Looking at Su Tangxue, with her pretty eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, the matchmaker couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
She was a famous matchmaker in the surrounding area. If a girl of a darker color came, she would be confident that she could win her over with her eloquent tongue. However, the other party did not look like a village girl at first glance.
Now even she herself was not sure of this ability.
Chen Lili, who was standing aside, saw that Su Tangxue was indeed prettier than herself and her whole body was snow-white, and gradually she became a little less confident in herself.
She was considered a relatively pretty girl in Xiahe Village, but now she seemed not to be as pretty as Su Tangxue.
But she just fell in love with Lu Chuan. Although his family was a little poor, he was honest and good-looking. Before Su Tangxue came out, she thought that marrying into the Lu family was too high a goal for her. However, she didn't expect that the Lu family had called in someone else.
Now she wasn't sure.
Chen Lili anxiously pulled her father Chen beside her.
Father Chen gave her a displeased look, then turned to Father Lu and said, "This betrothal gift is one pound, not a cent less."
"Our family can't afford that much money. You can leave now."
Lu Chuan stood up and answered with a stern look.
"Hey, if that's the case, then we're leaving. I hope you find a new employer soon!"
When Chen Lili heard this, she lowered her head slightly and bit her lower lip unwillingly.
Her original intention was to ask her father to reduce the betrothal gift, but she didn't expect her father's attitude to remain so firm. Now Lu Chuan has also expressed his attitude.
So what should she do now?
"Don't listen to his nonsense, we can still talk."
Uncle Lu came out to smooth things over and glared at Lu Chuan beside him with disapproval.
Lu Yuxiong was in a real dilemma. In the past two years, his eldest son had spent a lot of money on getting married and having children, and the family really couldn't afford so much money now. However, his second son was old and couldn't delay any longer.
The second boy in the Chang family has a cold personality. Finally, a matchmaker came to propose marriage, and the other party's girl looked good. Lu Yuxiong was indeed satisfied.
But my family really can't come up with that much money right now.
Su Tangxue stood quietly beside Lu Chuan. The blind date was entirely discussed by her uncle and the other party, and her second brother never came out to say a good word.
Even showed resistance.
She finally understood that her brother didn't like this marriage very much.
"Second brother, the girl is so nice. Why don't you like her?"
Lu Chuan shook his head. He already had someone in his heart and didn't want to marry anyone else.
"Second brother, do you have someone you like?"
Su Tangxue leaned close to his ear and asked quietly.
Lu Chuan was silent and didn't say anything, but the slightly red tips of his ears betrayed him.
"It has to be one ten-thousandth. If it's less than one ten-thousandth, my family won't marry her. If she's willing, we can continue the conversation. If not, I'll leave immediately."
Chen's father issued a final ultimatum. His daughter was very popular in Xiahe Village, and some people were even willing to offer her two hundred yuan. However, his daughter had fallen in love with the poor boy from the Lu family. He had already lowered his standards, and if the Lu family still couldn't afford it, there was no need to talk further.
"The Lu family's daughter is a hot commodity in Xiahe Village. Someone even offered her three hundred yuan, but she refused to marry. She just fell in love with your boy. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
The matchmaker echoed.
If this happened, her ten-dollar matchmaking fee would be secure.
When Lu Yuxiong heard this, he gritted his teeth and wanted to agree.
Just borrow some from relatives and pay it back slowly by tightening your belt.
The second son's wedding can no longer be delayed.
