Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 791

Mother Liu looked at her sister and said helplessly, "Second sister, as you said, my daughter is old. Instead of letting her marry a widow or an old bachelor, I would rather let her marry Ah Li. He is still very young and he works hard to pay off the debt. There is nothing wrong with borrowing money to marry a wife."

"Then, how much is Ah Hua’s bride price?" the second aunt asked again.

"Same as other women, 10 yuan," Father Liu said nonchalantly while sipping his tea.

When the Liu family heard what he said, they all looked at him with wide eyes. This was the first time they had seen their father lie to someone else so casually.

Mother Liu understood her second sister’s character and added, "Well, at least Ah Hua is married now, and we no longer have any worries."

She seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Second sister, I heard that my nephew has found a partner. Have you chosen a wedding date?"

"Fourth Aunt, I won’t hide it from you. We are here today to borrow some money from you. The bride’s family asked for a bride price of 50 yuan, and our money is only enough for the wedding banquet. I wonder if you can lend us 50 yuan," the second aunt’s son asked.

Hearing this, everyone in the Liu family looked at each other, as if they were in trouble. Mother Liu hesitated for a moment and finally said, "My nephew, it’s not that your fourth aunt doesn’t want to lend you money. However, 50 yuan is a lot of money."

"It took our family a whole year to save 10 yuan. We used it to pay for our children’s school fees. Where is the extra money to lend you?" she added.

When the second aunt’s son heard this, he deflated like a frozen eggplant and sat there with his head lowered. He was very old and plain-looking. Apart from being stronger than others, he really has no advantages.

This time, the matchmaker finally found a young woman willing to marry him, despite the huge age difference. If he misses this opportunity, he may have to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. If he cannot continue his family lineage, he will not be able to face his ancestors when he dies.

Liu Hua looked at his cousin and sighed. Her cousin is an honest and good man, but he has a mother who likes to control everything. Even if he marries a wife, she may leave because of her mother’s nagging.

While she was deep in thought, she heard her second aunt say, "Ah Hua, I heard that your wedding banquet was prepared by your friend. Judging from the food, your friend seems to be very rich. Can you borrow some money from your friend to help your brother?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Hua said, "It’s impossible."

"Why not? If your friend can provide so much meat and fresh vegetables, she should be able to lend you 50 yuan. Or maybe you don’t want to help my brother?" asked the second aunt’s daughter.

Ignoring her cousin’s provocative tone, Liu Hua said, "The ingredients were picked from the mountain and the vegetables were grown by my friend. The banquet didn’t cost more than 10 yuan. If you want money, go to the mountains and find mushrooms. If you are lucky, you can even find wild honey."

"Even if you don’t have money, if my cousin can give them dried mushrooms and wild honey, they might be willing to let their daughter marry him," she added.
