When Old Li returned home after finishing the work in the field, he felt that the atmosphere in the house was a bit strange. He looked at the frowning Liu Shi, and he frowned and asked, what happened to her
Mrs. Liu covered her eyes with her hands, and her tears began to flow down her cheeks. She cried and said, I'm sorry to come to Fu...
"What happened to Laifu?" Old Li's heart skipped a beat. He looked around but didn't see Li Laifu's figure, "Where did Laifu go? Where is he? What happened?"
He gave birth to two sons in total, and the younger son is gone. If something happened to the elder son, how could he bear it
Old Li thought a lot of bad things in his mind, he shook his head in fear, and looked at Liu Shi again, "Don't cry, what happened? Tell me clearly."
Mrs. Liu raised her head and glanced at Old Li's head. Seeing his dark face, she didn't dare to cry anymore. She wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said with a choked voice, "Old man, the Huang family in the next village said, if our family If they can't get any more money, they will marry the girl from the Huang family to someone else, what should I do?" She took the opportunity to wipe the corners of her eyes again, and the tears that had stopped bursting out again.
It turned out that it was because of this matter. He thought something big happened? Old Li glared at Mrs. Liu, sat down on the chair, took his tobacco, and took a puff when he lit it.
"Old man, did you say something?" After waiting for a while, Mrs. Liu saw that Old Li was only smoking a cigarette and didn't respond, so she couldn't help but urged her.
Old Li slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth. He raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Liu, and said lightly, "If you marry, you can marry. What does it matter to us?" You can marry three daughters-in-law.
It's like the lion opened his mouth. From the bottom of his heart, he doesn't quite agree with this marriage.
Seeing Old Li's unsalty tone, Mrs. Liu stared at him with wide eyes, "Old man, what are you talking about? It's not like you don't know that your son is going to marry that girl from the Huang family. If the Huang family That girl is married, and he will never marry a wife in his life." She began to cry again, "Do you want to watch your son be a bachelor for the rest of his life? Ah?"
Although she was also annoyed that the Huang family wanted so many dowries, she couldn't help her son like that girl from the Huang family!
I really don't know what ecstasy drug my son drank? You must marry the girl from the Huang family.
As a mother, she couldn't bear to watch him remain a bachelor for the rest of her life, so she could only compromise.
Old Li's frown became tighter, and he took a few puffs of cigarettes in silence. After a long while, he said again: "Why does a man have no wife? Why do you have to guard that girl from the Huang family?"
"What's the use of telling me about this? You tell your son, if you can persuade him, then go ahead and persuade him!"
Mrs. Liu acted like I didn't want to care about it, which gave Lao Li a headache, "Where did Laifu go? Call him back!" His son is not here, who is he talking to
"Hearing that the Huang family was going to marry the girl from the Huang family to someone else, he was in a bad mood, so he went back to his room." Mrs. Liu stood up from her chair, "I'll call him out, you can persuade him , I can’t persuade you anymore!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode towards Li Laifu's room.
She called Li Laifu several times at the door, but Li Laifu opened the door slowly, he asked feebly, what's the matter with Mrs. Liu
Mrs. Liu winked at him, and said loudly: "You have to find you, come out quickly!"
Li Laifu raised his eyebrows at Mrs. Liu, lowered his head, and followed Mrs. Liu to the main room.
"Father, are you looking for me?"
Seeing Li Laifu's decadent appearance, old Li's eyes flashed with disappointment.
Because Li Laifu is the eldest son, he is going to inherit the family business and take on the heavy responsibility of raising his parents, so he is full of expectations for this eldest son.
From childhood to adulthood, the eldest son will give whatever he wants, hoping that he will become famous.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son did not develop as she expected. After studying for so long, he didn't even pass the exam as a scholar, and he couldn't do well when he returned to farming.
I really don't know what he will do
"Are you the girl who must go to Huang's house?"
Li Laifu raised his head and glanced at Old Li's head quickly, then lowered his eyes and said, "So what if you want to marry, our family doesn't have a bride price for others." He sighed deeply, sat on the chair in frustration, and The look of a frustrated person.
Old Li squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Laifu, and he took another puff on his cigarette, "You have read so many books, don't you understand a truth? Why should a man have no wife? Why should he be obsessed with that girl? "
Hearing old Li's head scratching his head, Li Laifu pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I've seen so many girls, so I fell in love with her. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't want to marry a wife in my life." She must marry Huang Meiniang, "Father, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind."
Old Li gritted his teeth, a little annoyed by Li Laifu, he snorted coldly and said, then don't marry, you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life!
