Chapter 32 Man Chuan and Yu Zhu's Engagement (1)

32
Because Bai Manchuan didn't sleep all night, he fell asleep after sitting for a while.

But Bo Beibei didn't dare to take it lightly, she lifted the curtain of the car and looked out from time to time, afraid of what happened last time.

Facts have proved that Bo Beibei is overthinking.

In the evening, the carriage safely stopped at the entrance of Shangyu Village, and Bai Beibei heaved a sigh of relief.

Without even thinking about it, Bai Beibei got off the pot of food from the car, and then waved goodbye to the driver.

At noon, she only ate a bowl of rice, and she didn't want to eat more vegetables, just to leave the vegetables for her mother and Mancang to try something new, and the same for her brother.

After the carriage left, Bai Beibei said to Bai Manchuan: "Brother, go and call Sister Yuzhu over for dinner."

"Okay, take your things home first."

Regardless of his elder brother's and sister-in-law's objections, Bai Yuzhu went out with Bai Manchuan. At this time, Mrs. Feng had already heated up the food.

"This is the first time I've eaten such a delicious meal when I grow up!" Bai Yuzhu smiled, but the depression in her eyes was so obvious that her smile seemed a bit far-fetched.

"Me too, me too!" Mancang continued with his mouth full of vegetables.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Feng said angrily.

Bo Beibei glanced at the empty house with a bowl in his hand, and said, "Brother, let's go to the town tomorrow to buy some tables and chairs, it's not a problem to always eat in bed like this!"

"Okay, I'll go buy it tomorrow." Bai Manchuan answered straightforwardly with money in his arms.

Bai Yuzhu looked at Bai Manchuan hesitantly, but finally said nothing, bowed her head and started to eat in silence.

After eating, Bai Yuzhu packed up the dishes and went back.

Bo Beibei considered again and again, and finally decided to tell her mother and elder brother about Yuzhu's family accepting other people's bride price, because the sooner this matter is resolved, the better.

When Feng heard that Yuzhu's family wanted 30 taels of betrothal gift, her face turned blue with anger: "Their appetite is really big. Are they going to marry their daughter or sell their daughter?"

Hearing this, Bai Manchuan was so angry that he punched hard on the bed: "It's too much!"

Seeing his mother and elder brother getting angry, Mancang shrank to the corner of the bed in fear, not daring to make a sound.

"Mother, brother, now is not the time to be angry. I want to call the village chief and the uncle and the second uncle to sister Yuzhu's house tomorrow. You give them 30 taels in front of everyone, and then have a banquet for the whole village. Treat it as your wedding banquet, so you won't be afraid of them cheating in the future."

With such a family, Bo Beibei had to guard against it.

"Yes, I still have to go to the town to ask the mayor to issue a marriage certificate!" Bai Manchuan gritted his teeth.

In his heart, Yuzhu is his future daughter-in-law. Now that someone covets his daughter-in-law, how can Bai Manchuan not be angry?What's even more damning is that Yuzhu's family even accepted other people's dowry!
"Wait," Feng called, "Where did we get 30 taels?"

"Mother, I forgot to tell you that we made 330 taels from going to the city this time." Bai Manchuan took out the silver bill and handed it to his mother.

"How much did you say?" Feng thought he had heard wrong.

"330 taels!" Although Bai Manchuan couldn't read, he often ran around town with his father, so he could still read the numbers on the bank notes.

"Three... more than 300 taels?" Feng stammered in fright, staring straight at the bank note in his hand.

God, this money is enough to spend their entire life.

Seeing her mother's precarious state, Bo Beibei stepped forward to support her worriedly: "Mom, are you alright?"

"It's okay, I'm okay!" Feng shook his head, not taking his eyes off the banknote in his hand.

Suddenly, Feng Shi squatted down and burst into tears.

"Mother~, why are you crying?" Bai Manchuan was taken aback.

Feng cried for a while, then murmured: "If you could earn this money sooner, your father wouldn't work so hard, and if he didn't work so hard, he wouldn't die! This is life, it's all life!"

After hearing what his mother said, Bai Manchuan's eyes turned red.

"Mom, everything has already happened, so don't think too much about it. We'll live a happy life. I believe Dad will be very happy when he sees it in the sky." Bai Beibei persuaded softly.

To be honest, she really doesn't know how to comfort people.

Feng wiped her tears, stood up and put the banknote back into her son's hand: "Manchuan, you send the money to Yuzhu's father tomorrow, Yuzhu is a good girl, don't let them do harm to her!"

I really don't understand how there can be such a heartless elder brother and sister-in-law who accept a bride price without even knowing who the other party is!
"Mom, I'll go to the village chief and uncle and uncle at dawn tomorrow."

The next day, when Bai Manchuan took the village chief, Bai Dinghai, and Bai Dinglang to Yuzhu's house, besides Yuzhu's family, there was also a middle-aged man in a brand new blue robe sitting in the hall.

"Village Chief, Brother Dinghai, Brother Dinglang, why are you here?" Father Yuzhu was stunned when he saw the village chief, but he quickly guessed their purpose.

"Village Chief, you came just in time, we were talking about going to find you!" Seeing the situation, Youshi also guessed their reason for coming, and opened his mouth first.

Girls and boys in the village have to report to the village head if they want to get engaged, and they can only go to the mayor to issue a marriage letter with the approval of the village head.

"Oh? What do you want me to do?" the village head asked.

There were not enough stools at home, so Bai Sanluo gave up his seat to the village chief, but Bai Dinghai, Bai Dinglang and Bai Manchuan still stood.

Seeing this, Yuzhu stood up, moved the stool to the side of Bai Dinghai, and said, "Sit down, uncle."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and stood aside, without looking at Bai Manchuan.

Bai Dinghai was not polite to Yuzhu, so he just sat down.

"Village chief, this is my distant cousin. Today he is here to propose marriage to my cousin." You Shi deliberately loudly explained the reason why the strange middle-aged man came here, in order to let Bo The boat is full of hope.

Bai Manchuan's face was full of anger, and the two fists on his side were clenched again and again. After receiving the uncle's wink, Bai Manchuan knew that he could not be impulsive.

The strange man smiled at the village head: "So it's the village head."

The village chief frowned, and looked at the strange man: "Which girl are you talking about?"

Just as the strange man was about to speak, You Shi preempted him and said, "Hey village chief, aren't you joking? My cousin came to our house, and of course he mentioned jade beads!"

"This is strange. Man Chuan said that you all agreed to marry Yuzhu to him, so why did someone else come to propose marriage?" the village chief pretended to be puzzled.

These two children grew up together, and everyone can see how good their relationship is, but it's hard to say this sentence.

The strange man's expression changed, he looked at You Shi, and asked, "What's going on?"

Although his son's mind is not very bright, he can't tolerate being teased by others!

"Cousin, don't worry, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Although this kid wanted to marry Yuzhu from our family, we didn't agree to them." Youshi said with a smile on his face.
