The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter
Chapter 22 Marriage Proposal in Progress
Zhao Guizhi got up early and went to the county town with Yan Zhenshen to buy two kilograms of brown sugar, a piece of coarse cloth, a pot of wine and two bags of cakes. It was almost noon when they returned.
After going back and having lunch, he hurriedly called the village chief to go to the Chu family to propose marriage.
At this time, the Chu family's yard was not in chaos but it was noisy. The reason was that Chu Xiao had emptied the eggs in the chicken coop early this morning, and Chu Fei was clamoring to eat some, but Chu Xiao ignored him and went straight back to the woodshed to feed his little rabbit.
This was a big deal. Rabbits all had eggs to eat, but Chu Fei had none. This guy cried from morning to noon. Li Xiulan couldn't stand his crying and promised to cook for him at noon. But there were no eggs at all at lunch, so Chu Fei started making a fuss again.
Chu Wanwan was annoyed by him and she ate a few bites of lunch quickly before retreating to her room. Chu Laoer sat under the eaves basking in the sun, looking as if it had nothing to do with him. Chu Peng had never liked his younger brother very much and thought his mother was partial to him, so he naturally ignored him.
Only Li Xiulan had to wash the clothes of the men in the family and coax her youngest son at the same time, but Chu Fei was not a considerate person and kept crying and yelling.
Li Xiulan naturally got angry, but she didn't think it was Chu Fei's fault. The child was so young, what could he understand? He just wanted to eat an egg.
She stared at the door of the woodshed and cursed in a low voice: "You damned little beast, you took all the good things for yourself. My poor Xiaofei can't even have an egg to eat."
Chu Xiao cursed but was afraid of being heard, so he raised his voice and shouted in the other direction, "Chu Wanwan, are you dead in the room? Don't you see your mother is busy from morning till night? Do you think you are some kind of young lady? You don't care about life at all every day."
Li Xiulan didn't dare to say anything to the man in her family. She wanted to vent her anger by scolding Chu Xiaoxiao, but after scolding her a few times, she became a little scared and could only scold Chu Wanwan.
But Chu Wanwan has been doing nothing at home. Washing clothes and cooking are all Chu Xiaoxiao's jobs. Now she is about to marry Zhang Xiucai, so naturally she doesn't want to work. But after being scolded by her mother, she still walks out.
"My little brother made you angry, why are you taking it out on me?" Chu Wanwan retorted somewhat unhappily.
"What's the matter? As a mother, I can't say a few words to you. What do you do all day long? You don't cook, wash clothes, or feed pigs and chickens. Which girl can be raised like you?" Li Xiulan was somewhat angry. In the past, when there were people doing the housework, she could be a little lazy, but now that Chu Xiaoxiao did nothing, she still refused to do anything.
"What's wrong with me? Isn't it what you said that the most important thing for a girl is color, so that she can marry into a good family? But I'm going to marry Brother Yi Ju, the only scholar in Anning Village. If I do those kinds of work, my face will get tanned and my hands will become rough. What if he doesn't like me anymore?" Chu Wanwan continued to refute.
After hearing what Chu Wanwan said, Chu Laoer, as the head of the family, finally spoke up, "You bastard, how can you talk to your mother like that?"
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiulan again, "It's just washing clothes and cooking. I didn't ask you to work in the fields. You feel tired with such a small job."
Li Xiulan was about to retort when there was a loud knock on the gate.
"Open the door." Li Xiulan asked Chu Wanwan to open the door in a bad mood.
Chu Wanwan walked towards the door reluctantly, opened it slowly, and subconsciously took a few steps back when she saw the eight-foot-tall man outside the door.
"Are Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu at home?" Yan Zhenshen asked directly without even looking at Chu Wanwan.
Chu Wanwan lowered her head without saying a word, looking shy and timid, and glanced at Yan the Hunter from time to time. She would naturally not marry a Hunter, but seeing a tall and handsome man, the girl would inevitably blush.
