Chapter 040: Marriage with the Wang Family
Seeing that more and more people are gathering, and pointing fingers at the Jiang family has increased, Mrs. Jiang's face is a little unbearable, especially Jiang Xiaotuan is not afraid of any ugliness that cannot be publicized, and the loud voice can be heard from a distance.
"Gone, gone." Old Lady Jiang urged again.
Jiang Shijiu and Jiang Shiyuan didn't want to leave, but they couldn't let them come back with the five taels of silver they spent, Dong Xiufang saw that the situation was not good, so she pulled down the sleeves of her man's clothes, "Let's go back first." ”
Everyone is leaving, and Jiang Xiaoyu has no ability, just pestering her mother to buy her a good-looking jade pendant.
"Buy your head, your brother didn't even stack the chips when he came back to get the money." Jiang Shijiu yelled irritably, this time there is really no money.
The Jiang family is not a big family, it only saved a little money by farming, and there was a wave of trouble in the separation, and another wave of money loss, and several tosses, not to mention the big house and the third room, even Mrs. Jiang was a little tight.
Jiang Xiaoyu has always been the pearl of the family, and none of the younger sisters in the family are as favored as her, she will have what she wants before, but during this time, she found that her status in the family is different from before.
"I don't care, I just want that jade pendant, why can they have the cheap girls in the second room, but I can't have it?" Jiang Xiaoyu also has her words, "Besides, you are reluctant to spend money on me, and people don't look at me well, how can there be good relatives coming to the door?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu muttered: "I'm married, don't you also enjoy happiness with my father?" ”
Zhang Fengying took a deep breath and nodded slightly, thinking that this made sense, but at the moment, there was really no money.
"Mother, are you uncomfortable? Would you like to have a look? Just when the three members of the big room were shouting and arguing, Dong Xiufang's sharp eyes found that Mrs. Jiang was a little wilted, she has always been good at pleasing Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang waved her hand, "No, the silver has been spent, where is the money, I don't have a big deal, just take a rest, just now the little jade girl talked about family affairs, I remembered something, I told your second sister-in-law a few days ago, she didn't care, and the little girl is also not angry." ”
"When Wang Xiucai hadn't passed the exam before, he set up a family affair for the children when he was drinking with Shixian, but I thought that the little girl was not worthy of the brother of the Xiucai family, so it was better to give this marriage to the little jade girl."
Zhang Fengying came to the spirit, "Mother, really? If this is the case, it is a good thing, the little jade girl looks handsome, and she takes the shot, which is better than the table on the head of the small group girl. ”
Dong Xiufang pursed her lips, who doesn't care about the son of the Xiucai family, but it's a pity that her daughter is too young, otherwise she can also fight.
"I think so, I don't know what it means to show talents, I haven't mentioned this stubble for so many years, I'm afraid I don't want to admit this family business, but our family Wencheng also wants to be a good showman, and it can be regarded as a good match, I think it's also a bit of a door."
Zhang Fengying happily pulled Jiang Xiaoyu, who was still sulking, "Don't thank you grandma, and say that your grandma doesn't care for you, such a good thing is for you to think about, she still loves you the most." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu was also happy in her heart, but she didn't want to show it, "What if people don't recognize it?" It seems that our family is in a hurry, and it is not good to hear it when it is spread out. ”
"This time, the little jade girl is right, that's why I'm worried."
"Mother, as long as you agree to give this marriage to Xiaoyu, then don't worry, the brother of the Xiucai family has to think about our Xiaoyu when he sees it, Xiaoyu is the most outstanding girl in the village."
Zhang Fengying said complacently, but Jiang Xiaoyu is the most outstanding girl in the village, and she is the only one who thinks so.
In her eyes, her daughter is perfect.
Old Mrs. Jiang nodded, "You just need to pay attention to this matter," and then she glanced at Dong Xiufang, who was not very happy, "The third family, don't think about it too much, in the future, Wencheng will be in Xiucai, and Xiaoyu will marry into Xiucai's family, your Xiaolan has such a brother and sister, and her in-laws will definitely not be wrong." ”
Dong Xiufang reluctantly showed a smile, "Of course, Xiaolan will have to rely on her brothers and sisters in the future." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu's marriage with Xiucai's family hasn't been skimmed yet, but her tail is about to rise to the sky, as if this matter has been decided.
Since winning Xiucai, although the Wang family has not moved, they have become estranged from Jiang Shixian, who has not passed the exam several times, and has not even shown his face in the past few years.
Zhang Fengying couldn't sit still since she learned about it, if it weren't for Mrs. Jiang's fear that she wouldn't be able to do something and stop her, she couldn't wait to go to Wang's house to talk about marriage the next day.
Dong Xiufang there, no matter how much she thought about it, she felt that the old lady was biased in this matter, why did she give all the good things to the big house, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't swallow this breath, so she planned to tell the Li family about it.
