Tian Lamei did not answer directly. She asked Fu Yonggen: "Uncle, how old is my eldest sister this year?"

Fu Yonggen thought about it and replied, "Well, I'm fifteen this year, so I'm still young."

"Oh, she's a big girl now, but she's not too young anymore. It's time to find her a husband." Tian Lamei covered her mouth and said with a giggle: "In our place, a girl as big as a girl is almost a mother. Like

The girl is so smart, the sooner she finds a husband, the sooner her uncle will become a grandfather, right?"

This sentence made Fu Yonggen blush with embarrassment. He was a red-faced man with a hot temper, but there is a saying that goes well: How can you not bow your head when you are under a low eaves? Fu Yonggen himself knows that he

He was someone's long-term worker and tenant, and besides, he was here to borrow food from someone else. He wanted to ask for help from someone else. How could he fall out over something a woman said? He lowered his head and said nothing.

"What did you say?" Seeing Fu Yonggen's unhappy look, Zheng Chunhe hurriedly took the words and said, "Uncle Yonggen, your nephew's wife has no other intentions. She

I mean, I should find a husband-in-law for that girl of mine as soon as possible, so that I can

If we lighten the burden on you and your aunt a little, and let your husband's family give you some more gifts, wouldn't your life be easier? If you don't mind, the four boys below will just watch and talk, so what can I give you in the future?

They build houses and marry wives? Don’t they use money for this?”

Regarding Zheng Chunhe's words, Fu Yonggen thought that they were not entirely unreasonable, but he couldn't bear to part with his daughter. Besides, he didn't know what kind of medicine the two couples bought in their gourds. He guessed that they were trying to match-match with their daughter, right?

know them

What kind of in-laws do you want to find for your daughter? The last thing a father in the world wants to mention is his daughter becoming a monk, not to mention that he has four sons and only such a precious daughter, so he excused himself by saying: "My daughter is still young, this matter will wait."

Let’s talk about it in two years.”

"Hey, you're already fifteen, and you're already sixteen after the New Year. Why are you still laughing?" Tian Lamei rolled her eyes and seemed to have guessed what Fu Yonggen was thinking. She was also afraid that Fu Yonggen wouldn't agree, so she hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Said: "Uncle, don't do this

I think, children grow up as soon as they talk, especially girls. It is not easy to meet a good family. If there is a good family, she should make a reservation for her as soon as possible, otherwise she will not have this shop after passing this village.

.Think about your uncle."

Even though Tian Lamei is a foreigner, and I heard she is a lady, she speaks in an angry tone, and sometimes you can't even hear what she is saying, and you can only get a rough idea of ​​what she is saying.

Meaning, but what she said is indeed the common sense of country people.

Fu Yonggen still lowered his head and remained silent. Tian Lamei thought that what she just said had an effect, so she continued: "Uncle, to tell you the truth, my uncle's family is very rich and his life is better than that of my father.

He is still well off and is the most famous wealthy businessman in our area. He has a second son, who is me.

My uncles and brothers are just nineteen years old this year. They are pretty good-looking, but they stutter a bit when speaking, which is not a big problem. I think my sister is quite good, and we know everything about her, so I discussed it with Chunhe.

After a while, I want to introduce my girl to my brother, but I wonder if my uncle and aunt agree with it?"

"This..." Fu Yonggen didn't know how to answer for a while. He wanted to refuse, but he was afraid of offending them, so he said, "Okay, okay, but the child is too young. Let's talk about it in two years."

Zheng Chunhe hurriedly said: "Uncle Yonggen, we can't delay this. If the man is taking advantage of the money, he must have a wife. If he falls in love with a girl from another family, won't he delay my sister? I'll give it to you.

Tell the truth, your niece-in-law and I feel that your family's conditions are not very good, and there are four young men behind you, so the husband can still help us in the future."

"Yes, yes, if we really become relatives in the future, what else can we say? My uncle's family must help us live, and it's all up to me." Tian Lamei slapped her thigh and made a seal, and she hurriedly

He asked, "How about it? If possible, I will go to my parents' house for a run."

"Well, it's not just a matter of words. I'll go back and discuss it with my family." Fu Yonggen stood up and walked out.

"Hey, uncle, why did you just leave? Aren't you here to ask for food? Let's go, I'll pack it for you." Zheng Chunhe seemed very attentive. He rolled up his sleeves and went to the granary in person.

Fu Yonggen packed the food and politely changed the word "borrow" into the word "want".

After Fu Yonggen carried the grain away, he and Tian Lamei looked at Fu Yonggen's back, with proud smiles on their lips. Tian Lamei asked, "Do you think they will agree?"

Zheng Chunhe said with a smile: "Don't worry, they don't even dare to dream of such a beautiful thing. This is a sure thing. Hum, he will come to beg us of his own accord tomorrow."

