Panic (2) (276)
And these two women are willing to give birth to Tao Zhenkun, but no one has any signs of pregnancy, or now no one knows if they will be pregnant, because Tao Zhenkun has just left!
Wu He said: "Speaking of this woman's blessing, it is probably none other than the old lady of the Su family." β
"Why is that?"
"Maybe you don't know, she, the eldest lady from a rich family, had an agreement when she married into the door of the Wu family, and said that 'three stations are not up', and she was sixteen years old that year."
"Oh! I haven't heard of it, which three are not up? β
Of course, it refers to the pot, the well, and the mill, and in fact, it really does this. The Wu family also used to make slaves call maids, and maids and mothers-in-law waited for them. It was only after Mrs. Wu took charge of the house that this seemingly exploitative hired slave was abolished, and their children grew up at that time. As for the cattle and sheep herders used now, they have to be treated differently, and the wages given are reasonable. β
"So, it's new."
"Who's to say it isn't!"
"I heard that Mrs. Wu decided to deal with a cloth of cattle and sheep, and he said, 'If you have money, you don't say anything, the more bad it is, the more troublesome it will be'! I guess it was his in-laws who got involved with the Japanese, and knowing out about it hit him hard. Who knows what the future will be like, this big business, if there is something to do, I'm afraid it will become tired-"
"What do you mean?"
"It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God, this has something to do with the Japanese, after all, it's not a good thing! Even this small village in the deep mountains, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the catastrophe of collecting grain and taxes, and it will be unstable at that time! β
"What if that were the day? It's scary! Still make people can't live? There are only a few people who have money and food, what will they pay for those who have no money and no food? β
Liu Xingmei smiled and said: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Take one step at a time, it's useless to be scared now, just cross the river and take off your shoes! This Manchukuo is the world of the Japanese, and we ordinary people can't twist our arms and thighs, in short, there is no benefit but only disadvantage, so that we can live in peace? Not necessarily! If you want to blame the people of the Long family, you shouldn't have brought this little devil here! β
As soon as she heard this, Wu He became uneasy, and she asked, "If that's the case, what can I do!" You have more foresight than others, can you really fight the devil as you say? That's itβ"
"I'm just talking, can this old and young woman and child fight with the little devil? That's looking for death! With just a few shotguns in the village, how can you resist the devils, let alone use aircraft artillery. If you anger the devils, then no one of the old and young will survive, and they will have to be slaughtered. If that day comes, you have to live with grievances and act on the opportunity! It's really not good, you have to pay if you have no money or food, then only the officials force the people to rebel, except for desperately fleeing here, can't you afford to provoke and hide? It's important to save your life! β
"The sky is falling, everyone is dead, what does it matter so much? Live one day at a time! It's just that now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have let Zhenkun go out to work, just this year-"
"With his stubborn donkey-like temper, no one will listen to him!"
"In this case, there are advantages to not being at home!"
"I hope we two are worried about nothing! However, these words cannot be said to the outside world, some people think that they are rumors and do not say it, it will definitely be panicked! β
Wu He nodded.
"Now that you have Mei Xiang as your companion at night, you won't be alone."
"It's just that she is too upright, she has to eat at home at night to come, and she goes back in the morning to help her mother cook."
"Among the smaller girls in the village, Mei Xiang is the most likable, good-looking and sensible."
"If Brother Chu is at home, I'm afraid it's time to be a matchmaker."
"Yes! No matter how poor her family is, but the girl is one in a hundred, and whoever marries in the future will be a good blessing. β
"Her father left in a hurry, and I don't know if I have to explain to her mother!"
"If you want to ask Shen Qiqin, you will know."
"Yes, too."
"You said we were always together when we were farming the other day, but you forgot about it."
"Mei Xiang is still young, but she is not in a hurry. Let me tell you, she is really interesting to Tao Zhenkun. β
"What did she say to you?"
"No, I can see that."
