Huo Yunzhao Quan didn't hear Chen's roar. He opened the lid of the pot and checked to make sure that his rice was steamed. He took out the extra matches and put them in another stove mouth.

He skillfully added a ladle of water to the pot. While adding water, he said to Mrs. Chen: "Stepmother, Butcher Xu is coming to propose marriage later. Where is the bacon at home? If there is no bacon, I can only grab the bacon." The hen that doesn’t lay eggs comes to make soup for the guests.”

Mrs. Chen was shocked: "You want to kill the chicken?"

Huo Yunchao said bluntly and confidently: "As the saying goes, there is no feast without chickens. Our family's conditions are poor, and there is really no meat on the table, so I have no choice but to kill the chickens. Today, my future father-in-law came to propose marriage, and there was not a hard dish on the table. How about the food?"

Chen's heart, liver, and lungs all ached, and she was about to be blown away by the shameless Huo Yunchao!

Huo Yunchao couldn't make money, and Chen couldn't do anything about him, so she had to pass the pressure on to Huo Tianxiang: "Master, do you care about Chaoer?"

Huo Tianxiang smiled bitterly.

He wanted to take care of it, but he couldn't.

When Huo Yunchao saw Huo Tianxiang, he didn't say anything to stop him. He pressed forward and said, "Dad, butcher Xu came to our house to give us a gift of twenty taels. We don't have to kill the chicken. You give me ten cents, and I will buy two pig's trotters and stew them." One pot, add another hard dish!”

Before Huo Tianxiang could speak, Ms. Chen, who had been shaking with anger, suddenly stopped shaking. She came to Huo Yunchao, grabbed his arm tightly and asked, "Chaoer, did Butcher Xu really promise to give you a twenty-tael betrothal gift? "

Huo Yunchao pushed Chen's hand away. He was not used to having physical contact with others. Seeing Chen's eyes flashing two gold ingots, he frowned and thought about it, and replied proudly: "Xu Tu

It was promised to me personally. Stepmother, if you don't believe it, wait until Butcher Xu comes to your door, and you will know if it is true or false if you question him carefully. "

Mrs. Chen went to seek confirmation from Huo Tianxiang again, and when she saw Huo Tianxiang nodding with a dark face, she laughed like a mouse falling into a rice vat.

Thinking of the white twenty-tael betrothal gift, Mrs. Chen silently thought about how reluctant she was to let go of the child, and said with a heart: "Chao'er, why didn't you tell me clearly earlier? The bacon is in my and your father's house. Just go take it out and buy two more pig trotters!"

Huo Yunchao had been mentally prepared for it. Seeing Chen's change of attitude, he didn't say anything to her. He just told her to go back quickly.

Mrs. Chen went back to the house to get bacon, and then took ten cents to buy pig trotters at the pig butcher's house.

After Mrs. Chen left, only Huo Tianxiang and Huo Yunchao, father and son, were left in the kitchen. Huo Tianxiang hesitated several times, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.

Huo Yunchao successfully tricked the iron rooster into plucking his feathers, and he was in a good mood now, "Dad, I just discovered today that my stepmother is quite easy to talk to."

Huo Tianxiang's eyes changed again and again when he looked at his eldest son, and in the end he didn't say what he wanted to say.

Butcher Xu went home after killing the pig. Ms. Chen hurriedly hurriedly failed to catch up with Butcher Xu. She couldn't verify it in person. She didn't give up and asked the owner of Butcher Xu who killed the pig. After confirming that Butcher Xu was really planning to go to her house to discuss Huo Yunchao's marriage, he immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

Mrs. Chen happily picked up the two pig trotters and left. Before she could reach home, the news that Butcher Xu had come to the Huo family to propose marriage and that Mrs. Chen was looking forward to her stepson's marriage spread throughout Pingle Village.

Regardless of whether it is another time and space or the Chinese country of the 21st century, a man who is truly willing to be a son-in-law from his heart is really

Not many.

