Chapter 2141: Fifty Thousand Can Marry Her
As for the younger one, it was impossible for Xiao Jun to know his name. There were many people working in the garden. To Xiao Jun, they were like the scenery in the garden. He never thought about getting to know them or remembering them.
The two men were walking and talking, and they didn't notice Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun didn't want to be discovered either. He just wanted to paint quietly for a while and didn't want to talk to anyone.
But soon, their conversation caught Xiao Jun's attention.
Liu Dong said, "You should pay more attention to this one. The price of this flower is enough for you to marry a beautiful wife."
"How much?"
"Fifty thousand pots."
"Tsk!" the young man exclaimed, "But getting a wife isn't that cheap these days."
"That depends on where you marry her," Liu Dong said. "In our village, you can marry a village beauty with 50,000 yuan!"
The young man chuckled and said, "That's impossible. I heard that the betrothal gifts in the village are no less than those in the city now."
"I'm not lying to you. I just came back from a banquet at noon. In our village, the Wang family beat up their daughter and married her to an old cripple for 50,000 yuan. The old man has a weird personality and is lustful, but he can't stand the man's wealth. He was in a car accident a few years ago and broke a leg. He extorted over 200,000 yuan from the man. He married two wives before, but they were both tortured to death by him. In the end, the Wang family still pushed their daughter into the fire pit. All for 50,000 yuan!"
As he said this, he sighed, "A beautiful young lady is not as precious as this pot of flowers!"
The young man echoed, "So people still have to be reborn. It would be better to be reborn as a pot of flowers in Young Master Xiao's house than to be reborn into a family like that."
"Who said it wasn't?" Liu Dong said with a smile. "By the way, if I told you who that girl was, you would regret it to death."
"Ah? You mean..."
"Guessed it? That's right, it's the one you like, Ruomu."
"I can marry Ruomu for 50,000?"
"right."
"Well, I have 80,000 yuan in savings and a house in the county. If I had known, I would have gone to propose!" The young man said regretfully, and then asked, "If I go now, will it be too late?"
"You're out of luck, bro. Didn't I just tell you that I just got back from a banquet at noon, and they're getting married today?"
The young man beat his chest and stamped his feet, full of regret. Liu Dong patted his shoulder and said, "If you meet the right one next time, don't wait any longer. By the time you think everything is ready, the good girl will have already become someone else's wife."
As he was speaking, Liu Dong looked at Xiao Jun, his face changed, he pulled the young man's arm, and they both lowered their heads.
Xiao Jun just heard them talking about Ruomu, so he stood up and came over. Now he was in front of the two of them.
Liu Dong said respectfully, "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here. Sorry to bother you."
Xiao Jun took a deep look at the young gardener who wanted to marry Ruomu for 80,000 yuan, and then his eyes fell on Liu Dong.
"Repeat what you just said to me again."
"Ah... this..." Liu Dong licked his lips and stammered, "That's right, if you meet the right one next time, don't wait any longer. By the time you think everything is ready, the good girl will have become someone else's wife..."
Hearing this, Xiao Jun took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"That's not it. You just said who was getting married today."
"Ruomu! The girl who worked here before."
Even after asking for the second time, Xiao Jun still didn't believe that Ruomu would get married.
She is only nineteen, not even of legal marriage age.
"Are you sure?"
Liu Dong said that this was absolutely true. He had gone to a banquet at noon today and saw with his own eyes Ruomu wearing a red veil, being held by two old women on each side, stepping over the brazier and marrying the old cripple.
Every word Liu Dong said seemed to be true, but when it entered Xiao Jun's ears, it felt very magical and not real at all.
What about being held by an old woman, what about marrying an old cripple...
He had only attended luxurious weddings on yachts and had never seen anyone walking across a fire basin to worship heaven and earth. He had also only seen beautiful brides in white wedding dresses, followed by cute little flower girls holding up the hems of their dresses, but he had never seen an old woman holding up the bride!
The scene described by Liu Dong is like another world, more like a feudal society with arranged marriages!
So Xiao Jun asked Liu Dong to tell him in detail everything he knew, why Ruomu suddenly got married, even though she had gone to Haicheng to work.
Liu Dong confessed everything.
Ruomu had just settled down in the city when, somehow, the old man who had been eyeing her for a long time found out about this.
The old man went to her house to propose marriage with a betrothal gift of 50,000 yuan. Ruomu's parents took the money and went to the city to bring their daughter back.
If Ruomu refused to marry, her father lied to her and said that the betrothal money had already been given and spent, and it could not be refunded. If she did not marry, her younger sister would have to marry him.
But his sister was not yet an adult, and Ruomu felt sorry for her, so he said he would find a way to raise the money and asked how much was needed.
Her parents mentioned 100,000 right away.
I thought Ruomu couldn't come up with the money, so she just went to get married obediently. I didn't expect this girl to be so capable and actually borrowed 100,000 yuan.
But her parents changed their minds, withheld the 100,000 yuan, and tied Ruomu up.
As a result of this incident, the family earned 150,000 yuan in total. They did not dare to delay for a single day and happily held a wedding for their daughter.
In order to make the marriage go smoothly, they knocked Ruomu unconscious and asked two old matchmakers to hold her on both sides while they held a ceremony with the old man.
Only Ruomu's little sister was crying so sadly, begging everyone to save her sister.
Liu Dong stopped the little sister and learned these things from her.
But who would help her sister? This kind of thing is nothing new. Just watch it for fun. If you really help Ruomu, you will get yourself into trouble.
Later, the little sister kept crying and was taken home by her parents and locked up. This was how Ruomu's wedding was completed.
After Liu Dong said this, he carefully looked at Xiao Jun's expression.
"So she asked me to borrow money for this..."
"Oh, I was wondering how this girl could possibly know such a rich friend. Turns out it's you!"
Xiao Jun looked at Liu Dong with a gloomy face: "Do you know where Ruomu is now?"
"I know...I know...it's the old cripple's house..."
"Wait for me downstairs, I'll lead the way later."
Liu Dong blinked and stood at attention like a soldier: "Yes!"
Xiao Jun walked quickly into the villa.
Liu Dong and the young man beside him were still standing there in a daze, looking at each other.
The younger one asked Liu Dong: "What's going on?"
Liu Dong narrowed his eyes, smiled, and patted his shoulder. "Get your 80,000 yuan ready. Your little sister Ruomu might really become your wife!"
The young man scratched his head and chuckled, "Is this true? Why?"
"The money Ruomu's parents embezzled belongs to our Young Master Xiao. That's 100,000 yuan. Can Young Master Xiao be such a sucker? I think Ruomu's marriage is probably going to be canceled."
The young gardener looked in the direction where Xiao Shao had left, then glanced at the pot of flowers worth fifty thousand yuan, and said hesitantly, "But why do I feel that Xiao Shao is not doing this for the money, but for the people..."
