Chapter 99 Finding a cure for the poor
Chen Wenkang said hello yesterday, and Gu Yunlang got up early before dawn

He had to go to the county with Chen Wenkang and the others to drive the car back.

Grandpa and grandma couldn't sleep well, and they woke up at six o'clock every day. They heated up the stove in advance, and Gu Yunlang could still wash warmly.

"My friend will let them sleep first, and I will pick them up after breakfast."

As he said that, Gu Yunlang braved the cold wind and went out. Grandma opened her mouth, but she still didn't call out to her grandson.

Grandpa seemed to know what grandma was thinking, and said with a smile, "Even if you ask, he won't tell the truth."

Grandma was a little embarrassed: "I'm also curious, such a big child, you see that Chen Wenkang is married, and he didn't make any movement. After finally bringing a girl back, I have to ask."

Grandpa took a sip of hot tea, shook his head with a smile, and then asked inscrutablely, "How did Yun Lang introduce you yesterday?"

"...A counselor? A teacher?"

"How did the kid introduce himself?"

Grandma's eyes lit up: "She said she was Yun Lang's colleague!"

Gu Yunlang never expected that the old couple had such rich imaginations. At this time, he was driving back from the county.

It was past eight o'clock, but the sky was still very gloomy.

Gu Yunlang drove a Mercedes-Benz, followed by several other cars. These are the wedding cars in charge of picking up the bride today.

They had to drive to Chen Wenkang's house first, and then drive to the woman's house together at one o'clock.

The road back to the village was not easy. The drivers of the other cars were a little worried about Gu Yunlang who was walking in the front. After all, I heard that he had just obtained his driver's license not long ago, but he did not expect that he would drive the most steadily on the return journey. , not at all like a novice.

By the time the wedding cars arrived at Chen Wenkang's door, it was past nine o'clock.

At this time, some relatives from afar had arrived.

His house was originally a one-story brick house with a long history, but it was a two-story small bungalow in front of him. It seemed that another floor was specially added as a wedding room for the wedding.

The happy characters were pasted, banners were hung, and the room was decorated very festively.

Chen Wenkang first thanked the drivers who were driving, and finally pulled Gu Yunlang aside, his face that should have been joyful had a hint of gloom

Gu Yunlang was wearing a black down jacket with a handsome face, while Chen Wenkang was wearing a suit. Standing together, Gu Yunlang looked like a junior.

"What's the matter? Why are you so sad on such a happy day?"

Chen Wenkang lit a cigarette by himself, took a deep breath, and then said slowly
"Just now there was a call over there, saying that they were not satisfied with the bride price!"

"Not satisfied? Fifty-six thousand is still not satisfied? This is almost the highest bride price in the past two years, right?"

When getting married here in Qin Province, most of the men will give a sum of money to the woman's parents as a gift, and the woman's family will also spend a sum of money to buy furniture for the new couple, which is called a dowry.

However, whether it is a bride price or a dowry, there is a limit, and basically no one exceeds [-].

"Damn it, it was all agreed, but I just changed my mouth today. I opened my mouth and closed my mouth, and I can't make it up even if I sell me!"

It wasn't that Chen Wenkang wanted to borrow money, it was just that he was so impatient that he couldn't find anyone to confide in.

"How about I give you tens of thousands?"

Chen Wenkang threw the finished cigarette on the ground, stepped on it fiercely, and then said with a wry smile: "It's not about money at all. The woman's parents were not satisfied with my family in the first place. If I didn't say five Wanliu's betrothal gift, I'm afraid there is no way."

"Even if I give out [-] yuan, they will definitely change their minds. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to get married, but I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen and my dad won't be able to accept it."

Hearing what Chen Wenkang said, Gu Yunlang couldn't make a difference.

In the final analysis, this wedding was meant to catch ducks on the shelves. Two people who had no emotional foundation got married within half a month of knowing each other. One party asked for the price, and the other party gave the money.

"Forget it, I'm just complaining a few words, and it's all over. The marriage is going to end no matter what, so I have to trouble you today."

Gu Yunlang patted him on the shoulder.
-
"Hey, this suona sounds terrible! Why don't you let me play the qin!"

Gu Xianzao covered her ears, very dissatisfied with the person who was in charge of playing wedding music!

Xie Yanran and Guo Tao took Gu Xianzao out for a while, the door of Chen's house was full of people, and everyone was waiting for the wedding car to pick up their daughter-in-law.

Guo Tao chatted with the people in the nearby village very familiarly while knocking on the melon seeds. Just after chatting, the crowd in front of him became agitated.
I can vaguely hear something like

"Repent!"

"I want a bride price..."

"Almost got into a fight..."

"I'm afraid it won't work!"

Similar words.

While everyone was wondering, the wedding car slowly appeared in the field of vision, just looking at the appearance of the wedding car, the people around subconsciously took a breath
I saw that the wedding car that had been washed brand new was now covered with mud and other sewage, and the colorful flowers on the car were torn to pieces.

The wedding car was slowly approaching, and the player in the room thought he had picked up the bride, so he played harder and harder.

The guests all around silently watched the wedding car approaching slowly. In this weird atmosphere, Chen Wenkang got off the first car with red eyes.

He bowed to the person who came, didn't say anything, and then rushed into the house without looking back.

Snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, and after a while, the ground was once again covered with hoarfrost——
By the time Gu Yunlang greeted him to return the car and return home after paying the money, it was already evening.

The Chen family was deliberately made things difficult by the woman, and the news of the failure to get married has spread throughout the village.

"Hey, I've heard rumors about the woman's family for a long time, but I didn't expect that after suffering a few times, the family is still like this, it's really not a thing!"

Gu's father stared at Gu's mother, but Gu's mother curled her lips and didn't mention it again.

Gu Yunlang also sighed.

Just as Chen Wenkang expected, the wedding car drove to the woman's house at that point, but no one was allowed to enter the door on the opposite side, saying that it was impossible to agree to the marriage without a gift of [-] yuan.

The woman is even more sarcastic, saying some vicious things
"Two old men in the family..."

"The pigsty is better than your house..."

"I owe a lot of money..."

In the end, even the woman's relatives couldn't stand it, and came to persuade them one after another, but the persuasion didn't work. In the end, Chen Wenkang got angry and started fighting with the other party. After the second division, people were beaten out, and the wedding car was also beaten to pieces.

Then, the farce ended with this outrageous ending.

"To be honest, in this life, I have never shed tears when I encountered even the most worrying things. Just now I was thinking, is it worth it?"

"Oh, when it comes to being right, it's because of money, because I'm poor, and the Internet is right, there is only one disease in the world that cannot be cured..."

"Poor disease!"

Chen Wenkang's words were still echoing in Gu Yunlang's ears, his heart was empty, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.

If you want to say how indignant and angry he is, he is actually not.

After all, it didn't happen to him.

But Chen Wenkang's sobriety in despair still made him sad.

Chen Wenkang's wedding is the epitome of this crumbling village, too many people chose to leave because of poverty.

Because of what happened to this former playmate, Gu Yunlang rarely suffered from insomnia.

Guo Tao chatted with him a lot, and in the end, it was his words that calmed Gu Yunlang down.

"Aren't what you are doing now looking for a cure for this village?"
