Chapter 640 The Story of Old Li Tou 3
When Zhou Ming spoke, everyone moved out of the way.
At this time, Old Li hurried forward.
Zhou Ming asked him to wait outside the door, while he went in to find Lao Niu.
Lao Niu's family has a son and a daughter, the son has gone to serve as a soldier, and the daughter is ready to marry.
Lao Niu came out with red eyes, and when he saw Lao Li there, he didn't give a good face.
"The head of the Niu family is all the fault of our old Li family, our fault, I will kneel down for you, I can't accompany you." Old Li knelt down as he said.
Old Li was quite regretful, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
"You old Li, why did you do this in the first place? It has to be like this." The matchmaker complained from the side.
Lao Niu turned his head away and didn't look at Lao Li's head, obviously very angry.
Zhou Ming's face was gloomy. The boss of the Niu family has joined the army and has a good relationship with him. As a retired soldier, he absolutely does not allow his comrades in arms to suffer any grievances.
Zhou Ming said in a deep voice: "If I don't make it clear today, I absolutely can't forget it like this."
Old Li said: "My family has no money, not even a single copper coin, so I really can't offer a dowry. I was thinking about it, and I will come to apologize after a while, but everyone knows what's going on now."
As soon as Lao Litou said, the matchmaker quit first, pointed at Lao Litou and cursed: "Okay, Lao Li, I see that your family has built a new house, you have land and cattle, and you also said that you have given the betrothal gift. Why did you tell me that you don’t have a single copper coin when things are coming to an end, and you’re playing tricks on me, aren’t you?”
"Besides, if you don't have money, according to your family's conditions, you can just ask the villagers to borrow some to get by. You have to make trouble like this."
The matchmaker pointed at Old Li and started cursing, she was so angry, she didn't make any money, and now that her reputation has been damaged, she will still be a matchmaker in the future.
Old Li quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, my family is rich, so I didn't deceive you."
"Hmph." The matchmaker snorted coldly with her hands on her hips and said, "There is nothing wrong with your family, so why do you have no money? You are just playing with me."
Everyone looked at him unkindly, thinking that he was lying.
Old Li felt very anxious when he saw that their eyes were not right.
Lao Niu still didn't look at him, Zhou Ming snorted and stared at him.
"I really didn't lie to you. The day before yesterday, it wasn't Mr. Zhang who needed money the day before yesterday. I decided to take all the more than 3,000 copper coins at home to the government to support Mr. Zhang. By the way, I have a certificate, and I have a certificate. Take it at home, I really didn't lie to you." Old Li hurriedly explained.
Old Li stood up after finishing speaking, and wanted to go back to get the voucher.
"Stop!" Zhou Ming called to stop Old Li.
Old Li was nervous, and hurriedly explained: "Really, I went the day before yesterday, and the voucher is at home. I really took all the money to the county government to support Mr. Zhang."
Old Li thought that everyone didn't believe him, so he explained.
The old cow also turned to look at him.
Zhou Ming's complexion improved a lot, and he asked Lao Li how he paid the money.
"Hey, I remembered. One day when I went to pay the money, I did see the four of you come back from the county seat. At that time, you were walking with wind, and you didn't even hear me calling. That was so exciting." said one.
Zhou Ming made sure that he just used all the money to support Zhang Yu, rather than deliberately not coming to give the dowry, so his complexion changed for the better.
"Brother, you have been wronged. I didn't know about this situation just now, so I gave you a cold look." Zhou Ming stepped forward and apologized.
Although the matchmaker's expression improved, she still had a disgusted look on her face.
"Fool, don't care about your son's major affairs, you won't save some." The matchmaker said.
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, just figure it out, Lao Li, don't stand, come and sit, come and sit." Lao Niu also suddenly changed his expression and asked Lao Li to come and sit.
There are some stone chairs outside the yard. Old Li was dragged by Lao Niu to work on them. At this time, he was still in a daze.
"Old Li, you can talk about this situation, it will make everyone nervous." Lao Niu said.
"Yes yes yes, it's my fault, my fault." Lao Li didn't care what others said, and quickly admitted his mistake.
"Sit down here first, I'll go in and explain something to my wife so that they don't worry." The old cow went into the house after speaking.
After Lao Niu left, Lao Li was still uneasy, so Zhou Ming came to accompany him.
"Old Uncle Li, I have served in the army for three years and retired as an instructor for two years. I have met a lot and I can understand your thoughts. Most of us here have received the favor of the lord. Everyone knows how the lord treats us. You have to tell us about it, it will definitely not be like this." Zhou Ming said.
Now Zhou Ming doesn't blame Lao Li for not coming to give the dowry.
After a while, the old cow came out, sat down and said, "It's all right, I've made an agreement with my wife."
"I'm so sorry, so sorry." Lao Li apologized again.
Lao Niu waved his hand and said, "Since you are here today, we have to settle the matter. Do we still want to get married? If we want to get married, we should re-schedule the date. If we don't want to get married, we should make it clear in front of everyone."
"Ah, but my family doesn't have the money to make a betrothal gift." Old Li didn't expect Lao Niu to make such a request, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Lao Niu waved his hand and said, "The dowry is negotiable, the key is whether or not we will get married."
"Yes, yes, of course." Lao Li nodded quickly and said.
"Okay, let's talk about it. There are many people here to witness. As for the dowry, what do you think of a load of food?" the old cow said.
"No, no, no, how can I do it? The betrothal gift will still come as before, and I will borrow it all." Lao Li said.
Lao Niu waved his hand and said: "My son is a soldier. The family has fields and cattle. The family expenses are high, and my son's monthly military salary is also high. The family is doing well. The dowry is nothing to me. The key is the two. The family has to get together."
Lao Li nodded and said: "Thank you for your tolerance. I made such a big mistake, and you still treat me like this. How can I not know good from bad?"
Zhou Ming was also happy. It was naturally the best thing to be able to resolve it smoothly and have a happy ending.
"Haha, since that's the case, why don't we book a date now to have a happy event." Zhou Ming said.
As soon as Zhou Ming said, the two agreed, and the blind dates were also very happy, and they all came to help.
Your day was chosen soon, just a month away.
"Okay, we will be in-laws from now on." Lao Niu said.
"Yes, yes, they are in-laws." Lao Li said.
The folks were also happy for them. Originally, this matter was going to be serious, and the reputation of Lao Niu's daughter was affected, and she almost hanged herself. Now the matter is over.
Lao Li couldn't sit still, and hurried back to announce the good news.
After Lao Li left, Lao Niu said: "My in-laws, if we can thank Lord Nianzhang for his kindness to us, my daughter will be blessed to marry."
Lao Niu also escaped from other places, and he also went to the county government to take out all the family savings, but because he wanted to do a dowry for his daughter, he only took out a few hundred copper coins. All the copper coins were taken out. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
