Ma Lai Fu felt that Fang Tong was really meddling in other people's business. If there were only Tiezhu and no one like them, he could say whatever he wanted.
But now that so many people were here, he could only pretend to speak: "This is our own business, how can I trouble you. I feel very sorry for letting you serve the old man for so many days..."
Fang Tong felt disgusted when he heard his pretentious words and said, "What's the big deal? We've been brothers for so many years. Grandpa Tiezhu is just like our grandfather. None of us brothers would say 'no'."
Tie Zhu also spoke up, "Yes, there's no need to be polite with my brothers. We're all close friends, so there's no need to feel like you owe us a favor. We don't talk about that."
Ma Laifu was speechless now. People had said so much, and if he didn't say anything, he was afraid of arousing suspicion.
I could only bite the bullet and pull the corner of my mouth: "Okay, okay, as long as it doesn't delay anything."
Seeing that Ma Laifu couldn't say anything, Cui's mother thought that since he couldn't stand on his own, it was not the Cui family's fault.
"Okay, I'll increase the betrothal gift to fifteen taels. I'll tell Pingping's father when I get back. As for the date for the betrothal, we can discuss the rest between our two families."
This meant that she had agreed to this matter. Cui Pingping was anxious and kept pulling her mother's sleeve, asking her mother not to be so hasty in deciding the matter. At least she should give her and Ma Laifu some time to discuss it.
Cui's mother pretended not to know and ignored her, but she felt that her daughter was too naive.
What ideas could this Malay Foo have? Filial piety is the most important thing. This old man is not only Tiezhu's grandfather, but also his.
Judging from the current situation, Ma Laifu will not get what she wants today. Her daughter still dares to think of other things, and she is not afraid that she will not be able to please both sides and get nothing in return!
Fifteen taels of silver, stop while you’re ahead!
Ma Laifu knew that Cui Pingping was anxious, but he was anxious and guilty, so he really couldn't continue speaking.
Erwa stood at the door with the prepared noodles and winked at Fang Tong.
Looking at the people in the room who all had their own thoughts, the brothers exchanged glances without realizing it.
"Okay, now that this matter has been settled, if you want to discuss anything else, please go out and discuss it for a while. I'll serve the old man a bowl of noodles."
Although the old man was pretending to be seriously ill, he was still old and in poor health. They didn't want all these annoying people in the room to keep hanging around in front of the old man and affect his mood.
Knowing clearly what these people did behind his grandson's back, the old man must be so anxious that he wants to beat them up. So don't let him get angry just by watching them.
On the other side, only Huang was at home taking care of the children in the Ma family. She was packing up the white linen clothes and the couplets posted at home. If the old man died, all the red ones would have to be torn down.
Gou Daner saw her as soon as he entered the room and knocked on the door: "Sister-in-law, please cook some more food and send it to Ma Laifu and the others. They are all at Erwa's house!"
Huang's face turned sour as soon as she saw it was him, and she rolled her eyes when she heard the words: "So many old people come to your place, and you don't even provide a meal. I'm alone with the children, and you still ask me to cook a meal for the whole family and send it over. Aren't you petty enough? How can you be so stingy!"
Goudan was too thick-skinned to care what she said. Instead, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? These days, after a year of disaster, who would be so shameless as to go to someone else's house for dinner? The old man is still alive. Wanting to have a feast so early, isn't that a bit unfilial?"
He was more shameless and spoke more rudely than her. Huang was choked and went to the kitchen angrily, cursing Goudan in her heart!
There was no other way, she could only make something simple, put it in a bowl or basin, and reluctantly send it to Erwa's house.
At this time, at Erwa's house, Cui Pingping, who was burning with anger, used the excuse of going to the toilet and was dragged behind a big tree in the backyard by Ma Laifu who winked at her.
He looked around and saw that everyone was busy in the front and there was no one else around, so he hugged her.
"Pingping! I don't allow you to marry anyone else, you can only marry me!"
Cui Pingping, no matter how courageous she was, never thought he would dare to do this in someone else's house. She quickly pushed him aside and said, "What can I do? My mother has agreed! You don't want to do it, but do you have any other options?"
Ma Laifu hugged her tighter: "I have no choice, because your father looked down on me anyway, but you are their daughter after all, and you have our child in your belly!"
"If all else fails, we can only threaten them with our children."
Cui Pingping didn't agree to his request immediately. Instead, she was silent for a while before speaking: "If I really did this for you, I would be offending my family. Then what can you do for me?"
While the two were talking, Huang also arrived.
Erwa and Gou Dan'er in the kitchen exchanged glances. Erwa turned and went to the yard, whispering, "Sister-in-law is here! Brother Lai Fu seems to be in the backyard. Go find him directly!"
Huang responded and left with the bowls and plates. She only cooked for her parents-in-law and her husband.
But I don’t want Tiezhu and the others to eat for free.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the backyard, she saw the couple hugging and kissing under the tree!
She was stunned there, and before she could react, she heard Ma Laifu still saying, "Divorce me! I'll divorce you tonight when I get home!"
Cui Pingping was still pushing her limits: "You still have a son. After all, he's your eldest son! Our son won't get as much as him in the future!"
When the family property is divided in the village, the eldest brother always gets the biggest share.
When Ma Lai Fu thought of his son, he was indeed a little hesitant. He could change his wife at will, but his son was his own.
He quickly coaxed Cui Pingping: "What's the big deal? Let him work to support himself and let him farm the land at home. Then he can support our son's education. A family needs someone to work. If you are really unhappy, just make him a farmhand!"
Bang!
Huang threw the bowls and basins to the ground. She was so angry that she screamed and rushed over, immediately fighting with Cui Pingping and pulling her clothes.
Cui Pingping didn't react at first, and was grabbed by the hair and slapped twice!
When Ma Laifu saw his wife, his first thought was that it was over. His mind went blank. He said he wanted to divorce his wife, but he was definitely not thinking about the current situation. Instead, he wanted to be like Fang Jin of the Fang family. No matter how big the matter was, he would handle it in a decent manner. At least on the surface, he would not let others poke holes in his spine.
After Cui Pingping was hit several times, he finally reacted and quickly reached out to pull Huang away. At this time, he was still thinking about not making a big deal out of it. Feeling guilty and panicked, he lowered his voice and said, "Stop it, stop it! If you have something to say, talk it over. Don't let others laugh at you. This is not your home!"
