Chapter 9: Finding a Family Affair
Xu Jinniang handed over the bracelet of the Yao family, and the whole person was sullen, and her frowning brows were not calm, and while walking, she also said with a chant, "I thought that the Tong family would still recognize you as a granddaughter, but I didn't expect them to be so ruthless, and a good marriage was ruined like this." ”
"Mother, if you want to open up, I don't believe that the Yao family doesn't know anything about the change of the Tong family. The Tong family must have been angry with the Yao family, so they dared to blatantly ask us for things, what good can such a family do if they marry in the past. Tong Chuxue persuaded.
"You're right," Xu Jinniang sighed, "The Tong family has done a great job, and the Yao family is not necessarily good, we have just split up, and they are in a hurry to change people, and the head of the family is looking at the wrong person!" You say you're going to ...... Alas......"
Tong Chuxue knew that the ideas that her mother had cultivated for many years in this society were not so easy to change, so she took Xu Jinniang to the fields in the village to wander around, discussing which field to buy to divert her attention.
Croppers have the deepest feelings for the land, and sure enough, when it comes to buying land, Xu Jinniang's mood is finally brighter.
The two looked at the ground for most of the afternoon, and only returned home in the evening.
At the door of the house, Lin Chunyan was already waiting here.
Xu Jinniang was startled when she saw Lin Chunyan, and walked forward quickly, a little guilty, "Why don't you go into the house and wait, what are you doing standing at the door." ”
Tong Chuxue guessed that Lin Chunyan came for her business.
Sure enough, what happened at the Tong family at noon, although it was not reported on the surface, but the woman in the village had already gone crazy in private, saying that the Tong family robbed Tong Chuxue's family of Tong Chuxue's family affairs to another granddaughter, which was really shameless.
When Lin Chunyan heard the news at home, she hurried to the old mansion and met Xu Jinniang and Tong Chuxue coming back from the field.
Although she was holding Xu Jinniang's hand, her eyes always drifted to Tong Chuxue's side unconsciously, and she stopped talking a few times.
Tong Chuxue saw it and smiled freely, "If your aunt has anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Lin Chunyan was stunned for a moment when she saw this, organized her language for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Don't be sad about the Yao family's affairs, auntie, I will also help you look at each other, there are many good people, and they are not the only Yao family." ”
This is said sincerely, it is completely for Tong Chuxue's consideration, Aunt Luo is indeed a kind person.
However, Tong Chuxue has too many facts to do now, and she doesn't have the energy to deal with any marriage.
Lin Chunyan comforted Tong Chuxue a few more words, and Tong Chuxue slipped away from the house under the pretext of washing wild vegetables, avoiding the equally worried eyes of the two.
Tong Chuxue was on the mountain today, in addition to picking some wild vegetables, he also found a lot of poisonous weeds and came back, ready to plant around the house.
The Luo family's old mansion is only lived by her and Xu Jinniang, and it is easy to become the target of some people with intentions, so she has to be careful out of self-preservation.
But in order to avoid harming the innocent, Tong Chuxue did not choose those poisonous plants, but specially selected some less toxic plants.
Poisonous weeds are often not easy to transplant, but fortunately, Tong Chuxue has a wood-based ability, which can rejuvenate the originally dying poisonous weeds.
The reason why the old house is called the old house is not only because of its age, but also because the walls are tattered and ventilated on all sides. For example, although Xu Jinniang and Lin Chunyan are talking inside the house, their voices can also be heard outside the house.
Tong Chuxue held a small shovel and listened to the conversation inside while transplanting poisonous weeds.
There is no one who doesn't worry about marriage, and the two people in the house just finished talking about her marriage and talked about Luo Hui'an's marriage.
Listening to Lin Chunyan's meaning, Luo Hui'an's body needs to take medicine all year round, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but now that she is old, she wants to find a family business for her, maybe she can rush to Chongxi and make his body better.
She took a fancy to a girl in the Tong family, named Tong Shuangling.
Tong Chuxue always felt familiar when she heard this name.
I heard Xu Jinniang in the room exclaim slightly, "Isn't that the granddaughter of the second uncle's family?" ”
The second uncle Xu Jinniang said is the elder brother of the old man Tong, and she is also related to this Tong Shuangling, although she doesn't even know what the parents are.
Tong Chuxue listened and speculated with bad taste, as far as Luo Hui'an's body was, he didn't know if he could survive the wedding night.
She warned herself that it was not good to casually speculate on other people's private affairs, so stop thinking about it.
Once a woman catches the topic she wants to talk about, she can talk about it all day, but unfortunately Lin Chunyan still has to go back to Luo's house to cook, so she can't stay for a long time, so she will leave soon.
But if she doesn't leave, Tong Chuxue and the others will also feel embarrassed, and they can't get anything to eat at home now, only a little wild vegetables dug up in the morning.
Tong Chuxue's cooking skills are average, but even if she is good at cooking, there is really no use, there is nothing at home except water, and the two of them have eaten two bites of hot wild vegetables.
It's not a way to go on like this, Tong Chuxue discussed with Xu Jinniang, and hurried to Lizheng to buy land tomorrow.
Thinking of her life after buying land, Chu Xue lay on the bed, excited, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, repeatedly thinking about what to plant in order to exchange for more silver.
Tong Chuxue, who was also tossing and turning in bed, was alone, and Luo Hui'an also had no intention of sleeping.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, Lin Chunyan told her that she was planning the marriage for him, saying that she had taken a fancy to Tong Shuangling.
Luo Hui'an has no impression of this person, but her mother praises people as flowers. He knew that he was not in good health, and since he was a child, he made his mother worry a lot. But he had never thought about getting married, and now when he heard it, it was really a little difficult to accept.
He thought that no matter who he was with, his body would be a drag, and he didn't want to waste the youth of other girls, he thought, just accompany his father and mother like this, it would be good to give them a pension and send them to the end, and then train his younger brothers and sisters, he can be regarded as doing something for the family.
can listen to his mother's meaning, she has already decided sixty percent of the marriage, and told him that it depends on whether he likes it or not, if he doesn't want to, Lin Chunyan will go to find another family.
In the room without a glimmer of light, Luo Hui'an opened his eyes.
Tong Shuangling, like her, is also surnamed Tong.
Following.
Xu Jinniang was the first to wake up at home, and she slept very deeply yesterday when her mood fluctuated. When she woke up, she habitually touched her purse under the straw, and her eyes widened.
She shook Tong Chuxue beside her, "Chuxue, my mother asked you, did you take the purse under the straw mat?" ”
Tong Chuxue was drowsy, her eyes were closed, and she dragged a half-hoarse voice, "No, I don't even know where you put your purse." ”
At this time, Xu Jinniang was completely panicked, and she didn't care about tidying up her hair, so she rolled down from the bed and moved away the straw from her sleep little by little.
When all the straw was emptied, Xu Jinniang still found nothing.
Tong Chuxue, who was gradually sobering up, also noticed Xu Jinniang's abnormality, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
On the empty bed, there was only one blue purse, Xu Jinniang poured out all the money in the purse, and under the sound of jingling bells, only a few small copper plates fell down, Xu Jinniang couldn't help but sobbed quietly, "The family's money was stolen!" The money is gone! ”
