It would be impossible to complete the task in two days with only one tractor, so the village chief arranged a larger team to pull the pigs over with a cart.
Chen Wang and his companions ran back and forth twice in the morning.
I wasn't very tired, but sitting on the tractor and smelling the odors of those cows was a bit uncomfortable.
Just when Chen Wang was having lunch with his wife and the little girl, Chen Ying came over angrily with Dong Qinghua, carrying a large canvas bag in his hand.
"Awang, Xiuqin!!"
“What… is going on?”
When Chen Wang heard his cousin's voice, he stood up with his bowl and chopsticks, walked to the door, and looked at the two of them in surprise.
Dong Qinghua smiled bitterly and said nothing.
"I'm so mad, Awang, I might have to stay at your place for a few days, is that ok?"
Chen Ying asked directly and to the point.
"Sure, do you want to live alone, or..."
Chen Wang hesitated to speak and glanced at Dong Qinghua beside him.
"Pfft, pfft, what are you thinking? I live with Xiaoyu."
Chen Ying said with a blushing face.
Dong Qinghua's expectant eyes suddenly dimmed when he heard this.
It's winter now, and he came here from far away alone. It would be best if someone could warm his bed.
"Sister Ying, do you want to live with me?"
The little girl asked with a look of surprise.
"Yes, are you welcome?"
"Of course you're welcome!"
"That's great. My love for you is not in vain."
Chen Ying smiled, picked up his luggage and walked towards the little girl's room.
"I'll take the stuff first."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet!"
Dong Qinghua smiled bitterly.
"Then come in quickly and sit down to eat together."
Chen Wang hurriedly invited.
Lin Xiuqin immediately stood up and went to the kitchen to serve food to the two of them.
"You didn't prepare anything in advance, will there not be enough food?"
Dong Qinghua walked into the house.
"No, there's a lot of rice cooked."
"That's good!"
"Please sit down!"
"Thanks!"
After the two sat down, Lin Xiuqin quickly brought two bowls of rice.
Chen Ying also put away her luggage, walked quickly over and sat down next to Dong Qinghua, still looking angry.
"Eat first, and then talk while you eat. What's going on?"
Chen Wang asked with a smile.
Dong Qinghua still didn't say anything. He just focused on picking up the dishes and put a piece of food into Chen Ying's bowl.
"I had a quarrel with my parents, and they refused to compromise. I am not going back, so I will spend the New Year with you this year."
As he spoke, Chen Ying picked up the bowl and started shoveling food into his mouth in big mouthfuls.
Chen Wang was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course I welcome it. It's Chinese New Year, the more people there are at home, the more lively it is."
"I welcome it too!"
The little girl raised her left hand high and agreed with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin smiled gently, and was obviously very happy about it.
Seeing this, Chen Ying and Dong Qinghua were very moved.
Especially Chen Ying, thinking about the attitude of her biological parents and younger brother, and comparing it with the enthusiasm of Chen Wang's family of three at this time, she really knows the cold and the warmth.
Afterwards, Chen Ying narrated the whole story while eating his meal.
She said a lot, some of her words were emotional.
But to sum up, it was pretty much what Chen Wang expected.
After Chen Ying and Dong Qinghua argued and made their attitude clear for two days, Chen Ying's parents finally compromised and agreed that the two could get married.
However, there are conditions.
Chen Ying's mother said that she and her husband had worked so hard to raise their daughter, but now her daughter was going to marry and live far away in Guangzhou. She might only come back once during the Chinese New Year and it would be difficult for her to help the family.
Therefore, they asked Chen Ying to leave the money she had saved from working in the past few years at home. In addition, Dong Qinghua had to give a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan, which Chen Ying could not take back.
After hearing this, Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin were both shocked.
I knew that family was not a good family, but I didn't expect them to be so shameless.
A betrothal gift of ten thousand yuan!
What does it mean to be a ten thousand yuan household these days?
Dong Qinghua's family runs a clothing business in Yangcheng, so they might be able to come up with the 10,000 yuan, but it is extremely rare to find someone who can ask for such a high amount of money for a bride price these days.
And Chen Ying was asked to keep the little money he had earned from working hard over the years at home?
Chen Ying has been making clothes for others in Yangcheng in recent years. The money she earns is really hard-earned, stitch by stitch, through labor and time.
Yes, parents pay a lot to raise a child.
But this cannot be a reason to ask for something in return from the children!
What's more, Chen Ying did not receive much love and care from her parents since she was a child in a family that favors boys over girls.
After Chen Ying went out to earn money independently in the past few years, she still thought about her family. She came back every year to bring so many things and gave her parents some living expenses. She had already done enough.
"Sister, don't be sad. Haven't you been mentally prepared before?"
Seeing that Chen Ying's eyes were moistening as she spoke, Chen Wang hurriedly said something to comfort her.
"That being said, I still didn't expect them to be so cruel. Why?"
When he said this, Chen Ying's nose felt sore and his voice became hoarse.
"Okay, okay, why are you crying? Stop crying!"
Dong Qinghua felt distressed when he saw this and quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears that were overflowing from her eyes.
"Sister, I once saw a sentence!"
Chen Wang suddenly said.
"What?"
Chen Ying looked up at him.
