419: I am willing to go with you
Cuihua's mother was originally very excited about the 80 yuan betrothal gift and the many gifts, but when she heard Yu Xiaoye say that he wanted to take Cuihua away, she suddenly returned to reality.
She put away her smile and asked:
"Are you taking it away this time?"
"yes."
Cuihua's mother had never thought of this. She didn't expect that Erye would still have to go back to the Northeast. If he went, wouldn't he have to take Cuihua with him?
This time, Cuihua's mother was a little overwhelmed.
She never thought that one day Cuihua would marry far away.
Seeing Cuihua's mother's expression suddenly change, Tieniu's mother was afraid that Cuihua would regret it, so she hurriedly said:
"Well, just go ahead. What's so good about this poor place of ours? If you ask me, you'd better go out and have a good life.
Cuihua followed the Second Field Army to the Northeast, and she is just waiting to enjoy herself. Who knows, in the future, Cuihua's brothers and sisters may also be brought to the Northeast to develop.
And you two old people, who knows when you might go to Northeast China with your children to enjoy life, right?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"What Tieniu's mom said is true. The Northeast is much better than our poor place!"
"Yes, the three northeastern provinces are very developed."
Everyone started talking at once to support Yu Xiaoye and the others.
Cuihua's mother seemed a little conflicted and couldn't make a decision.
Yu Xiaoye knew that Cuihua's mother just couldn't accept the sudden change, and she would eventually agree for the sake of the betrothal gift. Yu Xiaoye didn't want to push her too hard.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Xiaoye stood up and said:
"Aunt, think about it carefully before making a decision. I'll ask Cuihua for her opinion. After all, this is Cuihua's lifelong event."
Someone immediately praised:
"Xiao Ye is really thoughtful. Go ask Cuihua and see if she wants to go."
Yu Xiaoye walked towards the inner room.
There was no light in the inner room, and it was pitch black inside. The only light coming in was from the outer room.
After Yu Xiaoye entered, his eyes took a while to adjust to the darkness in the room before he saw a figure standing in the corner. This should be Cuihua.
In the dim light, Cuihua's face could not be seen clearly, but one could vaguely see tears on her face.
Yu Xiaoye walked up to Cuihua and whispered:
"Cuihua."
Cuihua moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out of her throat.
Yu Xiaoye grabbed Cuihua's hand, moved closer to her, and asked in a low voice:
"Did you hear what we just said outside?"
Cuihua nodded.
Yu Xiaoye asked:
"Do you want to go to the Northeast with us?"
Cuihua lowered her head and did not answer immediately.
Yu Xiaoye knew that no one could make a decision all at once when faced with a sudden choice, and this was true for Cuihua's mother and even more so for Cuihua.
Yu Xiaoye said patiently:
"Cuihua, my second brother is not very good at speaking, and he keeps many things to himself. In fact, he has always liked you very much and has always wanted to marry you. He thought about you every day when he was in Northeast China.
I came back this time for you. I know you have a good impression of him. Believe me, if you marry him, he will never treat you badly and will treat you well all his life.
Don't be afraid of marrying far away. When you get to the Northeast, my parents will treat you well. I can't say anything else, but they will definitely make sure you have enough food and clothing.
My second brother will never let you get angry. If he bullies you, I will be the first one to not forgive him."
Cuihua wiped her tears but still couldn't speak.
Yu Xiaoye continued:
"If you are willing to go with us, nod your head. If not, shake your head."
Cuihua finally nodded and whispered with tears in her eyes:
"I'm willing to go with you."
Yu Xiaoye smiled:
"Okay, I understand."
Yu Xiaoye let go of Cuihua's hand and walked out of the inner room.
Outside, after a group of people persuaded her, Cuihua's mother also came to her senses.
Whether it was because of the 80 yuan betrothal gift, or because Yu Erye was better than Zhang Quezi, or because of everyone's persuasion, or because of the childhood sweetheart relationship between Yu Erye and his daughter.
In the end, Cuihua's mother nodded in agreement and agreed to let her daughter go to the Northeast with them.
After Yu Xiaoye came out, Tie Niu's mother excitedly said to Yu Xiaoye:
"Cuihua's mother agreed. Does Cuihua agree?"
Yu Xiaoye nodded:
"Cuihua also agreed."
"good--"
The room was filled with celebratory sounds, with everyone laughing and clapping:
"That's right. Cuihua went to the Northeast and must have lived a good life with Erye!"
Yu Xiaoye said to Cuihua's mother:
"Aunt, I'll bring you the money and gifts tomorrow morning."
"OK."
That's how the matter was resolved.
It went even more smoothly than Yu Xiaoye had expected.
Of course, the reason why it went so smoothly is thanks to these enthusiastic audiences.
Without the help of enthusiastic audiences, the situation would probably have continued for a while.
As for the matter of breaking off the engagement with Zhang Guizi's family, we have already discussed it. If their family does not agree, we will deal with it together.
Anyway, we will return all the money and food to them, and we have the support of the team leader.
Zhang Quezi's family doesn't have the nerve to cause trouble, so there's no need to be afraid of them.
After everyone finished speaking, they all felt relieved.
That night, the money was repaid and a marriage was arranged, and even Yu Xiaoye felt very comfortable.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone got up and left.
Yu Xiaoye also stood up and followed everyone out.
I turned my head and looked at my second brother. He was still standing against the wall and showed no intention of leaving.
Yu Xiaoye went over and pulled his second brother's arm:
"Second brother, let's go."
The second brother still didn't move.
Yu Xiaoye felt that something was wrong with his second brother and his body was trembling slightly.
I touched my second brother's legs, and damn, his legs were shaking!
Oh my God, can we be a little more promising?
I'm so excited about getting engaged that I can't walk!
Yu Xiaoye was afraid of being seen, so he held his second brother's arm tightly and said in a low voice:
"Don't be embarrassed, hurry up and walk, I'll support you."
Yu Erye reached out and held Yu Xiaoye's shoulders. The brother and sister leaned on each other and left behind the crowd.
When he was about to leave the main hall, Yu Erye turned his head to look into the inner room and happened to see Cuihua standing by the door.
When Yu Erye saw Cuihua, his legs went weak again and he almost knocked Yu Xiaoye to the ground.
Yu Xiaoye followed the team leader back home.
As soon as she got home, Yu Xiaoye prepared the betrothal gift, took out 80 yuan in cash, and prepared other gifts, including soap, towels, and sheets, all of which she had bought on the black market in advance.
The candy and snacks were given by Zhou Ziheng.
She looked at the pile of things and, to be honest, considering the level of dowry in this place, what she gave to Cuihua was really not low.
This place is poor. For an ordinary family in the village, spending 10 to 20 yuan on a dowry to marry a wife is considered average. Some calculating families may not even need a dowry, and can marry someone by giving some rice, flour, grain and oil.
The reason why Yu Xiaoye offered such a high price was because Cuihua's family wanted to break off the engagement with Zhang Quezi's family.
If the offer wasn't higher, Cuihua's mother probably wouldn't agree so readily.
The second reason is that they want to take Cuihua with them this time. Once they leave, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and they don’t know when they will be able to come back. Giving them a little more can be considered as some compensation.
