Traveling through books in the 70s: The group favors the Wang family’s little koi carp

The Tang family and the Zhu family finally discussed the matter of giving away the bride price. It can be said that one party has made a move, and everyone is paying attention.

Not to mention how beautiful Mrs. Zhu is in her heart. After working hard for so long, she finally sold her granddaughter at a good price.

When I walked out, my back was straighter than before!

She has been a matchmaker for most of her life. She usually brags when she goes out and says that she is a good introduction to the daughter of this family and a good bride price for that family.

She was alone there, and no one from the wedding party came to praise her.

The main reason is that most of the people who got married through her introduction are like prostitutes. No matter how high the betrothal gift is, it's hard for anyone to show off.

Not only did Tumo Xingzi drown others, but selling a daughter was not a good thing in the end. If she told her about it and was visited by the Women's Federation to educate her, the face she had accumulated over several lifetimes would not be enough to disgrace.

Therefore, for those who were secured by Mrs. Zhu as matchmakers, Mrs. Zhu would often be the only one to go out and make nonsense after the match was made.

There are people in the village who like to inquire about things. Afterwards, no matter whether they ask about the girl's family or the boy's family, they all remain silent and don't mention anything.

So many people kept whispering behind her back that Mrs. Zhu was just a boaster, which made Mrs. Zhu feel aggrieved.

Now she can feel proud and proud. Her own granddaughter asked her to marry her so well. She can't just lie about her family's affairs, right?

For Mrs. Zhu, Shen Caoer's high marriage has simply become a living sign in her career.

I am tougher when talking to people than before. In the past, in order to show how capable I was, I could only tell people how high the bride price was for others.

But no matter how much she brags, if the right person remains silent and has no positive attitude, it will be as if she is lying, and not many people will believe her.

Now she's fine, she talks about her family's affairs, whatever she wants to say, and as much as she wants to reveal.

On the corridor, whenever Mrs. Zhu saw someone gathering and chatting, she would definitely go over and have a chat with her hands on her hips——

"Yes, my second granddaughter is going to marry in the city. I specially helped her choose a good family. Their chief section chief's salary is [-] to [-] yuan a month, so her life will definitely be good in the future!"

This is purely because she dares to brag and others will listen.

Anyway, no one in the village knows how much the factory section chief’s salary is, but it’s not like Mrs. Zhu can get whatever she wants!

Someone clicked their tongues and said, "Hey, my mother, one month's salary is as much as what we earn in a year, so isn't your second granddaughter going to marry into Fuwowo?"

The people next to me started to chime in: "Don't brag, it's more than what you earn in a year. My whole family only earns this much in a year. If you can earn so much in a year, then you are a capable person." "

Mrs. Zhu watched as the topic became more and more crooked, so she quickly pulled it back.

"Hey, didn't you marry into a wealthy family? How could the introduction I introduced be worse?"

"Let me tell you, how about I become a section chief? In fact, the marriage has been decided a long time ago. Do you know why it took so long to stretch out?"

There are those who are impatient and say angrily: "Where can we go!"

"That's right, you can tell me quickly."

No one bought the trick, so Mrs. Zhu laughed awkwardly: "It's not because of the betrothal gift. I've been here to tease you about the betrothal gift!"

Everyone was startled: "Why, they dislike your second granddaughter and are unwilling to give you a bride price?"

"What!" Old Mrs. Zhu clapped her hands as she was afraid that it would be too late for these people to guess and spread rumors.

"It's not that they don't want to give, they're afraid that we'll be unhappy if they don't give us enough!"

"It's been my old lady who's been holding me back for so long. Tell me, we're not selling our girls, so how can anyone else give them to us?"

"You have lived so long, how can you not see through it? That young man is so excited that he wants to give all the good things to his wife."

"But if the two of us get into trouble in the future, this can be used to raise the issue and let people find fault."

"No matter how poor our family is, we don't want Cao'er to be inferior to others because of this matter!"

The look in the eyes of the people next to Mrs. Zhu changed immediately!

Why didn't you realize that Mrs. Zhu was so understanding before?

After a lifetime of dealing with each other, I was shocked to realize that this old lady turned out to be such a sensible person? !