They thought this was a done deal, but three days had passed and Fu Yonggen still didn't come to reply. Tian Lamei couldn't sit still. She muttered to Zheng Chunhe, "Didn't you say this is going to happen?"

Three days

It's over, huh, we all gave my uncle a guarantee, and he just gave us a thousand yuan. If this thing can't be done, I wonder how you can explain it to my uncle? My uncle?

We can’t afford to offend anyone.”

"Don't worry, ask Jia Xing to go take a look." Zheng Chunhe shouted into the yard: "Jia Xing! Jia Xing!"

"Here we come!" Jia Xing, the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion, heard his master's call and trotted over as he agreed. He walked in and bowed and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go to Fu Yonggen's house and ask them if the marriage we discussed that day has been discussed? Will he agree? Go and come back quickly."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Jia Xing turned around and went to Fu's house. Zheng Chunhe wandered back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and Tian Lamei's eyes followed his figure. They were anxiously waiting for the news. Tian Lamei said impatiently: "

Oh, please stop wandering around, it will make me dizzy."

About half an hour later, Jia Xing finally came back. Before Jia Xing could speak, Zheng Chunhe stepped forward and asked eagerly: "How was it? What did Fu Yonggen say?"

Jia Xing shook his head with a sad face and said, "I don't think this is possible. After I went to his house, he and his wife were both at home. I told him about it, and he was scolded by his wife.

Do I deserve it?"

Tian Lamei asked anxiously: "What's going on?"

Jia Xing said: "When I first brought up this matter, Fu Yonggen disagreed. I explained the reasons to them again and again. Later, Fu Yonggen became silent. But his wife got anxious and slapped her head at me.

He cursed a lot and said: 'It's so good, so good, how about letting your daughter get married?' What do you mean by this? It's so damn irritating!"

"What's going on? What did I say? Feeding this white-eyed wolf is in vain! It's so shameless!" Tian Lamei scolded at the side.

"Pah!" Zheng Chunhe slapped the table and said, "Old Jia, if you work hard again, if he doesn't agree, take back his family's land and make him pay back all the money and grain he owes.

From now on, he won’t come to work anymore, find someone else to do it, and see what their family eats and drinks? Go quickly!”

Jia Xing got the command from his master, and came to Fu Yonggen's house in an aggressive manner. He opened the door and said, "Fu Yonggen, I'll tell you when I come back. This time my boss proposed to marry your daughter, didn't you agree? Didn't you agree to that too?"

I'm so embarrassed, your wife even called me a bastard, and my boss also

I said, you will stop farming that land tomorrow. That land will be rented to others for farming. In addition, the rent you owe will be repaid together with the money and food you borrowed from the employer. It will not be difficult to dig holes on the spot.

You guys, I’ll give you ten days to collect all the money and pay it back, otherwise don’t say you’re being ungrateful. Huh!”

No matter how bad-tempered a person is, it is always unreasonable to owe money or goods to others. When Fu Yonggen saw that Jia Xing was about to leave, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Jia, look at the situation of our family, why should we pay for it? Besides,

, if you don’t let us farm, how will our family survive? Please Mr. Jia, please talk to your boss again, can you be more accommodating?"

Jia Xing sneered and said, "Humph, there's no need to discuss this matter! Aren't you pretty capable? Then you just have to figure it out, I can't do anything about it."

Fu Yonggen said: "I didn't say I wouldn't agree to this marriage, I just think that my daughter is still young, won't she be able to do it in two years?"

"That's not possible. This matter must be done now." Jia Xing's attitude was very tough. He pointed at Fu Yonggen and said: "Old Fu, what do you want me to say about you? Let the river flow without rowing. The girl is old.

You will get married after all, one year earlier and one year later

Don’t you all have to get married? If you agree to get married now, won’t your family’s affairs be settled in the future? Otherwise, you just wait to drink from the northwest wind. If you don’t ask for money and food within ten days, then... Humph, you

Just wait to be sued and go to jail!”

Fu Yonggen's wife, Mrs. Li, suddenly came out of the back room and asked loudly: "Are you still letting people live? Isn't this forcing people to die?"

Jia Xing had tried Li's power. When he saw Li, he felt a little scared and said quickly: "No, no, you must not come after me again. If you have the ability, talk to your boss and I'll leave."

"Wait!" Just as Jia Xing was about to go out, Fu Yonggen's daughter came out of the back room. She said to Jia Xing: "Go back and tell your master, don't always make things difficult for my father and mother. I promised you this."

.”

When Jia Xing heard this, he said with a smile: "Hey, that's right, this girl is sensible."

"Daughter, you..." Ms. Li hurriedly pushed her daughter into the house and complained, "What are you doing out here? Who told you to agree?"

The daughter said with tears in her eyes: "Mom, if we don't agree to marry me, can it be okay? How can we afford to offend others? If we don't have the land to farm, how will we live in the future? My brothers are still young, they can't bear it.
