Chapter 8 Thanks to the big brother and father-in-law on the list!
"Listen to me, folks."

"As everyone knows, my apprentice Lu Yang is just an orphan. He has no house to live in. The house that his father left behind after his death has holes on the roof like stars in the sky, each bigger than a fist. It is estimated that it will collapse soon. It is no longer a place for people to live."

"But as the old saying goes, an apprentice is worth half a son. This Luyang kid has been learning carpentry from me since he was thirteen. I taught him carpentry by hand. I am his master. He is now old enough to get married and have children, but he has no home and no place to put even a table. As his master, I feel sorry for him. I have no choice but to help him and lend him my own house as a temporary wedding house. Fellow villagers, is there anything wrong with what I, Yin Laosi, did?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old branch secretary on the stage took the lead in applauding.

"Benevolence and righteousness!"

"Old Four is kind and righteous. Too kind and righteous."

"It's really difficult. Traditionally, after teaching an apprentice, the apprentice has to honor the master on time. This master arranged a marriage for the apprentice, gave him people, provided him money, and lent him a house. If this gets out, who wouldn't give a thumbs up?"

"That's right, everyone misunderstood Old Four."

"Old Fourth Yin, great job, are you still going to accept an apprentice? My kid is tough, but he doesn't like to study. He has graduated from elementary school, and I don't think he will go to junior high school. If you like him, how about I come to your house?"

"And me, my child is a junior high school graduate, has a quick mind, and is guaranteed to be easy to teach."

"My baby is pretty good too, he follows me and is quite strong, but he eats a lot."

For a moment, the situation on the scene gradually went astray.

A hint of pride appeared on Lu Yang's lips. He knew it would be like this. No matter how lively it is, it is not as important as one's own interests. If it is profitable, who would care about watching a joke?

But don't worry, if it's just this, it's still not enough to eliminate the impact of the whole thing.

Lu Yang is thick-skinned and doesn't care about other people's eyes.

But my younger sister couldn't stand that kind of look, and he wouldn't allow it.

If Sister Mingyue marries him, he will be responsible for both of their lives. Sister Mingyue has grown up under the ridicule and taunting of people around her. If after she marries him, this kind of ridicule and taunting will continue to accompany her throughout her life, doesn't it make him, Lu Yang, appear incompetent?
I've been reborn, but I can't even solve this problem. I might as well just find a shoelace to hang myself.

So, from the moment he was reborn, Lu Yang was wondering, is there any way to solve it?

Thanks to my father-in-law, who is the No.1 brother on the list!
The solution Lu Yang came up with was very simple. He used money to throw it hard until these people's eyes turned red. After all, what could be more enviable than marrying a beautiful wife who was kind-hearted, had a generous dowry, and was considerate?

"Fellow villagers, there is no rush to find an apprentice. If there is a young man in your family who is suitable and wants to be a carpenter's apprentice, as long as he is hardworking and meets the requirements, I will definitely accept him as long as my small carpentry workshop can accommodate him."

"But before that, I have something to announce."

The old man Yin on the stage already looked a little proud.

He had not expected that he would be so popular. It seemed that what his disciple Yangzi said was right. As long as I could follow his method, it would not only solve the current dilemma of lack of manpower in the workshop, but also greatly enhance my reputation. By the way, the key is that the apprentice does not need to be paid before he graduates, just provide meals.

Forget it, just consider it as a favor to my daughter, and let this guy get away with it.

Thinking of this, Old Man Yin said to the audience, "Just now I was in the back and heard many of you laughing loudly. Maybe many of you think that my daughter is not worthy of Lu Yang. After all, my daughter has a stutter. I admit that, but my daughter is kind!" "She knows that Lu Yang is an orphan and doesn't have a decent home to shelter her from the wind and rain, but she is still willing to follow him wholeheartedly. In this regard, is she worse than any other girl?"

"I remember one night, my daughter said to the old man with great difficulty: Dad, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Your son-in-law can't live in the Yin family forever. After the wedding, you can let your daughter go with him."

"The old man was a rough man, and he didn't take it seriously at the time. It was his wife who reminded him: The girl was worried about her son-in-law and didn't want to hurt him with rumors. After all, she was married and lived in her father-in-law's house for a long time. If she said it out, it would not sound good."

"Sure enough, look at what happened today. It's all a misunderstanding, right?"

"In this case."

"Before I went on stage, I was thinking that I have to take care of my own daughter. I can't just watch her cry all day long. So I have made a decision, and I'm announcing it in front of everyone today."

The words paused.

Old man Yin continued, "I am going to take out 5000 yuan to serve as my daughter's dowry. As for the use of this money, whether it is used to build a new house or to find a way to make a living to revitalize their little family, it is up to the young couple to decide. My daughter's mother, why don't you hurry up and bring the money up."

Ma Xiulan let out an "ah", returned to the house in a panic, and took out a big bag.

He walked up to Old Man Yin and handed it to him reluctantly.

Old man Yin just threw it on the ground.

He squatted down, opened the bag, faced everyone, removed the newspaper covering it, revealing five neatly stacked big black tens inside, no more, no less, exactly 5000.

While everyone was stunned.

Old man Yin said fiercely, "Look carefully, I don't feel bad about this money, nor do I mean to show off my wealth. I show it to you all to tell you that my daughter is not bad and is more than enough to match anyone. From now on, if anyone dares to say anything bad about my daughter or point fingers at her behind her back, no matter if you are a young girl or a young man, an old woman or a man, living in the east or west of the village, and how many people you have in your family, you'd better think twice before I find out, or I'll be angry with you."

For a long time, the yard was silent.

At the same time, all the villagers turned their eyes to the protagonists of today's wedding, Lu Yang, and Yin Mingyue, whose hand was held by him and who was secretly moved to tears by her parents.

"What a talented man and beautiful woman!"

"Yes, it seems like they are a perfect match. A few minor flaws are not a big deal."

"Who says it's not true? If I had a father-in-law as generous as this, I would be happy even if he was a mute, deaf, or had a broken leg, let alone a stutterer!"

"Hey, I've said it before, this kid from the Lu family is smart since he was young, and he will have a promising future when he grows up. Isn't this what has come true?"

"Many people can't earn 5000 yuan in their lifetime. This Lu family kid got married and married a wife, just like marrying a gold nugget. I think the feng shui of the Lu family's ancestral tomb is good. Otherwise, why did Yin Lao Si fall in love with him, Lu Yang, instead of others? It won't be long before our village will have a second millionaire."
