Chapter 3 Tricks are frequent
Luo Erya was still cutting pigweed on the hillside, and Hao Matchmaker, who was wearing red and green, shook Xiang Luopa, twisted her waist, and came to the door happily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Ouch, congratulations, Sister Luo. ā
Luo's mother frowned, the Li family only came to propose marriage yesterday, who is it today?
"Sister Hao, where does the joy come from?"
"Purple gas comes from the east, of course, from the east. The Li family lives in the east of the village, and Li Xianren was admitted to Xiucai again, which is in response to this sentence.
"Dongmian?" Could it be Luo Changgui's family? The youngest son of Luo Changgui's family is in charge of the Fulai Inn, and his monthly salary is not old or young. And he is the same age as Erya, and he is still in good health, so he is in good health at first glance. There are hundreds of women in a family. Thinking about it, Luo Mu's three-point smile turned into seven points.
"Sister Hao, thanks to your blessings, please come in. ā
"Come, take a sip of tea and moisten your throat. ā
"Sister Luo, you are so polite. ā
"It should be, it should be. I'm tired of Hao Meizi for a trip, it's hard. ā
"Sister Luo, I'm quick to talk. The Li family is one of the best scholars in our family, not to mention the wealth of the family, and the children and grandchildren are all promising. Especially the Li family is the most promising, and he is also dignified. His family went to your house the day before yesterday to see it, but he didn't like your second girl. No, it drove me to be a matchmaker. ā
"Li family?" Luo's mother was disappointed, thinking it was Luo Changgui's family.
"Yes, I'll tell you, Li family......"
Mrs. Hao talked for a long time, and the corners of Luo's mother's mouth became bigger and bigger, and she was so satisfied with the Li family. Let's just say that I can't listen to that dead girl's nonsense, what a good family the Li family is, marrying not only enjoys not only happiness, but also benefits my own family.
"Okay! Sister Hao helped me bring a word, and said that we should go down this family business. ā
"No! I don't agree!" Luo Erya, who hurried back, didn't care whether his reputation would be damaged. With a throw of the basket on his back, he strode into the door of the house, gurgling a large glass of water into his stomach. Luo Mu was so angry that she couldn't beat and scold because outsiders were present, so she could only look like a loving mother: "Look at you, what do you look like with a lot of sweat, why don't you go and freshen up." So saying, Tyre Erya went out.
"I don't!" Luo Erya climbed the door frame: "I said I won't marry Li Xianren!"
"Oh, the little girl is thin-skinned and shy, how can she say that she will not marry. If you don't marry now, you won't be annoyed by what you said today if you marry someone in the future. "Mrs. Hao has opened her eyes today.
The girl of the Luo family is thin and weak, I didn't expect it to be so spicy. is also good-looking, otherwise the Li family can like her? Pouting, in order to get the thank you money promised by the Li family, it is still a basket of good words.
When Luo Mu heard her say this, she was afraid that the fat in her mouth would fly, so she was busy twisting Luo Erya fiercely. While smiling with Hao Matchmaker. dragged Luo Erya away.
Luo Erya also wanted to have a good fight with Luo's mother, so she half-dragged and half-walked back to the room with Luo's mother.
"Mother, there are many good sons in the village, why do you want me to marry Li Xianren?"
"The Li family is rich, you can help the family a lot if you marry. ā
"Help the family, mother, daydream. ā
"What are you talking about?"
"Mother, you see that the eldest sister-in-law's family is rich, but when did they help us? ā
"That's different, your eldest sister's family is having a hard time, and our family doesn't have anything to help them out. ā
"Well, yes. We have something to do on our own. Then don't let me promise me to the Li family. ā
"No, it doesn't. The Li family is different from your eldest sister-in-law's family, and you have a lot of benefits from marrying his family. ā
Luo Erya was irritable, "Mother, if you want me to marry the Li family, you can answer me a few questions first." ā
Luo Mu glanced at her disdainfully, "You say." ā
"How is the house where the Li family lives?"
