Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family
Chapter 29 Fatherly Love
There is no shortage of Lezi people in Pingle Village. Most of the Lezi people followed Butcher Xu's oxcart to Huo's house. The remaining small number took a different route and followed Lu to see the excitement of the landlord's house.
Liu Lezi followed the crowd, and he had a tense relationship with Huo Tianxiang. A few days ago, Huo Tianxiang beat him to the ground in public, and he was so angry that he was itching for teeth.
When he learned that Huo Tianxiang was asking for 20 taels of betrothal gift from Butcher Xu, Liu Lezi's first reaction was that Huo Tianxiang was crazy about money!
Liu Lezi spread the word about Huo Tianxiang's asking for a sky-high betrothal gift. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to believe that the Xu family would give him twenty taels of betrothal gift. Huo Yunchao was as thin as a hemp pole, his eyes were higher than his head, and he was selfish. As a farmer, he had never worked in the fields. How can such a useless scholar be worth twenty taels for a day's work?
Xu Ning was an unlucky woman. She was not well-liked by the villagers, and no one would dare to marry her even if they had to pay for it.
However, twenty taels of silver was enough for Butcher Xu to "buy" from Ren Yazi a strong man who could work in the fields and had no way out as his son-in-law.
Butcher Xu only had to hold on to his adopted son-in-law's contract of sale, and he didn't have to worry about his adopted son-in-law becoming ambitious or ambitious and moving his belongings out of the house.
The day after he and Butcher Xu agreed to get married, Liu Lezi ran to Huo Tianxiang to verify it face to face: "Brother Tianxiang, you just opened your mouth to ask for a 20-tael betrothal gift. Aren't you afraid that the Xu family will regret it?"
Huo Tianxiang was too lazy to talk nonsense to Liu Leizi, so he waved his fist at him and carried the processed wood home.
Huo Yunchao's marriage to the Xu family was a certainty, and Huo Tianxiang was going to personally build a wooden dowry box for Huo Yunchao.
Huo Tianxiang strongly disagrees with Huo Yunchao becoming a son-in-law to the Xu family, but he is Huo Yunchao's father after all.
The idea that the eldest son should give something is deeply embedded in his bones, so he should give the eldest son a decent "dowry".
The main reason why Huo Tianxiang was able to support Huo Yunchao in studying for so many years was his carpentry skills. If Huo Yunchao hadn't been reprimanded by the county magistrate, Huo Tianxiang wouldn't have seen a glimmer of hope, and he would have wanted to support Huo Yunchao for another three years.
Getting back to the subject, Liu Lezi couldn't wait to see Huo Tianxiang's expression of swallowing a fly alive, and followed the flow of people to the door of Huo's house following the ox cart delivering the betrothal gift.
It is human nature to love to join in the fun.
What's more, there are few major events in the village that can lead to excitement throughout the year.
Not to mention, this matchmaker from Song Dynasty who drove an ox cart from the town has a round face with a big and black matchmaker mole on her face. The naivety of Maitreya Buddha is endearing.
Seeing how talkative Matchmaker Song was, a good person asked, "How much did Butcher Xu spend on you as a matchmaker?"
Matchmaker Song smiled and replied: "One hundred coins. The important thing about marriage is to marry two surnames. If it doesn't work out in the end, I, Matchmaker Song, won't accept a penny. Your Pingle Village is not far from the town. If you want to ask me to marry you, You can go and find out about my matchmaker Song’s reputation and market situation!”
Liu Lezi shouted loudly in the crowd: "You are a matchmaker from this town. Do you know that Mrs. Xu Jia Ning is the coffin that no one wants for her? Aren't you afraid of being brought down by Lian Ke? There was a Fang from your town before. The matchmaker also came to propose marriage to the coffin son of the Xu family, but she failed and was chased by Butcher Xu with a knife! What bad luck!"
Matchmaker Song and Matchmaker Fang, who came to propose marriage to Xu Ning on behalf of the landlord's family, did not deal with each other. They were enemies.
is a big reason, and more importantly, she has a bloody feud with Matchmaker Fang!
