Chapter 84: Is It Love (2)
Old man Chu and the elder of the Yu family understood completely when they heard this, where was Dong Rong coming to see the excitement, she was here to save people. But they understand that it's one thing, and they can't refute it. Because what people say makes sense, every sentence is poked at everyone's death holes, and if you don't want to be convinced, you can't do it.
The elder of the Yu family, who had the highest prestige, was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Since you think you are a smart person, let's talk about how to deal with this matter today, so you can't pick up a bargain." ”
Dong Rong scolded secretly in her heart, she was really an old fox who wanted to save face, but she also knew the truth of accepting it when she saw it, so she bowed her head and saluted and said, "Elders, although today's incident is a disaster between Shengzi and Silian, but Shengzi has been beaten half to death, and Silian is also scared, they can be regarded as a lesson." The elders can dissipate their anger for the sake of the rest of the good girls, and it is definitely not a matter of light on the face to spread this matter, so the best way is not to let it go. ”
"Don't pass it on? Are you saying that you will marry Silian to your in-law's family as usual..."Before the Chu family's words were finished, Silian, who was lying in the arms of the old lady, suddenly struggled and pounced on Yu Guisheng's body, crying loudly, "I won't marry, I want to be with my son." I'm going to marry and have children..."
Chu Laosan was smashed by the stupid pillar just now, and he wanted to fight back but was stopped by the elders. Yu Guisheng's two eyes were swollen into steamed buns, and he struggled to break open to see a little light, and when he saw that his beloved woman was going to be beaten, he didn't know where the strength came from, so he turned over and blocked Silian under him. Chu Laosan saw that this anger was even greater, and even the kicks and kicks were black and poisonous.
Silian cried and begged loudly, Yu Guisheng was in pain, and the room was lively again for a while. Dong Rong frowned and shouted loudly, "Stop!" Do you want to solve the problem anymore? If you don't want to say it, who has the kung fu to delay here? ”
The elders of the Yu family hurriedly stopped Chu Laosan, and the Chu family also jumped out of two and pulled him aside, Dong Rong was also a little impatient, and said directly, "Silian is so desperate to marry and have children, you just send her to the merchant's mother-in-law's house and keep it and run back." At that time, I am afraid that the faces of the two families will be thrown into the city, according to me, it is better to retire this family, and say to the outside world that Silian has a sudden illness, and then go to a distant relative's house to hide for a month or two, and after coming back, the birth of a son and the family will marry Silian back. ”
"You touch your upper and lower lips to say lightly, the man gave twenty taels of dowry, and the family has bought a dowry for Silian, how can this family matter be refunded? Shall any of you give this money? ”
After listening to Dong Rong's words, Old Man Chu was the first to jump out and object, and everyone glared at him with disdain, as if they were mirrors in their hearts. What is the dowry huā fee, but if you can't keep it, you will throw it in which casino, and there is still a face shouting to ask everyone to advance money for him, which is obviously relying on the fact that there is no girl in the family to be married.
The peasant family lives frugally, not to mention that this year's year is not good, that is, the family has saved some savings in previous years, and they will not take it out lightly until the moment of life and death, let alone spend money on such a bad thing. Therefore, although everyone hated Chu Lao'er for being shameless, they had no idea.
At this time, Dong Rong smiled and said, "The elders are confused, since Silian is going to marry and have a son, the Yu family will naturally have to give a bride price, no more, no less, how about twenty taels?" ”
"Hey, this..." Everyone was shocked when they heard it, if the Yu family paid twenty taels of dowry, it would be just enough to compensate the previous relatives, and the rest of the trivial matters such as how to seal their mouths would be easy to do. After all, both villages have sons and daughters, and no one dares to take the risk of spreading this matter.
"Yes, that's it. The Yu family gave twenty taels of dowry money to the Silian family, and Silian's father will go tomorrow to retire his relatives, and marry Silian again in a month. "Usually, when people marry a daughter-in-law, it is considered rich to have a bride price of five or six taels, but the Yu family takes out twenty taels, which is simply a sky-high price. The Chu family was afraid that the Yu family would regret it, so they hurriedly opened their mouths to settle the matter, and the rest of the people also nodded in agreement.
The elder of the Yu family has no opinion, "Okay, neither of our two families can leak a word about this matter today, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”
Old man Chu's pair of dim old eyes were dripping, obviously he didn't expect that the Yu family could afford a twenty-two tael dowry, and he regretted for a while that he shouldn't let the clansmen be in charge.
Mrs. Yu has lived a long time, and she has a clear guess about the careful thinking of this future in-law. She got up and bowed to Dong Rong and thanked her, and kept chanting, "Thank you to the owner for paying the dowry, our family is poor and has no silver, today I received the great favor of the owner, and in the future, I will let the young couple go to work for the owner, if it is not over in one year, it will be ten years, and if it is not over in ten years, it will be a hundred years, and it will not be in vain to be a cow and a horse, and the kindness of the owner will not be wasted..."
Dong Rong glanced at the old man Chu who was full of disappointment, and said with a wry smile: "Auntie, you just don't let your son go to work in the orchard." The money is for the handymen, and I have no money to hire them today. ”
"Xie Dongjia, I will definitely do more work to repay the kindness of the owner." Yu Guisheng was also loosened at this time, and came over with Silian to kneel down and thank you.
