Chapter 297
As they expected, the dinner was very unpleasant.
It was pretty good at the beginning, after all, Zhang He brought the door with 200 kilograms of grain and 300 yuan. When Sun Maowen and his wife saw the food and money, they were so happy that they couldn't find it. They spoke nicely and the atmosphere was very good at one time.
But later, while drinking and chatting at the dinner table, the couple gradually revealed their greedy nature and began to try to get more benefits from Zhang He, and the atmosphere gradually became colder.
While chatting, Sun Maowen and his wife repeatedly talked about how difficult it was to raise Sun Yingmei, and then talked about how much it cost to raise Sun Yingmei so much. They said thirteen times and finally got back to the point.
This is a simple story, it is to ask for money. They proposed to raise their daughter so old that they could not be raised in vain. After Zhang He married Sun Yingmei, he would give them 30 yuan in retirement money every year. If they were sick, they would have to give it to them separately...
Hearing these shameless words, Han Mingxiu was furious and threw down his chopsticks and said righteously: "Uncle, aunt, the 300 yuan and 200 kilograms of grain that he had agreed to have, and Platoon Chief Zhang finally gave you enough money and grain. You guys are on the ground and raise the price again. Is there anyone who has something like this?"
Sun Maowen drank a few cups of wine and blushed. Under the influence of alcohol, he didn't know who he was. He said in a foggy way: "Xiu'er, if you can introduce Xiao Zhang to Yingmei, our family is grateful to you, but Xiao Zhang is now our son-in-law, we are the family. Our family discusses our family's affairs. Don't mix with you, an outsider..."
Han Mingxiu was so angry that she choked and turned to look at Zhang He, wanting to see what Zhang He was doing.
Zhang He had long been reluctant. After hearing Sun Maowen say this again, Han Mingxiu put down his wine glass and said politely and distantly: "Uncle Sun, my 300 yuan and 200 kilograms of grain were collected by several comrades. I may have to pay it back in the future. I really can't give you an extra 30 yuan a year. If it doesn't work, let's forget about this..."
At the door, Sun Yingmei, who was eavesdropping, heard Zhang He say "Let's forget about this matter", her body trembled, bit her lips tightly, and her eyes turned red...
When Sun Maowen heard Zhang He say, 'Let's forget it', he was not afraid. He burped and said with a hard tongue: "How can you forget it? You have drunk the engagement wine at my house. If you forget it, wouldn't our Yingmei's reputation be over?"
"That's right, how important is a reputation for a daughter? You come to our house again and again. Everyone in the village knows that you like our Yingmei and get engaged to our Yingmei. Now you say you don't want to do it. How can you find your husband's family in the future? How can you see someone? If you don't know, you have to think that there is something wrong with our Yingmei, and you ask them to let me not do it." Sun Maowen's wife also said to her.
The three hundred yuan and two hundred kilograms of grain had already reached their hands, so the couple was particularly tough and did not worry that Zhang He would regret it. If he regretted it, it would be just right. Anyway, they would not be able to return the money and grain they had obtained. If he dared to regret it, they would treat the money as a loss of reputation for their daughter.
When Han Mingxiu saw the couple like a scoundrel, she felt very regretful.
If I had known that their character was so bad, I would not have introduced Zhang He to such a family. Wouldn't this cheat others?
However, since she is a matchmaker and she guarantees the matchmaker, she has to be responsible for this matter to the end.
Han Mingxiu stopped eating and hugged her arms and said coldly: "Since you care about your daughter's reputation, don't be greedy, sit down and raise the price, put your daughter in this dilemma! Let me see, you are worried that your daughter's reputation is fake, and it is true to want to be more greedy. Today, just say, these three hundred yuan and two hundred kilograms of grain are the limit of Zhang's ability. Can you marry your daughter? If you can, let's make a decision now, let them quickly pull the marriage certificate, get married soon, and let them live their little life happily."
"If you can't, you will return the three hundred yuan to us. We will take away the food later. This will be considered as never before!"
"Oh, look at what you said, but everyone in the village knows that our Yingmei and Xiao Zhang are engaged. You are going to regret the marriage now. Isn't this a scam? How can our Yingmei find her husband's family in the future?"
Sun Maowen's wife shouted, and they were obviously inappropriate, but they seemed to be victims.
Han Mingxiu snorted and said, "I said, don't raise the price if you are afraid that your daughter's reputation will be damaged. We will do whatever we should do. We will do as we set out as we originally decided. If you are not greedy, then I'm sorry..."
When Sun Maowen heard Han Mingxiu's words, he put down the wine cup in his hand, opened his turbid eyes and said, "This is the requirement for our daughter. This is the standard. If you want to be our son-in-law, you have to follow our family's rules. If it doesn't work, we won't force it. If the door is there, please..."
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the door.
When the captain saw it, he hurriedly advised him, "Xiu'er, Maowen, let's discuss it carefully. This was a good thing, but don't mess with it. It's a pity."
Han Mingxiu was also anxious and said, "What else can I discuss? Captain, don't you see it? Someone wants to use his daughter as a money tree. He is not satisfied with selling a large sum of money. He also wants to ask his son-in-law to support them for the rest of his life. It's really a long time to see you!"
Zhang He had already put down his chopsticks. Seeing that he was talking about this, he stood up and said lukewarmly: "Since that's the case, then let's stop here. I am indeed not suitable to be your son-in-law. You can find someone else, Jianfeng, Mingxiu, let's go."
He said to the captain and the women's director, "Captain, director, please trouble you today. I will find another place to set up a table next day. I will thank you both."
Han Mingxiu also stood up and said, "It's okay to leave, but the three hundred yuan has to be returned to us, and the two hundred kilograms of grain will be taken back later."
Sun Maowen said with a hard tongue: "You are here to bring money and food to our house and want to hire our daughter. Now you don't want our daughter anymore, and you still want to take the money and food back? How can such a good thing happen?"
This is clearly going to let go!
Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, Sun Maowen, who was usually depressed, was quite bold and wanted to let him go.
The captain put down his face and scolded: "Maowen, what are you talking about? This matter is successful. If it fails, you should quickly return food and money. They are soldiers and are protected by the state and law."
Sun Maowen was already drunk. He was not very brave, but once he drank too much, there was nothing in the world that he didn't dare to do.
When he heard the captain ask him to return the money, he opened his two red drunk eyes and stared at the captain and said, "What are the soldiers? He is protected by the state and the law. We ordinary people are not protected by the state and the law? Why should he come to my house to flirt with my daughter? Is it not right to ask him to pay some money and some food and give us some mental damage?"
When the captain heard his tongue hard when he spoke, he knew that he couldn't make a difference with the drunkard, so he said to Sun Maowen's wife: "Maowen's family, he is drunk and unconscious. Let me tell you, if you want to succeed, just say it well, don't mess around. If you don't want to succeed, you can return the money and food to others. If you want to rely on others for such old money and food, let alone if you can't agree, you can't pass the test..."
Although the captain didn't say anything when Sun Maowen wanted to eat Zhang He before, it was because he was very sensible. Who knew whether Comrade Xiao Zhang could accept the card from his future father-in-law? If he could, wouldn't he beside him talk nonsense about internal affairs in the family? If not, it wouldn't be too late for him to speak again.
Just like now, as the talks collapsed, he can no longer ignore them. Xiao Zhang is a platoon leader of the army. If he is blackmailed in their village, his face will be gone as the captain?
Besides, if the leader wants to pursue it, what is the captain doing? The leader is such a bad-hearted member, and he is waiting to be punished together!
