However, what should be inquired must be inquired about. The people she knew best in the village were the village chief's family. Yue Jiuyue went to the village chief's house to find Xiao Wang, who was the wife of village chief Lin.

"Did you eat, did you drink?" After a few polite words, Yue Jiuyue asked directly:

"Sister-in-law, do you know how much the present dowry is?"

The current matchmakers are all official matchmakers, and Yue Jiuyue is not worried about the matchmaker's problem. It is the dowry, which varies from time to time and from place to place, so she must ask clearly.

Of course, when the time comes, you have to ask the matchmaker, and you have to ask the other party, Yue Jiuyue just wants to know what she knows, so as not to be taken advantage of.

Xiao Wang sighed and said:

"In the past two years, no one in the village has held a wedding, nor have any relatives. I really don't know what's going on now.

However, since the boys in my family have reached their age, I have inquired with the matchmaker, not to mention, the current betrothal gift is really not usually high, I heard that it is this amount! "

Xiao Wang stretched out a finger and said in an exaggerated tone:

"A tael of silver! A whole tael of silver!"

"In the past, marrying a daughter-in-law cost at most a hundred and eighty copper coins, plus dozens of catties of grain. If the family was in a good position, you could buy two pieces of red cloth for the bride to make new clothes. Great!
It's good now, just open your mouth and ask for a tael of silver!That's one tael of silver!They are marrying a daughter-in-law!Still selling a girl! "

When this issue was mentioned, Mrs. Wang was full of complaints.

Not only her two sons have reached the age of marrying wives in their family, if all of them marry wives like this, the little wealth their family just saved this year will definitely not be enough!

Not only that, nowadays it is not easy to marry a wife if you have money. After all, there are almost no girls of the right age in ten miles and eight villages. I searched everywhere.

It's not the kind of girl who knows everything about her, so she can get it home casually, you know, "a virtuous wife rarely causes harm" and "an unvirtuous wife destroys three generations"!
"A tael of silver..."

Yue Jiuyue repeated it loudly, and then asked again:
"The present betrothal gift only requires money, not food or clothes?"

Xiao Wang was choked up by these words, isn't one tael too much?If you want more food and clothes, is that girl a fairy daughter in the sky?
"Well, one tael of silver is enough."

Although, she also knew that Yue Jiuyue was not short of money, but she still wanted to persuade Yue Jiuyue, lest Yue Jiuyue increase the amount of the dowry again, then wouldn't it be even more difficult for the boys in their family to marry a wife? .

"Oh, then I see, thank you sister-in-law!"

Yue Jiuyue hadn't figured out the hidden meaning of Xiao Wang's words, but she didn't plan to give Lin Chaobei's future daughter-in-law too high a betrothal gift. The crowd was angry; secondly, they were afraid that Mrs. Liu would make a fuss, and felt that she, a mother-in-law, was partial.

Although she has never been married, she has heard a lot about the short stories of those parents, especially because of the dowry, so many lovers have no choice but to break up.

Yue Jiuyue said goodbye to Xiao Wang and left, leaving Xiao Wang full of worries.

I don't know whether Chaodong's mother is looking for the third or fourth child of her family, and which girl she has her eyes on, and I don't know what sky-high dowry will be negotiated at that time.

No, no, just thinking about it makes her feel unbearable, she's really afraid that her two sons will be bachelors for the rest of their lives!

Or, go back and discuss it with the child's father, and go to the dental store to buy a child bride-in-law?A daughter-in-law trained by oneself is more reassuring than a daughter-in-law brought back with a sky-high betrothal gift, right?
Xiao Wang thought about it and went back, even if she had an idea, she still felt uneasy.

It was when Yue Jiuyue took a nap at noon and was about to fall asleep that she understood what Xiao Wang said.

Of course, if she knew it, she didn't think about doing anything else, but if the big difference was not bad, she was still willing to let Lin Chaobei's wishes come true.

Lin Chaobei is her son now, and she has to "arrange" his marriage. Now people don't need her to worry too much, they can find a wife by themselves, all they need is for her to go through the motions and help with it. The wedding has already saved her trouble and worry.

Much better than Lin Chaonan!
Yue Jiuyue now has some experience of the mentality of "complete the task" of those who are parents.

Marrying them a daughter-in-law early means that they have become adults themselves, and she won't have to worry about it in the future.

As for whether they will become like Lin Chaodong...

Whatever, anyway, Yue Jiuyue wants money, land, people, people, no shortage of sons to take care of, no need for sons to take care of the elderly, and she doesn't have the idea of ​​asking her son to "die" or "throw the basin", whatever. Burn it, dig a pit and bury it, or just throw the ashes away, she doesn't care about that.

The next day, Yue Jiuyue asked a matchmaker to go to Wang Butcher's house to find out.

Before noon, Yue Jiuyue saw a plump matchmaker wearing colorful clothes and waving a handkerchief, with a bright smile on her face, coming to their house with a twist.

"Ouch! Yuru people! I'm here to give you a happy birthday!"

As expected of a professional matchmaker, with that smile, it looks like there is some great happy event, and others who can provoke them will unconsciously be happy together.

"Come and sit down, drink a bowl of mint tea to cool off first."

What Yue Jiuyue is most concerned about now is Lin Chaobei's marriage. She didn't expect that she just said in the morning that it was not until noon, and the news came. The efficiency of this matchmaker is also very high!

Official media: Can the efficiency not be high?This is the first job in several years!

The matchmaker took a sip of the so-called peppermint tea, and the cool feeling was indescribable in words. She only felt a coolness, which entered her stomach from her mouth and throat, and then slowly spread to her whole body. The heat of summer is driven out from the inside out.

Just one word, cool!

I couldn't help but gurgled and drank all the water in the bowl. The matchmaker was so happy that she didn't want to talk anymore, she really wanted to lie down on the spot and sleep.

But she still has work to do.

"The Wang Butcher's family means that they want to keep their granddaughter for another two years."

This made Yue Jiuyue a little confused, no, seeing what Lin Chaobei meant, didn't he already fall in love with the granddaughter of the butcher's family?Why did you tell the matchmaker to stay for two years?Could it be that he used Lin Chaobei as a backup?Want to ride a donkey to find a horse?

The matchmaker saw Yue Jiuyue's face turned ugly, and immediately explained:

"Then, it's a daughter's family. You can't just agree to it when the man mentions it. You have to be careful."
