The most heart-warming thing is that with Cheng Qiao's conditions, she would not have married a second-rate man originally, but now with Chunhua's help, she has a legitimate reason to marry him.
"I understand. It seems that I have to find a husband for Chunhua as soon as possible. What's so good about this second-rate guy? Apart from having a brother who is a soldier, what else can he show off?"
Cuihua stopped talking. The second-rate guy had been a bad person for so many years and had a very bad reputation, but she also saw from the clues that he was extraordinary.
Just like the bicycle that suddenly appeared today, and the pork belly, no one in the village could buy them, but he gave them away generously, so Chunhua's vision is actually quite good.
"How about I keep an eye out for Chunhua to see which family is interested in her and discuss a marriage with her. But we have to wait until this matter is over before we discuss it. Otherwise, Chunhua's reputation will be ruined."
Only then did Zhaodi fully understand Cuihua's meaning. If she continued to hold on to the money and refused to pay compensation, the second-rate guy would reveal Chunhua's thoughts, and Chunhua's second half of life would be over.
Moreover, if Cheng Qiao went to the police station to report the case and said that Chunhua had committed intentional homicide, then Chunhua would be arrested immediately and the reputation of their entire Chen family would be ruined.
"But all the money in my family added up to only one hundred yuan. Your family borrowed one hundred yuan, and we still need one hundred yuan." Zhaodi finally agreed to pay the money, but her family didn't have that much money.
"Let's write an IOU first. After the autumn harvest, our two families can still get together."
"That won't do. Your boy is old enough now. If he wants to get married, you can't be unable to come up with the money for the bride price."
"Hey, don't think about it now. Let's solve the problem between Erliuzi and Cheng Qiao first. If Erliuzi gets crazy, not only will your family suffer, but the entire Xiangyang Village will be disgraced."
Zhaodi was completely silent. How could she forget that the village chief valued the honor of the entire village more than his own life? If it really came to this, the two brothers would probably start a quarrel among themselves.
"Wang Tuzi, why are you here?"
Chen Weimin's voice was heard from outside. Zhaodi and Chunhua looked at each other, opened the door and went out. They saw Wang the butcher standing at the door with two fat pork belly and a net bag of food in his hands.
"I... I'm here to propose marriage."
Wang the butcher secretly glanced at Li Huan who was hiding outside the yard, and mustered up the courage to say that this morning, Li Huan asked him to bring some meat and some cakes and candies to the accountant in Xiangyang Village to propose marriage.
"Propose a marriage? What marriage?"
"I... like Chunhua from your family. My mother said that the betrothal gift is 100 yuan, a bicycle, 100 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of flour, and three feet of flowered cloth."
"this… "
Wang Tuzi is a distant relative of Wang Duocai in the village. He is ugly in appearance, and his wife has died. His mother at home is also a worry to him. If a man like this is penniless, he basically has no chance of getting married.
But Wang the butcher was lucky. He bought a formal job in the meat processing factory and even his household registration was moved to the county town. I heard that his monthly salary was 36 yuan, and he also received various tickets and benefits.
With such conditions, he could still marry a girl from a slightly poorer family even in the county town. Why did he come to his home to propose marriage? Chen Weimin couldn't help but ponder.
Wang Tuzi glanced at Chen Weimin with his rat eyes, pushed his bicycle in, took two urea bags from the bicycle, and took out a hundred yuan from his pocket.
"Uncle, this is 200 kilograms of rice and flour, this is 100 yuan, and this bicycle. I bought it last month. Now I just need the floral fabric, which is really hard to find."
"you… "
"To show my sincerity, I brought the betrothal gift directly. I don't know if Chunhua likes me or not, but the first time I saw Chunhua, I knew that my destiny had come."
Wang Butzi really liked Chunhua. Although this girl was from the countryside, she was prettier than the girls in the county town. It would be great if they could be a couple.
However, he also knew that he was having some unrealistic thoughts. Chen Chunhua's father was the accountant of Xiangyang Village, and her uncle was the village chief. They were not people who could be easily flirted with.
Just when he was about to give up, Li Huan came and asked him to bring good things to propose marriage. You have to know that Li Huan is his big money sponsor, and the money he used to buy the job was earned through Li Huan.
But Li Huan was a good brother. He told him everything about Chen Chunhua. If Li Huan was not afraid of this woman causing trouble, then he could just go and get her. If he was afraid, then it was as if his brother had never come.
Wang Tuzi patted his chest. It was just marrying an attempted murderer. Although he, Wang Tuzi, had no other skills, he was good at conquering people.
So he bought pork from the meat processing plant, and 200 kilograms of rice and flour from Li Huan, and rode his bicycle over here.
When Chen Weimin saw the betrothal gift that Wang Tuzi gave to his daughter, he felt conflicted. He was jealous of the money and bicycle in Wang Tuzi's hand, but he was reluctant to let his daughter marry this divorced man.
"You like my spring flowers."
Zhaodi also heard what Wang Tuzi said, and she had an idea. If Wang Tuzi could be nice to her daughter, she would not only be able to collect a hundred yuan, but also get a bicycle.
"Hello, auntie. This is a gift from me to you. Please accept it."
Wang the butcher took things out of his net bag, including malted milk, egg cakes, fruit candies, a bag of milk powder, two bottles of liquor and a pack of Shengchang brand cigarettes.
Zhaodi's eyes lit up when she saw the malted milk and milk powder. These things were so precious that one might not be able to buy them even if one had money. It turned out that this butcher Wang worked in the meat processing factory and had many connections.
"Aunt, Sister Chunhua came to the meat processing factory to queue up to buy meat. As soon as I saw her... Sister Chunhua is not only beautiful, but also gentle. I think she must have been well-educated in her family, so I worked hard to save money. When I have saved enough, I want to propose marriage to her."
Wang the butcher's words made Zhaodi very happy. Her daughter Chunhua was beautiful and well-mannered. She never went to the fields and was very particular even when cooking.
If it weren't for the enchantress Cheng Qiao coming here, her daughter would have been the most beautiful girl in Xiangyang Village. Unfortunately, she was outshined by Cheng Qiao, and she was very unhappy about it.
"We have accepted the gifts. You can go back and discuss with your family about when is the best time to get married. I have also prepared some dowry for my daughter. She will have plenty of bedding and daily necessities as well."
Zhaodi agreed to the marriage without thinking twice. Her idea was very simple. If Wang Butzi didn't really want to marry her daughter, why would he bring so many things with him? They cost several hundred yuan each.
