Not to mention Boss He, who has been very quick-witted since he was a child.
I heard that he often collected some wild game and went to the black market in the county town to exchange it for some money.
However, hunting in the mountains is never always a good thing.
Old He's leg was pierced through by a wild boar while he was climbing a mountain. He couldn't dodge in time and the boar's tusks went right through him.
Although he survived, his leg was basically ruined.
Normally, even walking a short distance makes me incredibly sore, let alone going hunting in the mountains.
However, the He family does not only have one son, the eldest son.
When the three brothers, Old Man He and his brother, were mountain dwellers, they bought a woman and brought her up the mountain.
That woman bore four sons for her brothers, but the last one died during childbirth due to complications. He became stuck in her womb and died along with his unborn child.
Old Man He's two older brothers also lost their lives while hunting.
When they came down the mountain, Old Man He brought his four sons with him.
When they registered their household in the village, they all gave the name of Old Man He's son.
But did anyone in the know know that the sons of Old Man He's two older brothers were also among them?
However, back in the mountains, no one knew who was whose child.
For Old Man He, whether it was his or his two brothers' children, they were all from the He family, so it didn't matter at all.
So when the eldest brother's legs were crippled, his three younger brothers naturally had to stand up.
No matter what, finding a wife for my elder brother and continuing the He family line are essential.
However, everyone in the village who knew the He family's background understood that marrying into the He family was like jumping into a fire pit.
Therefore, even though the dowry given by the He family was not small, they basically kept their distance from them.
Zhang Dagen let slip while drinking with the youngest son of the He family that his wife's younger sister was studying in high school in the county town, and that she was not only beautiful but also smart.
He's youngest son remembered it and even secretly went to the school in the county town to see Fu Xiuhua in person.
I must say, he was incredibly handsome, making one's heart flutter with desire.
When he got home and told Boss He, Boss He saw that his younger brother looked very satisfied, so he nodded in agreement!
Not only did they promise a dowry of 200 yuan, they also promised Zhang Dagen an additional 50 yuan as a matchmaker fee if he successfully arranged the marriage.
This delighted Zhang Dagen, which led to the conversation he had with Fu Xiuye that morning.
However, this money is not so easy to earn.
In the past, with only the eldest sister-in-law in the Fu family, as long as her own wife went back, she could trick her second sister into coming over, and then the deed would be done, and she would have no choice but to marry him!
I'll take out 100 yuan of that 200 yuan, and that should be enough!
But now, the eldest son of the Fu family is here.
He's a veteran, not someone you can easily talk to.
There was no other way but to tell the truth and hand over the 200 yuan betrothal gift. He refused to believe that there was anyone in the world who wouldn't be greedy for money.
The thought of losing the 100 yuan dowry made Zhang Dagen feel as if someone had ripped out his own flesh.
However, the 50 yuan matchmaker fee was some consolation.
After hearing her son's words, Old Lady Zhang's expression indeed improved considerably. Remembering that the person he was talking about was Fu Xiuye's sister, she treated her a little better.
At lunchtime, she was allowed to sit at the table and eat with everyone, which made Fu Xiuye so happy that she almost lost her bearings.
So, when the three Xiaofeng sisters hadn't returned by noon, Fu Xiuye didn't think much of it.
