Chapter 570 Eldest Sister 27
Ning Yan looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. Hu Xiaoman realized that she hadn't given her enough money, so she quickly stuffed some into Ning Yan's pocket. "Big sister, we're family now, so don't be so polite with me."
Ning Yan: "...No, actually it's not..."
"I know, you can keep it, there's plenty of change."
In the end, Ning Yan reluctantly accepted the money.
Then she took out several cosmetics from her bag that she had already replaced with new bottles.
Of course, she was genuinely wronged. Each of these cosmetics costs tens of thousands of yuan, so she really lost out.
"I'll tell you how to use it, and you'll get the hang of it after trying it a couple of times."
This set of cosmetics should last at least three months. After three months, it will be too late for my younger brother to change his mind.
After finishing her makeup, Ning Yan ate breakfast with the Hu family. Then the four of them took the bus back to the village.
When it comes to finding a partner, it's impossible without your parents present.
When she returned to the village, the villagers had just finished work. Ning Yan took the man home. He hadn't come home all night, so Ning Yan quickly went to find her baby son and breastfed him. The baby had been fed formula when she went out yesterday.
That milk powder is so expensive, seven or eight yuan a bag, and the key is that you need a coupon, so we should save it.
After taking care of the child and giving instructions to her mother-in-law, Ning Yan went back to her parents' home. She had her younger brother tidy her up, wash her thoroughly, and change her into clean clothes. Only when she finally looked presentable was she brought home.
Hu Xiaoman's eyes lit up the moment she saw Ning Qiang.
The younger brother was ecstatic when he saw Hu Xiaoman.
A plump person is considered prosperous, and a fair complexion is said to cover up many flaws.
Ning Yan also shaped her eyebrows, drew a high nose bridge, applied eyeliner and eyelashes, and slightly modified her cheeks, making her face appear a bit smaller.
So the younger brother took a liking to it at first sight.
He's better than all the men introduced by Matchmaker Zhou. The eldest sister even said that his family is well-off, both husband and wife have jobs, and Hu Xiaoman is their only daughter. He'll only be able to enjoy a life of luxury after marrying into the family.
The Hu family was very satisfied with their future son-in-law, and since they had five siblings and a pair of twins, Ning Qiang's fertility should be quite good.
The two looked like they were in love, and Ning Yan felt it was time to talk about the bride price. Her younger brother was in the way, so she said, "Younger brother, why don't you take Xiaoman and the other girl out for a walk so they can get to know each other better?"
The younger brother happily led Hu Xiaoman away.
The Hu couple also talked to Ning Yan about their two children getting married.
"I won't hide it from you two. My parents have passed away, and I, as the eldest sister, have to take care of the family affairs. I have three younger brothers, and I have to look after each of them. I really have limited abilities. Otherwise, I would never have let my eldest brother marry into the family."
"I understand."
If it weren't for poverty, which man would be willing to live with his wife's family?
“When my younger brother marries into your family, the children will naturally take your family name. No matter how many children they have, we will not let them take our family name. I can guarantee that.”
The Hu couple's eyes lit up. They were wise men. If their daughter didn't take their family name, why would they bother finding her a husband?
“My younger brother has no other faults, except that he doesn’t like to work. He only earns about seven or eight work points a day. You must keep a close eye on him when he marries into your family.”
Want to marry into that family and enjoy a life of luxury? Dream on.
Go and serve the Hu family of three like slaves every day!
Hu Da thought to himself that this girl was genuine and spoke her mind.
"By the way, it is said that a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. Although my younger brother is a man, the same principle applies. We will not bother your family if anything happens to us in the future."
See, I've made myself so clear. Surely you won't skimp on the bride price when we talk about it later.
Hu Da understood the deeper meaning behind Ning Yan's words. It meant that they, as sons-in-law, would no longer need to visit their wife's family home, which would save them a lot on holiday gifts.
As a result, Ning Qiang was sold to Ning Yan for a high price.
"If you ask me, I'll take my brother to get a letter of introduction later so they can get their marriage certificate as soon as possible. As for the wedding, your family can choose a date later."
Hu Da clapped his hands: "I like it, so it's settled then?"
"I've accepted the bride price, it's settled!"
Two hundred and forty yuan! That's forty yuan more than the original owner made.
"It's just that the wedding was so rushed that I didn't even have a chance to prepare a new set of clothes for my younger brother..."
"It's okay, I'll buy it for him when we get the marriage certificate."
Ning Yan was delighted; that would be perfect, saving her a lot of trouble.
"By the way, Uncle Hu, my brother is marrying into the family, so there are some things we shouldn't publicize, don't you think?" For example, we shouldn't talk about the bride price or anything like that, it would only cause trouble.
The Hu couple nodded in unison, "Of course." If word got out, it would seem like they were buying a man for their daughter.
"Then I'll go call someone."
After Ning Yan finished speaking, she went out of the house, found her younger brother to open the letter, ate lunch at home, put her younger brother's things in a bundle, and sent him to the carriage in the afternoon.
Younger brother: ...No, he just got married like that?
Although he was very satisfied with his wife, shouldn't there be some things they should talk about?
He was right, but nobody paid any attention to him.
Ning Yan had already gotten the money, so why did she care whether he lived or died?
After seeing the person off, Ning Yan immediately took out a hundred yuan and gave it to her mother-in-law. "Mother, please keep this money. You've worked hard these past two days. You even slaughtered a chicken at noon. Why don't you buy two more chicks?"
"Why are you giving me money, kid? How can you not entertain relatives when they come to visit?"
Wang Cuiyun refused to take her daughter-in-law's money no matter what, but in the end, Ning Yan forcefully stuffed the money into her mother-in-law's pocket.
"My younger brother is not young anymore, so I'll have to trouble you again next time."
Wang Cuiyun: ...If she remembers correctly, her daughter-in-law's second brother is only sixteen, right? Is she already thinking about selling him?
Bah! The daughter-in-law is clearly finding support for her younger brothers. She is so kind. She has taken on the responsibility of the family at such a young age. The three Ning brothers are truly blessed to have such a loving sister as their daughter-in-law!
Speaking of her second brother, Ning Yan took her child and went back to her parents' home again. Anyway, it wasn't far away, only ten minutes at most.
"Second and third brothers, your eldest brother has already left with your sister-in-law. From now on, it's just the two of you brothers at home. You must work hard and take good care of your faces."
Your eldest brother only married into a working-class family because he's good-looking, and his wife is an only child. All of his wife's family's assets will eventually belong to you, younger brother.
You're both good-looking; maybe you'll find a good partner in the future.
Second brother: "Big sister, we have nothing at home, and no woman is willing to marry into our family. Why don't you find me someone to marry into the family?"
Ning Yan patted her son's hand and said, "You want to marry into the family? That won't do. Your eldest brother had no choice but to marry out because there wasn't enough food for the family."
Now that he's married, you two shouldn't go hungry even though there's one less person, right?
"We won't go hungry, but we don't have the money to get married."
Ning Yan sighed in a mocking manner, "Sigh, if only our mother hadn't gotten sick back then, we could have saved the money, and she could have taken care of finding you a wife."
