After everyone left, Tang Wenyi looked at Tang Wenli, hesitant to speak.

Tang Wenli asked in confusion: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Tang Wenyi smiled bitterly and said: "You also know my physical condition. You are supporting this family now. Thank you for your hard work."

If he marries Yan Jingning, all the family expenses may be spent on Tang Wenli's hard-earned money. Tang Wenyi feels very guilty, and he is also worried that Tang Wenli will feel uncomfortable.

After all, at Tang Wenli's age, he should have talked about his wife a long time ago.

Tang Wenli smiled and patted Tang Wenyi on the shoulder: "Brother, what are you talking about? If you hadn't been a soldier for ten years, my family might have starved to death long ago. You are the biggest hero in our family."

Tang Wenyi's eyes were a little red: "I won't mention the past."

Tang Wenli nodded: "We are brothers. Big brother, please don't talk about it. I will work hard to make money so that everyone in my family can live a good life."

If Tang Wenyi and Tang Zheng hadn't suggested that he go it alone, he wouldn't have achieved the results he did today. He was very grateful to these two people.

The next day, Tang's mother prepared the meal early. Everyone ate, cleaned up, and went to the village elder's wife's house to wait.

The village elder's wife was worried that Yan Jingning was unsafe on the road, so she asked the village chief to drive an ox cart to pick him up.

Yan Jingning felt a little embarrassed when he pulled Xiao Nan in.

She was wearing a white washed blue gown with several colorful patches on it, and her braids were meticulously combed.

She kept lowering her head after entering the door, not daring to look at Tang Wenyi.

"Girl, sit on the kang quickly!"

The village elder's wife quickly greeted them warmly, and was busy pouring tea for the big one and the little one.

Yan Jingning held the tea, lowered his head and took a few sips, still embarrassed to look up.

Tang Wenyi looked at her like this with a complicated expression.

Tang Zheng walked up to Xiao Nan with a smile and took out a handful of White Rabbit toffee from his pocket: "Eat it, it's so sweet."

Xiaonan didn't dare to answer, and tugged on Yan Jingning's sleeve uneasily. After Yan Jingning looked at it, he said, "Then thank you, aunt."

Xiaonan's eyes flashed, and she carefully took the candy from Tang Zheng's hand: "Thank you, aunt!"

Tang Zheng smiled and then approached Tang Wenyi again without saying anything more.

Tang's mother also cleared her throat nervously: "Well, Jingning, your village head aunt should have told you about my Wen Yi's conditions. Don't worry, as long as you agree to marry us, we can also help Xiaonan." Yes, he won't be hungry if he has something to eat from us.

Also, we have also discussed the issue of bride price. The normal price for a girl in the village to get married is 8,000, so we will give you 1,000. If you have any other conditions, just ask. "

When Wu Ya got married two years ago, the Wu family's price was too high. This time, Tang's mother didn't want Tang Wenyi to suffer and make him unable to hold his head high in front of Yan Jingning, so Yan Jingning would try his best to satisfy her any conditions.

"Auntie, I..."

Yan Jingning blushed and hesitated, not knowing what to say for a long time.

"This is right..."

"It seems so..."

The atmosphere in the room was awkward when two voices suddenly sounded outside. Yan Jingning's face turned pale after he saw the figures outside clearly through the blurry plastic sheet.

The village elder's wife didn't understand what was going on, so she quickly followed the village chief out to greet the people.

"Who are you, and who are you looking for?"

After the old couple went out, they saw that the two people looked a little unfamiliar, so they asked curiously.

The two people who arrived were a man and a woman, about fifty years old. They were wearing patched coarse cloth clothes. They looked like farmers at first sight.

It's just that the two people's eyes were wandering around as they looked at the village chief's house, and they were really a little uneasy.

"Our family Jing Ning has come to your house, we are her uncle and aunt!" Aunt Yan said with a grin.

The village chief and his wife looked at each other and became enthusiastic about the two of them: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. and Mrs. Jingning, please come in quickly!"

The two men agreed and then entered the door.

After Yan Jingning saw Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan, his expression was indescribably ugly: "Uncle, Auntie, why are you here?"

Aunt Yan stretched out her finger and poked Yan Jingning's forehead: "Why are we here? Tell me how you, a big girl, can talk about marriage casually with others. It's not embarrassing enough to spread the word."

Uncle Yan also said with a straight face: "Your aunt is right, our family is not empty. What you did has made you worthless."

Yan Jingning swallowed his saliva and held his clothes awkwardly without saying anything for a long time.

Mother Tang quickly spoke enthusiastically: "In-laws, please sit down on the Kang. We are discussing marriage. You are the elders and can provide Jingning with advice."

Tang Zheng looked at the sly looks on the two people's faces and knew that they were not good. It happened that she hadn't beaten anyone for a long time and her hands were itchy.

If these two people are restless, don't blame her for being rude.

The two of them got on the kang and took a sip of the tea handed to them by the village elder's wife.

Then, Aunt Yan looked around: "Where is the young man, isn't he here?"

Tang's mother looked a little embarrassed and pushed Tang Wenyi forward: "This is my eldest son. He is the one who went on a blind date with Jing Ning today..."

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Yan blurted out in surprise: "Cripple, I thought the young man was so good that I asked my family Jingning to come here!"

If the couple hadn't heard about this, Yan Jingning would have decided on the marriage privately, and the bride price wouldn't have been in their hands. That wouldn't work!

Mother Tang's expressions were not very good, and they remained silent for a long time.

Aunt Yan rolled her eyes and glanced at Yan Jingning: "You can do it even if you are a lame person. The bride price will be two thousand, and there will be five hundred for drinks."

Drinking money is a gift given by the man to the woman when she gets married to thank her parents for their upbringing.

But Yan Jingning's parents were gone long ago, so Aunt Yan naturally had a deep meaning when she said such words.

Yan Jingning couldn't help it, and finally had the courage to speak: "Madam, I don't mind his poor legs and feet, and you don't have to make the decision about my marriage. If nothing happens, just go back."

Uncle Yan glared: "Look what you are saying, you are really uneducated. I am also your father's eldest brother after all. My elder brother is like my father. Do we have to make the decision for you in your marriage?"

Yan Jingning sneered: "Making the decision? When my father was about to die of illness, I went to your house to borrow money for my father's treatment. I knelt at your house all night, and you and my aunt beat me half to death, and even said that we were no longer related to my family. Okay, you still remember this, why didn’t you say that an elder brother is like a father?

When Xiaonan and I were about to starve to death, we went to your house to borrow food. Auntie, what did you tell me? You said that my family had no food to eat. What else was I carrying? I could sell it. Do you remember? "
