As soon as Ye Dashan returned home, Sun Erni rushed over to him and asked anxiously, "Dad, what did the second son say?"
Ye Dashan glared at her unhappily, then walked straight into the house with his hands behind his back.
Sun Erni hurriedly followed, "Speak up! You're going to make me anxious to death! Did you give me money?"
Ye Dashan sat cross-legged on the kang and slammed the table, cursing, "Is it okay if you don't pay? I told you long ago not to rush, and that we can move in after I finish talking to the second brother first, but you wouldn't listen and moved in as if you were reincarnated. Now, you've even spent twenty yuan!"
"What? You really gave me twenty?! How could you be so stupid!"
"As soon as I got there, Qingqing told Lao Er everything. I didn't even have a chance to open my mouth. When Lao Er heard that we moved in overnight, he looked very upset. If I don't pay, we won't be able to be brothers anymore. Do I still want to save my reputation?"
When Sun Erni heard that it was Ye Qing who had caused the trouble again, she cursed angrily, "This little troublemaker, I don't know who has replaced his soul, he is annoying people all day long, why can't God have eyes! Thunder strike this little bastard to death!"
Ye Dashan waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, stop talking about those useless things. I'll find someone to help write the paperwork tomorrow. From now on, this room will belong to our family."
Sun Erni came closer to him with a pouty mouth, "His father, I still feel bad."
Ye Dashan's eyes narrowed, "Even if I lose money, I have to swallow it! Don't mention this matter again. If we say it's 20 yuan, it's not a loss. If we sell this house to someone else, it will be more troublesome. Are you willing to live in the same yard with outsiders?"
Sun Erni shook her head, "I definitely don't want to."
"That's it. I'm hungry. Let's go cook."
Sun Erni pouted and reluctantly went to the kitchen to cook.
The next morning, Liu Hehua came again, this time to discuss the engagement date and the betrothal gifts. According to custom, Ye Qing could not be present as it would make people laugh, so she took Ye Ping and Ye Lan to the mountain to cut grass.
About an hour and a half later, she thought it was about time and took her two sisters home. When they arrived at the door, they happened to run into Ye Dashan coming out of their house.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Hey, uncle, are you here to send money to our family?"
Ye Dashan glared at her unhappily and walked away with his hands behind his back without saying a word.
Seeing this, Ye Qing quickly looked at Ye Erzhu and asked, "Dad, have you signed the documents? Have you paid the money?"
Ye Erzhu nodded, "It's signed, and the twenty yuan has been paid."
"Where's the paperwork? Let me take a look."
Ye Qingzhen was afraid that his father had been cheated.
Ye Erzhu also saw what she was thinking and said with a smile, "He's in the house, don't let your imagination run wild. Your uncle is not that kind of person."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing rolled his eyes silently in his heart, then put down the backpack and went into the house.
She picked up the document and read it carefully, and was relieved when she found that there was indeed no problem.
"Mom, what did Aunt Liu say?"
Wang Juan smiled and tapped her forehead, scolding, "Are you so anxious? You are a grown woman, and you have no shame!"
Ye Qing stuck out her tongue and said in a tender voice, "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. There is nothing to be ashamed of! Tell me, what did you say?"
Wang Juan stopped hanging her and said with a smile, "Your aunt said that the Xiang family wants to come over in three days to propose marriage, so you can officially settle the marriage. The betrothal gift is five yuan for the bride price, five feet of cloth for you to make clothes, and two chickens.
That's all, what do you think? "
Ye Qing pretended not to understand and said, "I don't understand these either. What do you think?"
"I think it's OK. Although it's not much, it's not too little either. Given their situation, they are sincere in offering so many things.
Since your father and I have agreed to your marriage, we want you to live a good life. If you really empty their family's pockets, you will suffer if you marry them. They still have to hold a wedding banquet, right? "
Many families in the village were poor and could not afford to hold a wedding banquet. On the wedding day, the bride was taken home by the groom with a small bag on her back, and that was considered a wedding. So the Xiang family was able to hold a wedding banquet, which was what Ye Erzhu and his wife were quite satisfied with, and it also made their daughter proud.
"That's it. By the way, Mom, we're getting engaged, should I prepare something for Changlin as well?"
"You don't have to prepare anything. When you two get engaged, you can make him a pair of shoes. That's the idea anyway."
Ye Qing nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Ye Erzhu added, "I have discussed with your mother that these things given by the Xiang family will be taken away as dowry when you get married, and we will not keep them. Now that we have sold the house, we have some money in hand. We will give you five more yuan when the time comes. You must hold on to these ten yuan and save them for emergencies. Don't spend them all stupidly! Our family is not rich, and if you have any problems in the future, we will not be able to help you. It is better to have money in your hands so that you will not panic when encountering problems!"
If they hadn't separated as soon as they got married, they wouldn't have let her take all these things back. Now this can be considered as a help to their small family. Whether they will have a good or bad life in the future depends on themselves.
Ye Qing was deeply touched when he heard them thinking so much about him.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, Changlin and I will definitely make our life better, and you will also benefit from it when the time comes! We will honor you well!"
Wang Juan touched her sallow face lovingly, "Mom believes you, I'm just waiting to benefit from my daughter's help!"
Ye Qing chuckled and threw himself into her arms.
Ye Qing was lying on the kang at night, bored, thinking about what to do next. The wedding house would take about a month to build, so the wedding date would have to be set a month later at the earliest. She couldn't just wait during this period, she had to do something to supplement the family income. Even if she waited to get married, everything would cost money. This time, in order to marry her and Xiang Changlin, the Xiang family must have owed a lot of money. If she only relied on the family to earn a little money to pay off the debt, it would take years, so the most urgent thing was to find a way to make money.
There were so many things in the space, Ye Qing believed that it should be no problem to just take some rice and flour to the commune or the county town to secretly find someone to exchange it. The key point was that it would be difficult to explain to his family if he did so, and there must be a reason to make money. Now the family was poor and there was nothing that could be exchanged for money. Ye Qing thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything. He had a headache and fell asleep without knowing when.
