"What are you talking about? How can it be reasonable for a woman's family to pay for the wedding?"

Chen Juxiang jumped up suddenly. She had just lost a huge sum of 300 yuan. Her heart ached so much that she could not breathe. She also wanted to marry her beauty to Li Jian and asked for some betrothal gifts to reduce some of the losses.

"Sister Li, you northerners don't know our southern customs. Here, men give money to women's families. As for Li Jian, he has to raise two children. I know it's difficult, but he is a husband who lost his wife and two children. My Hongyan is an unmarried girl. She married to be a stepmother. So, it's Li Jian who is marrying my Hongyan. You should give her more betrothal gifts, right?"

Zhan Xinyue was in Shengtuan's room, and Chen Juxiang became bolder and more talkative. She circled around Liu Ruyan, looking up and down at the goods, examining them from left to right.

"I say, Sister Li, you are too young, but you are pretty good-looking. How about I find a matchmaker for you, and find someone to marry, and ask for some dowry for your brother's marriage."

"My last name is Liu, the same as my mother's. My name is Ruyan. Don't call me the eldest sister of the Li family. I'm not old." Liu Ruyan is over 30 years old this year. Although she has taken good care of herself, she is still old after all. She hates being called the eldest sister the most.

Chen Juxiang said with a fake smile: "Okay, okay, Comrade Liu Ruyan, what do you think of what I just said? It's not proper for you, an elder sister-in-law, to live in your brother's house all the time. You should get married soon."

When Liu Ruyan refuted, Li Jian sat still and said loudly, "I will always support her."

The two children hugged Liu Ruyan's calves and wanted to hug her, fearing that Liu Ruyan would really get married.

Liu Ruyan was weak, so she held the younger Li Shenxing in her arms, and held Li Jianyan with her other hand, with a proud expression on her face: "I have been raising these two children since they were born, and they are close to me."

"Sister Hongyan, if you really want to marry Xiaojian, then show your sincerity. We have to go to work. Come back to me after you have discussed it."

After saying this, he smiled contemptuously, put his little son in Li Jian's arms, and walked away gracefully with Li Jianyan.

As soon as the couple left, Chen Juxiang grabbed Zhan Hongyan's ear and said, "You little bitch, you acted like you were worth a lot of money and insisted on marrying Li Jian. Now you're done, let him take advantage of you. Where is the money in the family to give you?"

Chen Juxiang's hair was disheveled and she was furious, like a defeated old hen who could only vent her anger on her chicks.

"Mom, mom, please stop hitting me. Give me 50. I swear, Li Jian will make a fortune. I will buy you the best clothes and the biggest house." Zhan Hongyan squatted down to avoid Chen Juxiang's hand.

"There are only 75 yuan left in the family. Tell your dad not to come to me." This trick worked and Chen Juxiang was relaxed, but she didn't dare to make the decision on the last few dozen yuan in the family. She would wait for Zhan Aiguo to come back before discussing it.

While the situation here was in chaos, Zhan Xinyue sat in Sheng Tunan's car in silence.

Previously, Sheng Tunan followed Zhan Xinyue's footsteps and proposed to her foolishly. He even quickly picked a bunch of wild roses from the side of the road and stuffed them into Zhan Xinyue's arms.

At this time, members came out of the brigade headquarters one after another to get farm tools, and they all smiled kindly when they saw the people. Compared with the sneaky Zhan Hongyan, everyone had a much better impression of Zhan Xinyue.

The road was long, and Zhan Xinyue didn't know how to refuse if she wanted to, so Sheng Tunan drove back and the two of them got in the car.

Sheng Tunan drove the car to the middle of the mountain. It was quiet here, with only the sounds of birds chirping and bees collecting honey.

After a long while, Zhan Xinyue finally spoke: "Captain Sheng, I am sick and cannot marry you."
