Chapter 1549 Brother Zhou’s Two Conditions (update 3)
Chen Kang came back feeling depressed after paying homage to his parents, sister and brother-in-law. It was not until the eighth day of the lunar month that village head Zhou Papi took his children and grandchildren and Grandma Zhou took her children and grandchildren to the Lejia. Only when he saw his teenage playmates again did he smile again.
Village Chief Zhou only learned from Cheng Youde that Chen Hongying's brother was back on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, because at that time, his sons had not returned from taking the children to their grandmother's house, and he did not go to Le's house either. Meet Chen Kang.
Zhou Papi has less impression of Chen Kang. He is several years younger than Chen Kang and they don’t play together often. Village chief Zhou is more familiar with Chen Kang. Grandma Zhou is also very familiar with Chen Kang. Zhou
Fu I used to be good playmates with Chen Kang.
Village Chief Zhou and others knew the reason why Chen Kang had not returned to the village for decades, and they also wanted to catch a certain letter writer and skin him and cramp him to relieve their hatred. Village Chief
Zhou and others I also wanted to invite Chen Kang's family to dinner, but Chen Kang declined. He just wanted to stay at his nephew's house when he came back this time, and then go to his childhood playmate's house when he came back later. The
five descendants of Chen Kang's family only went to Chen Da Mian's house at noon on the ninth day of the lunar month. After a meal, Chen Dalian invited many elders of the same clan to accompany him. From that day on, people in Meicun Village knew that Yueqing's old uncle Chen Kang had returned to the village to visit relatives. On the tenth day of the lunar month, the beautiful young man and Yan Shaolan returned to Beijing on the third day
.
The five members of Chen Kang's family continued to live there until after the Lantern Festival. The five grandparents and grandchildren reluctantly set off home. They still wanted to stay, but Chen Xin was a lecturer in high school. The senior year of high school was about to start, and Chen Xin was originally a junior high school student. Ba had to go to work, so he asked for leave in advance, and had to postpone it for a few days.
The sons had to go to work, so Chen Kang and Zhou Wei naturally returned to Hunan Province with their sons.
Recognizing his uncle meant that for Yu Le's father, he had another family in the future. , Lejia is not a mere commander without relatives and friends. He and Zhou Qiufeng sent off his uncle's family and were already preparing for spring planting.
Boss Wu and his family returned to the provincial capital to celebrate the New Year with his brothers and sisters, and returned to Jiudao after the Lantern Festival. My wife, son and daughter-in-law visited Le's house on the 18th day of the lunar calendar.
Zhou Tianming did not go to his grandmother's house and went back to school on the 19th day of the lunar calendar.
On the 20th day of the lunar calendar, Mrs. Zhou took her daughter to her grandmother's house. She returned home happily and reported the good news to the man when she got home: "Xia Long, Chunmei is getting married." Brother Zhou said with a cold face: "
Chun If Mei gets married, she will get married. Tell me what to do?"
"Zhou Xialong, what are you talking about? Chunmei is your daughter, and this is how you treat your own girl?" Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she exploded on the spot.
"My daughter? Isn't Chunmei the daughter of you and your mother's family? Look, when Chunmei falls in love, she first tells you and your mother's family. When did you tell me? Who is Chunmei's boyfriend? Did you tell me what you look like, what year you were born, and when you were born? When
Chunmei’s boyfriend meets his parents, it’s you and your mother’s family who meet you, and it’s your eyes. Have you informed me? Have you brought it back to show me?
Now that the man and Chunmei are planning to get married, they have discussed it with you and your family. I don’t even know the name of Chunmei’s boyfriend, let alone whether he is round or round. It's Bian, from the beginning to the end, you and your family never thought to ask me and my mother what they meant.
Liu Tong, let's talk now, what do you say I should say, and how should I treat my girl? "
"You...I..." After being bombarded with a series of questions from Zhou Xialong, Sister-in-law Zhou, who was originally very arrogant, was instantly choked and speechless, her face turned red, and she couldn't answer a word for a long time.
Grandma Zhou didn't say anything, didn't ask, and didn't help.
