Chapter 63: Shen Da's decision
Thinking about it, he felt that if he married this pretty widow, he would not be too sad in the future, but Shen Da soon remembered what Shen Wan'er said, and his heart tugged back and forth, not knowing what to do.
For several days, Shen Da was struggling with this matter in his heart.
The matchmaker has already come over to urge her, and she is waiting for Shen Da to give a word if it works, but Shen Da has not yet struggled with a result.
So I fooled the matchmaker in three or two.
When she went back, the matchmaker still hoped to earn this gift money, so she didn't force Shen Da hard, but just asked the people around Shen Da to persuade him more, such a good person, if he missed it, maybe there would be no more in the future.
It's a cold late autumn, and it's a little warmer because of the sun.
Shen Wan'er wore a little more today, and walked around the town twice, so she had a slight fever, and when she was thinking about going back to the pharmacy to rest, she saw a woman in her twenties on the side of the road, with two children.
If it was usual, Shen Wan'er wouldn't say anything, just turned around and left, but today Shen Wan'er stopped and secretly observed the young woman not far away.
Because this young woman is the pretty widow that the matchmaker told Shen Da, she is a little different from the last time she saw it, with two children, those two children don't look big, especially the small one, but they are only two or three years old.
The young woman was shopping for something, and the eldest son was just when he was naughty, and he seemed quite sensible, carrying a bag of things he didn't know what to do, and from time to time he looked at the younger brother on the other side.
The little one didn't know anything, and drooled as he looked at the vendor on the other side shouting and selling sugar gourds.
Shen Wan'er looked tired and panicked, a young woman with two children, these two children are not very old.
This pretty widow's name is Hu Yueyue, and she looks very good, but she doesn't know what her attitude is towards Shen Da.
Shen Wan'er watched quietly for a while, then turned around and went back to the pharmacy.
When they met again, Hu Yueyue didn't dress up very deliberately, she was still wearing the usual coarse cloth clothes.
There is a wooden hairpin in his hair, his skin is pale, and his face makes people protective at a glance, but the look on his face has nothing to do with weakness.
Hu Yueyue's attitude towards Shen Da is the same as Shen Da's attitude towards him, anyway, it's not okay.
If the two are together, then their two children will also have some to take care of.
If Shen Da disagrees, then although it is a little harder for him to live alone now, he will have a lot less trivial things in life.
And I heard that Shen Da used to be a good gambler, although he has been much better in the past half a year, it does not mean that the old disease will not recur in the future.
It's just that the father and sister-in-law have taken a fancy to Shen's family and are getting better and better, so they try their best to match this marriage.
She doesn't care about herself, she is just worried that if the two children go to another family, they will be a little unaccustomed.
After all, Shen Da's two daughters are already in their teens, especially that Shen Wan'er, I heard that she is extremely powerful, very thoughtful, and makes a lot of money.
If such children don't get along well, then the days after that can be imagined will be uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Shen Wan'er's popularity in Peony Village is quite good, and she seems to be a reasonable person, which somewhat makes Hu Yueyue feel more relaxed.
The two of them sat face to face under the arrangement of the matchmaker, Shen Da was not a person who could speak well, and Hu Yueyue was also not the two of them, you and I said one by one, greeted a few times, and then fell into a short silence.
"If you don't want to, then forget it, I know that I have two sons who will definitely cause you trouble, and I myself can understand it very well."
Hu Yueyue really didn't want to continue like this, so she simply made it clear to Shen Da, Shen Da didn't expect Hu Yueyue to say this for a while, and was directly stunned.
"I didn't ......," he said.
"I know that your parents are no longer there, and now there are only three fathers and daughters in your family, but I am different, I still have my father and mother, brother and sister-in-law, and my two sons, which will be more troublesome." Hu Yueyue smiled.
She doesn't want to get married for the time being, it's just that her parents and sister-in-law are pressing, if Shen Da doesn't agree, she won't have much loss, if she really agrees, then there will definitely be a little more ups and downs in her heart.
Shen Da smiled awkwardly, she didn't expect Hu Yueyue to directly explain her own problems clearly.
Just looking at the appearance, it is true that Hu Yueyue is such a sharp character.
"No, you are a very good person, and it will be my blessing to marry you."
Shen Da looked at Hu Yueyue's young face, and said these words as soon as his brain was hot, but after saying it, Shen Da didn't regret it much.
