Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Mom, are you saying this is true?" Lin Shu was only slightly surprised. After all, they had been together in their previous life.

Liu Xiao'e said as she washed the dishes, "How could this not be true? Your aunt kept it a secret. She only came to inform me and told us to go to her house for lunch after she had already sent the betrothal gift."

"The betrothal gift has already been paid. It's pretty fast."

Lin Shu remembered that in her previous life, before she had to leave Xiaohe Village after the accident, Xie Chunlei and Lin Mei had not yet been engaged, but this time it was earlier.

"It's fast enough. Your aunt likes to compete with me in everything. Now that you have found a partner, her Mei Zi must find one quickly, and if she finds one, she will definitely get engaged before you." What Liu Xiao'e didn't say was that after hearing about this, she just felt very disgusted.

The Xie family is also blind. They gave up such a good daughter-in-law as the youngest son and got involved with Mei Zi, that lazy girl. They will suffer after marriage. Liu Xiao'e is now just waiting to see the Xie family make a fool of themselves.

Lin Shu didn't care. Xie Chunlei was the best candidate for son-in-law for his mother-in-law at the moment, but real life was a matter for the couple themselves. In the end, only the feet might know whether the shoes fit or not.

"Would you like to go to your aunt's house for lunch?" Liu Xiao'e asked.

Lin Shu shook his head: "I won't go. I think there are so many people coming today, so one less or one more won't make a difference."

Liu Xiao'e nodded and decided that it would be better not to go, so as to avoid seeing the faces of the Jie family.

They were not embarrassed, but the villagers were embarrassed when they saw it.

Liu Xiao'e didn't go there until almost noon. As soon as she entered Lin Dahe's door, she was noticed by Li Xiu.

"Sister-in-law, you said it was Mei Zi's big day, how come you, as an aunt, didn't come earlier to help? I've been busy since I got up, and I didn't specially call you, and you've delayed until now."

Liu Xiao'e didn't expect to be scolded by her sister-in-law as soon as she entered the door. Naturally, her face was not very good, but when she saw many villagers coming, she didn't want to be laughed at by the villagers.

"Look at what you said. The reason I didn't come earlier was because your news was so sudden and caught me off guard. Mei Zi is planning to get married in Hejie's house, and you kept it a secret from me. If you had told me earlier, even if I didn't come to help, I would have asked the eldest and second eldest families to come and help you."

Aunt Niu has been looking for a partner for Lin Haiyan. Now that she sees Mei Zi getting engaged without saying anything, she naturally feels jealous.

So, after hearing what Liu Xiao'e said, she took over the conversation: "Xiao'e, from what you said, Mei Zi has never told you, her aunt, about her marriage proposal? You only found out about this today?"

"Who said it wasn't? If you had notified me earlier, I wouldn't have let my two daughters-in-law go to work after breakfast. They would have come to help even if it cost them some work points. After all, they are brothers and they would definitely help if they could." Liu Xiao'e silently gave Aunt Niu a thumbs up and explained the matter clearly.

Li Xiu looked unhappy and explained, "I was so busy that I forgot. The Xie family asked for a quick marriage. I have been busy preparing a dowry for Mei Zi and have no time to think about other things. By the way, what did Lin Shu's boyfriend say? Did he say when the engagement will be held?"

The villagers' attention was instantly diverted to Li Xiu, and they turned to ask Liu Xiao'e: "Her aunt, Lin Shu's boyfriend left during the Dragon Boat Festival and hasn't come back since, right? What arrangements have their family made for the engagement? You won't make a surprise attack like Li Xiu did and give us all a surprise, right?"

"Of course not. Brother Jiu has to go back and make some preparations. I will notify everyone when the date is determined to make the decision." Liu Xiao'e smiled when she talked about her future son-in-law.

"Xiao'e, Mei Zi got engaged, and the man gave her 80 yuan as a gift, five pieces of fabric, a watch, and eight cartons of candy and cakes. Your Lin Shu got engaged, how much did the man say he would give?"

Liu Xiao'e glanced at the nervous Li Xiu and said with a smile: "I don't have the final say on this matter. Everyone will know when the decision is made."

After all, it was her niece's engagement, so as her aunt she should give her some face.

If she told others about the betrothal gift given by Gu Jiu, I believe the engagement banquet today would not be able to be held.

Lin Mei walked in at this time and said softly, "Aunt, Sister Lin Shu doesn't have a watch on her wrist. It's inconvenient for her to check the time. Has her boyfriend ever thought of giving her a watch?"

Liu Xiao'e sneered: "She hasn't even gotten engaged yet, why would you give her a watch at this time? If you want to give her one, it should be when she gets engaged."

Lin Mei frowned slightly and asked with a little concern: "When will they get engaged? You have to know that her partner is from the city, so don't regret it later."

This successfully angered Liu Xiao'e. Li Xiu saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "How can you talk like that? Lin Shu is your sister, can't you just hope for her well? And you are so outspoken on such a happy day, aren't you afraid that what you said will come true?"

Seeing Li Xiu stop her, Liu Xiao'e's face originally looked much better, but she didn't expect that the last sentence successfully provoked her anger again: "I said, you two mother and daughter can't hope for the best for your youngest daughter? How did your youngest daughter offend you that you cursed her on her own wedding day? However, your worries are completely unnecessary. My youngest daughter will definitely marry in glory."

By then, I will be so envious of you!

The villagers also felt that Li Xiu and her daughter were going too far and tried to be peacemakers.

Liu Xiao'e couldn't eat anymore, so she turned around and walked back. She would suffer from indigestion if she ate at such an engagement banquet, so she decided to go home and eat her own simple meals to save her life.

"Mom, why are you back?" Lin Shu looked at Liu Xiao'e in surprise as she walked into the house angrily, especially her expression, which was extremely ugly.

"What else could it be?" Liu Xiao'e recounted what happened at Lin Dahai's house. She was so angry that she started cursing.

"Why are you bothering yourself with such mean people? You'll end up hurting yourself." Lin Shu consoled him, "The more arrogant they are now, the more they will be humiliated later. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Liu Xiao'e thought about it and felt that the youngest brother was right, so she put the matter aside and turned into the kitchen. She couldn't have a banquet at the second brother's house because there were a lot of people waiting to eat at home.

Jie's mother watched the whole process of Liu Xiao'e being driven away by Li Xiu and her daughter. She felt very happy, but she just glanced at Lin Mei and felt a little apprehensive. She secretly thought that she would definitely dampen her arrogance when she entered Jie's house.

At that time, she would not ride on her neck and pee and poop.

Lin Mei had no idea what Jie's mother was thinking at the moment, and was happily fiddling with the new watch on her wrist.

If she knew that her behavior today would dig a hole for her future married life, I wonder if she would still be as proud as she is now?

Lin Mei and Jie Chunlei must have kissed each other. As soon as noon came, the news spread throughout the production team.

Some people think that Lin Mei found a good marriage, while others think that the Jie family is not kind. Not long after canceling the engagement with the first wife, they turned around and got engaged to the girl from the second wife. This shows that they do not take the girl from the Lin family seriously.

I've never seen such a disgusting person doing things.

Some villagers also imagined how awkward it would be when the two married daughters met each other when they returned home to visit relatives during the New Year.

Not to mention the Lin family, the villagers all felt disgusted.
