Chapter 254 He is the cannon fodder control group (10)
"In theory, there are three matchmakers and six engagements, and there are many procedures, but we in the countryside don't pay too much attention to it. Generally, the matchmaker comes to propose marriage, and the exchange of horoscopes and engagement cards is considered a settlement. After choosing a good day and holding a wedding banquet, it is considered complete."
Aunt Zhao hesitated for a moment and then said, "But I want to take care of the boy as soon as possible. Your situation is special, so the matchmaker may be omitted. After all, your uncle directly..."
Everyone can understand the content in the ellipsis.
That was directly and undisguisedly blaming Gu Yao, and proposing marriage? Wouldn't that be just asking for something in return from Si Lao Er, or even asking for an exorbitant amount of money?
It’s not that Man Ge’er is not worthy of the bride price, but it’s not worthy if it falls on Si Laoer and his wife.
"But Gu Xiaozi thinks highly of you. Don't overthink it, Man'er. He just wants you to settle down as soon as possible. Besides, as long as the couple lives well, it's real. All the other titles are false, right?"
Si Cen certainly didn't care whether the etiquette was complete or the ceremony was grand.
He didn't want to make things too complicated.
He felt sorry for his son Tutu, who was busy running around these days with a lame leg, but that boy was very rigid. He wouldn't even let them hold hands, let alone sleep together before they got married, let alone look at his legs.
He also wanted to complete this marriage as soon as possible, to be honest with Tu Tu as soon as possible, so as to cure his lame leg.
He was sleepy this morning when Tu Tu was about to go out. It was because he was with Tu Tu that he could sleep so soundly without worry, otherwise he would never be allowed to limp up the mountain. He could just make do with the meal.
Aunt Zhao stayed with him for a while, and then left after seeing him drink the medicine.
She doesn't have nothing to do all day, she has a little grandson to take care of at home.
Gu Yao had been gone for three days and had not returned, and Si Cen became increasingly irritable.
Just after dinner on the third day, as soon as Aunt Zhao left, an uninvited guest came to the shabby hut of the family.
"Tsk, you live in such a shabby hut? My god, there's not even a courtyard wall. A wolf came down from the mountain and carried Mange away. Hahaha."
It sounded a bit childish and had a bit of a duck voice. Although it was the first time Si Cen heard it, he guessed who it belonged to.
Soon, several people walked into the house without any courtesy.
The straw curtain that served as a door to the outer room was pulled open, and Si Cen looked at it coldly.
It was his uncle, aunt, and a half-grown fat boy.
"Brother Man, why are you lying on the bed at this time? Are you still sick? I heard that the doctor has been to your house several times. Is your illness so serious?"
Si Cen showed no expression and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"Alas, why are you still so rude? Your uncle, aunt and brother came to visit you, but you didn't say anything and served them tea and showed them a seat. Instead, you spoke so coldly. If it gets out, people will laugh at you."
"Oh? You come to visit me with your mouth? Even the aunt next door who is not related to me knows to bring some eggs to my door, but you come here with your hands waving? You open your mouth and curse me to be seriously ill, do you have manners?"
Mother Si looked at Si Cen in astonishment. How come this bastard suddenly became so sharp-tongued?
Her expression suddenly turned ugly, and the little fat boy looked at Si Cen with a face full of flesh, "How do you talk to my mother? You are still so annoying, you fat guy who brought misfortune to your parents!"
"Who is the fat guy scolding?"
"The fat guy scolded you, so why do you still dare to hit me like before?"
Si Cen didn't say anything, but just looked at Si Guangyao and smiled sarcastically.
Si Guangyao didn't understand his textual trap, but he could tell that he was mocking him, and he became even angrier.
Si Lao Er said, "What are you arguing about? Brother Man, your aunt and brother are just talking nonsense. Don't bother with them. We are here to tell you that you and Gu Yao's marriage should be done as soon as possible to avoid the bad gossip in the village."
Si Cen looked at the second uncle who had a very low sense of presence in the original owner's memory, and saw through him at a glance that he was a hypocritical person who was good at disguise. Not only was he hypocritical, he was also vicious.
The original owner's parents had been in the mountain product business for 10 to 20 years. They could walk from Da'ao Village to the county with their eyes closed without getting lost. How could they suddenly run into bad guys?
You know, although there have been occasional years with poor harvests in recent years, not so many people have starved to death. Qingzhou Prefecture has strict management of the counties and towns under its jurisdiction, and there are no rampant bandits here.
Si Cen didn't think that they were targeted by chance.
"Although your parents are gone, we are still here. As your blood relatives, we can't just sit there and watch you get married. We came here today to talk to Gu Yao about your marriage. Man, don't think we are rude for coming here suddenly. The main thing is that we were waiting for you at home before, and you and Gu Xiaozi didn't come back at all."
Si Lao Er had a smile on his face and spoke in a very friendly tone, but what he said was actually accusing Gu Yao and Si Cen of not knowing etiquette and not respecting him as their elder, and not only for not taking the initiative to visit them but also for asking their elders to come in person to inquire about the matter.
He has been a peasant for half his life, and now that he has become rich by plotting to take over his brother's property, he starts to act arrogantly.
Si Cen would never indulge him.
"What blood relationship? It sounds so nice. How come I heard that my grandmother, your mother, is a step-grandmother? You and my father are only half-blood apart, and the remaining half is probably very thin in my case. When my parents were still alive, they promised that I would decide my marriage myself. You, my half-blood uncle, still want to decide for me? Who gave you the courage? Was it the huge fortune left by my parents, or your mistress, your biological mother under the loess?"
Si Guangyao's mouth opened into a duck egg.
Mother Si was shocked, and the second son's face turned pale.
Si Cen's grandparents fled here and settled down. Not long after, his grandmother fell seriously ill and died. Old Man Si remarried in order to take care of his only son, Si Lao Da, who was still young at the time, and to better integrate him into Da'ao Village. The child born to this second wife was Si Lao Er.
"Brother Man, how dare you talk to your uncle like that! We took pity on you after your parents died and worked so hard to take care of you, but you are such a heartless person!"
Si Guangyao also roared, "You're looking for death, Fatty! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
As he said that, he rushed forward to beat Si Cen.
It was at this time that there was a plop and then a sound of "ouch".
The little fat boy Si Guangyao flew out of the house in a parabola.
Mother Si screamed, "My son...Ahhhhhhh, he killed someone!"
Si Cen looked at Gu Yao who suddenly rushed in and threw the naughty kid out, his eyes shining with surprise, "Gu...Ayao, you're back!"
Gu Yao looked at Si Cen with pity, walked in front of him to block him, and slowly turned to look at the people in the room.
The scolding that Gu Laoer was about to say was stuck in his throat when he saw Gu Yao clearly, and he couldn't utter a word.
He was holding a bloody wild animal in his hand, and blood was still dripping down.
The already sharp and cold face was filled with hostility.
Like a butcher, no, a murderous evil star.
