Chapter 220
The next morning, in a small mountain village in Wuyang Town, Jin County, in a house at the east end of the village, more than a dozen people in the house were chatting enthusiastically.
"Xiao Li! How about that A Gang? Tell us about him."
"Is he handsome? Is he reliable?
These days, young people like to use sweet words to deceive girls, so you have to keep your eyes open."
"That's right... and as for the bride price, you can't do without 300,000.
A few days ago, the bride price of the daughter of the old Zhou family in our village was 380,000. Now if you don't have a 300,000 bride price to marry your daughter, you will be laughed at."
...
Several middle-aged and elderly people were asking questions in the room, and the topics they talked about were very realistic.
"Aunt, A Gang is very honest and doesn't use sweet words.
I agreed to date him because I like his honesty and simplicity." Yang Li said shyly.
Yang Li's father Yang Zhong glanced at the middle-aged woman who had just spoken, and said unhappily, "Okay, her aunt, what are you talking about? What about 300,000 betrothal gifts?
How much betrothal gifts the Zhou family likes to ask for is their business. Even if they ask for 1 million, what does it have to do with our family?
I just want to see that the boy is honest and treats Xiao Li well.
We don't really care about betrothal gifts...
Besides, if the man's family assets are emptied, how will Xiao Li live after she gets married?"
Although his family is poor, he has never thought of living on his daughter's betrothal gifts.
Sometimes he really can't understand those parents who ask for a lot of betrothal gifts.
What's the benefit of emptying the man's family assets, or even taking out a loan of hundreds of thousands?
After getting married, it will only make his daughter heavily in debt, be looked down upon, and live a harder life...
Hearing Yang Zhong's words, the middle-aged woman was immediately unhappy.
She immediately said in a sharp voice, "Brother-in-law, you are so confused!
If you don't take this opportunity to ask for more betrothal gifts, what will you give to the bride's family when Xiaoqiang gets married?
If the other party asks for 300,000 yuan, can you afford it with your family situation?"
Yang Zhong said directly, "Don't say it...
When Xiaoqiang gets married, I will go to collect the betrothal gifts even if I have to sell everything I have.
If we really can't collect it by then, it's because we are not capable enough."
The middle-aged woman wanted to say something else.
But he was interrupted by Yang Li's mother Xu Fanhua, "Okay, Lao Si, stop talking.
Your brother-in-law is right. We never expected the other party to give us much dowry.
As long as he is really good to Xiao Li, we will be happy even if we don't want any dowry.
Don't make trouble here. If you are busy at home, go and deal with the family affairs. If you are not busy, have a good meal later.
Eat more and talk less..."
Xu Jiaohua was so angry that she stamped her feet, "You two are really alike. Your thoughts are too ignorant!"
...
At this time, Jiang Chuan had driven to the east end of Dongxiang Village.
What came into view was a simple courtyard, with a courtyard wall and a wooden gate on the south, and two low stone houses on the east and west sides.
Only the house on the north side was a brick house that looked like it had just been built.
"Agang, is this the one?"
After stopping the car, Jiang Chuan turned around and looked at Agang in the back seat and asked.
Agang also quickly took out his mobile phone to open the picture and compared it, and then immediately nodded excitedly, "Yes, this is the one!"
"Okay, then get off the car!" Jiang Chuan said, unbuckled his seat belt and got off the car.
Grandma Xiu and Aunt San also got off the car one after another.
As if they heard the noise outside, everyone in the house came out.
There were a total of ten people, most of whom were middle-aged.
There was only one girl of the same age as Agang, standing at the edge of the crowd.
She was dressed very simply, a pair of slightly bleached jeans, and a white T-shirt on her upper body.
She had a lot of black hair, tied in a high ponytail.
She was slightly fat, with wheat-colored skin, and her appearance was average.
She was not ugly, but she was a little transparent in the crowd.
Judging from her face, she is an honest girl who knows how to live...
She looks like a good match with Agang.
Beside the girl, there is a boy who looks four or five years younger.
