Chapter 39 A Good Show [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Tsk tsk, it seems that my eldest cousin is not such a saint after all.

If only she were a saint.

The eldest sister-in-law should be severely criticized now. How could she be a hindrance? She should take out all the money in the bottom of the box and take off her watch. She should not keep any money for the pregnancy and childbirth. What is the point of keeping it? Just give it all to the younger brothers.

Lu Yang hid behind the door.

He was laughing happily, thinking that his cousin was not completely hopeless.

Outside.

Several dumbfounded younger brothers stared at their eldest brother blankly. Suddenly, it seemed as if they didn't know him. Was this still their eldest brother who was willing to serve as a servant to his children and regarded his elder brother as a father and gave him good advice?

"No, I don't agree."

Among the brothers, Lu Youli was the first to react. He said hysterically, "Brother, how could you do this? We agreed that this money was to be used to help us brothers get married. How could you use it to build a house?"

If that's true.

Then all his plans would be ruined, and what he just did would seem like a clowning one.

His aunt said: "How about we discuss this again? It's not easy for him to find a wife, and now he's about to get married. As the eldest brother, you should give in to your younger brother, right?"

My aunt also tried to persuade me.

It seems that the fifth brother has said a lot of nice things in front of her, coaxing her so much that she can't tell who is really contributing to this family.

His eldest cousin shook his head and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't give in to my younger brother, but I can't. If I give in this time, our family will fall apart. Look at my third brother and sixth brother, who aren't they eager to get married?"

There was a pause.

His eyes gradually became stern.

"But no matter how anxious you are, you can't plot against your own brothers."

Speaking of it.

His eldest cousin said with a firm face: "It's settled. When I build the new house, I will vacate the old house and use it to help my brothers get married. Mom, don't interrupt me."

He has been supporting the Lu family since he was a teenager. His eldest cousin also behaves like a patriarch. He has been feeling sorry for his younger brothers for a long time and regards his eldest brother as his father. However, it is also true that he has the final say in this family.

Lu Youyi remained silent: "I agree."

After his elder brother came out just now, his spirits finally recovered a little, and he was no longer as grief-stricken as before.

The sixth brother, Lu Youzhi, rolled his eyes, raised his hand and said, "I agree too. My eldest brother has worked hard to earn money, so he should build a house for him and his wife first. Besides, after we free up an old house, whether it's the third brother or the fifth brother, if they really want to get married, they can use this old house as their new home. My eldest brother got married in this old house last year."

3: 1.

Among the four adult cubs, three have clearly supported the eldest brother to use the money to build a house.

His aunt had no choice but to shut her mouth.

If I say more, I will be disliked.

Lu Youli was very unhappy, as he had already promised the matchmaker that as long as he got the money and collected 500 yuan, he would use it to propose marriage immediately. Moreover, his father-in-law also said that he would not really embezzle the money from him, but was just testing his sincerity. When the date was set, the money would be returned along with the dowry.

After I get married, maybe I can use the money to build a new house for her to live in.

By then I’ll have something to brag about in the village.

Unfortunately, such a good thing was ruined by the third and fifth brothers.

Now we can only look forward to this old house left behind after my eldest brother moves away.

Think of this.

He forced himself to suppress his anger and said pitifully: "Brother, the money is earned by you, and now you want to use it to build a new house. No matter what Xiaowu says, it's of no use. But Lao San is unwilling to lend me his watch. So, brother, can you lend me your watch for a few days? That should be okay?" Lu Youren's face froze when he heard that.

He didn't want to borrow it either.

From the moment he put on his watch, he treated it as his second wife. He was reluctant to let others touch it, let alone lend it to them.

However, now that the fifth brother had been rejected by the third brother, and he had deprived him of the opportunity to marry a wife with the money he earned himself, if he did not lend him the watch, he would probably feel resentful.

It’s really hard to be the big brother.

Think of this.

He looked a little hesitant and said, "Are you sure I won't lose it if I just borrow it for a few days?"

Lu Youli pointed to the sky and swore: "It must be borrowed for a few days only. I will take it to Ah Zhen to have a good look at our eldest brother's watch, so that she can have an idea in her mind. It's not that our family is short of money, but it's just that it's difficult for the time being. Maybe after she sees the watch, she will agree, and she won't even need our family to pay any more gifts, and will agree to marry into our family."

Lu Youren nodded.

This is a good idea. If I just lend out a watch, it can help the fifth brother get married. Not to mention lending it to the fifth brother for a few days, even if I lend it to him for ten days or half a month, and then return it to him as the eldest brother after the new wife comes home, that's fine.

Think of this.

He lowered his head and reluctantly took off the watch on his wrist.

Be cruel.

Prepared to hand it to Lu Youli whose eyes were shining.

Just at this time.

Someone got in between the two of them.

"and many more…"

Lu Youzhi, the sixth oldest, smiled at his eldest brother and said, "Brother, don't rush to give the watch to the fifth brother. I have a rumor here. It is said that the blind date of the fifth brother, Guo Azhen from the next village, has a brother named Guo Aqiang, who is one year older than my fifth brother and also unmarried. He often spreads the word that if you want to marry his sister, you have to exchange marriages with the Guo family. If you don't want to exchange marriages, you have to give 500 yuan and buy a treasure from the three-turn and one-ring for him, the eldest brother-in-law, otherwise he will not agree."

Speaking of it.

The sixth brother glanced at the fifth brother, whose face was becoming increasingly gloomy, with a half-smile.

Then he just pretended that he had taken the wrong path and stepped aside as if nothing had happened.

How could Lu Youren not understand at this time?

He put the watch back on himself, and then looked at the helpless Lu Youli with a vicious look: "Old Five, do you have anything else to say? Did Old Six wrongly accuse you?"

"My...brother..."

Lu Youli wanted to explain, but he didn't know how. He was about to get the thing, but suddenly Lao Liu showed up and ruined everything. Thinking of this, he even wanted to kill someone.

What else to explain?
"Yes, I have this idea, but I can't do anything about it. Her elder brother is greedy and he insisted that I buy him a treasure from a three-turn and one-ring machine before he would marry his sister. But I promise, there is no such thing as a 500 yuan betrothal gift. Those are all rumors. Even if there is, his father said that he will pay it back together with the dowry when the time comes."

"Okay, if you want to believe it, that's your business, but don't mention the watch in the future. If you really have the ability, we brothers will not object even if you buy your brother-in-law a mountain of gold and silver. But if you want to use our things to please the family of your daughter-in-law who hasn't even entered the door yet, then this marriage is not going to happen."

Lu Yang's eldest cousin interrupted his younger brother directly.

Obviously, he was really angry.

I didn't expect that I almost got cheated.

Inside the main room, Lu Yang had almost had enough of the joke and walked out holding the hand of his wife Yin Mingyue, smiling.

"Oh, they're all here. It's so lively."