Especially for Huo Yunchao, a scholar who has been studying for more than ten years, it is even rarer to get married.

Although Huo Yunchao's proactive performance in getting married is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone is more willing to believe that Huo Yunchao has ulterior motives - Xu Ning is a coffin of bad luck, who is not afraid of being brought down by her?

Growing up, Xu Ning's background made her suffer discrimination. She was not even qualified to be selected.

There were many people in the village who saw Xu Ning's joke, and even more people were jealous that the Xu family's father and daughter lived better than them.

Butcher Xu can make a full meal by relying on the crops in the field, and he has the ability to kill pigs. When the owner invites Butcher Xu to kill a pig, he either gives cash or a piece of good meat. They also treat Butcher Xu to a pig-killing banquet, and return the pig to the water. Butcher Xu took it away.

There are many people who are jealous and jealous. Those people never see others living better than them. When they see you living well, they will poke your pain. Seeing that you are sad and hurt, they have a psychological balance.

Xu Ning's coffin background is Xu Butcher's biggest pain point.

In order to make money to support his family, Butcher Xu had to entrust Xu Ning to the care of Aunt Ma. Aunt Ma fulfills her duties, but she is not Xu Ning's biological mother after all, so there will always be omissions.

Xu Ning would be bullied whenever she wasn't under Ma's nose. She had no one to rely on and had to endure.

Those who bullied her felt that she was a soft persimmon that everyone could bully, and anyone who saw her would come up and pinch her.

Xu Ning was young and frail at that time, so she had no choice but to endure silently as she was helpless against those who bullied her.

Once Xu Ning was pushed down a hillside and her hand was broken. She endured the pain and did not dare to tell Aunt Ma. It was not until Xu Ning returned home that she cried and complained.

Butcher Xu was furious and held

The woodcutter went from house to house to warn him, and he chopped the door of the house that pushed Xu Ning into pieces. He chopped a good wooden door into pieces, and the noise caused a sensation in the whole village.

Li Zheng of Pingle Village was alarmed. Fortunately, Li Zheng was fair and upheld justice for Xu Butcher and Xu Ning, and severely reprimanded those who bullied Xu Ning. However, he still had to pay for the wooden door that Butcher Xu chopped into sawdust.

From then on, Butcher Xu became famous in one battle, and he was not afraid of Xu Ning being blatantly bullied when he went out, but he also offended many people in the village.

Xu Ning's life was not good, and she couldn't get married because of her bad reputation. Those people were happy to watch the joke.

When those people saw Huo Yunchao rushing to become the Xu family's son-in-law, how could they have no idea in their minds?

However, Huo Yunchao didn't care at all how outsiders talked about him and Xu Ning being unfavorable. He personally cooked a table of delicious dishes for Butcher Xu.

Six dishes and one soup, stewed pork trotters with peanuts, stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon, steamed fish, plus a few cold dishes and tofu soup, it is already very good.

Now that we have good food, what can we do without good wine?

Huo Yunchao took advantage of the cooking time to brainwash Chen again, coaxing her to contribute the thank-you gift from Butcher Xu - the pot of wine worth a hundred cash.

Butcher Xu was warmly welcomed as soon as he arrived at Huo's house. Huo Yunchao kept his attitude very low and came to the door in person to greet Butcher Xu, which gave his future father-in-law face.

Huo Tianxiang saw this with mixed emotions. If it weren't for etiquette, he would have left Xu Butu and Huo Yunchao behind and rushed out.

Butcher Xu looked at Huo Tianxiang's black face, which was as gray as the bottom of the pot. He, who was not good at words, became a dumb cannon.

Xiu sat opposite Huo Tianxiang uneasily.

Huo Yunchao leaned against the door and listened to the noise. He didn't hear any voice for a long time, so he hurried to the kitchen to call his stepmother Chen over to help rescue him.
