The original owner's eldest sister, who was initially hesitant to speak and nervously fidgeting with her fingers, gradually became more and more fluent in her speech, as if it were indeed an absolutely brilliant idea.
Will there be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Will my son not leave me?
Just because he married his own niece?
Yue Jiuyue didn't believe it. The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had nothing to do with whether the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were related. Whether the son would become estranged was the son's problem. Although it was also related to the wife he married, Yue Jiuyue didn't care about these issues at all!
She even secretly hoped to separate the family!
Therefore, the original owner's eldest sister was destined to waste her efforts.
"I'm sorry, sister, life is tough these days. There's been a drought for over a year, and we don't know what this year will be like. My two children don't have any plans to get married yet."
Besides, all the younger ones are siblings. Chao Nan treats your little girl Man'er like a sister and has never had any other thoughts. As for this matter, I'll pretend I never heard you mention it. You should go and look around for Man'er. There are plenty of good young men in the surrounding area; you're sure to find her a suitable match!
Yue Jiuyue's words stunned the original owner's eldest sister and her husband.
They thought that after this trip, the marriage between the two families should be a done deal. Why don't they agree?
"San Ya'er! Listen to me first!"
The original owner's eldest sister didn't want to listen anymore, fearing that if Yue Jiuyue continued, her daughter would have no hope of marrying into her third sister's family. She didn't care about all the conditions that the couple had discussed on the way here, and avoided looking at her husband. She took Yue Jiuyue's hand, lowered her posture, and listed out the advantages of marrying her daughter one by one.
"Sanya, putting everything else aside, just the fact that we're sisters makes us so much better than anyone else! Not only do we know each other inside and out, but my little girl is such a hardworking child, and she has a big bottom. If she marries you, you'll definitely be able to have two big, fat grandsons in three years!"
Besides, given our relationship, we can discuss the betrothal gifts properly. Just give a small token, as long as it makes the young lady look good..."
"Cough! Cough cough! Cough!"
Before the original owner's eldest sister could finish speaking, her husband started coughing incessantly, as if he had tuberculosis, completely interrupting her.
The original owner's eldest sister knew that the man was dissatisfied with her. After all, it had been agreed before they came that, based on the five hundred taels of gold bestowed by the emperor, they would have to ask for a higher dowry.
They want eighty-eight taels of silver, which is nothing compared to five hundred taels of gold; they also want two hundred catties of grain, so their family will have plenty of food and can use it for their son's marriage proposal; they also need two sets of new clothes, one for their daughter and one for their future daughter-in-law; they need to buy their daughter some decent jewelry, and keep one or two for themselves; they also need to build two new houses for the young couple, fully furnished, so their family can also get a little something extra...
Finally, there's the sweet potato seedlings we need to give them for 50 mu of land this year. After all, they have so many relatives, this amount isn't enough for several families to share. And we have to give them the seedlings for free, since the two families are already very close relatives, and this would make our relationship even closer...
The original owner's brother-in-law never expected that before he could even put on airs, his wife would betray him to his face.
