Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family
Chapter 23 The lion opens its mouth
Huo Yunchao saw that Huo Tianxiang's face was getting more and more ugly, and he said confidently: "After I marry into the Xu family, I will be docile and respectful, and I will be a wife and raise children. Butcher Xu and Miss Xu point to the east and I will not go to the west. Butcher Xu Why do you want to kill my well-behaved and obedient son-in-law?"
Huo Tianxiang was speechless. He was completely desperate: "If you want to marry, then marry me! I'll pretend I never gave birth to a rebellious son like you!"
Huo Yunchao subconsciously wanted to retaliate, "My mother is the one who gave birth to me." He raised his head to meet Huo Tianxiang's red eyes, and silently swallowed back the rebellious words that came to his lips.
Poor parents in the world, Huo Tianxiang has fulfilled his responsibilities of nurturing his original body.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunchao changed his previous quarrel and said soft words to Huo Tianxiang: "Dad, I have made up my mind. Please don't get angry again. Anger is very harmful to the body. After I get married, Yunze and Yunhai will It’s up to you to support me.”
It was the first time that Huo Tianxiang heard these soft words from his eldest son. He was shocked and at the same time had to recognize the reality. He had no choice but to grow up.
After accepting the cruel reality, Huo Tianxiang suddenly remembered Butcher Xu's reaction to sending a thank-you gift, and asked angrily: "When do the Xu family plan to come to propose marriage?"
Huo Yunchao mistakenly thought that he was hearing hallucinations and asked his father for confirmation: "Dad, what did you just say? Can you say it again?"
Huo Tianxiang said angrily: "Don't say good things a second time!"
After confirming that he had no auditory hallucinations, Huo Yunchao grinned happily, rushed out and hugged Huo Tianxiang, saying gratefully: "Dad, thank you!"
Huo Tianxiang was suddenly hugged by the useless eldest son. For a moment, his eyes were dull, he was at a loss, and his body was as stiff as a stone.
After a while, Huo Tianxiangcai
He found his voice and said in a tight voice: "Chao'er, I raised you for eighteen years and sent you to school for twelve years. Without a 20-tael betrothal gift, the Xu family can't even dream of picking peaches!"
"Twenty taels?"
Huo Yunchao disagreed and said: "Dad, even if you cut me into pieces, you won't be able to sell me for this price no matter how much I sell it per pound!"
Huo Tianxiang's attitude was extremely resolute and he said coldly: "The Xu family has to pay the price if they want to pick ready-made peaches! My husband, the Huo family, is very expensive. If Butcher Xu wants to recruit you, you must show your sincerity! The betrothal gift must be twenty taels." ! The King of Heaven is here, and I can’t lose a penny!”
No matter how hard Huo Yunchao tried, and almost broke his tongue, Huo Tianxiang still refused to change his words.
Huo Yunchao couldn't persuade Huo Tianxiang, and conveyed Huo Tianxiang's harsh requirements to Xu Ning, staring at Xu Ning nervously.
Xu Ning was not deterred by the sky-high price of the betrothal gift. She was mentally prepared for this: "In addition to the twenty-two taels of betrothal gift, what other requests did uncle make? For example, happy clothes and quilt, wild geese..."
Huo Yunchao didn't expect Xu Ning to say that, so he asked nervously and excitedly: "Miss Xu, do you really want to pay so much money to marry me?"
Xu Ning's eyes swept over Huo Yunchao's face, and stayed on his too clear eyes for a few seconds: "Well! My uncle has provided you with education for more than ten years. It cost you twelve taels just to study in the village school, plus Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, twenty taels of betrothal gift is not much."
Huo Yunchao was worried that the Xu family could not afford the sky-high betrothal gift, so he advised Xu Ning: "I asked people before I came here, and the betrothal gift in the village is generally only three or four taels, and five taels of silver is the most. My father asked for two taels of silver. Ten taels of silver..."
