"What's the big deal? I think what my aunt did was right. She is a strong woman." Lu Yanzhou answered very sincerely.
He really felt that Yang Hongmei had done nothing wrong.
As a woman, it is really amazing that she can maintain a rational mind even though she has lived in such an environment since childhood.
If his second sister-in-law could be like this to his aunt, his mother wouldn't dislike her so much.
"Yeah?"
Shen Anan gave him a meaningful look, and then said directly:
"I need to rest now. You should go back and don't come over in the next few days."
I didn't say anything else to him after that and just let him go.
This reaction made Lu Yanzhou a little puzzled, and he was still thinking about it after he returned.
After that day, Shen Anan was dragged by her mother to sew quilts and make clothes, and was not allowed to go out and wander around.
She thought her special ability was enough for the time being, and she didn't want to go out and hear others gossip about her family, so she didn't go out.
The Lu family knew about the Shen family's farce that day.
But those who were watching the fun did not wait for the Lu family to cancel the engagement, but waited for Lu's mother to come to the Shen family to discuss the marriage.
Those jealous guys secretly cursed the Shen family for being lucky to have such a sensible relative.
Yang Hongmei felt relieved when she saw Lu's mother coming to discuss marriage.
He was even more shocked when Lu's mother asked for two hundred yuan and one hundred kilograms of grain.
Shen Anan was also quite surprised when she heard this. This amount of money and food was considered high even in the city, not to mention in the countryside.
"No, that's too much. Our family is marrying off our daughter, not selling her." Yang Hongmei refused directly.
She just said two days ago that her mother sold her, and now the Lu family gave her more than she originally received.
Moreover, there is so much food!
There is no food to eat anywhere this year, and this grain can save lives.
"This is what the third brother meant, and it's also what I meant. An An is worth it." Mother Lu replied with a smile.
She also thought it was a bit too much at first. In the surrounding villages, the most she could get was a hundred yuan, and twenty or fifty yuan was considered good.
But if the third brother wants to give so much, he still has to pay for it himself.
Thinking that she was the one who chose this girl, she agreed.
"No, no. If this gets out, people will definitely say that I sold my daughter. Then I won't be able to hold my head up high." Yang Hongmei refused to agree.
Lu Yanzhou had no choice but to say: "How about this, let's give one hundred openly, and let An An keep the other one hundred as a private fund. This is my intention for An An."
In the past few days, people kept coming to him to talk nonsense about what happened in the Shen family, which made him speechless.
He likes Shen Anan and is willing to marry her, so he has to let Yang Hongmei know his feelings.
Yang Hongmei heard her future son-in-law say this, so of course she agreed:
"Since you said it's for An An, then I really have nothing to say. Wait until she brings it back to your house and you two can use it yourselves."
She is happiest when someone loves her daughter.
"Okay, it's settled then." Mother Lu quickly agreed.
She knew that the Shen family was not greedy, and Yang Hongmei was very clear-headed.
Such people are most suitable to be in-laws.
Later, Lu Yanzhou said he wanted to buy a bicycle and a sewing machine, but Yang Hongmei refused again.
"You all know what happened a few days ago. There are still many people talking about it. Our family can't compare to yours. If you want to buy these things, what will our family give as a dowry? How can we live like this?"
These things are too eye-catching. Nowadays, people can't even afford to eat. Wouldn't it make people jealous if you buy these for your wedding?
If she accepted these things, her daughter's dowry would not be good enough and people would gossip about it.
"Didn't you buy a watch for that girl An An? That's enough. The meat is not in the folds. There's no need for us to show off."
My daughter is also good at hiding things. She wore the watch for several days before she discovered it and said it was a gift from Lu Yanzhou.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say." Lu Yanzhou thought about it and agreed.
He also felt that his mother-in-law was very insightful, so he didn't mention buying these things anymore.
Anyway, I can buy these after he gets married.
Talking about the banquet, Yang Hongmei said, "On the wedding day, we should invite close relatives to a meal with one or two tables. Everyone is short of food now, and we can't attract too much attention."
According to her, she didn't even want to invite anyone. It would be best if the two families could just have a meal together.
"I'll figure out the rice issue. Isn't one or two tables too little?" Lu Yanzhou was not very happy.
He remembered that when his eldest brother got married, he set up ten tables.
There were only two tables at my wedding, and it always felt a bit too little.
He also wanted to invite his former good friends to have a meal together, as he had told them that he was going to get married.
"There's really no need for that. Even if you treat these people in the village to a meal, they'll still gossip about you behind your back. We can just have a meal among ourselves."
Yang Hongmei had long seen through the thoughts of these people in the village.
Seeing Lu Yanzhou frown, his mother also spoke up: "Those friends of yours are all married and have children. If the whole family comes, will there be room? You can just give them some wedding candy to share in the joy!"
This kid just came back because he was shown off by those people and wanted to get back at them.
In the end, Lu Yanzhou never mentioned his two mothers and was suppressed.
As for Mr. Shen and Mr. Lu, they were just listening on the side, and they praised each other a few times, just to fit in.
After the Lu family left, except for a few jealous people, most of the Shen family was happy.
After all, those 100 kilograms of food are real food that everyone can eat.
However, when Wang Zhaodi went back to talk about the Lu family, she was so envious that her eyes turned red after hearing the amount of the betrothal gift.
When she got married, the Lu family only gave her family 500,000 yuan and a few pieces of cloth (the first batch of RMB was large bills, and 500,000 yuan could be exchanged for about 50 yuan of the second edition RMB), and nothing else.
Not only did Lu Lao San give a hundred dollars for the wedding, he also gave so much food.
A few days ago, when she sent clothes back to her mother's house, her mother said that her brother and nephew had lost weight.
It would be better if we could just send all this food back to her parents' home.
The other people in the Lu family don’t know what Wang Zhaodi is thinking, and even if they do, they wouldn’t take it seriously.
After all, apart from wanting to move her husband's things to her parents' home, this person rarely speaks loudly.
However, the fourth son's wife wanted to raise some opinions because she was pregnant, but was suppressed by Lu's mother who said that the money was paid by the third son himself.