"The big brick house, the first one in the village, is good. ā
"How many people are in his family, how many brothers, how many people are in one room?"
"I don't know. There are more than a dozen tiled houses in his house, but there are many adults in the family, ......" Luo's mother counted with her fingers, but she couldn't count it, so she was annoyed: "You don't care about how many people he has a room, and I can't lose you left and right." ā
"How many acres of land does his family have?"
Luo Mu, who just wanted to answer, opened her mouth and paused again. The Li family used to have a solid family background, and they bought a lot of land and property, but when it came to Grandpa Li's generation, they lost a lot because of poor management. In Li's father's generation, there are very few left. Some time ago, because Li Xianren was going to end the game, he sold a few acres of land. How much land is left in his house now, Luo's mother doesn't know.
His family has only three acres of land left! Three acres of land for a large family of more than a dozen people is not enough to eat! Moreover, his family of literati is pedantic, does not produce, and despises merchants, so the situation in his family is really difficult, far from what others have seen.
"His family has no house or land, and he doesn't run a business, what benefits can my family bring you in the past? It is better to leave me at home to help with the work, and you and your father will save a lot of money all year round. ā
Luo's mother was entangled: "The eldest man of the Li family is a talented man, and he will be an official family in the future." There's a lot of room to help your brothers. ā
Luo Erya saw that Luo's mother was still holding on to this stubble, and became impatient: "It's very difficult to take the exam, and no one in the whole town has been admitted! Moreover, what did he do as a plate? You also said that the conditions of the Li family are good, what kind of girl can't be pleased, so you have to pick me up? It's not that you embroider well, and you can earn a lot of money just a year just by embroidering. I have learned your true inheritance, and the weaving speed is superb, and his family is afraid that he will count on our family to be a cow and a horse for him!"
"What nonsense! The Li family is a scholarly family and has a strict family style, but you can't be such a scoundrel, you don't have to be nonsense, beware of outsiders hearing it. ā
"I won't marry him anyway! I'm still young, and it's not too late to marry in a few years. The eldest brother and the younger brother are exceptionally smart, and in a few years, I will be able to be admitted to Xiucai, and then I will be Xiucai's sister, and my worth will double. When the time comes, what good relatives will not be found? ā
"Phew, dead girl, you're just talking nonsense. "That being said, Luo Mu was happy in the end. Talking about his son's interest is more effective than saying anything. Luo Erya is not a fool, a few years later, Luo Yaojie's kid can really be admitted to Xiucai, or is he a student.
"Mother, is it okay if I don't marry him?" It's rare to be a scoundrel, and Luo's mother is also quite useful, but she still hasn't let go. According to Luo's mother, what her daughter said was a shadowless matter, and the Li family was really cheap.
"Mother, I will definitely find a good one in the future, better than the Li family. When the time comes, I will buy new clothes and shoes for my mother, father and younger brothers every season. He also renovated the house for his younger brothers to study and take the imperial examination. Okay, mother. ā
The voice gave me goosebumps, but Luo's mother was smiling when she heard it. It turns out that my mother is so good, and it took two lifetimes for Luo Erya to find out for the first time.
"Okay, it's up to you. You're a dead girl. If you don't marry well at that time, don't rely on me. ā
"How can you, mother, you are the best mother in the world, and your daughter will not rely on you. ā
Luo Mu looked at Luo Erya, who was full of eyebrows, and found for the first time that this girl was so good-looking. It's a pity that when I thought of my mother-in-law who died early, my smiling face suddenly fell.
"You dead girl is a piece of trick for the old lady? The old lady almost fell for you! This family business is decided, don't let out another moth, otherwise the old lady will pick your skin!"
Seeing Luo's mother change her face in an instant, her eyes were resentful and grinning, as if the person in front of her was not her daughter, but an enemy who did not share the sky!