"Liu Tong, speak, are you mute?" The woman pretended to be deaf and mute, and Brother Zhou was so angry that he was very capable and proud, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to be strangling his neck. Say something?
"I...we..." After being yelled at, Mrs. Zhou's back tensed up, and she defended herself: "Chunmei, it's because you are usually too fierce and don't dare to tell you, I... ... I thought you... wouldn't care about these little things, so I didn't tell you... Why don't I come back to discuss it with you today..." "
What are you discussing with me?" Brother Zhou was so angry that he didn't even want to speak, and he had to ask clearly about the situation.
"The man has agreed to get married on May Day. Since May Day is a holiday, everyone will have time to have a drink. What Chunmei means..." The man's face was gloomy. Sister Zhou whispered the date that the man had pre-selected. When it came to the most important thing, She didn't dare to say anything.
"You say, I listen."
"We are... too far away from the county seat of Zhuxian County. Not to mention waiting for the makeup to come back until noon, even if the man's wedding car comes from there and goes back, he can't make it home before noon. It's unlucky to arrive home after a while. Grandma's house is closer to her husband's house and the hotel. Chunmei wants... to get married at grandma's house."
Sister-in-law Zhou said while looking at the man's face. When she saw the man's eyebrows raised, she was frightened. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat. It was her mother and brother's idea to let Chunmei get married at her grandma's house. If she gets married at her grandma's house, the bride price will naturally be sent to her grandma's house.
Grandma Zhou almost thought there was something wrong with her ears. What did Liu Tong say? How could the Liu family allow Zhou Chunmei to marry into her grandmother's house?
Brother Zhou laughed angrily: "It seems that the man promised the Liu family a lot of gifts, right?"
"No...no, the man...didn't say how much gift he wanted to give. Grandma and I just gave it according to local customs. Anyway, I want to bring it back to Chunmei, right..." Sister-in-law Zhou's heart was beating wildly, and she didn't dare to look directly at Zhou Xialong because of her guilty conscience.
"Liu Tong, you and your family are so shameless. Why should the girl I raised get married in the Liu family? I raised the girl, but my grandmother and uncle robbed me of the bride price and credit given to me by the man. You and I Where does your family have
the shame to do such a shameless thing?" Brother Zhou was angry, but he was very calm: "It's not impossible to want Zhou Chunmei to marry her grandma's family. I only have two conditions. First, Under certain conditions, Zhou Chunmei’s household registration should be moved to her grandma’s house, or Zhou Chunmei and that person should get a marriage certificate first, and then hold the wedding after moving their household registration. Zhou Chunmei’s household registration is not here, it doesn’t matter where she gets married, her household registration is still at home but
at her grandmother’s house I can't afford to lose this person when I get married. If I can't do this, Chunmei must get married at home if her household registration is in Meizijing Village. The bride price must be delivered to me, and I will also be responsible for organizing the banquet.
Chunmei didn't change her household registration. She dared to marry into her grandma's house. Whoever she dared to marry, I carried an ax to hit the Liu family and cut off that bastard's legs. Whoever wants to embarrass me, no one wants to lose face. "
Being scolded for being shameless, Mrs. Zhou's face started to heat up. She found the man staring at her fiercely and was so frightened that she could hardly breathe. Zhou Xialong must have guessed that the man wanted to give a lot of gifts, so he disagreed with Chunmei's grandma's house. Get married.
The bride price prepared by the man is indeed very generous. In addition to the necessary items for local weddings, there is at least 88,000 in cash, and there is also an apartment. That apartment... Sister-in-law Zhou's heart beat hard, her mind changed for a while, and she asked:
" And...what other conditions are there? Judging from Liu
Tong's tone, she knew that she agreed to Chunmei's change of household registration. Brother Zhou said with a dark face and gritted his teeth the second condition: "The second condition is that Chunmei's marriage will be discussed between you and your mother's family. , the bride price has also been collected by you and your natal family, and the benefits are yours. So, if Chunmei needs support from her natal family in the future, you should not come to me, and you will bear it all.
