Farmer's Manor Fish and Rice Fragrance

Chapter 135 The Sweet Burden (1)
Qian Xi looked at Lan Ze, and for some reason, she always felt that there was a melancholy on her brows, remembering that she was sitting alone at the door in a daze just now, so she asked, "Grandma, what's going on at home recently?"

"No, it's nothing."

"By the way, Dongzan is almost fifteen, is there anyone talking about marriage?" Qianxi still cares about the dowry she received when she married her. It was a big fortune for Rongqin's family, but why didn't they improve the family a little bit? Woolen cloth?Didn't you use it to marry my brother?

Lan Ze's expression was a little unnatural, he smiled lightly, nodded, "Yes."

"Really? Which family's girl is it?" Qianxi was still a little happy.

"It's from Xinzhuang, a neighboring village."

"Really? When is the booking?"

Lan Ze lowered his eyes and shook his head sadly, "Right now, I'm not sure yet."

"What's the matter?" Qianxi was a little puzzled, "Is their family not satisfied with Dong Zan? Or do they think our family is poor?"

Lan Ze looked at Qian Xi in embarrassment, and sighed, "Originally, this matter has already been agreed upon. Your father and I dare not use any of the dowry when you got married. We will save it for Dong Zan."

Hearing this, Qianxi also sighed in her heart, sure enough, raising a daughter is to exchange for a wife.Forget it, who makes people poor? People who are poor are too ruthless, just like rich people who are too ruthless.

"The betrothal gift was originally very generous. The matchmaker and the other party agreed, but when it came time to book the date, the other party's family suddenly asked for another betrothal gift..."

"What?" Qianxi was surprised and angry when she heard that, "As much as you agreed, how can you raise the price?"

"That's right, your father and I were also surprised, but our family is poor, and finally there is a girl who is willing. I heard that the girl is good-looking and has a good character. Even if it is difficult, me and your father I also want to keep this marriage, so in the past few days, I am discussing to send the five sheep in the family."

Qianxi knew the situation at home, and the five-headed sheep had almost the same status as a passbook. "Grandma, no! The food in the field is not enough to eat, and you gave the sheep as a bride price, what will you eat in the future?" She suddenly remembered the way her grandma looked at the live fish in those few days just now, and wished she could eat them all. Think of it as a goldfish.

"Dongzan also said the same thing. He's been making trouble these days and wants to call off the marriage."

"Grandma, let's see. I brought a lot of gifts this time. Although those fish are not worth much, they are fresh. Tell the matchmaker to count them all and see if it works." Qianxi also went all out, seeing her parents in a difficult situation, she couldn't stand by and watch.

Regarding Qianxi's suggestion, although Lan Ze evaded it somewhat, seeing that his son's marriage was difficult to arrange, he acquiesced with apology.Here, although Qianxi made the proposal very enthusiastically and passionately, she still felt a little uncomfortable seeing Lanze agreeing so quickly. Some heartbroken?

In fact, she also understands the helplessness of being a daughter.Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, most families put more emphasis on sons. Even if they love their daughters, there are a few parents who are willing to spend a lot of money on their daughters. If you spend a lot of money, the sons will not agree.After many years, you will find out that all the favors you have received are empty, they are all persuaded and brainwashed, and the ones your parents really love are their sons.And in the end, you are the one who pays, and you are the one who worries, and none of the property at home belongs to you.

But no matter how clearly he knows, in this world, whoever is soft-hearted and kind-hearted will have to pay more, and in the end there is nothing he can do.For example, now, is she willing to watch her parents anxiously refuse to pay?No amount of complaints can make a big difference to the tenderness in my heart.

In the evening, all the family members came back one after another.

The two younger brothers, Dong Zan and Lang Jie Xu, heard the news from the villagers and came back early with their flock of sheep.Qianxi didn't have a deep impression of her two younger brothers. Dongzan was older and shy like a teenager. She was in a state of distress when she came here and didn't pay attention to him. Their faces are somewhat similar, delicate and delicate, tall and tall, comparable to Chiren from her family, the difference is that Chiren is flamboyant and beautiful, while Dongzan is very restrained and blush easily.

Not to mention, Lang Jie is also about the same age as Luanyi, but he has a lot of eyes and a heart, and he is very diligent around Qianxi. The little guy is lively and cute, but Qianxi is not very satisfied with his snot bubbles. , sternly warned him to pay attention to his image at such a big age.

"Lang Jie, my brother is about to marry a wife, and he will be your wife in the future. You can't lose face in front of your future wife!" Qianxi said half-seriously and half-jokingly, and felt very awkward after speaking, alas, Has she gotten used to the society of sharing wives?

Lang Jie grinned, apparently understanding the meaning of "wife".

Qian Xi noticed that Dong Zan's expression was not very good, and seeing him staring blankly outside, she walked over and asked, "Are you hungry? Eat something first."

Dong Zan shook his head, "Sister, you must be very tired after traveling all the way."

"good."

"Sister?"

"Ok?"

"Brother-in-law...how is he treating you?" Dong Zan's eyes showed concern, which made Qianxi's mentality quickly balanced. It was enough to have these words, and it was worth it.

"Very well, Rong Qin is a very good person."

Dong Zan smiled and nodded, "That's really good."

"Dong Zan?" Qianxi felt that he had something on his mind, which might be the reason for the bond of flesh and blood. "Are you still worried about the bride price?"

Dong Zan's eyes showed anxiety, "Sister, I don't want to marry anymore."

"Why? The bride price is always enough."

Dong sighed in admiration, but still shook his head, "It's not about the amount of the bride price. Her parents did this, and I'm worried about her character. When she comes to our house in the future, I don't know what kind of temperament it is."

"It's not necessarily what she meant. Parents are bastards and their children are more gentle." Qianxi persuaded him.

Dong Zan was a little anxious, "No, I just won't marry her anyway. I don't want my parents to be troubled by this matter."

Qianxi was silent, and looked at him quietly for a while, feeling something locked between his brows, "Dongzan? You...do you have something on your mind?"

Dong Zan glanced at her with a sad look in his eyes.

"Do you have a girl you like?" Qianxi suddenly enlightened from his eyes.

Dongzan looked at her strangely, and said slightly dissatisfied, "Sister, why do you still ask me?"

Qian Xi was taken aback, "What?"

Dongzan struggled for a while, then said in a low voice, "I only told my elder sister about my concerns, has my elder sister forgotten?"

Qianxi panicked, she hadn't communicated with him since she wore it, how could she know the little secret of the siblings? "This... Dong Zan, after my sister got married, there were too many things about my husband's family. I just took your business as a joke and didn't... take it to heart. Don't blame sister, tell sister quickly, Is there a girl you really like, and you really like it?"
