The bad man who is a womanizer, go on a blind date in a hurry

"Why can't this marriage be accomplished?"

Uncle Lu and brother-in-law asked in unison.

Zhang's father smiled and said, "Brother Lu, let's be frank. We all know what kind of person your Er Gouzi is. We are really worried about marrying our son to him."

The three members of the Lu family felt a jolt in their hearts at the same time.

Are you fooled by Ergouzi's reputation again?

Father Lu said quickly: "Father Zhang, that's all in the past. Now my daughter has changed for the better, and is better than other girls!"

The eldest brother-in-law also hurried to help out, "Yes, Er Gouzi is now capable and makes money, and she has her own business in the city. Don't look at her as a slacker in the past, but she has completely changed now. Marry her, and you will have a good life in the future!"

The two elders of the Zhang family exchanged glances, and Father Zhang said slowly, "I hope so. However, since my family is taking the risk to marry our son off, should we ask for the bride price?"

Lu Yao thought: What does "raise" mean? Are you trying to raise the betrothal gift? Ten taels of silver is too little?

My eldest brother-in-law is a matchmaker and is no stranger to this kind of thing.

Sometimes, when the two families involved in a blind date have reached an agreement, they will renegotiate the issue of the bride price.

However, the Lu family offered a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver, which was already extremely high among ordinary people. What else could be added?

"Hey, Father Zhang, if we offer two taels of betrothal money like everyone else, it's not impossible to add a little more.

But my family has paid ten taels, which is more than what the son of the scholar in the city has paid. We are already top-notch, so why should we raise any more?" The eldest brother-in-law was very dissatisfied.

"I say to the Zhang family, you are being too unkind. Ten taels of silver is already the maximum you can give. Go and ask around, who among the ordinary people can afford to pay that much money for their children?

My family has done their best, and there is no way to increase the betrothal gift money." Father Lu was very angry.

He had helped his children marry six husbands in the past, and they had also discussed the dowry.

But as my eldest brother-in-law said, if the betrothal money was one or two taels of silver, there would still be room for negotiation. Now the Lu family has offered ten taels, and the other party still thinks it is not enough.

Isn't this just raising the price and selling off your son?

If this wasn't a blind date, Uncle Lue would have wanted to scold me.

Lu Yao thought for a moment and interrupted, "How much do you want?"

The two elders of the Zhang family exchanged glances again, and Father Zhang said, "Twenty taels of betrothal money!"

They had inquired before, and found out that the reward for Ergouzi killing the tiger was twenty taels of silver.

If there was no reward money, the Lu family would definitely have to prepare money for their children to get married, but with this reward money, isn’t it just extra money?

In other words, the Lu family could definitely come up with at least twenty taels as a betrothal gift. What they wanted was definitely not beyond the Lu family's ability to bear.

"What!" When Uncle Lu and his brother-in-law heard that the other party actually wanted twenty taels of silver, they screamed at the same time, and Uncle Lu even jumped up from the bench!

They actually dared to ask for twenty taels!

Uncle Lu wanted to storm off on the spot, but when he looked at Lu Yao beside him, he knew that if he couldn't find a husband, he would either be exiled or fined.

Exile is equivalent to death, and if you are fined, you have to pay sixty taels of silver for nothing.

Compared to this, twenty taels of silver doesn't seem like a lot.

Think about how difficult it is for a child to find a husband. In the past, other families would just send the child away. Although the Zhang family is not very fair in raising the price, they are willing to marry after all.

For the sake of his daughter, Uncle Lu suppressed his anger, saved his face, sat down again, and patiently bargained with the two elders of the Zhang family.

The two elders of the Zhang family exchanged victorious looks.

They had already found out that it was very difficult for this Ergou to find a blind date and no one was willing to marry her.

Moreover, she was about to turn twenty years old. According to the iron law of the court, she would either be exiled to do hard labor or the Lu family would pay her a fine of sixty taels.

The Lu family definitely doesn’t have sixty taels of silver.

But taking twenty taels is definitely no problem.

They are not greedy and don't ask for much.

"Twelve taels of silver, no more! We still have to host a banquet, what doesn't cost money?"

"Brother Lu, you really can't be missing. It's not easy for my family to raise a son. I don't know what life will be like if he marries your son!"

"Zhang family elders, if the child is born, we will be a family in the future. Won't all the money be in the same pot?

You guys have ripped my family apart, so your son won't be able to enjoy any happiness even if he marries into your family!"

"I heard that your son likes to beat people up. What if my son gets beaten to death? Wuuuuuu!"

The room was in chaos.

Uncle Lu + Brother-in-law VS Mother Zhang + Uncle Zhang

Looking at the four people arguing over the amount of the bride price, Lu Yao suddenly began to doubt her life.

who I am? Where am I? What am I doing?

She turned to Zhang's relatives and friends.

While the four elders were discussing the bride price, the other two husbands of the Zhang family took the rest of the children out.

Now only young Zhang and his two older sisters are left.

Young Master Zhang's face was red, and it was unclear whether it was because of shyness or anxiety or anger.

Anyway, she just blushed, lowered her head, and twisted the handkerchief in her hand.

I guess he was in turmoil.

The two older sisters seemed to be spectating a show, watching the adults' "war" with great interest.

"Hey, what are you two so happy about?" Lu Yao asked the two girls, "Don't you feel sorry for your brother? He hasn't even married yet. His parents are making such a fuss. What will he do if he's looked down upon by his wife's family in the future?"

"What does that have to do with us?" One of the sisters rolled her eyes at Lu Yao with a bad attitude.

Lu Yao thought to herself: Hey, you are just too young now, you don’t know my good name!

"Brother should have married us to earn the bride price! Hey, the bride price has risen to fourteen taels!" another girl said excitedly, pointing at the four adults over there.

Lu Yao listened carefully and saw that her father and eldest brother-in-law had already increased the betrothal money to fourteen taels of silver.

But the other party just held on to the twenty taels and refused to give in.

Lu Yao saw that beads of sweat were already appearing on the heads of her father and brother-in-law. While her father was talking, he was rubbing his chest vigorously with his hand.

Bargaining is really hard.

"Increase it a little more! It will be 20 taels!" The first sister silently cheered for her parents, "Otherwise, Daddy said that if it's less, we won't be able to build a big tiled house!"

Lu Yao was shocked.

"Of course! Parents said that the dowry for you and me in the future must come from here. We can't afford less!" Another sister also agreed.

Do children speak without fear? Children often tell the truth.

Lu Yao finally understood why the Zhang family was after her betrothal money.

"Brother, tell me what's on your mind." Lu Yao stood in front of little Zhang Langjun and put her hands on her hips.

The huge shadow enveloped young Mr. Zhang.