If you and your family want to waste the gift, you must write a contract according to the conditions I proposed, and you and your family must sign it. Otherwise, I firmly disagree with Chunmei getting married in the Liu family. Who dares to hold a banquet behind my back? If I go to destroy the Liu family, I will lose face anyway. I will not live a happy life, and none of you can live happily.
"Write...write a contract? " There's no need for this or this. Does my family need such a... birth status? "Liu Tong thinks the second condition is nothing, but if she wants to write a contract, isn't this a slap in the face of her family? "If you don't write a contract, there will be no
negotiation," Brother Zhou sneered, "I work hard outside to make money. I sent the girl to study. I worked hard to raise the girl. My mother raised her granddaughter from a young age and did not enjoy the slightest filial piety from Chunmei. My grandma and uncle never raised Chunmei, but now they have the audacity to ask my girl to marry her at my grandma’s house. , just waiting to receive the betrothal gift and get the benefits, what kind of logic is this?
When receiving the benefits, he rushes out to become his mother-in-law. After receiving the benefits, he doesn't want to care about it. Nothing in the world is so cheap. If he wants to receive the betrothal gifts and take advantage, he must bear the responsibility of being Chunmei's mother-in-law. There is no way for the Liu family to get benefits, and for me, the Zhou family to contribute.
Liu Tong, these are my conditions. You and your mother-in-law can choose for themselves. If you don’t agree, from today on, you can no longer interfere with Chunmei’s marriage. Let the man come to my house to see me, and we can discuss it if I like it. Betrothal gifts and banquets, all the betrothal gifts given by the man must also be decided by me. Without my consent, if you want to get married, there is no way. At worst, I will do nothing and go to the groom’s house every day to make trouble, causing the man to voluntarily marry Chun. May breaks up. "
The man's tone was strong. Sister-in-law Zhou felt unsure, so she discussed in a low voice: "I...let me discuss it with Chunmei. "
We need to discuss it quickly. Make a decision today. If you don't wait until it's overdue, if you bother me with this matter in the future, the only way for us is to get divorced." "Brother Zhou really doesn't want to talk to his mother-in-law anymore. The woman's heart has gone to her mother's side, and she can't bring her back if she tries to pull her back. Just let her go. When Zhou Xialong mentioned divorce again, Sister-in-law Zhou's face stiffened
. She stood there for a few seconds, turned around, walked out of the kitchen quickly, and trotted towards the back of the village.
She had just returned from her parents' home, and she still threw her things in the upper room. Because she was too happy, she immediately ran to the kitchen to tell the man that the girl was getting married. , ended up unhappy, her butt didn’t even touch the bench at home, not to mention that the bench wasn’t warm enough to sit on. When
her daughter-in-law went out, Grandma Zhou sighed: “Oh, my family is unlucky. "My family was unlucky, so I married an unkind wife.
Brother Zhou lowered his head in shame: "Mom, it's all my fault. I didn't take care of Chunmei, so she was misled by her mother and her grandmother's family. "
Don't put it on yourself. It's not your problem. It's because they are too obsessed with it. Their hearts are higher than the sky and their hands are lower than their feet. They are afraid that they will suffer big losses sooner or later." "Grandma Zhou was not very happy. Chunmei and Liu Tong didn't know their own importance. Sooner or later, they would suffer a big loss.
Brother Zhou was also worried that the two girls would get into trouble, so he tried to prevent it as much as possible, just like letting Chunmei change her household registration, and the two would suffer a big loss. Chunmei's household registration was moved out and she got married. She was allowed to do whatever she wanted in her own small family and live her life however she wanted. He would not take the blame. He also believed that
Liu Tong and the Liu family would agree to his terms. Those people were all snobbish, looking down on the inferior and favoring the superior, despising the poor and loving the rich. It was precisely because he saw clearly that he slowly moved away from the Liu family.
In the past, the Zhou family was relatively wealthy, and the Liu family was very friendly and often came to keep in touch with each other. Since the Liu family had a little money seven or eight years ago, their wealth was richer than that of the Zhou family, so they no longer came to the Zhou family.
