Before the Zhao family found Zhao Dashu, another big event happened in Old Sow Village.
Zhao Dashu asked the village chief to bring a matchmaker to Xiao Lei's house to propose marriage. Zhao Dashu liked the boy from the Xiao family and planned to have him marry into the Zhao family. Xiao Lei was getting married to Xiao Ping, and since he had no elders, he specially asked an old doctor to help him entertain the village chief and the matchmaker.
Oh my god!
How could Zhao Dashu be so troublesome and find a live-in son-in-law without any noise? Does he really not plan to adopt a nephew or a relative?
It's not just talk, but direct proposal of marriage, which means that the two families have informed each other about this matter in advance, and both parties are willing.
Wasn’t the kid from the Xiao family almost dying from being pushed to death by a wild boar? When did it get better?
The whole village was in an uproar, and the person involved warmly entertained the village chief and the matchmaker at home, thanking them for running errands for him.
"Both parties have agreed. Look, this is the man's engagement letter."
Zhao Dashu was very satisfied with the matchmaker's efficiency. "This marriage was made possible thanks to you. You have worked so hard."
The matchmaker was so happy that she covered her mouth and laughed. It was all thanks to her. It was all agreed upon. She just went through the motions and ran errands twice.
Thinking of the reward given by the Zhao family, she couldn't stop smiling. If all marriages could be so easy to negotiate, and everyone was as straightforward as Zhao Dashu, she could make another thirty bucks!
"What are you talking about, Master Zhao? Everyone knows that your daughter is smart and capable. It is a blessing that Xiao's second son was able to marry into your family in his previous life."
The village chief was so upset after hearing what he said. It had to be the matchmaker who described the marriage into the wife's family in such a exaggerated way that it was difficult for him to understand. Yet she didn't say a single wrong word.
And that Xiao Lei is also a ruthless guy. He married himself directly into Dashu's family. Looking at his expression, he doesn't seem uncomfortable at all, as if he is not marrying but getting married.
Is marrying into another's family an honorable thing? He was completely confused. Was he out of date? Can’t keep up with everyone’s thoughts and pace?
After sending the matchmaker away, Zhao Dashu put away Xiao Lei's engagement letter. He gave a generous betrothal gift today. After all, he was a grown man marrying into their family, so he didn't want to give less than what was expected. After all, they would be a family in the future.
"Xiao Yu, after Xiao Lei comes in, you should be nice to him and don't just give him the cold shoulder for no reason."
“Do I come off as a mean person?”
"Although you are marrying into the family, I hope you can get along like an ordinary couple. My daughter, we have to be worthy of her, don't you understand? You can't be fickle in the future. There is no such thing as having three wives and four concubines in our Zhao family."
Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't believe that this was what her father said to her. She pointed at her nose and said, "Do you think I'm a fickle person? As long as he keeps his status and lives a good life at home, I will definitely live a good life with him."
Zhao Dashu felt a little relieved. "I'm glad you understand. I'll go to the study first."
"Dad, can I have three wives and four concubines?"
Zhao Dashu staggered. It should be fine, right? His daughter is the master now, and Xiao Lei is the one who spilled the beans, which means his daughter is now the man.
"No, Xiaoyu, didn't you just say you wouldn't change your mind?"
"I'm just curious, just asking."
Bah, it’s all his fault for talking too much. My daughter seemed to take it to heart. Luckily my wife didn’t come with us because she was packing her things.
"I don't think so. I've never heard of a woman having several husbands. Let's just be down-to-earth. Don't you think your mother and I are doing fine?"
"I know, Dad. Go back to the study. The future of our family depends on you."
"Dad, my eldest brother is going to marry Zhao Xiaoyu!" I heard that they had agreed on it before and made the decision today. I also heard that the Zhao family gave him a lot of things.
It's a deposit. My brother must have a lot of money at home.
"What are you talking about? How can you say you are a big brother? You are just a little brother. Xiao Lei is not your big brother!"
It wasn’t like that before, but it is really like that now!
