Wang Huilian rushed to Shen Chunshu and started scratching him all over the face.
While scratching him, he cursed: "Tell me clearly, who do you want to marry? I serve a whole family every day, but in the end I end up marrying someone you don't want to marry?"
"You are such a heartless person, you will die a miserable death, may the sky strike you with lightning..."
Chen Chunshu raised his hands to cover his face and hid in the room: "I was just talking casually, why did you take it seriously?"
No matter what Shen Chunshu said, Wang Huilian felt more and more aggrieved, and her attacks became more and more severe.
"Okay, you're not done yet, are you? I'm giving you face?"
Chen Chunshu was not a good-tempered person to begin with. He said a few soft words, but when he saw that the woman was still not giving in, he immediately lost his patience.
Relying on his height advantage, he kicked Wang Huilian to the ground.
Seeing the couple about to fight, Old Man Shen was really troubled.
The third child's problem in the family hasn't been resolved yet, and the eldest child and his wife are already quarreling again.
"Alright, stop it. Don't you think I'm mad enough? Will you all be satisfied when I die?"
"Get out, all of you, get out."
Old man Shen shouted at the top of his lungs, turned around, took off his shoes and got on the kang. Let him do whatever he wants. Everyone felt that they were too cunning.
They all think they are capable, so let them be the boss. He wants to see what they can do without him.
When Shen Chunshu saw that his father stopped chasing them for money, he immediately pulled Wang Huilian out.
"Look how angry you made Dad. I'm going to teach you a lesson when we get back!"
Wang Huilian struggled and refused to accept it: "Who is angry? Explain it to me clearly, don't try to put a big accusation on me. I take care of the family every day, and you want to say that I am unfilial with just your sweet words?"
When Shen Chunshu saw that she didn't understand at all, he quickly covered her mouth with his hand and dragged her to the west room.
Now the only ones left in the east room were Chen Xiashu and Shen Qiushu, who were still on the ground.
Chen Qiushu, who had been caught for stealing, was now sleeping on the kang in a very lonely manner.
Only Chen Xiashu was left struggling: Dad had just told them to roll over, should he sleep on the kang? Or should he sleep in the small east room?
After standing on the ground for a long time, he didn't see his father get up to chase him away. After thinking about it, he decided to take off his shoes and get on the kang.
The farce of the night ended at noon.
As soon as he woke up the next day, Old Man Shen stared at Shen Qiushu.
With a serious face, she said to him, "From today until the New Year, you are not allowed to leave this house without my permission."
"If you don't listen, then pack up and go wherever you want!"
Shen Qiushu pursed his lips: "Then how should I arrange my marriage with Xiaoqin?"
Old man Shen closed his eyes. He was so angry at his son whose head was full of shit that he lost his temper.
After making harsh remarks last night, he lay on the kang all night without sleeping. For a moment, he really didn’t want to care about it anymore.
But after thinking about it all night, he still couldn't let it go. No matter how angry he was, he still had to take care of it.
Old Man Shen tried to comfort Shen Qiushu feebly: "I'll go find a matchmaker again. If that doesn't work, I'll go there myself and discuss it first!"
In fact, Old Man Shen thought in his heart that if the Li family refused to give in, he would definitely not agree to the marriage, and it would be a failure.
He just didn't believe it. Could the third brother really want to die because of a woman? If he was detained at home, he would at most suffer for a while.
I’ll find him a better one later, and he’ll forget about the girl from the Li family in a few days.
But I can’t tell this to the third brother now. He is now at a point where he can do anything for his wife. If I tell him, I’m afraid he will make a fuss again!
After breakfast, Old Man Shen assigned a task to the second son, Shen Xiashu, which was to look after the third son.
"You stay at home today too. You are not allowed to go out. Your job is to keep an eye on the third child. If he runs away, I will hold you accountable when I come back."
Chen Xiashu quickly turned around and assured Old Man Shen: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on him and not let him run around."
Chen Qiushu curled his lips in disdain as he watched his family members discussing him as if they were handing over a prisoner.
After giving the instructions, Old Man Shen went out and headed straight for Liu Qingshan's house.
He wanted to go find Mrs. Qing again to discuss the issue of the bride price with the Li family to see if it was possible to negotiate down the price.
Mrs. Qing was not surprised to hear the purpose of Mr. Shen's visit.
Although she was a little reluctant to move, who made her take this job in the first place?
He agreed readily and promised to go to Lijiazhuang again today to sound out the Shen family.
Old Man Shen also revealed the truth to Mrs. Qing: "The maximum amount of the betrothal gift can be 5 yuan. If the Li family really doesn't agree, then let it go."
When Mrs. Qing heard this, it seemed that the Shen family was about to back down!
But it’s no wonder, there are no villages nearby that are nearly this high!
No one’s money comes from the wind. If you can spend 5 yuan to marry a wife, who would be willing to spend 10 yuan?
Old man Shen sat in Liu Qingshan's house for a while, and after expressing his gratitude again and again, he stood up and said goodbye.
As soon as Old Man Shen left, Mrs. Qing also packed up and prepared to leave.
Liu Qingshan looked at her with amusement: "You are quite concerned about this?"
Mother Qing smiled and said, "You don't understand. The betrothal gift is 10 yuan, and it's the first one we got! It will be something to brag about later!"
Mrs. Qing relied on her own two feet to get back to the Li family.
This time, both parties were familiar with the place. As soon as Mrs. Qing entered the house, Zhang Guilan enthusiastically poured her some water.
Li Jianbang is also at home today.
After the two of them greeted each other, Mrs. Qing didn't say much. She just laid the groundwork and went straight to the point.
