Matchmaker Zhang looked left and right. She didn't know why Mr. Liu didn't agree.
"Brother Liu, Chen Jianbing is a rare good man in the area. Why do you think it's inappropriate?"
"I..." Old Master Liu was stuck. He only knew that if Xiaoling and Liu Jianbing really got married, it would be difficult for their family to stay in Wenjia Village.
Seeing this, Ding Guihua quietly twisted Liu Sanmu's waist with her hand, nodded her chin towards Old Man Liu, and whispered, "Brother Sanmu, what did you say to the old man yesterday?"
"I said that a good boy would come to propose marriage in the next two days, and I would ask Dad to agree directly then." Liu Sanmu spoke honestly. He was speaking according to what his wife said.
Ding Guihua rolled her eyes in anger. He was really unreliable. Apart from being able to work, he was completely incapable of talking and doing things.
"Aunt Zhang, please have some tea and let's discuss this." As she spoke, Ding Guihua smiled and led Matchmaker Zhang out of the door.
He also pulled the dazed Liu Sanmu next to him and said, "Brother Sanmu, please entertain Aunt Zhang well."
"Mom, our Xiaoling is so lucky to have a husband who is a soldier. When she goes out to fight, our family can be considered as military dependents." After Ding Guihua settled everything outside, she walked quickly to Old Lady Liu, and her tone sounded as if she had gotten a great deal.
"Dad, it's already happened. Whether we do it or not, others will have something to say, so why not do it?"
Ding Guihua persuaded everyone one by one and made all kinds of promises for everyone, almost saying that if Xiaoling married Chen Jianbing, Chen Jianbing would be able to support the whole family.
More than ten minutes passed.
With a creak, the door opened from the inside.
"Sister Zhang, our family has agreed." Old Lady Liu made a straightforward request, "However, the betrothal gift must be fifty yuan, ten kilograms of pork, and brown sugar..."
After hearing this, Matchmaker Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, your request is too high."
Last night, Chen's mother specifically told her that the maximum amount of the betrothal gift would be thirty yuan, and the rest should be based on normal circumstances.
"Just this request. Our family won't hold a wedding banquet and they don't need to welcome the bride. Xiaoling can go with you now." Old Lady Liu said impatiently.
The third family just mentioned the benefits one by one, and they just wanted to marry Liu Xiaoling to Chen Jianbing. In this case, she and the old man will help them and pretend that they don't have this granddaughter from now on.
Matchmaker Zhang was shocked. This was a formal marriage, and both parties were not so poor that they couldn't afford food. Such a simple method was really...
"Sister Zhang, I know you can't make the decision. Just convey our request. If they agree, we will send the gifts and pick them up. If they don't agree, forget it." Old Lady Liu curled her lips, understanding what was going on.
The other party's parents would definitely agree with what she said just now. Chen Jianbing came back to get married, and all the relatives and friends of the Chen family have been notified. It would be a big joke if there was no bride on the day.
"Sister-in-law, I like your straightforwardness. I'll go back and ask." Matchmaker Zhang had a smile on her face, but she was cursing in her heart, saying that money is really hard to make.
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked out quickly.
Watching Matchmaker Zhang go away, Ding Guihua hurried into the room and saw her daughter lowering her head and not speaking. She walked up to her and asked nervously, "Xiaoling, did you hear what your grandmother said just now?"
She always felt that there was something indescribable about her daughter.
Liu Xiaoling put away her anger, nodded, looked up with tears in her eyes, "Mom, I..."
"Xiaoling, it's all Mom's fault." Ding Guihua hugged her daughter tightly, feeling bitter and uncomfortable, "This is your fate."
