Chapter 5: Marriage, Disagreement
Chapter 5: Marriage, Disagree
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment. At this moment, his vanity was aroused. He completely forgot the purpose of speaking, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
He put on a greasy face that was more affectionate than a dog and said: "Tiantian, your parents... I only treat you as a sister..."
In the past, the original owner would have been led into a ditch, and immediately felt sorry for Xu Qing, and promised to try his best to convince his parents to agree to their marriage.
But Xu Tiantian is not the original owner.
"Then please don't be a hooligan to me, Comrade Xu Qing."
Xu Qing: "?"
"Tiantian, what are you saying——"
Xu Tiantian interrupted him: "Since you don't like me, and we are not related by blood, don't call me Tiantian all the time, otherwise, I will feel like a toad spitting at me, disgusting, and I will not be able to help but go to the police station to report you for sexual harassment!"
After saying it in one breath, Xu Tiantian, who was not interested in showing off, left quietly.
Xu Qing was left a little messy.

"Three turns and one ring, plus a hundred yuan in betrothal gifts." Liu Zhaodi said loudly.
She knew that when Ersha's father died, everyone in the team gave compensation to the old secretary's family. Some gave more, some gave less, but there were hundreds of people, so there was still some money. She didn't ask for much.
Bang.
The old secretary's wife slammed her hands on the table, her face was green with anger at Liu Zhaodi's shamelessness. She really dared to speak.
Don't think she was blind and didn't see Cuihua flirting with the educated youth surnamed Xu. What a slut, she really thought it was a gold nugget!
She was just bullying her family's Yuanjun (Ersha) for being stupid!
"No." Wang Qiucao said with a dark face: "Just thirty yuan for the betrothal gift."
When Liu Zhaodi heard this drizzle, she was not willing at all. She smiled and said: "Sixth Aunt, what kind of joke are you talking about? The betrothal gifts of the boys from the better families in the team to marry a wife are twenty or thirty!"
"You know it too!" Wang Qiucao looked extremely unkind, "Three turns and one ring, a hundred yuan for the betrothal gift, you..." Her eyes fell on Lu Cuihua, and she finally held back and said: "Why don't you go to heaven?"
"Sixth Aunt, isn't the situation of your family different from that of others?"
"My daughter is wronged to marry an idiot, and...other families don't have this condition, but your family does, right? Back then, when my little brother Feng Yang died, everyone-"
"Shut up!" The old branch secretary who had not spoken all the time suddenly changed his face and shouted.
Lu Fengyang, the only son of the old branch secretary, is also the untouchable pain in the old branch secretary's heart.
After all, it was he who said that his son who was good at hunting should lead away the wild boars.
"No three turns and one ring, no 100 yuan betrothal gift either." The old branch secretary tapped the table with his fingers and slowly gave the bottom line, "One sewing machine, 50 yuan betrothal gift, no more."
"Old man!" Wang Qiucao was a little unhappy, but under the old branch secretary's unquestionable gaze, her voice weakened.
This condition is also the first in the team.
A few years ago, a young man in the team married a city wife, and only a sewing machine and 30 yuan betrothal gift.
Even so, Liu Zhaodi was not satisfied. Before she could bargain again, the team leader Lu Zhenhui sitting next to her spoke up: "Lu Laoer's family, don't be too much."
"Team leader, how did I go too far!"
"My Cuihua married a fool--" Under Lu Zhenhui's extremely deterrent gaze, Liu Zhaodi felt that it was inappropriate and muttered: "Besides, it's not that you don't have money. Why are you so stingy?"
Lu Zhenhua laughed angrily: "Back then, your family only gave five cents, and the whole village only raised 80 yuan. Where did the money come from?"
Only this much?
Liu Zhaodi said shamelessly: "Then I will take a step back and give you 80 yuan for the betrothal gift."
"Your family is starving every day?" Wang Qiucao retorted.
"It's not like Uncle Six and Aunt Six can't go to work." Liu Zhaodi choked.
"You..." Wang Qiucao was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently. He turned to Lu Cuihua and asked, "Cuihua, do you agree too?"
Lu Cuihua was still thinking about how to get rid of this marriage. Suddenly, she was pinched by Liu Zhaodi. Under Liu Zhaodi's warning eyes, she answered a little confusedly: "I... listen to my mother."
"Okay, okay."
At that moment, Wang Qiucao no longer had any expectations for Lu Cuihua, which also doomed Lu Cuihua's life after marrying in.
"Then report to the police." When the atmosphere was a little stagnant, Lu Zhenhui suddenly said, "Anyway, it was your Cuihua who was a hooligan."
Liu Zhaodi was a little anxious: "Captain, you can't say that. How can my Cuihua be a hooligan?"
Wang Qiucao was also suddenly awakened, and said leisurely: "My Yuanjun, if it weren't for the bitch teaching him step by step, he wouldn't be able to do it."
Liu Zhaodi gritted her teeth: "...Okay."
The silent old branch secretary said again: "I have another condition."
"Cuihua can't put a hat on Yuanjun, but if she can leave a seed for Yuanjun, I agree to her divorce from Yuanjun and give her fifty yuan to live on."
She knew that the old branch secretary had money.
However, this is not a loss.
With a grandson, the relationship will not be broken, and she can earn a lot of betrothal money at that time.
Liu Zhaodi's eyes moved, and she said again: "Okay, but the betrothal gift needs to be increased by another twenty yuan."
"Sixteen yuan, a lucky number, but a deed must be signed!" The old branch secretary pondered for a while and spoke slowly.
Liu Zhaodi moved her mouth, but Lu Zhenhui spoke first: "I will be a witness. If Cuihua fails to do so, your family must return the betrothal money and sewing machine in full."
Facing Lu Zhenhui's warning gaze, Liu Zhaodi did not say a word even though she was unwilling.
After all, the old branch secretary is old and will not be in charge of things in a few years. He only has some face, but the team leader is in his prime, and she cannot offend him.
So, this marriage was settled.

"Are you in trouble again?" Zhang Lan, who had just come out of the kitchen, looked at Lu Xiao with his bare chest and half-dry hair, and said unhappily: "Put on some clothes, or you will cry if a girl comes to you."
Although the youngest son is from the countryside, he looks good. His eldest brother is in the army, his second and third sisters are married well, and his father is the leader of a team. With these conditions, he can also get a wife in the city.
Many girls of the right age in the team are eyeing him!
It's not that Zhang Lan dislikes the villagers. If the person is suitable, the parents' morals are not suitable. If the parents' morals are OK, this bastard dislikes the ugly people.
If it drags on, there will be only 24 left. The children of his age in the team can run around.
"It's already dependent on you."
"You are not a child anymore. Your second sister greeted me the day before yesterday and introduced you to a city girl--" Zhang Lan realized it later and raised her voice: "What did you say?"
"Mom, have I prepared the betrothal gift?"
"Three turns and one ring, plus 500 yuan, just barely enough." Lu Xiao said bluntly.
After guessing for a while, Zhang Lan, who couldn't guess who it would be, blushed when she heard this.
Judging from the tone, he is definitely not from the team. Then... there are only the group of female educated youth left, and they are the latest batch to go to the countryside. After all, this bastard had seen the previous ones before, and he never even glanced at them.
And when he went to pick them up this time, the boy happened to go to his grandpa's house.
When they met for the first time, Zhang Lan knew that none of these female educated youth were obedient. There seemed to be one, but he obviously liked the male educated youth who went to the countryside with him.
Therefore, Zhang Lan was sure that Lu
Xiao was being taken advantage of. "Don't even think about it. I don't agree!" Zhang Lan shouted at Lu Xiao's door.
