Chapter 9

He asked who it was, but the people outside didn't answer, which made the whole family nervous, wondering if it was haunted?

After all, Meng Gui is a man and the head of the family, so he bravely got up and opened the door with his shoes.There seemed to be three visitors, but before he recognized them, he heard Sun Hong call out in a very small voice, "Uncle."

Immediately behind Sun Hong, a pair of middle-aged men and women said at the same time, "Cousin."

Meng Gui rubbed his eyes. He was awakened from a dream just now, and then he thought it was haunted. He is still not clear-headed now, "Yes... it's my cousin and her husband, and Hong'er? You guys in the middle of the night..."

"Cousin, let's go in and talk, don't wake up the others." Sun Hong's mother Meng Guihua pushed Meng Gui into the house, her husband Sun Jiashu and son Sun Hong also came in one after another.

The three of them entered the room suddenly, and Dingxiang and Zikui pulled the quilt to cover themselves tightly in fright.On the other hand, Haitang's ears were so sensitive that she could already recognize Sun Hong's voice.She hurriedly got up to light the lamp, quickly put on her clothes, then lifted the curtain, and whispered shyly: "Cousin, you are here."

"Hai... Haitang." Sun Hong took a look at Haitang under the dim light, then lowered his eyes with a blushing face.He and Haitang haven't seen each other for a long time. Usually he misses Haitang, but ever since he found out that she is pregnant, he has been conflicted. He wants to see Haitang but is also afraid of seeing Haitang. The wrong thing I did.

Taking another look at Haitang's belly, it was really swollen.

Lilac behind the curtain has a bad feeling!It was agreed that we will see each other tomorrow, but my cousin brought his parents to visit in the middle of the night, so it must be a bad thing!If it's a good thing, they can just come to propose marriage tomorrow, why bother mobilizing people in the middle of the night, isn't it because they are afraid of being known by others.

Sure enough, when Meng Gui and Mrs. He looked at Sun Hong and his parents in a daze, Sun Hong suddenly knelt down, "Cousin, cousin, it's all because of Hong'er's fault, he made a big mistake, It made Haitang... get pregnant, and I..."

"What?" Meng Gui jumped up immediately, but Meng Guihua stepped forward and covered his mouth.

"Cousin, don't bluff. It's not good for people to hear it. Even uncle and aunt, Meng Qing, Meng Xing and the others can't know. Once they know, they might leak it, and everyone will know." Meng Guihua has been Covering Meng Gui's mouth tightly, she didn't let go until she confirmed that Meng Gui was no longer bluffing.

Meng Gui was so shocked that he couldn't say anything, he had been cursing the beast that killed Haitang in his heart for the past few days, but he didn't expect it to be his relative.Should he beat Hong'er up, or what, he has no idea at all.

He's lips trembled, and he pointed at Sun Hong who was kneeling on the ground, "You... you bastard, you won't even let Haitang go..."

Sun Hongfu slammed his forehead on the ground, "Biao Aunt, Biao Uncle, I will definitely marry Haitang, I hope you don't blame me, Haitang and I have long been in love, but we have never dared to tell you. "

He Shi and Meng Gui, you look at me, I look at you, Sun Hong and Haitang have been dating long ago?He wants to marry Haitang?

After a while, Meng Gui finally came to his senses, and asked, "In this case, Hong'er, why didn't you tell us earlier, why didn't you come to propose marriage? Osmanthus fragrans, family trees, I think you all knew about this matter long ago, why didn't you wait until now? Did you come to explain today?"

"Yeah, why didn't you come earlier, you have to wait until midnight, Haitang has suffered a lot these days, do you know?" He said, tears came out.

Meng Guihua felt that her son had knelt down to admit his mistake, and said that he would marry Haitang. Meng Gui and Mrs. He continued to ask these things endlessly. After doing such things, if Hong'er hadn't told me today that I was still in the dark, wouldn't it be that I was worried that you were too anxious to come here in the middle of the night? This Haitang is really, she is a girl, so why not Knowing how to cherish oneself, Hong Er is a fool, are you also foolish?"

Meng Guihua meant to blame Haitang for not being self-respecting. When she said this, He Shi and Meng Gui blushed on the spot, as if it was really her daughter's fault.Haitang even lowered her head, feeling ashamed to see this family.

Ding Xiang was annoyed, and lifted the curtain, "Cousin, are there any bullies like you? If it wasn't for my cousin's recklessness, my sister would have suffered such a big crime? My sister has always been dignified and stable. If it wasn't for my cousin who drank too much Come on, my sister is used to him again, how could such a thing happen, why don't you comfort my sister..."

Before Ding Xiang finished speaking, Zi Kui wrapped up the quilt and jumped out of bed, shouting: "Cousin, just tell me, when will you marry my eldest sister?"

Meng Guihua ran forward and covered Zikui's mouth, "Oh, my little aunt, stop shouting, what good does it do your elder sister to be heard? Hong'er will definitely marry her, but you have to wait Two years!"

Haitang's shoulders trembled, and she looked up at her cousin.Meng Gui, He Shi and Zi Kui opened their eyes even more, thinking how could they wait for two years, Hai Tang was going to have a baby in a few months!

Ding Xiang sneered, and she understood that after all, Sun Hong still wanted to marry Agate.

