Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 402 Lin Yue Niang

"My mother-in-law said that if the betrothal gift is higher than 328 yuan, she will not marry you. If she wants to look for other girls, she will have no money. I'm afraid I will have to ask Gu Yan for help."

Ji Wenhe looked at her and said, "I don't think Gu Yan can come up with the money. Dali has been taking care of her at home. He hasn't gone to work in town or gone hunting. The family doesn't have much land and can't sell it for much money. I'm afraid she won't be able to come up with the money."

Qian Hongjuan sighed again: "Even if we can't afford it, we have to give some. We have two brothers, she can't just ignore us. If we had money, we wouldn't ask her for it."

She joked, "If she really can't take it out, you can't ask her to borrow from someone else."

"I was thinking of giving her a little, but if I really couldn't afford it, I wouldn't force her. It's just that I thought so, but my mother-in-law and her father didn't think so. So I simply didn't interfere in this matter. Let them do whatever they want. I'm stuck in the middle, and I can't help anyone."

She loves her daughter, but her son is more important.

"Let's sit down and discuss it carefully. Aunt Qian, you can go back to work. I'll go back to work."

"Hey, let's go back."

When Ji Wenhe turned and left, she heard her mutter softly: It's so worrying.

I thought to myself: You are worried, and others are worried too.

I have to find a chance to visit Shen Guyan and remind her so that she can be prepared if her father and grandmother do anything weird.

The next morning, several people drove out of the village on donkey carts.

Lan Qiuhua called her at the gate: "Wen He, Rongshan and the others are going to buy piglets.

"Yes, Aunt Lan, where is Xiaolian?"

"She's lying in the house. She's about to give birth. She feels heavy and doesn't want to move around."

"You have to go out for a walk, it's good to walk."

"Yes, I'll take her out for a walk later."

Amelia Su shouted in the house: “Mom.”

"Hey, it's coming."

Lan Qiuhua quickly turned around and ran into the house: "What's wrong?"

"Mom, help me up. I want to go to the toilet."

"Just lie down and wait for me to bring in the urine bucket."

Seeing that she would be born soon, she became anxious.

He carried the urine bucket into the house and said, "Xiao Lian, wait until the middle of the month and ask someone to tell An Guo to come back early. You don't know whether the baby will be born at the end of April or the beginning of May. It will be more reassuring if you can have him come back early to accompany you."

Amelia Su sat up with difficulty, holding her big belly: “I’ll listen to you, let him come back early.”

"Okay, I'll go to Zhaojia Village and ask someone to tell him to be careful when you go out and in. If you have any problems, call me. I'll sleep with you at night."

"Apart from feeling heavy and wanting to go to the toilet all the time, there's nothing else wrong with me, mom, don't worry."

"How can I not worry? Giving birth is like going through the gates of hell for a woman. You have to be careful."

Suddenly I remembered: "Oh! I forgot to find the midwife. I have to go and tell her later that you should stay at home and don't go out. I will take you out for a walk when I come back."

"Well, I understand, mother."

Whenever a family is going to have a baby, they will tell the midwife in advance. The midwife will know the situation and will not travel far during that period.

Lin Yueniang and a man drove a donkey cart into the village.

Wang Erfeng saw it in the vegetable garden and asked with a smile: "Lin Yue Niang, are you going to propose marriage to the two Wenshan brothers?"

"Yes, his sister-in-law asked someone to tell me to come over today."

Lin Yue Niang knew that their family was in the cargo transportation business, had built three houses, and raised pigs, so the family was rich.

I had inquired about their family two years ago, and was just waiting for their two younger brothers-in-law to ask her for help in finding a marriage partner. This family is the best to find.

"Erfeng, when will your Qingdai let me see her?"

"Soon, maybe in May or June."

"Okay, I'll go first, you can find me then."

Wang Erfeng smiled and replied: "I will definitely find you."

The donkey cart stopped at the door.

Lin Yueniang shouted to the courtyard: "Is anyone home?"

Ji Wenhe came out of the house: "I'm here."

Seeing her push the door open, he quickly invited her in to sit down.

"He's my man, so he won't come in. Wait outside. Where are your two brothers-in-law?"

"One is out, and the other is over at the pig pen." Ji Wenhe carried two stools and placed them under the eaves. "Come, sit down and talk."

After Lin Yueniang sat down, she asked directly, "What kind of girl do you want to find for your two brothers-in-law?"

"I don't have any excessive requirements. I just want to find a girl with a gentle personality, and whose parents are easy to talk to. It doesn't matter if she's rich or not, as long as she's a nice person."

"That's easy to find. There are many girls with good personalities. Girls have many brothers and sisters."

Ji Wenhe shook his head: "It doesn't matter how much, these are their requirements anyway, but it still depends on whether you like me or not."

"Yes, it depends on your liking. Don't worry, I will look for a good brother-in-law for your family." Lin Yue Niang looked at her, "I have to ask about your family's situation. If the girl asks, I can talk to them."

She nodded: "Okay, ask."

"Both of your brothers-in-law have their own houses."

"Yes, the house to the east is Yuanshan's, and the house in the front is Wenshan's."

"What about the fields?"

"One family has two mu of paddy field, one family has two mu of dry land, and seven mu of vegetable land, which has not been divided yet. If the two families are willing, they can plant together. If not, they can ask the head of the village to separate the land."

"They started a peddler business together, selling rice and flour. Currently, they are both learning carpentry and can make some small things themselves."

Lin Yue Niang then asked: "If this marriage is successful, how much betrothal gift can your family give?"

"It depends on how much the girl wants. If it's too much, we may not be able to give it. We have built a house and bought fields and dry land. We don't have much money."

Lin Yueniang understood: "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll find two sisters-in-law for you. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"By the way, can I go and see their house, fields and dry land?"

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Ji Wenhe took her to see the house, fields and dry land.

After reading it, Lin Yue Niang said with a smile: "It's done, I have an idea, you wait for good news at home, I will come to see you in two days."

"Well, thank you for your help. Please pay more attention to us."

"Oh, it's no trouble at all. I took the money too." He waved to the people on the donkey cart and said, "You go back. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, you go slowly."

Ji Wenhe watched their backs as they left the village.

After the marriage, twenty cents will be given. If the family is rich, ten more cents can be given, and some gifts can be given.

I heard that the matchmakers in the town give more, and if they meet a rich man, a few taels of silver is no problem.

The red envelope from a matchmaking match is enough to live on for two or three years.

Lin Yue Niang has a good reputation in the area, and many people look for her.
