After the matchmaker came in, she introduced the two parties directly.
Qian Shulan didn't know the names of these two people, Qiu Xiuhua and Hong Shunying, until today.
After the introduction, Qiu Xiuhua began to speak in a sarcastic tone, "My dear, my mistress is 19 years old this year. I originally wanted to marry him off when he was 20, but he agreed to marry your daughter the next day."
Ha! Does this mean that Wang Danna is clinging to her son? How shameless must a person be to say such a thing. It seems that Qiu Xiuhua has the same purpose as her, to break up this couple!
The matchmaker's smile was a little stiff. Is this something you can say when proposing marriage? Could she be here to ruin the party
Qian Shulan waved her hands with a stern face, very reluctantly, "Don't call me in-law yet. Our two families haven't become relatives yet. My daughter only told me yesterday that you were coming to visit our home! Don't accuse my daughter of clinging to your son. If she is really as shameless as you said, I will break her legs. There are no three-legged women in this world, but there are many two-legged men! Don't you agree?"
Qiu Xiuhua was extremely embarrassed and was about to speak.
Qian Shulan suddenly changed the subject and said, "Your own son is not well disciplined and doesn't listen to you. You should take him home to teach him. You came to my house in the middle of the day because you want me to help you discipline your son?"
Qiu Xiuhua's face froze and she looked at Hong Shunyou aggrievedly.
Hong Shunyou obviously didn't expect that the two of them would start arguing as soon as they met.
He subconsciously looked at Wang Danna, but saw that she seemed to be worried about something and it was obvious that he could not rely on her.
He had to explain himself, "Aunt, that's not what my mother meant. My mother said that Dana and I have been together for a while, and we are both aiming to get married. We are here to propose marriage today."
Qian Shulan took a look at the things they brought, which were now placed on the table.
A pack of cigarettes costs eight cents, and ten packs cost eighty cents. A bottle of loose wine costs two cents. A pound of fruit candy costs ten cents. A pound of egg cake costs fifty cents.
Well, the total is only 1.6 yuan, less than 2 yuan. It's really sincere.
If Wang Danna still fails to realize this family's "sincere kindness" towards her and insists on marrying them, then she can do nothing about it.
Perhaps she stayed there for too long, so long that everyone turned their eyes to the things on the table.
Sun Daqin was the one who couldn't hold back her words. Seeing her mother-in-law's unhappy face, she rolled her eyes and immediately started yelling, "Oh my God. I've never heard of a family marrying a daughter-in-law so thrifty. Marriage is a lifelong event, and your family only prepared such junk. Big-produced products at eight cents a bag, fruit candies at ten cents a pound, tut tut tut, you buy whatever is cheap."
Qian Shulan gave her an admiring look. Sun Daqin was so beautiful that she puffed out her chest proudly.
Hong Shunyou's face was burning. Something was wrong. He had clearly bought Daqianjin cigarettes, White Rabbit candies, Maotai liquor and boxed biscuits. How did it all become these
He turned his gaze to his mother. But he saw Qiu Xiuhua slap her thigh and start crying about being poor, "Sister, our family is too poor. I also want to buy something expensive, but we really can't afford it."
Qian Shulan frowned and looked at Hong Shunyou in confusion, "Your monthly salary should be at least thirty or forty, right? Now your mother is crying poor to me? Are you addicted to smoking or gambling?!"
Hong Shunyou was so scared that he waved his hands and said, "No, no! I don't have these hobbies. I give my monthly salary to my mother. Right? Mother!"
Qiu Xiuhua was extremely upset. Should she admit it? If she admitted that she received her son's salary, then why didn't she have money to give him a wife or gifts? Isn't this just slapping herself in the face? She was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
Qian Shulan looked at the three people with different thoughts and felt bored. She stood up from the stool and said, "I have things to do. I don't have time to play house with you guys."
As he spoke, he was about to give it away.
Hong Shunyou was anxious and stopped her, "Aunt, I'm not. This is not what I prepared. Believe me. I will definitely replenish it for you. I came here today to propose marriage. You see..."
