Chapter 140 Everyone Has Their Own Ideas
When Deng Changyuan returned home, the family was sitting at the door chatting with a kerosene lamp.
Because they were reluctant to burn oil, the kerosene lamp was dimmed very low, and the rising flame was only the size of a soybean, with only a little light coming out.
Seeing his second son coming back, Deng Yuncai asked, "A Yuan, is your ninth son back?"
Deng Changyuan hummed and said, "I'm back!"
Chang Yuan's mother asked, "Where is the girl from? Did she agree to get to know you?"
Deng Changyuan knew that Jiugong had not mentioned the matter of the girl's family to his parents yet. He was probably afraid that the girl's parents would not agree, so it would be useless to say anything. However, now that the date for visiting the family has been set, there is naturally no need to hide it anymore.
"Jiu Gong came to my house in person to propose marriage, so how could the girl disagree? But there's no need to talk about acquaintance, because I've known the girl since last year and have met twice!"
When these words came out, his parents and his elder brother and his wife all showed surprised expressions.
Deng Changyuan didn't wait for them to ask, and said directly: "The girl is also from Poxin Village. She grew up with Aunt Ping. Last year, when Aunt Ping came to Jiugong's house to look after the house, she came with her. That was when I met her.
Later, when A-Tai married Aunt Ping, she was there to escort the bride and groom, so I had actually met her twice before.”
Chang Yuan's mother suddenly realized, "So that's what happened. You fell in love with her, so you asked Jiu Gong to be your matchmaker?"
Deng Changyuan chuckled and said, "I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. Aunt Ping also hoped that her little sister could marry into our village to keep her company, so she actively helped me to make the connection. I asked her for her opinion before asking Jiugong to help with the matchmaking."
The eldest brother Deng Changxing was surprised and said: "A Yuan, you are really good!"
Deng Yuncai finally figured out the whole story and said, "No wonder Uncle Jiu didn't tell me the truth before. It turns out that the girl is a little sister who grew up with A Pingmei."
Deng Changyuan said: "Jiu Gong said that he has already arranged it for me. The girl will come to our house on the tenth day of the first lunar month to look after the family."
Chang Yuan's mother couldn't help but ask, "We haven't even discussed the price of this dress yet, and you're already looking at the family first?"
Deng Changyuan said: "Jiu Gong said that the girl's parents have no special requirements, so we can just give her the most common amount, a total of three hundred yuan and three hundred kilograms of grain."
Hearing this number, the whole family nodded secretly. If there were no other requirements, this was indeed the most common amount of money.
Chang Yuan's mother said with some embarrassment: "This request is normal, but our family has just built three houses and has spent all our savings. Let alone the net worth, even if the girl comes to visit our house, we don't have money to give her."
Deng Yuncai couldn't help but look at his eldest son and daughter-in-law and deliberately coughed twice, which could be regarded as a reminder.
In order to build this house, the couple really invested all their money, and most of the money came from the wages earned by their second son at the tile factory. It can be said that the second son made a great contribution to this new house.
Of course, his eldest son and daughter-in-law also contributed. They have been helping from laying the foundation to laying tiles, so they have done their part.
Now the couple is broke. All the wages their second son earned from working at the tile factory have been handed over to them, but they still have no money.
But Deng Yuncai knew that his eldest son and daughter-in-law should still have some money.
Although the money may not be much, it should be several dozen dollars. If the eldest daughter-in-law is willing to spend it, she can use it to deal with the woman's visit to the house.
Deng Changxing received the hint from his father and was about to say something when his foot was suddenly kicked by his wife, so he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Deng Yuncai naturally saw the little actions between his eldest son and daughter-in-law. Seeing that they didn't say anything, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
After all, parents hope that the whole family can work together. At this critical moment, the eldest son and daughter-in-law are unwilling to give out money, which Deng Yuncai thinks is naturally a selfish behavior.
Deng Changyuan naturally didn't know what his father and elder brother and sister-in-law were thinking. He didn't expect his family to help him in this regard. When he heard his mother say that she had no money, he said, "Mom, don't worry about it. Jiugong said he would discuss with Uncle Yungui tomorrow and give me a one-year advance on my salary so that I can marry my wife smoothly."
"hiss……"
Hearing this, my parents and my eldest brother and his wife all gasped.
After a while, Deng Yuncai said with emotion: "A Yuan, Jiugong is really good to you."
Deng Changxing also showed an envious expression.
Because his younger brother is the same age as Uncle Yuntai from Jiugong's family, they have played together since childhood and studied together, and they are closer than their biological brother. Especially last year, Jiugong let his younger brother work in the tile factory, and he started as a mud treader with a salary of 60 yuan a month. He really took good care of his younger brother.
Now, he has even given his younger brother a one-year advance on his salary for his marriage. He is so kind to his younger brother.
While the sister-in-law was surprised, she was secretly relieved. She actually heard her father-in-law coughing just now. He wanted her to use the money she had saved with great difficulty to deal with the girl's visit to the house on the tenth day. She definitely didn't want to do this, so she kicked her husband to stop him from talking nonsense.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It’s a good thing now that Yuan can solve the problem on his own without her having to spend any money.
Deng Changyuan nodded and said, "Jiu Gong really has nothing to say about me."
Chang Yuan's mother said happily: "Jiu Gong gave you a year's salary in advance, so we don't have to worry about how to get you money to marry a wife."
Deng Changyuan reminded them appropriately: "Dad, Mom, Jiu Gong said that when he went to the girl's house to propose matchmaking today, he made a promise to the girl's parents to ensure that the girl would not be wronged if she married into our family, otherwise Jiu Gong would not forgive me.
So, if I marry this daughter-in-law, you have to be more tolerant of her. If she does anything wrong, you can tell me and I will make her correct it, but you should not scold her in person, understand?"
Chang Yuan's mother was a little unhappy when she heard this. As a mother-in-law, did she have to look at her daughter-in-law's face? But she did not refute her son's words. No matter what, she would marry this daughter-in-law first. If she was sensible and respected her as a mother-in-law, then everyone would be at peace. But if she was not sensible, she, as a mother-in-law, would not always give in to her.
Deng Yuncai didn't have any thoughts after hearing this. Generally speaking, the relationship between a father-in-law and a daughter-in-law is not as strained as the relationship between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law.
I don’t know what my elder brother and his wife are thinking.
In short, everyone in the family has their own ideas.
When Deng Changyuan marries his wife, no one knows whether everyone will be able to live in harmony.
Wow, I wasted half a day thinking about the title and introduction of the book. Now the title has been decided, it is called "Rebirth of Children and Grandchildren". It is currently being revised. I feel that this name is also ordinary. I don't know if it can attract new readers. I am really worried. Thank you for the rewards from old readers and thank you for your monthly votes.
