44. This is my dowry

Last night, the Zhao family discussed for a long time, and finally discussed a charter and made two requirements for Jiang Zhen.

First of all, Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu must let Zhao Jin Ge retire. Although Zhao Jin Ge is a Shuang'er, they only have such a child after all.

Secondly, they planned to ask for ten taels of silver for the bride gift. Of course, Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu's husband and wife did not take the ten taels of silver, but instead gave it to Brother Zhao Jin as a dowry... Their actions were mainly to ask for a guarantee for Brother Zhao Jin.

As for other things, they had no requirements. Even if Jiang Zhen didn't want to invite someone to have a wedding banquet, it would be fine. Anyway, there were not many relatives in the Zhao family, so they could invite someone to have a drink by themselves.

In fact, they were a little unconfident when making these two requests... They wanted Brother Zhao Jin to support him, so they could not ask for a bride price anymore.

But the marriage has to be discussed. They don’t mention anything, and maybe Jiang Zhen feels that Brother Zhao Jin is paying the price...

Finally, Zhao Fugui decided to ask for a brief introduction before talking, and then everyone would discuss it slowly.

After making the decision, they felt much more relaxed and got up early in the morning and waited for Jiang Zhen to come to the door.

result……

Zhao Fugui and Zhao Jinge waited for a whole morning without going to work, but Jiang Zhen didn't come. Zhao Liu was too anxious to ask Sun Xiaoshan's eldest son Wang Yuer, and then he realized that Jiang Zhen was going to the county town to buy things.

It seems that Jiang Zhen attaches great importance to the proposal... The Zhao family continued to wait, and then waited for Jiang Zhen with the chickens and ducks.

Zhao Liu: “…”

Forget it, Jiang Zhen is alone, without his parents helping him. It would be nice to remember to bring some things when he proposed marriage. They should not be too concerned.

Zhao Liu made Jiang into the house. As for Wang Haisheng, he was not a relative or a good person, so he put down his burden and insisted on leaving without going into the house.

"Dad, mom, I'm here to propose marriage today. I hope you will marry Brother Jin to me." Jiang Zhen said very sincerely.

Zhao Liu had always been a little afraid of Jiang Zhen before, but now Jiang Zhen looked very peaceful, but she couldn't be afraid anymore. She even burst into tears because of Jiang Zhen's words.

Someone came to propose marriage for her brother Jin! Jiang Zhen was much more sincere than Li Zugen.

The Li family said it nicely and kept saying that they were sincerely coming to propose marriage, but in fact, they came to the house so many times, but they didn't even bring the onion!

"Okay, okay..." Zhao Liu wiped his tears and nodded repeatedly. She wanted to make a request immediately, but she didn't know what to say, so she was stunned.

Jiang Zhen actually didn't know what to do and say at this time, but he was impatient and simply took out the things from the load he was carrying: "Dad, I've bought something."

What Jiang Zhen took out was the wrapped rouge and bracelet. When he found that he had brought a silver bracelet, Zhao Liu was even more satisfied with him.

Jiang Zhen seemed to be very concerned about Jin Ge'er when he knew to buy rouge jewelry for her brother Jin.

But... is this bracelet a little small? His Jin Ge'er's wrist is a bit thick, so such a small bracelet cannot be worn...

Zhao Liu was a little confused, so Jiang Zhen gave him the rouge and bracelet: "Mom, this is for you."

For himself? Zhao Liu was even more puzzled. This proposal... There is no reason to buy things for his mother-in-law... Of course, the dowry is now accused of giving to his mother-in-law.

"Dad, I bought you some wine, and I don't know if you like it." Jiang Zhen put the meat on the table and gave Zhao Fugui a jar of wine.

Zhao Fugui has been stern since he came in to beat Jiang Zhen, but Jiang Zhen sent a jar of wine, but he couldn't help but smile.

Finally, Jiang Zhen gave the fabric to Brother Zhao Jin: "Brother Jin, I bought more cloth. It is said that I can make four-piece clothes. You can make two pieces by yourself and one for your parents."

Brother Zhao Jin took the cloth and couldn't speak. Although it was a bit strange to give Zhao Liu's rouge jewelry and to give himself such a gray cloth, he was still very happy.

