Chapter 35 Second Sister's Marriage
Looking at the backs of the old couple as they left, Jiang Youzhen sneered.
"Dad, Mom, you're just leaving like this? What about my tiles? The house his father and I live in is still leaking!"
Mrs. Luo was very dissatisfied. Why did he leave without getting the tiles?
"Go back! Don't embarrass yourself here."
The old man scolded and walked ahead, as if he was fleeing in panic.
"Grandpa, grandma, when my dad and I make money, we will definitely let you eat big steamed buns in the future."
Jiang Youzhen said something behind the three of them, and his expression was so sincere that the neighbors all said that Jiang Youzhen was filial and stood up for her.
Taking a look at the main house, Jiang Youzhen noticed a lake blue figure flashing through the half-open window of the kitchen, and he couldn't help but sneer.
My aunt likes to instigate things behind the scenes, stay away from them, and then pretend to be a good person after the fact.
As expected of someone who had worked in a wealthy family, he had learned how to manipulate people's hearts.
Thinking of the uncle he met in the town, Jiang Youzhen thought it would be better to let his aunt go back and have a love-hate relationship with his uncle. If she stayed here, trouble would arise.
"Dear uncles, aunts and sisters, thank you all for speaking up for justice today.
Actually, my fourth aunt wanted tiles because she felt sorry for my fourth uncle. After all, my fourth uncle is a scholar, how could he stand the cold? It’s also my fault. ”
Jiang Youzhen sighed as he spoke, and everyone thought, "That's right! Wasn't it Luo who instigated this?"
: "How can you be blamed for this? Your fourth aunt just can't stand your family being better off. We are all family, why bother?"
"Alas! If there is such a troublemaker in a family, the family will be in turmoil!"
Everyone was talking about it and started to attack the Luo family.
But Mr. Luo is a well-known person who is lazy, has a bad temper and is shameless.
How could she bear it when she heard people talking about her and she started arguing with the neighbors who were watching the fun?
He was so eloquent and saliva was flying everywhere, as if he was invincible in his scolding.
Jiang Youzhen didn't care about her, as long as she didn't come to disturb his family.
She deliberately dragged Luo into this. If she continued to go against her grandparents, even if the old man and the old lady were unreasonable, it would be difficult to deal with them because they were the elders and had the upper hand.
Jiang Youzhen is too calculative and will still be considered aggressive and disrespectful to his elders.
But it’s different if we single out Luo. She and Jiang Fugui and his wife are just peers, and she has always been scheming against her own family, which can arouse everyone’s sympathy.
The three sisters were in a bad mood because of what the old lady said, which diluted some of their joy of finding the treasure.
Especially the second sister, she is indeed past the age of marriage. After all, she is still a little girl, and she still cares about this matter.
Jiang Youzhen felt that if he could make his family wealthy sooner, he would definitely not have trouble finding a suitable marriage partner.
"What's going on? Why is your fourth aunt quarreling with the villagers again?"
Aunt Ya came to help Shen with cooking. Today her husband was also renovating the roof of Jiang Youzhen's house.
Shen sighed and gave a brief account of the matter.
"Has this old man and old lady been blinded by greed? They have already separated the family property, but they still won't let you go."
Aunt Ya was very angry. She had a good relationship with the Shen family and had always disliked the old man's behavior.
But the Jiang family had not split up before, so she couldn't say much. She could only give the children some food to support them.
"I just hope that when I have money in the future, I can choose another piece of land in the village to build a yard. I can't afford to offend you, but can I not hide from you?"
Shen suddenly thought of Jiang Youzhen and became worried again. Jiang Youzhen disguised as a man has always been a concern for her.
No! I must discuss this with the head of the family tonight to see how to handle this matter.
"Let's not talk about them. Guess why I came late today?" Aunt Ya suddenly came up to Shen and asked mysteriously.
Shen was a little bored. The joy of renovating the roof was ruined by the commotion caused by the old man and his gang.
"What happened?"
"Do you still remember the kid named Zhao Wei from Wangjia Village next door?"
Aunt Ya's words startled Shen, "Are you talking about the one who had no parents and was picked up by Wang Shiba?"
Most of the people in Wangjia Village have the surname Wang. They form a large clan with a large population, and their descendants have lived in Wangjia Village for generations.
Wang Shiba was a poor bachelor from the Wang family. One day, he went to Wushan to collect firewood and brought back a boy, which he raised by his side.
That boy was Zhao Wei, who had a high fever when he was picked up. Unfortunately, he didn't remember anything after being rescued, only knowing that his name was Zhao Wei.
The child was sent to the village doctor Liang for a bone scan, who finally determined that he was seven years old, otherwise we would not know how old he was.
"This kid is also pitiful. His father died three years ago, and he is now alone."
Shen sighed, and suddenly something moved in her heart.
The reason she knew about this girl was because two years ago he suddenly sent someone to the Jiang family to propose marriage, wanting to marry Erya.
At that time, the old lady thought that there was no one to work at home, so she insisted on keeping Erya for a few years and refused to agree to the marriage.
In fact, the old lady just thought that Zhao Wei was poor and could only afford a betrothal gift of 300 coins.
Logically speaking, three hundred coins are not a small amount. However, many farmers can only offer one or two hundred coins as a dowry, and some cannot even afford a hundred coins.
But the old lady was cruel and wanted to sell Arya and the others for a good price.
Jiang Youzhen had already entered the kitchen. When she heard the name Zhao Wei, she still had some impression of him.
The original owner had seen this Zhao Wei before, when he met him when he went to do odd jobs at the home of the village landlord, Mr. Wang.
Zhao Wei was a hunter who roamed the mountains every day carrying a homemade bow and arrow.
Sometimes the game they hunted would be sent to Mr. Wang’s house in exchange for money, because Mr. Wang’s mother liked to eat game.
My impression of this man is that he is tall and strong, very sturdy and has a handsome appearance.
He just has a pair of big eyes, and when he has a stern face he looks very majestic, and he can scare ten children to tears at random.
But this man had helped the original owner. That time, the original owner went down the mountain to fetch water. The original owner was young, but he carried two large buckets of water.
On the way back, I slipped and almost fell into the field with the bucket.
This man happened to pass by and not only saved the original owner, but also helped her carry water to Mr. Wang's house.
However, the original owner was timid before, and this man had a serious face, so he felt scared when he saw him, and therefore did not say anything to him.
Now when Jiang Youzhen thinks back on it, he thinks that this person had good character.
If my second sister is willing, this man can be her brother-in-law.
"Is that boy married?" Shen thought about it and couldn't help asking.
"I was just about to tell you this. Zhao Wei hasn't gotten married yet."
Speaking of this, Aunt Ya's face was full of joy.
"Back then, your old lady said that if you don't have five taels of silver as a betrothal gift, don't come and propose marriage.
He suddenly found me today and said that he had collected five taels of silver and wanted me to be his matchmaker and asked me to come to his house to propose marriage.
Shen was a little surprised, "Did he really collect five taels of silver?"
Even Jiang Youzhen was surprised. Five taels of silver was a lot of money.
Even if Zhao Wei is a hunter, he usually only hunts small game. How long will it take him to save five taels of silver?
