Being able to farm: starting from moving to the village and picking up furry
Chapter 123 Acting
It’s not surprising that Mr. Li is so confused. After all, he and his wife are familiar with the families of several of his daughters-in-law.
Except for the second son who has not yet married, and the seventh son's wife who was picked up by the Niu family, they are quite special.
"Old man? You asked someone for help yesterday..."
Thinking that her husband had invited the Chen family, Mrs. Li frowned and spoke, but she didn't say the rest of the words too clearly.
The old man knew the relationship between their family and the Chen family, so it was impossible for him to ask people for help from Huangni Village.
But why did the Chen family suddenly come to help and suddenly call them in-laws?
It was really strange. The youngest son went out again and was the only one present at the broken engagement.
Mr. Li and his wife looked at each other, shook their heads, and looked at the two people in front of them with complicated eyes.
The people who came were from the Chen family of Huangni Village. The old man who was speaking was holding a dustpan in his hand. He was Mr. Chen, and behind him followed his eldest son Chen Jiadong.
Hearing Mr. Li's puzzled question and seeing the couple exchanging looks, Mr. Chen's face turned a little hot.
Because he worked in the fields for a long time, his wrinkled face was tanned by the sun.
He felt quite ashamed that he was not welcomed when he came to help.
But what his son said was too tempting, and his wife had been whispering in his ear all night, so he had no choice.
Old Master Chen was extremely grateful for his dark face. No one could tell that he looked ashamed at all.
The two people who entered the yard had warm smiles on their faces.
As if he didn't notice the expressions of Mrs. Li and her husband, he pretended to be unaffected and adjusted his momentarily stiff state.
"Old Li, how could you call me the wrong name? Our two families had already arranged a marriage for our children a month ago. We came here specially because we heard from others that you had moved to Shangxing Village and were going to build a house."
Then, Mr. Chen, who was speaking, stepped forward shamelessly and said to Mr. Li with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Li, didn't my daughter and your youngest son have an engagement before? You haven't forgotten it, have you?"
Of course, Mr. Li knew about the engagement. He was silent for a moment and did not respond immediately.
Everyone in the family knew that the youngest son had broken off his engagement, even though he and his four sons had been injured while hunting and was lying unconscious in bed.
The second son in the town didn't know at that time that his youngest son's engagement had been broken off.
The second brother knew that they were seriously injured and borrowed money from everywhere.
I also remember that when my youngest son was engaged to the Chen family, the Li family gave ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift. I went to their family to borrow money, but was kicked out.
He also mocked his second son, saying that they were not relatives and the engagement had been cancelled, but considering the injuries suffered by his family, he would not allow his son to be sent to the yamen to be beaten.
It's only been a month and they actually came to my house uninvited and called themselves in-laws.
When she thought of the past, Mrs. Li felt very uncomfortable.
If the Chen family hadn't listened to the villagers' gossip and deliberately raised the bride price, they might have really become in-laws.
"The marriage between our two families was planned a month ago..."
Mrs. Li had just opened her mouth to say the word "release" when she was interrupted by Mr. Chen.
"It was decided a long time ago, mother-in-law, you really remember it very clearly." Old Master Chen quickly spoke.
Glancing at the kitchen vaguely, Old Man Chen knew that his son was right. The Li family had indeed sold the wild boar and must have made a lot of money.
"What do you mean by this?" This time, Mrs. Li didn't endure it any longer and asked directly.
As if he didn't understand, Mr. Chen pretended to be confused. "It means that it's not good to delay the marriage of the two children for too long. After the house is built, we can hold the wedding on the agreed date." Mr. Chen put the dustpan on the ground, "Mother-in-law, is Yanxi here?"
"Not here." Old Mrs. Li's tone was a little bad, and her brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (川).
"Getting married? Old man Chen, the marriage was cancelled last month. Don't tell me you didn't know." Old man Li looked serious and looked directly at Old man Chen.
"Removed?! Oh, I really don't understand what you said, Old Li, who said that? We parents didn't agree to it. There was no such thing at all. Did you hear it wrong?"
Slapping his thigh, Mr. Chen asked in surprise.
Then he turned around and asked his son Chen Jiadong, "Boss, do you know about Wu Ya's matter?"
"Do you know...do you know about the cancellation of the engagement?" Hearing his father's question, Chen Jiadong spoke slowly as if to confirm it.
If it weren't for the fifth sister's marriage, he and his father wouldn't have to be so shameless.
Chen Jiadong's heart was beating fast, and he almost said the word "know" just now.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, pretending to be in deep thought, and added calmly, "I don't know."
It doesn’t matter whether they know it or not, what matters is that they are determined to do so.
The two actors performed flawlessly, and the father and son of the Chen family cooperated very well.
"Then your family's plan to increase the betrothal gift must be known to many people in your village." Old Master Li almost cursed.
"Hey, my daughter was just joking at that time, but I didn't expect that Yanxi really took it seriously." Old Master Chen said with a helpless look.
He did not forget to wink at his son Chen Jiadong, and the man who received the signal spoke loudly, "Yes, Uncle Li, my fifth sister is sometimes a little eccentric."
It turned out that they wanted to talk about the engagement, and Old Mrs. Li finally found out.
"Are you kidding?! You're so outrageous? Even parents don't dare to take marriage lightly, let alone the parties involved."
It sounds nice to say, but if their parents had not agreed, their son would not have agreed directly and would have torn up the engagement in anger.
Noticing that his wife looked very reluctant, Mr. Li asked her to go to the kitchen first.
Seeing that Mrs. Li was going to the kitchen, Chen Jiadong stepped forward with a smile and offered to help. "Haha, Aunt Li, where is the bucket? I'll go get some water."
"You don't need to fetch water. My sons have already fetched it." Old Mrs. Li looked at Chen Jiadong and didn't ask for help.
Her implication was very clear. She didn't need your help and she didn't ask you to help. Just go back to where you came from.
But Chen Jiadong didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Then I'll go to the yard to wash the pork."
Looking at the pork soaked in water in the yard, Chen Jiadong swallowed secretly.
When he heard the word pork, Mr. Chen smiled even more, because he had just seen it.
Normally, farmers wouldn't buy so much pork when asking for help. He was very sure that the Li family made a lot of money.
Now, the good mood of Mrs. Li and her husband all morning was ruined.
To be honest, if it weren't for the rule of not hitting someone who smiles at her, Mrs. Li really wanted to ask the person to leave.
Even if they need people to build a house, the more the better, but some people can be left unhired.
Mr. Li calmed down, forced a smile, and said directly to Mr. Chen: "Old Chen, you must be honest."
