be honest, my family is forcing me to marry Geng Jianguo from the production team next door, but I don't want to."

However, I'm not young anymore, and getting married is just a matter of time.

Rather than being randomly chosen by my mother to marry someone with a high dowry, I'd rather find someone I know well and find agreeable.

I just don't understand what Sheng Ge means.

Wang Cuiyun was so happy she wanted to clap her hands. Everyone in the production team knew that Ning's eldest daughter was capable, efficient, and filial.

She hadn't dared to consider her when she was looking for a wife for her son, because this girl was just too good, and she was several years younger than her son. She was also afraid that the girl wouldn't like her son.

Today, this kid has come right to our door; we can't miss this great opportunity.

Without even thinking, she replied, "What could he possibly mean? He'd be thrilled!" Then she nudged her son twice with her elbow, "Say something, your little sister is waiting."

Guang Sheng: ...

How much dowry do you want?

The brigade leader and his wife were furious. "You silly boy, why are you asking about the bride price? Shouldn't you have secured the woman first?"

Ning Yan said, "I don't want a bride price. I will decide my own marriage. If your family agrees, we can go to the Party Secretary's house tomorrow to get a certificate and then we can get our marriage certificate."

The wedding should be conducted according to the village customs.

Wang Cuiyun said anxiously, "Child, do you think your parents will agree to this?"

“They wanted to use me to make money. They never treated me like a daughter. I started helping my family take care of the children and do housework when I was four years old. I worked hard for fifteen years, and I have already repaid their kindness.”

From now on, I'll act as if I have no family.

I just don't know if my uncle and aunt would be willing to accept me, a daughter-in-law who's practically offered herself up as a gift?

After Ning Yan finished speaking, she looked at Guang Sheng.

Guang Sheng's gaze met Ning Yan's, and he paused for two seconds before looking away.

Wang Cuiyun had been keeping a close eye on her son. No one knows a son better than his mother. The fact that her son hadn't left immediately meant that she had agreed.

"Yes! Yes! Oh dear, it's all your unreliable parents' fault. Otherwise, you wouldn't have needed to come in person. We should have found a matchmaker and come to propose marriage ourselves."

The captain was also pleased, but he still had some sense of reason. "Da Ya, you're a good girl. If I had a daughter-in-law like you, I'd be laughing in my sleep. Are you serious about getting our marriage certificate tomorrow?"

Ning Yan stood up. "Uncle, of course I'm serious. I'll go back first and come over early tomorrow morning to open the letter with Brother Guangsheng."

The Guang family of three: ...I had never met her before, so I didn't know. This girl is really direct!

Wang Cuiyun nudged her son again, "Go, see your eldest sister off."

Guang Sheng didn't say anything, but he had already started walking outside.

After the two left the Guang family's house and walked about a hundred meters, Guang Sheng finally spoke, "Are you really planning to marry me?"

Ning Yan stopped and looked at Guang Sheng with a smile, "Yes, I would never joke about something like this."

"You don't mind my bad reputation?"

Ning Yan: "If you didn't have this bad reputation, I really wouldn't remember you."

Guang Sheng: Just a few years ago, I was unwanted because of this bad reputation, but now not only has a wife come to me on her own, but I don't even need a dowry...

"I see."

Ning Yan waved to him, "You can go back now, no need to see me off, it's not far anyway."

Guang Sheng wouldn't listen to her; he didn't go back until he saw her step into the house.

When he entered the house, the brigade leader and his wife were indeed waiting for him eagerly.

"How is it?"

"How is it?"

The mother slapped her son on the back, saying, "You know what I mean by asking that question."

"Give me some money. Her clothes are so tattered they're unbearable to look at. I'll go to town tomorrow and buy her two new outfits."

The captain's eyes lit up; his son was also interested in Daya. "Here, take some more."

By the way, although that girl said she didn't want a bride price, we still have to give her what we're supposed to.

"Old woman, how much do you want?"

Wang Cuiyun: "Our fifth son got married last year. His family gave him fifty yuan as a bride price, along with four sets of clothes, a bicycle, and thirty-six legs..."

The fifth daughter married a worker in the city. The boy had a brother, and the fifth son-in-law was a shrewd man. He knew that if he didn't spend more money, it would benefit his younger brother, so he made his parents prepare a dowry.

All of these things together would definitely cost at least five hundred yuan.

Captain: "We have a bicycle at home, and although we've been riding it for two years, there's no need to buy another one."

The rest was all converted into cash and given to Daya privately.

"Okay! As long as she lives a good life with Shengzi, I'll let her manage this household!"

Anyway, we only have one son, and this little bit of family property will be theirs sooner or later anyway.

The captain looked at his son. "Is this arrangement acceptable?"

Guang Sheng sat there and hummed in agreement.

"If you have no objections, go back to your room and get some sleep. You need to go open the mail tomorrow morning."

After returning to his room, Guang Sheng couldn't fall asleep for a long time. When he was seventeen or eighteen, he often fantasized about what his wife would be like. Tonight, his imagination found a basis: if it were her...

...

When Ning Yan returned home, the children were still playing around, and her parents were sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air with long faces.

Ning Yan ignored her and went straight into the house to wash up, then called her sister to go to sleep.

The next morning, the whole family got up early to work in the fields. There wasn't much work to do at the moment; it was mostly weeding. Villagers usually went to work when it was cool in the morning and came back for breakfast after finishing half a day's work.

The original owner also had to work in the fields. Ning Yan went out for a stroll and then came back. She went straight to her parents' room and soon found the household registration book.

After rummaging through the Divine Palace, Ning Yan found a set of clothes suitable for this world: a white floral top made of Dacron, blue work pants, and white Warrior shoes. After changing, Ning Yan let down her braided hair and put it in a ponytail before heading straight to the brigade leader's house.

To be honest, the brigade leader's family was getting impatient, afraid that Ning Yan wouldn't be able to come.
