Chapter 84

After Deng breathed a sigh of relief, she asked in a very puzzled manner, "It's just, why did she suddenly want to find a wife for Xiaodou?"

Liu Gui didn't understand, he shook his head and replied, "Maybe it's for the sake of the villagers, and Xiaodou has also gotten close to them recently."

Speaking of this, Liu Gui suddenly discovered that since Xiaodou and Nan Xing got closer, many things in their family seemed to be developing in a good direction.

First, they ate big meat buns, then their game got a good place to go, then they received the job of smashing apricot pits, and now Xiaodou's wedding...

Thinking, thinking, Liu Gui's eyeballs were rolling in the dark night, could the money hidden in Liu Xiaodou's pillow be earned by Nan Xing?
……

Liu Gui's heart was so hot that he kept his eyes open until the middle of the night without knowing it.

Through the window, he glanced at the night sky outside, the moon and stars shining brightly in the darkness.

He took a deep breath. He was too tired from working during the day, so he quickly put away his flying thoughts, lay down straight, and began to fall asleep deeply.

The next day, Liu Gui and Deng got up with dark circles under their eyes, took a few mouthfuls of breakfast, filled a bag full of beans and a basket full of eggs, and brought Liu Xiaodou, Liu Xiaoshan and Liu Xiaoli Xing hurried to Nan Xing's house.

Liu Xiaodou was a little nervous: "How does my spirit look like today?"

"Is there anything different from usual?" Liu Xiaoshan was taken aback, then turned to Liu Xiaoli and asked.

Liu Xiaoli looked at it carefully, then pursed her lips and smiled, "It's the same, but brother, you're sweating..."

"Is there? Where? Where..." Liu Xiaodou's heart tightened suddenly, his face blushed, and he rubbed his hands tremblingly.

Liu Xiaoli wanted to continue teasing him, but found that Nan Xing was already standing at the door to greet them.

The two families are very close, in the same village, and they arrived before they finished talking.

At this moment, Nan Xing and his family were blocked by many people, they all came to see Jiang Yanhua after hearing that Jiang Yanhua had regained her beauty.

"Uncle Gui, why are you so polite?" Nan Xing laughed.

"Where, where, they are all worthless things, just don't make fun of them." Liu Gui smiled embarrassingly.

It's a pity that they couldn't hunt game, otherwise they wouldn't have made them look so shabby this time.

However, this is the only thing their family can offer at the moment.

"What's the matter, come in and sit down." Luo Yunfei also came out and smiled.

Liu Gui and Mrs. Deng followed them into the room and sat down a little nervously. When they saw that Jiang Yanhua's beautiful face had recovered, they were very surprised in their hearts, and couldn't help but look a few more times after being surprised.

As for Liu Xiaodou and the others, Qiu Ju and Chun Mei pulled them over to help in the kitchen, which was ordered by Nan Xing in advance.

The lunch was served by Wang Yuxian, and she arranged for old man Wang to come into the house to discuss the marriage with them.

Old man Wang had only been in Xiaozhai Village for a short time, and he rarely went out. Liu Gui and Mrs. Deng usually left early and returned late, so this was the first time they met.

They were all nervous, and they didn't know much about each other, and they didn't know where to start talking for a while.

Seeing this, Nan Xing directly took out the engagement letter signed yesterday, pointed to it and said, "Uncle Gui, Xiaodou and Yuxian are in love with each other, and Uncle Wang has already agreed to this marriage. However, the incident happened suddenly yesterday, and it was too late Discuss with you in detail, and I called you here today just to ask your opinions."

Hearing this, Liu Gui couldn't help laughing, there were his fingerprints on it, how could he disagree?
However, if Liu Xiaodou could marry Wang Yuxian, he would laugh out loud in his dreams.

He was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was a little sad. He covered his heart and sighed: "We are both very happy about this marriage. If we can marry such a virtuous daughter-in-law, our family's ancestral grave will be smoked, of course. It's a wish. But I also heard that you spent a whole ten taels of silver when you redeemed Yuxian. You are also very clear about our family's conditions. Our family can't make up so much in a short time Silver..."

Mrs. Deng was also thinking in her heart, if their family had so much money, they would have helped Liu Xiaodou get his wife back a long time ago.

After signing the engagement letter yesterday, Old Man Wang also asked Qiu Ju and Chun Mei about their family's situation in private.

At that time, he was heartbroken when he heard that their family was too poor, and his granddaughter would definitely suffer a lot when she married.

But he changed his mind, his granddaughter is from a lowly family now, as long as Liu Xiaodou's character is not bad, he can treat his granddaughter well in the future, that's about it.

What's more, this marriage was arranged by Nan Xing himself, and he will be able to take care of the young couple more or less in the future. Thinking about it this way, his heart is settled a lot.

But now, when Old Man Wang heard what Liu Gui said, he still couldn't help sighing secretly, and his brows were also wrinkled.

Regarding this matter, Nan Xing also discussed with Luo Yunfei and the others for a long time last night, and agreed that the money should not be less.

They don't mind being nice, but they can't always be nice.

As the saying goes, fight against Mi En, promote Mi Qiu.

This degree must be grasped well.

So, Nan Xing smiled slightly: "What's so difficult?"

The corner of Liu Gui's mouth trembled, he might not be able to earn that much money after hunting for three years, let alone save it.

Only by selling half of the family's three acres of fertile land can they make it up, but if they sell the fertile land, then they will not be able to live in the future.

Of course, Nan Xing wasn't that cruel, so he wouldn't ask them to do this, otherwise it would hurt Wang Yuxian, and Old Man Wang would blame her in his heart.

So she laughed again: "Uncle Gui, I bought Yuxian back from the Song family with a full ten taels of silver. You see, our family still owes Li Dabin's family a hundred taels of silver, so if she wants to redeem herself , this money must be quite a bit. Otherwise, our family will not be able to live."

Regarding the brocade box that He Rudi gave her and the IOUs and cut-off books contained in it, Nan Xing does not want others to know for the time being.

Therefore, both Luo Yunfei and the others, as well as the entire Xiaozhai Village, thought that their family was still in huge debts.

When she said this, Old Man Wang, Liu Gui and Mrs. Deng could only hold their heads in deafness, not daring to speak out.

Then, Nan Xing smiled at them again: "Of course, the three ladies and I are not unreasonable people, and we also know your family's difficulties. In addition, according to the customs of our Gongzhen, it is generally not unreasonable to marry a young daughter-in-law." It’s just three or five taels of silver. So, I won’t make things difficult for you. Uncle Gui, your family will pay five taels of silver as a dowry gift, and the remaining five taels of silver will be repaid by Uncle Wang who continues to be the cook in our house.”

"Of course, I know that your family can't even come up with five taels of silver now. However, since you are marrying Xiaodou a wife, let him work hard to repay it by helping our family. Look, how about this?" Nan Xing blinked. Looking at them without blinking, this is the biggest concession their family can give.

Hearing this, Liu Gui and Deng Shi looked astonished and looked at her in puzzlement.

Liu Gui tentatively asked, "Working?"
