Chapter 4: A Disgusting Marriage
"Ahh
Xiao Zhang's heart was crazy and he raised his hand to fight.
Erya couldn't see her sister being beaten, so she picked up the farm tool next to her and slapped it on the back of Xiao Zhang's head.
"Whew~" Xiao Zhang screamed and held his head and nested on the ground.
The second girl is not big, but in a hurry, his strength is ten out of ten, not to mention, and even a little extraordinary.
Xiao Zhang is the daughter of Zhang's mother's brother, and she is very arrogant because of Zhang's patron.
Old man Li and Mrs. Liu came when they heard the sound.
"What are you doing, old man?!" Old man Li shouted angrily, "Get out of here!"
Li Cuncai and Zhang also heard it, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"What's wrong with the old man?" shouted Zhang, "Didn't she untie her hands?"
Li Mingcian covered the numb scalp that was dragged by Xiao Zhang's and his eyes were cold: "Sick." ”
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed a piece of explosives, thinking that if Xiao Zhang's and them did it to her again, she would blow them up and couldn't take care of themselves.
Old man Li looked at the dumb Er Ya and the ruthless Sanya and closed his eyes very sadly: "Er Ya and Sanya go back to the house, you all come with me." ”
Li Mingcian didn't say a word, just pulled Erya and walked out, kicking the basket into the corner as he walked.
Then, Lao Li's family was divided into two parts and held two conferences.
One part was the meeting of Lao Li Tou against the curse of heaven, and on the other side was the debate between Wang and Li Cunfu on whether Li Mingcian had madness.
Regardless of Old Man Li's side, Li Mingchan's side really made her very confused.
Wang: "Sanya, you said that the Dragon King did manifest himself, right?"
Erya: "I can testify!"
Li Cunfu: "Sanya, why do you have to say that our family has suffered a curse?"
Li Mingchan: "Do you believe what I said I said?"
……
After the chaos, Wang and Li Cunfu came to a conclusion: Sanya felt that he had been wronged, so he became a demon.
On the contrary, Old Man Li came to the conclusion that he was too harsh on the second family, so he was warned by God.
After the two conclusions were drawn, it was good for Li Mingciao, because these two parts of people treated her better than before.
Xiao Zhang and Li Xiuzi were very angry about this result.
"Can their family's wretched strength be blessed by God?" Li Xiuzi grinded his teeth, "I'm sorry!"
Xiao Zhang showed his yellow teeth: "It's so cheap, I can't blind them to death!"
Li Xiuzi smoothed his chest: "Resolutely can't let that slut of the Wang family be proud!"
"Hey, Da Lang is old enough to marry a daughter-in-law, right?" Xiao Zhang said coldly.
Li Xiuzi was stunned for a moment, then stroked his palm and smiled: "What are you really asking for! What do you say about the girl of Zhang Tuhu's family?"
"That dominatrix, of course, is a perfect match for our Dalang!" Xiao Zhang laughed.
"Let's take the time to make peace with Butcher Zhang. ”
The two of them laughed lewdly and maliciously.
Lao Li's family has three east and west wings and four hall houses, and the east wing room let Li Mingcian blow up one and a half rooms, and the hall house blew up half of the room, so Li Cuncai and his wife lived in the bedroom where their eldest son was in the hall house, and the fat girl lived in the remaining wing.
"Thanks to Wenhou, I'm still studying in the town. Zhang sighed, "We have to clean up the house before Wen Hou goes home." ”
Old man Li was smoking: "Everyone is busy farming this spring, and no one should be able to spare their hands to help the whole house." ”
Li Cuncai didn't want to leave him with no place to live, so he hurriedly came up with an idea: "Then why don't you let the second family squeeze in and give us a place to live." ”
Old man Li knocked on the cigarette pouch, and said without raising his head: "Don't even think about it." ”
Zhang's family actually still didn't like the second family, and snorted coldly when he heard this: "They also made this thing, so just let them build it as a family, and they won't be able to do much in the field anyway." ”
Old man Li thought for a while: "Let's take the time to build it at night, we can't throw it all to the second family, after all, the boss is a kiln bricklayer, and the boss doesn't work, and we have to say that we treat the second family harshly." ”
"But it's not, we have to be kind to the second family, and if we have a good reputation, we can marry a daughter-in-law to the eldest man. Xiao Zhang smiled and accosted.
"What kind of daughter-in-law do you marry?" Zhang rolled his eyes, "I can't even eat." ”
Old man Li coughed violently when he heard this, and then looked at Zhang with warning: "Do you think someone in the family has a good face to beat a bachelor?"
Zhang saw that Old Man Li was angry, and he was so frightened that he stopped talking.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang's hurriedly said and said: "Dad, my mother didn't mean that, I didn't mean to let Da Lang beat a bachelor." I really have a good family here. ”
"What kind of family matter?" Li Cuncai thought after hearing this, "We are also seventeen years old, if we really have a good family matter, we should follow Wen Hou first." ”
"Wen Hou is going to take the imperial examination, how can he marry a wife so early. Xiao Zhang's white glanced at Li Cuncai, "That is the cuicui of Zhang Butcher's family in Xiaowan Village, Zhang Butcher can say that the bride price is only two taels of bud rice and two taels of silver, but the dowry is three taels of silver." ”
"Two taels of silver?" Zhang was unhappy, "How can you do so much? Besides, after getting married, this dowry is also the bottom of Cuicui's box!"