It was as if a big stone that was pressing on his heart had completely fallen at this time, and he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Hu Yueyue was obviously stunned, obviously she didn't expect Shen Dahui to say this, and then laughed softly, "Then you agreed?" ”
"What's wrong with this, I took advantage of you!"
Hu Yueyue's expression was a little complicated, "You have to think clearly, I have two children who are not your own, and they are still young, but you have to raise them." ”
Shen Da paused, "Your children will call me dad in the future, and if you raise them, they will also give me a pension." ”
"And ......," an embarrassed look appeared on his face, "and if you agree, I'd like to have another ......."
"Since you've said it all here, I'll tell you the truth." Hu Yueyue looked at Shen Da seriously, "You have two children over there, and I also have two children on my side, which is four together, at most I will have one more after marrying you, whether it is male or female, if you can accept it, we will continue to talk." ”
"I thought you were going to say something, that's it, of course you can, Wan'er hasn't been reborn for so many years, I don't have that mind anymore, I think it's okay to have another one after you come."
After Shen Da said this, he thought about it again, "Actually, it's okay not to give birth, two days ago my daughter told me that she already has so many children, and what do you want her son to do, she has a daughter and several sons of others, at first I was a little unconvinced, but slowly thinking about it, it seems to be quite right." ”
Shen Da's face was full of pride.
"Although Wan'er is a little spicy, but she is very capable, you know that there is a kind of medicinal herb in our village this year, it was my daughter who organized it, many people have taken money this year, and life is better than before, and there are two families who are building new houses."
In the past, after those people in the village saw Shen Da, they either ignored it, or they pretended to be concerned and asked a few words about the situation in the Shen family, but this year, there were many more people who greeted him with a smile.
"Not born?"
"Yes, these will depend on fate in the future, I can't say clearly now, anyway, it's the same whether there is or not, as long as you really live with me."
Hu Yueyue pursed her lips, "As long as I marry you, I must want to live with you sincerely, and I'm afraid that you will ......."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I also think I really want to live with you." Shen Da immediately remembered his previous gambling and quickly assured Hu Yueyue.
Hu Yueyue smiled.
The matter seems to have been settled, and Shen Wan'er didn't have any special objections when she heard about it, just let Shen Da not regret it, after all, it was Shen Da who chose it himself.
Shen Da said categorically that he would never regret it, but he ended up stuck on the dowry.
He must have no money himself, and the dowry must be like Shen Wan'er.
Shen Wan'er asked everywhere, and most of the dowries around her were chickens and ducks plus some silver.
According to the general family situation, it is between three taels of silver and five taels of silver, and if the family situation is better, it will be more.
Shen Wan'er agreed to take out five taels of silver, and then buy a goose and a quilt or something, which is enough for ordinary people, and Shen Da is quite satisfied with these.
As a result, I never expected that when I was hired in the past, Hu Yueyue didn't say anything.
Hu Yueyue's sister-in-law was unhappy.
said that the Shen family was so rich, and they only took five taels of silver to send them away, and they said a lot of sour words, which made other people a little dissatisfied.
"It's not that I'm not satisfied with this money, but you look at what your family is doing, the villagers are so rich but only take such a little silver, so they send us away every month, you should buy a maid?! Our family can give birth to sons every month, look at the two sons born before, they will be pregnant with a son, five taels of silver, and send beggars! ”
Hu Yueyue heard it in the house, and her face became very bad.
It stands to reason that there is a matchmaker, and it is impossible for ordinary people to say so ugly, but her sister-in-law is not an ordinary person, and the things she does make people hate itchy.
This time, it is said that his father and mother married him to Shen Da, and he has a share of the credit of this sister-in-law.
But just watching Shen Da and everyone doing well, and Shen Da himself looked like he was not angry.
"Look at what you said, we have inquired everywhere, these five taels of silver are a lot in the vicinity, even if you marry a yellow flower girl, it is almost this price, this is too little, so what do you want?"
The matchmaker is not easy to mess with, as soon as she saw this Hu Yueyue's sister-in-law, she knew that she wanted to blackmail a little more, so she immediately went back.
"The family obviously took up the money, five taels of silver, but it was just a little money leaking out of their fingers, which is decent in other people's homes, but it is a shame for their family to only take out such a small amount of money!"
