Chapter 3: Forced Marriage
When Su Mi went back, Su, her titular mother, was taking a nap. My brother and sister-in-law didn't know where to go, so when they saw the cold pot and the cold stove, they put the edges and corners and the tofu given by Zhao Laosan on the cutting board.
Rao ate some water chestnuts in the afternoon, and his stomach is still hungry. Walking to the side room and seeing her mother sleeping sweetly, although Su's mother was not as good as her father at the moment, after all, she had been protecting her in the past sixteen years.
Thinking of this, he paced to the stove and cut a small half of the tofu given by Zhao Laosan. The white tofu stands out on the cutting board, which is probably the best dish I have eaten since my father died.
Su Mi cut the tofu into small pieces, and looking at the tofu, he couldn't help but think of Zhao Laosan again. The dark eyes are bottomless, and a pair of powerful hands are warm and strong......
Unconsciously, a small melon seed face turned red, and immediately stretched out his hand. into the cold water, and took out the ice on his cheeks, blazing. The heat has subsided a bit.
Su Mi poured some oil into the pot and put the starry chili peppers, and then put the raw tofu into the pot piece by piece. Suddenly, a thick bean fragrance wafted out: "It's so fragrant!" ”
Rao is sensible when she is young, just a meal, and she will be ready in a while. brought it to the table, and it happened that Su Mu also woke up: "Mother, are you hungry?" Let's eat! ”
Su Mu looked at the fragrant tofu and water chestnut boiled on the dinner table, and couldn't help crying: "Mi'er, it's my mother who can't stand you." When your father went, he told you to protect you, but ...... But ...... mother."
"Mother, I gave my sister-in-law all the lunch at noon, and you didn't eat much, hurry up and eat!" Although Su Mi's heart hurts like a blunt knife cutting flesh, she was originally picked up by the Su family, and it is a blessing to be able to survive until now, where do you dare to complain too much.
The two were eating, and Su Mi only felt the fragrance of tofu between his mouths.
Before Su Huaibing and sister-in-law Gu Shi came back, seeing that his brother's face was red, he guessed that he went to someone's house in the village to drink, for fear of beating her again, and immediately stood up: "Brother and sister-in-law are hungry, I'll go to hot rice!" ”
Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law changed her old face and sat down happily: "Where did this tofu come from?" ”
"It was given by Zhao Laosan from the next village!"
"Our Su family girl is handsome, look at this soft palm and impeccable figure, if it is sold to the old man in the capital. Bustards are allowed to sell for a good price. It's a pity that this life is in troubled times, and I escaped to such a broken place. "Although sister-in-law Gu Shi is cunning, she has never let go of Su Mi's hand, Gu has never been so close to her sister-in-law. Heated.
"Don't worry, it's finally the road to the sky! My sister-in-law and brother went out in the afternoon and found a good family for you, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the future. Su Huaibing also sat down, with a flattering smile between his eyebrows.
"What? My brother and sister-in-law went to find my mother-in-law's house? But...... But I'm only sixteen! Although Su Mi came to the monthly letter a few days ago, she never thought about getting married.
"Sixteen is already an old girl, and I will marry your brother at fifteen. If it weren't for the fact that your father had been blocking you from mentioning your marriage before, you would have found a family to marry when you were in the capital. Sister-in-law Gu finished speaking, and took Su Mi's right hand again: "Sister, this family is a big family in Sujia Town, you have to agree to this family business, otherwise your brother and sister-in-law's life will be gone." ”
"Big family?" Su Mi, a big family in Sujia Town, knows a family, and his ancestors are all important members of the court, and in this generation, the old man's children and daughters have all died, leaving only himself and the money that he can eat and wear in the next few years: "Which family are my brothers and sisters-in-law talking about?" There is only one big family in Sujia Town, which is the Xue family at the mouth of the town, but Master Xue has no children under his knees? ”
"The girl is really smart, it's the Xue family! Although Master Xue has no heirs, Master Xue himself is very lonely, and he asks the matchmaker to ask him for a wife all day long. ”
"Sister-in-law wants me to marry Master Xue?" Su Mi was startled, and pulled out a pair of white hands from her sister-in-law's hands, and her little face was flushed with anxiety.
"What's wrong with the master of the Xue family, he will definitely be ahead of you in the future, and he has no heirs, and this family fortune will be yours every day. If I hadn't married your brother, I would have recommended myself to be his wife!" Sister-in-law Gu Shi saw Su Mi's reluctance, stood up and said with a dignified attitude.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I don't want to get married, I can also work for the family every day, I can do farming and laundry!" When Su Mi went out to the river to wash clothes, he often heard those women talk about this Master Xue, who regarded wealth as his life and had many quirks. If she really married, it is not certain who will die first.
"If you really feel sorry for your brother and sister-in-law, you can marry it, we don't have to take care of the crops in this field, just the dowry is enough for us to eat and drink for a lifetime!" Su Binghuai put his hands into his sleeves and squatted at the door.
"Brother, I can endure any hardship, and I will do any work at home in the future!" Although Su Mi had never seen that Master Xue, she knew that person was a demon who ate people and didn't spit out bones.
"You have to marry if you marry, you have to marry if you don't marry, anyway, the dowry will be sent by Master Xue tomorrow!" Su Huaibing stood up and was about to raise his palm, but was stopped by his wife Gu: "I can't help it, this thin skin is tender. The meat is broken, and we will have to farm and wash again in the future. ”
Su Mi trembled with anger, looked at the remaining tofu on the table with a pair of watery eyes, and cried when she remembered Zhao Laosan's care for her during the day.
Su Mi didn't close her eyes all night, and made a piece of cloth from Zhao Laosan during the day into a dress in the thatched house. She is ruthless, if she really wants to marry this Master Xue, she is willing to go to the Xue family tomorrow and die head-on.
