After Matchmaker Feng finished speaking, she held her breath and looked at Xu Guixiang and Su Weiguo.

She thought there was a high probability that they would not agree.

As a matchmaker for the surrounding villages, she knows better than anyone how much it costs to marry a wife.

Generally, the betrothal gift is only one or two yuan. If it is higher, either the girl is very good-looking, or the boy has difficulty finding a wife, and can only rely on increasing the gift to fight for his chance.

Su Haiyang was tall, handsome, and not stupid. In addition, he had a newly built house made of green bricks and tiles, so it was easy for him to marry a wife home with just one or two dollars.

When she first brought Liu Yelu over, the Liu family asked for a betrothal gift of 200 yuan. Seeing that their son nodded in agreement with the marriage, Xu Guixiang and Su Weiguo agreed without saying anything.

The two young people were going to get married in a few months, but the Liu family proposed that the Su family give out a third child. Matchmaker Feng felt that this was not going to work.

Liu Ye's appearance is just so-so. Apart from her height advantage, her face is not outstanding. The Liu family has already received two yuan in betrothal gifts, and now she is asking for such a big favor. If the Su family doesn't agree, she, as a matchmaker, will have no choice but to ask them to cancel the engagement.

She had been a matchmaker all her life, and had seen many engagements cancelled, but she had never been troubled by it.

There is an unwritten rule in rural areas that if the man proposes to cancel the engagement first, the woman does not have to return a single cent, including the betrothal gift.

If the woman brings it up first, she has to return the betrothal money in full.

Considering the current situation of the Liu family, they are almost going crazy in their rush to raise the five yuan betrothal gift for their eldest son. How can they afford to return the betrothal gift to the Su family?

If things get out of hand, it would be difficult for her as the matchmaker caught in the middle.

Sure enough, after hearing what matchmaker Feng said, Xu Guixiang and Lu Heping's faces immediately turned grim.

I've already paid two dollars for the betrothal gift, and now they're asking for three more. It sounds like they're selling their daughter.

If we pay these three as they requested, the total would be five. It seems that they are spending money to help the Liu family find a daughter-in-law.

They don't want to be such a sucker, not to mention that they don't have the three dollars. If it really is the case, they would rather find another wife for their son than hang themselves on the Liu family's tree.

It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but there are many women with two legs.

From this incident, it can be seen that the Liu family regarded their daughter as a tool for money. They also wanted to marry their daughter-in-law and were stingy, giving all their wealth to the Su family.

This calculation is too loud.

If you become a relative with this kind of person, you don't know what kind of trouble will happen in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Guixiang glanced at the man. After the two exchanged glances, Su Weiguo spoke.

"Sister Feng, you also know that we don't have such a high betrothal gift in the countryside. When Liu Ye's family asked for a betrothal gift, we agreed without even discussing it. Now they want another three. Not to mention that the Liu family can't afford so much money, we can't afford it either.

Forget about three. Even if you ask us to take one right now, we won’t be able to do it.

So we really can't agree to this. You should stop persuading Liu Ye's parents and let them think of other ways. We really can't do anything."

Su Weiguo was very careful with his words, and he would not be the first to say words like canceling the engagement, otherwise the two yuan of betrothal gift would be wasted. He had to keep these words to himself and let Liu Ye say them to her parents first.

Seeing that the man had finished speaking, Xu Guixiang also chimed in, "Ah, Sister Feng, you've seen it too. Our family built this house especially for Liu Ye to live in after she gets married. Almost all the money for building the house was paid by Wanwan. We are still waiting to save money to pay Wanwan back. We can't even pay back our daughter, so how can we pay back the Liu family?"

At this point, Xu Guixiang turned her gaze to Liu Ye, "Liu Ye, I'm really sorry, go back and tell your parents that they are not willing to pay for this, we really can't afford it."

After hearing this, Liu Ye's tears instantly rolled out of her eyes.

It was actually her own idea to bring the clothes to Su's house. She felt a little embarrassed, so she asked Matchmaker Feng to tell her parents about it.

In order to help her brother Liu Shu find a wife, her father secretly found a family for her.

The man was less than 1.5 meters tall and had some disabilities. People said that as long as his family was willing to marry their daughter to him, they would immediately give them five yuan.

Her father thought that the Su family would definitely not be willing to pay another three dollars, so he didn't care whether she was willing or not, and had already promised the family who was willing to pay five dollars.

They were just waiting for Feng the matchmaker to come and ask. If the Su family disagreed, they would immediately break off the engagement with the Su family and marry Liu Ye to the disabled man who was less than 1.5 meters tall.

When Liu Ye heard that Matchmaker Feng was coming to the Su family today, she secretly ran to Matchmaker Feng's house and asked her to take her with her to beg for mercy.

Su Haiyang was the man she fell in love with at first sight. Both his appearance and temperament were her ideal.

If she had to break off the engagement with Su Haiyang and marry that dwarf, she would rather die.

When Liu Ye heard Xu Guixiang and Su Weiguo say that they couldn't come up with that much money, she panicked. If they couldn't come up with three dollars, she would have to go back and marry the man who was less than 1.5 meters tall.

The purpose of her coming here was to beg her future parents-in-law. Yu Liuye suddenly stood up, and then knelt in front of Xu Guixiang and Su Weiguo with a "thump".

"Dad, Mom, let me take the liberty of calling you that. Actually, since the day you and Haiyang got married, I have already considered you my real parents. I don't know what you think, but I have already considered myself a member of our family."

"Child, what are you doing? Get up, get up. We can just sit down and talk slowly. This is not allowed."

Seeing Liu Ye suddenly kneel down, Xu Guixiang hurriedly got up to pull her up, but Liu Ye refused to get up no matter what she said.

"Mom, please don't pull me. Just let me kneel here and tell you that I came here today on my own, because if I don't come again, my dad will force me to marry a man who can afford five dollars.

Do you know what that man looks like? He is less than 1.5 meters tall and walks with a limp. Can you imagine what that man looks like?"

At this point, Liu Ye couldn't help sobbing, "... I would rather die than marry that kind of person... In order to fight for a chance for myself, I shamelessly found Aunt Feng and asked her to bring me here."

At this point, Liu Ye rolled up her sleeves to wipe her tears. Seeing this, Su Wan quickly handed her her handkerchief.

Liu Ye took it and thanked Su Wan while crying.

"Dad, Mom, you are so pitiful. Think of a way to take out the three dollars. As long as you take out the three dollars, you can save my life. From now on, this life will belong to the Su family. I will work hard all my life to repay you for saving my life."

When Liu Ye said this, her head suddenly started banging.

"Dad, Mom, I beg you, please save me. If I don't marry that man, he will kill me. I beg you..."

The willow leaf made a sound every time it hit the ground. Su Haiyang, who was standing nearby, was so frightened that he reached out to pull her back.
