"What's that!"

Mrs. Dong pouted: " At the beginning, it was fresh for a few days, and the family thought she was not good, her mother-in-law talked all day long, saying that her son had the ability, and she didn't spend a penny to bring back a daughter-in-law, and said that the daughter-in-law was cheap, and she didn't want anything to follow the man, it must be a cheap thing, and her sister-in-law also said to others that her sister-in-law must have something wrong, or it was a little unclear, otherwise, why not have a bride price, who raised such a big girl and didn't want anything to be called married, there must be something unspeakable, and she couldn't marry like this, and said that her family was equivalent to picking up rags, her brother is deceived or something, the eldest granddaughter of my family, not to mention how aggrieved she is. ”

"How can this be?"

Yu Fang's eyes widened when she heard this, and she couldn't believe that there were such people in the world.

"Why not. Mrs. Dong turned her head to look at Yu Fang: " Nier, what are you getting married, you are playing at home, we women are not considered individuals when they get married, in the past, we have to serve my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, as well as my in-laws, and I have to manage the family's food and drink, and I can't be idle all year round, let's just say that when I was in the production team a few years ago, men and women worked in the field the same way, and the strength was the same, but when I finished the work, when I returned home, the woman still had to cook, and I had to clean up the housework, and I had to take care of the children, and I had to make clothes and shoes for the children. ”

Yu Fang lowered her head, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

Mrs. Dong sighed again: "Our family is pretty good, and your grandmother and I are not the kind of evil mother-in-law, even then, your mother and their early life will be easy?

Yu Fang was silent.

Mrs. Dong is a shrewd person, Shen Linxian brought Yu Fang over to listen to her, she knew what Shen Linxian had in mind, if she could persuade her, she still had to persuade her.

"Nier, no one knows what kind of person their man is, whether he will change his mind in the future, naturally, when he gets married first, he will have more protection, in ancient times, he wanted a bride price, and his mother's family gave a dowry, just to make his daughter's life in her mother-in-law's house a little better. ”

Yu Fang also felt some truth when she heard Mrs. Dong's words, she wanted to hear more about these old people, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Say it, I'll listen to it." ”

Mrs. Dong smiled: "Originally, I didn't know why, but this life is about to come to an end, I just want to understand this truth, of course, this is also my own foolishness, right, you just listen to it." ”

Yu Fang said with a smile: "You have a lot of things to do, and if you say the truth you understand, our juniors will be able to benefit a lot." ”

Mrs. Dong nodded with satisfaction, she likes these juniors of the Yu family very much, no matter what, she knows the etiquette:" I often gossip with your grandmother, your grandmother once said a word, the more you pay, the more reluctant, I just think about it, this is a bride price, that is, the man is reluctant to divorce his wife, in ancient times, it is different from us now, divorce after not being in one place, in ancient times, the daughter-in-law did something wrong, the man can divorce you, sometimes what reason is not for, just give you a letter of divorce, you think, if the man does not give anything to bring his daughter-in-law home, you must not know how to cherish, when you want to divorce when you will leave, but if you give the bride price, he must not feel sorry for those bride price when he divorces his wife, you know, in ancient times, the dowry was returned to the woman, that is, divorced, the dowry can also be taken away. ”

Yu Fang was shocked when she heard this, and many things became clear.

"And. Mrs. Dong continued: " As the old saying goes, the hirer is a wife and a concubine, Nier, don't think this is an old antique, it makes sense wherever you put it, the one who gives the dowry is the wife, and the dowry shows that the man respects you, looks up to you, and treats marriage as an important thing in life, this is the respect for the woman and the heroine's family, this is the marriage of a wife, and if you don't give you anything, you will follow others, that is a concubine, people will look at you as cheap, think that you are not self-respecting enough, that is, take 10,000 steps back, now is a new society, it stands to reason that there should not be this talk, but, that's it, a man doesn't give a penny, it also means that he is not respectful enough, and it means that he has the psychology of taking advantage of a small advantage, this kind of person, too shrewd, not a good object. ”

"Alas!" Mrs. Dong sighed: "My eldest granddaughter regrets not being at the beginning now, and she cried to me before, saying that she regretted not listening to me, and now she is talking to people, she wants to divorce, but she is pregnant again, and she can't bear to be a child, but if she wants to live like this, when will it be the end." ”

"That is, where can young people understand us old people now? Shen Linxian also sighed: "I have broken my heart for my children and grandchildren all my life, and when I get old, I will be blamed by others, as soon as we talk, people will say that they are old antiques, but the things that have been handed down by the older generation for many years have no sense of truth, but they are not all feudal dross." ”

Yu Fang's face turned red all of a sudden.

Shen Linxian saw that Mrs. Dong was a little sleepy, so he pulled Yu Fang to get up, and smiled at Mrs. Dong: "Old sister, you rest first, let your kid catch the medicine for you and boil it to drink, if it's not good, you call Xiaofang again and ask her to help you adjust the prescription again, if you see it well, also tell her and change some medicine." ”

"Good. Mrs. Dong smiled and nodded.

Shen Linxian pulled Yu Fang out of the house.

When he got home, Shen Linxian sat down on the sofa and asked Yu Fang, "What do you think?"

Yu Fang was silent for a long time before saying: "I, when I go back, I will talk to Xie Changqing and ask him to prepare a bride price, if he doesn't agree, I will ask him about the words of milk, and ask him if he wants to learn from foreign countries." ”

"Okay. Shen Linxian smiled: "You discuss with him first to see what he means." ”

At this time, Liu Zhi came in, and when he saw Yu Fang change his mind, he smiled: "You stupid girl, let us break our hearts, you don't want to think about what Xie Changqing said about the hard life at home and not giving a bride price, his family's conditions are almost allow, but he has been working for a few years, can he not have a little savings, even if he doesn't let his family get the bride price, but what about him? He has no money on hand, and our family doesn't ask for much, but he has to have it." ”

Yu Fang's mind is now full of the sentence that the hired person is a wife and a concubine.

It's all the truths that Mrs. Dong said, and she thought in her mind that Mrs. Dong said that she didn't give a dowry, which showed that the man didn't respect you enough at all, and he meant to despise you, Yu Fang was shocked for a while.

She carefully recalled the process of her acquaintance with Xie Changqing, as well as Xie Changqing's usual performance, many things that she didn't understand before were now clear.
