Looking at the pile of junk in front of him, Zhou Jinfeng shook his head and said, "Comrade Liu, you know our family is really not well-off. We can't afford these things."
You should check where you bought it and return it.
If all else fails, you can look for another wife. With your 'good' qualities, I'm sure someone will be willing to marry you.
I just want to get rid of these people now, so they don't gather here and become a laughing stock for the neighbors.
Liu Qingshan said, "You guys were in such a rush back then that I had to pay more to someone else. How could they possibly take it back at the original price? Anyway, you're the ones who backed out on the marriage. Why don't you leave these things behind, compensate me, and we can call off the marriage?"
Tian Guihua said, "This week, the family has met its match. Now it depends on which side is better at bargaining."
However, I don't think Zhou Jinfeng is a match for him. This matter is far from over. How about we go eat first and then come over?"
The moment Hua Xiangyun saw Hua Zhian, she already wanted to go back first, pointing to the distance and saying, "Then call my second brother away too."
Tian Guihua then noticed her second son, who was also watching the commotion in the crowd. She bypassed the crowd, grabbed his ear, and pulled him back home.
Hua Zhian said, "Grandma, let go, let go, it hurts!" Besides, we're in public, at least give her some face.
Tian Guihua finally let go of his hand. "Didn't you see that your sister and I were walking in the corner? Why are you pushing forward?"
Hua Zhian said, "I just got off work and saw a commotion behind me. I thought something had happened, so I went over to check it out. They're all neighbors, so they can lend a hand if they need anything."
To prevent the old lady from touching him again, he obediently followed behind.
"What else could it be? The Zhou family is getting Zhou Xiaolan engaged." As soon as she entered the house, Tian Guihua told him the story, then stared at him with her eyes fixed on him.
"Is the engagement already happening so soon?" Hua Zhian felt a little uneasy, but then, thinking of the freedom he was about to gain, he immediately said happily, "Then does that mean Grandpa won't have to pick me up and drop me off anymore?"
If Hua Guangzong went fishing on the way, many of his colleagues figured that he was worried about his grandson and was personally picking him up and dropping him off at get off work every day for so long.
These people didn't say it to Hua Zhian's face, but they whispered among themselves a lot behind his back.
“This marriage is probably going to fall through,” Tian Guihua said as she walked into the main room, sat down and took a sip of water. “You didn’t manage to get in just now. The three turns and one ring that they sent were all old things. I don’t know where they got them from.”
Hua Zhian, "...Then isn't this a marriage fraud?"
Tian Guihua said, "That's between them. But let me make this clear to you: when you're looking for a partner, our family won't have the means. If you agree to it in private, you'll have to handle it yourself."
"Grandma, you're overthinking it. You can't make all the decisions for me." Hua Zhian immediately showed his survival instincts and went behind the old lady to massage her back.
"Your beautiful aunt told me about another family today. Why don't we go and meet them when you have a couple of days off?" Tian Tian Guihua squinted her eyes. She had been standing there watching the commotion for quite a while and was a little tired.
Hua Xiangyun drank a few sips of water and then went to the kitchen to get busy. First, she steamed the rice so she could cook the dishes when her sister-in-law and the others came back.
At the same time, she also pricked up her ears to listen to the sounds outside. She had heard Chen Meili come over earlier.
The other party seems to have good conditions in all aspects. It is said that the reason they chose the second brother is because they value the harmony of their family.
"How about we wait a while longer," Hua Zhian said hesitantly, "and talk about these things after my sister gets married."
They're all crammed together, because I'm worried the elderly in the family will be too busy.
Tian Guihua said, "How much does this matter? Although we are old, we are not so useless. Once we have settled you all in, your grandfather and I will have completed our mission."
Could we really expect anything from Baoguo and his wife? They've been in Xunjia Village for several days now; are they planning to come back before they get to work?
Little did they know that Hua Baoguo and Xun Liangfen were walking on the mountain path when they felt a chill run down their spines.
"It's almost the summer solstice, why is it still so cold?" Hua Baoguo carried the dried vegetables given to him by his father-in-law and others in one hand, and used a stick to knock around in the other.
"The temperature on this mountain is much cooler than outside," Xun Liangfen followed closely behind, but always felt a chill on her back, and the hairs on her back stood up.
"Let's walk a little faster. Once we get past this grove, the sun will be out." Hua Guangzong wanted to hurry but didn't dare to let his guard down, so he tapped the stick even more frequently.
You should know that in the short distance they've walked, they've already encountered snakes twice, but the stick scared them away both times.
"I should have come back yesterday," Xun Liangfen complained.
“What’s the point of saying all this now? You’ll just agree as soon as your mother asks,” Hua Baoguo said, barely containing his anger.
He never expected that his mother-in-law would still be so persistent. Even though she had said that they couldn't make decisions about Zhi'an's marriage, she still brought the girl home.
Thinking about the embarrassing situation yesterday, Hua Baoguo almost turned around and left on the spot.
Fortunately, my father-in-law was reasonable and politely saw the person off, even offering some apologies, which resolved the matter.
“My mother doesn’t mean any harm. Besides, Zhi’an is all grown up now. He’ll have to get engaged sooner or later. It’s always good to have more options and be more selective…”
“This is a matter for the Hua family,” Hua Baoguo interrupted her. “Does your maternal family really decide the marriages of your nephews?”
Xun Liangfen, "..."
“Heh,” Hua Baoguo picked out another small snake from the grass and tossed it aside, “They really are hypocritical.”
Xun Liangfen felt a chill run down her spine. "Baoguo, why don't I lead the way? I feel really cold in the back."
Hua Baoguo readily gave her his seat, saying, "Then you'd better be careful."
He naturally welcomed anyone willing to do more work, and his hands were getting a little numb from typing all the way, so he took a break.
Maybe if she exercises a bit, she won't always be complaining of being cold.
Hua Baoguo hadn't stood there for long when he felt a chill down his back, while his chest felt hot.
He recognized the item there; it was a lucky charm his daughter had given him to keep close to his body during their trip out for the New Year. This item couldn't be shown to others, but since it was a gift from his daughter, he always kept it close to his body in his inner pocket.
Thinking about his daughter's abilities, Hua Baoguo felt a little flustered, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Let's stop and warm up properly when we find a sunny spot ahead; it's still quite chilly."
Xun Liangfen felt warmer after exercising and quickened her pace. "Okay, my sister-in-law brought us some steamed buns. Let's eat them before we go."
Hua Baoguo said, "...Sister-in-law's cooking is so good, let's not eat it. Let's go back and give it to the kids to enjoy."
