Chapter 123: There Are Ghosts
Bride price?
Shen Xiaoyan frowned, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head and said, "My mother didn't say how much bride price money I wanted, I heard my mother say that it was because the second sister-in-law in the future took a fancy to our second brother's good looks, so she didn't want a bride price." ”
Shen Mofei chuckled when he heard this, these days, the common people generally prefer sons over daughters, and daughters are a money-loser in the eyes of most parents, just like Shen Lao Wu at the beginning, even if he knows that the family that the eldest daughter married is not a good thing, isn't it still to marry a wife for the eldest son, and then marry the daughter?
It's not just the bride price.
She believes that there are many parents who are unwilling to sell their daughters in this era, but this situation will definitely not appear on Wang Zhaodi's mother's side.
The small village where Wang Zhaodi lived before she got married was an extremely patriarchal place, where she either threw away or drowned after giving birth to a girl, and those who survived, just like Wang Zhaodi, were kept to marry someone in the future to earn a bride price for the family, and the three views were surprisingly distorted, not to mention the men over there, even the women over there were very despised girls.
It's really hard to figure out what these people's brain circuits think.
Since I look down on myself as a woman, why just explode on the spot, why are I still alive?
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Shen Mofei's eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, "Okay, I'll go back with you to see what our old lady is up to, and how she wants to trick our second brother this time." ”
Anyway, Shen Aiwen was pretty good to himself before, and for the sake of him once giving his own sweet potatoes to himself, he couldn't let him be fooled by Wang Zhaodi.
Shen Xiaoyan didn't think about it so much at all, not to mention how happy she was when she knew that the second sister was going home with her, chattering along the way, looking at Shen Mofei with obvious admiration in a pair of round eyes.
Seeing that she was going to Shen Lao Wu's house, Qi Jinhui of course didn't want to be left behind, he silently glanced at the little girl who was chattering non-stop, and resisted the urge to strangle the little light bulb.
With a limping fake lame, Shen Mofei received a lot of sympathetic glances on the way back to his parents' home.
Of course, the two parties present would not care about this, ignored those obscure sights, and went directly to Shen Laowu's house.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has stepped into Shen Laowu's family after marrying Qi Jinhui.
When they entered the door, the house was very lively, because Shen Aiwen was going to get married, but it alarmed many relatives of the Shen family, even Grandma Shen was neatly dressed, combed a woman's bun, and sat on the main seat with a wooden hairpin, frowning and listening to what Wang Zhaodi said.
"What's wrong with Xiaoxia? The appearance is not bad, the butt is also big, at a glance, I know that I can give birth to a son in the future, people don't need to give a bride price when they marry into our family, not to mention, I also brought a sewing machine over, you say, where to find such a good daughter-in-law? Wang Zhaodi crossed her hands on her hips and yelled directly at those in the family who questioned her future daughter-in-law: "If it weren't for the fact that my eldest nephew had already married, a good girl like Xiaoxia wouldn't look down on us in such a poor place!" ”
"Hmph, why are you willing to marry if you don't look down? And she is so anxious to get married tomorrow, it's no wonder that this Li Xiaoxia has no problem! The fifth family, you are also Aiwen's own mother, why did you agree to this without discussing it with him? Old Mrs. Shen had a dark face, and she was really speechless for the daughter-in-law of Wang Zhaodi, a pit son.
Originally, she didn't care much about her sons' family affairs, she was old, and she finally brought up so many children, and she no longer had the energy to care about her grandchildren's affairs, no matter whether they were living well or badly, as long as she didn't do anything that insulted the Shen family, she didn't bother to take care of it.
A group of debt collectors she looked at and was scared, how could there be a girl who was distressed?
But even if Shen Aiwen is a debt collector, it is also the seed of their old Shen family, if she, a grandmother, does not stop this kind of marriage that is problematic at first glance, this child will not be cheated by his mother for a lifetime in the future!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen looked down on Wang Zhaodi, a stupid woman, more and more, a room of fools still treated others as fools, and the Shen family was really shallow!
"No matter what, this family affair must not be concluded tomorrow, let people inquire about the situation of the woman named Li Xiaoxia first, our family Aiwen is not unable to marry a mother-in-law, this kind of inexplicable woman sent to the door can't be wanted." Old Lady Shen spoke with a gloomy face.
Wang Zhaodi was unhappy, "I have already promised them, if Aiwen does not marry Xiaoxia tomorrow, how can I have the face to go back to my parents' house to meet people in the future?" ”
"Enough! If you're ashamed, you shouldn't agree to such a bad thing! Wang Zhaodi, I can remind you, you are now a woman of the Shen family, don't focus on the people on your mother's side, I said that this kiss can't be married, it can't be married! ”
The always gentle old lady looked quite scary when she was really angry, and the Shen family in the room didn't dare to refute it.
But Wang Zhaodi sat on the ground with her buttocks, and cried with a wow, "Why is my life so bitter!" I don't have the right to marry a daughter-in-law for my son, how can there be a mother like me in this world! ”
"Smack!"
Shen Laowu, who had been silent beside him, saw that this mother-in-law began to play tricks again, his face sank, and he strode over and slapped Wang Zhaodi in the face.
"If my mother says you can't tie the knot, you can't tie the knot, you make a fart!" Shen Lao Wu scolded.
Wang Zhaodi really cried after being slapped by this slap, but she really didn't dare to play it anymore.
After marrying into the Shen family for so many years, can she still not understand that the words of these old men of the Shen family to this dead old woman are carried out as a holy decree? The family's wreckage is all listening to an old woman, it's just a bunch of waste!
She began to regret why she married into the Shen family in the first place?!
"Mo Fei is back, come, come to grandma." Old Lady Shen looked at Shen Mofei and Qi Jinhui standing at the door watching the excitement, and her face, which was still cloudy just now, immediately had a little more smile.
Shen Mofei has always thought that this old lady is very interesting, looking at her behavior and behavior, she is obviously well-educated, although she is in the middle of the city, she still can't hide her gentle bearing, this time I can actually see her angry, but I didn't come back in vain.
Walking to the old lady's side, Shen Mofei glanced at Wang Zhaodi in front of everyone, but this woman stared at her in horror, and suddenly ran out like crazy, shouting nonsense as she ran: "This is not my daughter!" It's not my daughter! Ghosts! There are ghosts! ”
