Zhang's smile was wrinkled, he opened a small cloth bag, and pushed it to the kang and said: "San'er, this is a dowry gift from the Chengjia today, I didn't push it back, so I accepted it, and the family is very anxious, so let Xiang'er marry next month." ”

"Mother, I don't agree." Hai's face sank and he replied.

"You're still against the sky, do you have a part in the decision?" Zhang shouted with standing eyes.

Hai said aggrievedly: "Mother, you promised to let me inquire for a day, but I haven't replied to you yet." ”

"What's in your head? If you don't marry and start a family, it's hard to marry the sick tuberculosis of the Chen family, isn't your mother also for your good, what do you say, San'er? ”

Yu Sanguang knocked the smoke pot and replied: "Mother, in order to save me and Xiang'er, Brother Chen lost an arm, and life will be a problem in the future, the sister-in-law of the Chen family scolded right, we can't be the wolf-hearted person, Lan Xiang, I agree to marry the Chen family." ”

Hai Shi's tears fell immediately, and a fist hit Yu Sanguang in the chest, scolding: "Why are you so ruthless? Lan Xiang can't marry into a family, and it can't marry into the Chen family, so Chen Xiaozhi has no tomorrow today, Mrs. Chen is bitter and mean, can Xiang'er still get good in the future? ”

Zhang's broom pimple was thrown on Yu Sanguang's face, and he scolded: "You are dead, let your mother-in-law press on your head?" If you don't fight for three days, you will be used to uncovering the tiles in the house. And you, what Chen family to marry, your daughter is not biological? The family lives in a big bluestone house, and the Chen family lives in a yellow mud house; Chen Xiaozhi is a sick man, and Cheng San'er is a strong man; The Chen family has a bitter old woman, and she will be in charge of the family when she enters the door, how can you choose to use my wife to help you? I accepted this silver, you have to agree if you agree, you have to agree if you don't agree, you have to agree, there is no need to discuss, Lanxiang will marry next month. ”

Hai Shi pushed Yu Sanguang angrily, and when he returned to the house, he began to cry, and Yu Sanguang squatted in the corner and smoked the cigarette pouch and pot without tobacco shreds.

Lan Ya had already seen the two of them coming back, so she hurriedly flashed into the house, and when she saw the looks of the two, she knew that there was no good result.

Lan Ya pulled up Hai Shi and said: "Mother, don't cry, we have to think of a good countermeasure, even if we don't let my sister marry, we can't offend the family." ”

Hai sobbed for a long time, and then remembered and asked: "Ya'er, you haven't said why you don't let Xiang'er marry into a family, your aunt has turned against your grandmother because of this, she has relatives in Quanshui Village, she must know the roots, are you wrong?" ”

Lan Ya sighed and said to Yu Sanguang, who was going out: "Dad, don't be in a hurry to go to Chen's house to reply, listen to me and make a decision." ”

Let Yu Sanguang also sit on the kang, Lan Ya closed the door tightly, and then snuggled up to Hai's side and said, "Father, mother, don't be angry when you two hear it, and don't make noise." There must be no evidence for this. The Cheng family is a tyrant in Quanshui Village, and everyone in the village rumors that the daughter of the Liu family who disappeared last year was related to Cheng Saburo and was forced; Cheng Dalang married a daughter-in-law in the spring, and hanged himself within a month of entering the door, and it was rumored in the village that Cheng Saburo forced his sister-in-law to wait for him, and he couldn't think of hanging. No one who knows the details dares to marry his daughter, for fear of being forced to serve the four old men......"

Lan Ya said disappreciatively, but Yu Sanguang and Hai's faces turned pale when they heard it, and Hai covered Lan Ya's mouth, and said with a red face: "Little girl, don't say anything, what you want and serve." After speaking, the tears fell again, and he sobbed and said, "Sanguang, who is your mother looking for Xiang'er, just for twenty taels of silver?" I've been making cows and horses for her for so many years, and it's not worth twenty taels of silver? ”

Lan Ya pulled Hai's hand to hit Yu Sanguang, and continued: "Mother, you are wrong, it's not twenty taels, there is an eighteen-year-old girl in the family, let go of the family, as long as a woman marries, the girl in the family will change her parents, twenty taels of dowry, plus twenty taels of dowry, forty taels inside and out." ”

Hai Shi was stunned when he heard this, and remembered what happened when He and Zhang were angry, and his eyes widened and said: "I just want to understand that your aunt and your grandmother are angry, not because Lanxiang robbed her of her relatives, but because she wanted to exchange Lanxiang for her relatives; Your grandmother doesn't agree and wants to exchange orchid for Xiaoguang?! ”

After figuring out the joints, Hai cried even more fiercely, and he couldn't take it anymore.

Yu Sanguang's face was also pale, and in such a family, he was afraid that Lan Xiang would hang herself like a daughter-in-law in less than a month.

Lan Ya listened to the louder and louder crying, and hurriedly comforted: "Mother, don't worry, isn't the eldest sister still married?" There's always a way to think about it. ”

Hai Shi stood up, picked up the small broom on the edge of the kang, and felt that the force was not enough, so he unloaded the rope that Lan Ya got back from the wall, and said angrily to Sanguang: "If your mother doesn't take back this, I will hang myself here, so as to save Xiang'er from suffering and dying in distress when she becomes a family." ”

Seeing the pain on Yu Sanguang's face, holding his head in the corner of the wall, Lan Ya was afraid that he wouldn't be able to think about it before Hai's family, Yu Sanguang hanged himself first, and hurriedly pulled Hai's and said: "Mother, don't force your father in this matter, he didn't recruit either, right?" When the money arrived in my grandmother's hand, Wong Tai Sin stood in front of her, and she didn't spit it out. I'm going to find a way to get the family out of my family, but I'm afraid my sister's reputation is ......."

