Lin Tian squatted at the gate of the compound for less than half an hour.
Then I saw Yan Fugui coming back happily from a distance.
Yan Fugui was a little surprised to see Lin Tian sitting at the door suddenly. He had never seen Lin Tian staying at the gate of the compound before, and he was a little uncomfortable to see Lin Tian at the door suddenly.
When Lin Tian saw Yan Fugui coming back, he took the initiative to ask with a smile: "Where did the Third Uncle go? Did he go to school?"
Yan Fugui was stunned for a moment, but immediately replied: "Oh, yes, yes, I'm going back to school to get some things. Hey, I've been a little forgetful today."
"Xiao Lin, why are you standing at the door?"
Lin Tian said with a smile: "I don't have anything to do, just sit here for a while and get some fresh air."
"Then you sit down first. I think it's time for dinner at home, so I'll go back first!" Yan Fugui found an excuse and went into the yard.
Lin Tian pricked up his ears to listen to what happened after Yan Fugui returned home.
After Yan Fugui entered the house, he sighed and said to the third aunt, "Hey, you said that every day, we have to keep it a secret to arrange a marriage for Jie Cheng."
"What's wrong?" asked the third aunt in confusion.
Yan Fugui said: "When I went out just now, I met Xiaolin coming back. He asked me where I had been, and I said I went to school to get something."
"When I just came back, I met Xiaolin at the gate of the compound again. He asked me what I had been doing."
At this point, Yan Fugui suddenly asked, "Do you think Xiaolin already knows that Jie Cheng is getting married?"
"No way, didn't he just see Jie Cheng and Yu Li walking together? It's okay, even if he knows, we just need to be careful!" said the third aunt.
Yan Fugui nodded slightly, agreeing with what the third aunt said.
The third aunt asked, "What did the matchmaker say when you went to his house?"
"It's settled. I'll come over the day after tomorrow to arrange the gift, and then we'll get it done at the end of this month." Yan Fugui said happily.
The third aunt calculated silently in her heart and said, "It's only a few days away. We can get married after the betrothal gift is paid, right?"
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Yan Fugui nodded with a smile.
"We still have to discuss the amount of the betrothal gift with them. For this, I even gave the matchmaker one dollar to ask her to lower the price!" said Yan Fugui.
Having said this, Yan Fugui stood up suddenly and walked out.
"Where are you going?" asked the third aunt in confusion.
Yan Fugui said this and went out.
"I can't pay for this dollar. I have to go find Jie Cheng to get it back. I'm doing this for him, so how can I pay for it?"
"Jiecheng, Jiecheng, Jiecheng!" Yan Fugui found Yan Jiecheng lying on the kang while shouting.
"What are you doing? Has the matter been settled?" Yan Jiecheng asked.
Yan Fugui nodded and said, "It's settled. The matchmaker has gone to the Yu family to discuss the betrothal gift."
Hearing Yan Fugui say this, Yan Jiecheng's face revealed a look of joy. Although he is disabled now, Yan Jiecheng thought that if he had such a beautiful wife, he would definitely not be disabled forever.
"That's great!" Yan Jiecheng jumped up from the kang happily.
Yan Fugui said straight to the point: "Give me two dollars!"
Hearing Yan Fugui asking him for money, Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he said in disbelief: "Ah? Dad, you still have to charge me for finding a wife for me!"
"What labor fee? Stop talking nonsense. This is the money I just gave to the matchmaker. If you don't give him some money, how can he say good things for you? When the time comes, he will ask for a high bride price. Are you willing?" Yan Fugui said with disdain.
"Oh, this money? OK, I'll pay for it!" Yan Jiecheng was immersed in the joy of having a wife, so he was very happy that Yan Fugui asked him for matchmaker money.
Yan Jiecheng rummaged on the kang for a while and found two dollars and handed them to Yan Fugui.
"That's enough!" Yan Jiecheng said.
Yan Fugui was not polite and put the money directly into his pocket, then said to Yan Jiecheng: "Give me another 5 yuan!"
"Ah? What do you want money for?" Yan Jiecheng asked with his mouth wide open. Why did he ask for another 5 yuan?
Yan Fugui said with a straight face: "Why do you think I need money? I'm looking for a wife for you for nothing! You have to give me some labor fees!"
After hearing what his father said, Yan Jiecheng wanted to slap himself hard twice. If he hadn't paid the labor fee in advance, Yan Fugui probably wouldn't have remembered it.
Yan Jiecheng said helplessly: "My father, this is the first time I heard that someone asked for money to find a wife for his son. How can this be possible? If this is told to others, it will be a joke!"
However, Yan Fugui didn't think so and retorted: "What's so funny about this? Nowadays, no one works for free. Even working for the landlords in the past didn't work for free."
"No, no, I won't pay for it!" Yan Jiecheng lay straight on the kang and simply ignored Yan Fugui.
"Hurry up and take out your money!" Yan Fugui pushed Yan Jiecheng twice.
"I'm talking to you!" Yan Fugui pushed Yan Jiecheng twice again and said.
Yan Jiecheng knew what kind of person his father was. It was impossible to reason with him about money, so he simply chose to play dead. Anyway, if he didn't pay, he couldn't do anything to him.
Sure enough, when Yan Fugui saw Yan Jiecheng pretending to be dead here, he left after leaving a word.
"Jie Cheng, you have to give me this money!"
Yan Fugui left after he finished speaking, but his leaving didn't mean he didn't want the money anymore. It was several dollars, there was no way Yan Fugui would just give it up like that.
The main thing is that Yan Fugui had already thought about it when he left. He would add the money to Yan Jiecheng's betrothal gift, and then he would deduct the money himself and be done with it.
Lin Tian almost burst out laughing while listening to the conversation between the father and son at the gate of the compound. It was quite rare to find a family that could live like this.
Because Lin Tian had never heard of charging money for finding a wife for his son.
After hearing the whole story, Lin Tian stood up, patted his butt and went home.
Wang Bingbing was cooking in the kitchen while looking outside. When she saw Lin Tian coming back, she immediately put down her work and pulled Lin Tian into the kitchen, asking, "How is it? How is it? Did you hear anything?"
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
Wang Bingbing immediately became excited and said, "Tell me now! Tell me now!"
