Chapter 241
Zhao was illiterate and slow in counting. She muttered and counted for a long time, and barely figured out what Yang Liu said. Although she also knew that the situation Yang Liu said would not necessarily happen, it was indeed possible.

In contrast, it is a good deal to sell it to the villagers at a price of twelve cents a catty at home. Seeing that there are still so many people around the yard clamoring to buy meat, even if they kill a pig, they can sell it all.

Mrs. Zhao figured it out, and stopped making trouble, and told Mrs. Cao to boil the hot water that would scald the pig hair. She called Yang Mancang and a few men to go to the mountain to catch pigs.

Seeing Mrs. Zhao walking in front of her in a hurry, Mrs. Cao said with a smile: "Her third aunt can't settle accounts, but she does a good job of killing pigs. If I invite a butcher to help our family kill pigs today, I really can't say that." One more kill will kill it."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she also smiled and said, "Well, from this point of view, it's not in vain to give her two catties of meat from a pig."

The people in the room were chattering, when they suddenly heard a voice from the door: "Grandma, auntie, your family is killing pigs today."

When everyone looked up, it turned out that Yingzi had come.

Yang Liu rushed to the door and welcomed Yingzi into the house, and smiled back to what she said just now: "Yes, sister Yingzi, Chinese New Year is almost here, and a batch of pigs in our pigsty have to be killed."

Yingzi took Yang Liu's hand and said in a slightly angry tone, "Then no one called me, I can come over and help you."

Mrs. Cao pulled Yingzi to sit beside her, and said with a smile, "There are enough people in the family, so why do you need to work hard? Just come and play."

Seeing the harmony between Cao and Yingzi, the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Liu smiled and joked with Cao: "Sister-in-law, if you want Yingzi to do it, let her do it. She will be your own family in a few days, and she is so polite." What to do."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Liu seemed to think of something suddenly, and asked Mrs. Cao: "By the way, what date is Yingzi and Qingfeng's marriage scheduled for? It has always been said to be before the Chinese New Year, and we have not been told the exact date. We need to be notified earlier, so that my family and I can come over earlier to help with work."

Cao Shi suddenly patted his forehead, and said to Liu Shi: "It's scheduled for 26, and I kept saying that I would notify you. I'm busy at home, so I forgot."

Mrs. Liu nodded, and then asked Mrs. Cao: "Then do we have to set up wine this time? How many tables are there? Shall we do what we can do a day or two in advance?"

Mrs. Cao thought for a while, and said: "You don't need to prepare in advance, just come on the day you get married. When we got engaged, we invited people from the village. This time, we will not invite people from the village. We will invite some relatives and good friends to eat. Just a wedding, I reckon there are four tables on our side."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cao looked at Yingzi with some displeasure and asked, "Yingzi, how many tables do you have over there? Why haven't your parents come to tell me about this?"

Yingzi looked at Cao Shi with an apologetic smile, her lips twitched slightly, and she seemed to have something to say, but she didn't say it in the end, she just bit her lower lip, with a rather embarrassed look on her face.

A discerning person can tell that Yingzi has something to say at a glance.

Mrs. Cao glanced at Yingzi and said calmly, "Yingzi, do your parents have something to tell you?"

Yingzi bit her lip and glanced at Mrs. Cao, then said softly, "Auntie, there are a lot of things going on at my house recently, my parents told you to come to our house when you have time, and then we can discuss it carefully."

As soon as Yingzi's voice fell, Cao immediately lost face, looked at Yingzi and said coldly: "What do you mean, this is a big Chinese New Year, and your family has a lot of things. Is our family okay?"

Yingzi was silent for a while, before stammering out: "No... no, my mother said that the man goes to the woman's house to discuss the marriage, if they come to your house to talk about it, they are afraid of being laughed at. "

Cao was originally very dissatisfied with Yingzi's family asking them to pay for the wedding, but now seeing that Yingzi's parents still took Joe for such a trivial matter, Cao was completely angry.

She stood up angrily, pointed at Yingzi and said, "Then why aren't you afraid of being laughed at when your family asked my family to pay for your wedding reception, and even secretly told Qingfeng about this matter."

When it comes to this matter, Yingzi is at a loss, and Yingzi is naturally not good at answering. In addition, Yingzi is not a person who can quarrel. When asked by Cao, he didn't even say a word, so he had to keep his head down. stand aside.

Cao looked at Yingzi like this, and felt even more angry: "Hey, Yingzi, I would like to ask you, what do your parents mean by this? Do they have other ideas about this marriage? If so, Say it directly, don't be so awkward, I am upset when I see this kind of person who takes advantage of others and likes to take Joe."

Thinking that Yingzi was dissatisfied with Cao's slander of her parents, she raised her head and looked at Cao, speaking louder than before: "Auntie, my mother didn't say that she has any objections, and this makes your man's family go to the woman's house to discuss marriage. , Isn't it the rule for us to get married here?"

Cao was dissatisfied with Yingzi's silence just now, and even more dissatisfied with Yingzi's talking back to her. Seeing that Yingzi's tone was different from just now, she became even more angry.

