Chapter 40
Mrs. Huang first glanced at Sini, saw that Sini bowed her head and said nothing, then she looked at Yang Liu and said with a smile: "It's good to stay, that kid is here, and Liu'er can stay at home for a while."

After a slight pause, she patted Yang Liu's head lovingly and said, "I haven't seen me, Liu'er, for a while. This year was still the first month of the year when Liu'er came back, but it took less than half an hour. Then I left without having time to have a good conversation with my grandma."

Yang Liu had never been so close to anyone in her previous life. In this life, she was treated so well by her relatives. She felt warm in her heart, snuggled into Huang's arms, and smiled sweetly: "Grandma, I can accompany you this time, mother and over there." Auntie agreed, she said that she will not go back until the eldest brother is engaged."

Speaking of this big brother, Yang Liu felt a little puzzled. She remembered that when she was in the Bai family, Chrysanthemum and Hehua both said that she was the eldest daughter of the family. Why did a big brother suddenly appear? Could it be that the eldest daughter they mentioned refers to The eldest daughter in the family, not the eldest in the family, did she misunderstand?
Yang Liu thought about it, and asked tentatively: "By the way, grandma, which family's daughter is the one who is engaged to the elder brother? Why is the elder brother not at home today?"

After hearing Yang Liu's words, Huang's complexion changed slightly, he hesitated for a while, and then sighed: "Hey, let's not talk about the elder brother's engagement, it's annoying to talk about, this is not our old Yang's family, What kind of reason does it make for having a marriage and wanting to take away all the wealth that our old Yang family has saved for so many years."

When Mrs. Cao heard the words, she also sighed softly, and then persuaded Mrs. Huang with a rather helpless expression: "Mother, you can't say that. Since he was adopted into our family a few years ago, he is our son. This marriage should also be done." Let us handle it."

"Otherwise, our family will be poked in the back by people in the village, saying that when we want a son, we beg for it, and when we have a son in our family, when it comes time to pay, they want to push him out."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Huang didn't say anything. After a while, she nodded her head slightly and said: "That's right, I didn't say I won't do it for him. It's because the marriage he made cost too much. If we really want to follow his daughter-in-law Yingzi's family's request, our family will have no money left, and the day of bringing Liu'er back will have to be delayed again and again?"

When Mrs. Cao heard Huang's mention of Yangliu's matter, she reached out and touched Yangliu's head, and after thinking for a while, she answered: "This matter is just what Yingzi said, and it hasn't been finalized yet. Some discuss it, wait until my child's father and I go over there to have a look, if it really doesn't work, let's see if it's possible to find another girl."

As soon as Cao's words fell, Sini on the side suddenly hammered down the table, and shouted excitedly: "Yes, sister-in-law, I think our family should find another girl, but I really don't believe it. Our family is rich. If you can't get a wife back, you still have to marry that Yingzi."

Mrs. Cao and the others were taken aback by Sini's thumping on the table. Mrs. Cao cast an annoyed glance at her, and then said with a look of embarrassment: "Hey, that's what I'm just saying. If it's really that simple, we Why should the family be so embarrassing? Yingzi is the daughter-in-law who was appointed when she was at your cousin's house. Your cousin's sister-in-law has come to our house every day these days to praise how good the girl is. Can't you see her? What do you think?"

Yang Liu listened to the words of Cao and the others, and roughly summed up the things about his elder brother.

I think the circumstances of my own mother Cao and Jiang's are somewhat similar, they both had daughters in the first few births, but Jiang was luckier and chased after a son in the third child.

My mother gave birth to three daughters in a row. Seeing that Mrs. Cao was getting older, the family must be anxious, so they adopted a son from some uncle's family, and this son was his eldest brother.

Although he was adopted, since he came to the family, he is no different from his own son. Now that he has reached the age of getting engaged, the Yang family will naturally make arrangements for him.

But this girl's family has too many demands on her side, and the Yang family's family situation can't bear such things, and they want to reject this marriage, but the daughter-in-law was arranged for him by his biological parents since he was a child. There is naturally a contradiction in this.

Thinking about it, Yang Liu asked aloud: "Mother, what does the girl want over there? Can't we get it at home? What does she want more than ordinary people?"

Mrs. Cao didn't reply, but Sini took Yang Liu and crackled and said, "Liu'er, you don't know about this. Compared with ordinary people, it's too much."

"Most people in our village make a kiss at most for a banquet. The man pulls some good fabrics for the woman to make clothes, and even better ones add a piece of jewelry, but the girl's family offered five taels of silver as a gift, a complete set Silver jewelry, and the fabrics to be pulled must be the best in the town, if you do a rough calculation, it will definitely not be neat if you don’t have more than a dozen taels of silver.”

