Chapter 50
According to appearance, Yingzi's parents are honest people.

Seeing Cao's enthusiasm, both of them looked much better, and they even seemed to be quite embarrassed by the two of them making faces when they entered the room just now.

Ying Ziniang even wanted to follow Cao's hand into the room, but was grabbed by Manxiu from behind.

Yang Liu saw Manxiu secretly winking with Yingzi's parents, Yingzi's mother let go of Cao's hand with a little apology, and stayed where she was.
Yingzi's father rubbed his hands anxiously, and after a while, he asked cautiously: "You see, you have something to do at home, so I'm not going to sit in the house, we came here to ask about the marriage of the two children. "
"I heard from sister-in-law Manxiu that Brother Mancang's family has objections to the betrothal gift and wants to ruin the marriage?"

When Cao and the others heard the words, they were all stunned for a while.

When she came back to her senses, Mrs. Cao grinned and said with a smile: "Father Yingzi, look at what you said. The date of the engagement of the two children has been set. How can you say that you are going to regret the marriage? Our family has never said such words." , we plan to discuss with Qingfeng about buying the bride price for our family at night."

Yingzi's parents immediately smiled when they heard what Cao said.

Ying Ziniang hurriedly turned back, took Cao's hand, and smiled relaxedly: "So that's the case, then, we just came here to ask, since Brother Mancang and your family have no intention of regretting the marriage, the engagement The day is still the same, we will wait for you at home that day."

Cao Shi nodded with a busy smile: "Okay..."

But before Mrs. Cao finished speaking, Manxiu rushed up and pulled Yingziniang away forcefully, and said angrily: "What's the matter? Today we are talking about the dowry, not the date of engagement. The dowry didn't say anything." Clearly, if the dowry is not right, who do you turn to? You..."

Before Man Xiu could finish speaking, Zhao Shi, who had been scolded by Huang Shi and dared not speak out, turned to Man Xiu at some point. She looked at Man Xiu and rolled her eyes.

Seeing that Manxiu was about to scold her, she turned around, turned her back to Manxiu, approached Mrs. Cao and asked, "Sister-in-law, what dowry, what misunderstanding, what are you talking about?"
Mrs. Cao glanced at Mrs. Zhao, and replied in a low voice, "Isn't it about Qingfeng's betrothal gift? Isn't it that we haven't decided what to buy yet?"
"Ah?" Mrs. Zhao looked at Mrs. Cao inexplicably, and said, "What do you want to decide? Aren't the betrothal gifts in our village all three taels of silver, four pieces of cloth, and a silver hairpin? What? Your family thinks that the betrothal gift is three taels of silver, so you can give it two taels, which is not a lot, and it is enough for a family like ours to eat..." Mrs. Zhao crackled and crackled when she opened her mouth. Unstoppable rhythm.
Manxiu saw that Mrs. Zhao talked more and more, and at the end, Mrs. Zhao even said that she could just grab a few packets of snacks and go to make an appointment. There were a few acquaintances on the left and right.

Manxiu's face turned black immediately, and she directly cut off her words and said, "Manfu's family, if you have nothing to do, go back to see the child earlier, and don't yell around, when I walked into your house just now, I heard your child talking Crying."
After Manxiu finished speaking, she glanced at Mrs. Zhao angrily, then turned to Mrs. Huang and said, "It's just right, auntie, Mancang's daughter-in-law, if your daughter doesn't talk about the dowry, do you want to discuss it with Yingzi's parents? Now that the meeting is here, you should explain the dowry clearly face to face, so as not to cause any misunderstandings and make it difficult for me, the middleman."

According to Zhao's pungent temperament, how can Zhao let people glance at her casually, just now Manxiu cast a glance at her and said those ambiguous words before Zhao has time to reply.
As soon as Manxiu finished speaking, she didn't care whether Manxiu was a relative or someone else, she answered unceremoniously: "Sister-in-law Manxiu, if you think it's difficult to be a middleman, you can just turn around and go back to the house. Middleman, can't Qingfeng get married?"
"According to me, Qingfeng and Yingzi have known each other since they were young, and the parents of the two families are getting along well. When getting married, the middle link can be completely omitted."

"That's why my elder brother and sister-in-law don't know how to make plans. If it were me, I would just want the woman's matchmaker. I don't need any other middlemen, so as not to waste money."

I have to say that although this Mrs. Zhao is the best, she really has two skills when dealing with people like Manxiu. Manxiu didn't slow down after what she said, so she could only look at her in a daze.

But Mrs. Zhao didn't intend to let Manxiu go. She glanced back at Manxiu the way Manxiu glanced at her just now, and said angrily, "Sister-in-law Manxiu, go back early if you have nothing to do. This is my elder brother's married son." Daughter-in-law, why are you here to join in the fun? I like to watch people marry their daughter-in-law so much. Go home and see your daughter-in-law. When I came here and passed by your house just now, I heard your daughter-in-law talking bad things about you in the village Woolen cloth."

After Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she glanced at Manxiu triumphantly. These words can be regarded as revenge for what Manxiu said about her just now.
Manxiu's teeth were almost crushed by Zhao Shiqi's mouthful, and she couldn't even speak with her tongue.

Manxiu didn't speak, but Manxiu's second son Qingxiang standing behind her couldn't help it.

Because the relationship between Qingxiang's daughter-in-law, that is, Manxiu's second daughter-in-law and Manxiu is notoriously bad in the village, after hearing what Zhao said, he subconsciously thought that Zhao was talking about his daughter-in-law, and he immediately replied: : "Aunt Manxiu, don't talk nonsense. When did my wife speak ill of my mother? Besides, my wife didn't go to the village. My wife was still at home just now."

