Chapter 113 Changing Bride

When the seven-year-old Chu Qing saw that it was his second grandfather who was asking the question, he quickly stood up, wiped his nose and replied, "My father has gone to the ground. What's wrong with my second grandfather?"

The elder of the second clan did not answer. He looked at his distant nephew and asked, "Where is your sister?"

"Sister and brother are going to carry water and will be back soon." Chu Qing said and wiped her nose again.

The second clan elder frowned, turned around and asked his fourth cousin, "Want to stay and take a look?"

"Of course!" The fourth of the four clans looked down and found a smooth root to sit down on.

He wanted to see with his own eyes whether this female doll was really suitable.

Chu Qing woke up and saw that the two elders refused to leave, so he quickly went back to the house and moved a long bench for them to sit on.

The four elders nodded and asked, "Your name is Qing'er, right? What's your sister's name?"

Chu Qing: "My sister's name is Chu Chu."

"Chu Chu, the name is good. Did your father tell her about her husband's family?" the elder of the four tribes continued to ask.

Chu Qing blinked and shook his head blankly, "I don't know."

Elders of the four ethnic groups: "How old is your sister this year?"

This Chu Qing knew: "My sister is fifteen years old, and my father said that when my sister celebrates her birthday, he will go to the town to buy a piece of cloth and make new clothes for her."

The elder of the four tribes stroked his beard and thought for a moment before asking: "Qing'er is seven years old this year. Do you want to go to school?"

Chu Qing blinked and looked at Fourth Grandpa blankly.

At this moment, Chu Chu and Da Di came back carrying a large bucket of water.

Seeing the two elders of the clan sitting at the door of their house, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"Sister, you are back. Second Grandpa is looking for you." Chu Qing happily ran over to help hold the bucket.

Chu Chu nodded towards the two clan elders, and carried the bucket into the kitchen with his eldest brother, and then came out to greet the two clan elders, "Second Grandpa, Fourth Grandpa."

The four tribes couldn't help but nod their heads when they saw that the girl behaved in a measured and generous manner.

I also saw that the red spot on her forehead was no bigger than the size of a fingertip. As long as she covered it with her bangs, it wouldn't be noticeable at all.

And this female doll has a beautiful face and clear eyes. At first glance, she is a sensible and sensible child. The elders of the four tribes are even more satisfied.

He stood up and said to Chu Chu: "Chu Chu, when your father comes back, ask him to go to Chujia Village. The clan leader has something to discuss with him."

Chu Chu was surprised, but she didn't ask anything and responded softly: "Okay, I will tell dad when he comes back."

The elders of the fourth clan walked back with their hands behind their backs. As they walked, they asked the elders of the second clan: "Second brother, how long has it been since Chu Laoshi?"

The old man from the second clan thought for a while: "It will be about four or five years ago. The young boy will leave then, and the girl will take care of him while doing things."

"What's going on with his kid named Brother Yan?" The elders of the four tribes were more concerned about this.

Everyone in the village knew that the eldest son of Chu Laoshi's family was not his biological son, but was brought by his second wife.

Speaking of which, the situation in Chu Laoshi's family is indeed a bit complicated, so a good girl like Chu Chu is already fifteen years old, and no matchmaker has come to visit.

"Chu Yan can take Chu Laoshi's surname. Naturally, he recognizes Chu Laoshi as his father. He is not a child adopter for Chu Chu as rumored outside."

The elder of the second clan naturally knew what the fourth cousin wanted to say, so he explained it to him.

Chu Chu was born to Chu Laoshi's first wife. When Chu Chu was three years old, his ex-wife fell ill and died.

Three years later, when Chu Laoshi went to work, he brought back a refugee woman. The woman also brought a five-year-old boy named Yan Ge.

Later, the woman gave birth to a son Chu Laoshi and named him Chu Qing. Unfortunately, the woman fell ill and died when Chu Qing was about two years old.

From then on, Chu Laoshi became even more taciturn and refused to remarry.

People in the village said that Chu Laoshi was a widower who suppressed his wife and didn't even treat his children very well.

The elders of the four tribes nodded: "It's good that it's not what the rumors say."