"Our family has been busy all these years, saving food and expenses but only saving about twenty taels of silver. She took out half of it at once. How can there be such a saying."

Seeing her sister-in-law talking fast and anxiously, Yang Liu guessed that her mouth was dry after talking so much, so she hurriedly poured her a glass of water from the kettle on the small table in the courtyard.

Sini took the water and gave Yang Liu a look of approval, thinking that finally someone could understand her needs.

Si Nizi finished drinking the water with a "gudu gudu" and then said: "And when I watched Yingzi's parents say these things, I seemed to feel a little sorry for us, and they didn't dare to speak, but that aunt said it over and over again. Let's talk about it, let's give more now, and when the girl is married, we can get more dowry, I think she is afraid that our family will treat her son badly, and wants to empty our family at once."

"She didn't think about it carefully. After all these years in our family, how can our family lose him, and what our family has he doesn't have."

He has been in our family for several years, and our family has never done anything wrong to him. Even if the family has big and small melons, we have not treated him badly, but how did he treat our family? "

"He knew that the family didn't have much money, but he didn't stop his parents and Na Yingzi's family from asking for such things. In my opinion, he might be secretly reporting to someone how much money our family has. Money, those people dare to open such a big mouth."

"According to what I said, let's just do nothing and keep going. We don't care about anything. I said it's a big deal to let him go back to Aunt Tang's house. There is no shortage of him as a son in our family."

Sini said the last sentence, Huang raised her hand and hit her, then looked around, and finally shouted in a low voice: "Sini, why do you talk so much, and you speak so loudly, what are you talking about?" If people with good deeds hear it, they will chew their tongues again."

Sini curled her lips in displeasure: "Then what do you say about this matter? If you are also with them and ask for these things in a daze, then is this marriage still settled?"

Although Si Ni's guess is a bit exaggerated, but it is not sure that this is the case, otherwise how would the daughter-in-law's family dare to open such a big mouth?
Thinking of this possibility, Huang Shi and Cao Shi looked at each other and sighed slightly, not knowing what to do about it.

Yang Liu has now fully understood the ins and outs of this matter, and only then did she know what the legendary Baozi's character is like.

This matter is obvious here. Knowing that the request made by the person is unreasonable, but because she is afraid of people's tongue, she dare not even say a word of retort. Take the money to arrange those things.

Looking at her family, Yang Liu thought to herself that this mother is not weak, and this aunt is also very hot-tempered, how can she be bullied like this, really...

Yang Liu was so angry that she didn't know how to describe it, so she also sighed helplessly.

Yangliu and the others hadn't finished their sighs when suddenly a sharp voice came from the door: "Hey, auntie, Mancang's daughter-in-law is at home this time, just in time, I just wanted to tell you."

When the Cao family heard the voice, their faces changed slightly, and they all looked at the door.

Yang Liu followed suit and looked up, only to see a slightly fat middle-aged woman walking in from the outside with her bucket-like waist twisted.

Behind the woman was a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a thin figure. When he entered the yard, he saw Mrs. Huang and the others were there. ", when he saw Yang Liu, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at Yang Liu: "When did sister come back?"

Yang Liu guessed that this should be her adopted elder brother, she stood up from her chair, smiled, and replied, "Brother, I haven't been back for long..."

Before Yang Liu finished speaking, the woman's sharp voice sounded again: "What, you call him brother? He

Hearing her tone of voice was very displeased, maybe she just overheard her family's conversation at the door, it would be difficult to explain clearly, so she deliberately found an excuse to start arguing.

It just so happened that Yang Liu was upset about her family, and they would bump into each other, so let Yang Liu meet her.

When Yang Liu was at her in-law's house, she couldn't be too strong, for fear of being suspected, but here she doesn't need to worry too much. If her family members asked her, she would say that her mother-in-law taught her, and no one would doubt her.

But before Yang Liu could speak, Mrs. Cao hastily tugged Yang Liu's arm lightly, and then Mrs. Cao smiled at the woman rather flatteringly: "Our Liu'er is not often at home."

Unexpectedly, the woman didn't pay attention to the flattery in Cao's tone. She glanced at Cao, sneered, and said, "Mancang daughter-in-law, are you joking? They are all one family. Does she know her eldest brother? She is Was it on purpose?"

Mrs. Cao waved her hands hurriedly, still smiling flatteringly: "No, it wasn't on purpose, it was just a casual shout."

The woman snorted coldly at Mrs. Cao, squinted at Yang Liu and said, "Then if she didn't think so in her heart, why would she shout like that?"
