Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 144 The heroic Lin Xiuli

"So, if our Xiuli gets married, will she still suffer?"

Zuo Meiling still raised this unavoidable topic.

As soon as this question came out, everyone fell silent.

Milanlan was a little dissatisfied and looked at Zuo Meiling.

And Zuo Meiling was not afraid of her either. Their eyes met head-on, neither of them avoiding each other.

The feeling of Mars hitting the earth.

"This is indeed true..."

Li Muyang has actually thought about this question many times. He originally thought of some reasons and wordings for how to answer it.

But at this moment, he suddenly didn't want to make those excuses anymore.

He just wanted to be honest.

He knew that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were not that kind of snobbery, and perhaps sincerity was the best weapon to impress them.

"It is indeed a fact that my mother is physically inconvenient, but he can't change this matter... at least not yet, right? As sons, our mother has worked hard to bring us up, and now she is old. , we can’t just leave our mother to fend for ourselves, right?

I think this principle should be applicable anywhere. My brother, sister-in-law, aunt and uncle are also sitting here. If they are not feeling well, you will definitely take care of them carefully like me, and you will not think of saying anything. Is it a burden? Do you think it drags down your life? "

"This……"

Zuo Meiling did not expect that in the blink of an eye, the topic suddenly turned to her. Everyone was looking at her. She had no choice but to say: "Of course there is no problem in taking care of the elderly, but the problem is that our family Xiuli will suffer along with it..."

"Maybe it will be a bit hard, but my mother has many daughters-in-law and daughters, and we don't take care of them all. And I think this way, if there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure. If there is an old man at home to take care of it, we can do everything. He seems to have a stable heart, brother and sister-in-law, what do you think?"

"This is absolutely true..."

Zuo Meiling now realized that Li Muyang was difficult to deal with.

At least I can't use my paralyzed mother as an excuse to continue the topic.

If he continues talking, it will only make the second elder think that Li Muyang is a very filial person and like him from the bottom of his heart.

Zuo Meiling knew very well what kind of people her parents-in-law were.

Thinking of this, she changed the topic again, "Sheep, my sister-in-law Xue said that you don't even have a yard at home now, you just live in three hoop kilns that have been built for several years, right?"

"Well, for now."

"Then where do you want our Xiuli to live? There is no new house, so why don't you let her live in the old house with you?"

"Her sister-in-law, all the problems in this yard can be solved. Wasn't our fifth child alone before? It's useless to have such a big yard. If you think it's beautiful and you need to build a new yard, we will find a way to build it conveniently. yes."

Milan Lan took over the conversation.

The other party first mentioned my mother, and now he mentioned the yard. It was considered that the two difficulties were raised in one go.

Sure enough, it's not something that can be easily muddled through.

She was worried that Li Muyang couldn't speak, so she helped him answer.

"What do you mean, are you planning to build it in the future?"

"Yes, if you know how to build, you must build a yard, otherwise your home will be unsafe and you won't be able to live in it."

"Then we here want to ask, when will you build it? One day is one day, one month, six months and one year. If you deceive us all... we have all married, but you won't build it, let us Xiuli suffers from poverty and suffering, so what should we do?”

"Look at what you said," Milan Lan smiled half-heartedly, "Since our words have been spoken out, with red lips and white teeth, how can we not count them? Who doesn't know that we people in Lijia Village spit and nail what we say? , that will definitely happen.”

"It's hard to say, I've seen a lot. When the time comes, everyone will be with you, will you still cherish it?"

"us……"

"If it's about a house, I promise to build it within a year."

Li Muyang interrupted.

He saw that Milan Lan's tone was a little unkind.

Worry about two people competing against each other.

The sister-in-law didn't know his feelings for his wife, and maybe she was thinking that if it didn't work, she would find someone else to think about.

He had thought about building a yard before and had roughly estimated the price.

I feel that the top priority now is to develop the peach trees in Taoshan first, have a certain income, get on the right track, and then slowly build a yard.

Otherwise, once too much funds are misappropriated and there are not enough peach trees to cultivate Momoyama, there will be trouble.

But seeing that there is no house today, I'm afraid this matter will be unbearable.

