I only heard Zheng Linchu say again, "It stands to reason that in the case of an extreme shortage of silver at home, your sister's relatives are okay to say, you shouldn't let you get married, after all, you can earn a lot of silver for the family every month by staying at home, and the salary you get back is worth the income of a large family." But they are really anxious about your marriage, after all, although the life at home is tight, but at least you can get by, but every time you go out, you are pointed at, saying that there is an old girl in your family who can't get married, and it is not good to listen to others ridiculing you 'when will you marry the girl' or something like that, and it is not easy to finally meet a person who comes to the door to propose marriage, and they must not be as anxious to marry you as if they met a life-saving straw? They are afraid that they will miss this opportunity and that they will be poked in the backbone all the time. ”

That's right, that's it, that's why they were in such a hurry, and they didn't hesitate to go to Xue's house to make a big fuss and withdraw the note.

"You see, even if they know that if you stay in the hunting team all the time, the family will be able to earn a few taels of silver every month, and when the bride price of the two younger brothers is there, they can also support your brother's family, and even when the money is saved enough, they can repair the old house better, so that other girls' families will not be reluctant to marry the girl because they mind that your family is too dilapidated, and even wait for another two or three years, and they can build a bigger new house, and the daughter-in-law can live in a new house as soon as she marries in, and the Bai family must not become a fragrant bait, so that those who have girls beg to marry?"

Yes, but it's useless!

Zheng Linchu immediately said what was in her heart, "But no matter how beautiful these imaginations are, they still can't compete with the pressure of reality, and they finally choose to rather not have these, but also seize the opportunity to marry you." Because it's happening that they're being ridiculed by the villagers, and as long as you don't get married for a day, they're going to be ridiculed and can't hold their heads up. But because of the benefits you bring at home, they haven't really experienced it yet. One is something that may happen in the future, and one is something that is happening now and has been bothering them for a long time. You said that they finally had an opportunity, can they not choose to solve the current problem first? It's a normal choice for them. ”

Don't be too right, that's probably what her family thinks, but she is still unwilling, especially Zheng Linchuti's conditions are so tempting!

Noticing that the light in Bai Rongrong's eyes gradually dimmed with his words, Zheng Linchu naturally wanted to rekindle hope.

"But what if at this time, someone else directly gives them a large sum of money? Suddenly with so much money in hand, the eldest family is guaranteed, and they have to think that the new house will be ready in less than a month or two, and they don't need to leave a sum of money just in case. The family will soon be able to live a good life, and with a new house, other families will not be happy to marry the girl in, and they will not have to rush to marry their two sons. The youngest daughter doesn't have to be in such a hurry to get married in exchange for the bride price, they can pick and choose, choose a better one, or more bride price, and the family's difficulties will be solved. Do you think sixty taels of silver is enough to solve the above problems? ”

Her family is not very large, just build a house of four or five rooms, it doesn't need to be good, sixty taels of silver is far enough, and it can support her brother's family.

At this time, Zheng Linchu asked her, "You said that at this time, is it important that this is already placed in front of their eyes, and the dozens of taels of silver that are available at their fingertips are important, or is their face important?" Moreover, they couldn't refute it when they were ridiculed by the villagers, because there was indeed an old girl in their family who was not married. But now? Although you are still not married, they also have a reason to refute, 'Although we also want our daughter to marry earlier, we can't be the master, it is the owner who can be the master', and now the family is living a better life than others, which can also make them straighten their backs and be people. ”

To put it this way, it seems...

It seems to work.

Seeing that the light in her eyes gradually lit up again, Zheng Linchu asked again, "Sister Rongrong, is there anyone in the village who allows the girl to sell herself to be a maid in the mansion of a rich family?" ”

Bai Rongrong thought for a while, "Yes, there is one in the east of our village, one year younger than me." ”

"Is she married?"

"I don't think so."

"Does anyone laugh at their girls for not getting married?"

"No, but some people laugh at their girls for being maids in other people's homes, and being inferior to others, which is embarrassing."

"There are many people who laugh at your family, or there are many people who laugh at her."

"It seems to be my family, and although some people laugh at them, there are also many people who envy others in private. Their girl looks more brilliant, sold four taels of silver, it is said that she did a good job in that house, was taken by a female lady inside, became a big girl, has a tael of silver per month, since the year before last, she sent five hundred dollars to the family every month, so that many people envy it. ”

Zheng Linchu spread his hands out, "Isn't this over, people only sell four taels of silver, the Xue family gives you dozens of taels of silver, even if people send money to the family every month, it is only six taels a year, and now the silver money in your hands is worth ten years, in other words, it is the silver that people have to wait for ten years to get, and your family can get it immediately, and people can't tell when something will happen, this silver may be broken, and your family doesn't have to worry about it at all." People are willing to sell their daughters, why do you think your father and mother will not sign this deed of sale? ”

It seems to be too, with her father's and mother's calculations about silver, maybe she's really happy.

Seeing that she had been shaken, Zheng Linchu took advantage of the victory to pursue, "And you didn't serve people as a maid, you are a serious worker, and it is the same as others going to work in the town, but people are short-term workers, and you are long-term workers." And not only does you not need to serve people, the Xue family also specially invited a cook, who keeps fish and meat every day, and serves you in different ways, and even boils the bath water, which is much better than others being maids in rich people, right? At that time, your father and mother will still boast outside, 'Our girl now has nothing to do in the hunting team except for hunting, and the meat is constantly eaten every day, and the Xue family invited a good cook to cook for her, and she also went to school, what kind of medicinal bath is worth every day...', does it give them special face? ”

Speaking of which, during the Chinese New Year last year, her father and mother boasted so much everywhere, and their faces were quite proud.

"You see, the reputation of letting you sell yourself to work for the Xue family is better than that of selling it to a rich person as a maid, and the reputation of selling your daughter as a maid is better than the reputation of having a girl in the family who can't get married. After all, if you sign a deed of sale, you can't be considered a family, and the bad reputation that can't marry can't fall on them, is there one less layer of concern? ”
