C25 Propose Marriage
That afternoon, Liu Sanshun was at home peeling fish skin, drying fish skin, humming a little tune, and although there wasn't much to be happy about, he was happy in his heart.
At this time, he didn't know that Ma Guoliang had agreed to go to the Fu Family to propose marriage. He rode to town and directly bought two bottles of good wine, two cigarettes, and the latest smartphone. It cost him about 3000 yuan.
Then, he carried the cigarette and wine gift and went straight to the Fu Family.
In the small river village, the Ma Family had better conditions. Ma Guoliang was more intelligent. He had previously contracted more land and also contracted a river section. In a year, his income was at least 100,000 to 80,000.
It was a pity that he met this prodigal Ma Xiaoxin. He only knew how to spend money and did not know how to earn money.
For the sake of his only son, Ma Guoliang had broken his heart and ground his lips. However, Ma Xiaoxin was still doing what he was doing. He only thought that Ma Xiaoxin's words were bullshit.
Ma Guoliang had also beaten and scolded him. He had used all kinds of methods, but he was still at his wit's end.
Today, Ma Xiaoxin once again mentioned that he wanted to go to the Fu Family to propose marriage. In the end, he was scolded by Ma Guoliang.
Two years ago, Ma Guoliang went to the Fu Family for his son once. In the end, he was full of anger and went home to scold his son. After that, he barely interacted with the Fu Family for two years.
But today, Ma Xiaoxin actually brought up this matter again. Wasn't this making Ma Guoliang upset?
However, the Ma family only had one son. After Ma Guoliang scolded him, under his wife's persuasion, he reluctantly agreed and went to lose face again.
Of course, this was not because he spoiled his son, but because he felt that what his son and wife said made sense.
Firstly, the Fu Family's proposal of marriage was two years ago. As the saying went, things were different now. At that time, Fu Xiaoqing had just graduated and returned home, and she had been in the limelight. Now, no one had bothered with her for more than two years. She was no longer a valuable commodity.
Secondly, his wife secretly told him that his son had never been in a good mood because no one could control him. If his wish really came true and he married a girl from the Fu family, his son would be under someone else's control. Perhaps he would know how to live his life in the future.
Moreover, the Fu family's girl was not only beautiful, she was also capable and cultured. She could be counted in the surrounding villages. If he could marry her, it would be the Ma family's property. In the future, there would be someone to manage her.
Otherwise, with that disappointing son of his, wouldn't he lose all of his family background in the future?
Ma Guoliang thought about it and finally steeled his heart. He carried the gift into the Fu family's door.
When he saw Ma Guoliang carrying a cigarette and wine, Fu Yonggui was first puzzled. Then, he thought about it and understood.
This old man most likely came for his son again. He gave up and did not change his mind. He was still thinking about his own daughter.
Fu Yonggui was famous for protecting his daughter. Of course, he did not take a fancy to that wastrel Ma Xiaoxin.
But there was an old saying that goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand. Ma Guoliang came to visit his house and brought a gift with him. He could not just kick him out with a big shovel, right?
Fu Yonggui smiled and went out to welcome him.
Ma Guoliang also smiled and said, "Old Fu, I haven't seen you in a while. You've been quite busy recently?"
Fu Yonggui could tell at a glance that he was a weasel paying homage to a chicken. He didn't have good intentions. Ma Guoliang's two years of small life had been pretty good. Who in the village could catch his eyes?
"What can I be busy with? No matter how busy I am, I am not as busy as you. Look at you. Come on, bring something. . . Aiyo, Five Grain Liquid?"
Fu Yonggui was dumbfounded at that time. He looked at the cigarette, Zhonghua.
He couldn't help but think of Liu Sanshun's gift a few days ago. That pile of stuff was only worth a few hundred dollars.
Look at Ma Guoliang. It was just different!
People were all so realistic. When Fu Yonggui saw these good things, his attitude changed 180 degrees, and he happily invited Ma Guoliang into the house.
Ma Guoliang looked around and asked, "Old Fu, where's your daughter?"