He didn't know if this was a request that his mother-in-law and Zuo Meiling had discussed, but seeing that Zuo Meiling put it forward, neither his mother-in-law nor his father-in-law had any clear objection. It probably meant that they also felt that it would be more convenient and safer to have a yard.

But what he said undoubtedly shocked the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Others don't know, but they know Li Muyang's financial situation. How can he have any money to build a yard?

But in this situation, it's hard for them to say anything.

You can only make mistakes.

However, Zuo Meiling was still not satisfied with this request. She said directly: "One year is too long. We hope to complete the yard in half a year."

"This is too harsh!"

Milanlan blurted out.

She no longer looked at Zuo Meiling, but said to Sun Xinghua, "Auntie, I think this request is too difficult. When you marry your daughter, you must hope that your daughter will not have to endure hardship when she gets married. We can understand this.

However, a couple should live slowly and happily.It doesn’t mean that you have to have everything to survive in the beginning. It mainly depends on the character of both parties and whether they are motivated.

If you meet someone with bad character, or someone who is lazy and doesn’t know how to make progress, even if you have a yard at home, you won’t have to suffer the consequences for the rest of your life.The fifth child in our family has good moral character, good looks, hard work, and a good way of living.

This is no more stable than some kind of yard for your girl.Besides, if you really value the yard, then we, Lao Wu, have said that the yard will be built within a year, and those of us who are in charge will also help him, so there will definitely be no problem.

This life is originally negotiated by both parties, right? We are full of sincerity, and you must also make appropriate concessions. Marriage is a lifelong matter, and it cannot be simply delayed like this. "

"What you said, I..."

Zuo Meiling was a little anxious.

"Meiling, regarding the house, just follow what his sister-in-law said. Building a courtyard is not a simple matter. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources. Just one year. Don't rush it."

"mother……"

"Listen to your mother." Lin Guangxi suddenly interrupted.

His voice was not loud, but it was filled with an unquestionable tone.

Lin Jiazi, who had been silent all the time, pulled his wife under the table and signaled her not to talk too much.

Only then did Zuo Meiling stop her mouth.

But I felt a little aggrieved.

The whole family is this kind of honest person who cannot bear to see others in trouble.

But marrying a daughter is a simple matter. If the conditions are not raised now, everyone behind will be taken away, and it will be too late.

Also, she actually knew that Li Muyang and Lin Xiuli had an eye for each other, and there was a high probability that what happened today would work out, but she just couldn't let the man pick her up easily.

It's so easy to get, and it will definitely not be taken seriously in the future.

I don’t know how much hardship I have to endure.

Knowing people but not their hearts, who knows who these people are behind the scenes even though they may sound nice at the moment.

At first, I just thought that Lin Jiazi was an honest person, so I thought that if I came here to live slowly, I would be able to live a good life.But after so many years, life is still miserable. I don’t have anything I want, and I don’t even have a yard of my own.

Being with the family all day long is very inconvenient in many places.

This caused her to resent the yard.

Otherwise, why are you holding on to it?

Well, now I have become an unpopular person, which is really aggrieved.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she simply said, "I'll add some water."

With that said, he went out and left.

Everyone in the room knew that she must be angry, but no one named her specifically.

Milanlan took over the conversation, "Auntie, we have settled the matter of the yard. Then you and my uncle can talk about the betrothal gift. I don't know what you mean by betrothal gift here?"

"This is..."

Sun Xinghua turned to look at Lin Guangxi.

"Old man, what do you think?"

"That's pretty much it. Just give it a try, we're not the others."

"?"

Milanlan looked at Sun Xinghua puzzledly.

Sun Xinghua quickly smiled and said: "You may have heard outside that we in Xialin Village ask for a lot of bride price, right?"

Milanlan smiled, it goes without saying.

"Actually, not all of us are like this. We're not that serious, so it's just like other places."

"Then what aunt means is..."

"Just 300, what do you think of his sister-in-law?"

"This one……"

Milan Lan felt that this amount was quite normal, and he didn't know whether to continue bargaining, so he looked at Li Muyang.

Seeing Li Muyang nodding.

