Chapter 490: Marriage Exchange (I)
After Liu Shuyu fed the medicine to Liu Meihua, Lu Xiaoxiao said to Monkey and Wood, "Let them come over."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Monkey and Wood stepped aside and made way for the people they stopped.
"Meihua, do you feel better?" Old Mrs. Liu asked Liu Meihua as she reached the kang.
After hearing what her grandmother said, Liu Meihua blinked at her grandmother, indicating that she was much better now.
When Mrs. Liu saw the look in her granddaughter's eyes, she tucked in the corner of the quilt for her and said, "Have a good rest. Grandma will come to see you tomorrow."
After hearing what her grandmother said, Liu Meihua blinked at her to show that she understood.
"Lu Xiaoxiao, I'm really sorry for saying so many unpleasant things to you just now because I was too anxious." After telling Liu Meihua to have a good rest, Old Lady Liu said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"I don't take it to heart." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing what Old Lady Liu said.
Lu Xiaoxiao's words were from the heart. She always turned a blind eye to the unpleasant words said by strangers. If she really wanted to argue with those people, she would be exhausted.
"I'm glad you don't take it to heart. I'll trouble you with Xiaofeng tonight." Old Mrs. Liu said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"Um."
When Mrs. Liu heard Lu Xiaoxiao's "hmm", she laughed happily, and then she forcibly took the whole family away.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu and her family had left the room, Lu Xiaoxiao asked Monkey to close the door and then said to Shuyu, "Now you can tell me the whole story."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Shuyu nodded and said, "The reason why Meihua hanged herself was because her family wanted to use her as a marriage exchange."
Lu Xiaoxiao frowned after hearing what Liu Shuyu said, and then she asked, "Didn't Meihua say that she was going to marry you soon? What's this marriage exchange thing about?"
"Originally, Meihua and I were going to get married, but because Meihua's second uncle's son fell in love with the daughter of Zhang the butcher in the next village, Meihua's family wanted to let Meihua marry in exchange." Liu Shuyu said with a grim expression.
"What you mean is that Sister Meihua's family wants Sister Meihua to marry into the family of Zhang the Butcher, and then Zhang the Butcher will marry his daughter to the son of Sister Meihua's second uncle." Lu Xiaoxiao asked after hearing what Liu Shuyu said.
"right."
Lu Xiaoxiao was silent for a while after hearing Liu Shuyu's words, and then she asked, "Does Zhang the butcher want a lot of gifts?"
"He didn't ask for a dowry."
"If they didn't ask for a dowry, why would Sister Meihua's family want to use her as a marriage exchange?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after hearing what Liu Shuyu said.
"Because Zhang the butcher has a stupid son. He has spread the word that if anyone wants to marry his daughter, he doesn't want any dowry. As long as the family who wants to marry his daughter can marry their daughter to his son, that's all."
Lu Xiaoxiao was silent after hearing Zhang Shuyu's words. After a long while, she said, "Doesn't Sister Meihua's second uncle have a daughter?"
"have."
"Since he already has a daughter, why does Sister Meihua want to marry her?"
"Because Uncle Meihua's daughter is engaged."
"Then Sister Meihua is also engaged to you, isn't she? Why can't his daughter change her marriage when she's engaged, but Sister Meihua has to change his marriage for his son?"
"Because Uncle Meihua's daughter is engaged to the third son of the captain of Sangou Village, and Meihua is engaged to me." Liu Shuyu said with a decadent look on his face.
