A gossipy woman immediately said with great joy, "Forget it, why are you still trying to persuade me? They're so eager to win it over. Anyway, they're so happy with Ning being their daughter-in-law. They even thought it was Tian who made Yan swear the oath!"

Those families who have daughters and have always wanted to marry into the Xiao family are naturally jealous.

Many girls are envious, thinking how wonderful it would be if someone came to propose marriage to them in the future with such seriousness.

As for the Jiang family's eldest wife, Jiang Chuchu was about to cry herself blind. Brother Xiao Yan actually even made such a vicious oath, sob... sob...

If I don’t marry Jiang Ningning and treat Jiang Ningning well, I will die a miserable death… Wuwu… Wuwu…

Anyway, that ugly Jiang Ningning will be Brother Xiao Yan's wife in the future, and Brother Xiao Yan will always be nice to that ugly girl... Woo... Woo...

Mrs. Zhu has returned after having her tongue examined. The injury was very serious and she spent a lot of money on a lot of medicine.

It's swollen and has become a big tongue.

But it still hurt a lot. Zhu just kept shivering and couldn't say a word.

Seeing his wife and little daughter like this, Jiang Changcai was inexplicably angry.

One of them accidentally broke his face yesterday and spent a lot of money. Today, the other one scolded someone too hastily and bit his tongue, which cost him a lot of money again. Seeing that most of the family savings were gone, how could he not feel heartbroken!

How can the qi flow smoothly?

What's more, his second brother's family, whom he had never taken seriously, actually had such a big happy event today.

He is the only educated person in the village!

If I pass the examination and become a scholar in the future, my family status will change immediately!

Then by then, wouldn’t his second brother be the father-in-law of the scholar?

If he was more successful, passed the imperial examination, or even became an official, then his second brother's family...!!!

He doesn't even think about it!

Just thinking about it made him feel like he would be mad to death.

Jiang Changcai naturally lost control of his temper. "You two, do you think money comes from the wind? If anyone hurts themselves again, forget about getting medical treatment from the public treasury!"

Shen Chunhua, Jiang Da'an and Jiang Er'an didn't like what they heard. If they really hurt themselves accidentally, why could their mother and younger sister heal themselves but they couldn't?

But in the end, they didn't dare to talk back to their father, so that was all.

Seeing Jiang Chuchu still crying, Jiang Changcai immediately scolded her again, "Shut up! What's the point of crying? He's already sworn an oath. He'll definitely marry her sooner or later!"

Jiang Chuchu was scolded so much that she didn't even dare to cry.

Jiang Changcai scolded Zhu again, asking how she could have given birth to a little daughter, but no one even came to ask about it. This was going to be a disaster for her.

He also said that even if Sun couldn't give birth to a son, she gave birth to a promising daughter. Even if she was disfigured, she could still marry such a good woman!

Under normal circumstances, Zhu would have retorted, but now she was tongue-tied and could not speak, so she could only become more angry.

I hate the second family even more.

However, the village chief nodded when he heard about this and said, "Ning girl, finally, has finally had her happy ending after all the hardships she has endured."

What a pitiful girl she was. She had no bad intentions, but her face was disfigured for no reason. Then, she was rejected from engagements again and again because of her face and was criticized.

On the second day, at the hour of Si, Xiao Fushan, Tian, and Xiao Yan took the betrothal gifts and went to Jiang Ningning's house accompanied by matchmaker Zheng.

Not only Xiao Fushan and Tian were in high spirits, but Matchmaker Zheng was also in high spirits. She kept greeting and talking to people along the way.

The villagers already knew that they were coming to Jiang Ningning's house to propose marriage today, and some people had already gathered at the gate of Jiang Ningning's yard to watch the fun.

However, most people are curious about how much betrothal gift the Xiao family will give.

These are topics that farmers talk about with great relish.

The betrothal gifts were not carried by Xiao Yan and his friends, but by people from Xiao Yan's clan.

Therefore, before Xiao Yan and the others even entered Jiang Ningning's house, they had already seen that the betrothal gifts were two sets of clothes and two pairs of embroidered shoes for the woman.

Also, two big geese, twenty pounds of bacon, two silver carp, and two jars of ordinary wine, five pounds each.

They couldn't see the betrothal money and didn't know how much it was, but just looking at the betrothal gifts, the onlookers calculated it and realized it must be at least one or two taels of silver.

Many people opened their mouths wide.

You know, for a farmer to offer such a betrothal gift is already a generous gift.

The betrothal gifts of many people in the village were just two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes.

There are no geese anymore, so they are replaced by ducks, or there are no ducks at all.

As for meat, there is some, but at most four or five pounds, not twenty pounds like others.

Maybe fish too.

But there is really very little wine, let alone two jars.

And looking at the fabric of other people's clothes, although it is also coarse cloth, it is not the worst kind of coarse cloth. It can be regarded as the very good among the coarse cloths.

Not to mention the shoes, they are considered to be better among farmers.

There was a happy event in the family, and Sun and Jiang Shengcai were beaming early in the morning, but when they saw the betrothal gifts, they were also extremely surprised.

Isn’t it said that the betrothal gifts are basically the same as those of other farmers? This is similar???

This is obviously a lot more!

But you can't let anyone take it back, as it's unlucky during an engagement.

Sun and Jiang Shengcai were moved again. They knew why the Xiao family did this. This would not only make their daughter proud, but also make them proud. Look at the envy of everyone outside.

Jiang Ningning wanted to come out and watch the fun, but unfortunately, Sun and Jiang Shengcai asked her to go back to her room early in the morning, saying that there would be fewer taboos after the engagement.

Jiang Ningning herself definitely doesn't care, it's just for the sake of the two elders.

Otherwise, others would say that Sun and Jiang Shengcai did not teach her well.

This is such a broken world.

She will definitely be stabbed one day.

Matchmaker Zheng stood at the door of the main hall, reading out the list of betrothal gifts. Whichever item she read out would be carried in first.

After singing two jars of wine, he sang: "In addition, the betrothal gift is three taels."

The betrothal money was held in a red tray by matchmaker Zheng, but it was always covered with a red cloth. Even though everyone almost pecked a hole in the red cloth just now, no one knew how much it was.

Now, when they heard the third and second, the onlookers gasped.

What?

Three taels? !!!

No one would believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes. But after Zheng the Matchmaker finished singing, she lifted the red cloth, revealing three taels of silver lying on the tray.

"Oh my God!" The crowd erupted in laughter. "Xiao Yan's family is way too rich! They actually gave such a large betrothal gift. Didn't they say their family only had enough for next year's tuition at best? Who knows if they'll even have enough money for further education in the future?"

An old lady said, "This shows that they are willing to give, and they really value Miss Ning! Otherwise, who would be so stupid as to give so much!"

The young men present: There is something they don’t know whether they should say or not, they just think that everyone in the Xiao Yan family has a problem with their brains.

The girls present were envious to death. They never thought that one day they would envy Jiang Ningning so much.

Matchmaker Zheng handed the betrothal money to Jiang Shengcai and Sun, and then she said with a smile as bright as a flower: "The marriage certificate can be signed now, the marriage certificate can be signed now."
