Chapter 0178 The family leader

Cui Niang turned around angrily, "Niu Daniu, if you have something to do or not, you are going to see Brother Luo Cheng's house, right?"

Niu Daniu was so angry that her face turned red, "You...you, you, you nonsense! Sister Jiao Niang saved my brother, and my mother asked me to send something to Sister Jiao Niang. I was not going to see Brother Luo Cheng, I was going to see Sister Jiao Niang."

"Come on, they live in the same room." Cui Niang snorted coldly, "Look at Li Jiaoni, didn't he look at Brother Luo Cheng too?"

"You, you, you..." Niu Daniu was so angry that she didn't know how to scold her, "You are talking nonsense!"

"Look, I'm right? You can't answer anymore, there's a ghost in your heart! Haha!" Cui Niang turned around and strode.

"Sister, she is a fierce woman. My mother said that the girl's family is too fierce and can't get married, so let's ignore her." Niu Dan is young and knows that her sister has suffered a loss, but she doesn't know how to help, so she can only get angry.

Niu Daniu smiled, "She is engaged and has no worries about not getting married."

"Oh." Niu Dan sighed, "I've been so fierce that I've been married. Sister, you haven't gotten engaged yet."

It’s really a pot that doesn’t open to pick up.

Niu Daniu blushed and reached out to her brother's forehead, "She is three years older than me, of course she is getting engaged first. I'm still young, why are you anxious?"

There is a custom in the nearby village that when a girl is over twelve years old, someone will come to propose marriage.

Like those girls with good conditions, someone rushed to come to the door at the age of ten.

When the girl passed the year of the year, the family arranged to get married.

But she is fourteen years old and no matchmaker has ever been to her house.

Niu Daniu couldn't understand why no one fell in love with her.

Her appearance doesn't seem ugly either.

Niu Daniu held the basket on her shoulder and held her younger brother's hand, "Let's go, Brother Luo Cheng is back home, let's go to his house."

When you arrive at Luo Cheng's house, you must pass by Xiang's house.

Xiang Erbao pushed open the yard gate and was about to go to the field to call his father back for dinner. When he saw Niu Daniu and his brother coming, he waved with a smile, "Big Girl, come and find Sister Jiao Niang."

Niu Daniu nodded, "My mother asked me to send a few melons to Sister Jiao Niang."

"The melons planted by my father are so sweet." Niu Dan said proudly.

"Is that so? Uncle Niu Er is so awesome!" Xiang Erbao said with a smile.

"Seibao, why haven't you called your father? Who are you talking to?" He shouted loudly in the yard.

"I know, let's go now." Xiang Erbao waved his hand at Niu Daniu and ran away.

Niu Daniu shrugged and walked towards Luo Cheng's house.

Xiang Lao Lady walked out of the yard, looked at Niu Daniu and his brother, and walked back.

Dabao's wife held the hand of her one-year-old son and was learning to walk. "Mom, does Erbao like the big girl in the Niu family? I have seen him talk to that girl several times."

"He likes it, I don't." Shaking his head to the eldest lady, "Can the Niu girl marry?"

Xiang Dabao's wife was puzzled, "I think that girl looks very smart. Why do you say that I can't marry her?"

"That girl is good, but she has a bastard father! She has a stingy mother." Xiang Laozi shook his head when he thought of Niu Er and his wife.

"Her parents, why are you so arrogant?" Xiang Dabao's wife asked curiously.

"I want a 50-ton bride price, but you're not a bastard? Can our family pay so much money? Your family has just asked for a 10-ton bride price, why should her family want a 50-ton?" Xiang Laozi looked dissatisfied.

Xiang Dabao's wife has a good impression of Niu Daniu. She heard that the Niu family wants a 50-ton bride price, so she stopped talking.

If the sister-in-law’s bride price is too much higher than her, she will be laughed at by the villagers every day when she goes out together in the future?

Besides, the big girl from the Niu family is not a fairy, so why should she ask for so many brides?

"There is indeed a lot of bride gifts. Dabao and I haven't saved much money. I'm afraid I can't help my mother. Mom and dad have saved up fifty taels of money, so that's going to be hard." said Xiang Dabao's wife.

"In addition to the large amount of brides, Niu Er and his wife have another condition." He sneered at the eldest lady.

"Ah? There are so many betrothal gifts, what are the conditions left?"

"After Niu wants Niu to get married, she has to go back to her parents' home to live for half a month every month to help her take care of her brothers. Tell me, I've got married, and I'm going to live for half a month every month. What's this? Anyway, if other families want to marry, we can't afford to marry."

"This...the conditions are really harsh." Xiang Dabao's wife was shocked when she heard this.

...

Niu Daniu took her younger brother to Li Jiao's house.

