Chapter 127: Sun Laifus request
Chapter 127 Sun Laifu's Request
In fact, he also wanted to ask if the three Wen Yuanliang brothers were studying outside, but he felt that it was too much. The Wen family had not explained this matter until now, which showed that they did not want to make it public. Knowing that I was unhappy, I simply opened one eye and closed the other, as if I didn't care.
Mr. Zhang heard the words, and after a long silence, he raised his head and reminded with a complex expression: "The matter of Mrs. Li has just passed. You should take this as a warning. It is your duty to live your own life well. Don't worry about the rest."
When ?? mentioned Xiao Li, everyone's faces changed suddenly, and the warm atmosphere just now froze instantly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs Ye hurriedly said: "Mother is right, the boss and the children are just curious and casually talking about it at home, don't worry, they are keeping their mouths tight outside, and those who shouldn't be curious will never be curious. Qing is also engaged now, and the house will be built after the spring ploughing, should we save materials earlier?"
Speaking of getting married, Sun Qing lowered his head embarrassedly, but listened carefully to what his elders said.
Sun Laifu pondered: "Of course things have to be prepared. Tell Ergou and the others and ask them to help dig the materials. I will do the rest with Aqing, so it won't delay the business."
The homestead that Sun Laifu bought for Sun Qing is right next to their house. The total area is only half an acre, which is enough to build four adobe houses and a large yard. It cost 500 yuan to buy the land. It’s slow, but you don’t need to spend a lot of money, you just need to hire someone to dig the soil, go up the mountain to chop wood, and install the beams, which can be done with a swipe of money.
"The house is ready and there's furniture. I'm afraid it's too late to make furniture on Youshan!" Li sighed, she really liked the furniture made by Wen Youshan. Shi didn't want to be sloppy, but the furniture made by others was similar, and there was no pattern, so it didn't seem to be a bit new.
Sun Laifu scratched his head and said, "Is there no dowry for this daughter-in-law?"
They promised to build a house for Sun Qing before they got married, and they also said that the family would be separated after they got married, so the other party couldn't marry empty-handed.
Mentioned this, both Li and Ye were choked, looking at each other and not knowing how to speak.
"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Sun Laifu was a little at a loss. Sun Qing's marriage was decided by Li and Ye, and Sun Qing nodded himself, so he still doesn't know what happened to his daughter-in-law.
Sun Qing said embarrassedly: "Father, there was no problem before, but before the new year, the Feng family came over to send the New Year's gift and mentioned it. It seems that Feng's mother was ill, and the illness has to be supported, not to mention the money. I can’t be tired, I can’t work hard, I’m afraid the Feng family doesn’t have much money now, so we can’t point to Feng’s dowry.”
What if the family gave cash? At that time, when they got married, the house was empty, which was too outrageous.
Sun Laifu frowned deeply when he heard the words, and said after a long silence, "I'll go to Youshan's house to see if there is any extra wood to pack out while the snow has not yet melted."
He had been working on Wen Youshan for a few months, but he was still a little rough, so he said Sun Laifu and went out.
Mr. Ye chased him out of the house, "The head of the family, I didn't bring any money."
Sun Laifu turned around and smiled at Mrs Ye, "It's okay, just ask first."
Ye Shi then silently retreated.
When Sun Laifu arrived at Wen's house, he found that Wen Youshan was the only one who was busy working outside. Like him, the others didn't come after the Chinese New Year. Brother, do you have enough wood?"
Wen Youshan was doing the final process for the furniture. He raised his head and glanced at Sun Laifu, "What? Do you want to make furniture for Aqing too?"
Sun Laifu's heart was revealed, so he nodded embarrassedly, "I know it's a little embarrassing, but I just found out about the situation at the woman's house, I'm afraid it's too late to discuss these things, so I want to ask if you can fight here, If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, I can go to the next village."
"What do you want to fight?" Wen Youshan put down his work, clapped his hands and walked to Sun Laifu's side.
Sun Laifu naturally wanted to fight all of them, but he also knew that this was unrealistic. After struggling for a long time, he made a difficult choice, "Why don't we fight a bed and a cabinet first?"
Wen Youshan frowned, "If you beat the bed, the wood is still enough, I'm afraid it won't work if you beat the cabinet, I guess you can only beat a few chairs, but if you can get me wood, you can beat it, but I only have it for a while. Time, even if the snow melts, I can't take care of it."
Sun Laifu felt depressed in his heart. He looked sad for a long time, and it took a long time before he begged: "Brother, can I ask the master from the next village to make furniture, and you ask my sister-in-law to draw some patterns for me?"
Wen Youshan thought about Chen Ningya's weaving, and didn't dare to help him privately, but Wen Yuanzhen, who came to deliver things, heard it and said with a smile: "What's the matter, if my mother is not free, I can also draw. "
Wen Youshan was stunned and patted his head, "Look at my brain, I forgot that my eldest girl also learned to draw with her mother for several years. When the time comes, let the eldest girl paint it, and I'm sure there will be no problem."
Sun Laifu nodded repeatedly in surprise, and thanked Wen Yuanzhen well, "Girl Zhen, don't worry, Uncle will pay you."
"Sure! Then I'll wait for a good start from Uncle Sun." Wen Yuanzhen jokingly put down the tea and returned to the backyard neatly.
Sun Laifu couldn't be more envious, "Tell me that you are raised by this girl, and you can't find a comparable one in every mile and eight townships. Have you considered marrying such a good girl?"
"Know the root cause?" Wen Youshan stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Is it our village?"
Sun Laifu didn't nod his head, but his expression meant this.
Wen Youshan snorted coldly, "How is that possible! If the boy in the village can guarantee that after marrying my daughter, her fingers will not touch the spring water, and she will not have to deal with cunning in-laws, charming little sister-in-law, and a bunch of cheap relatives, Then I can think about it."
Sun Laifu was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Hey, brother, do you think I didn't say it right?"
This is where to marry a daughter-in-law, it is clearly to marry an ancestor, and ordinary people can't afford it.
Wen Youshan wanted to say a few words, how could a married woman be so comfortable, she swallowed the words when she said it, the current conditions of the Wen family are so good, it is forgivable to be reluctant to let their daughter marry and suffer hardships. In the future, the two girls of the Wen family are expected to marry people with good conditions in the town. No matter how bad it is, they will find that kind of wealthy households. Men from these nearby villages are probably not considered.