Fu Yonggui pointed to the backyard and said, "She's busy. I heard that she just sold a fish-skin painting. She will have to hand it over tomorrow. "
"Oh, that's not bad. A fish skin painting is also quite expensive. "
"Hey, what's it worth? It took me half a day. Why don't you take these two cigarettes and take a seat in the house? Little Qing's mother, make that good tea of mine! "
Ma Guoliang observed Fu Yonggui's expression. When he saw Fu Yonggui's attitude, he thought in his heart that there was a door. When Fu Yonggui saw him giving gifts, he definitely knew what was going on. Since Fu Yonggui had given him such a good attitude, there was a high chance that this was going to happen.
The two of them pretended to be polite for a while, then entered the house and sat down. They drank tea and talked for a while. After a few words, they talked about the children's marriage.
At first, Fu Yonggui pretended to be in a difficult position. After rejecting it for a while, He sighed and said, "This child and I have been worrying too much. Not only did we not find a partner, but we have also gotten together with Liu Sanshun recently. This morning, the two of them will be broadcasting live together. Tell me, Do you think that livestreaming is something good people do? It's all a bunch of indecent people. I originally wanted to give her a good lesson. In the end, she even sold a painting in the afternoon. Don't you think it's infuriating?"
Ma Guoliang laughed dryly and said," Brother Fu, Don't be angry, child. There are always times when you are not sensible. When it comes to live broadcasting, young people like it. We don't need to worry about it. But if we mix with Liu Sanshun, that would be bad. Who was that Liu Sanshun? How could you not know? He was just a hoodlum, poor to the point of clinking. In my opinion, he is using the flag of a fish skin painting. He is thinking about your daughter. Brother Fu, you have to take control of the rudder. It doesn't matter whether our daughter is given to Old Ma's family or not, but we absolutely can't let this go to waste. "
Fu Yonggui slapped his thigh: "That's right, that's the reason. But don't worry, I'm watching closely. That kid won't have a chance. Wait a few more days. If this matter doesn't work, then she'll give up. "
Ma Guoliang gritted his teeth and said," That won't do. Brother Fu, aren't you afraid? What kind of mischief did Liu Sanshun cause? What kind of trouble did he cause? "
"Something will happen? What could have happened?"
"That's hard to say. Liu Sanshun has no parents. If he did something bad, he would just leave. What about our daughter? Besides, even if she doesn't have anything to do, this big girl is from a family. She would hang out with a bad boy every day. In the future, if word got out, there would be nothing to worry about. People outside had to tell you something. At that time, his daughter's reputation would be ruined. What should we do? We have to be careful. "
" You're right. Then what should we do? "
Fu Yonggui immediately lost his mind when he heard that. His expression became somewhat flustered.
The time for Ma Guoliang's decision had arrived. He unhurriedly tore apart the Zhonghua cigarettes, opened a pack, and took out a cigarette from within, handing it to Fu Yonggui.
"Brother Fu, you want to say that my family's Little Xin. . . This child is also quite disappointing sometimes, but he has also become sensible in these two years. How about. . . We old brothers are still married, and we are both from the same village. We can take care of each other. Besides, our daughter has been staying at home for two years, so we have to find a way to make a living. Don't worry, after passing by, I'll let her manage that section of the river. As for the money for the betrothal gifts, Just give me a random number, I won't hesitate. "
This was really a huge investment. When Fu Yonggui heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
If the river section that the Ma family contracted could be handed over to Little Qing to manage, it would mean that the Fu family had half a river. How could their future days be any worse?
Furthermore, the Ma family's betrothal gifts would definitely not be less than 100,000 yuan. Now that his daughter was living with Liu San all day long, she would not be able to make a name for herself. At that time, just as Ma Guoliang had said, if her reputation was ruined and she could not marry into a good family in the future, she might as well marry into the Ma family.
Seeing Fu Yonggui hesitate, Ma Guoliang took advantage of the situation to chase after him.
"As long as your elder brother nods his head, we will settle the marriage first. Later, I will send a deposit of 20,000 yuan over. After that, you'll be able to understand your daughter's thoughts. I'll pay for the betrothal gifts again. "
Ma Guoliang directly stretched out two fingers and crossed them together, making a gesture of one hundred thousand yuan.
20,000 yuan as a deposit and 100,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, that was 120,000 yuan. In a poor place like Little River Village, it was already considered the highest price.
But at this time, before Fu Yonggui could say anything, the door was suddenly pushed open and a figure walked in.
"It's fine if you want me to marry Ma Xiaoxin. I have a condition. As long as he can do it, I don't want a hundred thousand betrothal gifts. I will carry my bag and go to your Old Ma's house by myself! "
