Chapter 3 "The Truth"
Quiet rebirth of people, among them is the old Anjia.
Lao An's family has a large family. Quiet grandfather, An Laohan is an honest to cowardly person. There is basically nothing to say on weekdays, and the old woman is in charge of all the big and small affairs in the family. An Pozi is a tricky one, gave birth to three sons, and got a daughter when she was old, and she was spoiled like something.
The quiet uncle of "An Dashan", his temperament is a copy of the old man, marrying his wife Li Guizhi, Li Guizhi is a sweet mouth and can calculate. Very much liked by the old lady. An Dashan has a son and a daughter. My son's name is Anjin and he is 17 years old. Her daughter's name is Jin Feng and she is 15 years old this year.
"An Dahai" is a father who died quietly, with a straightforward and stubborn temperament, he learned to hunt with the old hunters in the mountains, and he knows how to do kung fu with his fists and feet, so he saved a blue brick house for the old An family. A year ago, An Dahai went up to hunt and encountered wolves. Although the person survived, he was seriously injured, and after more than a month, the person was still gone.
"Sun Ruolan" An Dahai's wife, a quiet and hard-working mother. Dad said that the only daughter of the mother's Xiucai family, since she was a child, she has never lacked food and clothing, but unfortunately a turmoil was killed by thieves, and she was left alone. The family property was looted, the house was burned to ashes, and she was rescued by An Dahai. At that time, Sun Ruolan was homeless, and An Dahai took her home. When Mrs. An saw that her son brought back an orphan girl who had fled, she made the decision to let An Dahai marry Sun Ruolan.
The old lady didn't spend a penny of money, and she got a daughter-in-law for nothing, so it stands to reason that she should be happy, but the old lady just doesn't look down on this daughter-in-law. deceived her without the support of her mother's family, and she was not less angry. An Dahai is an upright person, and he loves this daughter-in-law who is literate and hyphenated and looks beautiful. Therefore, he spoke for his daughter-in-law a lot, and because of the old lady's difficulties with Sun, he had many disputes with the old lady.
As the saying goes, "love the eldest son, spoil the youngest child", An Lao Er, who is not valued in the first place, is even more disgusted by the old lady. It is not an exaggeration to say that this second daughter-in-law is like an enemy.
Since An Dahai died, Sun's already dilapidated body has been getting worse day by day, and he died within a few months. Leaving the 16-year-old quiet, with the 14-year-old Anxin and the eight-year-old dragon and phoenix fetus, it is difficult to live.
"An Dafu" is a quiet third uncle. is treacherous and slippery, and is lazy to eat. Married to his wife Zhang Cuihua. Zhang Cuihua is the niece of the old lady, this Zhang Cuihua relies on her mother-in-law to be in charge of her own acre, and she has to be favored to wear small shoes for the Sun family, and the third uncle's family gave birth to two sons, the eldest son is called An Yin, 14 years old this year. The youngest son's name is An Bao, and he is ten years old this year. I'm studying at the town's academy.
"An Baozhu" quiet little aunt. An Baozhu is 18 years old this year, is an old lady born in her thirties, since she was a child, she grew up in the palm of her hand, and the whole family has to let and spoil, she is the pearl of the old lady's palm, and the flesh of her heart. It stands to reason that this 18-year-old girl has not yet married, which is rare in the countryside, but An Baozhu has high eye sockets, mud legs for farming, and looks down on her. It just went back and forth, and it dragged on until now.
The sun shadow is slanting westward, and at this time on weekdays, the An family has already had dinner. But today, the hall where the house was built was full. Old man An sat cross-legged on the kang and smoked a dry tobacco pouch. The old lady sat opposite the old man, snuggling up to An Baozhu beside her. The two daughters-in-law sat on the edge of the kang, and Jin Feng in the big room leaned on the Li family and muttered quietly to An Baozhu. An Dashan and An Dafu sat on the bench, but the boys were not there.
Several people didn't say anything, because they woke up quietly, they were all worried, worried about quiet, knowing that they would make a big fuss if they sold Anxin. I was worried that the two hundred taels of silver I had received would come to naught.
