After the Republic of China

In the cramped main room, the fire is shining, and the faces lined with it are uncertain.

Uncle Luo looked at the anxious Tian Wanmei calmly, and didn't mention the marriage, nor the naughty third son.

He just said: "Don't worry, my cousin only said that you shouldn't run away from home and make your parents worry, but he didn't say that he couldn't find a way to help you."

This word?Tian Wanmei blushed in embarrassment, bowed her head and stopped talking.

Uncle Luo saw that she was quite sensible, so he said again: "You voted in such a hurry, you have to explain the specific things clearly so that we can make a conclusion."

The hope that Tian Wanmei had just raised suddenly faded, and she hurriedly opened her mouth to speak.

Uncle Luo didn't want to waste time with her, so he stopped him directly: "Sister Wan, don't rush to talk, listen to uncle first."

Tian Wanmei was a little stunned by being interrupted several times by the amiable Uncle Luo in the past. At Luo's house, she knew that only Uncle Luo could rely on, so she obediently remained silent.

At the beginning of the conversation, Uncle Luo simply didn't pretend that he didn't know the whole thing.

He stared directly into Tian Wanmei's eyes, and asked, "Sister Wan, how much gambling debt does your elder brother owe? What exactly do your parents say about your matter? Anyway, tell my cousin the truth so that he can think about it .”

This sounds a bit embarrassing, but it is indeed the truth.

Uncle Luo's sincerity caught a caring person by surprise.

Tian Wanmei was surprised by his cousin's knowledge, and was a little flustered, wondering how much his cousin knew?Her mind was spinning rapidly, and her face was flushed.

Her blushing face makes people who don't know it feel ashamed of her.

But the Luo family in the room had already experienced Tian Wanmei's fickleness today, so they didn't think much about it, just waiting for her to make a move.

Tian Wanmei was considered clever today but was misled by her cleverness.

However, she has always been clear-headed, and she would not ask how her cousin knew this stupidly.

She thought about it for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Brother owes San Fazi 130 yuan in gambling debts, so, so,..."

"What?!" Except for Luo Congbai, Qi Qi took a deep breath.

As far as the Tian family is concerned, there is not a single ocean left in a year.Moreover, when the year is not good, you have to pay on credit. 130 oceans are like a mountain.

In fact, don't talk about the Tian family, just talk about your own family. Although there are some fields, it doesn't mean that you can take out the 130 oceans.

Uncle Luo was deeply powerless.

Aunt Luo was afraid that the old man would get excited, so she agreed to pay off the gambling debt for others, and looked at the old man extremely nervously, her heart beating violently.

You know, even if her family has a little savings, it's the hard-earned money of digging food in the ground and braving the wind and snow. When the harvest is not good, you have to fight famine. This money is life-saving money.

Knowing that her words shocked the Luo family, Tian Wanmei was afraid that the Luo family would let go, so she hurriedly said: "Cousin, I hope you can save me, I will work more later, I am good at sewing, I will find a tailor shop to help me earn money."

Mrs. Luo sneered, no matter how good her needlework is, can she earn more than 100 yuan?

Obviously, the rest of the Luo family didn't believe it either.

Seeing this, Tian Wanmei knew that the previous words were useless, so she hurriedly said: "I can still go to the fields to grow vegetables, and I can also earn money by helping my cousin and sister-in-law to sell vegetables. Cousin, you, you should do it."

Everything should be done, and thanks to what she said, if what she did could really make money, why didn't she help Tian's family repay the 130 yuan of gambling debt?The Luo family shook their heads in disappointment.

Uncle Luo glanced at Tian Wanmei with a sigh, and said indifferently: "Sister Wan, how do you think my cousin can save me?"

Tian Wanmei didn't think her request was unreasonable. In her eyes, the Luo family was not poor.

Then, she blinked her eyes a few times, blushed and said, "I thought, if my second cousin doesn't dislike it, I will stick to the earlier agreement, and my cousin will take the 130 yuan as a dowry, okay? "

There is no shame in saying this. Where did she get the confidence that Luo Congbai and even the Luo family would not despise her?

Luo Congbai was still not angry, but the rest of the Luo family turned dark.

Uncle Luo knew that his wife was really angry this time, so he hurriedly stopped what his wife was about to say.

He didn't say any other nonsense, he just said: "Who would marry a daughter-in-law with such a large gift? Sister Wan, my cousin is not a rich man."

The dowry cost 130 yuan. Tian Wanmei also knew that her request was a bit high, but she didn't have the money in front of her eyes. Her brother's gambling debts couldn't be repaid, and the family couldn't survive. That person, that person will definitely pester her .

So, after thinking about it, Tian Wanmei didn't care about anything else, she lowered her voice and said, "Then less, as long as I can pay off some gambling debts, my parents will think about my affairs again, cousin!"

Seeing her as a woman so shameless, Uncle Luo really felt that he had misunderstood someone, and said even more lukewarmly: "Let's not talk about money first, my cousin only asks you, where did our two families come to agree?"

Tian Wanmei said 'uh', and looked at Uncle Luo anxiously, "Cousin, cousin, you..."

Her shy look, which made her want to talk, made people misunderstood and angry.

Uncle Luo didn't tolerate it directly, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Wan, my cousin didn't say anything to decide your intention to be a daughter-in-law, but at the beginning, your parents didn't accept our intention."

Uncle Luo's words touched the hearts of the Luo family, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Tian Wanmei lowered her head and said nothing.

Uncle Luo looked at her, feeling very tired, he paused for a moment, and then continued sternly: "Sister Wan, what you said just now was very inappropriate, don't say it later, otherwise, my cousin will really come out." I can't do it anymore."

Uncle Luo's words are really not a threat, he has always disliked people who are unclear.

What?After hearing Uncle Luo's words, Tian Wanmei felt a little weak.

She nodded and came to Luo's family because of the eagerness of Luo's family to treat her, and the desire to marry her at the beginning.

If the Luo family had no such intentions, how could she ask others to repay such a large gambling debt?Even if he knew that the Luo family was rich, there was nothing he could do.

Seeing that she looked uncomfortable, Aunt Luo really didn't know where Tian Wanmei's confidence came from, so she guessed that she would like her as her daughter-in-law?It's all been said for a while, why is she still looking unbelievable.

Fearing that she would have something else on her mind, Aunt Luo immediately followed up and said, "That's right. We wanted to tell you to be our daughter-in-law earlier, but it's a pity that your mother didn't agree."

Mrs. Luo hurriedly agreed, "No, I was also there at the time."

Tian Wanmei pursed her lips and stopped talking.

"Not only that, but your mother also extorted a lot of money from us for this unfounded thing." Aunt Luo frowned, and said directly: "You followed, don't you know?"

Probably because she was too angry, Aunt Luo almost couldn't speak.After a break, she said again: "For your reputation, and your old friendship, our family endured this."

Back then, when the Tian family came to make trouble, they said nonsense regardless, because the Luo family delayed their daughter's marriage.Uncle Luo and his wife couldn't laugh or cry.
