Ma Cuilian said nothing and fell into deep thought.
In the end, she chose to agree.
But the prerequisite is that she has to meet the person first.
After leaving the Zhao family, Lin Hongxia spat at the door of the Zhao family, "Bah, what a thing, it's good enough that someone wants it, how old is she and still so picky, if it wasn't for Er Gouzi's two dollars, she wouldn't bother to get involved in this matter."
However, I don’t know what the man likes about Ma Cuilian. He even gave her a betrothal gift of ten yuan. It’s enough to make people jealous just thinking about it.
She is indeed a slutty fox. No matter how old she is, she still attracts men one after another.
After Lin Hongxia left, Ma Cuilian thought about this matter. She was uneasy at first, but the more she thought about it, the happier she felt. She even began to look forward to it.
After she recovered, she went out to find Zhao Xiaoyue.
She had just walked out of the door and had not gone far when she heard someone calling her, "Zhao family, bad news, your daughter jumped into the river!"
Ma Cuilian's body suddenly stiffened. After she came to her senses, she did not feel distressed, but secretly cursed Zhao Xiaoyue for being troublesome.
Nowadays, her status in the village has long been difficult to improve. Not only can this bitch not help her at all, but she is also holding her back at this time.
If this dead girl really died at this time, her marriage would probably not be a matter of whether she agreed or not, but whether the other party was willing or not.
"Where is it?" Ma Cuilian asked hurriedly. After thinking for a while, she touched her eyes and burst into tears. "This silly girl, why is she so depressed? Although there is no food at home, even if we need to save food, it is me, an old man, who should die. It is not the turn of this silly girl..."
"It's on the bank of the Daye River. It has been fished out, but I don't know if it can be saved."
Ma Cuilian pretended to collapse, and ran and crawled towards that direction, looking so pitiful.
When she finally arrived at Daye River, the person was no longer there. Instead, he was being rushed to the town hospital by the villagers.
There were also people talking nearby, "I heard that since Ma Cuilian came back, this girl hasn't had a good life. Not only is she locked up at home all day and not allowed to go out, she's also been beaten. How can Ma Cuilian, as a mother, be so cruel!"
"That's right. When she was first pulled out of the water, you could see the injuries on her body. My goodness, there wasn't even a single piece of healthy skin left."
Ma Cuilian's face turned purple. After hearing these words, she felt she didn't know whether to cry or not.
The people who were talking around saw her coming and immediately turned their heads away, obviously not liking her and not wanting to pay attention to her.
Ma Cuilian was just wondering how to react when Ergou's mother came over and said, "Ma Cuilian, why are you still standing here? Your daughter has gone to the hospital and it will cost a lot of money. Why don't you go and give her the money? If you go too late, be careful that the doctor won't treat her."
The reason why Ergou's mother was so anxious was that it was her son who saved the man and it was also her son who suggested sending the man to the hospital for treatment.
Although a few people from the village also went there, they were all young men.
No one had a penny in their pockets. What she was most worried about now was that her son would have to pay for the medical expenses when they got to the town. Given Ma Cuilian's current situation, she couldn't even get enough food, let alone money. Wouldn't their family suffer a huge loss?
Although Ergouzi ran away from home last year and would rather live with Cui Dashan than go home, in his mother's eyes, her son is her love no matter how bad he is, and no one else can compare to him.
However, there is still a gap between biological sons. Compared with others, Ergouzi is a biological son, but when facing his eldest brother, he seems like a picked up child.
Upon hearing this, Ma Cuilian immediately started to act pitiful again, "Ergou's mom, you know my situation. More than half of the day has passed, and I haven't had a single bite of food, and I don't even have a penny in my pocket."
"If you can't afford it, that's your problem. You have to find a way yourself. You can't ask our family to pay for it just because you can't afford it, right?" If you don't know, the way she said this really sounds like she is asking her to pay.
Ma Cuilian wiped her eyes in grievance, "Ergou's mother, I don't have any money anyway. If you really force me, I can only give the girl to your family to pay for the medical expenses. It just so happens that Ergou hasn't married yet. The girl was pulled out of the river dripping wet by your son, so there is no innocence. Your Ergou must be responsible."
Anyway, she's just a little girl, and she's half dead all day long. If she's going to get married, it won't look good to bring a little girl with her. It's better to just deal with her directly.
Ma Cuilian had a good idea, but Ergou's mother still looked down on him. "I think you are dreaming, right? You don't even look at how your daughter has been raised by you. She is as thin as a piece of paper. Although my Ergou is a little older, he is still a strong young man. How can he be interested in your ghost-like daughter?"
As soon as Ergou's mother finished speaking, she was stopped by her eldest daughter-in-law. After whispering a few words in front of her, she suddenly changed her mind.
What the eldest daughter-in-law said is true. Ergou is not young anymore. It would be embarrassing if we don’t find him a wife.
Although the girl from the Zhao family was not good-looking and was a little thin, she was raised by Ma Cuilian to be as timid as a mouse. A single word from Ma Cuilian could scare her half to death.
Ergouzi is very opinionated now. If he says he won't come back, then he won't come back. It would be better to find him a wife who is easy to handle, so that the spoiled man will not become alienated from his family.
Thinking about it, Ergou's mother suddenly changed her tone and said, "However, seeing how poor your family is, even if I force you to death, I don't think you can come up with the money, so just reluctantly use that girl to pay off the debt. You said this yourself, so it must count. When Ergou comes back, let them get married. There's no need to hold a wedding. Just let your daughter pack up and come to our house."
In this way, not only the betrothal money but also the wedding money can be saved. She is really smart.
Ma Cuilian: "That won't do. It's not easy for me to raise a daughter like this. The betrothal gift doesn't need to be much. You should at least give something, right? Everyone in the village knows that your eldest daughter-in-law gave 10 yuan when she got married. You can't be partial. Even if you don't pay 10 yuan, you should at least give half, right?"
"What? You still want a betrothal gift?" Ergou's mother was furious. "Don't you see what kind of people your family is? You still dare to ask me for a betrothal gift. If I give a betrothal gift, my son will still not be able to find a wife. How can he be interested in your daughter who looks like she could die at any time?"
Ma Cuilian felt a little guilty after being yelled at by her. "Two dollars, no less, or I will find another family for her. Even the worst family will not give only two dollars as a betrothal gift."
Ma Cuilian was secretly angry in her heart. It was all this damn girl’s fault. Why did she jump into the river for no reason?
If it weren't for what happened today, even if I just found her an older guy, it would cost dozens of dollars.
