Chapter 78: The Sweet Little Sister-in-law of Rebirth (34)
In this era, most families are patriarchal.
There is no shortage of people who don't give birth to a son and don't give up, even if the son is a fool, he is more important than his daughter. Those who only have a stupid son, even if they sell their daughters, will save money to buy a daughter-in-law, just so that someone can wait for their sons and carry on the family lineage.
A ten-year-old girl like Li Taohua is easy to get married.
Aunt's eyes flashed, she always had to plan for her mother's family, "Mother, if Li Taohua is sold to the mountains by her third grandfather and fourth grandfather, it will be inconvenient to go home in the future, how can I honor you?" With those two old goods here, even if they sell at a good price, how much can our family get? ”
Her mother's family treats her son as a treasure, and her daughter does all the work, even if she is so poor that she can't open the pot, several nephews are idle, otherwise she won't even be able to marry a daughter-in-law, and she can't afford the bride price. If you can't get benefits, people who don't take their daughters seriously won't want to.
The mother-in-law is determined to sell Li Taohua into the mountains, what should her nephew do?
Seeing that there is a helpless and desperate daughter, no matter how cheap her nephew is.
Grandma sneered and said, "Counting on the future? Isn't that the dead ghost mother of Li Taohua like this? said that marrying into a team can take care of her mother's family more, Li Dashu, the poor ghost, married without much dowry, but she died early, and the old lady didn't even enjoy any happiness from her! ”
After a pause, she said: "If you do it once, you won't do it a second time." The nineteen-year-old yellow flower girl is diligent in her hands and feet, even if she has one finger less, she is more than what others want. As long as your mother's family can afford the bride price, you can marry your nephew! ”
Don't think that she doesn't know what her daughter-in-law has in mind, she knows to take care of her mother's family all day long.
My aunt shut up immediately.
The uncle watched his daughter-in-law being squeezed by her father, and he didn't dare to say anything.
A girl like Li Taohua, who has a bad reputation, is impossible to marry into a good family.
can only be sold in the mountains or where there is a stupid son, give a little more dowry and it will be a hammer deal.
Grandpa said, "Okay, I'll go to Uncle Li Dashu's house tonight!" ”
The uncle patted the heads of the two grandsons, and then said with a shy face: "Dad, when you get the bride price money here, send the big egg and the second egg to study." You see that Li Qiuyue's girl has read a lot of books, and she looks more like a city person than those people in the Educated Youth Academy! ”
The eyes of the eldest cousin and the eldest cousin immediately lit up.
"Grandpa, grandma, the last time I went back to my mother's house, I heard my mother say that the second fool on our team was looking for a daughter-in-law. I heard that his family gave a bride price of 50 yuan! The eldest cousin's eyes lit up, and if Li Taohua was sold to send her two sons to school, she would be happy to help.
"Fifty dollars is too little, and this kind of one-hammer deal will cost a hundred dollars." Grandma shook her head.
If it was only for one family, she would be happy to give them fifty dollars.
The problem is that Li Taohua's third and fourth grandfathers are not fuel-efficient lamps.
If the three families divide it together, fifty yuan is too little, and each family can only get more than sixteen yuan.
"Milk, I'll go back to my mother's house in the afternoon. Their family conditions are good, the two sisters and three sisters are diligent people, the two sisters are married and help the family, and when his three sisters are also married, a hundred yuan can afford it. The eldest cousin said.
The aunt glared at her daughter-in-law fiercely, and helped introduce her to ask for benefits for her mother's family, right?
This family with a ghost in her heart, Qingjiu's grandmother is right, it is all goods that see money.
Listening to the family in the house discussing to sell her, Li Taohua broke down emotionally, hugged her knees and cried, and was afraid of alarming others, she bit her left hand desperately, shrunk in the corner of the wall and trembled while crying, fake!
It's all fake!
It's all hypocrisy!
Pretending to be nice to her is just to sell her!
Li Taohua didn't know how long she had been crying, crying until her mind was blank and she couldn't think about things.
After a long time, until her hands and feet were numb, her tears dried up, and her bitten left hand was already oozing blood, she moved, her bloodshot eyes staring at the wall with hatred, and her voice was so light that she couldn't even hear herself.
"Life is also tormented by you, why don't you die with me!"
This world is fake, even she is fake, so let's die together!
People who have already died once, she is not afraid to die a second time.
Li Taohua came home with the cloth bag in vain, and saw a kitchen knife in the corner of the yard, which was the one she was going to take to Li Qiuyue's mother's house that day, Li Taohua picked up the knife and returned to the kitchen, and threw the cloth bag and kitchen knife on the cutting board.
Then he stood in front of the water tank in a daze, staring blankly at the dead mouse.
Li Taohua showed a hint of madness in her expression, and said to the dead mouse: "You died alone, I'm different, don't look at my family, I'm the only one left, it won't be long before many people will die with me, I'm much happier than you!" ”
threw the dead rat out, and Li Taohua boiled a large pot of porridge with that pot of water.
As soon as the porridge was cooked, Li Taohua took out a paper bag from the corner under the stove.
Just as she was about to take the medicine, her aunt appeared sneakily, and she quickly put it in her pocket.
Li Taohua beckoned her aunt into the house and gave her a bowl of porridge, "Auntie, drink a bowl of porridge to warm up!" ”
I have to say that Li Taohua grew up very fast, when she faced Qing Jiu before, Qing Jiu could play her around casually, and now she has discovered the true face of those "relatives", Li Taohua quickly confirmed the goal and put away her gaffe.
When facing her aunt, she can not only be calm, but also smile.
There was no hatred on his face, and there was a trace of admiration in his eyes, looking eager for family affection.
My aunt's expression moved, and she was really bluffed, "Peach Blossom is getting more and more sensible!" ”
Li Taohua lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said in a depressed tone: "I'm the only one left at home, and I can't live this life if I don't know anything anymore." After a pause, she smiled again, "Auntie, let's drink porridge first, drink it while it's cold!" ”
While drinking hot porridge, my aunt looked at Li Taohua.
That night, Li Taohua carried a knife to Li Jingtian's house, and she was still a little weak in her heart.
Afraid that Li Taohua would know her mother-in-law's calculations, she turned around and killed her own family with a knife.
Looking at Li Taohua's behavior now, she finally relieved the last trace of concern, now is the best, Li Taohua is helpless and lonely, as long as someone treats her well, she will wag her tail and stick it, and she is the most easily manipulated by others.
My aunt put down the bowl and took Li Taohua's hand with a worried expression.
"If your mother were still here, she would be distressed to death when she saw you like this! I used to watch you work as a cow and a horse for Li Qiuyue's mother and daughter, and forgot about your own mother, your aunt has a good relationship with your mother, so she is angry with you, and she never cares about you, you won't blame your aunt, right? ”
