Chapter 7842 Happy event in the Zhang family
"Everyone like you, your family had a good life when you were born, and your grandchildren don't have to worry about their livelihood even when they are young."
"People like us are used to eating white flour steamed buns, and if I let you eat steamed buns, you will cry after two meals!"
"It's easier said than done to carry big bags and do accounting work!"
"Dad, no matter how difficult it is, you can't let your girl marry someone like Yang Yongqing?"
"Boss, what kind of person is Yang Yongqing? Let me ask you, has Yang Yongqing killed someone or set a fire? Has he stolen or committed theft?" Zheng Er asked again.
The eldest son was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head, "I've never heard of that."
"That being the case, what's wrong with marrying?" Zheng Er asked again.
"Think about it, your sister went on a blind date a few days ago, and there were eleven female dependents in our house. The food on the table was expensive, and it cost them ten taels of silver."
"When they came back, they sent them back in batches and packed cakes and beets for the children. The children were so happy. How long had it been since they had such delicious food?"
Zheng Er's words made his sons and Mr. Shen fall silent.
The way the children jumped and laughed when they saw the delicious food yesterday seemed to be still before their eyes.
In the past, my life at home was smooth, because I hired a cook to cook whatever I wanted.
"And your family members are all going to eat and drink with you. If Yang Yongqing is really that kind of evil person, he would have turned his back on him and left on the spot. Why should he stay to deal with it?"
Mentioning her two sisters-in-law and niece, Shen felt ashamed.
"Dad, after listening to your analysis, I think Yang Yongqing is not bad. At least he came to the blind date with sincerity." The eldest son said again.
Zheng Er nodded while stroking the gray beard on his chin over the past year and a half.
The second son also spoke, and he asked puzzledly: "Since I came to the blind date with sincerity, why is there nothing more to say in the past few days after we have eaten and sent someone off?"
When asked this, Zheng Er's face suddenly darkened as if he had splashed ink.
This was something that had been bothering him these past few days, making him sleepless and unable to figure it out.
Logically speaking, after the men and women of the two families have met, the next step is to strike a matchmaker while the iron is hot, to exchange birthdays and horoscopes, and to officially finalize the marriage. Why is there no movement?
"Could it be that after seeing our family eat ten taels of silver in one go, we got angry and wanted to break off the engagement?" the second son asked again.
To be honest, eating ten taels of silver in one meal is indeed too much, and extortion is not like this.
Zheng Er pondered: "It's possible. We haven't decided whether to withdraw from the relationship or not. There may be differences within the family."
"Ah? Dad, what should we do? If we really break off the engagement, our family will not be able to hold on to the thick legs of Lao Yang's family. Secondly, the girl's reputation will be damaged. Dad has to think of a way!
"
Zheng Er gritted his teeth and frowned. After a while, he clenched his fists and said forcefully: "If we wait a few more days, we can't do it anymore. We have no choice but to take that road!"
…
When Wang Hongtao finally finished the funeral for his in-laws and returned to the village to prepare for Yang Yongqing's marriage proposal, Lao Yang's family proposed to postpone the marriage proposal again.
why?
Because Zhang Youfu is going to Liaojia Village to marry Liao Meiying in these few days.
"I came here from the Zhang family earlier. Wow, the wedding room is really well prepared. There are a lot of things in it, from the bed to the clothes cabinet, to live in. This lucky girl is really interested in me, Mei Ying!"
When Ms. Liu came to tell Ms. Sun and Yang Ruoqing the news, she was very happy. While talking, she took out melon seeds and peanuts from her pocket and ate them. Obviously, they were caught from the Zhang family.
"Zhang Youfu is indeed a nice person and he lives a good life." Yang Ruoqing also praised.
When Liao Meiying gets married tomorrow, the Luo family will have to gather members and have a wedding banquet.
The old Yang family would not go there in order to avoid suspicion.
"I sat there with Youfu Niang for a while, talked about the household chores, and asked about some things." Mrs. Liu said mysteriously again.
"What's the matter? Fourth Aunt, stop beating around the bush and speak more frankly." Yang Ruoqing urged unceremoniously.
Mrs. Liu chuckled, walked over and said, "Although Mei Ying remarried and brought a child with her, Zhang Youfu married her as if she were a young lady!"
"The things in the house, the three matchmakers and six betrothals, the betrothal gifts, banquets, etc., are all arranged according to the first marriage. The purpose is to give Mei Ying dignity!"
Yang Ruoqing also knew something about this.
Because recently Liao Meiying returned to Lao Yang's house to visit the sick Jin, and even came to Luo's house to sit with Yang Ruoqing for a while, and mentioned Zhang Youfu.
Zhang Youfu and Liao Meiying promised that after getting married, although Zhang's mother was Liao Meiying's legitimate mother-in-law, Zhang Youfu would not object to Liao Meiying and Jin's filial piety.
Jin is also welcome to visit Zhang's grandson Zhen'er. Anyway, Zhang Youfu should give Liao Meiying enough respect and power.
"And Mei Ying will also bring her dowry." Mrs. Liu added.
"Then you must bring it. Zhang Youfu gave you a betrothal gift." Yang Ruoqing added.
Regarding this matter, Liao Meiying also mentioned it to Yang Ruoqing in private.
Zhang Youfu sent a betrothal gift of four taels of silver to the Liao family. Father Liao and mother Liao planned to use all the four taels of silver for the dowry.
Liao Meiying was grateful to her parents for their hard work, and also grateful to her brother and sister-in-law for taking care of her in the past few years. Therefore, after discussing with her parents, Liao Meiying decided to leave two taels to her parents.
The dowry was purchased according to the standard of two taels of silver. Then, she worked in the herb collection team in the past few years and also saved some money.
She would take the money to the Zhang family and live with Zhang Youfu.
Of course, there is also some money, which was given to Zhen'er by Tan when she divided the boxes.
Liao Meiying would not touch that part of the money, so she had to save it without losing a penny for Zhen'er. Regardless of whether she was studying or marrying a wife, that part of the money must be spent on Zhen'er anyway.
"Not to mention, during this period, Mei Ying was living at her parents' house and I didn't see their mother and son. I really missed Zhen'er a little." said Sun.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "The day after tomorrow, Zhen'er will come over the day after tomorrow."
"If you don't bring Zhen'er here tomorrow, why should your child cry if he can't see his mother?" Mrs. Sun asked again.
Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and smiled ambiguously, "Third sister-in-law, you are really a bit stupid. How can you get married with a baby by your side?"
When Mrs. Sun reacted, her face turned red.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu liked this topic very much and continued: "It's just that I can't see my mother for one night. It's not a big deal. I just need to give her some delicious food to coax her."
"As for Zhang Youfu, he started renovating the house and making furniture a few months ago when he got engaged, and now he has finally managed to marry someone into the house."