Qian Shulan glanced sideways at Wang Danna and saw that although she looked unhappy, she had not completely given up.
Qian Shulan didn't want to waste time with these people. She was really exhausted, so she asked, "I won't waste time with you. You want to marry my Dana? Fine! Your family has to pay fifty yuan for the betrothal gift, not a penny less!"
Hong Shunyou's face froze and he looked at Wang Danna, but saw that she kept her head down and didn't give him any signal.
Hong Shunying, who had been acting as a background, finally spoke up, "Aunt, I heard from my younger brother that your family will give Dana a dowry. Is that true?"
Qian Shulan glanced at her sideways and gave a half-answer, "How much dowry I give depends on the person." Then she looked at Hong Shunyou with disdain, meaning that this person would definitely not give anything.
Qiu Xiuhua had specifically inquired about this before. She had heard from others that Qian Shulan would prepare a dowry for her younger daughter, but she did not believe it. If she really loved her daughters, why did she sell her older daughter in the first place
It was just a cover-up. She didn't believe that anyone would give money to others.
Therefore, Qiu Xiuhua asked a more realistic question, "Do you keep the betrothal money yourself, or let your daughter bring it?"
Qian Shulan still said the same words, "It depends on the person. I won't give a penny to this person in your family." This time it was a slap in the face.
Hong Shunyou has always known that Aunt Qian dislikes him. She has disliked him since the time when they were selling candy.
When they were dating, they looked at each other, but she didn't even show her face. Later I found out that she went to the county town. If she was really satisfied with him, why did she have to go to the county town for those few days? It was obvious that she didn't like him.
He discussed marriage with Wang Danna a month ago, but Wang Danna always avoided the topic and he became suspicious.
After being questioned several times, Wang Danna finally told him that his mother looked down on him.
Now, seeing this look of disgust again, Hong Soonyou felt wronged and wanted to cry.
In order to impress Aunt Qian, he practiced grabbing candies, greeted people with a smile every day, and calculated bills faster and faster. No matter what the weather was, he never came late or left early. He received praise from many customers and even the appreciation and praise from his superiors.
He thought Aunt Qian would give him a smile and praise him.
But she still looked down on him and was dissatisfied with him in various ways. He felt very sad.
He turned his head to look at Wang Danna, only to see her looking at him with expectant eyes.
The grievance in his heart suddenly disappeared, "Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Xiuhua grabbed him and said, "Are you crazy? She said she would not give a dowry and would keep the betrothal money for herself. You still want to give it? Are you crazy?"
Hong Shunyou pursed his lips and said stubbornly, "I want to marry Dana. Mom, stop talking!"
Qiu Xiuhua was so angry that she hit him and said, "Why can't I say anything? My son is getting married, and I can't say anything."
Hong Shunying also advised, "Little brother, I think we should just forget about it. You are only 19 years old, why are you in such a hurry? Just take your time and you will find the right one."
Qiu Xiuhua also kept agreeing, "Yes, yes, you are a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative, and you are still worried that you can't find a good girl. If a delicate girl like her marries you, she can't carry anything, and she will rely on you to support her. Why do you marry her?"
The Wang family watched the three people arguing over there. What kind of words were they talking about? They all deserved to be beaten! What did they think of their little sister
Sun Daqin wanted to slap them in the face, but when she saw that her mother-in-law was not angry at all, she couldn't help but admire her mother-in-law's calmness.
Li Chunhua and Zhou Xuemei thought that these three people must be crazy as they actually said bad things about others in front of them.
Qian Shulan was not as calm as Sun Daqin thought. She came here to disrupt the marriage.
After getting married, she couldn't just break up, or else she would get electric shocks.
Since they are not married yet, she does not need to be punished.
And what a horrible thing this is. Can I marry into this family
She turned her head to look at Wang Danna and found that Wang Danna looked very bad, with no color on her lips and her teeth clenched tightly. There were tears hanging in her eyes, about to fall, which made her very lovable.
