Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Gossip Factor of Women

The same thing has been repeated for the past few days, and Li Miaomiao does not feel bored, but feels extremely calm and comfortable.

On this day, Aunt Zhang didn't come over for something, Li Miaomiao and Li Xiaofang sat on the kang to work, Yanyan, Xiaowei, Erya, and Erdan were catching stones under the big tree in the yard to play. The children in the countryside are not particular about it, and a few children can play for a day while sitting on the ground.

Li Miaomiao was chatting casually with Li Xiaofang in the room, and somehow, Xiaofang suddenly stopped and glanced at Li Miaomiao.

"Look at what I'm doing, you can say whatever you want, and you're not an outsider," Li Miaomiao asked.

Li Xiaofang also felt that there was nothing bad to say, so she didn't hesitate, "Miao Miao, do you know, Xia Xiucai went to your uncle's house today to get hired, and the dowry is a lot, and when I came, I saw a lot of people going to join in the fun."

"Oh, what's the matter with me", Li Miaomiao said indifferently.

"Miao Miao, you really don't care, you used to like Xia Xiucai very much", the whole village knows about this.

Li Miaomiao had a headache when she thought of this, she really didn't know what kind of vision she had in her original body, she fell in love with this hypocritical guy, and she went to see people in three days, for this reason, the people in the village laughed at him a lot, otherwise he would not have jumped into the river and committed suicide in shame after being withdrawn from the marriage.

Faced with this fact, Li Miaomiao had no choice but to smile helplessly and said, "Those are all young and ignorant in the past, and their parents are engaged to be close to each other, so I want to get closer to my future husband, I can't talk about whether I like it or not." Besides, this marriage is all gone, it's all in the past, what do I still mind. ”

Hearing that Li Miaomiao didn't mind, Xiao Fang was relieved, she regretted what she said just now, isn't this picking up scars.

"It's good that you don't care. People in the village say that Xia Xiu is a good one, but I don't think so. You said that as soon as your father and mother died, he came to withdraw from the marriage, completely forgetting your father's life-saving grace. forget

Something that is unjust is not worthy of you. ”

Hearing this, Li Miaomiao felt that she had found a fellow practitioner, so she began to complain together, "Who said it wasn't, I was blind before, and since I died once, I have thought about a lot of things." Sister Xiaofang, don't you think that Xia Xiucai is particularly hypocritical, he is a knower when he sees people all day long, and he doesn't care if others understand it or not, he thinks that if he says a few words that seem to be high-end, he will be superior to others. But I don't want to think about it, it's not necessarily how many shows in our town can't come out."

"yes, although I don't go out a lot and I haven't seen him a few times, I just don't think this person is a good person. Let me tell you, my mother also sighed, how good it would be if I married him, but forget it, no one can stand his mother."

Sure enough, no matter what era, women are gossiping, although it is not good to talk about others behind their backs, but what they say is also the truth, so they don't care too much, and the two talk hotly.

"And your cousin, who was like an eldest lady all day long, once passed by me, and her head was lifted to the sky. She's only a year older than you, and her face is greased and powdered, and she doesn't look like an honest person", after chatting about Xia Xiucai, the two changed their protagonists and started chatting.

Li Miaomiao wanted to complain that she hadn't been a day or two, and it was usually not good to say these bad things in front of children, but today I finally found an outlet.

"She's a white lotus"

"White Lotus", Li Xiaofang said she didn't understand.

Li Miaomiao naturally wanted to explain, and when Li Xiaofang heard it, she felt that this explanation was very appropriate.

"I've suffered a lot at her hands before. When she was in the old house, she didn't do any work, and when she did something wrong, she went to the elders to complain, and then the fault naturally fell on the three of us sisters and brothers, because of this, we were beaten a lot", thinking of this, Li Miaomiao, as a third party, was also angry in her heart.

The two said a few more words, only to see Li Xiaofang suddenly approaching her with red cheeks, Li Miaomiao jumped and naturally retreated.

"Why are you, Miss, suddenly getting so close?"

"Do you know that from your house to my house, you have to pass through a bamboo forest"

"I know, in the spring, I also went to dig spring bamboo shoots", Li Miaomiao was a little puzzled, what happened to the bamboo forest.