"I plan to do some small business and keep some capital, so I don't buy much." Jiang Zhen gave the gift and explained again, but he didn't mention the chickens and ducks - asking the Zhao family to raise chickens and ducks, and we will discuss it later.

After hearing Jiang Zhen's words, the Zhao family began to think.

Jiang Zhen said this, but he didn't want to give a bride price? But this is not impossible. The things he bought and the bracelet cost six or seven taels of silver.

"There are ten taels of silver here, you can use it." Jiang Zhen took out ten taels of silver to Zhao Liu's family. He knew that the Zhao family had no money. Before, Zhao Jin gave all his belongings to him, so they probably had no money, but it would definitely cost money to hold a marriage.

He didn't want to worry about getting married, but he couldn't let the Zhao family kill a pig, which would be too aggrieved by Brother Zhao Jin.

The Zhao family didn't expect Jiang Zhen to give a bride gift. They were very surprised for a moment, and they even liked Jiang Zhen even more.

But I still have to talk about the elderly care...

"Jiang Zhen, there is another thing I want to tell you. We are only one child now, so we will ask Brother Jin to take care of us for the elderly and see us for the death of our children." Zhao Fugui said. The people in the countryside attach great importance to the elderly and see us for the death of our children, and even think that if no one holds a funeral and see us for the death of our children, we will suffer in the underworld after death.

So some people are so poor that they have to have a son.

"This is what you deserve. If you give birth to Brother Jin, of course we will give you a care for the elderly and see you off." Jiang Zhen said. Zhao Fugui and his wife raised Brother Zhao, and of course Zhao Jin had to give them a care for the elderly and see you off. There is no doubt about this.

Speaking of which, if Jiang and the butcher couple are a little bit better to Boss Jiang, he will not do that.

Jiang Zhen agreed immediately, and the Zhao family became even happier. Seeing Jiang Zhen’s view, he became more and more liked.

There must be a reason why Boss Jiang was so fierce before. He was obviously a very easy-to-negotiate person.

"Don't worry, we are still doing things now, you don't need to raise them. If you have children, we can still help you take care of them." Zhao Liu said. She suddenly felt full of hope for the future. When she thought that she could still take care of her grandson, she suddenly became much better.

"Yes, that's it. It's okay for me to do it for another ten years." Zhao Fugui also said.

"And you also have this dowry, don't worry, we will let Brother Zhao take it there. I saved some money. Brother Jin should be a little bit too. We can buy acre of land to make a dowry for Brother Jin, so that you can have a little better life in the future." Zhao Liu said again.

"Wait..." Jiang Zhen interrupted Zhao Liu's words.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Liu asked. Didn't Jiang Zhen want to buy land?

"This is not a dowry, it's a dowry." Jiang Zhen said domineeringly: "I will come to your house to live in the future. I will give you the dowry first. Just buy some things... It's good to buy land, and I can't lose money no matter how you."

Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu were both confused and suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Didn’t Jiang Zhen come to propose marriage? Why did he say that what he brought...is a dowry?

Such a person who looked very domineering and said that it was his dowry, which really made them feel strange...

"You said... you want to come to my house to live?" Zhao Liu asked in disbelief.

"That's right, haven't you always wanted to hire a son-in-law? What do you think of me? Actually, I have long wanted to come to your house to live, but I didn't dare to say it before." Jiang Zhen said.

Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi only felt fainted by the pie falling from the sky.

They saw Jiang Zhen bringing so many things before, and they thought it was good for Brother Zhao Jin to marry Jiang Zhen, but in the end... Jiang Zhen was actually willing to marry into a marriage?

This...this...their Zhao family has a descendant? Can they still hold their grandson in the future?

Zhao Liu suddenly cried, and the more he cried, he became louder and louder. Zhao Fugui wanted to laugh a little, but he twitched the corners of his mouth but didn't laugh, his expression was extremely strange.

They were all so surprised.

Brother Zhao Jin looked at Jiang Zhen in shock with his cloth in his arms. At first, before Jiang Zhen left the Jiang family, he thought about letting Jiang Zhen marry into his family, but then he didn't think so, and he didn't expect...

"Ahem, there is no need to get a dowry, no need to do it." Zhao Fugui took the silver from Zhao Liu's hand and gave it to Jiang Zhen.