Li Jiaoniang cut a hole in her hand and was sitting in the main room, blowing a cool breeze and pursing her penis to enjoy her happiness. Luo Cheng washed the newly bought bed sheets and felt blankets in the backyard.

Li Jiaoniang said that you must clean the newly purchased clothes before you can use them.

Taking advantage of the sun, Luo Cheng put a large wooden basin in the backyard, his sleeves rolled up high, and he rubbed them quickly.

Niu Daniu smiled when she saw it, "Brother Luo Cheng is so diligent."

Li Jiaoniang also laughed, "Dude to be diligent, right? My treasure man."

Niu Daniu took off the basket on her shoulders and said with a smile, "My mother asked me to bring the melons that my father planted are so sweet. My brother can eat three a day."

Niu Dan interjected, "I ate four yesterday."

Li Jiaoniang patted the back of his head and reminded him, "You can't eat too much, be careful that your stomach will hurt if you eat too much."

Niu Daniu took out the melons one by one, placed them in the corner, and placed them in a bunch.

Niudan ran forward and counted, "Five."

Niu Daniu smiled angrily, "It's obviously ten, but the five can't count behind the five, so is it also five?"

"Save it at home to eat, why do you give me so much?" Li Jiaoniang was dissatisfied and moved out the watermelon that Zhong gave her yesterday, "Take a watermelon back. There are too many watermelons at home, so I and Brother Luo Cheng can't finish it."

Niu Daniu refused to ask, "I have it in my field."

The little girl insisted on not wanting it.

Li Jiaoni had no choice but to give up.

Thinking that he had bought some candy yesterday, Li Jiaoniang took it out and distributed it to her siblings.

This is a rare thing, and the siblings accepted it happily.

While eating candy, Niu Daniu said, "Sister Jiao Niang, when I came, my mother said that if Sister Jiao Niang got free, she would go to the house for more time."

Li Jiaoniang couldn't understand this.

She and Xiang’s family are next door, and the two families have contacts every day. Even if they don’t enter each other’s house, they will sit in front of each other’s yard and chat and enjoy the cool air in the evening.

"I'm going every day." Li Jiaoniang said.

"My mother means that Jiao Niang asked if Sister Jiao Niang was engaged when she had time. "

Li Jiaoni understands now.

Aunt Niu Er likes Xiang Erbao and wants to marry the big girl to the second baby?

These two children are the same age, and the two families are in similar situations, so they are very close to each other.

However, Niu Daniu, who is honest and young, doesn't understand what her mother means.

"I know." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

Niu Daniu and his brother played for a while before going back.

Luo Cheng washed his clothes and went into the house to drink water.

Li Jiaoniang poured him a cup of herbal tea and talked about Niu Daniu.

Luo Cheng frowned and said, "But, Aunt Xiang doesn't like the people from Uncle Niu Er's family, I'm afraid this marriage will not be settled."

Li Jiaoni blinked, "Oh? Is there anything wrong?"

"Not only Xiang Lao Niang doesn't like the Niu family, but the people in this village don't like it." Luo Cheng said after drinking the tea.

Li Jiaoniang was puzzled, "Although Uncle Niu Er prefers boys over girls and is a little superstitious, he is not a very evil person, right? He is much better than Chun Ya's father's character, and he even gave us a new bed."

Luo Cheng said, "Jiao Niang came to the village late and didn't know what happened to his family. Everyone in the village knows it. After Uncle Niu Er wants Da Niu to get married, he also has to go home to bring Niu Dan with him. The rules in the village are that if a girl gets married, she cannot live with her mother forever, unless she is a son-in-law, but the Niu family does not recruit a son-in-law."

Li Jiaoniang understood, "That is to say, if you marry a girl, you will get a bride price, but you will still live in your parents' home to help you?"

"Well, that's what it means."

Li Jiaoniang was speechless, "If you have this idea in your heart, don't say that. Uncle Niu Er made such a request, which family would be willing to marry?" She shook her head, "I'll do what I can."

...

Luo Cheng washed his clothes, put them in his backpack, and carried them to the Shuishu River in front of the village to rinse.

Jiao Niang said that large pieces of clothing are washed in the basin at home, with less water and small places, so the soap juice cannot be removed, so you have to put it in the river to rinse it before it can be cleaned.

It was almost noon, and the sun shone on the earth like a fireball.

There is no shade by the river, and there is not a single person.

Luo Cheng walked up to a bluestone pier, took off the basket, placed it on the stone pier, and threw the bed sheet into the clear river water to rinse it.

When the second piece was washed, someone said behind him, "Hey, Brother Luo Cheng is washing the laundry?"

It was the voice of Cui Niang, Luo Cheng didn't look back and was busy with his own.

Cui Niang, who had finished weeding from the field, came to the river to wash her hoes and found that Luo Cheng was there, so she immediately walked over.
