Liu Lihua was very curious about Old Man Shen's arrival: "What brings you here? Could it be that one of your grandsons wants to see a girl?"
Old man Shen waved his hand: "It's not a grandson, it's a granddaughter, it's Si Ni'er's business."
Liu Lihua frowned. The fact that the fourth daughter of the Shen family had severed relations with Old Man Shen and her parents was known to everyone in the village.
Why is it that Old Man Shen came to propose marriage to Si Ni'er today?
She asked Old Man Shen with some curiosity: "Have you reconciled with Si Ni'er?"
Old man Shen laughed awkwardly: "What do you mean by reconciliation or not? We are a family after all. How can there be any grudges left overnight?"
"She was young and ignorant before, but after a year and a year older, she finally figured it out and stopped going against her family."
Liu Lihua is also a grandmother, and she is happy to see this result: "That is to say, we are all family, how can there be any blood feud or obstacles that cannot be overcome?"
"It's great that you two can reconcile. Congratulations. Only when the whole family is in harmony can life get better and better, don't you think?"
Speaking of this, Old Man Shen became even more embarrassed.
He didn't want to say anything more about this issue, so he directly said to Liu Lihua: "I want to find a marriage for Si Ni, the sooner the better."
"Cripple, blind, stupid, anything is fine, I'm not picky, the only thing I ask is that the betrothal gift must be enough, help me find one as soon as possible."
"What?" Liu Lihua stood there in a daze.
She looked at Old Man Shen in a daze: "You...whatever you said just now is fine?"
Old man Shen nodded and said, "Yes, I need money urgently now, just give me the money."
Liu Lihua asked Old Man Shen hesitantly: "Then...what can Si Nier do?"
You know, the fourth girl of the Shen family is no longer the silent girl she used to be.
This winter, Liu Lihua also knew clearly about Shen Siyue's toughness.
With Old Man Shen's standard for finding a son-in-law, it would be strange if Shen Siyue agreed?
Thinking of this, Liu Lihua carefully looked at Old Man Shen's face again. Judging from his attitude of wanting to sell people for money, it didn't look like he had reconciled with Si Nizi, did he?
Old man Shen lifted his eyelids and said something with unquestionable ruthlessness: "My Shen family gave birth to her and raised her. It's not her turn to do it or not. I have the final say."
At this point, Old Man Shen leaned a little closer and whispered to Liu Lihua, "It's best if she's from the mountains. To be honest with you, after she gets married, I have no intention of letting her come back. Do you understand what I mean?"
Liu Lihua was frightened by the fierceness in Old Man Shen's eyes. She asked cautiously, "What if Si Nier makes trouble?"
Old Man Shen had already thought of a solution for this.
"Before, I didn't bother with her because she was a descendant of the Shen family. This time, I just tied her up and sent her to the man's house. What's the point of getting married or not? She will have to accept it even if she doesn't want to after sleeping in the bed."
Liu Lihua took a breath after hearing what Old Man Shen said.
If you didn’t know, you would think that Old Man Shen was a human trafficker who kidnapped women?
Who could have thought that this was going to be done to his own granddaughter?
She was a matchmaker. Although she sometimes used her mouth to make men and women hide their shortcomings from each other, she had never done such a thing as kidnapping for marriage.
It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.
What would she do if something went wrong in the end?
Seeing that she was still hesitant, Old Man Shen gave her another assurance: "Just help me find it. I'm her grandfather, and her parents listen to me. Are you still afraid that she will make a scene?"
"If this thing is successful, I will definitely benefit from you. I will give you a gift of 1 yuan plus a pound of food as a thank you gift."
"But I've also made it clear that the betrothal gift cannot be less than 5 yuan. The higher the better."
The thank-you gift from Old Man Shen immediately made Liu Lihua interested.
Besides, what Old Man Shen said was right: the marriage of rural girls is decided by their parents.
Even if Shen Siyue reported this matter to the police, they would not do anything.
What's more, if Shen Siyue was sold to the mountains, how would she have the opportunity to sue the police?
I’m afraid I can’t even get out of the village?
However, in a situation like this, it is not easy to find someone who is willing to spend a lot of money to marry a wife.
The old lady Zhang who was introduced to the Shen family last time was willing to spend money, but she also had requirements for her daughter-in-law.
That is, no matter what, she has to marry him willingly, so that after he is trained by her, she can hand over her eldest son to her daughter-in-law after the old woman dies.
So she still has to slowly look for this person.
Liu Lihua said to Old Man Shen with a smile: "Leave it to me, but it may not be so fast. I have to ask some of my old sisters."
Old Man Shen also knew that it was not easy to find a man's family with this situation, so he came today just to inform Liu Lihua.
But he still said, "As soon as possible, I need the money urgently."
Liu Lihua nodded to indicate that she understood.
After Old Man Shen left the matchmaker’s house, he kept thinking about how to subdue Shen Siyue on the way back.
That girl's temper is like that of an animal now. She must be tied up and sent away quietly.
Should I do it at home, or lure the people out of the village?
Old man Shen walked slowly towards home.
Liu Lihua immediately went to look for her old sisters with whom she had a good relationship, and asked them to find out if there was anyone who was in urgent need of getting married.
It doesn’t matter what the man looks like, as long as he can afford the bride price.
Old man Shen was at home anxiously waiting for Liu Lihua's letter.
Shen Siyue really had no idea about the evil intentions of Old Man Shen.
Last time, because Shi Tou encountered Shen Limin stealing food, he reminded Shen Siyue to pay attention to the people in the Shen family.
After all, when people are extremely hungry, they are likely to do anything.
Now, every night before going to bed, Shen Siyue not only bolts the door, but also uses a thick piece of wood to prop up the door.
A pair of scissors was also hidden in the quilt to prevent the Shen family from breaking in in the middle of the night.
At the same time, she also went to find Liu Changshan. This time, she did not ask Liu Changshan to help find someone to repair the roof, but told him that Shen Siyue had to find someone herself.
She discussed with Shi Tou and decided that instead of waiting for Liu Changshan to gather people to start the work, it would be better for them to find someone to repair the house as soon as possible and move it out, so as to avoid having to worry every day.
After listening to Shen Siyue's idea, Liu Changshan couldn't help but say to her: "Why don't you wait a little longer? If we start digging the soil and mixing the mud now, it will still be a little frozen at night, and the wall we build may not be strong!"
But Shen Siyue couldn't wait any longer.
The situation of the Shen family has been very bad recently. She knew from the few words that Hu Lili showed off to her that the Shen family owed her a lot of money.
Moreover, recently, she had seen members of the Shen family all looking pale and skinny from hunger. They looked at her as if they were looking at fat meat, which made her feel very uneasy.