At this time, Agang blushed and ran to Jiangchuan to introduce her, "Brother, she is Xiaoli..."
"Yeah, she looks like a good girl.
She looks like a good match with you." Jiangchuan nodded.
The two groups also walked towards each other.
They all had bright smiles on their faces...
"Dad, Mom, Big Aunt, Little Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Little Aunt... He is"Agang!!"
Yang Li also hurriedly introduced Agang to all the elders.
"Uncle and aunt..."
Agang blushed and greeted everyone.
He clenched his fists tightly and looked very nervous.
After all, this was the first time, and nervousness was inevitable.
"Good...good!" Yang Zhong looked at Agang's appearance and liked him immediately.
Although he was fat and not handsome, he looked quite honest.
And this shy and nervous look showed that he was not the kind of boy who would speak sweet words.
In comparison, he felt that the handsome young man next to Agang was not very reliable.
"Huh? ! Really fat...
Xiao Li, what kind of vision is this!" Xu Jiaohua muttered softly.
Xu Fanhua immediately glared at her fiercely.
"Uncle and aunt, this is my grandmother, these two are my uncle and aunt, he is my brother Jiangchuan, and this one... is my sister-in-law. "Agang also hurriedly introduced Jiangchuan and the others to everyone.
"Auntie... big brother, big sister!
Come in quickly."
Yang Zhong said eagerly to Wang Guihua and the other two.
As for Jiangchuan and Axiu, they were directly ignored.
Jiangchuan naturally didn't care.
After all, they were all elders, and Jiangchuan and Axiu were younger.
Yang Li hurriedly ran to Jiangchuan and Axiu, and then greeted them with a red face, "Brother, sister-in-law! Let's go in too!
Agang often mentioned you to me! "
The two calls of "sister-in-law" immediately made He Jinxiu blush.
Then the group entered the yard in a mighty manner.
They were taken directly to the newly renovated north room.
There was not much furniture inside, just a bed, an altar for ancestors, a set of coffee tables and sofas.
It seemed a bit empty in the huge room.
Jiang Chuan and the others also put down all the gifts they were holding.
Everyone was holding several gifts, and the empty room immediately became full.
Among the top-quality items, there was Chinese Cigarettes, Moutai, and all kinds of nutritional supplements, tea, fruit and meat.
Seeing so many things, everyone was secretly amazed.
Yang Zhong and Xu Fanhua were even more delighted.
This joy was not just because of these things.
More importantly, it was an attitude.
The man brought so many things, and they were all expensive.
This was enough to show their attitude and the importance they attached to their family.
Yang Zhong hurriedly said, "Auntie, you said you would come, why did you bring so many expensive things?
This is just the first meeting, not an important day, it's so expensive to bring so many things..."
Although she said so, she was very happy in her heart.
After seeing the other party's attitude, the old lady was also very happy in her heart.
On the way here just now, she was very nervous, fearing that the other party's parents would be unruly and difficult to deal with.
Now it seems that the worry just now was unnecessary.
The old lady smiled happily, "These things were selected by Xiaochuan and Agang.
Xiaochuan said that the attitude is very important when you go to the girl's house for the first time, and you can't be too shabby! "
Hearing the words of the old lady, Yang Zhong and his wife both looked at Jiang Chuan.
Unexpectedly, this boy, who looks young, is quite worldly-wise.
"Okay...Okay!!
Old lady, you guys hurry up and prepare the food.
I'm happy today, I want to drink a few more cups. " Yang Zhong patted his thigh, and then said to the middle-aged women behind him.
Agang looked honest, and he liked him at first sight.
In addition, the other party's attitude made him even happier.
More importantly, his daughter likes him, and if nothing unexpected happens, this matter will be settled.
Jiang Tao also hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother, I will accompany you to have a few drinks today.
Don't worry! Xiaoli will never suffer any grievances when she comes to our house.
Although my husband and I are not Agang's uncle and aunt, we are exactly the same as relatives.
After Xiaoli gets married, she will be like our child.
If this kid Agang dares to bully Xiaoli, I, as his uncle, will beat him to death with a willow stick."