Matchmaker Fang relied on her mouth that could turn black into white and was good at using tricks to persuade Matchmaker Song's husband and parents-in-law to send Matchmaker Song's only daughter to the fire bed.
Because she trusted her husband's family and Matchmaker Fang, Matchmaker Song personally sent her daughter to a dead end. When she saw her daughter wrapped in a straw mat, she was heartbroken and filled with hatred.
At that time, Matchmaker Song was just a poor village woman with no talent and appearance, but she could not help the tough Matchmaker Fang behind her. She suffered such a huge blow that she and her husband's family were in turmoil.
After the divorce, Matchmaker Song was completely reduced to a marginalized figure in society who could be bullied by everyone.
After going through many hardships and dangers, by chance, Matchmaker Song worked as an apprentice for an old senior for two years before entering the matchmaking industry.
When Matchmaker Song emerged in the matchmaking industry, Matchmaker Fang noticed this capable colleague, but she had long forgotten that she had killed Matchmaker Song's biological daughter.
In the eyes of Matchmaker Song, the evil-hearted Matchmaker Fang is a hundred times more terrifying than Xu Ning's coffin!
Matchmaker Song's sharp eyes fell on Liu Lezi and she responded loudly: "As the old saying goes, if you don't do anything bad, you won't be afraid of being called by ghosts. I'm here to help the Xu family's daughter recruit a son-in-law, and help her live a better life. I am not here to push her into a pit of fire. I have no intention of harming anyone, so why should I be afraid of being defeated by her? "
She didn't say a word to criticize Matchmaker Fang, but she accused Matchmaker Fang of her shameless behavior every word.
Liu Leizi was choked. He said those scary words mainly to scare Matchmaker Song away.
The sky-high betrothal gift that Huo Tianxiang demanded from the Xu family should be a big joke that everyone would laugh at!
Huo Yun
If the emperor is not good at studying and has no good character, how can he be worth twenty taels of betrothal gift?
To put it bluntly, Liu Lezi just didn't want Huo Tianxiang to live a happy life and wanted to cause trouble for him.
Before Liu Leizi could think of words to refute, someone else asked: "Matchmaker Song, do the Huo family really ask for twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift? The young master of the landlord's family is just giving a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver."
Hearing the title of "the eldest young master of a landlord's family", Matchmaker Song's eyes flashed with hatred, but her face did not show it: "Everyone has two eyes, one nose and one mouth. You have to see how valuable he is. He is as valuable as he is. No matter how low you want to treat him, he will be as low as you want. The Huo family regards their son as valuable, and Butcher Xu regards their son-in-law as valuable, so they negotiated this marriage. Invite me Matchmaker Song came to match them and create a good marriage that everyone would envy!"
She speaks neither too fast nor too slowly, and her words are very beautiful, and every word is extremely sincere and heart-warming.
Matchmaker Song's words touched Xu Tutu's heart, and it was in vain that he didn't go home for three days and looked for people everywhere before inviting Matchmaker Song.
For a short period of time, Matchmaker Song couldn't stop talking. No matter who made things difficult for her, she could always respond with reason and without falling into any disadvantage.
Huo Tianxiang sent his second son Huo Yunze out to inquire about the news. Huo Yunze had a good memory and knew how to deceive others. When he heard what he wanted to hear, he quietly sneaked home and repeated what Matchmaker Song said to Huo Tianxiang and Huo Yunchao.
Huo Yunchao only heard Xu Tuhu mention it once, but he didn't expect Song Matchmaker to be such a powerful character. While he was curious, he was deeply moved by Xu Tuhu's fatherly love for Xu Ning.
.
He couldn't help but say: "Butcher Xu really cared deeply about Ning Niang, even the matchmaker was carefully selected."
Huo Tianxiang was a little unhappy when he heard this. He felt that he was quite boring as a father. He had been supporting him for so many years, but he was actually outclassed by Butcher Xu!
"Chao'er, are you blaming my father for not doing his best?"