Pointing at Yingzi, she yelled disdainfully: "Are you telling me the rules? Yes, then everything will be done according to the rules. On the wedding day, the relatives of the family will greet each other, and the banquets will be held separately. I won't serve you anymore." Woolen cloth."

As Cao Shi said, she planned to look like she was giving up the pick.

Regarding the matter of Yingzi, although Yang Liu felt that Cao's attitude towards Yingzi was incorrect, what Cao said was not unreasonable.

In fact, according to Cao's personality that she usually picks her family members to death, she can agree to pay for the banquet of Yingzi's family, which is considered a very accommodating marriage.

That is to say, Yang Mancang of the Yang family is kind, and Yang Liu felt that there was no need to haggle over such a small amount of money, so he tried his best to persuade the Cao family to agree to this matter.

In all fairness, in ordinary people's homes, most country women are not capable of such generosity.

There are few people in the countryside who don't pay much attention to money, and would like to split a penny into two halves to spend, not to mention that the money for the banquet this time is not too old or young.

Now that the Cao family can accommodate in this way, shouldn't Yingzi's family reciprocate, discuss something, and come here to discuss it at will, so why do you have to send Yingzi to call Cao's over?

But Yang Liu still followed the principle of being more magnanimous among relatives, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab Mrs. Cao, and persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, don't get angry, just speak slowly if you have something to say, and you can go if Sister Yingzi wants you to go. If you really don't want to go, let my grandma and dad go, okay?"

Annoyed, Mrs. Cao waved Yangliu away and took her hand, shouting angrily: "No, I left the words here today, no one is allowed to go this time, if Yingzi's parents don't come over in person to say we're married As for the matter, the matter of getting married is left there, and we can get married whenever we want, my Qingfeng is not in a hurry."

"Sister-in-law..."

Seeing that the quarrel was so tense, Mrs. Liu wanted to persuade Mrs. Cao, but she just called out a title, and Mrs. Cao stopped her: "It's useless for any of you to persuade Mrs. Cao, even if Qingfeng doesn't marry this daughter-in-law, I won't even go to Yingzi's house to discuss this marriage, I still want them to come."

"Then..." Seeing Cao's insistence, Mrs. Huang hesitated for a while, and then discussed with Yingzi: "Yingzi, be good, why don't you go back and call your mother over here. It happens that we have a lot of people here, so it's the same to discuss here. .”

Yingzi looked at Huang with grievances, thinking that he didn't dare to show Huang's face again, and finally agreed: "Auntie, don't be angry, I... I will go back and tell my parents, let my mother come over." .”

Seeing that Yingzi relaxed, Cao's face looked better: "Well, it's fine for your mother to come over."

Yingzi is an honest person. After hearing what Cao said, even though she couldn't feel at ease, she still went home and called her mother.

After Yingzi left, Mrs. Huang sighed and persuaded Mrs. Cao: "Boss daughter-in-law, why are you doing this? The money is all out, so why do you have to fight this way? This is not to embarrass Yingzi and Qingfeng. Is it?"

Mrs. Cao also has her own reasons: "Mother, you are wrong. It is because I paid the money that I can't bear it. Her Yingzi is not a beautiful country, and her family is not a rich family. I am not Qingfeng. If she doesn't want to marry, why do you want me to pay and be angry?"

Mrs. Huang felt that Mrs. Cao's words were somewhat reasonable, and it was not easy to blame her, but after all, the old man thought about things in the long term: "If Da Gua or Xiao Gua married a daughter-in-law this time, I will definitely not let you offend me, but this Qingfeng It's still different after all, if you make a fuss like this, it won't be time to provoke gossip from others."

Cao's neck was high, and she spoke with confidence: "I'm not afraid, my Liu'er has already said that, since I sit upright and stand upright, I'm not afraid of people talking about it. To be honest, if this matter changed my big Gua Xiaogua, I have long stopped letting him marry this daughter-in-law, how could I accommodate so much."

Yang Liu twitched her mouth helplessly, telling her to treat Qingfeng and her sisters as equals, Cao Shi couldn't listen to it, and now she knew that she was sitting upright and standing upright. Qingfeng is really a little crooked in this matter.

No matter what, Cao's treatment of Qingfeng was always worse, and not only in his heart, but also on the surface, as long as he observed carefully, he could see it.

Just like the matter of cutting pork, she didn't cut down on Bai Xiangchen's side, nor on Sini's Dali's side, but just cut down on Qingfeng's family. They are all from their own family in the courtyard, if there are outsiders, they will be gossiped.

Naturally, Mrs. Huang also knew about Mrs. Cao's problems, so she didn't follow Mrs. Cao's words.

After being silent for a long time, she took a deep breath and said honestly: "Hey, I don't blame you for this matter, and it is true that Yingzi's family has more things to do than others. You said that it is easy for other people's families to marry a wife." , How come to their house, there are so many things, I don’t know how many times I have quarreled over this matter, and I don’t know what’s going on.”

After hearing the words, Mrs. Liu continued: "Yeah, I'm also puzzled. I think Yingzi's parents seem to be honest, and they don't seem to have so many fastidious people."