It's not that she wants to fight for the second room, she just wants to watch the big room and the second room have a lot of trouble.
"Second sister-in-law, there are some things I really don't know whether I should tell you or not." Dong Xiufang put on a tangled look.
Li was sewing clothes for Jiang Xiaoyue with stitches and threads, and Jiang Xiaotuan was taking Jiang Xiaoyue to pick beans on the ground, and she planned to make some tofu to eat.
"Third aunt, since you're embarrassed, don't talk about it."
Dong Xiufang didn't expect Jiang Xiaotuan to play cards so unreasonably, and after hesitating, she said in a tangled manner: "But if you don't say it, I'm really wronged for you, Xiaotuan, you don't know yet, your grandmother plans to give you the marriage that should belong to you Sister Xiaoyu." ”
Li Shi listened, in the past few days, she was finally cleaned up by Jiang Xiaotuan's good food and drink, and the needle in her hand was gone, because her mind stabbed into her fingers, "Hiss." ”
"It's okay, it's just a prick." Li Shi pinched his fingers and said lightly.
Seeing this, Dong Xiufang was overjoyed.
"Alas, I shouldn't have said this, but this matter is related to the life of the little girl, if I don't say it, I won't bear it." Dong Xiufang glanced at Jiang Xiaotuan and saw that she was still calmly picking the beans, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
"Xiaotuan, that's the brother of the Xiucai family, the good marriage that your father earned for you, you can't give it to others like this!" Dong Xiufang said anxiously.
Jiang Xiaotuan put the last bit of beans into the basin, and then weighed it, it was almost enough for the three of them to eat for a few days, "Grandma has already decided to give it to Sister Xiaoyu, it must be that grandma thinks Sister Xiaoyu is more suitable than me......"
"You can't say that, what's yours is yours, how can you let someone rob you?" Dong Xiufang felt that Jiang Xiaotuan's reaction was too calm, this was not like the temperament she had shown in recent days.
She's not as weak as before, this girl is amazing, no matter who you are, if you provoke her, she will dare to show her claws with you.
"What does the third aunt mean to let me snatch it back?" Jiang Xiaotuan put the beans in clean water and asked while washing.
"You kid, what do you mean by robbery, it should be yours," Dong Xiufang sighed, "Of course, if you don't have this heart, then be the third aunt, I haven't been here today, and I haven't said these words." ”
"Xiaotuan, I think what your third aunt said also has some truth, the Wang family was set for you by your father, and it shouldn't be wrong."
Li was moved by Dong Xiufang's words, and if it was her business, she could let it, but it was about her daughter's happiness for a lifetime, and she was unwilling to back down.
"Second sister-in-law, you are right, Xiaotuan is still young, I don't know how good this marriage is, you are a person from the past, you can't be confused." Dong Xiufang took Li's hand and persuaded her earnestly, as if this matter had a lot to do with her.
Jiang Xiaotuan was very curious, why Dong Xiufang did this, she thought to herself, and asked on her lips, "Third aunt, haven't you always had a good relationship with your aunt?" And if you do this, if grandma knows, she will definitely blame you, you are so good to us, I ...... I don't even know how to repay it. ”
Dong Xiufang leaned back, "The little girl is really sensible, her own family is polite, I am not so good with your aunt, but I have a good temper, and I can talk to anyone, in fact, I prefer your mother's temperament, how good, don't fight or grab." ”
"Third aunt, then I have to thank you well, right? After all, you have done us a great favor in the second room. Jiang Xiaotuan induced step by step.
And Dong Xiufang thought that she was really moved by what she said, so she let down her vigilance, "If you really want to thank me, help my third aunt think of ideas and see how you can earn back the five taels of silver you lost before." ”
Sure enough, it was still for the money, Jiang Xiaotuan squinted his eyes and smiled, "Third aunt, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, I don't plan to buy any more stones." ”
"Not buying?" Dong Xiufang looked at Jiang Xiaotuan in astonishment, "Didn't you make money?" Why don't you buy it? ”
"It's because I made some money, enough for our mother to live for a while, so I don't plan to buy it, in case I lose all the swallows in my hand, we really can't survive."
"Do you have any secrets, what kind of stone to choose, round or flat, big or small?" Dong Xiufang was unwilling to match so much silver, and always wanted to earn it back.
She didn't believe what Jiang Xiaotuan said that it depended on luck, so she didn't believe in such ethereal things, and if she didn't know a little trick, how could she spend so much money to buy stones?
They were too eager to make quick gains before, and they didn't ask clearly, but this time she had to take this opportunity to ask properly.
"Little girl, the third aunt is here this time, but you can't lie to the third aunt when talking to you from the bottom of your heart?" Dong Xiufang played the emotional card, "For the sake of you, I risk offending your grandmother, you also have to give the third aunt a truth, right?" ”
