Chapter 3: Matchmaking
Li Taohua was frightened and went into the inner room to pinch Tang Dafu.
When Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao came back, Tang Dafu was still coaxing Li Taohua inside. Tang Yixiao wanted to tell Tang Dafu about Tang Luwu's near death, but seeing that he was useless, he was too lazy to speak. He was just waiting for his eldest brother to come back. In this family, except for the sisters who depended on each other, no one else could be relied on.
Qin Huiyin handed a set of clean clothes to Tang Luwu.
Tang Luwu was confused: "Do you want to wash?"
Qin Huiyin faced Tang Yixiao's angry eyes and said innocently, "This is clean, why wash it? I saw that your clothes were washed away, so I asked you to wear mine first and change your wet clothes. Otherwise, you will catch a cold, not only will you suffer, but you will also have to spend money to hire a doctor. In our current situation, we really can't afford a penny."
"Sister, change quickly." Tang Yi urged with a smile. "Anyway, these clothes of hers were bought by daddy. She should be worn by you."
"Little brother, don't talk about Yinyin like that." Tang Luwu said, "If it weren't for Yinyin, I wouldn't be alive."
Tang Yi curled his lips with a smile and snorted: "Fortunately you are okay, otherwise I would not let them go."
Although Qin Huiyin wanted to ease the relationship, if this little thorn kept talking like this, she would not have to be polite. She could understand his feelings, but she didn't want to serve him anymore.
Seeing Tang Yishao like this, Tang Luwu was worried that Qin Huiyin would be angry, so she nervously pulled Qin Huiyin's sleeve: "Yinyin, can you help me? I don't have much strength."
"Okay, I'll take you inside to change clothes." Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu lived in the same room.
Qin Huiyin was one year younger than Tang Lvwu, but she was taller and had more flesh on her body, so her clothes looked very loose on Tang Lvwu. Even if she tightened them with a belt, she still felt awkward as if she was stealing someone else's clothes.
After changing clothes, Tang Luwu immediately went to the kitchen to make lunch.
She opened the rice jar, looked at the thin layer of corn flour left, and grabbed two handfuls into the bowl.
Tang Yi smiled and came in to help wash the wild vegetables.
Even if he was angry, what would it matter? His sister had survived a disaster, she didn't cry or make a fuss, she just did what she had to do. If he kept holding on to her, wouldn't that mean woman make things difficult for his sister?
The eldest brother said that they were still young and could not escape from this family, so they could only endure it. When they grew up and had grown up, they could leave this hellhole behind.
Qin Huiyin was not idle either. She picked out two sets of clothes, used needle and thread to make them one size smaller, and would give them to Tang Luwu later.
The original owner had a lot of clothes, not only were they beautiful in style, but they were also patched. Looking at the entire village, the original owner was definitely the most relaxed and pampered girl.
She is an internet celebrity blogger who not only makes food, but also clothes and cosmetics. In short, she is willing to try almost anything that her fans are interested in, which is why she has tens of millions of fans.
"Mother Huiyin..." Qian, one of the gossipers in the village, stood at the door holding a bunch of green onions.
Li Taohua came out, tidied her hair, and stood at the gate of the fence, whispering something to Qian.
"It's a bit too small..."
"The other party gave this number. If you had this number, wouldn't your life be easier?"
"The amount of silver owed alone is fifty taels. Even with this amount, it won't solve the big problem." Li Taohua complained.
"If it were your Huiyin, the number would definitely be more than this..." Qian probed.
Li Taohua's face changed, she looked at Qian coldly, put one hand on her waist and cursed: "He dared to have ideas about my daughter, does he think he is the king of the world?"
"Mother Huiyin, don't you see which girls in the village look like yours? People who don't know would think she's some rich girl. In my opinion, your family is in such a difficult situation. If you marry off your two daughters and get a high price for the bride price, wouldn't this difficulty be overcome? I heard from Mr. Jiang that if Huiyin is willing to marry him, he will give thirty taels. As for the girl Luwu, the Zheng family will give five taels. Mr. Jiang really likes your Huiyin. If you have this idea, I will talk to him and ask him to give more money. If he is happy, maybe fifty taels will not be a problem."
"Bah, a toad wants to eat swan flesh, dream on." Li Taohua cursed, "Listen to me, even if I sell myself, I will never sell my daughter."
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. The Zheng family wants Lu Wu, so this is fine, right?" Qian said, "You have so many mouths to feed. Marrying a daughter out will give you another relative, and you can help each other in the future."
Li Taohua looked towards the kitchen thoughtfully.
Those smooth and worldly eyes were full of excitement, and he was really thinking in his mind how much benefit he could get from this matter.
Qin Huiyin walked out and shouted to Li Taohua: "Mom..."
"Hey, here I come." Li Taohua responded and said to Qian, "I'll think about it."
"What's the consideration?" Qian was anxious. "Five taels of silver! How many girls in the village can afford such a gift?"
"Ten taels." Li Taohua said, "Five taels is too little. If it's ten taels, I'll tell the child's father right away."
"Mom..." Qin Huiyin shouted again.
Li Taohua waved to Qian and hurried back to her room.
Qian looked in the direction of Li Taohua and said, "What the hell is this? She's like a little goblin all day long, wishing to suck the essence of all the men in the village. These stinky men are the same. They know she's unlucky but still can't walk. It's really like what they say in the opera: die under the peony flowers, and be a romantic ghost. And her daughter, at such a young age, is just like her mother, she's a vixen. Who knows how many men will suffer in the future. I have to keep an eye on my Goudan and never let him get close to this little goblin."
Qian was so happy with her scolding that she thought about the betrothal gift that Li Taohua had mentioned. For an average family, five taels of silver was already a good gift, but she actually wanted ten taels.
Although Tang Luwu was not as pretty as Qin Huiyin, she was hardworking and willing to work! The Zheng family was attracted by her hard work and were willing to pay five taels of silver for her to be a child bride.
Ten taels of silver...
Actually, it's not impossible. She needs to talk to the Zheng family and maybe it will work out. If it works out, the matchmaking gift will definitely be generous.
Qin Huiyin watched Qian leave, then turned around and asked Li Taohua, "Mother, what did Aunt Zhang say to you?"
"Nothing." Li Taohua tied a knot on the thread and asked, "Doesn't this dress fit me well? Why do you want to modify it?"
"I modified it for Sister Luwu."
"You want to give her clothes to wear?" Li Taohua was unhappy. "These clothes are all yours. What are you going to give them to her for? If she has nothing to wear, she still has her father. I can just use her father's clothes to alter two sets of clothes."
