Chapter 64: The relationship between him and Qiao Xuan cannot be explained, forget it
"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" Shao Sanlang knocked his head, anxiously: "What should I do, Fifth Brother? You are so smart, why don't you give me some advice?"
Shao Yunduan frowned.
"Fifth brother!" Shao Sanlang said anxiously, "You can't just marry a good wife and watch your brother suffer! When we were kids, I helped you fight!"
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but glance at Shao Yunduan, who was also looking at her. There seemed to be a smile in Qiao Xuan's eyes. Shao Yunduan felt a little awkward and quickly looked away.
There's no way to explain the relationship between him and Qiao Xuan, so forget it.
"How can you ask me to help you? Miss Yang is a nice person, but her brother and sister-in-law asked for eighty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and they refused to pay even a penny less. What can you ask me to do?"
Shao Sanlang choked suddenly.
Qiao Xuan was also surprised.
No wonder. Yang Xiaoni looks good and my third brother likes her, so my mother-in-law wouldn't object to this marriage.
It turned out that the problem lay with Yang Xiaoni's brother and sister-in-law.
Eighty taels of silver. Yang Xiaoni's brother and sister-in-law are really bold to ask for it!
I guess he was sure that the third brother liked Yang Xiaoni, right? But no matter how much he liked her, her parents-in-law would never give her such a large betrothal gift.
If they asked for twenty taels, which was already the highest amount in the countryside, my mother-in-law might have given it to them with a pinch of her nose.
Shao Sanlang clicked his tongue and said in frustration: "Yang Liang and his wife are nothing at all. They bully Xiao Ni all day long, making her do all kinds of work and not allowing her to eat enough. Fifth brother, you don't know, Xiao Ni is too pitiful! Fifth brother's wife..."
Shao Sanlang looked at Qiao Xuan with expectation and pleading, and spoke hesitantly.
Without waiting for him to speak, Shao Yunduan said, "Stop talking!"
Shao Sanlang let out a deflated "Ah!" and indeed, he said nothing more.
Qiao Xuan understood as soon as she heard it. Her third brother wanted to borrow her dowry. He must have known that this was not a good idea, so after hearing Shao Yunduan's suggestion, he gave up the idea.
Qiao Xuan didn't want to get involved in this matter, but seeing this, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, and said softly: "Third brother, why don't you talk to mother again and ask her to ask the Yang family again? Eighty taels may be an exorbitant price asked by the Yang family? Maybe it can be reduced. After all, even if it's not our family, other families can't offer such a high betrothal gift!"
"I'm going to say something offensive, but even if you sell her to a wealthy family as a maid, it would only be around ten or twenty taels of silver. As long as the Yang family members are not stupid, they will naturally know what to do."
Shao Sanlang didn't feel offended at all, his eyes lit up and he said happily: "Yes, what Fifth Sister-in-law said makes sense! If Yang Liang and his wife were not stupid, they would know that marrying Xiao Ni to me is the best! Thank you, Fifth Sister-in-law, I will tell mother tonight!"
Qiao Xuan smiled, "Third brother, you're too polite!"
Shao Sanlang chuckled and said to Shao Yunduan, "Old Five, do you think my brother can succeed this time?"
Shao Yunduan: "It's hard to say."
Who knows what the Yang family will think? Mother has been to the Yang family twice. Yang Liang and his wife should also know that their third brother likes Yang Xiaoni. If mother goes for the third time, they will probably be even more proud. Who knows how they will react.
Shao Sanlang said angrily: "Can't you say something nice?"
Shao Yunduan sighed softly: "Third brother, what's the point of me saying something nice?"
Shao Sanlang: “.”
Qiao Xuan covered her mouth and giggled.
After returning home and planting the orchids, Qiao Xuan ran to the kitchen to show off her skills.
