Liu Hua, who had eaten the meat, was very easy to talk to. Without waiting for Sun Shouzhong to speak, she took the initiative to take over the conversation, "I wonder what kind of women my uncle likes? I know that there are more than a dozen women in Shanghe Village who are of the right age. If you are interested, I can give you a feel."
Although the cowherd was poor, everyone in Shanghe Village was poor. At least Sun Shouyi had an old cow and a cowshed.
The land around the cowshed also belonged to him.
If he is willing, he can tear down the cowshed, mix mud bricks, and build a thatched house, so that he can have a home.
Although the house is a little small...it's fine as long as it can be lived in. I don't ask for much else.
In just a few breaths, Liu Hua's mind turned several turns, and she even helped to think of the date for her brother-in-law to start building the house.
"As long as she's kind-hearted." Chu Qi summarized the scope: "But I'm in a hurry and want to see her the day after tomorrow at the latest. If there is any girl who is willing, I'm willing to offer three hens as a betrothal gift."
What matters most when getting married is a good match between the two families.
For example, if a poor peasant marries a wife, the wife must naturally be a poor peasant.
Therefore, Chu Qi proposed three chickens as a betrothal gift, which was not low.
It can even be said that in Shanghe Village, it is a very generous betrothal gift.
After all, other families are not as generous as Fatty Chicken. At most they can give some copper coins and food.
If you send live chickens, three hens in particular, keeping them for laying eggs is a good choice.
Although poor farmers cannot afford to raise chickens, that is based on the premise that they cannot afford to buy them. If someone gives them to them, that is another matter. Even if they have to dig insects every day, they have to feed the chickens.
Liuhua exclaimed: "Three hens??"
Sun Shouzhong was also surprised: "If my brother had such a good thing, he could sell it for money and save more money."
Chu Qi repeated: "I am in a hurry and need to settle things before the day after tomorrow, so..."
Chu Qi didn't care much about whether to save money or not. Her most important thing was to decide on a candidate within three days. Everything else was just empty talk. So, the conditions were naturally high.
If three chickens weren't already generous enough, and more would be too conspicuous, she would have given five or ten without any problem. After all, wild birds were like her vegetable garden now, and she could just catch whatever she wanted to eat.
Apart from the inconvenience of travelling back and forth, everything else is fine.
"Why does it have to be before the day after tomorrow?" Sun Shouzhong didn't understand.
"Well, because..." Chu Qi lied: "My brother misses a woman."
Hearing this, Liu Hua blushed.
Sun Shouzhong was also embarrassed and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade his brother. Since his brother could afford the betrothal gift and was willing to pay it, he would just help.
He even did something like driving his younger brother away, but his younger brother didn't care and even took the initiative to seek his help. This shows trust!
Sun Shouzhong secretly made up his mind to help his brother accomplish this task.
Although his intelligence network in the village is not as wide as his wife's, there are many co-workers where he works, so he can always ask some of them who have sisters/daughters.
After feeling embarrassed, Liuhua agreed to the task and promised to help find a candidate as soon as possible.
Liu Hua had eaten bean rice before her husband came home, and now she ate a lot of meat again. Her stomach was bloated for the first time, so she stood up and walked around to digest the food.
Chu Qi asked: "Sister-in-law, how old is your fetus?"
When talking about the child, Liu Hua smiled with maternal radiance and said softly, "It's June."
"Then the baby will be born soon." Chu Qi thought thoughtfully.
It's quite novel.
She has always had a weak bond with her family, and rarely encounters a happy family while doing her work.
It is rare to encounter a situation where a brother is planning to have children.
She silently included "sending meat to her brother's house" in her schedule.
When you are pregnant, you should supplement your nutrition.
"Yes." Liu Hua nodded.
Chu Qi chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she stood up and said goodbye.
Sun Shouzhong opened the door. It was pitch black outside. An owl was squatting on a branch and hooting. The cool breeze blew across his skin, giving him goose bumps. He couldn't help but step back. He wanted to close the door, but hesitated and said, "It's too dark. Why don't I go back tomorrow?"
He was talking to his brother, but his eyes were looking at his wife.
Liu Hua was so envious that she said, "Brother-in-law, please stay."
"No need." Chu Qi waved her hand. People who practice martial arts keep their eyes and ears open. It's just darkness, not a big problem. She walked out of the house, her figure gradually blending into the darkness, heading towards the cowshed.
Sun Shouzhong was a little worried, he sighed, and finally closed the door and said to Liu Hua:
"Tomorrow, Madam, please pay more attention to the unmarried women in the village. I will also ask if there are any suitable ones when I go to work."
Now that I have found out, I still need to inquire more, but time is too tight. Fortunately, I have three hens as a betrothal gift, so it should be easy to find out.
Liu Hua said, "Okay."
The couple held hands, looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
As mentioned before, the conflict in this family arises from lack of money.
Now that Chu Qi has taken the initiative to send a fat chicken to ease the relationship, the relationship has been restored.
