Anyway, Jia Bao and her sisters, including Chun Tao, all have to help their older sister get married, so they can take turns carrying her.
Chi Qing's patience had reached its limit. When he heard the old lady ask for six qian of silver right off the bat, his face darkened completely.
How could this old lady possibly ask for six coins?
A mu of land can only produce two or three hundred jin of grain per season. After drying and paying taxes, the rest can only be sold for less than six qian.
If there really is such a rule in Wangwan Village, how could that girl possibly get married?
Besides, Ya'er never said that.
If she really did have something, she would have told me sooner. Since she didn't say anything, it means she didn't!
Thinking this, he said, "Ya'er is my wife, I will carry her myself."
But how could Old Lady Wang let him have his way?
She was determined today, regardless of how her granddaughter would behave in her husband's family in the future, she just wanted to get money from the Chi family.
She could tell that the year was bad, and she had also heard that the situation in the surrounding area was even worse.
Next, they need to build a house back in Wangwanli, and they also need to eat, drink, and eat.
Having no money is absolutely unacceptable.
Their family consists of elderly people and young children. The only ways they can earn money, besides farming, are to go out and find work.
Given the current situation at home, the only one who can go and earn money is her son.
But her son is honest, but not good with words, so he can only earn a little money through manual labor.
Ten coins a day, even if you have work to do every day without spending any money, would only amount to three hundred coins.
So, their family will have to save up for a long time before they can afford to build a house.
Rather than going back to sleep on the streets, it's better to steel ourselves and get it from the Chi family.
A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; she is no longer there.
Chijia'ao is so far away, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will never come here again for the rest of her life.
At that time, she won't even see her granddaughter once in a while. What's there for her to feel sorry for?
It would be better for her to play the villain and get the benefits first!
Therefore, upon hearing Chi Qing's words, she said with great dissatisfaction:
“Aqing, even if today is your wedding day with Ya’er, you haven’t completed the wedding ceremony yet. How can you be in such close contact in front of everyone?”
According to the customs of our Wangwan village, when a newlywed bride goes out, only her brothers and sisters from her own family can help her.
No one else is allowed, otherwise it will be considered unlucky.
It's too much for Jiabao to carry from here to your house by himself; we have to take turns.
You'll have to give Jiabao six qian of silver and Tao'er three qian.
If you agree, then you don't need to go back to catch the train.
Oh, when Ya'er came out of the room to say goodbye to me and her parents, Jia Bao had to carry her out. That six qian of silver was unavoidable.
If you don't have that many with you, you can have someone go back and get them now.
This silver must be wrapped in red paper, otherwise it's bad for Ya'er."
The old woman's story became more and more coherent, and she even revealed that the six taels of silver were actually the money for the meat that separated them from their mother, and that they had gotten a good deal.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible without at least one or two taels of silver!
When the people from Chijia'ao who came to fetch the bride heard this, they all thought it was absurd.
But most of those who came were young people. In the village, wives are usually bought, so they didn't know what the rules were for a normal wedding procession.
They found it absurd and were dissatisfied, but they could only look to Chi Qing and wait for him to make a decision.
Shen Yejun, who came along to hold the umbrella, was utterly shocked by the shamelessness of the old lady from the Wang family, which completely shattered his worldview.
