Cao Zhenzhu squatted on the ground and began to cry. She hated Han Jiang for his ruthless words, and also hated her own mother for selling her as a commodity. When other people's girls got married, they only needed seven or eight taels of bride price. When she got pregnant, the Han brothers didn't either. In order to lower the price, he promised to build her a new house. She was actually very satisfied, but her mother was greedy and wanted so much.

  She was going to marry into the Han family. Her natal family made the Han family poor, so she wasn’t the one who suffered in the end?

  "Stop crying, don't hurt the child." Han Jiang leaned over to help her up.

  Cao Zhenzhu shook her arms and simply sat on the ground.

  Han Yue saw it and said to Mrs. Hu: "Aunt, it's the second brother who did this wrong. It's just that it's already like this, and our family really can't afford that much money. You see, let's build the new house and give eight more With two bride-prices, can we get married as soon as possible?"

  "Ten taels, not even a penny less!"

  Mrs. Hu said bitterly that her daughter had the seed of the Han family and she did not dare to ask for another fifteen taels, but ten taels was the lowest price she could accept!

  After setting the price, Mrs. Hu cursed Cao Zhenzhu on the ground again. Fortunately, she was afraid of spreading the word and didn't curse too loudly.

  Cao Zhenzhu leaned in Han Jiang's arms and almost burst into tears.

  Han Jiang looked at his brother pleadingly.

  Han Yue had a splitting headache, but finally agreed to Hu's conditions, building a new house and giving him a bride price of twelve taels.

  "Brother, if it really doesn't work, can you borrow some from my sister-in-law?"

  Walking out of Caojia Village, Han Jiang felt uncomfortable.

  Han Yue has been holding back his anger since last night. Just now, his charming lady was slandered by Mrs. Hu's greedy woman. He almost couldn't hold it back. Now his brother comes to worry about his sister-in-law's things. Han Yue can no longer hold it back. , turned around suddenly, and gave Han Jiang a hard kick on the butt: "What's your sister-in-law's belongs to your sister-in-law, you don't have to feel this way in the future!"

  Han Jiang was kicked several steps away by him. He staggered a few times and finally managed to stop falling. He secretly glanced at his furious brother. He patted the dirt on his pants dully and did not dare to mention borrowing money again.

  The next day, Han Yue borrowed a donkey cart from the villagers and took two fat pigs that had been raised in the pig pen for more than a year to the county town to sell them. Pork in the county town was more expensive, and Han Yue was good-looking, so he was a popular pig seller. Among them, he looked the most pleasing to the eye, and the buyer also chose the one that was more pleasing to the eye when doing business, so he sold it for six taels of silver.

  Including the seven taels of silver at home, the Han family now has a total of thirteen taels of silver.

  Han Yue hadn't borrowed money from anyone for a long time, but today, he still opened his mouth to shopkeeper Li who often collected rabbit skins from him.

  Silver is needed to hold wedding events. Shopkeeper Li trusted Han Yue and happily lent him three taels, which he would exchange with the rabbit skins sent by Han Yue in the future.

  The money was collected, but Han Yue was not happy at all.

  On the way out of the county seat, Han Yue saw two city girls wearing red skirts and silver jewelry. They were not as good-looking as the young lady at home, but they were much richer.

  Han Yue secretly clenched his fists.

  The author has something to say: I feel sorry for Han Zhuanghan as I write this. The male protagonist in the next world must be rich!

  Chapter 16

  With the money, on the eighth day of March, the Cao family agreed to Han Jiang's marriage proposal. Because Cao Zhenzhu's stomach couldn't wait, the wedding was scheduled for the end of April.

  After the engagement, it was time for spring planting. The Han family had four acres of medium-grade farmland and four acres of low-grade farmland cultivated by themselves, half of which were planted with peanuts and half with corn.

  Han Yue is a person who plans everything in advance. Before the spring planting, he took his second brother Han Jiang to the river to bring home the sand and stones needed to build a house. The two brothers also went home overnight to get the wood they needed. The mountain was cut down. Han Yue planned that the three brothers would work together for two days to cultivate the land and finish the work in the fields. The third brother would continue studying, and he and the second brother would concentrate on building a house.

  In previous years, Han Yue and Han Jiang would help the rich man's family farm and earn some pocket money, but they didn't have that time this year.

  But at this busy time when every family was farming, Mrs. Hu suddenly came over and asked her prospective son-in-law Han Jiang to help the Cao family farm. The reason was that Cao's father was ill and she did not dare to call on Cao Zhenzhu, who was able to work in the past. She and her two young sons were left alone. Who could she ask for help if she didn't find her son-in-law? As soon as Han Jiang showed a little hesitation, Mrs. Hu immediately said that he wouldn't go, and she continued to boss her daughter around.

  Han Jiang had no idea and went to the Cao family with a straight face. The Cao family's three acres of land had not yet been plowed, so Han Jiang said he would be busy there for two days.

  Chen Jiao watched secretly and found that after Han Jiang was called away by Mrs. Hu, Han Yue's face must have turned darker than coal.

  Ever since the two families started dating, Han Yue had never smiled on his face. What's more, he was not in the mood to hug her at night.

  Of course Chen Jiao didn't mind that, but she couldn't stand looking at Han Yue's sad face, which made her feel tired.

  "I'll go to the fields with you too." Chen Jiao has never been in the fields, but she has learned how to make farm food, so it shouldn't matter if she goes to the fields and does what she can.

  Han Yue looked at her jade tofu-like skin and tender flesh, and said, "My third brother and I will go, and you can bring us food at noon."

  After saying that, he took the third child, Han Xu, out.

  Like a little farmer's daughter-in-law, Chen Jiao fed the pigs first and then the chickens. When she was done, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, so she locked the door and went back to her parents' house.

  "You want to learn farming?" Tian asked her daughter in surprise.

  Chen Jiao nodded, acted coquettishly and asked her mother to teach her.

  Mrs. Tian took her daughter to her own land. The Lin family hired day laborers to help with the ten acres of land. Some of the day laborers plowed the land and some planted seeds. The farm husband and wife had a clear division of labor. The daughter-in-law and daughters mainly helped sow seeds. Tian handed her daughter a small pot filled with peanut seeds. Point carefully.

  Maybe she just got started, but Chen Jiao feels that this work is not tiring at all. It is quite fun to sprinkle the seeds into the soil and then step on them gently.

  "Mom, I know how to do it!"

  Chen Jiao said happily.

  Tian smiled: "Okay, then go help Han Yue and the two brothers. Mom will go to town later and bring you two kilograms of meat. The men are tired these days, so eat better."

  The couple returned to the village together. Before Tian went to town, he sent his daughter to the Han family's farm.

  In the field, Han Yue and Han Jiang were plowing the fields. They didn't have any cattle at home and couldn't borrow one at the moment. So one of the brothers pulled in front and the other pushed in the back to plow out the ridges of the fields first.