Zhao Liu was stunned and wiped away his tears and returned the bracelet. If Jiang Zhen was willing to marry into the family, they should give Jiang Zhen a gift, and they should buy things for Jiang Zhen. How could Jiang Zhen spend money?

"Okay, you just need to keep it!" Jiang Zhen pushed and pushed around impatiently, frowned and said, "You can do whatever you want to do with the marriage, and I have no objection."

After Jiang Zhen spoke so loudly, Zhao Liu did not dare to return the bracelet, but looking at Jiang Zhen's gaze, he had become very kind: "Don't worry, we will definitely do this marriage decent." She will definitely make the wedding so glorious that Jiang Zhen can also have face.

"It's usually fine, we don't have much money now." Jiang Zhen said, the little money he made has been spent again...

"Yes, we don't have much money now, so we should save some money." Zhao Liu said, and immediately changed his mind. The scenery on the surface is not good for living. It is better for them to save land than to keep it for Jin Ge'er's children, and in the future, they will give it to Jin Ge'er's grandson...

"Okay, let's have a meal." Zhao Fugui said with a red face.

Although Zhao Liu made all the meat yesterday, he later specially kept a few meat dishes, and today he used them to entertain Jiang Zhen.

She originally thought she had done a good job and had a lot of food preparations, but now...

Zhao Liu regretted it very much. She shouldn’t have made that meat yesterday, so that today it can be full of fresh dishes!

"I'll make two more dishes." Zhao Liu stood up and said, intending to buy a few eggs to stir-fry.

"Mom, no need, I can't finish eating more." Jiang Zhen called Zhao Liu.

"Oh, okay." Zhao Liu sat down happily. Why did she think Jiang Zhen called her mother scary yesterday? How nice it sounds!

The whole family had a happy meal.

Jiang Zhen was already hungry and didn't be polite to others. He ate two big bowls of rice in one go. If it were before, Zhao Liu might have secretly disliked him for eating too much when he saw him eating like this, but now he was reluctant to eat more, and kept holding the meat in his bowl: "You eat more, don't be polite... Alas, you cooked by yourself a few days ago. It's too hard, so I'll come to our house to eat in the future."

Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin Ge were also engaged, and for them, it was normal for the two families who were engaged to move around, so it was nothing to let Jiang Zhen come to have a meal.

Jiang Zhen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

He would agree not because he was too lazy to cook, but because he wanted to improve the Zhao family's food.

He brought his own food and brought some wild game every day to let the Zhao family eat better. This is pretty good.

After having a meal, the family became much closer. Jiang Zhen also explained the reason why he bought chickens and ducks: "In the future, I will catch some fish when I have time, I will come back to feed the ducks. When the ducks grow up, we can let them lay eggs and sell duck eggs, and they can also sell them whole."

"Can this work? Can it be sold?" Zhao Liu was a little worried. Their village basically kept food at home.

"Yes, you can sell it." Zhao Fugui said immediately. He knew that as long as he was sent to the county town, he would definitely be able to sell it, and at most he would sell the land a little slower.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fugui was a little embarrassed. Before Jiang Zhen arrived at their house, he helped them make a living. He had never thought of these ways to improve their lives before...

However, they had no time to get fish and shrimp to feed ducks...

Jiang Zhen stayed at the Zhao family until it was dark before he went back.

He actually didn't want to go back and stay overnight, but finally let his mother-in-law like him so much that he decided to bear it for the time being. Anyway, judging by the current situation of Zhao Fugui and his wife, he was eager to get his marriage to Zhao Jinge immediately.

Obviously, he didn't have to endure it for too long.

After Jiang Zhen left, Zhao Liu was very excited. Although it was getting dark, he was still in a bad spirit.

She walked around the house, then called Zhao Jin Ge, saying that she wanted to go to the river to wash all the dirty clothes at home, and then touched some snails to feed the ducks.

Actually, there is no need to be so anxious... Brother Zhao Jin wants to persuade his mother, but he also wants to do something and calm down now...

So the two went to the river to wash their clothes.

People who have been following the Zhao family naturally saw this scene and saw Zhao Liu's red and swollen eyes.

This... I don't know what Boss Jiang did to the Zhao family, but Zhao Liu actually cried so hard.
