Chapter 103: An Wen’s Feelings
Grandma Meng's daughter-in-law has been married for so many years, how could she know her natal family very well?
In addition, the Li family kept this matter a secret, so even their own relatives didn't know about their plans.
On the way home from the blind date yesterday, when her mother asked her, she nodded.
The main thing is that she can see that Mu Tou has a good impression of her.
Even if she intentionally made herself look darker and uglier.
After her family stopped letting her go to school, she learned how to protect herself.
It’s not that her parents are cruel, but the family conditions are like that. If she hadn’t changed her image intentionally or unintentionally, she would have been married off early.
How could I have made it till now?
Because she was ugly and no one was suitable for her, and because she was hardworking, her family did not plan to marry her off early.
So it has been delayed until now. If the third son didn’t want to get married, I’m afraid the Li family would not be in a hurry.
Weird.
The Li family also said that if they couldn't buy all the items in three rounds and two rings, they would just have to pay 800 yuan.
An Wen also received the letter, but was shocked by the 800 yuan because his family did not have it.
I don't know why, but I missed a point.
After hearing what Aunt Xilian said, Grandma He frowned and said, "You'd better ask Yan Zi what's going on first. If An Wen doesn't like it, then you can just say goodbye and withdraw."
Eight hundred yuan, Grandma He didn’t think there was anything she couldn’t give. It’s not easy to raise a daughter. (If it was Xiaoxue, she wouldn’t even marry him for eight hundred yuan.)
It is natural to give some betrothal gift, but it is too high considering the current prices.
"But her family wants 800 yuan. This is so much money, our family cannot afford it." She was in a dilemma, and she could see the expression on her son's face.
I know my son might have some thoughts, but this...
"Let me ask first. Business cannot be done with just a single price. I'm afraid there's something involved." Grandma He interrupted Xilian.
"That's right, go and beat Sister Yan Zi first and ask about the situation." Aunt Meilian could see that she might be satisfied with her daughter-in-law, but the conditions put their family in a difficult position.
But eight hundred yuan is really a lot. Two hundred yuan would be enough to buy a few new clothes.
Grandma He didn't give any rash advice. She asked her to find someone to find out what was going on with the Li family.
After everyone left, Mei Xue looked at her grandmother and said, "Is eight hundred yuan a lot?" Their family has more than fifteen hundred yuan, right?
That doesn't even include the money she had previously.
Grandma He's heart choked, "Silly girl, don't tell anyone this, as if our family is so rich." Grandma He looked outside the yard with a frightened look on her face, as if she was afraid that someone was eavesdropping.
"I won't tell anyone. It's true that our family is not that rich." Mei Xue secretly made up her mind to earn more money for her grandmother.
It seems that what she has at home is not enough. She needs to open up some land and grow some vegetables.
Winter is coming soon, and the vegetables should be harvested by the end of the month. She will then plant radishes and Chinese cabbage, which can be sold after the Chinese New Year.
Also, radish can be used to make many dishes, and stir-frying or stewing it is no problem.
Don’t have too many dishes.
After listening to Xiaoxue's words, Grandma He was silent and finally shook her head, "I'm afraid the Li family is not a peaceful one." Asking for five hundred yuan right away, this is not marrying off a daughter, this is selling a daughter.
It is said that one should do three turns and two rings, but who in the countryside has really done it?
It's just a gesture. Before it was food, and now it's money.
No one has bid so high.
Besides, the conditions in Lijia Village are not as good as those in Hejia Village. It is on the top of the mountain and the road is not very accessible. People can only walk to the market. Even horse carriages cannot go up.
Not to mention tractors.
"Xiaoxue, go call Anwen over. I want to ask him something." After all, they were closer, but Grandma He was still worried.
"Um."
Mei Xue got up and went next door to call An Wen.
He happened to be at home, but after seeing him, Mei Xue thought, he was a child, he was so devastated, and she didn't know how to live his future life.
Life is never perfect and smooth sailing.
"Grandma is looking for you." Seeing him like this, Mei Xue wanted to hit him, but was afraid of hurting him, so she thought, forget it, just leave it to grandma.
If it were someone else, well, she wouldn't even look at him.
"sister in law."
"Follow me." Mei Xue didn't want to waste time talking to him.
When they arrived at the He family's yard, An Wen was as well-behaved as a child. But when he saw Third Grandma's stern face, his little heart started beating wildly.
"Third Grandma." But under pressure, she still came over.
When she saw the person coming, Grandma He didn't waste any words and asked, "Do you like that girl?" Eight hundred yuan is a lot of money, and it is difficult for their family to afford it.
The direct question startled An Wen, "San, San Grandma." He took two steps back a little scared.
"Let me ask you, are you interested in that girl?" Grandma He kept her hands moving, looked up at He Anwen again and asked.
He felt more pressure from his Third Grandma than from his parents. He swallowed hard and finally nodded: "See, I like it."
"If you like it, do you know what this eight hundred dollars means?"
An Wen shook his head, "I don't know."
He really didn't know, why did he want 800 yuan? This is too much.
"Did the girl talk to you alone or give you anything?" Grandma He was a smart person and she could basically guess what An Wen had changed.
If the girl didn't show any reaction, this silly boy wouldn't have asked his mother to ask.
Given his personality, if he didn't take it seriously, he would have asked his mother to cancel the deal as soon as he heard the price was eight hundred yuan.
But he hasn't said anything yet, so I guess he must know something.
Upon hearing this, An Wen raised his head and looked at Third Grandma: "Third Grandma, how did you know?" If he was not sure that Third Grandma did not go with them yesterday, he would have thought that Third Grandma saw it with her own eyes.
"Oh, with your performance, what else is there to not understand? Tell me what's going on. If it doesn't work out, don't let your mother eat the first place. Aren't you afraid of making your mother angry?"
He Anwen reacted at this time. Yes, if it really didn't work out, if his mother went to ask about it, he was afraid that the other party would say some unpleasant words to make his mother upset.
"Third Grandma, you have to help me." He Anwen was at a loss at this time, "She just told me that she liked me and wanted to marry me, and asked me to wait for her."
Hearing An Wen's words, Mei Xue perked up and looked at him with bright eyes. "Is that girl pretty?" she suddenly asked.
An Wen shook his head and said, "Not as pretty as my sister-in-law." He had a silly smile on his face.
Seeing him like this, Grandma He poured water on his face in anger, "You dare to make fun of your sister-in-law, you're asking for a beating."
"That's true. She's not as pretty as my sister-in-law, nor as capable as her, but there are only a few people like her in the world." An Wen said disapprovingly.
