Han Yue turned around, glared at his brother and asked, "The house won't be built?"
If twelve taels can marry someone back, where will the second brother and his wife live?
Han Jiang fell silent.
Han Yue walked to the wall and stood for a long time. Then he came back and said in a deep voice: "In this case, I will accompany you to propose marriage tomorrow and discuss it with the Cao family. The marriage will be decided this month and we will get married in mid-April. Before that, Let’s spend five taels to build the house. It’s a bit harder and we should be able to finish it in a month. We’ll give you two taels of the eight taels as a bride price first, and we’ll make up the rest in one go before the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Mid-Autumn Festival pork is more expensive, and one pig can be sold for four taels. During the period, he worked hard to kill a few more rabbits and sold them for two taels, thus saving one pig.
Han Jiang's eyes lit up and he said with sincere admiration: "Big brother still has a way."
Han Yue was very annoyed. He had enough money, but he had to live a tight life this year. He originally wanted to eat more meat.
After the brothers finished discussing, they each went back to their respective houses.
Chen Jiao had just laid out the quilt, raised her head, and met Han Yue's big black face.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jiao asked doubtfully.
Han Yue didn't want to talk.
Chen Jiao shut her mouth knowingly.
The couple lay on the bed, and Chen Jiao was a little worried that Han Yue still wanted it. She was really exhausted during the day and had to rest tonight.
But Han Yue just lay there dullly, occasionally letting out a sigh or two.
Chen Jiao was curious, so she turned to his arms and asked again softly: "Did something happen to my second brother?"
Han Yue hugged her out of habit and sighed: "My second brother is ignorant, but I have pearls."
This matter cannot be hidden from her.
Chen Jiao was stunned, is this pregnancy out of wedlock?
"It's my fault for not taking care of him." As the elder brother, Han Yue was angry with his younger brother for his mischief, but also blamed himself.
Chen Jiao could only comfort her: "They are together and you are not here, how can you take care of them? What should we do now?"
Han Yue talked about his plan to propose marriage.
He calculated so carefully that Chen Jiao felt her head hurt when she heard it. She said without thinking: "The house must be built quickly. The gift is eight taels. My dowry is left there anyway. Why don't you take it first?" Let's go and give it to my second brother, lest the Cao family doesn't want us to owe the bride price on credit, and the two families will get into an ugly fight over this."
Han Yue looked at his charming lady in surprise. He really didn't expect that she would be willing to use her dowry to support their brother.
The lamp had been blown out, but Chen Jiao could feel the man's gaze, and felt that this was a good opportunity to enhance her relationship. Chen Jiao leaned against him like a bird, hugged his strong arms, and whispered softly: "You I'm husband and wife, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours, I don't want to see you frown."
For such a delicate and petite woman, Han Yue felt warm in her heart when she said these words.
However, Han Yue still refused, kissed the top of her head and said: "Keep it for you. I don't have money to spend it on you now. Buy what you like. We will have children in two years, and we will have to use money."
A woman's dowry is usually spent by herself or left to her children. Han Yue doesn't want to be the kind of wimp who spends his wife's money.
Chen Jiao still wanted to persist, but Han Yue covered her mouth and coaxed her to sleep.
Chen Jiao:......
The family had no money and no matchmaker was invited, so Han Yue personally took his younger brother to the Cao family to propose marriage.
Cao's father was a strict wife, and he would listen to his daughter-in-law Hu's orders in everything. In addition to her daughter Zhenzhu, Hu also had two sons. The eldest son was thirteen and the second son was just five years old. She expected her daughter to get more dowry when she got married. So I can keep it to find wives for my two sons.
When talking about betrothal gifts, Mrs. Hu excitedly listed two newly married girls in their village. One girl received a bride price of twenty taels, and the other received fifteen taels.
"Han Yue, my aunt's family is not in a good condition, so it can't be compared with the better ones. After you build the house, just pay fifteen taels of bride price." Sitting on the edge of the Kang, Mrs. Hu reported with a smile. number.
Han Yue pursed his lips.
Han Jiang was a little angry. He looked at Mrs. Hu and said, "Auntie, this is a bit much. When my sister-in-law came in, she didn't even have a new house at home, and she only asked for a bride price of ten taels." In terms of family background, Cao Zhenzhen even carried shoes for her sister-in-law. Not worthy, the old godly woman really dares to speak like a lion.
Mrs. Hu glanced at the sullen Han Yue, curled her lips, and said angrily to Han Jiang: "My dear, you are wrong in what you said. Ahem, don't think I'm too blunt. Your sister-in-law had a quarrel with your eldest brother before she got married. The wind and rain spread in several nearby villages. The Lin family had no choice but to ask for the bride price. Otherwise, with your sister-in-law's appearance, someone would marry someone of twenty or thirty taels, don't you think?"
Han Jiang was startled and quickly looked at his brother.
Han Yue said to Mrs. Hu with an expressionless face: "Lin Jiao and I were innocent before we got married. The gangsters in the village spread rumors everywhere. If Auntie believes what others say, it will be difficult for our two families to be relatives in the future."
Mrs. Hu snorted: "Han Yue, what do you mean by this? You come to propose marriage sincerely, and I will entertain you well. If you come here to show my face, then don't blame me for chasing you away."
Just as Han Yue was about to speak, Han Jiang couldn't bear it anymore!
He and Cao Zhenzhen had an ordinary relationship, but for the sake of their children, he took the responsibility for asking for marriage. The old pious woman Hu said that was all, but she even dragged her brother and sister-in-law into it!
"If you drive people away, drive them away. You think I come here rarely, but when Pearl's belly is swollen, just don't cry and beg me to take responsibility!"
The impulsive boy raised his neck and uttered these harsh words, then took his brother's arm and was about to leave.
Han Yue frowned. Although Mr. Hu was indeed too greedy, the second brother should not have said this. How sad would Cao Zhenzhu be when he heard this? It was the second brother who had done something wrong.
Cao Zhenzhu, who had been eavesdropping outside, rushed in heartbroken as expected, crying and scolding Han Jiang: "Try saying something again!"
Han Jiang felt guilty.
Madam Hu and Father Cao were dumbfounded, but Madam Hu was the first to react, staring at her daughter's belly in disbelief: "Zhenzhu, you, you..."
