Chapter 101： Compare

Chapter 101 Comparison

The custom here is that a bride must be given a betrothal gift when marrying a daughter-in-law, usually ranging from 200 to 600 cash. In towns, it is usually 600 cash, and in the village it is usually 400 cash. In the mountains, it will be less, but it still costs 200 cash. Yang Datou gave me more than anyone else in town.

Mother Liu was frightened by the money and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Old man, Ashu!"

Liu's father and Liu Shu were startled and hurried into the house. When they saw the eight hundred coins, they were both shocked.

Liu's father asked seriously: "Yi Zi, tell the truth, where did the Yang family get so much money?"

They all know that the Yang family is poor, and they also know that Yang Hu’s money came from improper sources. Now that Yang Hu is dead, it stands to reason that the life of the Yang family should be even more difficult.

Liu Ye pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Dad, eldest brother, you are all talking about the old calendar. Now the situation of my husband's family is very good. Not only did they build more than a dozen new houses, they also built a workshop, and Datou is also there. I work as a chef in the inn, and the monthly payment is enough, not to mention that my mother-in-law doesn't let us hand over the money. We are saving our own money now, and we have plenty of money, so you don't have to worry. "

Liu Mu sighed at the side: "Take a look, is she taller and fatter?"

The two careless men were staring at Willow Ye carefully now, and finally noticed the difference in her.

Liu Shu said happily: "It's okay, okay. If I had gone to Yang's house to take you away by force, wouldn't I have harmed you! Huh! My aunt has always praised the man Liu Rong married. Didn't he only give her four hundred yuan?" The betrothal gift from your side is 800 yuan, which is double that of them!

The New Year's gift you brought back this time can be worth several years of other people's New Year's gifts! Let's go to the big room later. "

Liu Ye covered her mouth and chuckled, and told what happened on the way here. The three people in the Liu family relieved themselves and laughed.

Yang Datou noticed that his father-in-law and his eldest brother-in-law had come into the house, and they were obviously very friendly to him when they came out. Just now they were cold and indifferent, but now they not only talked about his family's problems, but also asked about his family's situation. Even have a nice drink with him.

Liu Rong, who was next door, heard the laughter, and instantly elongated her face and glared at Liu Mu, "Brother, didn't you say that there is no good person in the Yang family, that they are poor and unreasonable, and that there will be no way to survive if you marry her? How can I look at you? My cousin seems to be living a good life!"

Liu Rong gritted her teeth.

Ding was extremely surprised, "That's impossible! You want me to say that no matter how good her life is, she can still have you? Kunpeng's family is a butcher of pigs. Who can get some meat every now and then? Look at how well he has raised you. How nice! It’s much better than being at my parents’ home!”

She would have thought the same thing if she hadn't seen Liu Ye. After seeing Liu Ye's current appearance and outfit, she felt uncomfortable. She turned around and said coquettishly to Ma Kunpeng, "I want to make a new set of clothes."

The smile on Ma Kunpeng's face faded a bit, "Don't you still have a few clothes that you haven't worn much?"

Liu Rong pursed her lips and muttered: "I brought those from my parents' house. When I arrived at your house, I didn't even make a pair of new shoes! Look, my cousin got married two months earlier than me. Look at her today. The clothes I wore were all made at my in-laws’ house!”

Ding was still confused about the situation at first, but after hearing this, she finally understood a little, and immediately ran to the next door, "Yi Zi is back!"

Liu's mother was in the house, too lazy to move. The sounds of Liu's father and Ding's conversation could be heard outside the house.

Liu Ye said: "Mom, let me go out and take a look."

When Mrs. Ding saw Willow Ye who had changed, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, "Oh! Our leaves have become so beautiful after not seeing her for a year! Could it be that she took the elixir at her husband's house!"

Yang Datou felt something was wrong when he heard this. He stuck out his head and said, "What elixir? It's just eating meat every day."

Ding took a breath of air and then saw Yang Datou clearly. She had to say that Yang Datou looked much more handsome now than when Ding saw him before, at least better-looking than Ma Kunpeng.

This comparison made Ms. Ding feel even more uncomfortable, and she sneered: "You still eat meat every day! Do you think your family is the same as my son-in-law's family? I'm not afraid that the cowhide will be blown." Come on! My brother-in-law works as a chef in an inn, but he doesn’t eat meat every day!” Liu Shu said proudly, feeling quite proud.

Ding's smile couldn't be held back at all, "Chef? Just him? Stop joking!"

Yang Datou said to Liu's father: "It just so happens that my father-in-law and mother-in-law haven't tasted my cooking yet, so I will show you my cooking skills today."

Liu's father was shocked, "Are you serious? How can I ask my uncle to cook when he comes to the house?"

Liu's father wanted to stop him, but Yang Datou had already entered the kitchen house, swept the seasonings inside skillfully, and said to Liu Ye: "There is only salt and oil, which is too little. Fortunately, I brought some things over. You can help me get them." "

"Okay!" Liu Ye came over with the basket, took out some small bottles and cans from the bottom, and killed fish and chickens. His movements were so neat, especially when he was filleting fish, look at the way he handled them. You know that she is an expert, unlike ordinary stove women like them.

Liu's father and others stared straight at him, and Ding's eyes almost came out of their sockets.

When Yang Datou's braised fish was out of the pot, Ding couldn't say any more questioning words. She heard Liu Mu and Liu Hong discussing Yang Datou's monthly money, and her face became more and more gloomy.

Everyone's attention is on Yang Datou, and they don't know when Ding left.

As soon as Ms. Ding walked to the door of her house, she heard a burst of cheers from the next door. She thought that when Yang Datou arrived at Yue's house, he was delivering things and cooking. He was easy-going and good at making troubles, but her uncle was like an old man. He didn't move his **** when he entered the house. , he was not happy that his daughter wanted new clothes, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.

Yang Datou showed his hand and completely calmed everyone in the Liu family. Liu's father looked at him with extremely affectionate eyes and pulled him to ask questions.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ye simply took the snacks and went to Wan Niangzi's house.

Wan Niangzi's house is not far away. It is a blue brick house. Because she is not married and has no relatives nearby, and she is celebrating the New Year, the house is very deserted.

Mrs. Wan was embroidering in the house. She heard a knock on the door and went out to open the door. She was surprised when she saw it was Liu Ye, "You're back? You seem to be doing well."

Speaking, the two of them entered the house.

Liu Ye put down the pastries and said, "Aunt Wan, please try the pastries made by my mother-in-law."

Madam Wan did not open it, but smiled and said, "You are serious. I felt uncomfortable for a while when I heard about your cousin cheating on you. Now that you are like this, I feel relieved."

Liu Ye's eyes were slightly red, "Thank you, Aunt Wan, for thinking about me. Liu Ye is fine. Are you okay?"

"It's the same as usual, what's good? Didn't I recognize a goddaughter before, but the child just disappeared after getting married? It's not as good as your intentions, hey! It's too uncomfortable to say it, so I won't mention it!" Xu Shi As she gets older, Lady Wan talks a lot more than before.

Liu Ye felt uncomfortable seeing her like this, and gritted her teeth and said, "Aunt Wan, although I'm married, I can still provide for you in your old age!"
