Chapter 46: Substitution
It has been three days since the news of conscription was rumored in the town, and more and more people came and went to the town to inquire about the news.
Lin Mei, who was panicked, has been getting thinner and thinner these days. Boss Jia is also afraid of the sudden chaos of the world, Lin Mei, a weak woman on the delivery road is not safe, and he intends to let the guys in the store come to pick up the goods every morning, if there is news, let the guys tell him, Lin Meile is relaxed.
There was also a tense atmosphere in the village, and the women who were still chatting under the poplar trees also went home, watched the door, and watched their children and grandchildren to pray that the Bodhisattva would escape.
Wang has been so anxious that he can't sleep at night these days, he doesn't know the taste of food, a big bubble has appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he is so painful that he grins when he speaks. The women of the village invited her to go to Yunling Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, praying for the Bodhisattva's blessing to avoid the catastrophe. Wang agreed, and deliberately went to Lin Mei's house and called Lin Mei to go with him.
"Fourth aunt, I won't go, I'll go all day, and I won't be able to come back the next day, if there's anything at home, I'm not going to be able to deal with it." Lin Mei politely declined Wang's invitation.
The Wang family was not reluctant, so they had to take Lin Xing with him.
Daddy Lin is not having a good time these days, he can come back safely and alive, or rely on his own luck, if it weren't for the help of nobles at the beginning, whether he can come back alive is still a problem......
Daddy Lin didn't dare to think deeply, he was restless, so he had to grind the beans sullenly, Xi'er would look at his face, and seeing that the atmosphere at home was not good, he silently took peaches to help make tofu at home.
After a few more days, there was still no news, and just when everyone was relieved, Lin Chunhua took her daughter Wang Cuiying to Lin Mei's house crying.
"Second brother, you have to help your niece and nephew. Woo woo......" As soon as Lin Chunhua said a word, she couldn't help crying.
Lin Mei poured a glass of water for her aunt and whispered comfort.
Daddy Lin has been irritable these days, and he can't see her crying like this. Hurriedly said: "What happened, you made it clear." ”
Lin Chunhua was afraid of upsetting the second brother, so she didn't dare to cry anymore, and said: "I told Cuiying about a family affair a year ago, and the two families originally agreed that they would not pass the door until Cuiying turned fifteen years old." But now the man repented and wanted to get married immediately, Cui Ying was only thirteen years old, how could I be willing to let her come over so early, so I discussed with her father that if the man was in a hurry, this family affair would be forgotten, but the man did not agree, so he had to get married immediately, saying that the days were good, and he would marry Cui Ying in three days. ”
Wang Cuiying, who was sitting on the side, suddenly knelt in front of Father Lin and kowtowed: "Second uncle, you save me, I went to my uncle's house with my mother first, as soon as my aunt heard about this, she was afraid of getting into trouble, so she drove me and my mother out, and the fourth uncle was not at home, so I could only come to beg you." ”
"Meizi, help your cousin up." To be honest, at this juncture, Daddy Lin doesn't want to meddle in things, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, not to mention that when the two families discuss marriage, both parties agree, but now the man asks to marry in advance, how can this help?
Lin Mei saw that Father Lin didn't ask any more, and knew that this matter was tricky, so she asked directly: "Why did the man suddenly get married early, there must be a reason, right?" ”
"What other reason can there be, it's not that there are rumors of conscription recently, their family has an only son, if it is really conscripted, their family will be at the end, but Cui Ying is only thirteen years old, if he can really leave a queen for his family, he can count on his son to live for the rest of his life, but if it is ...... Na Cuiying will have to be a widow in their house for the rest of her life. Lin Chunhua cried again as she spoke.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Lin Mei sighed.
The man's family hopes to keep a queen and inherit the incense, but the woman's family is afraid that her daughter will be ruined for the rest of her life if she falls into the fire pit.
Each family has its own reason for this, and it is really difficult to do.
"And how do you think I can help you?" Father Lin thought about it carefully, this was a difficult thing to solve, but his sister brought his daughter to the door for help, and there should be a way to deal with it. Otherwise, even if this matter is caused to the yamen, it will not be justified.
"This ...... This ......" Lin Chunhua was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to talk about it.
Father Lin yelled at her anxiously: "Don't do this, don't do this, but say." ”
"I really can't open my mouth about this." Lin Chunhua glanced at Lin Mei twice, covered her face and cried again.
"Your mother can't say it, so you can say it." Father Lin said to Wang Cuiying.
Wang Cuiying was a little scared, looked at Lin Mei, lowered her head and said, "The man said, it's okay to say that you don't want me to marry, but you have to find someone to marry me for you." ”
Lin Mei was already very puzzled by Wang Cuiying's move to look at herself, and when she said this, she understood everything. Dare to love her own idea, and want to let herself marry her, this calculation is a good fight.
Lin Mei was very sympathetic to this cousin before, but now that bit of sympathy is also disgusted, and she is not in a hurry, she sits on the side and watches what they say.
"Is this the man's idea, or your family's idea, you tell me the truth." Father Lin also heard the meaning of this, and seeing that this sister had now calculated on Meizi, his tone of voice became serious.
Lin Chunhua knew that this was an offending thing, but she still wanted to give it a try, after all, they were brothers and sisters of the same mother, in case the brothers agreed with kindness.
Lin Chunhua started to fight Lin Guo's idea, but as soon as Lin Zhang's family heard that Lin Guo was allowed to marry instead, they directly drove their mother and daughter out.
"Second brother, you can help me, I am also desperate, and I will not let Mei Zibai marry, I will compensate you, I don't want any of the bride price given by the man's family, I will give it all to you, and give you an extra ten taels of silver." Lin Chunhua said loudly.
"Ten taels? Aunt, you are really calculating, do you know how much silver I can earn a month now? Ten taels of silver, what do you say? Lin Mei didn't expect that she was only worth ten taels of silver in their eyes.
Lin Chunhua hasn't been back for many years, how did she know that Lin Mei was in the tofu business now, not to mention, it was only five taels of silver to buy a little girl in the village, and at most ten taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law.
Wang Cuiying was taken aback when she heard that Lin Mei meant that she was thinking that the silver was too little: "Sister Meizi, ten taels of silver is a lot, Miao Laidi in our village was sold to Ma Pozi by her father for five taels of silver." ”
"Cuiying, shut your crow's mouth!" When Lin Chunhua heard her daughter say this, she was angry, and hurriedly scolded.
"Yes, with such good conditions, why don't you marry yourself, and you can still save ten taels of silver for private money." Lin Mei said with disdain.
"Eldest niece, don't be angry, your cousin has been spoiled by me since she was a child, she has no mouth and no heart, she can't speak, don't take it to heart." After Lin Chunhua finished speaking, she glared at Wang Cuiying.
"Okay, I won't go around in circles with you anymore, it's impossible to let Meizi marry instead, since you also know that you can buy a girl for five taels of silver, then why don't you buy a girl and marry a righteous girl."
Not to mention, Daddy Lin's idea is still good, but Lin Mei doesn't agree with this idea, isn't this pushing other people's daughters into the fire pit.
Lin Chunhua didn't think so, this is really a good idea, spend some money to buy a girl and accept her as a righteous daughter, which not only solves the urgent matter, but also does not offend people, killing two birds with one stone.
Lin Chunhua, who got the advice, put away her tears, smiled happily, and pulled Wang Cuiying to apologize to Father Lin and apologize to Lin Mei.
