Reborn 1990 Get Rich

Chapter 487: This marriage will end sooner or later!

The first step in this engagement is to worship the ancestors. After worshiping the ancestors and praying, the woman greets the groom, offers tea to the elders, and then calls them parents, and then introduces the parents and family members of both parties.

The second step is to go back to the man's house, also to worship the ancestors, offer tea, get to know relatives and prepare to return gifts.

The third step is to attend the engagement banquet, exchange tokens of love, and announce the wedding date.

This marriage can be booked, and everyone in the village has participated in it, and everyone is willing to come to make arrangements, wanting to be happy.

It was almost dusk, and the whole village was decorated with lights and festoons. The road from Li's house to Liang's house was full of fireworks and firecrackers. The traces left on the ground were like paving a road of flower petals. It looks really good in the light.

The engagement banquet was prepared in a hurry, so the dishes were not very rich, but everyone had a good time eating, thinking that a good marriage had been achieved.

The happiest person was Liang Huixin. Throughout the wedding banquet, she laughed so much that her whole body was fat and trembling, enjoying the congratulations from the big guy.

Speaking of which, in order to get engaged, she also spent a lot of money.

In a short while, 3 yuan will be collected, which is not easy to collect. She is in such a state of desperation now. Those so-called good girlfriends in the past have long since disappeared. I am afraid that she will be entangled. A sister is willing to rescue her.

Mrs. Liu is not optimistic about this marriage, and insists that she has no money. As for her second sister, self-protection is a problem. The only Liang Manyun who can help her is her own in-laws. It is impossible to borrow this dowry from in-laws ?

It's even more impossible for the neighbors, she has only been here for less than a year, who would be so kind to lend her so much money?
So, in the end, she gave her gold and silver jewelry to a widower in the village.

The widower, surnamed Qian, was crippled. His deceased wife was a female worker in a textile factory. She died in an accident in the factory a few years ago, and the textile factory paid him a large sum of money.

Widower Qian used the money to open a pawn shop, and also did some loan work by the way, but the interest rate was much higher than bank loans. Generally, it was not that there was no place to raise money, and no one would go to him.

Even though he is a cripple, he is quite capable, and he can enjoy both black and white dishes, and no one dares not to pay back the money owed to him.

He knew the people in this village very well, so he didn't want to lend money to Liang Huixin at first, but Liang Huixin, relying on her sharp tongue, even took out her and her son's ID card and household registration booklet as collateral, stunned. I got the money on loan.

She is very smart, and uses her marriage with the Li family as a bargaining chip. If the new couple wants to get married, they will definitely need a household registration book. Without these documents, how can Li Weixue marry her son?

Wouldn't it be a matter of course at that time, let the Li family pay back the money and get back the household registration book and ID card?
Anyway, getting engaged in front of so many people, it's impossible for the Li family to go back on their word. If they don't want to pay the money, they will only make their daughter older, let's see who can afford it!

It was this set of rhetoric that convinced the widower.

In the end, she added the ones she pawned and sold, and collected a total of nearly 4 yuan, of which [-] yuan was used as a gift money, and the rest bought four-color gifts, three gold gifts, and some gifts, and gave out some red envelopes Go out, there is not much left.

The money she just received was spent like running water, Liang Huixin was almost heartbroken to death, but when she thought about the rewards the Li family could bring her in the future, she felt that it was worth it, not to mention who paid the money Not sure yet!

Li Weixue has only turned 17 this year, and has not yet reached the age of formal marriage, so the wedding date is set on her 20th birthday, which happens to be a good day in the Chinese calendar.

There is also a custom here in Nancheng, that is, after the wedding banquet, both men and women should tie their fingers with a red thread to show that the marriage of thousands of miles is bound by a thread.

But for some reason, the red thread broke as soon as it was tied.

The moral is not good.

The work of tying the red thread was done by a matchmaker. The matchmaker was an old woman who was nearly 60 years old. She was well-known in the village and was known as "the old man in this world".

The matchmaker shook her head immediately, and said, "This is the first time I have seen such a thing in most of my life. It is said that if the red line is broken, it means that the two people are not a good marriage. Blood mold!"

Liang Huixin's face turned pale in an instant.

The big guys also looked at each other in blank dismay, with terrified expressions on their faces.

Everyone in the village believed in these ghosts and gods, not to mention that this was a well-qualified matchmaker.

Liang Huixin became angry immediately, and pointed at the matchmaker's nose and cursed, "You damn old woman who can't spit ivory out of her dog's mouth, who are you cursing!"

The matchmaker gave her a sideways look, "Is it a curse? It will come to fruition in a short time. If you are not afraid of retribution, just book this marriage."

Liang Huixin immediately put her hands on her hips, "I don't believe this, so stop bluffing me!"

After finishing speaking, she glared at the Li family couple again, thinking that the matchmaker must have been bought to scare her on purpose, she would not be fooled!
Unexpectedly, the couple were also full of anger.

Li Hongxin said angrily, "This is my daughter's engagement banquet, don't talk nonsense here!"

Liang Manyun also made a gesture of chasing people away, "Will you be a matchmaker? If you don't, get out!"

"I'm still not happy to be your matchmaker! Don't blame me for saying such unlucky words. I have been a matchmaker hundreds of times at least. I have never seen such a stingy man. He gave 20 yuan in red envelopes. Being an old lady is a beggar! It can be seen that God can't see it, your marriage will be ruined sooner or later!"

The matchmaker spat hard, threw down the broken red rope and walked away, leaving a few people at the table whispering.

The red envelope for the matchmaker is only 20 yuan?
This is too stingy!
The red envelope given to the matchmaker was meant to be auspicious, and with such a small amount of money, it's no wonder they made it up on purpose to scare people!
Liang Huixin's face suddenly turned pale, and at the same time, her heart was beating.

For this engagement, she didn't want to empty out her family. After all, Li Weixue was so young, it was still too early to officially get married.

In terms of etiquette, everyone can see these things, so naturally they can't do anything, so they can only save money from the red envelopes, but they were actually uncovered by the dead old woman in front of their faces.

Now it seems that the matchmaker is not in the same group as the Li family. If she said such an unlucky thing, something really happened, right?

The Li family couple gave Liang Huixin a vicious look.

Liang Huixin knew she was wrong, her head was buried low, and she didn't dare to say anything.

Lin Xuhan came up to smooth things over with a smile on his face, "Whether it's auspicious or unlucky is someone else's decision, the big guy continues to eat and drink, don't think about what's there or what's not, this red line, I'll take it .”
