"Grandma, don't worry, I can take care of myself. As long as I don't want to, no one can bully me." Chen Xiaolin thought that Grandma Chen was worried that she would be bullied after marrying Yu Youyin, so she could only comfort her.

"Okay, just be sensible. When your aunt comes back at noon, I'll ask her to find more cotton and help you make a few quilts."

"Grandma, I still have cotton at home. I went to the county town last year to exchange for a lot of cotton left." Cotton is a scarce commodity. Uncle Chen's family doesn't have much left, and Chen Xiaolin doesn't want to add to the burden on their family.

"What you have is yours. As grandparents and uncles and aunts, we should give you two quilts as dowry. But if you have cotton at home, you can also bring it over. We will prepare a few more quilts for you. If you have any extra, you can I can make some new cotton coats."

"Okay, I'll send you cotton in the evening." Chen Xiaolin planned to send more cotton and cloth so that Grandma Chen could make her a cotton-padded jacket.

"As for other things that need to be purchased, I will ask your eldest brother to drive a tractor to the county town to buy them after the holiday. You just need to be ready to be the bride." Grandma Chen couldn't help but think of her youngest son again. If the couple were still here, , there is no need to worry about Xiaolin's marriage.

"Then I'll go back first, I have to go to work!" Chen Xiaolin waited for Grandma Chen to finish speaking and ran out quickly. As for the things she needs to buy for her wedding, she will wait until she has time. Then she can just find an opportunity to get them directly from the space. .

Yu Youyin was worried at home all morning today, and finally waited for the good news from Aunt Fang.

"Youyin, are you at home? I've brought you good news."

"Aunt Fang, you are finally back. Please sit down for a while and I will get you a glass of water."

"Don't pour the water in a hurry. I'll leave after I tell you what's going on. Chen Xiaolin has already agreed to your marriage proposal. You should quickly ask your mother to find Yu Xiazi to find an engagement date. ..." Aunt Fang is The most famous matchmaker in the area, she was very familiar with the marriage process. She was afraid that Yu Youyin would not understand, so she explained every detail to him clearly.

"Okay, I know what to do, thank you, Aunt Fang."

Yu Youyin sent Aunt Fang home and then went to the fields to find He Hongjuan. She still needed to handle his marriage.

Although He Hongjuan knew that her second son was getting married, she did not know that her son was a bride-in-law. "What? Aren't you married? Why are you marrying into the family? I don't agree with this matter."

"Mom, I also want to marry a wife, but look at how there is nothing at home? I don't even have a separate room. How can you ask me to get married?" Yu Youyin is actually helpless. It's not that he doesn't want to help improve the living conditions at home. environment, but he was afraid that his parents would ask him to hand over the money if they knew he had money.

"Then we can't marry in! At worst, I'll just let Youwen and Youwu sleep in the woodshed." There are only five bedrooms in the house. Yu Laowu and his wife slept in one, Yu Youjin also slept in one, and Youtie After they got married, Yu Youyin and his two youngest brothers each occupied a room. Now Yu Youyin sleeps in the same room with his two youngest brothers.

"Youwen is 17 this year. He will marry a wife in a few years. The family has no money now. Is there any other way for me besides marrying into the family?" Yu Youyin simply doesn't want to take care of this mess at home. In the future, he can take over and support his parents when they get older, but now they are still young, so they should live their own lives!

"But how will I face the people in the village after you get married?" He Hongjuan was very reluctant to have her son become someone else's son-in-law, but her family was poor and she couldn't afford the bride price.

"Mom, don't care what the people in the village say, as long as your son and I live a good life."

He Hongjuan saw that Yu Youyin was determined to get married, so she could only compromise, hoping that the family he found would treat him well in the future. Anyway, the family he married into was in the next village, so he just had to come back if he couldn't survive.

During dinner in the evening, He Hongjuan revealed that Yu Youyin was going to be her son-in-law, and everyone in the family was shocked.

"Second brother, why do you want to be your son-in-law?" Yu Youtie was the most reactive among the brothers. He knew that his second brother had a lot of money in his hands. No matter how poor the family was, it would be a waste if they didn't have any gift money. To fool others.

"That's right, even if the family doesn't have money now, just wait till the end of the year when the family has divided the money and you can get married. You don't need to be a son-in-law." Yu Youtong also looked at Yu Youyin with disapproval. It's not that I can't get through it, there's no need to be a door-to-door son-in-law, and the other party is still a rural girl.

Yu Youwen and Yu Youwu actually agreed with their second brother's decision. There were so many brothers in the family that they would have no place to live even after they got married. It would be great to be a door-to-door son-in-law, which would also reduce the burden on the family.

"I said, second brother, if you want to be a son-in-law, you can let me introduce you to a city man. It's really not wise to find a guy with muddy legs." Yu Youjin actually looked down on his second brother. He wanted to be a son-in-law. If you want to find a city man, what's the use of finding a village girl? She can't let him live a good life.

"Youjin, shut up. Just mind your own business." Yu Laowu saw that his eldest son was talking nonsense again, so he quickly interrupted him and let him continue. The two brothers would fight again later.

"Okay, now that everything has been decided, it's useless to say more. I have iron, and I still have two cloth tickets in my hand. You can buy the cloth for me after work tomorrow. I will help him in two days. Let's make new clothes. Even though he is the bride-in-law, we still have to make the wedding look nice." He Hongjuan felt that it was a bit annoying to have many sons. They got married one after another in the past two years, and the family was emptied by them.

Yu Youtie and Yu Youtong's daughters-in-law were sitting aside watching the show. Anyway, their second uncle's marriage had little to do with them. Now that he was going to be the son-in-law, there was still one less person to share this little thing in the family. It was too late for them to be happy. .

"Don't worry, although I am going to be the son-in-law, the other party and I also have mutual intentions, otherwise I would not wrong myself." Yu Youyin does not feel that being the son-in-law has wronged him, he really likes Chen Xiaolin , and as long as two people are of one mind, their lives will be the same wherever they are.

"Father, mother, since the second brother is getting married, shouldn't it be time to arrange my marriage as well." Yu Youjin saw that all his brothers were getting married, so he stopped doing it. Before, he had put off not wanting to get married. , I want my parents to spend some money. Now that his family can't come up with money, he can only find a way on his own. However, with the 100 yuan subsidy from grandparents, it is not too much of a disadvantage to get married at your own expense.