Guessing the Liu family's reaction, Brother Zhou hurried to his sister's house and told his sister and brother-in-law the news about Zhou Chunmei's marriage to her grandmother's house. He wanted to ask Brother Chao's brother to ask Attorney Xiao to draw up a sample contract. .
When Mr. Yi and Hua heard the news that the girl from the Zhou family was preparing to leave the court at her grandma's house, she was shocked by the shamelessness of the Liu family, the grandmother of the Zhou family's grandson. Historically, only when the son-in-law's family and the family were dead, and no elders made the decision anymore, could the grandma's family Will let the grandson get married at grandma's house.
But now, the girls of the Zhou family are well-off, and their grandmother is still alive, but the grandmother's family actually arranges for the granddaughter to come out of the family. This must be so shameless.
Lele's father, Zhou Qiufeng, was also shocked. From his brother's tone, he guessed that the man might have a large betrothal gift, and his grandmother's family was planning a betrothal gift. They said nothing and called Lele's beautiful brother to ask for support.
After returning to Beijing, the beautiful young man from the Chao family stayed at home for two days to accompany his grandmother, and then visited each other with his friends. When he received a call from his fourth uncle and his fourth aunt, he answered the call without saying a word, saying that a copy of the contract would be sent to Uncle Zhou tomorrow.
Sister-in-law Zhou ran out of the village despite the cold and arrived at the rice field area in the northwest direction of the village. Seeing no one around, she took out her mobile phone and called her natal brother and parents to discuss the conditions proposed by Zhou Xialong.
Liu Tong's younger brother Liu Jiagui was out looking for fun. When he received a call from his sister and heard that Zhou Xialong would not let Zhou Chunmei get married in the Liu family, he became anxious at that time. The man promised a large betrothal gift. How could the gift that came with the car be sent to the Liu family?
If the gift money is not sent to the Liu family, how could it fall into his own pocket?
For that windfall, Liu Jiagui rushed home in a hurry to discuss the big plan with his family.
Grandma Liu and Grandpa Liu also received a call from their daughter Liu Tong, offering advice on Zhou Chunmei's marriage to the Liu family. When her son came back, the whole family came up with suggestions.
The whole family discussed it for a long time, but in the end they couldn't bear to let the fat fly away. They unanimously agreed to accept the conditions proposed by Zhou Xialong. Isn't it just to become a family member? If Zhou Chunmei quarreled after getting married and needed support, they would go Just go through the motions, there is no risk.
Besides, one day Zhou Chunmei will really have something. Zhou Chunmei is Zhou Xialong's biological daughter after all, so Zhou Xialong can really not care about it.
As for relocating her household registration, Zhou Xialong was probably afraid that the girl's household registration would be at home. If Zhou Chunmei gave birth to a child, her household registration would also be transferred to the Zhou family, and she would need to share Zhou Tianming's family property, so she asked to move her household registration first.
After analysis, the young and old of the Liu family unanimously felt that Zhou Xialong's condition was not a big deal, so they quickly called Zhou Chunmei's boyfriend and said that the woman's father did not agree to Zhou Chunmei's marriage unless the man showed sincerity and issued a marriage certificate to Zhou Chunmei. The household registration must be moved to the groom's house before the banquet is held, otherwise there is no need to discuss it.
The man was originally unwilling to obtain a certificate to move his household first, but Liu Jiagui insisted that his brother-in-law had told him that he would not agree to his daughter's marriage unless he could do it, otherwise there would be a wedding that would make people unable to step down.
The two parties talked for a long time, and the man finally agreed, promising to apply for a marriage certificate and move house next week, and then hold a banquet on May Day.
Liu Jiagui reached an agreement with the man, and then contacted his sister to exchange opinions.
Sister-in-law Zhou discussed with her family for a while, waiting for her brother to discuss Zhou Chunmei's household registration issue with her husband. The weather was a bit cold, and she waited for a response from the cold wind for almost half an hour.
After the deal was settled, Mrs. Zhou rubbed her cold face, hurried home, rubbed her face and hands again outside the house, pretended to have just come back from a visit, walked into the kitchen, and didn't see Zhou Xialong. Pretend nothing happened, pack your things, and warm yourself by the fire.
