Chapter 476: Trading My Daughter for Money

"I remember Yin Cuicui's younger brother was called Yin Mazi." Zhang turned her head and asked Li Sanlang uncertainly.

Li Sanlang knew it clearly and nodded, "Yes, that's the name."

"Didn't they say that Yin Cuicui's parents favor their own son? Why did they give him such a name?" Li Mingxia said curiously.

Zhang was a little confused, but Li Sanlang knew the reason for this: "This Yin Mazi's real name is not this, but I don't remember what it was. It's because he had some disease when he was young. He recovered, but his face was full of pockmarks. Later, everyone called him Yin Mazi, and later no one remembered his real name."

After Li Sanlang finished speaking, everyone suddenly understood.

Li Mingxia thought for a moment and said, "This Yin Mazi is ugly, lazy and has so many bad habits. He must be unmarried, right?"

Li Mingxia's words hit the nail on the head. The villagers were not fools. They knew each other, not to mention the people from the same village. Naturally, no one was willing to marry their daughter into the family. Even if the daughter was from another village, they would definitely look at each other before marrying off their daughter. With a bad reputation, pockmarked face, and poor family conditions, who would be willing to push their daughter into the fire pit?

"So this family has set its sights on Yin Cuicui?" Li Mingxia immediately understood what was going on and hit the nail on the head.

Zhang nodded and sighed. It was obvious that she still felt very sympathetic towards Yin Cuicui.

"Someone introduced Yin Cuicui to your eldest brother as his wife. We were all satisfied at the time, and your eldest brother did not refuse. We thought it was a done deal. Your grandmother said she was willing to give a betrothal gift of two taels of silver. I thought it was not enough, but I could go back to your grandmother's house to borrow some. Your grandmother didn't have much money, so she could only take out three taels of silver, a total of five taels. I thought it should be about the same. But I didn't expect Yin Cuicui's family to ask for ten taels of silver. They said that if you don't have ten taels of silver, don't even think about their daughter. They also said a lot of unpleasant things. I can't say it. You know your grandmother. Two taels of silver is already a lot, how could she give more? Yin Cuicui's family also refused, so the matter could only be let go, and your eldest brother wasted so much time."

Zhang still feels very uncomfortable when she thinks about this incident now. She feels that she owes her son. Although ten taels of silver is a sky-high price, two taels of silver is indeed a little too little. She can only blame herself and Li Sanlang for not having any say in the Li family's old house.

Li Mingxia glanced at Li Zhengpin, who had a look of disappointment on his face, and thought to himself, how could his eldest brother have been delayed until now? Maybe he has set his sights on Yin Cuicui and likes her so much that he doesn't want to be with anyone else?

"Then didn't you arrange a marriage for my eldest brother?" Li Mingxia asked.

Zhang was stunned. "Yes, of course. It's just that your eldest brother is a little reluctant. It has been dragging on for such a long time."

As she was talking, Zhang also realized what was going on. Without waiting for Li Mingxia to ask again, Zhang immediately said, "Son, have you never been able to forget Yin Cuicui all these years? Did you not want to get married before because you were thinking about that girl?"

Li Mingxia originally thought that if Li Zhengpin was too embarrassed to speak, she, as a girl, would definitely feel obliged to speak directly. However, she did not expect that Li Zhengpin, who had always been very shy, would nod directly this time.

"I fell in love with Cuicui the moment I saw her. I know my family can't afford ten taels of silver, and I've never blamed anyone. But I can't let go of other people in my heart these years. Mother, if you want to find a marriage for me, can it be Cuicui?"

Li Zhengpin also knew that ten taels of silver was nothing to his family now, but he also knew that all the money in the family was earned by Li Mingxia. As the eldest brother, he did not say anything about supporting his younger sister. Does that mean he should let his younger sister pay for his wife?

But now that the topic has been brought up, Li Zhengpin wants to fight for himself.

"I know that ten taels of silver is a lot for marrying a wife in the countryside, but I will definitely return it all to my younger sister in the future." Li Zhengpin glanced at Li Mingxia, feeling a little embarrassed, but still said firmly.

Li Mingxia pretended to be unhappy and glanced at Li Zhengpin, then said to Zhang in a coquettish manner, "Look, mother, you said that your brothers would definitely protect us girls in the future, and that we would always be a family, no matter what time it is. But before we even split up, my brother already looks down on me and is cheating on me!"

Zhang knew that Li Mingxia was not angry, she just said that on purpose so that Li Zhengpin would not feel burdened.

"You kid, Mingxia is your biological sister. Why don't you tell me why you want to marry Yin Cuicui? Instead, you think about useless things. Hurry up and think about it. If it's appropriate, mother will go in two days!"

"Didn't you say it's the first month of the year?" Li Zhengpin was overwhelmed by great joy, and his voice was a little dazed.

"After the first month of the lunar year, your mother will have to help your younger sister with work. You will also have things to do by then. I guess our family will be too busy to spare any time. It is better to settle this matter as soon as possible. By then, my eldest son will be a man who is about to start a family, and he will be more motivated to work, right?"

Although Zhang said this in a joke, Li Mingxia felt that the effect was really good. Look at Li Zhengpin, he hasn't even found a wife yet, but he is so happy just by having this hope. If he can really marry Yin Cuicui, he would be willing to work ten hours a day.

"In addition to her family's relationship, the reason why Yin Cuicui couldn't get married was probably because of the ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift. Her parents definitely didn't want so much money for Yin Cuicui. They were thinking of using the money to help Yin Mazi find a wife in the future?" After listening to the whole story, Li Mingxia was able to basically analyze the whole picture of the matter.

Zhang nodded helplessly. This kind of thing was annoying, but it was very common in the countryside. It was just that Yin Cuicui's family asked for too much. She wanted to ask for a little more so that Yin Mazi's future life would be guaranteed, but she never thought about how bleak Yin Cuicui's future life would be.

"Yes, that's right." Li Sanlang nodded, looking very disgusted with such behavior.

"No matter what, you can't exchange your daughter for money. This is not something a human can do!"
