Chapter 020: Consent
"And Zhao Di, you don't need me to say that you also know what Xiao Cui'er's reputation is outside now, right? Now that she marries into the Qi family, there is still a chance to remedy her reputation, but if this thing doesn't work out, your family Xiaocui will ...... in the future."
The matchmaker wanted to speak and stopped, but everyone also knew what she meant.
A few days ago, Shen Xiaocui, in order to escape the shameless old lame man Qi Jinhui arranged for her by Wang Zhaodi, had already spread in Lihuagou.
Qi Jinhui's own conditions are good, and the girls in these ten miles and eight towns are staring at him! Shen Xiaocui's reputation is not very good, it is a well-known bad temper, and ordinary mothers don't dare to marry such a grumpy daughter-in-law to go home, for fear that they won't be able to suppress it in the future.
So when he was eighteen years old, an old lame man asked someone to come to the door to propose marriage, and the gift money he gave was only so little.
Wang Zhaodi was moved when she heard that there were five yuan, not to mention that the old Qi family was willing to give one hundred and eighty-eight catties of grain! In order to marry a crippled daughter-in-law, this old Qi family really made a lot of money.
In those years, every family lacked food, and those three years of hunger really scared people. If it weren't for the fact that every production team still had stored grain as a backing, this Ewha Commune would definitely not have starved to death without a single person as it is now.
The farmers who have never been out of Lihuagou in their lives don't know what kind of predicament the situation outside has reached, and Shen Lao Wu, who has a way out in private, doesn't know what the situation is now?
That is, Lihuagou is too remote, and it is a two-hour mountain road from the town, otherwise you will definitely be able to deeply experience the desperate situation outside.
Natural and man-made disasters, without food, human life is very cheap, and in many places, it is good to be able to survive two-thirds of the people!
The people in the city are okay, there is a supply of commercial grain, although they can't eat, they can barely survive, but the people in the countryside are different, when Shen Lao Wu went to the grain station with the captain to pay the public grain last year, he saw the captain of another production team come with a few people, and he fainted directly from hunger before he reached the grain station.
After waking people up, I realized that six of the more than 20 households in the production team had survived, and the rest were either starved to death or died of eating soil, which made people's scalps tingle when they heard it.
Even the matchmaker himself was muttering in his heart that this old Qi family was kind to Qi Jinhui, even if it was five yuan, anyway, he couldn't buy a few catties of food back when he bought food on the black market, but if he saved some food for one hundred and eighty-eight catties, it was enough for a family of three to eat for more than half a year!
On this condition, you can marry a good woman casually when you go outside, of course, the premise is that the girl's parents are ruthless enough to watch their daughter marry a waste person and suffer for a lifetime.
"What's wrong with a bad reputation? It's not that our Xiaocui can't get married, you hurry up, what kind of heart do you have! Shen Aiwen's black face was shocking, and he was very angry at his parents' silent and heartwarming faces.
Usually their brothers and sisters like to grab food, but it is also forced by the situation, if they don't work hard to grab rations, they will starve, but when it really comes to the fate of a lifetime, they are not so cold-blooded, and they can watch their blood relatives jump into the fire pit.
Not to mention that Qi Jinhui is not a good thing, just take the old Qi family as an example, each one is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Their little Cui'er has a bad mouth and a strong temperament, but her heart is still soft, otherwise she wouldn't have given them potatoes to eat yesterday, if she marries into the Lao Qi family, she can still have a good life?
"What do children know!" The matchmaker rolled his eyes at this lengtouqing, and his tone was a little bad, "Shen Lao Wu's family, don't blame me for not reminding you, Jinhui is injured now, and he can still work after recovering from his injury, so much food can't be taken out casually to marry a daughter-in-law, your family still has two school-age boys to get married, you don't want Xiaocui to marry in the past, there are people outside who are willing to marry." If the Qi family doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law who doesn't know the roots, it won't be your turn to be your little Cui'er! ”
She said this politely at all, but the Shen family knew that this was indeed the case.
With so much food as a bride price, as long as the wind is released a little, some people who are about to starve to death are willing to marry their daughters to the fire pit of the Qi family, but who makes Dong Yu and Mrs. Qi worry that those girls who are forced to marry in will not be able to keep a cripple or be bad for Qi Jinhui?
It's good that the old Qi family has enjoyed a lot of good treatment for so many years because of the People's Liberation Army in the family, if the daughter-in-law who entered the door abused him, wouldn't it make people gossip?
In such a comparison, Shen Xiaocui, who chooses to 'like' Qi Jinhui, is undoubtedly the most suitable person.
Although his temper is poor, he is a diligent worker, plus people like their family Jinhui, and there will definitely be no abuse when they enter the door in the future, plus they know the roots, they also know that Shen Xiaocui is not bad to the root, and they can rest assured that they can let her enter the door to take care of Qi Jinhui.
"Little Cui'er, what do you think?"
Shen Lao Wu was really moved, and when he got the bride price of the Qi family, he could marry his two sons at the same time, which was a very cost-effective deal.
It's just that he didn't want to be poked in the back and said that he was selling his daughter, so he still asked Shen Mofei's own opinion in front of everyone.
Shen Mofei touched his chin, thinking about it himself while they were talking about it.
She wanted to move out and set up her own business, but it was absolutely not allowed in the background of this era, and Shen Lao Wu and his family wanted to marry her out for money as soon as possible, rather than marrying into a family that didn't know the details to find trouble, it was better to go to Lao Qi's house!
At least in the memory left by Shen Xiaocui, although there are a few strange things about this old Qi family, they are not all superb, and she is not afraid of those Qi family members when it really makes trouble.
And it's a good thing that the future husband is a cripple, just like no man, and it doesn't prevent him from doing things!
Her current strength is a weak chicken, and it must be her own who really suffers from Shen Lao Wu's actions, so she will find a place to settle down for the time being, and it will not be too late to leave in the future.
The more she pondered, the more Shen Mofei felt that this family business was good, so she nodded under the stupid gaze of the twin brother, "I think it's good, so let's do it." ”
The matchmaker didn't expect her to agree so neatly, it seems that she really likes other people's Jinhui instead of the skin on other people's bodies, as the rumors said.
As a relative, of course, she also hopes that Qi Jinhui can find a wife who is good to him, otherwise this child will be too pitiful.
Wang Zhaodi was also overjoyed, one hundred and eighty-eight pounds of grain plus five yuan! I can finally marry my two sons!
