Chapter 10
The eldest aunt snorted heavily, her chest rising and falling with anger, she grabbed a hand full of melon seeds and started to crack them.

The old man Tang Ju glanced at the people present and made a final decision: "I don't agree with this marriage!"

Just as Tang's father was about to retort, he saw He Jiang at the door and his expression immediately changed. He didn't know how long the child had been here and how much he had heard.

"Dad, my child's mother and I are not dead yet. It's not anyone else's turn to decide Li Li's marriage!"

Tang Ju blew his beard and stared: "Am I someone else? I am your father! You have to listen to me!"

"If I really listened to you, my wife and children would not be what they are now."

Tang Yi and Tang Qi brought He Jiang in. Father Tang regained his smile and quickly asked him to sit down.

After introducing everyone present, He Jiang called them one by one.

His face was expressionless as usual, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Tang Li's family members were all very worried, and they didn't know if He Jiang would not want to get engaged if the old man and the others made a fuss.

As for the old man and the others, they couldn't hide their disgust when they looked at the people who came empty-handed.

Auntie: "Hey, this is the first time I heard that you came empty-handed to propose marriage. If you really don't have money, it would be nice to bring some wild vegetables!"

The uncle said solemnly: "Is this your attitude towards proposing marriage?"

Tang Yi stopped crying when He Jiang came in, and was looking at He Jiang and Tang Li as if they were watching a good show, as if they had already seen their impoverished days after marriage.

Tang Ju simply closed his eyes and said nothing, his attitude was too obvious.

Brother Tang and Brother Tang also looked at each other.

Is He Jiang going too far?Or is it that he really doesn’t want to get engaged?

What about the little girl?
Just when everyone was laughing and suspicious, He Jiang slowly said to Father Tang and Mother Tang: "Uncle and Auntie, I'm sorry, because the bride price is a bit too much and I can't carry it by myself, so the bride price will arrive later."

Old Tang's family was relieved, as long as they didn't cancel the engagement.

I have known for a long time that his family is poor, and it does not matter whether he has a betrothal gift or not.

Anyway, his Li Li must marry him.

No one believed what he said, and the eldest aunt was the first to laugh: "Hey, Fengda is not afraid of flashing his tongue. There are still more people than you can bring with you? We are here to watch, how much do you prepare for the bride price!"

Uncle: "Young people should be down-to-earth. What's the point of lying in front of so many people?"

Tang Yi was not far behind, "Cousin, we are a family, and we won't laugh at your partner without a bride price. If you lie now, we won't know how to help you when the time comes."

Seeing that she looked down on Tang Li, He Jiang finally had an expression.

Just when he was about to speak for her, Tang Li nodded seriously.

"My cousin is right. I was just about to ask my cousin's family for help. Everyone knows that He Jiang's family is not in good condition, so I will leave our marriage to my cousin and uncle."

The uncle's family was silent for a moment.

No one expected that Tang Li was so shameless that he actually opened his mouth to ask for their help!
The uncle glared at Tang Yi, making her unable to raise her head in embarrassment.

I hated Tang Li even more.

Tang's father, Tang's mother, and the Tang family's brothers and sister-in-law almost couldn't help but laugh.

He Jiang wanted to explain to Tang Li that he was rich, but when she looked over at him, he silently shut up.

The little girl wants to trick people, he can't hold her back.

Tang Ju slapped the table and scolded him with a straight face: "Nonsense! Your grandma is sick and has spent all the money, but you still want your uncle to arrange a wedding for you? How unfilial!"

"I don't agree with this marriage. I will find a suitable person for you to engage in tomorrow. Just wait."

After saying that, he stood up and left, completely regardless of what the Tang family thought.

He Jiang frowned and stopped in front of him.

"I respect you as Tang Li's grandfather, but today I'm here to propose marriage. Unless she doesn't want to get engaged to me, no one has the right to refuse." "Okay, okay, as expected, she doesn't know how to respect her elders without being taught by her parents. I'm leaving my words here today, if the bride price is not three hundred, don't let me let go!"

Uncle Tang was watching a show on the side. The old lady spent a lot of money on medical treatment, which basically emptied their family fortune.

Now someone is willing to pay a gift of 300 yuan to marry Tang Li. With this money, his family will be better off than before!

His son also has money to marry a wife.

I believe that his second brother would not let go of his son-in-law who could afford a 300 yuan gift, but instead want this uneducated pauper.

Mother Tang gave her daughter-in-law a look, and Hao Xiuzi immediately coaxed Mr. Tang back. Mother Tang called He Jiang and quietly left.

He took out 300 yuan from his pocket and handed it over, "Don't worry, Li Li's father and I both like you. You can use this money as a gift. You must pass this test first."

300 yuan is a huge sum of money in this era. Not many families in the city, let alone a village, can afford it.

Although He Jiang was curious about how the Tang family could be so rich, he still refused.

"Auntie, I feel relieved with your words, but I won't lie to you. My bride price will arrive soon, and I will definitely make my grandfather and uncle agree."

Tang's mother couldn't resist him, so they entered the house one after the other.

Tang Yi and Tang Qi were worried.

Not to mention Tang Li, I really want to get rid of these people who ruined her engagement!

"Have you thought about it? If you can't come up with 300 yuan, leave quickly. Don't ruin our Tang Li's reputation!"

After the uncle finished speaking, Tang Yi continued to advise: "Cousin, you have to think carefully about whether to marry a pauper who can't afford the bride price or marry a formal worker in the city. The person my father and grandfather have found for you can be the same as your brother-in-law. It’s the same!”

A formal job in the city sounds really exciting.

If Tang Li hadn't insisted on He Jiang, he might have really wanted to meet him.

But no if.

Tang Li shook his head, "Thank you uncle and cousin for your kindness. I think He Jiang is very good and we are a good match."

He Jiang was stunned. All the sounds of everyone around him were excluded by him, and he only had eyes for her.

It turns out that Tangtang also likes him?

The corners of her lips were slightly curved, and she couldn't wait to get the certificate tomorrow.

"It's nice to say it now, but once you have the ability, don't let your parents support you!" The eldest aunt rolled her eyes.

Tang's mother retorted rudely, "I can subsidize my own girl and son-in-law if I want. Is it spending your family's money?"

"You, you, you...I'm not helping you!"

"It's better to go home and help your own girl and son!"

My eldest aunt's second cousin is also planning to get married, but the bride price is not enough, so she has been putting it off.

Originally, Tang's mother didn't think this was a shameful thing, so she wouldn't point it out. Who made her so indebted?

What does it have to do with her own girl?
The eldest aunt really wanted to slam the door and leave, but her goal was not achieved and she couldn't leave yet.

After enduring it for a long time, I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I cursed: "Good intentions are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

No one paid her any attention.

"If you want to get engaged, please come up with 300 yuan first!" The old man said with a serious face and could not refuse.

"What 300 yuan? Brother Jiang, do you still need 300 yuan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Hong came in from the door, followed by a donkey cart.