After clearing herself in front of the villagers, Mrs. Zhu continued to show off contentedly.

"As for the old bride price, I have always pushed it out. I said that we are country people, and my family does not want this when marrying a daughter."

"According to my wishes, I just hope that my second grandson-in-law will be kind to my family. As long as my family will not be wronged, my old lady will decide whether to accept the bride price or not."

"Although we are a country girl, we have never been wronged at home. We are short-handed when it comes to taking advantage of others. Don't finish taking all these old gifts. Before she marries into the Tang family, they will think that we are inferior to others."

When the people next to him heard this, they bared their teeth and sighed with emotion, and they would praise Mrs. Zhu to the heavens.

There was that young daughter-in-law who looked at Mrs. Zhu with wet eyes and one sentence written all over her face - I wish I was born in the Zhu family!

At this moment, who doesn’t envy Mrs. Zhu’s second granddaughter to have a good grandma like Mrs. Zhu who thinks about her in every possible way?

However, no one knows that Shen Cao'er, who in Mrs. Zhu's words "has never been wronged at home"...

It’s hard to even put food on the table for my parents’ family, and their life is not as good as that of the dog raised by the Wang family next door.

Mrs. Zhu: "So I'm just telling you, how else can I become the chief of the department? I don't want any gifts for life or death. When people find out why, they can tell me directly."

"Although he married Cao'er, he also saw that our old Zhu family has a good family tradition, so the two families didn't have to worry too much about getting married."

"He just wants to make a good show for his in-laws, not to mention the fact that his great section chief is getting married. We don't understand anything and push out the bride price thinking it's good for our daughter."

"But from the perspective of a family like this, that doesn't give them face!"

"If people knew about it, they might laugh at him. He said that the dignified section chief would be reluctant to pay for his wife."

As soon as these words came out, I don’t know how many people’s jaws dropped.

There seemed to be some sense in it, and he said in hindsight: "Yes, their family is different from ours. They have to save face."

"For example, if a young man in our family marries a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law's family doesn't ask for a bride price, when we tell others about it, it seems that the young man in our family is so powerful and brilliant."

"I'm not like that. What I pay attention to is lavishness. I just want others to see that my marriage is not shabby!"

Old Mrs. Zhu seemed to have found a close friend: "That's right, so I can't push it any further. Don't think about doing good to your granddaughter but causing embarrassment to others."

Listening to these words, this means you have accepted the betrothal gift.

"Aunt Zhu, how much is the betrothal gift? You should tell us so we can see how 'hot' it is."

"Yes, let us open our eyes. There is no girl in the village who is so good to marry!"

Someone was setting up a ladder, so Mrs. Zhu was naturally happy to show off.

"The bride price hasn't been delivered yet. It was said to be several hundred and there were still three ringings. I didn't ask in detail. Whether it's more or less is my grandson-in-law's wish, isn't it?"

"We don't have much to choose from. Anyway, when we hold the engagement ceremony in two days, we will come over for a drink and feel happy. Maybe the girl at home will be able to marry well in the future?"

As soon as he said this, someone could tell that something was wrong.

"What? The wedding ceremony will be held at your old Zhu's house? Will the Shen family be happy?"

His own daughter is getting married, and the banquet is held at his daughter-in-law's family. Can Shen Dahai agree?

Mrs. Zhu waved her hand: "It's okay. I wasn't the one who arranged this marriage. My daughter and son-in-law don't even know how to thank me."

"No, we have to put a banquet in our house. We say that the Shen family is Cao'er's natal family, and the Zhu family is also Cao'er's natal family. If we put a banquet in our house, the Tang family can look down upon me as a grandmother."

"This is to make my face, why do you think I have the nerve to say no?"

"At most, I will be tired when setting up the table, but in my heart...the children are filial, and I will be happy no matter how tired they are!"

She was able to save her respect, and the people around her didn't know the inside story. Those with daughters at home would be very envious of Mrs. Zhu when they heard this.

Everyone kept saying that they would definitely come to support him when the time came, even if it wasn't to feel happy, but to open their eyes and see the gifts that the chief section chief could offer.

From now on, when we visit each other from house to house, this is also a good source of conversation, isn't it?
