Chapter 801: Wife
In the bazaar, most of them give money, and those who find a home give things without money, and the lives of the master and apprentice are guaranteed. If it weren't for the apprentice's deliberate efforts to buy delicious food for the master, and to find him Chinese medicine treatment everywhere, it is estimated that the two of them would have to have a surplus.
The villagers all said that the old man was a good person and had a good reward, and he risked his life to help the prisoners of labor reform, who knew that he helped a famous doctor and obtained ancestral medical skills. Lin Lao accepted an apprentice, who was more filial than his own children.
There is a family of seven daughters in the old man's village, many children have a difficult life, and the housewife is only 38 years old, and every tooth is broken, and she often has toothaches and sleepless days and nights. Knowing that there was a good dentist in her village, but her family was poor, she was embarrassed to seek medical treatment.
Her eldest daughter was just seventeen years old, and when she saw that her mother was really miserable, she went to the old man's house and begged the master and apprentice to treat her mother's teeth, expressing her willingness to be a wife to her apprentice, and the bride price she asked for was to give her mother free dental treatment.
The old man's home is in this village, and he also understands the situation of their family, which is a very poor family in the village, and the family only has two sets of cotton clothes, which were purchased when the couple got married.
The family is poor and has a good character, and the seven daughters not only support them, but also value them more, no matter how poor they are, they don't say that they will exchange their daughters for a high bride price.
The girl's parents are reluctant to have their own daughter, and they will live a hard life like themselves in the future, even if they don't want a bride price, they have to find a good family for their daughter.
The custom here is to get engaged at fifteen or sixteen, and it is normal to get married at seventeen or eighteen, and the legal age for marriage is not enough.
The girl's family is notoriously poor, and it is not easy to find a good family for the child, so the eldest daughter is seventeen years old and still not engaged.
The people in the village say that the two are stupid, the seven handsome daughters, two or three years apart, the eldest daughter is seventeen years old, and she can live a good life if she finds a mother-in-law's family to ask for a bride price.
Although the people here are poor, they are willing to spend a lot of money to find a daughter-in-law. The key is that there are more men and fewer women, and it is not easy to find a daughter-in-law.
People are backward in thinking, do not pay attention to their daughters, life and death are fateful, and they are not treated when they get sick, and the casualty rate of girls is relatively high. Like their family, there are not many families whose seven daughters are raised.
The girl's mother had another toothache, this time it was so bad that she didn't close her eyes for two days and one night. The girl couldn't bear it, so she ran out and found the old man while her parents weren't paying attention.
The master and apprentice did not dare to agree to the girl's conditions of marriage, but he and the apprentice followed the girl home and went to her mother to treat her mother's teeth.
Their family is really poor, and a curtain is drawn on the kang to separate the inside and outside. Several daughters are afraid of the cold, so they wear single clothes and nest on the kang, and there is a quilt at home, and the mothers are huddled together to keep warm.
The woman had lost a few of her teeth, and all seven of her remaining teeth were broken. According to her, her mother's family was like this, and her teeth fell out before she was forty.
The master and apprentice treated her bad teeth, temporarily stopped the pain, and told her that she had to extract the teeth slowly, and after a month of extraction, she would have a mouthful of dentures, and she would not be in the way of eating.
The woman smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, the family is really poor, the children can't even eat potatoes, so if you have money to treat your teeth, they will fall out sooner or later, so it hurts."
There are no rare things at home, there is a big copper plate here, which was given to me by my grandmother, although it is not valuable, you can keep it as a thing. Later, when I have money, I will be the first to give it back to you. ”
The copper plate that the woman touched out of the sewing kit was really not small, with a diameter of five centimeters, and because of frequent strokes, the surface was bright and clear, without a trace of patina.
The old man confiscated her things, but told her, "You go and change the medicine again tomorrow, and give it when you have money." The two of us have a good dental package, no matter how many times we look at it, we will receive a return of money. ”
I heard that I would be charged once, and I was treated today anyway, and I had to owe money if I didn't see it, so the woman simply continued the treatment, anyway, from the beginning of the treatment to the tooth extraction, she didn't suffer any sin.
When the mother's teeth were healed, the eldest daughter told her parents about her decision. Cousin Zhao Fang, in addition to being older, is really a good candidate.
is educated, knows medical skills, has good character, is filial to the master, and is also a talent, looking younger than the actual age, and it is only twenty-five or sixteen.
The only thing that makes people uneasy is that his master and apprentice himself said that the family conditions are good, and people here rarely go far away, and no one knows the real situation.
The girl's parents said that they did not agree with anything, and the girl herself was iron-hearted.
"Okay, I admit it, his family is in good condition, we will go back, his family is in a bad situation, we will live here, no matter what, we can help you. ”
"Silly boy, you think well, what kind of people are his parents, you are a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and you have never been far away, you were led out and sold, and your father and mother don't know it. We have fewer girls here who have been deceived and sold?
Daddy doesn't want you to help the village, as long as you live well, we are happier than anything else. ”
The girl smiled bitterly and persuaded her parents: "Daddy, it's been two years, and you haven't seen it clearly, who dares to marry our family if we are a good family here."
Although you don't want a bride price, I don't have a brother, and I'm the boss, so in the future, you will have to pay for your old age.
If you don't care for the elderly, you can't afford to lose people, so who wants to cause trouble. After two more years, I won't be able to find a suitable person, and we won't even be able to find an ordinary person.
Your second elder let me be a family for once, and I recognized it anyway. I think the apprentice of the eldest grandfather is good, if it weren't for the poor composition in the past, people wouldn't be able to drag it out until now. ”
The girl's parents saw that their daughter was determined to marry, so they had to find the old man to inquire about the situation, and the old man and the apprentice had been friends for less than a year, and the specific situation of his family was really unclear.
I know that the apprentice's hometown life is better than here, and there are many people working in the water in Shennan, and the old people who usually talk about it have also heard a lot. Moreover, the apprentice also has an eldest sister who also works in Shennan, and he went to the construction site to find his brother on his day off, and the old man has seen him a few times, and he is a good child who is sensible.
In the past two years, there have been people in Ganning who have gone out to work, but most of them have not been heard from for a long time, and no one dares to let their children go out after a long time.
It is said that men were deceived into working in black coal kilns, and girls were abducted and bought as daughters-in-law.
Most of the people in the waterfront areas go out to work, and most of them are organized by the county and township governments, and a few people follow their fellow villagers, and they are rarely deceived. Of course, there are a very small number of people who have been scammed.