He was also worried that Chu Laoshi had already assigned Chu Chu to Chu Yan. In that case, he would appear to be bullying if he mentioned it again.

The Jiang family in Dongchen Village.

After seeing off all their relatives, everyone in the Jiang family looked tired.

This wedding was arranged by my own family, which was very frustrating.

The son was injured and the bride was taken away. The bride's family still refused to cancel the engagement and insisted on choosing a new girl.

What kind of thing is this? I have never encountered it in the past. It is simply too numerous to describe.

Jiang Dalang and Zhou would definitely not agree to this weird suggestion.

Dani has already cleaned up all the items in her eldest brother's new house, which were brought by the woman's family. She has moved everything into the side room and will return it to the Chu family when she has time.

This includes two red-lacquered wooden boxes given to the woman as a dowry, two quilts, a dressing box, a toilet, a wash basin, a foot basin and a bath basin.

Dani collects all her belongings together and gives them to her eldest brother to count when he wakes up.

Unexpectedly, before Jiang Cheng woke up, someone else came from the Chu family.

This time, a total of more than a dozen members of the Chu family came, as well as several female relatives.

What left the Jiang family speechless the most was that they actually brought a sedan chair.

The sedan chair stopped directly at the gate of Jiang Dalang's new house. Two strange matchmakers helped a petite newlywed get out of the sedan chair.

Jiang Dalang was so angry that he laughed, "Clan Chief Chu, what do you mean?"

The leader of the Chu family laughed and said: "My father-in-law, this is the most outstanding child of my Chu family. He is about the same age as your son, and his appearance is definitely worthy of him."

He turned to greet the girl with a hijab: "Chu Chu, come and meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

The two matchmakers quickly helped the girl forward and saluted.

The little girl slept obediently, and bowed down Yingying: "Chuchu, hello to my parents."

Zhou was so angry that she turned around and went back to the house.

Of course, she was not angry with the girl, but angry with the head of the Chu family for being so shameless.

The family had already made it clear that they wanted to cancel the engagement and not change the bride, but in the end, the Chu clan leader still sent her here.

Jiang Dalang also gritted his teeth secretly and said in a deep voice: "Clan Chief Chu, are you relying on your old man to betray me and defraud me that there is no one in the Jiang family?"

Patriarch Chu: "No matter what the in-laws said, I also chose a suitable child for the sake of reconciliation between the two families."

Before Jiang Dalang could speak, Chief Chu said again: "Well, if your family really doesn't want to, you might as well let this child stay to take care of your son. When your son recovers, you can send her home. This belongs to my Chu family. Sorry, my father-in-law doesn’t have to refuse.”

Jiang Dalang refused: "What are you talking about? My son will be taken care of by himself, so Chief Chu doesn't have to worry about it. If you really feel guilty, please just return my son's marriage certificate and betrothal gift."

He didn't want to compromise with the Chu family anymore and directly asked for the marriage certificate and betrothal gift.

This time, Patriarch Chu didn't say anything more. He called to the juniors next to him to bring the betrothal gift and marriage certificate, and presented them with both hands.

"There are a total of one hundred and fifty taels of silver here. The thirty taels given by the betrothed, the betrothal gift, and some other odds and ends, I converted into ten taels privately and added them. The remaining thirty taels are for the prince's medicine. Please ask your in-laws to see the money."

Patriarch Chu's posture was very low, which made Jiang Dalang feel a little bit embarrassed.

After taking the money and the marriage certificate, and confirming that they were correct, he asked Jiang Quan to move into the house.

Jiang Quan and Dani took out Chu Man's dowry items one by one and gave them to the Chu clan leader.

Chief Chu didn't say anything, and ordered his clan members to pick it up and put it in the car, ready to take it back.

Then the leader of the Chu family left, and Jiang Dalang didn't try to stay.

After the sedan and the mule and carriage had gone away, the Jiang family finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to go home one after another.

Suddenly, they saw a petite girl standing at the door of their house, wearing a bright red dress. She was not the substitute bride brought by the Chu clan leader.

"Why didn't you go back with them?" Dani couldn't help but ask.
