Now she is in her early teens and she still hasn't found a husband.
Jiang Amei sat down and talked to He Zhu and found that she was a nice person.
Not as high-handed as the matchmaker said.
The two mothers were chatting about family matters and the topic turned to the marriage of their two children.
He Zhu said, "My son Ajin works in the city and has a fixed salary and income every month.
In theory, the conditions are not bad.
After he met your Xiao Fan that day, he felt that he fell in love with her.
He also uses the weekends to help Xiao Fan with work. You should know about this, right? "
At this time, Fan Guiyi also came out and said:
“Aunt, I know you are Brother Jin’s family.
Last time, Brother Jin gave us some eggs that he brought with him."
Hearing this, He Zhu was even more delighted.
Doesn’t this mean that the two children like each other?
So He Zhu also asked Fan Guiqi: "Do you like Brother Jin?
How about letting him be your brother-in-law?"
Fan Guiqi looked innocent and nodded vigorously.
It means yes.
Jiang Amei, however, had a worried look on her face.
She said a little embarrassedly:
“It’s not that we don’t agree, it’s just that the burden on our family is too heavy.
The family was poor and had little money. They relied on Guizhen driving a tractor in the team and her father working in the fields to earn money to support the family.
There are many children in the family, and food and clothing become a problem.
I'm afraid that if she marries into your family, you will dislike her.
After all, your family is so well-off, you can definitely find a girl with similar conditions as you."
Jiang Amei also said very sincerely.
He Zhu disagreed with her statement:
"Mother Fan, you are wrong.
We are all people who raise children, and our children’s marriage is a big deal.
They like each other, how can we stop them from being together just because of their family conditions?
Don’t you think so?
Besides, they are the ones who live their own lives. How much does it have to do with our families?
If Guizhen really marries me, you can propose any conditions you want.
We will help wherever we can.”
He Zhu said generously.
What this means is that the Fan family can ask for more dowry in order to change their family’s living conditions.
But Amei Yujiang was unwilling to do so.
She said: "We are also marrying off our daughter, not selling her.
If this is really about marriage, then it should be done according to normal circumstances.
In rural areas, we usually give as much as we can and never ask for more."
Hearing this, He Zhu and Liu Yu looked at each other, their hearts were as dark as a mirror.
In other words, the Fan family is not the type of family that would try to climb up the social ladder, and even the bride price is just following the crowd.
According to the situation at that time, the dowry asked for by rural people was about eighty-eight, less than one hundred.
The ones inside the city are taller, some are 188 meters high and some are 288 meters high.
If the conditions are better, it may be higher.
Hearing that the two adults had even discussed the bride price, Liu Yu felt that there was hope.
"So, Sister Guizhen has agreed to marry into our family?"
"We have to wait until she comes back to discuss this matter."
At noon that day, Liu Yu and He Zhu stayed at Fan's house for lunch.
Jiang Amei mixed the two pounds of pork that He Zhu brought with bamboo shoots, cooked them into a big pot, and brought it to the table for everyone to enjoy.
Fan Guizhen did not come back at noon. The other family members, including his younger brother Fan Guizhen, his younger sister Fan Guimin, as well as his mother, father, Fan Guizhen's grandmother and grandfather, had lunch with He Zhu and Liu Yu.
