Chapter 231 Big Tongue?
"Anan, isn't it just a communication between elders when you propose marriage here?"
In this case, both of them brought the betrothal gifts themselves, which is quite novel.
"Yes, the elders usually don't care. Men who are almost adults need to collect the betrothal gifts themselves. When they collect the gifts, they will be considered capable if they can marry a wife. After they succeed in getting a wife, the elders in the family will help to prepare the wedding banquet."
Jiang Wan nodded to show that she understood. The customs here are very different from those down the mountain. She wondered if the man who came later would be able to bring the beauty home.
The moon is really beautiful.
As the saying goes, a white complexion can hide three uglinesses, and this makes sense.
The moon is whiter than most people in the village. She has an oval face, tender red lips, and beautiful eyes. She is tall and a little plump but not fat. She speaks in a coquettish voice and can be sweet and sisterly. All girls like her.
It's normal for the boys in the village to like it.
"Anan, do you think this No. 2 Big Brother can succeed?"
Anan shook his head affirmatively.
"Sister Moon won't get married."
Jiang Wan seemed to understand, but she didn't ask any more questions.
If she doesn't want to get married, it's either because she has another lover or for her own reasons. No matter which one it is, it's her private matter and she, as an outsider, can't ask too much.
You have to know your limits.
Jiang Wan listened to Anan's translation and noticed that Yueyue had looked at the gate several times.
She looked like she was expecting someone to come.
Is there going to be a kiss-stealing scene today?!
"Yue, Xiaoqiang, you don't agree, but what about Ming? Ming's family is small, and you can manage the household once you go there."
Aunt Qiao really wants her daughter to marry someone better.
Girls in the village can get married when they are around 15 years old. My daughter is already over 18 years old now. If she doesn't want to get married, there will be few good men of the right age in the village...
She kept delaying the marriage, and many people gossiped about it. Some even said that she was reluctant to let her daughter, who worked so hard, get married.
Every time I hear this, I get so angry.
As time went by, this matter became a thorn in her heart and she couldn't sleep all night.
Aunt Qiao looked at the two young men with a loving face. They were both good. Families with many or few people have their own merits.
Most importantly, she could see that both of them had a love for the moon.
"Yue, don't put this off any longer, you should at least pick one."
"Mother, let me think about it..."
Just as Yueliang finished speaking, there was a loud bang at the door and something fell to the ground.
Yueyue, with red eyes, turned her head suddenly, and when she saw the man at the door, she immediately trotted forward.
"You, you are finally willing to propose marriage!"
Jiang Wan could guess what he said by looking at that aggrieved expression without Anan translating.
I was so excited.
It's amazing to see this kind of scene when you're just weaving cloth.
Three families came together to propose marriage.
"Anan, you said Sister Yueliang won't get married, is it because of him?"
Anan nodded and squeezed onto Jiang Wan's small stool, with their two little heads put together to watch the show.
While watching, Anan explained it to Jiang Wan.
"The man at the door is called Li Man. His mother died when he was born, and his father died two years later from serious injuries. He was raised by a family in the village. He is a really good person. He is strong and capable at work, and he never goes hunting without a hand. But he can't speak clearly."
"Oh? Why don't you know?"
"I can't really explain it. If he wants to talk, you'll understand. Ah Man is very self-conscious about this, and with the situation at home and those gossipers saying bad things about him, he feels even more self-conscious. I don't know how Sister Yueliang got to know him, but they like each other. But he never dared to propose marriage."
Anan sighed.
"Sister Yueliang didn't want to force him. He has been waiting for more than two years."
She had almost thought that the two of them were not destined to be together in this life, but she didn't expect to see Brother A-Man coming to her house today.
Jiang Wan subconsciously felt around on her left hand, but there were no melon seeds or peanuts, nor were there any squid or fish fillets.
At this time, two people at the door were already pulling each other.
One wanted to leave, but the other wouldn't let her, which embarrassed the two men who came to propose marriage. They picked up the betrothal gifts and ran away.
They are not blind. When Yueyue saw Li Man, her eyes were full of love. How could they argue? She had already won.
"Yue, Yue Nan (bright), no, no!"
"Why not? You're here now. These are your betrothal gifts. Don't even think about denying them. Mom, come and take these things in!"
Aunt Qiao's forehead veins popped out. She used a broom to push the two people into the house, then closed the door.
She knew her daughter had such a lover before, but she didn't ask because her daughter didn't want to talk about it. After a long time, she didn't talk about getting married or anything like that, so she thought they broke up, but it turned out that they didn't!
And she never expected that this person would be Li Man.
How could it be Li Man?
Li Man had no family after his death, so his daughter would have to take care of everything after he married her. Moreover, he couldn't even speak clearly, and if anyone told others about such a son-in-law, they would be laughed at.
It was already a joke that her daughter was still unmarried at the age of eighteen, and with a son-in-law like this, Aunt Qiao could imagine what those bad-mouthed people would say.
My head starts to hurt just thinking about it.
How could such a beautiful daughter like her end up in a family like Li Man's!
The mother, daughter and Li Man were already arguing. The door was closed. Jiang Wan and Anan could not leave or stay, so they could only sit aside and listen.
Jiang Wan felt something was not right as she listened, and her expression grew a little serious.
Li Man really couldn't speak clearly, like he had a big tongue.
He was obviously 1.80 meters tall, well-proportioned and strong, what a good match. But as soon as he opened his mouth, his temperament slumped to that of 1.60 meters.
Jiang Wan had an idea, and while they were arguing, she went over to take a closer look and confirmed what she was thinking.
The fact that Li Man can't speak clearly is actually just a very small problem in modern times.
It means the tongue tie is too short.
If the frenulum is too short, the tongue cannot be extended and the tip of the tongue cannot be curled up, which will cause difficulties in eating and speaking.
Nowadays, children between the ages of three to five or six are usually taken to a clinic or hospital by their parents, and they will recover quickly after a minor operation.
The reason why Jiang Wan knew this so clearly was, of course, because she herself was like this when she was a child.
He has a bit of a tongue when he speaks, and it feels like there's a rope tied around his tongue in his mouth, and he can't even lift it up a little.
Her tongue tie was cut by her mother herself. She was a doctor in a small clinic at that time and she was able to perform such a minor operation.
In Li Man's case, the problem can be solved with a simple cut and healed for three to five days.
Should she say something more?
