Jiang Yi decided to take action, and the first step was to go to the river to retrieve some items that could be traded with others. She would then try her luck in town the next day.
Speaking of which, she's always been lucky; she might just meet a benefactor and get what she wants.
Jiang Yi was going to retrieve something from the river, but she didn't intend to do it herself, after all, she had seven nephews.
Dabing and Erbing are the youngest, and they can still run to the river to fish with him. As for the other nephews, they are all strong and capable laborers.
Even if one cannot earn ten work points by working in the fields, the amount will not be less than eight work points.
It's not the busy farming season now, and my nephews have nothing to do, so they can be used as helpers.
Jiang Yi left home and began to gather her nephews.
Of course, we can't let our nephews work for nothing; we have to promise them a lucrative reward first.
Simply making empty promises won't work; they lack persuasiveness. However, yesterday's all-you-can-eat fish feast made up for the shortcomings of such empty promises.
However, plans can never keep up with changes.
While Jiang Yi was painting a picture of a cake for her nephews, the village suddenly became lively.
The He family and the Liu family stood together!
The reason for this was, of course, that the He family felt the Liu family's intention to marry their son, He Zhaojin, was not sincere. What did "not sincere" mean? Simply put, it meant they hadn't given enough money.
Of course, the Liu family was also quite despicable in this matter.
After learning that He Zhaojin had been hugged by his own son, Liu Yuquan had ulterior motives.
According to their local customs, if He Zhaojin was embraced by Liu Fuzu, it meant she was no longer innocent. She would either marry Liu Fuzu, marry someone far away, or remain unmarried for the rest of her life.
Otherwise, the fact that she was hugged by a man would be talked about for the rest of her life.
Because of this, Liu Yuquan thought that as long as he made a casual gesture, he would have a wife.
However, He Laicai is also a ruthless character.
After discovering Liu Yuquan's intentions, he immediately confronted him.
At this point, the two sides clashed.
These two families, who were supposed to be getting married, might become mortal enemies if this situation isn't resolved!
Liu Fuzu did like He Zhaojin very much, but his words carried no weight at home. In the Liu family, it was Liu Yuquan, the head of the household, who made the decisions.
"He Laicai, don't try to bully me. I think you just don't want to marry off your daughter, you want to sell her!"
Liu Yuquan glared at He Laicai and was the first to make a move.
"You're talking nonsense!"
He Laicai did want a higher bride price, but he never considered selling his daughter.
Or perhaps he himself didn't realize that his actions were no different from selling his daughter.
"You surnamed Liu, I think you're clearly trying to take advantage of the situation!"
"Isn't it just because your son saved my daughter?"
"Let me tell you, if that's how you think, I'd rather not go through with this marriage!"
"Fine, if you don't want to get married, then don't. I'd like to see who your daughter can marry next!"
Liu Yuquan was very assertive, since his son wasn't the one who suffered.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Just as the two were completely at an impasse, Han Ganshan appeared.
"You've really made something of yourself!"
"They're all obsessed with money!"
Han Ganshan, as an observer, saw everything clearly.
He Laicai wanted to take the opportunity to get some dowry, while Liu Yuquan wanted to pay less dowry and get a daughter-in-law for free.
"Listen up, all of you! This marriage is going to happen whether it's good or bad!"
"Liu Lao Er, in a normal family, you should pay the standard dowry for a bride. Don't try to take advantage of the situation!"
"Old He, don't even think about asking for an exorbitant amount."
"Marriage is about forging a bond between two families, not creating enemies!"