"If they can make it, they will be a good match. It's just that the two young masters of the Wu family are moved by Mei Xiang, so they don't knowββ"
"Didn't Mei Xiang say it? She didn't dare to climb high, and besides, she already had someone in her heart. If it weren't for that, I would have been able to go to the Wu family to propose to her. β
"Even if she falls in love with Zhenzong, she can't be a stuffy gourd, someone has to match her. I don't know what Zhenzong's opinion is, if both of them are interested, they won't be privately booked for life! I think you are the most suitable matchmaker, so you can run errands and bother to pinch it! β
"Butβ"
"But what? Zhenzong's father and mother can also talk to each other, if it really happens, it will save them as parents from worrying about his marriage all day long. If you don't agree, then your eyes don't know the treasure, and Ganoderma lucidum is used as basil. Mei Xiang's family is a little poor and afraid of something, and it is impossible to expect to sell her daughter for a cheap year. As soon as this big brother Chu goes out, he may be able to earn money back. β
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't be embarrassed to come forward, but - after all, Zhenzong and I have a little bit of a relationship with each other, so it's not easy to open my mouth, otherwise others will really think I'm nosy!" Liu Xingmei is a prevarication, but she is actually worried about Tao Zhenzong's love for herself. In order to get rid of his thoughts about his own wrongdoing, the best way is to get him engaged to someone else as soon as possible. If someone else finds out that a little brother-in-law has a love affair with her, who is a sister-in-law, it will be a shameful thing! Especially when Tao Zhenkun is not at home, he can't wash it if he really jumps into the Yellow River. Regarding the peachy news, sometimes once anyone gets involved, even if it is made out of nothing, it is impossible to argue.
Wu He smiled and said: "You are embarrassed to come forward in this matter, in my opinion, then it is best to reveal this wind to Zhenzong's father, if they are also willing, they will drag the matchmaker, the matchmaker is ready-made, isn't there Landi?" β
"I don't think we can worry about it, I don't know what Shen Qiqin, a mother, thinks! If there is fate in this, it is a mandarin duck that can't be beaten apart, I can't be in a hurry, wait and see! Brother Chu is not at home, maybe this mother can call the shots! β
The two talked for a while, and Wu He went back.
When Liu Xingmei was about to return to the house, she heard someone say: "His aunt, I have a few words to say to you." β
Liu Xingmei looked up and saw that Meng Wanpeng was lying on the wall and poking his head out.
"Big brother, what's the matter, let's talk about it!"
Because of the words "men stop" pasted on the door, Meng Wanpeng, a neighbor, did not dare to break the rules, so he had to take the way of lying on the wall.
Meng Wanpeng hesitated and said: "I think Mei Xiang is a good child, and your nephew Chang Fa of my family is also the eldest child, see if you can introduce them to the two of you." I didn't pay much attention to it before, but after the New Year, I suddenly found that Chang Fa had grown up, and I had to consider giving him a family affair. I've weighed this in the whole village on the imitation of the age, and I think only Meixiang is the most suitable, if it can become, I won't treat her family badly, you seeββ? β
When Liu Xingmei heard this, she couldn't help but be quite surprised, she still said, "This is it! β
Meng Wanpeng said: "Isn't Mei Xiang here to be your companion, presumably you two have nothing to say, so please help ask her." We are neighbors, and I can't go near and far from living in this wall and that courtyard. I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll give you a reply after you ask, and I'll wait to hear it. I discussed it with your sister-in-law and your aunt, and they all agreed, and Chang Fa didn't refuse. β
Liu Xingmei smiled and said, "This is a good thing, my eldest brother can trust me, and I have nothing to excuse." It's just that I'm young, and I haven't been a matchmaker - well, I'll ask! Don't rejoice if you win, don't be angry if you don't, it depends on their fate. Besides, this Chu Yunzhao is not at home, and I don't know if Shen Qiqin can call the shots. Let's get to the point of view first, and I'll give it a try. β
"Well, I can't forget it when I become a big brother, this wine and snacks-"
"I don't need it, it's nothing to do me a favor."
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome." After Meng Wanpeng finished speaking, he disappeared.
Liu Xingmei smiled and looked at the sky, it was almost dusk. So she went into the house, and hung the gourd on her waist, and put the double-barreled shotgun on her shoulder, and went out and locked the door, and untied the black tiger again.
So she walked out of the village and towards the bridge.
In the evening, Mei Xiang will come back to eat at home, her meal alone is very simple, there will be a mouthful of leftovers, and she will only add a few handfuls of firewood to the stove after coming back.
At this time, there will be many curious people who can see her heading to Queqiao alone.
When walking on the road, Liu Xingmei wanted Mei Xiang and Chang Fa to become relatives, which was also a good thing, and it was not bad to be neighbors. She thought about it and smiled, then took off the gourd and opened her mouth to take a sip of wine. Then he began to think of his fool.
Tao Zhenkun has only been gone for a few days, how could he come back so soon?
It was a little ridiculous for her to think that she was waiting like this. But she is willing to do this, she doesn't care what others will think, she is willing to be this stupid wife, just treat it as a stupid wife and wait for the man.
Who can understand her state of mind!
