Chapter 62: Propose Marriage Again
The next day
The matchmaker once again happily set off for the educated youth point, and there were still many villagers following behind her to watch the fun.
Sun Miao dressed himself up neatly early in the morning and covered the redness and swelling on his face with powder.
The damn Wang Baozhu almost disfigured her. She would remember this grudge for now, and there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with her in the future.
Thinking of the dowry that He Jianye promised Shen Ning yesterday, her heart was filled with warmth.
It must be said that the He family's conditions are quite good. He Jianye is not too old and does not look bad. The key is that his development prospects are quite promising.
Although he is still not as good as Fang Heng, he is still much, much better than the family that his parents chose for him before.
Sun Miao had no plans to tell his parents about his marriage for the time being, for fear that his parents, who valued money more than anything else, would come to the wedding banquet and demand a betrothal gift.
A woman should still keep the money firmly in her own hands, and after marriage, she should also find a way to control the family's financial power. As long as she goes along with him, He Jianye will be a good match...
Sun Miao couldn't help but think wildly, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she actually felt a little shy about getting married...
There was a commotion outside the door, and Cai Meijuan ran in excitedly, "Here they are! The person proposing marriage is here!"
Sun Miao was delighted, but thinking of Shen Ning's cold face yesterday, he also calmed down and said indifferently, "People are here, so why make a fuss?
Ask He Jianye to wait for a while, I will come out after I pack up."
Cai Meijuan was stunned, and instantly she looked a little gloating, "Okay, then you take your time to pack up, I'll go out and say hello."
Sun Miao nodded with satisfaction. She didn't have much to clean up anyway. She looked at her injured face carefully in the mirror and applied a light layer of powder...
The matchmaker outside the door had been waiting impatiently for two days in a row. If the main road in Hejia Village had not been repaired, which greatly reduced the travel time, she really didn't want to take this job.
Yesterday, I was frightened by that young educated youth named Shen and my waist was twisted. It still hurts today. The more the matchmaker thinks about it, the angrier she gets.
After walking for such a long time, he didn't even have a sip of tea, and didn't even bother to move a stool for himself to rest his feet.
Why are these female educated youth from the city so ungentlemanly? They are not even as polite as the country folks.
Humph, if she hadn’t accepted the gift money from the village party secretary’s family, she really wanted to turn around and leave right now!
Everyone was getting impatient and whispered outside the yard, "Hey, has Sun Zhiqing changed her mind again and doesn't want to get married anymore?"
"How is that possible? She and He Jianye have been in the cornfield for several times. If she doesn't marry him, who else should she marry? Is she going to be a slut?"
"That's true. A woman should respect herself. Look, He Jianye personally brought meat and candy to Shen Zhiqing yesterday to propose marriage.
But today when he came to Sun Miao's place, he didn't even show his face."
"Isn't it? Look, the matchmaker didn't bring anything. Hey, the He family obviously looks down on Sun Zhiqing.
I don’t think Sun Zhiqing will have an easy life in the future.”
The matchmaker listened to everyone's discussions and thought about the contempt He Jianye had shown when he mentioned Sun Miao this morning, and she became more and more impatient.
"Oh, it seems I came at the wrong time. Since Sun Zhiqing is not convenient, I might as well come another day."
Having said that, he actually walked out without looking back.
Wang Baozhu was looking forward to it, and she couldn't wait to urge them, "Hurry up, hurry up."
She finally figured it out. If Sun Miao and He Jianye really got together, she would definitely be in trouble.
After all, Sun Miao, that bitch, is the best at using dirty tricks. If he just blows some pillow talk at that time, he will be in big trouble...
Sun Miao, who was in the house, had been listening to the noise outside the yard through the crack of the door. When he heard that the matchmaker was going to quit, he suddenly became anxious and immediately opened the door.
"Wait...wait, I...I'm free."
The villagers who were watching the fun burst into laughter.
Sun Miao's cheeks flushed slightly. He looked around with gritted teeth and asked in confusion, "Where's He Jianye? I just asked him to wait for a while, why did he leave?"
Everyone looked strange, and Cai Meijuan finally spoke, pretending to be puzzled and said, "He Jianye didn't come, the matchmaker came by herself."
Sun Miao was so angry that his nose was about to be crooked. He felt that he was being severely looked down upon.
How could one go to the girl's house to propose marriage? He himself didn't come, and the elders in his family didn't come either. He just sent a matchmaker and went to the girl's house to propose marriage with nothing in his hands.
This... is this the attitude of proposing marriage?
Sun Miao wanted to throw a tantrum, but as soon as she turned around, the matchmaker spoke in a shrill voice, "Sun Zhiqing, you have to think carefully. The gate of the He family is not something you can just walk into. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever.
You and Jianye both slept... No, it's come to this, do you still care about these empty formalities?
Listen to my advice, women, don’t be too strong-willed, or you might end up not being able to get married.”
She didn't sound like she was asking for marriage, but rather like she was seeking revenge.
Sun Miao felt furious, but her reputation in Hejia Village was already ruined, and if she didn't marry He Jianye, she would be in trouble.
Sun Miao took a deep breath and thought that he had only revealed his identity as the future daughter-in-law of the He family last night, which stunned Cai Meijuan and Wang Baozhu.
If this marriage fails today, who knows how these two will laugh at me.
And that bitch Shen Ning, without the He family as a backer, how can I fight her in the future.
He immediately turned around stiffly and put on a smile, "What are you talking about, Auntie? I just wanted to go into the house and pour you a cup of tea. Did you misunderstand?
Besides, Jianye and I are in love with each other, and we are in love with each other, so I naturally put him first, so why would I care about these empty formalities? "
Regardless of whether her words were sincere or false, she said them in a decent manner, saving face for both parties.
The matchmaker narrowed her eyes with satisfaction and looked at the pretty female educated youth in front of her again.
Good, she is quite clear-headed. It will not be good for her if this matter is brought up again.
A smile immediately appeared on his face, "Sun Zhiqing is obviously a virtuous woman. It is a blessing for Jianye to marry you."
Then he took out a big red envelope from his pocket and said, "This is the betrothal money Jianye gave you, eighty-eight yuan and eighty cents, which means prosperity.
What a good sign! You should keep it well and go to the city to buy some nice clothes while you have a few days.
The He family knows that you are a little girl who left your hometown and don’t have much money, so they don’t ask for any dowry from you.
Just wait until three days later, and then set up a few tables at the He family’s house for a lively feast, and the villagers will have fun together.”
"well."
When they heard there was a wedding banquet, everyone was very happy.
But his eyes involuntarily fell on the red envelope in the matchmaker's hand, which was only eighty-eight yuan.
Everyone's eyes became a little subtle, this......
It’s not that the bride price is too little. This amount of bride price is already the highest in the village.
When He Jianye asked Shen Ning to marry him yesterday, he announced that he would give the highest dowry, a full two hundred and twenty-eight, and the three major items, not one less.
How come when it comes to Sun Miao, there are only 88 left? Isn't this a slap in Sun Miao's face?
Well, but Sun Miao is not considered to have a good reputation in the village. What she did before has already disgraced her.
Sun Miao was stunned where he stood, scratching his ears in disbelief, "How much more? Eighty-eight dollars and eighty cents!
He Jianye is planning to give me a red envelope of 88.8 yuan for marrying me? What about the three big items? The watch, the bicycle, and the sewing machine?"
