Chapter 136 A Dowry of Three Hundred Yuan



Zhongnan finally got his wish and married a young, beautiful, brave, and witty wolf wife.

Being away from home has become commonplace for him. After all, he now has his own little family, and he wants to start having his own wolf cubs as soon as possible.

Zhongnan was never home, so Zhongzi took his place, faithfully following Yan Xiaonan everywhere he went.

Grandma Yan looked at Zhongzi, who resembled Zhongnan University so much, with a hint of disdain in her eyes. A wolf is a wolf, and a dog is a dog. In terms of intelligence and physical strength, Zhongzi was simply far inferior.

No wonder Central South University didn't even glance at neutrons. Sigh, one's background is still very important.

Of the three wild boars that day, Yan Xiaonan kept the smaller one for himself, as there wasn't much wild boar meat left in the family.

The two large ones were sold to the fat chef at the state-run restaurant. When the fat chef heard that Cuihua had asked him to drive his tricycle to the foot of the mountain to wait for her, his eyes lit up.

Hunting on-site? No way, I have to go and see for myself. That Qiangzi is a tough guy; I have to see with my own eyes how he hunts.

"Brother Qiang's wife, you ride your bike back slowly by yourself. I'll go check on things first," the chubby driver said to Cuihua as he started his tricycle.

Cuihua smiled, thinking, "Every man would enjoy this kind of exciting life, right?"

After saying goodbye to the restaurant staff, Cuihua rode her bicycle home.

When the fat man arrived at the foot of the mountain, he heard the howl of the mother wolf and saw Zhongnan rushing uphill.

The fat driver was so scared he almost overturned the car. Oh my god, there really are wolves in the mountains!

Was that a wolf just now? Qiangzi chased it away. Qiangzi is really amazing. We must never offend this guy.

By the time the fat master came to his senses, Yan Xiaoqiang and Tang Jianjun were carrying two wild boars down the mountain.

The fat chef's mind raced. Could it be that the wolf had come to steal the wild boar, and that's why Qiangzi and this man chased it away? Hmm, that must be it.

Even in the dead of winter, wolves need to eat meat. They must be drooling over such a big wild boar.

Southwest knew the fat driver and, seeing him standing by the car in a daze, assumed he was frightened.

He coughed, finally interrupting the fat master's rambling thoughts.

She quickly ran up and circled around the two wild boars. Grandma's mouth said that the two wild boars must weigh at least five or six hundred pounds together.

"Qiangzi, I won't stand on ceremony. Seven hundred yuan for two pigs, is that alright?"

Yan Xiaoqiang looked at the fat face that was obviously much more obsequious than usual, and thought to himself that this fat chef was catering to different tastes, but he still nodded with a smile on his face.

The three men loaded the two wild boars onto the tricycle. The fat driver took out seven hundred yuan and handed it to Yan Xiaoqiang, but his eyes suddenly fell on a piglet on the ground.

Just as he was about to speak, Yan Xiaonan said, "Dad, I want to take this little one back to give to Grandma."

Okay, they're giving food to the elderly, so we can't spoil the child's filial piety.

The fat chef wisely shut his mouth. "Qiangzi, come find me again if you have any meat. I want it all as long as you bring it."

Watching the fat man rush back in his car, Yan Xiaoqiang handed all seven hundred yuan to Tang Jianjun.

Tang Jianjun was startled: "Qiangzi, my daughter can just do odd jobs, why would she need so much money?"

Yan Xiaoqiang glanced at Southwest, and the anxious look on his face made Yan Xiaoqiang feel that he had raised this son in vain.

"The extra three hundred was the bride price my family gave me." Yan Xiaoqiang decided to grant the wish.

Southwest's lips curled into a wide smile, and after a moment of stunned silence, Tang Jianjun generously accepted the money.

“Okay, I also have my eye on the Southwest region. You’ve given too much in terms of betrothal gifts. Fortunately, I have time to earn more money so I can make up for Xiaoling’s dowry.”

“You don’t need to work so hard. You should use this money to find connections and get a better job. Then you’ll have everything you need,” Yan Xiaoqiang emphasized.

Tang Jianjun nodded. The better his son-in-law's job, the better it would be for his daughter.

Yan Xiaoqiang and Xinan carried the baby wild boar on a shoulder pole and led Yan Xiaonan home.

Tang Jianjun returned home with a smile on his face. The three wild boars were all brought down from Southeast China, and the pork seller was also found by Yan Xiaoqiang, but he took the money himself.

Xiaoling has a really good eye. Southwest is hardworking and honest, and the Yan family treats their daughter-in-law well. Just look at Cuihua and Xuemei to see.

Tang Xiaoling and her wife were anxiously waiting at home. Although hunting wild boar with Yan Xiaoqiang was safe, today they were going to the southwest instead of the southeast.

Their hearts were pounding with anxiety until Tang Jianjun's figure appeared in the vast white snow, at which point the mother and daughter excitedly ran towards him.

Seeing his wife and daughter run out, Tang Jianjun quickly waved them back, saying that they would freeze their ears off if they came out in such cold weather without hats.

When Tang's mother regained consciousness, she quickly pulled Xiaoling home, worried that she might catch a cold and get married.

Xiaoling blushed and became worried. She was afraid that she might catch a cold and get sick. She quickly pulled her mother back home.

He held the steaming cup in his hands, and only after his body and hands had warmed up did Tang Jianjun take off his thick cotton-padded coat.

He took out seven hundred yuan from his padded jacket pocket and placed it on the kang table, which startled Tang Xiaoling and her mother so much that they couldn't speak.

Tang Jianjun repeated Yan Xiaoqiang's words, and Tang's mother exclaimed, "What? They gave a bride price of 300 yuan? That's too much! How are we going to reciprocate?"

Tang Jianjun laughed, "We'll just try our best to contribute, but the Yan family doesn't need any return gift from you."

Tang's mother recalled the scene of Xue Mei and Dong Nan's wedding. Xue Mei didn't have a single penny of dowry, but the Yan family gave Xue Mei a bride price, so she got married in a very respectable way.

The shrewd Mrs. Tang said to her daughter, whose face was as red as a monkey's bottom, "Xiaoling, you are different from Xuemei. Xuemei grew up in the Yan family since she was a child. You need to have a sense of right and wrong."

Xiaoling didn't understand, why do I need a scale?

"The most precious person in the Yan family is Yan Xiaonan, and the person we should be most filial to is Grandma Yan. If you can smooth things over for these two, everything will be fine," Mother Tang said earnestly.

Tang Jianjun and Tang Xiaoling nodded at the same time, saying that she was right and that Southwest was always my grandmother and my Nannan.

“Once winter is over, I’ll go to town and try to get Southwest a better job. How about Xiaoling gets a general labor job?” Tang Jianjun asked.

Yan Xiaoling nodded. She didn't know many characters and only had a basic understanding of carpentry, so she could only do odd jobs.

Tang's mother went to the kitchen to cook some good dishes. Her daughter's marriage had been arranged, so she had to prepare some nice dishes today.

Tang Xiaoling went back to her room, took out a box, which Southwest had made by hand, and put a dozen or so yuan in loose change inside.

I still remember what Southwest said when he handed me the box:

"Xiaoling, this money is what I've saved up. Take it and buy some face cream and a few hair ties."