Dong Rong originally had some praise for this filial son, but after today's incident, she didn't want to see him. As a man, even if he likes a woman again, he should think of some dignified ways to marry someone back. How can you do such a reckless thing as elopement?
If it was placed in the previous life, such a practice could still have a romantic name of "for love", but in such a place where feudal etiquette is extremely strict, it is simply looking for death, and it is still pulling his blind old lady to find death together! Whether he is really filial or fake filial is difficult to say. Is it true that the old saying is true, if you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother?
"You don't have to thank me" Dong Rong dodged half a step to the side, and said lightly, "I feel sorry for my aunt's age, and my eyes are not good, and I ran barefoot for forty miles in the middle of the night just to save an unfilial son." If you have a good one, the eldest lady will definitely not survive, so she rushed over. ”
Yu Guisheng was so ashamed that he was going to die, and his already bruised face became even darker. He looked up at the old lady with white hair, and then he suddenly realized how wrong he was: "Mother, it's all sons who are not filial, and sons don't dare anymore." The son only thinks that he can't live without Silian, and the son didn't mean it..."
Mrs. Yu remembered the rush and anxiety of this night, tears also fell, and she stretched out her hand to slap her son twice but couldn't bear it, and finally hugged her son and cried loudly. Chu Silian Xu also felt ashamed, and lay on the ground and kowtowed to the old lady vigorously.
Dong Rong saw that the two of them were still a little remorseful, and finally relieved her anger. She stretched out her hand and took out four silver bills of five taels in her purse, turned to everyone and asked, "This dowry is given to Silian's family today, and the elders should make a verification, don't go wrong at that time, the two families will not look good on their faces." ”
Old man Chu saw that Bai Huāhuā's silver was shining seductively under the oil lamp, where did he care so much, he stepped forward and grabbed it in his hand and shouted, "What's wrong, my family took this silver, and let Silian go out in a month." ”
Several elders of the Yu family pursed their lips with disdain, and responded, "Everyone is watching this, and no one dares to be a scoundrel." ”
The other members of the Chu family also felt ashamed, and echoed, "That's it, just take care of your own family." So saying, they got up and walked away.
Silian still wanted to say something to Yu Guisheng, but unfortunately Chu Laosan had already stepped forward and pulled her neck and left. Mrs. Chu felt sorry for her daughter, and it was difficult to scold her son, "San'er, you take it lightly, she is your sister!" ”
Chu Laosan's impatient voice came from afar: "I don't have this embarrassing girl!" ”
The elders of the Yu family looked at each other and got up, and one of them sighed and said, "Old sister-in-law, your yard is a little narrower, I'm afraid you won't be able to live if you marry your daughter-in-law, right?" ”
Mrs. Yu was stunned, and her face turned white with a brush. The clan elders don't want their family to live in the village anymore, and they can hide it from outsiders when they give birth to a child, but they can't hide it from the clansmen, and when the time comes, instead of being poked in the backbone every day, it's really better to move to a place where no one knows and start living again. But it is difficult to leave the homeland, especially for the elderly, to leave the place where they will live for a lifetime is simply like digging out their hearts.
The old lady's tears crackled and fell, but when she looked at her son with a blue nose and swollen face, she still choked up and responded, "What the old brother said is that when the time comes, my son and I will go elsewhere to find a big yard to live in." ”
Yu Guisheng also understood what the clan elder meant at this time, he turned around and wanted to kowtow to beg the clan elder not to drive their mother and son out of the village, but was stopped by the old lady.
The clan elders shook their heads one after another, sighed and went out of the house. Yu Guisheng finally knew the consequences of his trouble, he slammed his head on the ground, and cried, "Mother, I'm sorry for you, let you be kicked out of the village when you are old..."
Mei Hu'er Niang, who had been hiding at the door, dared to step forward and persuade "Don't cry when you give birth, you have skills, and you will definitely not be hungry for your mother in the future." It's that you must make your daughter-in-law be filial, this is really ruined in order to marry her back. ”
Mrs. Yu was young and widowed, living alone with her son, and I don't know how many difficulties she has encountered. After being sad at this time, he regained his spirit and persuaded his son: "Son, what your aunt said is reasonable." We can't starve to death wherever we go, as long as you fight for energy, don't be so reckless in the future. ”
Yu Guisheng nodded heavily, Dong Rong looked at it on the sidelines and felt sour, thinking that a good person would do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west. simply said, "Auntie, the two of you will come to me to work in the spring next year, so why don't you move to the orchard to live." It happened that the three adobe houses on the side of the road had been built, and I had planned to raise some chickens, but I had been busy and didn't care about it. If you don't dislike it, pick it up and move in. ”
"Is this done?" Mrs. Yu's eyes were full of surprise, but after thinking about it, she hesitated and said, "We live in a house, so what should we do about raising chickens in the spring next year?" ”
(I just heard from a friend that another post-90s writer died suddenly and tired, and my heart is so sour.) The writer industry is really a high-risk industry, and my son is still pulling his hair in my arms, so I have to arrange my time reasonably for him and try to rest my mind. Today's two watches, no code, thank you for your support, I'll go to the yard for a walk. Hug! )
