Chapter 256 The toad wants to eat swan meat
Shen Dongting didn't know what Shen Rong was thinking at the moment. Contrary to his usual cheerfulness, he said awkwardly in a low voice: "Sister, don't coax me. Our family bought land, and I know a little about how much money my parents have. I dare not think about the shops in the county town.
Besides, when the two sisters-in-law came into the family, our family prepared everything. Everyone in the family knew it. If I asked my parents to buy me a shop in the county in order to marry a wife, not only would the two sisters-in-law not agree, but I would also feel bad about it. "
What he didn't say was that the eldest brother and the second brother still opened a shop together, and the shop is still under the name of his sister!
If he caused unrest in the family just to marry a girl from the county town, that was not what Shen Dongting wanted to see.
"Then, do you still want to marry that girl?" Shen Rong paused, then continued: "I still have some money in my hand, so I don't need my parents..."
Shen Dongting interrupted Shen Rong before she finished speaking, "Sister, this is my marriage, how can I ask you to pay for it? Even if my brother-in-law is a little stupid, you can't really treat him as a fool. Can you still live your life?"
"It's my brother's lifelong event, so as his elder sister, I have to contribute money and effort. Why are you getting so anxious?"
Shen Rong raised her hand and patted Shen Dongting's shoulder.
This guy has been stubborn since he was young. In his previous life, he had to take care of his seriously ill parents and raise his nephews and nieces. Even though it was so difficult for him, he still often secretly went to help her with the work.
Shen Rong knew that there was a lot of work to do at her parents' home, so she asked him to go back. However, he refused to listen and always rushed to help her finish the work in the fields before leaving.
When the two were resting in the field, Shen Rong also asked her brother about the situation at home, and he just said good things.
Sometimes she would secretly go back to her parents' home to visit, but her parents would only report good news and never bad news, keeping the secret from her.
At that time, every time she went back to her parents' home, she saw her parents moving freely and she didn't think much about it.
"Sister, you are married now, have you ever seen a daughter-in-law who goes to her parents' home to get money like this every day?
We all know what kind of brother-in-law you are. When you have a child in the future, you will have to spend money to raise the child, right? For the sake of my nephew, you should save the money you have!"
Shen Rong couldn't help but pat Shen Dongting's arm again, "You stupid kid, you dare to make up stories about your sister, who am I doing this for? We are country folk, if we want to marry a city girl, we have to show her some of our family background! Otherwise, who will look at you!"
Shen Dongting had a sad face, "Sister, didn't you just say that I'm no worse than others? Why are you saying that again now?"
"How about we ask mother to go to the county and ask whether people think highly of you?" Shen Rong opened her mouth and was about to pull her brother to confess to their mother.
"Sister, sister, wait a minute, I..." Shen Dongting struggled.
Shen Rong ignored her brother's resistance and pulled Shen Dongting forward, "What are you waiting for? You are already fifteen, it's a bit late to meet now."
"Oh... Sister, I haven't figured out how to tell mom yet. What if mom says I'm a toad wanting to eat swan meat?"
The two were talking next to the bamboo forest in the backyard. Shen Rong pulled her brother's arm and walked forward while answering him.
"Oh, you are quite self-aware!
However, you don't have to belittle yourself. With the gold beans in your hand, there are many girls in the surrounding area who would marry you. You are not the toad you say you are."
The last time when they were picking golden beans in the ravine west of the village, Shen Dongting also went there, but he did not go with his mother and niece. There were too many people there at the time, and Shen Rong did not notice him.
My mother told me that he picked up about twenty golden beans that day.
The boy was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, at dawn, he urged his mother to get up and make some pancakes, which he then took to the ravine west of the village to eat.
In this way, he relied on eating bread and turned over stones in the west of the village for five or six days, and he actually turned up more than thirty golden beans.
Nearly fifty gold beans are worth nearly one or two ounces of gold.
In Dayong, one tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver, which is enough for Shen Dongting to marry a wife in the village.
However, if he wanted to marry a girl from the city, this money was not enough.
Shen Dongting muttered, "I'm just being modest, you know? But... Sister, if I tell mom that I want to marry a girl from the city, will she say that I'm daydreaming?"
The Shen family's conditions are indeed good in the village, but in the county town, they are not good enough. It's no wonder that Shen Dongting lacks confidence.
The world has always been like this. Villagers in remote villages like theirs would look down on people from the mountains across the street when they see them coming out to buy daily necessities!
Just like the villagers of Taohua Village go to the town and are looked down upon by the residents there, the people of the town go to the county town and are looked down upon by the people there.
Although not everyone is like this, city dwellers generally have a sense of superiority when facing people from small places.
The villagers from these small places would subconsciously feel ashamed when facing those city people, let alone marrying a city girl, which is something that ordinary families dare not even think about.
In her two lifetimes, Shen Rong had never heard of any city girl marrying into the village, but she had heard of several beautiful girls from well-off families marrying into the town.
Shen Rong understood her brother's thoughts, but still tried to persuade him: "Why think so much? If you want to get married, mother should be happy."
"Or, let's just forget it..." As soon as Shen Dongting said this, a pair of red and swollen eyes appeared in his mind. After a while, the eyes turned into a smiling look, but the smile seemed a little forced.
"What do you mean by that? A real man should take responsibility for his actions. This is marrying a wife. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. You don't want to regret it for the rest of your life, do you?"
Shen Rong pulled her brother out of the backyard and dragged him into her mother's room.
"Mom, I brought my younger brother here. Dong Ting has a girl he likes. I asked him to talk to you himself." Shen Rong pushed her brother out.
When Mrs. Lu heard the voice, she turned around and looked at the two of them, but her eyes were actually fixed on her youngest son.
Under Lu's gaze, Shen Dongting's face slowly turned red, then redder, until it reached behind his ears.
Shen Dongting felt guilty and uncomfortable when being looked at, "Mom... I didn't mean to not tell you..."
"Tell me, what happened?" Mrs. Lu put down the needlework in her hands.
Shen Rong pulled her brother to find a chair to sit down, and Shen Dongting repeated what he had told his sister.
After listening to this, Mrs. Lu raised her eyelids and said, "You mean, you are the one who is too eager to do the job and the girl knows nothing, right?"
Shen Dongting said as a matter of course: "Ah, what else?" He seemed to have thought of something, his face changed drastically, "Mom, you don't think that I have anything with that girl, do you? Wouldn't that be a private transaction?"
Shen Rong couldn't bear to look at her brother's stupid appearance.
How come she didn't expect that her brother was still an "old-fashioned" person?
Mrs. Lu laughed angrily, "If the family conditions of the two families, the experiences of the two people, and the living habits are similar, and we come to propose marriage, relying only on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, then it's nothing.
But the girl is from the city. If we don't ask her what she thinks and her family's attitude in advance and just go to her house rashly, it would be good enough if they don't kick you out.
Besides, we are from the countryside, so aren't we asking for trouble?"
"Ah? Mother, is there nothing you can do?" Shen Dongting felt a little disappointed, but also had a feeling that it was as expected.