Luo Erya was stunned, and the burning fighting spirit in his chest disappeared in an instant. shouldn't have been extravagant, my father and mother have never hurt themselves. Holding Luo's mother's hand and slowly putting it down.
The world is difficult, and it is even more difficult for women. At home from the father, when going out from the husband, and from the husband to the son. The childless can only cling to the uncle in the clan. Those who want to be strong and self-reliant are also bullied by the world and live miserably.
The sun was shining outside, but she was cold all over, was she doomed to not be able to escape? Decadent thoughts that had never existed before attacked her, overwhelmed her, made her panic and helpless, wanted to escape, but there was no way to escape.
In the hall, Luo's mother and Hao Matchmaker were holding hands and discussing the bride price and other things. The Li family is also in full swing preparing for the marriage. However, among the girls in the village, there was a slow flow of rumors that Luo Erya would not marry Li Xianren, and then the women in the village also heard about it, and finally even the old man heard about it.
Under the big banyan tree at the head of the village, the old wives of the east and the west are even more talking. It turns out that the girl of the Luo family doesn't look down on the Li family.
Grandma Li listened to a group of old women and daughters-in-law mocking her grandchildren, and she was so angry that she argued with others, but she had to go home and discuss countermeasures with her family.
"The eldest daughter-in-law, can Ren'er and the second girl of the Luo family negotiate their relationship?"
"Naturally, it's been negotiated, why did my mother come here to ask?"
"Hey, it's not the long-tongued women in the village, who say that the girls of the Luo family don't look down on our family and refuse to marry our family!"
"The mother is angry, they just have their wishes disappointed and they are jealous. When it came time for our family to welcome the bride, they naturally wouldn't say more. ā
"I'm not angry, why do you say that the girl of the Luo family doesn't look down on our Ren'er? Our Ren'er has to be talented, good-looking, and what kind of girl you want to marry can't be found. She Luo family can still see the second girl except for that face, her body is shriveled and not easy to give birth, so she didn't have to delay me to hold my great-grandson. ā
Mother Li easily coaxed Grandma Li to rest, but she held a grudge against Luo Erya. Her son is very good, only her son is critical of others, and there is no reason for others to dislike his son. took out the purse brought by Luo's mother and Hao Matchmaker from her sleeve pocket, and her eyes flashed. Summoned the third uncle, coaxed him with sugar, and asked him to take the purse to play in the village.
It was only a little while, and the rhetoric in the village reversed again. It turned out that the second girl of the Luo family had secretly admired Li Xiucai for many years, and used the gift of purses as a basis. Everyone was in an uproar, and they said that it didn't make sense, a yellow-haired girl couldn't even look down on the talented master.
Luo Caiyue cried and accused Luo Erya: "You have already received it privately, why did you lie to me?"
"Believe it or not, I have never given away a purse, and I don't like Li Xianren. ā
"I've seen it all, and you still don't admit it! I don't believe you anymore. ā
Luo Erya raised her footsteps and said, "Mother, why do you slander your daughter's innocence?"
Luo's mother squinted: "You childhood sweethearts, grow up and get married to each other, others will only say that this is a good story of a talented woman, where is it to ruin your reputation?"
"Mother, I vow not to marry Li Xianren. If my mother insists that I get married, then carry my corpse. ā
"You dead girl, how dare you threaten me? You have grown up and your wings are stiff? See if the old lady doesn't kill you!" Luo Mu picked up the flat pole and slapped it on Luo Erya. Luo Erya didn't dodge as usual, one by one, how much pain in his body, how much pain in his heart.
The big wedding is imminent, and Luo's mother doesn't dare to break Luo Erya. knocked more than a dozen sticks, scolded and pushed her into the weaving room, and there were still a few days before she went out, and she could weave a few pieces of cloth for the family and earn a few pennies. The bride price given by the Li family was so meager that she felt that she had suffered a loss.