Hai said ruthlessly: "Don't take precautions, as long as you live, it's better than dead." I'll explain to your eldest sister that she won't have an idea. ”

Lan Ya thinks about it, can't she go and repeat the dirty thing of starting a family with Lan Xiang again, right? Hai's appearance is the most appropriate. She still concentrates on thinking about how to get a family out of her family.

Back in the house, Rat Xiaobai was lying on the kang with a golden knife, touching his belly comfortably, humming and chirping.

Lan Ya sniffed with her nose and said with a smile: "Who's house went to steal meat oil again, and it won't pay for your life." ”

Rat Xiaobai wrinkled his nose and said: "Look at the prince of rats, I have a little brother under me, with a wave of my big hand, delicious food and drink are rolling." ”

Lan Ya rolled her eyes and smiled: "Rat Xiaobai, help me do something, I'll give you and your little brother Rat a big roast chicken ......"

Rat Xiaobai rolled his eyes, ignored Lan Ya and twisted his body, his stomach grunted suspiciously, surging like a spring, and Rat Xiaobai was embarrassed and refused to answer.

Lan Ya smiled: "It's not satisfying to drink meat oil with white water, three roast chickens ......."

Rat Xiaobai turned his face and said: "I can't eat delicious food is not caused by you, the master, every day mixed noodles and slag, just this little oil or gnawed at the bottom of the oil jar, the salt is salty, drink a stomach of water." This is what you said, three roast chickens, not a leg is missing......"

Lan Ya nodded violently, almost calling Rat Xiaobai an ancestor.

The three sisters of Lan Ya went up the mountain to hunt pigweed as in the past, and when they came back, Lan Ya felt that the back basket was much heavier, and when they opened the pigweed, there was a brown pocket inside, and when they opened the mouth of the bag, there was a big ball and countless dense small balls, and there was a fishy smell.

Lan Ya suddenly, this is the snake gall sent by Yin Rutai's order, and the big snake gall is estimated to be the giant python that fell off the cliff, and somehow got it up. There were as many as thirty or forty small snake galls.

I'm afraid that I was still angry with him and Xiao Ran, so I secretly threw it into the back basket during the gap between mowing the grass.

Lan Ya didn't know what politeness was, let alone backbone, so she accepted it all and put it in Liu's house, which provoked Liu's deception.

.......

There is a new gossip in the village, and there is a happy event in the third room of the Yu family, a great happy event.

Sanfang Lanxiang married to the leading family in Quanshui Village, and the daughter of the family married Yu Xiaoguang, and married together on the second day of the first month of next month, although the two pairs will be worse in terms of generation, but for the ravine and ditch that is difficult to say about the daughter-in-law, these will not be a problem, and the dowry and dowry are twenty taels, and the forty taels inside and outside the family are in, which is the only glory in the village.

Zhang's small waist pole was straightened when he landed, but the house of marriage became an urgent need.

Zhang's abacus knocked loudly, just waiting for Zhou Youcai to fulfill the promise of building a house and marrying Yu Caihe with a dowry of fifty taels, but the left can't wait, the right can't wait, and the house is even more shadowless, let the big bolt go to the Zhou family, the people of the Zhou family only said that the master went to Nanchuan to talk about business with the Wang family, and he could not come back after two months.

It's just that the marriage of a family waits for no one, and the daughter of a married family can't always be crammed into a room with her nephew when she gets married, right?

Now to build a big house with blue bricks, first, it is too late, and second, the Zhang family wants Zhou Youcai to build a house, and does not want to pay for it himself.

With a roll of his eyes, he thought about it, and called Sanguang to the house and said: "Sanguang, look, your fourth brother is getting married, and it doesn't look like there is no new house, isn't the house on the mountainside of the Chen family empty?" Do you see if you can go there and deal with it for a while, and when Caihe gets married, our family will build a big blue brick house, and come back to live in three rooms, don't you think? ”

Yu Sanguang looked at Zhang in astonishment, Zhang lowered his head in shame, and muttered: "Lan Ya has the protection of the fairy girl, there is nothing to do up and down the mountain, just don't go out at night." ”

Yu Sanguang didn't say a word, stumbled back to the house, sullen, and poured in the good wine that Lan Ya gave last time to prepare for the New Year, his eyes were as red as a rabbit, I don't know if it was because of drunkenness or sadness.

Lan Ya sat next to Yu Sanguang, who was lying down, pressed the man's temple, and said softly: "Dad, you may be a good thing from two aspects. You should take this opportunity to bring up the split. The last time the eldest mother didn't agree to the separation, it was because she wanted to use the eldest sister to change the eldest brother's relatives, and now the eldest sister's family affairs have been decided, and no one will stop this matter. In the future, when the second sister and I get married, we will not be forced to marry a bastard like the Cheng family, let's pick and choose. ”

Yu Sanguang sighed, closed his eyes, and said to himself: "I just didn't expect that your grandmother was so ruthless to let us live in the mountains, where is this separation, this is sweeping the floor and going out, pity me for being so hearty." ”

"Dad, there's nothing wrong with living in the mountains. There are few beasts during the day and don't come out at night, didn't the eldest lady of the Chen family and Brother Xiaozhi also spend three years of quiet life on the mountain? ”

Yu Sanguang touched Lan Ya's head and said, "But if you live on the mountain, you will be almost isolated from the village, and there will be no one to help you when you encounter problems." ”

Lan Ya said: "Dad, let's just move around diligently, do you see that after the Chen family went down the mountain, the people in the village were not very good to them?" When we have the money, we can go back to the village and build a house. ”
