Chapter 9

Old man Song was smoking dry cigarettes and did not speak.He also guessed in advance that such a situation would happen.At the beginning, my daughter-in-law fell in love with Zhu Hui. At that time, Zhu Hui's elder brother was getting married and asked for the bride price, so Zhu Hui's family also opened their mouths and took the whole 800 yuan.At that time, he thought that there was only such a son in the family, anyway, he would give it once, and no one thought that he would get married twice.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Song's mother said: "I'll go to Zhu's house again tomorrow, their daughter ran away with someone, and the gift money has to be returned. I haven't lived a year, isn't this a fraudulent marriage? "

"Can I ask for this money?" Old man Song tapped the table with his cigarette stick, his weathered face was wrinkled.He sighed and said, "These people are all married, so the dowry will be theirs. If you ask for it again, they will have something to say. Besides, I don't want to make Jianguo look bad. If this matter gets bigger, it will affect him. Not good."

"Then this is the only way to eat this boring loss?" Song's mother was not happy, her old face was full of anger.

"If you don't eat, you have to eat. Who told us to take a fancy to this?"

"Why did I have such a hard life—" Song's mother cried again thinking of this.

Song Chunlan carried her rice bowl into the main room, saw her mother was crying, and hurriedly said: "Mom, don't cry, don't you want to talk about marrying a new wife now? If you cry, people might hear it again." Gossip."

"Yes, I can't cry." Song's mother woke up suddenly, she can't be seen as a joke anymore.She wiped her tears and looked at her man, "Old man, what are we going to do about this matter? You can't just give up a good girl for this money. I've inquired about Zhang Ning. He is a virtuous man and can do it." , at a young age, he has done a lot of work outside the home."

Old man Song sighed and said, "Sell that sewing machine at home, and make it together, let's get 1000 yuan. It's more than Zhu Hui, and it sounds nice." Now the family is really going to be wiped out.

Listening to what her man said, Song's mother knew that the matter was done.She felt sorry for the gift money for a moment, and was happy that she was going to marry a wife soon.

"Then I will write a letter to Jianguo tomorrow, asking him to come back and arrange the marriage." To avoid long nights and dreams.

Old man Song nodded, raised his eyes, and said again: "Let him type up the marriage report, and get the certificate when he comes back this time." The last time I had a problem with Zhu Hui, it was because I didn't get the certificate.

Song's mother also felt that the old man was considerate.

At night, she thought again, thinking that her son must not be so honest, she had to do something to force him.So when she asked her daughter to write a letter, she also asked her to say that she was sick, seriously ill, and that she might die.Make him come back.

Song Chunlan said with a troubled face, "Mom, can this work? It's not that you don't know my brother's temper. If he really wrote it like this, he will definitely rush home in a hurry. He will lose his temper at that time."

"Never mind, we'll talk about it when we come back anyway. I'm his mother, can he still eat me?"

Song Chunlan had no choice but to follow what her mother said.

The next day, when she went to the town to send a letter, Mother Song borrowed an ox cart and took the family's sewing machine to the town to sell it for 150 yuan. There is.

As soon as she returned to the village, she went to Li Dahong and told her about the dowry.

Li Dahong heard that it was a thousand, and he was very satisfied.She originally thought that the Song family would probably be the same, but she didn't expect to add 200 yuan, which seemed to be very concerned about this marriage.

She smiled and said: "That's fine, I'll go to my sister's house for you today, and I'll call you back after I've made sure, and see when I will officially come to the door." She then said: "When will your Jianguo come back? You can't go without seeing each other when you get married."

Song's mother hurriedly said: "I have written letters to see you, and I will be back in a few days."

"Alright then, I'll pack up and go to Zhangjiacun."
