Chapter 171: Angry Out of Shame
After listening for a while, the matchmaker finally realized that Niu Cuihua was trying to steal someone else's boyfriend. She immediately got angry and said, "Hey! What's wrong with you? Our marriage has been decided. Now we are just choosing a good day to get married. Why are you interfering? You will go to hell if you ruin someone's marriage!"
Niu Cuihuahua's expression immediately changed, and she spoke to the matchmaker in a very aggressive tone, "What has our village's affairs got to do with you? Get out! We don't welcome you in our village!"
"Hey! Who are you? Is this village yours? I can come and go as I please, what can you do to me? The county magistrate can't control me, so who do you think you are?" The matchmaker was obviously not someone who could be bullied, and she immediately stood up and challenged Niu Cuihua.
Niu Cuihua was a bully who only feared the strong and the weak. Seeing the matchmaker being so strong, she immediately turned her eyes to Liu Jinhua who was watching the show, "Sister Jinhua, I've told you everything, if you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again!"
The matchmaker covered her mouth and laughed scornfully, "What good is this village and this store? It's gone after you get married! How ridiculous! The Shen family not only gave twenty taels of betrothal gifts, but also built a spacious stone house with two entrances. What can your eldest brother's family use to compare with them? How dare you force someone in front of me!"
Niu Cuihua was so shocked by the matchmaker's words that she couldn't recover for a long time. "Twenty taels? A yard? Why?"
She, Wei Daya, is not a fairy from heaven, so why did she marry so well?
At this moment, Niu Cuihua's face was distorted with jealousy.
The matchmaker looked down on Niu Cuihua's behavior more and more, "Why? Because they are rich! Because they are willing, because they are happy! Do you think everyone is as stingy as your family! To tell you the truth, it is not cheap to ask me to be a matchmaker. The thank-you gift is at least one or two taels of silver. The Shen family can afford this money, can you?"
As she spoke, the matchmaker deliberately touched the silver hairpin on her head.
That is a symbol of the matchmaker's identity. Usually, matchmakers will wear that kind of flower, but the colors and styles vary.
The one in front of you is a bright red silver hairpin. If you look closely, there are words engraved on it. This is something that only official media can wear.
Liu Jinhua hadn't noticed it before, but now she saw it clearly. She stood up and asked politely, "Are you from the official media?"
The matchmaker smiled approvingly, "Sister, you have good taste. No wonder the Shen family likes your daughter. If there is no problem, then we have a deal. The marriage will take place on October 12 after the autumn harvest."
"Okay, okay! Please tell the Shen family that our dowry for Daya is twelve taels of silver, plus a bed, a cabinet, and a dressing table. We originally wanted to prepare bedding, but the Shen family said they didn't need it, so we didn't do it."
Liu Jinhua said this deliberately in front of Niu Cuihua.
Sure enough, Niu Cuihua was so jealous that she was furious.
As soon as the matchmaker left, she ran away angrily. Within half a day, the whole Liujiazhuang knew that the Shen family spent twenty taels of silver to marry Wei Daya, and the Wei family had to give Wei Daya twelve taels of silver as a dowry.
When Chen heard the news, she turned pale with anger. She stopped working on the farm and ran back home to question Liu Jinhua, "Mom, how could you let everyone know about Daya's betrothal gifts and dowry? Now everyone is asking me about it and I don't know what to say."
Liu Jinhua looked at Chen's complaints expressionlessly, and waited until she shut up before she said slowly, "Just say what you need to say, and tell the public what we plan to say. What's the problem?"
Liu Jinhua's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Chen was startled, took a step back, and looked away guiltily, "No problem."
Liu Jinhua then restrained her momentum and said slowly, "I have said it all. The Shen family will definitely be happy. I will send Daya's dowry and furniture over there. After the wedding banquet, I will return the rest to you.
This money has been spent everywhere, we have to calculate it clearly, if there is any discrepancy in the end, I will definitely get to the bottom of it!"
Chen subconsciously looked up at Liu Jinhua, her face tense, and she dared not say anything else.
She turned around and secretly found Wei Daya, pinched her hard, "You are such an ungrateful traitor! I just wanted two taels of silver from you, but you tried to play tricks on me. Don't think I can do nothing about it!"
"Mom, I didn't," Wei Daya cried in grievance.
Chen was furious. "Don't call me mother! Cry out loud and see if I dare to punish you! Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because your grandmother is protecting me!"
As she said this, Chen pinched Wei Daya twice out of anger. As soon as she turned around, she met Liu Jinhua's gloomy gaze, which almost scared her to death.
"mother"
That night, waves of Chen's wailing could be heard from the Wei family's big house.
Wei Daya tried to go out several times but was stopped by Wei Erya. "Sister Daya, your aunt treated you well in the mountains, but now that she's out of the mountains, she's become a different person. She's obsessed with money. It would be better if your uncle teaches her a lesson, so that she won't get into trouble later."
Wei Daya suddenly had an idea and looked at Wei Erya in shock, "Erya, did you tell grandma?"
Wei Erya shook her head decisively, "How could I have that ability! I just saw you crying, so I mentioned it to grandma. But grandma knows us too well and guessed the aunt's purpose right away.
In our family, there is no one that grandma can't see through. Fortunately, grandma is keeping her in check, so the eldest aunt can't make any waves. But she is narrow-minded and will hold grudges. You should try to avoid her during this period, and it will be better once you get married."
Wei Daya was stunned for a moment, then thanked Wei Erya. When she saw that it was almost done, she went out to her parents' room.
Chen was jealous of Wei Daya to begin with, and when she saw her coming, she immediately transferred all her anger to her, "I don't need your fake kindness, you ungrateful bastard! If you weren't stupid, I wouldn't be beaten by your father!"
"Chen! Are you done yet? If you don't want to live with me anymore, get out of here. I'm going to divorce you right now!" Wei Yi was annoyed by Chen's unreasonable and reckless words.
After saying this, he was stunned at first, and then he began to think seriously.
Now is the time when the family needs everyone to unite. The work outside is already tiring enough. If there is still no peace at home, it is better not to have such a home.
Seeing Wei Yi's expression changing unpredictably and becoming more and more serious, Chen was so frightened that her whole body was shaking. She quickly climbed up from the ground and smiled lovingly at Wei Daya, "Mother was just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart. It's getting late. Go back to the house and rest, get ready, and get married after the autumn harvest."
Before Wei Daya could recover from her change of attitude, she was pushed out by Chen.
The Wei family returned to peace.
Everything was fine on the Wei family's side, but things started to get chaotic on the Niu family's side.
When Niu Youfu learned that Wei Daya had married such a wealthy man, he was so angry that he cursed at home for several days.
Xiong Kai accompanied his mother Niu back to her parents' home.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Niu Youfu's scolding.
