Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

Hearing Aunt Liu's question, Zhao Shangtian was a little hesitant.

It's not that she doesn't want her daughter to get married. After all, in rural areas, 20 years old is considered late to get married. What's more, her daughter is already 26 years old.

But the people in the family know their own affairs. Or the people in the village know their own village affairs.

From what Sha Zhu said just now, which did not mention at all that his daughter ate a lot, he knew about this, and the other party definitely did not know about it.

If I get married and then get sent back, wouldn't that be more embarrassing than not getting married at all?

Even though we have less to eat now, at least we won’t starve to death with the help of the villagers, right?

But when he thought about how his father and daughter had indeed brought a lot of trouble to the village, it would not be a good idea to continue to drag it down like this.

Although that silly boy looked a little anxious, he looked honest after all. And most importantly, he should be able to feed his daughter.

As for rushing back? Just rush back. It's just embarrassing in my family anyway.

But what if? What if he is not driven back? Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?

Not only can his daughter have enough to eat, but the village can also have some surplus food.

Whoever is lucky, he might even be able to raise a boy with great kung fu skills.

At least the kid squatting at the door has a good chance of achieving great success.

Then, with gritted teeth and chopped pepper, Zhao Shangtian uttered one word: "Marry."

The Third Grandfather had expected this, after all, it was his daughter who chose the man herself. Asking Zhao Shangtian's opinion was just a formality.

As long as Zhao Xina is determined to get married, no one in the village can stop her.

"Well, in this case, we have to raise more betrothal gifts for the young man, no, we have to raise more dowry money for Na. We can't let the young man suffer."

As soon as Zhao Mushan finished speaking, Third Aunt and Zhao Shangshu nodded in agreement.

Even Zhao Wenzao, who was squatting at the door, nodded. But she thought differently from the elders. She thought: I should really leave some medical expenses for my sister.

If someone is seriously injured, there will be money for treatment. Otherwise, if someone dies, Sister Na will also have to go to jail.

Just as everyone was chipping in to make Zhao Xina's dowry, Sha Zhu also prepared the dishes.

In fact, Zhao Mushan and others did have lunch, but when they heard that the meal was made by Sha Zhu, they decided to try it, otherwise it would be disrespectful to them.

Then he reminded Zhao Shangshu: "After dinner, go find a villager and get some more. We only have 10 yuan now, which is too outrageous."

Zhao Shangshu nodded to show that he understood. Then everyone got up and went to eat.

At the dinner table, Zhao Xina behaved in an uncharacteristic way. She ate only five steamed buns and said she was full.

When they saw it, they looked at each other.

Well, I really didn't say that. Give the young man some more money, otherwise it would be too unkind.

After dinner, Sha Zhu was dragged out by Shao Wenzao to familiarize himself with the village. Although he was not marrying into Zhaojia Village, this was his father-in-law's home after all, and he still had to get familiar with the people he was familiar with.

In Zhaojia Village, almost all the people are relatives.

The village chief Zhao Shangshu was busy looking for money from each household.

Please note that it is about raising money, not borrowing money.

When she heard that a young man from the city came to marry the village's top martial artist, and that the other party didn't even know how much Zhao Xina could eat.

Every household agreed that the young man should be given more compensation, and then they gave almost all the money they could spend to Zhao Shangshu.

It was still a room where people chatted. Zhao Mushan, Third Aunt, and the author who was as steady as a rock.

Zhao Shangtian looked at Zhao Xina with a serious expression and asked, "Daughter, tell me what you are thinking. Are you worried that our village can't afford to support you, so you want to reduce the burden on everyone?"

Zhao Xina was still a little uncomfortable with Zhao Shangtian's seriousness. After all, her father had never acted like that in front of her since she had mastered her magical skills.

"I have this idea, but I also really think Zhuzi is a good guy, so I brought him back."

Her own father asked her seriously, so she naturally answered seriously. But how much truth and how much falsehood there was in her words was only known to her.

In fact, she is not only the strongest person in the village, but also the most intelligent one among those who occupy the high ground.

Ever since she was locked up last time, she has developed a new way of thinking.

It is an indisputable fact that there is not enough food in the village. It is also an indisputable fact that I have a big appetite.

But compared to the village, even if I tried my best to sleep, I still had nothing to eat.

It’s much better in prison. As long as you work, you will have food to eat.

Therefore, in this age of famine, going to jail is the best way out for today's young people.

But this also requires a certain amount of luck and strength. After all, not every young person who goes to prison can meet a group of kind, nice-speaking and helpful inmates like her.

So, this time when she went to the city, she actually made preparations for both scenarios.

The first purpose was, of course, to see the chef in prison, Sha Zhu, whom Jia Zhang had mentioned. If it worked, it would be the best. I could find a meal ticket myself, and the village could save some surplus food.

If the blind date was unsuccessful, she would use Plan B, pretending to be angry and beat Jia Zhang. Anyway, she didn't like Jia Zhang, so she had no psychological burden to beat her.

Then she could go back to the prison and eat in the cell. This way, she could also achieve her goal. While not starving herself to death, she could also ease the food pressure in the village.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu fell in love with her at first sight. This naturally made everyone happy. After all, if plan A works, who would choose plan B?

Everyone knows that Plan B is usually the last resort when there is no other choice.

Although Plan A also has a small problem, that is, the chef Sha Zhu is not as good as Jia Zhang said, and he has some minor ideological problems, but in Zhao Xina's view, this is completely harmless.

Although he had no actual combat experience, according to the records of his ancestral martial arts, after she had mastered the skills, she could skillfully control every muscle in her body.

She was confident that she could make Sha Zhu so exhausted that he would not have the energy to think about that other man's wife.

And even if Shazhu is like this, he is still thinking about Qin Huairu. She also has Plan B.

Since she couldn't sleep with him, she could also learn a little bit of boxing. She could make Sha Zhu want to do it, but he didn't have the courage to do it.

All of this was done on the premise that she could successfully marry Sha Zhu. Therefore, when she was at Sha Zhu's house in the morning, she agreed with Sha Zhu on everything.

Even when Sha Zhu made a weird request that normal people couldn't even think of, she was only stunned for a moment and immediately followed Sha Zhu's train of thought.

This is why Sha Zhu fell in love with her at first sight, and made the other party feel that they had met too late and had the illusion of a soul resonance.

Including Qin Huairu's provocation at the door later, she was really angry at the beginning, and even wanted to beat Sha Zhu half to death and then go to jail.

But luckily she endured it at that time, otherwise she would never have the chance to discover that Sha Zhu was so stupid and so easy to control.

With her unremitting efforts, the first step was basically a done deal. All that was left was to dispel Sha Zhu's thoughts about Qin Huairu, and then she could live a good and peaceful life.

Maybe I can do some odd jobs in the city, and save some money, and help the village from time to time.

After all, in the past few years when he had practiced kung fu, he had really made the whole village look very proud.