"Mother, that's not the case. Xiao Zhang comforted Zhang, "Zhang Butcher also said that as long as Da Lang marries Cuicui, he will give us four taels of silver." ”
"What do you mean?" asked Lao Li.
"Let's let Da Lang marry Cuicui, and Zhang Butcher will give it to us...... No, I will give you four taels of silver, which is not counted in the dowry. ”
Li Cuncai thought of Cuicui's notoriety: "That's a dominatrix, I'm afraid that if I marry my family, my family won't be stable." ”
Xiao Zhang hooked the corners of his mouth proudly: "What are you afraid of, when Da Lang is an adult, we will be divided." Now I think the second brother and younger siblings can't live for a long time, and there are also the two mouths of the second and third ......"
Xiao Zhang's point stopped, and no longer signaled that Li Mingciao's family couldn't do any work, but talked about Li Wenhou: "What about our Wenhou, we have to take the Xiucai exam this year, and when he is admitted to Xiucai, we will definitely take care of the second brother's family." ”
"But Da Lang is a good worker. Zhang said regretfully.
"What's this? He can work alone to withstand the family's meal?" Xiao Zhang said hatefully, "This can also divide the crazy girl of Sanya, and save her from tossing all day long!"
Old man Li pondered for a moment: "Then when Cuicui passes through the door, we will split up." ”
Old man Li finalized Li Jingming's marriage, but Li Mingcian was worried that his stomach was growling with hunger.
"Well, when will I be able to fry fish again?" Li Mingcian muttered, "I'm really hungry." ”
Erya lay next to her and fell asleep in a daze, and woke up when she heard "fish".
"Fish?" Erya whispered. Then Li Mingcian heard her stomach start to growl as well.
The dragon king's apparition subsided, but she still couldn't go fishing, because there was a shed there, which was written: Dragon King Temple.
There are many little girls and daughters-in-law near the Dragon King Temple, who are looking for wild vegetables and fishing.
"Second sister, let's go deep into the mountains tomorrow, maybe there is something delicious. Li Mingcian thought of the rabbit and pheasant, and swallowed his saliva greedily.
"Don't go, it's scary inside. I heard that there were wolves and wild boars in it. ”
"And the beasts?"
"Hmm. The hunters did not dare to go deep into the mountains. ”
Li Mingcian sighed regretfully: "I can't eat porridge and cakes every day." ”
The next day, during the day, Li Mingcian and Erya picked up firewood and dug wild vegetables as usual, and Li Cunfu and some women in his family repaired the house at home.
The house is small in size, and the walls are made of stone and mud, so it is built quickly.
At night, a house frame was erected, and then Li Cuncai was allowed to hang the ceiling after it was done.
Two days later, Li Mingcian could already sit in the frame of the house with Erya and watch the stars.
The Zhang family was restrained by Old Man Li, and they were no longer so cold to Li Mingchan's family, but the food allocated to them was still so little, but the work was not less at all.
The spring ploughing soon ended, and the Zhang family began to mention Li Jingming's family affairs.
"Da Lang, I showed you the family business, I think I am very worthy of you. Zhang said with a smile to Li Jingming.
"Mother, what kind of girl is it?" Wang got out of bed and started to work, and when he heard Zhang talk about Li Jingming's family affairs, he hurriedly asked.
"Isn't it, it's the daughter of a butcher's family in my mother's family, who looks very neat, that is, the dowry is more, two taels of silver and two loads of bud rice. ”
"The daughter of the mother's butcher's family?" Wang looked confused, "That's ...... Zhang Cuicui?"
Zhang slapped his thigh with some weakness: "It's not, it's Cuicui!"
Li Jingming's face changed when he heard Zhang say this: "Grandma, am I your own grandson?"
"Yes, if not, I can find you such a good daughter-in-law?" Zhang said loudly, "Cuicui is so good, the family has money and can do it without saying that people can do it, and the housekeeper is a good hand, but the person is more powerful, but your family has to have such a person to run the family!"
Saying this, the Zhang family strangely felt that Zhang Cuicui was indeed a good match for Zhang Dalang.
"Da Lang, you are a man, and it is nothing if your mother-in-law is powerful. Zhang comforted Li Jingming, "There are still a lot of dowries in Cuicui." ”
Li Jingming was very angry when he heard this: "Zhang Cuicui is older than me, right? Why can't she get married if she is so good?!"
"Isn't this a rumor spread by everyone? Can you blame others?" Zhang became angry, "You have to succeed in this family business, and you have to succeed if you can't succeed!"
Wang was so anxious that tears were about to flow out of his eyes: "Mother, this can't work, how can you match the butcher's daughter to Da Lang?"
"What's the matter?, Cuicui is not worthy of your Li Dalang?" Zhang snorted coldly, "I don't look at what kind of goods you and the second child are, what kind of girl is willing to marry and endure hardships?"
The Zhang family was too lazy to entangle anymore, so he simply left, leaving Li Jingming as irritable as thunder and the Wang family wiping tears and crying.
It was almost noon, Li Mingcian and Erya were carrying wild vegetables and the other was walked home by Chai He, and then they were stopped on the road.
"Are you the younger sister of Li Jingming in Dawan Village?" asked a woman with shaved shoulders and willow waist.
"yes. Li Mingcian asked curiously, "Are you?"
"I am Zhang Cuicui from Xiaowan Village, and I am your future sister-in-law. The woman said.
"What?" Li Mingcian and Erya were surprised.
Where did this sister-in-law come from?