"Well, when I was passing through the bamboo forest a few days ago, I saw something," he said, his face flushed a little.

Bamboo forest, grove or something, the most good place to date and steal the sunshine, wouldn't Li Xiaofang see any fragrant and exciting scenes, thinking of these, Li Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little hot.

"What do you see?"

"I saw, I saw Xia Xiucai, and your cousin, hugging together, hugging each other and kissing each other", Li Xiaofang intermittently and finally finished a sentence.

God, these two are too unsophisticated. In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, he actually kissed in the bamboo forest, oh, just kissing, which is normal in modern times, but now it is ancient ah, the ancient times of traditional feudalism, even if it is an engaged man and woman, he can't meet at will, not to mention the intimate thing of kissing Xiaozui, and it was discovered that Li Cuntao's reputation was completely bad.

"My sister didn't tell anyone else, did I?"

"No, my mother didn't say anything, I don't think it's a good thing."

"That's good, my sister will forget about this in the future, this matter has spread, my cousin's reputation is completely ruined, although I hate her, but we are both women, we understand the importance of reputation to women, let's not care about them"

As he spoke, he smiled at Li Xiaofang again, "How old do you say this Li Cun peach is, how can he put his mouth?"

Li Xiaofang's face was hot again when she said it, and she pounced on her and hit her, "You girl, you dare to say anything."

The two fought for a while before stopping.

Looking at Li Xiaofang's delicate little face, Li Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh, this girl is still lively, compared to Li Xiaofang when she first came, Li Miaomiao feels that she is more likable now.

It's good for a girl to be knowledgeable, but if it's too much, she always loses a bit of aura.

"My sister is sixteen this year."

"Yes, sixteen", speaking of age, the tone became a little melancholy.

Of course Li Miaomiao knew what it was for, "Is it that my aunt is worried about your marriage again?"

Nodding, Li Xiaofang said, "Every day my mother has to whisper a few words in my ear, and she says that she has a bad reputation that has affected me." I don't know how to persuade her anymore."

"Then what do you think in your own heart", Li Miaomiao asked.

"My mother wants me to find someone who is honest and willing to work, and the family background doesn't have to be too good, otherwise I will be bullied in the future, and my mother's family will have no one to support me."

In ancient times, the mother's family was also part of the factors of unhappy marriage, and the status of a hard-hearted mother's family in the mother-in-law's family would be much higher.

"I asked my sister what she thought and what she wanted to find."

"What can I think, since ancient times, it has been the order of my parents, and I listen to my mother's words from the matchmaker", she has no idea about marriage.

Feudal thinking kills people. Li Miaomiao felt that this shouldn't be the case, so she persuaded, "It's not wrong to listen to your aunt, after all, she has more experience than us, and she naturally knows more than us." But sister, it's you who will live your life in the future, and whether you live well or not, only you can bear it. You are the daughter-in-law of the aunt, and I believe that the aunt wants you well. So, why don't you try to tell your aunt some of your thoughts, and she will understand."

"Is it okay," Li Xiaofang asked.

"Of course you can, anyway, you want to get married, wouldn't it be better to marry someone you are satisfied with"

"What kind of sister does that sister like?"

I saw Li Xiaofang's face flush and twist her head to the side, but she still opened her mouth to answer Li Miaomiao's question.

"I don't usually go out, I haven't seen anyone, I don't know anything else, I just think my dad is good like that. Although my father is not very capable, she is very good to my mother, me and my sister. I didn't love us because my sister and I were daughters, and I didn't look down on my mother because I couldn't give birth to a son", speaking of her father, Li Xiaofang's face was full of admiration.

Li Guang is indeed a good father and husband, such a person is indeed suitable for entrusting for life, but how can such a person be easy to find.

Li Xiaofang is already sixteen years old, which is indeed not young at this age in ancient times, and there are several girls in the village who are only thirteen years old like her.

When you don't go to town, ask Aunt Xie to see if there is a suitable one.

After deciding this matter, I was even more confident to persuade Li Xiaofang, "Don't worry, sister, you will definitely be able to marry someone as good as Uncle Li in the future."

Li Xiaofang only smiled when she heard this, what does a little girl like her know.