Xu Ning listens to Huo Yun
Chao said this, knowing that he did not understand the ways of the world, so he explained for Huo Tianxiang: "Huo Shulang, you have misunderstood my uncle. My uncle proposed such a high bride price for your sake, and did not want the villagers to think that you were being looked down upon by marrying into the Xu family. Huo Shulang , you are both a scholar and a bride-in-law. If the bride price my family gives you is less, it will make people look down on you and laugh at you. Speaking more seriously, Huo Shulang, you are the eldest son, if you really make such a bad start , if your two brothers’ marriages don’t go smoothly in the future, you will be blamed for the rest of your life.”
Huo Yunchao was dumbfounded.
In his previous life, Huo Yunchao was an orphan with no relatives and had never been married. He didn't understand these worldly things.
He only wanted to read books by sages and resented Huo Tianxiang's unwillingness to let him study, so Huo Yunchao really didn't know that Huo Tianxiang cared about him.
Xu Ning didn't want to make things difficult for Huo Yunchao, so he took the initiative to help him: "Huo Shulang, if you regret it, it's still too late."
When Huo Yunchao heard this, he became anxious. He lifted up his sleeves and showed his bruised arms to Xu Ning: "I don't regret it! Miss Xu, I'm just surprised... Do you see what my father did to me?"
Xu Ning hid his calloused hands behind his back, quietly took a few more glances at Huo Yunchao's fair and smooth arms, and continued to persuade: "Uncle is so angry that he doesn't know the severity of his actions. Huo Shulang, uncle is so angry because he must be afraid that you will marry him. It's been a difficult life since then. Huo Shulang, if you want to learn how to read and write, my uncle wants you to take a smoother path."
Huo Yunchao admitted his mistake frankly: "Thank you, Miss Xu, for reminding me that I misunderstood my father. But the twenty-two betrothal gifts..."
Huo Yunchao was so determined to marry into the Xu family that Xu Ning did not hesitate.
Shui said bluntly: "Huo Shulang, the betrothal gift proposed by my uncle is not a problem. I will discuss it with my father and then find a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage."
"it is good!"
Huo Yunchao was ecstatic. He stretched out his thin hand but suddenly retracted it like an electric shock. When he met Xu Ning's puzzled eyes, he scratched his head and chuckled: "Miss Xu, I'm so happy, I'm sorry. .”
He was so happy that he was giddy. He stretched out his hands to pick up his newly-baked fiancée and spin her around, feeling the gravity of the earth with her.
From that day on, Huo Yunchao looked forward to the stars and the moon. He waited and waited, but he didn't see Butcher Xu for three days.
During these three days, Lu and Xu Dadun had already agreed on Xu Ying's marriage with the landlord's family.
On the day of the recruitment, Matchmaker Fang came to Xu's house to express her hatred.
As a result, before those unpleasant words could be said, Matchmaker Fang had her head poured over by a basin of muddy water. She tripped over a stone while escaping in a hurry, and finally managed to get to Xu Ying's house.
Before Matchmaker Fang entered the door, she stepped on the bamboo fence that Butcher Xu had chopped down. Her calf was scratched and bled by a sharp piece of bamboo. She hurriedly tried to pull it off, but her finger was pricked by a sharp thorn on the bamboo fence and it was bleeding. She was in a miserable state. .
Matchmaker Fang ran to the door of Xu Ning's house to act wildly, but she didn't succeed. Instead, she was possessed by bad luck, and she got bloody bad luck!
"what--"
Matchmaker Fang yelled like crazy and created such a big fight, which quickly attracted a lot of people who were watching the excitement and didn't mind the trouble.
Everyone was eating melon and watching the show, and they were talking about it:
"This is the real world news! How dare Matchmaker Fang provoke Coffin Man?"
"
That is to say, didn’t Matchmaker Fang calculate the fate of Tiansha Lonely Star for Xu Ning? How dare she bump into him? "
"How many of the words of the matchmaker are true? Even if the eldest young master of the landlord's family did not kill his wife, he would probably kill his wife! If Ying Niang is really married, if Ying Niang's life is not tough enough, she will be like the previous two eldest young wives... "
"Hush! Stop saying a few bad words! If Mrs. Lu hears it, she will definitely say that you are jealous of her Ying Niang's good marriage!"