"Ah?" Mrs. Zhao pretended to be surprised, but then changed her words as if nothing had happened: "That's why I remembered wrongly. It should be her who said it at home. I misremembered that it was the head of the village."

As soon as Qingxiang heard that Mrs. Zhao changed his words so quickly, he knew Mrs. Zhao was talking nonsense, he sneered, and snorted, "Don't talk nonsense, you came earlier than us, how could you hear my wife speak ill of my mother?" ?
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao retorted: "You were not at home just now, and how did you know that your daughter-in-law didn't speak ill of your mother? I just listened to the truth. Your daughter-in-law scolded your mother for being old and immortal, and said that your mother All the money in the family is in her hands, she wished that your mother would die earlier so that she could take care of the house."
The words Mrs. Zhao said were indeed what Qingxiang's daughter-in-law often said. Qingxiang now believed them a little. Looking at Mrs. Zhao, he said angrily: "You... this is my family's business, should you take care of it?"

Mrs. Zhao seemed to be waiting for someone from Manxiu's family to say this. As soon as Qingxiang finished speaking, she retorted: "Then why do you take care of the family's affairs? This family is married to a daughter-in-law. What is the big family rushing to do, want to fight, or want to rob?"
"You..." Qingxiang was so angry that he couldn't speak immediately, and pointed at Mrs. Zhao and stared blankly.

Mrs. Zhao watched her curl her lips and rolled her eyes.

"you……"
Qing Xiang wanted to quarrel with Mrs. Zhao, but was stopped by Man Xiu: "Qing Xiang, don't talk nonsense with her, we are here today to talk about your younger brother's marriage."

Mrs. Zhao laughed maliciously when she heard the words, and then answered: "Little brother Qingxiang, Qingfeng is the son of my elder brother's family. When we adopted him, we agreed that after Qingxiang I only recognize my eldest brother and sister-in-law as parents, don't keep talking about Qingxiang's younger brother, I have never seen such a person who likes to mess around."

Although Manxiu is also powerful, but when she met Zhao Shi, she was a little inferior. She was so angry with Zhao Shi that she could only use her status to suppress others: "You... your family still doesn't distinguish between superior and inferior, the head First I was bullied by a little girl from your family here, and now I am going to be bullied by Manfu's family, what are you trying to do, repay your kindness with revenge, or cross the river to demolish it."
Huang and the others saw Manxiu being smoked by Zhao's anger, and they were already overjoyed, but after hearing Manxiu's serious words of repaying kindness and revenge, they still pretended to stop Zhao: "Okay, third daughter-in-law, where is there?" So much to say, since Sister-in-law Manxiu said that she is here to talk about the marriage with Qingfeng, let's listen to what your sister-in-law Manxiu has to say, and if she is wrong, speak up again."

"Okay, mother." Mrs. Zhao replied loudly, and then found a small low stool in the yard and sat down. Finally, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the bottom and licked it on the side. She saw Yang Liu standing behind her. Then, she also took out a handful of melon seeds and handed them to Yang Liu.

Although Yang Liu didn't like how fierce and unreasonable Zhao Shicai was when he quarreled with Liu Shi just now, the scene of Zhao Shicai's fight against Manxiu just now really made people happy, and Yang Liu felt that Zhao Shicai at this time was not like the one he saw at first. It was so annoying at the time, but on the contrary, it made people feel very close.
Therefore, Yang Liu didn't refuse Zhao Shi, took the melon seeds from Zhao Shi and put them on the table, nibbling one every now and then.

I don't know if it was because Yang Liu and Mrs. Zhao had a lot of dealings in the past, or Mrs. Zhao was easy to get acquainted with. She didn't seem to feel uncomfortable with Yang Liu. She grabbed Yang Liu and chatted about their family affairs for a few miles. Come on, why her family's harvest is not good this year, her family's children are not easy to take care of, and she even talked about it for a long time when she caught piglets last month and brought them back to feed.

While talking, she didn't know how to get to the matter of the mountain, so Mrs. Zhao sighed and said, "Liu'er, let's talk about the matter of the mountain."
"Actually, it's not that I'm just looking for trouble, but that your grandma and your parents don't know how to think. They are timid. They always think that the mountain is earned, and they are satisfied if they can earn a little money, but they don't have to think about it. It’s a pity to plant trees on such a big mountain.”
After a pause, Mrs. Zhao continued: "I thought that if I could grow something else, I would earn more money than planting trees. Taking a step back, even though the village head said that the tree could be sold to the government, the government has also accepted these trees in the past two years. , but what the government said is that in the past two years, if after these two years, the trees can no longer earn money, then what do we do with so many trees? By then the whole village will be full of trees. There will be too many trees in the end. It's all useless stuff."
"Besides, the trees mentioned by the village head are really not rare, but we don't have them in this mountain. If we go to a big place, I'm afraid there will be as many as there are. Let me tell you, the trees planted by the village head and others, There are quite a few of them on the mountain of my mother’s house. I’m still thinking about asking the village chief in a few days. If someone really collects them, I’ll ask your third uncle to go to my mother’s mountain to cut some and sell them to earn some pocket money. That's fine too."

 Thank you for Lin's exclusive memory, Sanjiuye, because you have lost your heart for three years, CY Yuanyuan and the others gave you a reward for their peace talisman.Thank you, weakly ask for pink!