Silence came in from outside, and everyone in the room looked up at her. The expression on his face can be described as very exciting, and he quietly ignored the people next to him, and only said to the eldest aunt Li: "Auntie, I have been asleep for the past few days, and I woke up this morning to listen to the second sister, and the eldest aunt told her about her family." also said that she would marry the day after tomorrow, I asked her else, she didn't say, just cried vigorously, I thought, come over and ask the uncle, what is going on? ”
Li Guizhi glanced at the old lady, helped her hair pinned to the silver hairpin, and stretched the placket of her clothes, and then said with a smile on her face, "Jing girl, you can be a good uncle, I am finally relieved, and it is not in vain that I burn incense and worship the Buddha every day, and ask the Buddha for blessing." Isn't it? Yesterday I went to the town to meet my good sister in the same village, she was doing things in the town last year's old man's house, this town last week's family is a big family, this week's family, there is a young master who has not taken a kiss, I heard that our family has a good appearance and a good temperament, so I want to marry back to be a young grandmother. No, as soon as I came back and said it, the old lady agreed to the marriage. Speaking of which, this family affair is still high for us! ”
"No, this week's family is a big landlord. What kind of daughter-in-law can't say? You and the girl have to thank you for your aunt. An Dafu shook his legs and said in a weird manner.
"Third uncle, eldest uncle, grandmother, this heart is still small. This big family, we peasant girls don't want to climb high, and we can't climb high, so we still retreat, right? Quietly said patiently.
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. An, who was sitting on the kang, stopped doing it, "What to retreat?" I'm in charge of this family matter, what's the matter? I'm a milkman who can't be a girl anymore? Besides, this girl is fourteen years old, although it is not big, but it is not small. The Zhou family wants to get married as soon as possible, and they are also thinking about being happy, and the Zhou family is not bad for eating and drinking. The girl in her heart married earlier and enjoyed happiness earlier, didn't she? Now that you have no labor in the second room, what are you going to live by? The two little cubs don't eat or drink? Do you and the girl with your heart want a dowry when you marry in the future? Our family is poor, and you have a lot of children in the second room, and it is not the big house and the third room that are being dragged down. Your lobby brother is seventeen years old, and he hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, but he doesn't even have a spare room in this family, how can he marry? Your sister-in-law is so symbolic, what a smart girl, she hasn't said a good family affair until now, and she is not poor at home? The days of spending money are ahead, you can't call the boss, the third family will give you two rooms to raise children for nothing, right? ”
"Yes, Jing girl, you just listen to your milk, this week the family gave a dowry of two hundred taels of silver, and when the time comes, prepare a lot of dowry for you and the four girls, and then marry a daughter-in-law for Brother Ming, and your father and mother can also be blind underground. Besides, this girl in her heart is blessed to marry her. The Zhou family makes slaves and maids, and there are countless amounts of money, isn't it better than marrying a mud leg in the future? Li Guizhi took over and said.
Zhang Cuihua saw that she was quiet and silent, thinking that she was moved, and took over the conversation, "Isn't that just the reason?" The town is not far from home, you can always see each other, wait for the girl to get married, and live a year and a half to live a big fat boy, then the good days are still to come," said the hen, and the hen laid eggs, giggling.
"Since the eldest uncle, the third uncle and the third aunt have all said that it is good, and the milk should also be served, we are not easy to say and not believe. It's a pity that my second sister doesn't have that blessing, and it's not that blessed life. My father and mother just went to our sisters and brothers, and we always have to keep filial piety for our father and mother for three years, so as not to be a child in vain. It's better to let Jin Feng marry such a good family affair! Quiet said with squinted eyes.
"Quiet, you dare to curse me! I don't want to bury that dying fool. Hearing Jing Jing say this, An Jinfeng, who was sitting on the kang, shouted at her angrily.
"Let Xin'er go is to enjoy happiness, and let Jin Feng go is to accompany the funeral? Do you really think I'm a fool and don't know anything? That Zhou's son was born stupid, cruel and tyrannical. A few days ago, it fell into the water, and now there is only one breath left, it sounds good, it is to buy a happy lady, but who doesn't know that it was bought to match his son. Your hearts are more poisonous than the wolves on the mountain, and do you not care whether your heart lives or dies for the sake of two hundred taels of silver? Aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? Aren't you afraid that my father and mother will crawl out of the ground to settle accounts with you? Quiet yelled angrily.
"I've got the final say in this family! It's not your turn yet. My wife will tell you today, the heart girl has to marry if she marries, and if she doesn't marry, she has to marry, and this matter can't be done by you or her. An slapped the kang viciously and said to the quiet who was standing underground.
The noise of Lao An's house spread far and wide. The neighbors who had eaten dinner heard the noise, and all gathered outside the courtyard, watching the excitement and discussing...
