Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

"Hello, my name is Chen Jinfu."

Zhao Yuefang has been waiting for a long time.

She turned around slowly, and her stunning appearance made Jin Fu's heart tremble.

Seeing the amazement in the young man's eyes, Zhao Yuefang smiled with satisfaction.

"I am Zhao Yuefang. I am seventeen this year. What about you?"

"Oh, I'm sixteen, one year younger than you."

"Haha, then do you think that I am older than you?"

Jin Fu quickly shook his head.

"I don't mind it, as long as it's not the same age as your mother."

Zhao Yuefang was speechless for a moment.

Can this fool know how to speak?

Really...

However, due to Jin Fu's outstanding appearance, he blushed and nodded to him.

"Then I don't mind you being young either."

Jin Fu knew that this was his intention.

Just when he was about to say something, Zhao Zheng coughed several times behind the two of them.

Helpless, Jin Fu had to say goodbye to the beauty.

Back in the main room, Yan Xia knew that the matter was done when she saw a smile on her eldest son's face.

The two parties agreed to get married three days later.

As for what was being discussed, it was naturally about the betrothal gifts and dowry. After setting the date, a date was chosen for the matchmaker to come to propose marriage with great fanfare. The woman’s family pretended to be reserved and declined, but the second time they came to the house, the woman’s family relented and agreed, and then there was an engagement between the two families.

That is, the modern engagement party.

After the engagement is completed, the marriage will take place.

It’s a step-by-step process, no step can be skipped.

If they get married directly without getting engaged, the girl in this family will be laughed at by the villagers.

Back home, the smile on Jin Fu's lips never dropped.

"Brother, how are you? Is your sister-in-law pretty?"

Jin Lu leaned over curiously and asked.

"Beautiful! Very beautiful!"

Jinfu answered him with a silly smile.

"mother--"

"I also want to marry a beautiful wife. She must be as beautiful as my sister-in-law."

When Yan Xia heard Jin Lu's words, she really had a candidate in mind.

Shi Xiaohe!

She looks similar to Zhao Yuefang.

In fact, according to her aesthetics.

Shi Xiaohe is better looking.

She is a healthy beauty. Her skin is neither white nor black. The wheat color shows her hard work. She is probably doing all the farm work at home, but her hands are extremely delicate. She must have taken care of them. After all, if her hands are rough, , how to embroider? Even if the veil is damaged, it won't be sold.

And Zhao Yuefang is a typical ancient woman.

She has never done any work, has slender hands, fair skin, and is soft-spoken. Fortunately, she has a generous personality, otherwise Yan Xia would not know how to get along with her eldest daughter-in-law.

"Son, do you like someone older than you?"

Jin Lu shook his head like a rattle.

"I don't want to marry a sister to take care of me. I already have a second sister. I want to find someone who is as old as me, preferably one or two years younger than me, and I can take care of him."

"Come on, no chance."

Yan Xia also wanted to introduce Shi Xiaohe to him, but seeing her youngest son's resistance, she had no choice but to give up.

This brat doesn't know how to appreciate.

What a great sibling relationship!

Time flies.

The three-day appointment came soon.

Yan Xia followed Matchmaker Xu to Zhaojiacun again.

The third time they visited, they were already familiar with the journey.

When we walked to the yard, the Zhao family was already waiting.

After being welcomed into the main room, the two families formally confronted each other.

Yan Xia is responsible for more than a dozen members of the Zhao family.

She is not afraid at all. In short, her bottom line is three taels of silver.

Before coming, she specifically asked the villagers. If the girl's conditions were worse, such as poor appearance, older age, poor family, etc., the general bride price was one tael of silver. If the girl's condition was good, the price would be two taels. Two silver coins.

There is not much more, unless you marry a girl from the town, in which case you have to add one tael of silver.

Moreover, Baihua Village just experienced a natural disaster a few years ago.

Every household is living in poverty.

She can give three taels of silver and is already the most generous family in Baihua Village.

As for why the original owner's previous betrothal gift was five taels of silver, to put it bluntly, he didn't go there to marry his daughter. When the Yan and Chen families met, the Chen family had already told them that it was just to marry Chen Shouguo a daughter-in-law. If you stay here, you will be left a widow in the future.

Therefore, anyone in the village who has a girl at home is not willing to marry.

There is no need to risk your daughter's life for those five taels of silver.

Moreover, three taels of silver is already a lot. The average family in Baihua Village only saves two taels a year, which is equivalent to spending a year and a half of the family's income to marry a wife.

Besides, getting married is not just about the bride price.

They also need to make new clothes and new bedding for each of the two newlyweds.

Even the wedding room needs to be replaced with new furniture.

One set would probably cost at least two years of the family's income.

Jin Fu doesn't want it. The house at home is newly built, and the furniture is naturally new.

Just give a bride price and make a suit of clothes for the new daughter-in-law.

The miser Yan Xia had exactly 183 taels left in her hand. She could save a whole number with three taels, which was perfect.

As for the fabrics used for her daughter-in-law's clothes, she had already bought them. The colors were similar to those of her two daughters, making them suitable for little girls to wear.

My thoughts gradually drifted away.

Suddenly, Yan Xia was pulled back by Mrs. Zhao's gold bracelet.

"Ms. Yan, did you hear clearly? My granddaughter is a very nice girl. In addition to the five taels of silver as a gift, she must be given two new clothes and a wedding dress. In addition, she must be given to me. My granddaughter wants to buy a gilt bracelet. It doesn’t have to be very good, just find a jewelry store in town and buy it. What do you think?"

Five taels of bride price?

Two new clothes and a wedding dress?

Want a gilt bracelet?

I'm a good boy, is this the landowner's daughter marrying off?

No matter how cheap the gilt bracelet is, it still costs more than three taels of silver. As for the wedding dress, I can't make it myself. I have to go to a clothing store to buy it. A set is worth two taels of silver.

Including the betrothal gifts, she would have to pay at least ten taels of silver?

Yan Xia was dumbfounded. She didn't expect the Zhao family's appetite to be so big.

Open your mouth and it will be ten liang.

Even the girls in the town don't have this kind of pomp.

But no matter how shocked she was, her expression remained unchanged.

Yan Xia calmly took a sip of the bland sugar water.

"Since Yue Fang is married, I will naturally treat her like a daughter. If my two daughters have it, she will have it too. I just bought them gilt hairpins not long ago. How about this? I will also buy it for Yue Fang. One, the clothes will be as you said, two, plus the finished wedding dress. After all, women get married once in a lifetime. I can understand your request, but the gift is a little too much. I can only give This number."

Yan Xia made a three sign with her right hand.

Then he looked at everyone with a smile.

Gilt hairpins were cheaper than bracelets, but they were not affordable for ordinary people. She had already regressed.

This set of seven taels of silver is indispensable.

But if she is willing to take a step back, will the Zhao family be willing?

Yan Xia is waiting for their reply.

The Zhao family gathered together and discussed in low voices.