That's right! No one would remain indifferent when hearing that the family of the person they are marrying dislikes them so much. She has always believed that her future mother-in-law would be a bad person. But the fact is that she is stupid! She is dumb! She can't listen to other people's advice to her.
Now that the facts were before her, she had to admit that she was too naive! She was also extremely wrong!
She moved her feet and looked at Hong Shunyou, asking with the last glimmer of hope, "I ask you, will you pay the betrothal gift?"
Hong Shunyou, who has been harassed by his mother and sister, is now in a state of confusion.
Most of his salary was given to his mother. Now even if he wanted to marry Dana, he couldn't afford it.
"Mom, as long as I can marry Dana, fifty is fine."
Qiu Xiuhua was so angry that she punched him twice on the arm. "What are you talking about! Do you think getting married is just about the gift? You have to prepare wedding supplies, a new house, and dinner. Everything costs money. How dare you be so generous when you only earn a few dollars?"
Hong Shunyou obviously didn't expect this. He looked at Wang Danna hesitantly.
But she saw the other person blinking, and the tears in her eyes finally fell. She lowered her head and wiped them away.
The matchmaker couldn't stand it anymore and said to the two of them, "Oh, elder sister, doesn't every family prepare a new house and new bedding for the newlyweds when they get married? You can't be too stingy when you get married. Think about it, marriage is only once. The girl that they raised with great effort will be a member of your family in the future. Isn't it your duty to show some appreciation?"
Qiu Xiuhua held her breath, "But she is too greedy, she actually wants fifty. Why should a country girl ask for so much? She wants to take advantage of our family."
The matchmaker smiled and said, "You are wrong. Although Dana is from the countryside, she is a junior high school student, a good worker, and a private teacher in the team."
"Forget it. Even if she is a private teacher now, so what? When she marries into our production team, can she still continue to be a teacher here?"
There is a custom here that teachers are chosen from people in the village. They will not choose people from other villages, and they will certainly not choose married girls.
Therefore, once Wang Danna married and moved to another village, her teaching position would become vacant.
Hua Matchmaker's face froze, but she was an experienced person after all, and said to Qiu Xiuhua, "Even if she can't be a teacher, she is the one chosen by your son after all. As parents, we just want our children to live a good life. As long as they are happy, we are happy too."
Qiu Xiuhua scoffed at this and never said anything.
No matter how Hong Shunyou begged his mother to agree to pay the bride price, Qiu Xiuhua just wouldn't agree.
Hong Shunyou, who was cornered, used his trump card directly, "Mom, if you don't agree, I will go and ask my colleague for a loan. I will just pay him back with next month's salary."
Qiu Xiuhua was so angry that she slapped him directly, "You idiot, you just make me angry. If you dare to do this, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find your leaders for comments and see if they still want a beast like you who disobeys his parents."
Hong Soonyou's face turned red with anger.
Qian Shulan's lips curled up into a cold smile. Look! Can the arm twist stronger than the thigh
She glanced at Wang Danna, and after wiping away her tears, she looked straight at Hong Shunyou, "Go back! Let's break up."
Hong Shunyou, who was so angry that his stomach hurt, turned around in disbelief when he heard this and asked, "What did you say?"
Wang Danna raised her eyes and looked at him, "The clothes you gave me the day before yesterday were not made by your mother, right?"
Hearing her bring this up, Hong Shunyou felt a little guilty. He had to tell a white lie in order to prevent her family from having a problem with his mother.
Qiu Xiuhua was so angry that she grabbed Wang Danna's arm and scolded, "Okay! You little slut! You dare to ask a man to buy things for you before you get married. You really dare to think so. You want me to buy clothes for you, what are you thinking? How can a mother-in-law buy things for her daughter-in-law? If you tell others about it, people will laugh at you." After that, she stretched out her hands, her eyes flashing fiercely, "Hurry and bring the clothes to me."
Wang Danna obviously didn't expect that Hong Shunyou's mother would be this kind of person. She was stunned on the spot.
