Chapter 8: A Big Fight
As soon as she said this, the matchmaker's face was very embarrassed, she looked at Lin Xiaofang and Song Yuhua embarrassedly, and hurriedly left a sentence to Lin Xiaofang, "You should think about it", and ran away.
Lin Xiaofang's face changed several times, staring at Song Yuhua and just about to speak, Song Yuhua spoke first, "I don't marry, it's useless for you to persuade me." ”
With that, he turned around and went into his room.
Song Yuhua curled up on the narrow bed, staring at the uselessly whitewashed and somewhat ugly ceiling for a while, still feeling a little uncomfortable, because she knew that Lin Xiaofang would not give up for the not a small amount of bride price.
took out the letter written by Gu Jun and read it carefully, Song Yuhua felt a lot better.
She counted the days, Gu Jun went to join the army, and it has been more than a month, and she doesn't know how she is doing. Thoughts are like the flow of water that has burst the embankment, and it is out of control.
I don't know if I felt Song Yuhua's thoughts, but within two days, Gu Jun's second letter arrived.
The content of the letter probably has two meanings, telling about her life in the barracks and her thoughts about Song Yuhua, but only two pages made Song Yuhua's heart warm all of a sudden, making her feel that the grievances she suffered before were nothing.
After reading it, Song Yuhua found the treasured pencil and the paper of the homework book, and wrote a second letter to Gu Jun, but after writing, she could only fold it and put it in the box, because she had no money to send the letter, and all the family's income was in Lin Xiaofang's hands.
locked the letter in a small box with his reply, and hid the small box in the straw that made the bed next to the pillow, except for Song Yuhua, I am afraid that no one can find this place.
Song Yuhua didn't take Liu Er in his eyes, but Liu Er didn't want to just forget it, and the angry matchmaker went back to add fuel and vinegar to Song Yuhua's words, not only Liu Er, but Liu Er's parents were unhappy with Song Yuhua.
"Xiao Er, you can't have such a spicy woman, let's change it?" Mother Liu said worriedly.
Liu Er shook his head stubbornly, "No, Mom, I want her, doesn't she [typo] want to marry me, I want to marry her, let her know how good I am!" ”
"This ......"
Mother Liu looked at her husband with uncertain attention, and Father Liu knocked on the cigarette stick, "Let him be, we have earned a lifetime, and it will not all be his." ”
So, Liu Er's family stuffed two more yuan to the matchmaker and asked her to continue to lobby, which was bound to make the Song family agree to marry their daughter. The matchmaker's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed, she knew that Lin Xiaofang was greedy for money, as long as her parents were done, even if Song Yuhua didn't agree, what was the use.
So, the matchmaker visited Song's house twice in three days, and she didn't know that she was here to kiss, but came to Lin Xiaofang to chat, and Song Yuhua was not really indiscriminately spicy, and she was helpless when she was angry.
The matchmaker's trick was not useless, on the third day, Lin Xiaofang began to look for Song Yuhua, telling her about the benefits of marrying and the comfort of the Liu family, but every time, Song Yuhua resolutely refused.
came and went, Lin Xiaofang was also annoyed, saying that Song Yuhua had been reading books for a few years, what had she been reading in her brain, if she didn't want such a good in-law, did she still want to be a queen.
The two had a big quarrel, and things were done, but neither of them wanted to pay attention to anyone.
Gradually, Song Minggen also stood on Lin Xiaofang's side and asked Song Yuhua to marry, Song Yuhua was unwilling, she gritted her teeth, she obviously had resentment in her heart, but tears couldn't help but flow down.
When Song Minggen saw it, his heart immediately softened, and he sighed, "You said such a good family affair, why don't you agree." ”
Lin Xiaofang is a capable person, as early as Song Yuhua knew it in the previous life, not long after the commotion, almost the entire village knew that Liu Er from Fulin Village came to the Song family to propose marriage, Song Yuhua herself was unwilling, but her parents agreed, and they were forcing their daughter to marry.
Song Yuhua was very stubborn, and Lin Xiaofang was also helpless, she sat in the room and discussed with Song Minggen, "What can I do about this, my daughter has grown up and doesn't listen to her mother." ”
Song Minggen was also annoyed, "Otherwise, forget it." ”
Lin Xiaofang's eyes suddenly widened, "That's thirty yuan!" Who can get so much money for the bride price, it can be seen that the Liu family is rich, and the eldest girl is also blessed to marry in the past, and she can also subsidize and subsidize her mother's family. ”
"But the big girl doesn't want to, you can't force her to death for these thirty dollars." Song Minggen said a rare word for Song Yuhua.
Song Yaozu, who was standing at the door and overheard the conversation between the two, his eyes lit up suddenly, thirty yuan! Enough for him to spend as long as it takes! And......
remembered what Xiaohong told him in the village a few days ago, her father was willing to marry Xiaohong to him, but he had to ask for a bride price of twenty yuan, twenty yuan, where did the family get so much money, Song Yaozu, who was secretly dating Xiaohong, didn't dare to tell his parents about it.
But now, what did he hear, he was willing to pay a bride price of thirty yuan to marry his sister, isn't this money still his, and there are still ten yuan left after marrying Xiaohong with twenty!
With a roll of his eyes, Song Yaozu knocked on his parents' door.
"Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you." Song Yaozu lowered his head, looking very pitiful.
Lin Xiaofang suddenly overflowed with maternal love, pulled Song Yaozu over and asked with concern: "What's wrong son?" ”
"Actually, I have a partner, we've been dating for more than half a year, and we've been secretly busy with you, I'm sorry."
Lin Xiaofang and Song Minggen glanced at each other, "This is a good thing, whose daughter, tell us." ”
Song Yaozu is seventeen years old this year, although legally speaking, he is still a minor, but at that time, and in the countryside, there were not many people who got married at this age.
Song Yaozu squirmed for a while before he said Xiaohong's name, but the next moment, his face cried and mourned, "Mom, Xiaohong's father wants to marry her to someone else, but what should I do, he said that unless I can get a bride price of twenty yuan, I will marry Xiaohong to a thirty-year-old bachelor in the next village......"
Early the next morning, Song Yuhua was woken up by a burst of crying, she didn't sleep well for a few days, she went out to see, Lin Xiaofang was holding the hemp rope in her hand, set up a bench and stood at the door, while tying the hemp rope to the head of the column, while crying: "I'm not alive, eighteen years, I raised you for eighteen years, you are against me like this, in this case, I might as well die......"
Song Yuhua stood at the door of the room expressionlessly, only feeling that this scene was terrifyingly familiar, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be cold, without a trace of temperature.
She shuddered, and she still couldn't understand why she had to force her to die when she was obviously a family of relatives?