Then he said directly: "Okay, we are also straightforward people. Auntie said 300, so let's take 300. In addition to the bride price, we will prepare my three major items, and we will not be short of any gifts that should be given. Auntie, take a look. Anything you want to add?”

Sun Xinghua and Lin Guangxi looked at each other.

"There's nothing else, just follow the normal procedure...Boss, call Xiuli over."

"Well, mother."

Lin Jiazi went out.

Soon, Lin Xiuli walked in from the door.

She was still wearing the clothes she wore on the blind date that day, and her face was flushed with a bit of joy. As soon as Li Muyang saw it, he couldn't take his eyes away.

It was also the first time for Li Muyang and Milan Lan to meet Lin Xiuli.

After just one glance, they all secretly thought, Lao Wu has a good vision.

As soon as you look at this girl's face, she is very kind, plump and well-shaped, and she is a good candidate for a wife.

After Lin Xiuli came in, she first glanced at Li Muyang who was sitting at the door, pursed her lips and smiled, greeted everyone generously, and then sat down in Lin Jiazi's original seat.

After the couple left, they were unwilling to come in.

"Xiu ah, we just had a brief talk and felt that since the kid Muyang and you are compatible with each other, we can discuss and settle the matter."

Lin Xiuli looked at Li Muyang with a smile and nodded: "Okay, mother, I have no objection."

Lin Xiuli was elegant and generous, and she was not like other girls who would get embarrassed when seeing such scenes of marriage proposals or blind dates.

The smile on her face is not without gestures, but very calm and cheerful.

It seems that the matter in front of me is not something worthy of reservation, just like an ordinary guest who needs to be entertained.

Of course Sun Xinghua and his wife knew this gesture.

Li Muyang also knew.

But Li Mutian and Milan Lan, including the Xue family's sister-in-law, didn't know.

It was the first time for them to see such a girl.

For a moment I didn’t know whether to appreciate it or not.

"That's it. As for the bride price, we want 300 yuan, neither high nor low. What do you think?"

"Do you need to ask for my opinion on this, mother?"

Lin Xiuli asked with a smile.

"Don't you have a lot of ideas? Shouldn't I discuss it with you about important matters that are related to your life?"

"Oh, in that case..." Lin Xiuli looked at Li Muyang again, pursed her lips and smiled: "I think it's okay, I, Lin Xiuli, am worth 300 yuan no matter what."

Li Muyang kept his eyes on Lin Xiuli after she came in.

No matter how others look at him.

Not only did he like it, but he was also a little curious.

It turns out that my wife Lin Xiuli once had such a character, youthful, beautiful, and unrestrained, like a breeze, refreshing, and people can't help but be touched by it.

After the two people's timelines crossed in their previous life, she didn't seem to show much of this girlish liveliness. She was much more mature and stable, and she was seen more as a good wife and loving mother.

She doesn't know what happened in the past two years, which completely changed her whole person.

Now, seeing that this girl is so generous, he naturally can't lose his aura, or else he will be despised by her.

He took over the conversation and said sincerely: "The 300 yuan gift does not mean that Xiuli is only worth 300. It means that we don't have much money at the moment. I will make more money in the future so that Xiuli can live a prosperous life."

"puff!"

Lin Xiuli couldn't help but laugh. She recalled the last blind date and the previous several meetings. She felt that Li Muyang was quite eloquent, but why had he become so clumsy today.

It seemed that he wanted to show off his aura, but in fact, his reserve and nervousness were completely missing.

What a lovely person.

Why are there such interesting people in the countryside?

She thought that all the old farmers on this yellow land were like her father and brother, simple, kind, and hard-working. They only knew how to work hard and didn't know how to look up at the road.

It was the first time I saw such a lively, affectionate man with light in his eyes.

Especially today, he was wearing a clean white shirt and his hair was neatly arranged. If he were to wear glasses, he would look exactly like the intellectual image he imagined.

Although she actually knew that his education level was very low.

But Lin Xiuli has always believed that most of the knowledge in the world lies in life, not in boring books.

Just like when Li Muyang saw her for the first time, he said she felt familiar, like meeting her many times in a dream.

The first time she saw Li Muyang, she felt that his eyes were very single, filled only with himself.