Hong Shunyou felt very embarrassed. He gave the gift to his girlfriend, but his mother actually asked for it in front of her. How shameless!
Qian Shulan frowned and looked at Wang Danna, "Hurry up and take out the clothes and return them to them!"
Wang Danna subconsciously turned around and ran to her room.
It was too late for Hong Shunyou to stop him.
Soon, Wang Danna came running over with the clothes in her arms. “This dress is of poor quality. It broke on the first day I wore it.”
Hong Shunyou was a little embarrassed, but Qiu Xiuhua grabbed the clothes and shook out the neatly folded clothes, "Let me take a look."
She grabbed the clothes and shook them open. The style was quite nice and it should be perfect for her daughter.
Seeing that there was a tear under the bottom of the dress, he looked very unhappy and glared at Wang Danna, "You are so clumsy. You have only worn new clothes for one day and you have already ruined them. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me!"
Hong Shunyou opened his mouth and looked at his mother in disbelief. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about! I bought this for Dana."
Qiu Xiuhua pushed him away and reached out to Wang Danna, "Hurry up and pay me back!"
Hong Shunyou couldn't stop him at all.
Wang Danna was so angry that tears streamed down her face, and it took her a while to take out two dimes.
Just as Qiu Xiuhua was about to answer it, Qian Shulan stopped her.
He asked Hong Shunyou, "How much did you buy this dress?"
"Two dollars and seventy cents"
Qian Shulan directly took out two yuan and seventy cents from her pocket and handed it to Hong Shunyou, "This is the money for the clothes. From now on, you have nothing to do with my daughter. If I see you pestering my daughter again, I will go to the commune and sue you for being a hooligan!"
Hearing this, Hong Shunyou's eyes turned red, and unprecedented grievance and sadness filled his mind. He hurriedly declined, "No! No! Dana and I are about to get married. Why are you all against it?" He felt very aggrieved when he said the last sentence.
He was like a headless fly, looking at this and that, hoping someone could give him an answer.
He knew that Aunt Qian had always looked down on him, but why did his mother also oppose him being with Dana
And Dana, she had clearly agreed to marry him, why did she want to separate from him now
He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. But he didn't know why!
Qian Shulan snorted coldly, her tone was grim, exposing his last hope, "Do you think your mother came here today to propose marriage to you?" She said to Hong Shunyou who was attracted by her words, "Wrong! Your mother doesn't want you to get married at all! After you get married, you will no longer belong to her alone. The salary you earn must be given to your wife, and you have to support her and the children. How can she agree? Don't be naive, young man! You are nineteen! You should have learned to grow up a long time ago!"
Hong Shunyou was stunned. When he looked at Qian Shulan's sarcastic eyes, he felt like something was piercing his heart.
So, the maternal love he had been expecting was just a joke? His mother just wanted his money? She didn't love him at all
Wang Danna was also stunned.
Seeing that she was actually trying to sow discord, Qiu Xiuhua was so angry that her teeth itched and she shouted at Qian Shulan, "What nonsense are you talking about! How can I not let you tell me about my son!"
Qian Shulan snatched the clothes from her hand, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and pointed at the door and said to the three people, "Who wants to care about your family's affairs! Pick up the junk you brought and get out of here! I never said that my daughter would marry into your Hong family! Stop flattering yourself!"
Qiu Xiuhua was so angry that she wanted to hit someone! But when she saw Qian Shulan's extremely cold face, she immediately backed off.
Before leaving, Qian Shulan warned them, "If I hear you slandering my daughter's reputation, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ruin your son's job."
Qiu Xiuhua looked as if she had eaten a fly. She glared at Qian Shulan fiercely, and Wang Shouren raised his fist to hit her, which frightened her so much that she ran away.
Hong Shunyou didn't want to leave, and kept looking back at Wang Danna, calling her name. But his sister grabbed both of his arms and dragged him away.
Wang Danna looked at the backs of the three people and felt a sense of peace in her heart.
