When the two of them arrived in the back room, Mrs. Chen said, "Otherwise, we will marry Fangfang and let her give us a few acres of the Gu family's land as a betrothal gift."
"When her son dies, we can bring our daughter back and collect another bride price."
Hu Laolai reached out and picked the green onions between his teeth, and said reluctantly: "Her land is worth at most ten taels of silver."
"When Fangfang marries her son, will we give her a bride price of twelve taels?"
"Besides, even if her son dies, Fangfang is not someone we can pick up if we want."
"Once you get married, you will be someone else's wife. If you are a widow, you have to stay in the Gu family..."
"You also want to earn double the betrothal gift, so that's a good idea."
"Don't be greedy for petty gains and suffer big losses. Our Fangfang is definitely worth twenty taels of betrothal gift."
Mrs. Chen whispered in the man's ear for a while before the two of them left the back room.
"Her aunt, get up quickly. What are you doing? No one who asks for a wife is like you. They kneel down and kowtow when they come up."
"Get up, get up, I'm sorry to see something like this happen to my family."
Mrs. Chen helped Yang up with a fake smile.
The people watching the excitement at the door whispered, they have been kneeling for a long time. If you are really pitiful, why didn't you help me in the first place?
"Her aunt, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. We are all mothers. I can understand your current mood, but I can't push my daughter into a pit of fire."
"If Fangfang were your daughter, would you be willing to let her marry a dying man?"
"But then again, I also watched my fourth child grow up. I can't bear to see my child become like this now."
"I also want to marry my daughter off, but the child's father insists that he wants a bride price of one hundred taels, so I can't treat my daughter badly."
"I have discussed this with Father Fangfang, otherwise our two families will each take a step back."
"If your family really wants to marry you, then you can give us the few acres of thin farmland you own as a betrothal gift."
"When Fangfang gets married, if the fourth son gets better, it will prove that our family is prosperous, so you have to make up for the rest of the betrothal gift."
"If Fangfang gets married and the mistress becomes ill, it will prove that the two children are not destined to be together."
"You can't force Fangfang to be a widow for my fourth son. If you meet the right person in the future, you can marry someone else."
As soon as these words came out, Yang was immediately angered by these shameless words. He was planning to use his hands empty-handed!
If Xiaosier dies, the Gu family will lose all their wealth, people, and land.
If Xiaosier survives, will he still have to pay ninety taels of bride price to the Hu family?
This is the rhythm of fooling fools!
Yang's chest rose up and down with anger, and before she could say anything, Hu Fangfang suddenly rushed out of the back room.
"I won't marry that person who is about to die. I will marry anyone who wants to."
"Forget about the one hundred taels of bride price, I won't marry even if it's one thousand taels or ten thousand taels."
**
It was covered with heavy snow and it was late at night, so it was as difficult as climbing up to the sky to collect herbs.
Lin Shuangshuang and his party returned empty-handed. As soon as they came down the mountain, they saw one of the houses packed with people.
Shouldn't these people gather around Gu's house to watch the fun at this moment?
Why are they all here?
Lin Shuangshuang glanced inside and saw Yang kneeling in front of a young woman, crying and begging for something.
"Fangfang, aunt, please save Xiao Si'er."
"If you don't save him, he will die."
"Whether he dies or not is none of my business. Only a fool would marry a dead man."
When Mrs. Yang saw that Hu Fangfang was really heartless and wanted to kill someone with her mouth, she stopped begging her and instead kowtowed to the crowd.
Asking them to marry their daughter to her son in marriage, she must love her daughter-in-law as her own daughter.
The crowd was silent. Although they all sympathized with her, no one was willing to marry their daughter off.
At this moment, Lin Shuangshuang suddenly said: "I'll marry you."
This response was like the sound of nature, but also like a dream and hallucination.
The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned around to look for the source of the sound, and finally it was fixed on Lin Shuangshuang's face.
Everyone consciously made a way for her, and Lin Shuangshuang walked over and helped Yang up from the ground.
"Is this young man crazy? How can a man marry?"
"Is there anything unusual in this world about a man marrying a man?"
"Maybe he wants to marry his sister over?"
Everyone was talking about it. Yang looked at Lin Shuangshuang and asked uncertainly: "Mr. Lin, did you just..."
"Auntie, let's go back without asking them."
Yang stood still, trying to understand the meaning of Lin Shuangshuang's words.
Perhaps Mr. Lin is really willing to marry his sister over...
"Auntie, I'm going to celebrate Brother Gu's birthday."
Lin Shuangshuang said, taking off the hat on his head, and his black hair fell down like silk.
Everyone stared at the woman dressed in men's clothing with wide eyes. Her skin was like cream, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and she was better than countless women even without any makeup.
Especially those eyes, as if they were filled with a pool of autumn water, with shimmering waves and shining stars.
Originally, in everyone's impression, Hu Fangfang was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen, but standing in front of Lin Shuangshuang, she was much inferior.
Yang looked at the tall and graceful girl in front of her, covered her mouth and cried, then grabbed Lin Shuangshuang's hand tremblingly, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Auntie, let's go back."
"Okay, go back, go back."
Yang was still holding Lin Shuangshuang's hand tightly, as if if she let go, her daughter-in-law would run away.
As soon as he reached the courtyard gate, Yang suddenly remembered something and turned back.
I saw Mrs. Yang picking up the silver and the remaining candies on the table, and took a sip at the Hu family: "Keep your daughter and sell her at a good price."
"Let me see which one is willing to pay a hundred taels to marry your good daughter who is decorated with gold."
It wasn't until the two of them walked away that the villagers watching the excitement in front of Hu's house realized what they were doing.
I saw an aunt slapping her thigh excitedly: "My dear, the old Gu family is going to be prosperous."
"Golden Phoenix is marrying into the Gu family."
The news spread throughout Hegou Village in minutes. The news that the city girl was marrying the fourth son of the Gu family seemed to be even rarer than the news that Gu Hanzhou was about to die.
Lin Shuangshuang followed Yang back to the Gu family. The Gu family were stunned when they saw Lin Shuangshuang's long hair.
"Mom, what's going on? Mr. Lin..."
Yang said: "Don't ask anything, just go and prepare things."
"What are you preparing for?"
"Prepare the things for the new daughter-in-law to bring in. Whether she begs or borrows them, she must get them."
Although the two daughters-in-law of the Gu family were curious, they did not dare to ask more questions and immediately went out to borrow something.
People watching the excitement in the village were also willing to help. Some borrowed red paper, some borrowed drinks, some borrowed melons and fruits, some borrowed wedding dresses...
"Mom, I borrowed everything."
"You all go out, I want to talk to Miss Lin alone."
The two daughters-in-law looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes. Could it be that Miss Lin was going to marry the fourth child?