In order to win sympathy, Meng Guihua let go of Zikui, sat down on the ground, wiped her tears and said, "You don't know, before that, Jiashu and I didn't know about Hong'er and Haitang at all, so we asked someone to go alone The family of the second son Shan in Jiacun took a breath. They said they were willing to betroth the agate to Hong'er. We bought a gift at noon today and planned to go to propose marriage tomorrow. How could Hong'er talk about him and Haitang after dinner? , Don’t you say that this offends the Shan family for nothing? His family has relatives in the county government office, and his son is already working in the county government office. We can’t afford to offend such a family!”

The He family and Meng Gui were terrified, and Haitang was even more terrified. What does it mean that they can't afford to offend the Shan family? Do they really want Sun Hong to marry Agate?

Meng Guihua then cried: "My family Hong'er has been smart since he was a child, and he has also studied for two years. Mr. Zhang who taught him at that time liked him so much. Whenever he saw me and Jiashu, he would always praise Hong'er. Well. The Shan family said that Hong'er can read a lot of words and can write some articles. Maybe he can ask someone to find an errand in the county government. Then our Sun family will feel proud, and Haitang will follow Hong'er in the future. Can you enjoy yourself?"

Mrs. He was dumbfounded by her words. It would be great if Haitang could follow Sun Hong to live in the county, but how could a man marry two women at the same time? "Osmanthus fragrans, you said you wanted Hong'er to marry Haitang, and you said you wanted to marry a girl from the Shan family. Could it be that one man marries two daughters?"

Meng Guihua slapped her thigh fiercely, "It would be great if we could do this, it would be the best of both worlds, but if the Shan family knew about Hong'er and Haitang, it would be strange if his family didn't make trouble, how could it be possible to help Hong'er go to the county government? So...Let Honger marry Manao first, and marry Haitang after she divorces Manao two years later, you can rest assured that Honger only has Haitang in her heart, and she will keep her promise!"

When Meng Guihua said this, she kept blinking at her man, Sun Jiashu. The silent Sun Jiashu understood what she meant, and quickly took out the white money from his sleeve pocket, saying: "This is eight taels of silver. It’s already all my family’s savings, and this money is considered an engagement gift, let Haitang marry the baby first, and after two years Hong’er has saved money to marry Haitang, we will give a big gift.”

Meng Gui and Mrs. He stared at these silver coins very hopelessly, they had never seen so much silver coins in their age, in fact, they had rarely seen even silver coins.Usually only copper coins are used, and one thousand Wen is a lot of money in their eyes, because it is very difficult for the family to save one thousand Wen throughout the year, but one thousand Wen is only worth one tael of silver.

Now looking at the [-] taels of silver, they forgot the other party's intentions for a moment, but they had to make Haitang wait for two years!
Meng Guihua and Sun Jiashu also looked at the silver, but they felt distressed for a while. This is indeed all their family property, and it is impossible to get another tael of silver.But if you are not willing to spend a lot of money, how can you settle this matter? It is said that money can turn ghosts, isn't that the truth.As for spending money to marry agate, they can only borrow it at that time.

Even Zikui stared at the silver in a daze, as if bewildered, but Ding Xiang felt sore in her heart, are the poor really short-sighted?

Ding Xiang looked at Haitang again, and found that her eyes were full of desolation.She didn't look at the money, nor did she look at Sun Hong. Just now she was full of joy and was waiting to be a bride soon, but now her dream seemed to have awakened, and Sun Hong couldn't marry her at all.

After two years, she can indeed wait, but how can she let Sun Hongxiu give up the agate to marry her?Aren't agates human beings who should be discarded if they are used?What's more, Sun Hong wants to marry Manao first, and be a husband and wife with Manao, how can her Haitang man marry other women, what else does she want to do with such a man?

Ding Xiang was afraid that her parents would agree to this matter because of the money, so she said: "Father, mother, don't be blinded and dazzled by the white money. My sister has such a big belly, how can I wait for two years? If Two years later, Sun Hong didn't keep his promise, and her sister was 19 years old and had an abortion, and there are still others, it's a lifetime thing!"

Ding Xiang's words woke up Meng Gui and He Shi, yes, eight taels of silver is tempting, but the daughter's life is more important, eight taels of silver can't buy a lifetime!

He pushed the silver to the other side of the table, "No way! Hong'er must marry Haitang. You send someone to send a letter to the Shan family tomorrow to explain the matter clearly. They won't blame you. The matchmaker didn't even propose a marriage. Even if you don't have to regret your marriage, it's not like the Shan family's daughter can't get married and has to pester Hong'er."

Sun Hong was very frightened, knelt and moved forward a few steps, kowtowed his head again, and said: "My cousin, Hong'er, I beg you and my cousin, as long as you agree to this matter, I swear that in two years I will definitely Marrying Haitang, I will definitely treat you as my own parents, take you to live in the county, and take good care of you!"

His words coaxed He Shi and Meng Gui again. Ding Xiang was in a hurry and was about to say something, but Haitang suddenly got up and said clearly, "I agree! Father, mother, you Put away the silver and wait for two years. Cousin, cousin, cousin, you go back quickly. If you drag it on, it will be dawn soon. If others know about it, it will be passed on to Shan How can my cousin marry agate?"
