Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 307 Promise
Jiang Baohua leaned on the kang and smoked a pipe. "It's time to get married. There's nothing wrong with joining the army after getting married. After all, we're engaged, and we'll get married sooner or later. Anyway, we don't have anything to do now, so why not get married sooner?"

Jiang Xingjun lowered his head, his ears were red. Li Xiulan was pretty, and he had always liked her, but she didn't seem to be very satisfied with him.

I originally thought that this marriage was going to fail, but I didn't expect that there was still a chance for it to be revived.

"Ah."

Zhou Guizhi was in a dilemma. "But the Li family wants a 500 yuan betrothal gift. Where are we going to get the money?"

This is a difficult matter.

Just now they complained about being poor in front of the matchmaker. To be precise, they were not just complaining about being poor, they were really poor. Almost all the family savings were used to buy jobs for the eldest and second sons, and they owed Xu Qinghuan two hundred yuan instead.

They plan to pay it off by the end of this year.

Then the matchmaker said, "My dear relatives, this is meaningless. You are not really poor. What is really poor? It means you can't find a penny anywhere. That is really poor. How can your family be considered poor?"
Both of my sons are working. If they really don't have money, they can borrow it. I can support the third son's marriage first, and then find a way to pay him back when he joins the army. Are my family members unwilling to let me go?"

I wish I could tell them to borrow money from Xu Qinghuan. Also, the girl from the Li family is not a fairy, and they actually want a betrothal gift of 500 yuan.

She was trying to compete with Xu Qinghuan, but the key question was, could she even compare? Was it even possible? The two were worlds apart, could they even compare?

In front of her son, Zhou Guizhi didn't say it directly, but she was angry and didn't hide it at all.

"Mom, let's just delay it for now. They've been delaying me for two or three years anyway." Jiang Xingjun was not a love-brained person. He just didn't think about the 500 yuan betrothal gift and was dizzy for a moment.

"You are going to the army soon. Once you leave, you don't know when you will be able to come back. The right thing to do is to get married first and then start a career." Jiang Baohua said to Zhou Guizhi,

"Let's ask someone to talk to the Li family. We agreed on a fifty-yuan betrothal gift back then, but now they're asking for five hundred. That's not appropriate."

In her heart, Zhou Guizhi actually disapproved of the Li family's marriage, but now her son was going to the army, and if they had a falling out, it would easily give people a chance to criticize her.

As soon as Chai the matchmaker left Jiang's house, she turned to Dong Sufen's house. Seeing this person coming, Dong Sufen hurried into the room. Li Fengying almost welcomed her with open arms and even made her a cup of sugar water attentively.

Matchmaker Chai had just been talking so much at the Jiang family that her lips were chapped. Zhou Guizhi only poured her a bowl of well water. Now she finally enjoyed the treatment of the golden medal matchmaker in the surrounding villages.

"Old sister, I came back to ask for a matchmaker's gift. There is a good young man who is a perfect match for your Sufen. They are a perfect match in every aspect." Matchmaker Chai said with a beaming smile.

Li Fengying was extremely happy. It was like a person who was diagnosed with a terminal illness and suddenly heard that there was a doctor who could cure the disease. There was no reason for him to give up.

"Old sister, tell me, where are you from?"

"He's a young man from the mountains. Needless to say, he's very handsome, comparable to Jiang Xingye from your village. He works hard, but there's one flaw..."

Even if everything was good, it wouldn't be his turn to be their son-in-law. Li Fengying wasn't surprised at all, but mentally prepared. "Just tell me straight, why are you hiding it?"

"You know, I never hide anything. One is one and two is two. We will always live together in the future. I will not do anything deceiving or deceiving."

Matchmaker Chai took a big sip of the sugar water and wiped her lips. "If you say this is bad, it's not that bad. These days, everyone is the same. In one word, poor." Every family was poor these days, so Li Fengying was not surprised. "Does your family still owe money to the production team?"

In the countryside, if people owed debts, they usually owed them to the production team.

"Not that he's in debt. I mean, that young man is just poor. But then again, if he weren't poor, he wouldn't have ended up being someone's son-in-law, right?"

"That's right." Li Fengying was a little impatient. "Come to think of it, what's this person's name? Where is he from?"

"I'll tell you my name first. It's Ye Quangui..."

Before Chai Matchmaker could finish her words, Dong Gensheng, who was sitting by the door smoking, suddenly stood up and picked up a broom. "Ye Quangui? The Ye Quangui from the mountains who beat a woman to death and bought Jiang Xingyong's ex-wife?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Matchmaker Chai smiled awkwardly, "Ah, you bought Jiang Xingyong's wife? I really didn't know about this. Oh, I was also deceived..."

Dong Gen was so angry that he was fuming. He raised his broom and hit Chai Matchmaker. "You blind, evil-hearted woman, how dare you cheat my daughter like this? Get out! Get out! From tonight onwards, don't come to my Shangjiang Brigade anymore. Every time you come, I'll beat you up."

Li Fengying couldn't stop him and stamped her feet in anxiety. If she offended the matchmaker, it would be like throwing her daughter's reputation on the ground and letting people step on it. Everyone knew that the matchmaker had no bottom line when it came to her words.

After being beaten several times, Matchmaker Chai was extremely angry. She ran out of the Dong family yard and stood on the road, cursing, "You old thing who will never give birth to a son, you deserve it. You only have a dark-skinned, big and strong girl in your family, how can you expect to marry a rich husband?"

I'm not saying anything else, you're only suitable for a lame or blind man, and you're still dreaming of finding a healthy man to be your son-in-law..."

Dong Gen was so angry that he changed his shovel and started hitting people. Onlookers rushed forward to persuade him, "Uncle Gensheng, forget it. It's not good to get someone killed."

"Shut up!" Jiang Xingyong came over and grabbed Chai Matchmaker by the collar, "Where are you from? You're like a mad dog, running to the Shangjiang Brigade to make trouble?
"Uncle Gensheng, how dare you scold him? He's an old hero who came back from the battlefield. If you, an old hag, scold him again, I'll tear your mouth off!"

"What does it have to do with me whether he goes to the battlefield or not? Who asked him to hit me?" Chai the matchmaker was really afraid of Jiang Xingyong. This man was big and strong and looked very fierce, and he was even pinching her neck.

"With your stinky mouth, he was merciful not to smash your mouth. Get out!" Jiang Xingyong threw the man to the ground, lifted his clothes and wiped his hands, as if the other person's clothes were very dirty.

Matchmaker Chai trotted out of the Shangjiang Brigade's territory before she spat viciously and started cursing. However, she was the only one listening now.

Jiang Xingyong sent the man away and went back. They were all from the same village, so no one would take it to heart if he helped them.

But he didn't notice that two pairs of eyes had been following him for a long time. It was not until he turned the corner and the grove of trees blocked his figure that Dong Sufen withdrew her gaze.

Dong Gensheng had an argument with Li Fengying as soon as he came back. "Looking for someone to marry you, why not someone of this character? Is he a human being? He's a beast. I would rather keep my daughter at home and raise her for the rest of her life than have that kind of person as my son-in-law."

Li Fengying was also very angry. She could only blame herself for not giving birth to a son, which affected her daughter and made her husband childless.

Dong Sufen pursed her lips, not knowing what to say, and turned and went into the house.

Jiang Xingye, on the other hand, looked at the Dong family, then at his second brother, and became thoughtful.