What's the point of making yourself like this for a woman
Thinking of his missing youngest son, Old Li felt melancholy.
If he had stopped the old woman, the youngest son might still be alive.
pity…
"You are an old man, why are you so cruel? My son has been a bachelor all his life, does his face shine? Huh?" As soon as Liu Shi heard what Old Li said, she stopped doing it immediately and slapped her thigh. He shouted loudly, "I don't care, since my son likes that girl from the Huang family, then marry her back!"
Hearing this, Li Laifu felt joy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He pinched his fingers vigorously to let himself continue to show a sad look.
Old Li knocked his head on the chimney in his hand, looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "All the money in the family is with you, so you can hire money to get rich!"
Immediately, Liu's face froze for a moment, and she said awkwardly, "How can the family have so much money? If the family had so much money, I would have gone to give Laifu a betrothal gift, why wait until now? "The money in her hand cannot be used casually.
"It's fine if you don't have money, but don't even think about the girl from the Huang family." Old Li was determined, "Their family asks for so many dowries as soon as they open their mouths, which shows that their character is not much better? If you marry her back, it is inevitable that you will die Just like your previous daughter-in-law, she harmed the family."
When he heard that the Huang family asked for so many betrothal gifts, he didn't like it.
Li Laifu bit his lip hard, then looked up at Old Li, "Father, the girl from the Huang family can read and write. It is understandable that her family would ask for so many betrothal gifts." With a dark face, he didn't dare to continue to defend the Huang family, "Forget it, let father decide this matter, if you don't marry, don't marry!"
After that, he stood up shaking his head and sighing, turned around and was about to go back to the room.
It was just that the moment he carried Old Li's head on his back, he winked at Mrs. Liu.
As soon as Mrs. Liu received his wink, she ran up to hold Li Laifu's hand contentedly, and began to cry loudly, scolding old Li while crying.
He didn't know how long he had been complaining, but Old Li's head was throbbing and hurting from her noise. He put the chimney on the table with a snap, and roared, "Okay, don't cry."
When he yelled, Liu Shi paused in fright, and Li Laifu quickly reached out to pinch her, and she continued to cry.
"Come to rich, it's my mother who is sorry for you, mother has no ability, no money to marry you a daughter-in-law, let you be a bachelor for the rest of your life, mother is sorry for the ancestors of the Li family!"
Old Li stretched out his hands and rubbed his temples, his tone softened, "Okay, don't cry, my head hurts from crying, tell me, how much money do I have at home? I'll figure out what to do with the rest! "
There is only such a son in the family, and as a father, it is impossible for him to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
Since the son likes the girl from the Huang family so much, if she is the only one he will not marry, then follow his wishes!
Mrs. Liu and Li Laifu looked at each other, and then said, "Old man, do you know that Xiao Ling is getting married?"
"Well, I heard about it." When he came back from the field, on the way, people in the village congratulated him, so he knew.
That granddaughter made him very proud.
Mrs. Liu went to Old Li and sat down. She whispered to Old Li, "We are Xiaoling's grandparents. Should she marry from our family?" Things are much easier to handle.
Anyway, no matter what happens today, she will let the old man agree.
Old Li thought for a while. His youngest son and wife are gone, and Li Qingling and the others are in a special situation. As a grandfather, he really has to take care of this matter, "It's best for her to marry from our family." In this way, she will not People will make irresponsible remarks.
Hearing this, Liu's eyes lit up, she hurriedly took advantage of the fire, and continued, "The dowry from the Liu family should also be brought to our house, and we will help Xiaoling buy the dowry." She stared closely at the old man. Li Tou, praying in his heart that old Li Tou nodded quickly.
Old Li turned his head to look at Mrs. Liu, then took a look at her, and asked with some doubts, "Didn't you just talk about getting rich? Why did you come here again?" He has been with Mrs. Liu for decades. We are married, we know her well, "Are you thinking about Xiaoling's dowry?"
If Liu Shi didn't have this idea, she wouldn't talk about it for no reason.
The old man's eyes are really sharp, so he can see it all.
Mrs. Liu met Old Li's eyes, nodded calmly, and said confidently: "Xiao Ling is our own granddaughter, and it's only natural that we accept her dowry." The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was reasonable, "As a niece, she has to think about her uncle, right?"
When marrying a girl, which family doesn't take the girl's dowry as a dowry for the son or grandson
"Are you crazy?" Old Li stared at Liu in disbelief. She could say such words, she was really crazy.