Seeing her like that, the village chief also asked, "Are your parents home?"
"Yes," Chu Wanwan replied, but she still didn't move and had no intention of letting anyone into the yard.
The village chief was a little displeased. How come the people from the Chu family didn't know any etiquette at all?
Li Xiulan didn't hear any movement for a while, so she put down the half-washed clothes in her hands and went to check, asking as she walked, "Who is it?"
When Zhao Guizhi saw Li Xiulan coming out, she rolled her eyes at her in anger and said, "Didn't you let my eldest son take responsibility? Why did you come here to discuss the marriage with your Chu Xiaoxiao? Where is Chu Xiaoxiao?"
Zhao Guizhi said this and walked towards the yard, directly pushing away Chu Wanwan who was blocking the door.
The village chief followed in and saw that the situation was not good. He laughed twice and said, "This is a good thing. Let's sit down and talk it over."
After entering the yard, Chu Lao Er sat on the rattan chair without standing up. He just glanced at Yan Zhenshen and Zhao Guizhi, then said to the village chief: "Village chief, my injury is not fully healed, so I won't greet you. Please sit down."
As he said this, he pointed to the chair next to him, not taking Yan Zhenshen and the others seriously at all.
The village chief continued to laugh, but he did not sit down. Instead, he asked, "Is Chu Xiaoxiao not here?"
Chu Lao Er didn't want to hear the name Chu Xiaoxiao at all, but he couldn't curse at her either, so he could only glare at Chu Wanwan and say, "What are you standing there for? Bring out two stools."
Chu Wanwan was very angry about what she said today and just stood there without moving. It was Chu Peng who heard the noise and brought out two chairs. He saw his brother throwing stones into the laundry basin and ignored his yelling. He just carried him back to the room, closed the door and didn't come out again.
After everyone sat down, Li Xiulan snorted coldly: "Since your Yan family agrees to marry Chu Xiaoxiao, let's talk about the issue of the bride price."
Zhao Guizhi asked: "How much do you plan to take?"
"Ten taels of silver." Li Xiulan asked loudly, "Ten taels of silver, and you can take the person away."
Zhao Guizhi was so angry that she laughed when Li Xiulan asked for ten taels of silver: "You might as well just go and rob. If you don't want my eldest son to marry Chu Xiaoxiao, we don't mind. Just pretend we were never here."
"You won't lose out on the ten taels of silver. Chu Xiaoxiao brought six acres of land as her dowry." Li Xiulan said sarcastically, "Your family doesn't have any land. With these six acres of land, you won't go hungry."
Zhao Guizhi was stunned. Although ten taels of silver was a lot, six acres of land could be worth several ten taels of silver. She hesitated.
Yan Zhenshen looked at the Chu family members opposite him with sarcasm on their faces and was not going to agree to the betrothal gift of ten taels of silver. He knew what kind of life Chu Xiaoxiao lived in the Chu family. Even if he agreed, Chu Xiao would not agree with that character.
Just as she was about to refuse, she heard the door of the woodshed open. Chu Xiao said sarcastically, "Are you planning to sell me for ten taels of silver? Li Xiulan, you've had enough of this brick and tile house, right?"
Chu Xiao, still holding his rabbit son in his arms, walked step by step to the main courtyard, "I didn't say I wanted to get married. I'm still thinking about finding a son-in-law to carry on the family line for my father. This hunter Yan looks pretty good, so why not just marry him into the family? The twelve acres of land and the three big tiled houses won't fall into the hands of outsiders. After all, the child will still have the surname Chu."
Chu Lao Er slapped the armrest of the rattan chair hard, which hurt him, but he held it in and scolded, "Chu Xiaoxiao, you bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Why is that nonsense? You said that if I marry, my father's things will fall into the hands of outsiders, so the son-in-law will naturally not be an outsider." Chu Xiao blinked at Yan Zhenshen and asked, "Lie Hu Yan, why don't you just marry into my family?"