Brother Zhou didn't go home until the evening, and he probably forgot what he had said to Liu Tong.
He was not in a hurry, but Mrs. Zhou was. When it was time to go to bed at night, she followed the man to the lower room and discussed in a low voice: "His father, what he said at noon... The man accepted the request to move, and my grandpa and his uncle... also... He said it will be done according to your request. Look, when will the matter be settled?"
Sure enough, the man must have promised a betrothal gift. That's why the Liu family was so anxious. Brother Zhou said casually: "Let's talk about it when we have time."
Sister-in-law Zhou was dumbfounded. Zhou Xialong wouldn’t want to go back on his word, would he?
She was afraid that Zhou Xialong would regret and change his mind, and wanted to hurry up and sign a contract, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously, and she was anxious in her heart.
Brother Zhou is not in a hurry, he just does whatever he has to do. He visits each other in the village, chats about what kind of rice will be planted this year, and exchanges information about where there is work and where to find part-time jobs.
He wandered around outside, and even went to Le's house in the evening. By the way, he received a sample of the contract from the Chao family brother. After reading the sample of the contract, he was stunned. A lawyer is a lawyer. He is thoughtful and considers the responsibilities of both parties. Everything is listed, and even the consequences of various disputes that may arise in the future are clearly written.
There are also things that need to be paid attention to when signing a contract listed by the lawyer. Not only must you sign and fingerprint, it is best to also write down your ID number and address.
After seeing the contract sample, Brother Zhou knew what was going on. He still pretended that nothing happened and wandered around, never mentioning the matter of signing the contract again.
He was not in a hurry. Sister-in-law Zhou was almost dying of it. She waited day after day. By the next Monday, Zhou Xialong didn't respond and didn't say anything about signing a contract. On Tuesday, she couldn't stand it anymore and urged her again. On Wednesday, she asked again. After urging, I still didn’t get a response. On Thursday, I simply followed Zhou Xialong in case he ran away.
After being urged several times, Brother Zhou was "forced" to agree to settle the contract on Friday. Sister Zhou immediately notified her family and asked her parents to come to Jiudao Township Street to sign the contract.
Liu Jiagui waited for a few days, almost thinking that the duck in his mouth was going to fly away, and he was so anxious that he quickly got angry. When his sister said that Zhou Xialong agreed to sign the contract, he dragged his family and drove to Xiang Street in Jiudao Township on Friday morning to meet his sister. After the brother-in-law met, he went to a copy shop to print out the contract.
Brother Zhou quietly took out a sample contract and asked his brother-in-law to copy it by hand.
Liu Jiagui couldn't help but hesitate after reading the terms in the contract, but then he thought of the expensive gift, and still couldn't resist the temptation. Finally, he gritted his teeth and copied several copies by hand, then filled in his ID number, address, and signed his signature. .
Liu Jiagui's daughter-in-law didn't want to sign at first. Brother Zhou said that no one in the Liu family could be missing and the contract would not count. He would never let Zhou Chunmei get married in the Liu family. She couldn't stand the hints of her men and the desire for the bride price. Sign and stamp.
The identity information of Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu was also filled in, and they also signed and stamped their signatures. Aunt Zhou Liu Tong also signed and fingerprinted.
Brother Zhou carefully compared the original sample with the actual contract sample to confirm that there were no typos or misleading places. He also signed and stamped the date and place of signing the contract.
The contract is made in duplicate, and each person who signs it has one copy.
Brother Zhou made several copies of his own in case of emergency.
After signing the contract, Brother Zhou walked away with his own contract. Liu Jiagui was so angry that he wanted to jump, but finally endured it, paid the fee, and happily returned to his home with his family, secretly waiting to receive the gift.
Zhou Ge made a contract with the Liu family and waited for the Liu family to bring the man to move Zhou Chunmei's household registration. He didn't wait long. On the second day of the second lunar month, Zhou Chunmei's prospective boyfriend went to apply for a marriage certificate with Zhou Chunmei and transferred Zhou Chunmei's household registration. Go to Zhu County.
