"Tomorrow you still say that you have a headache and don't go to cook." Sister Qiu came up with an idea, starved them a few times, and then they would realize the importance of the Jia family, and they would respect the Jia family a little.

Jia Shi naturally understood the meaning of Sister Qiu's words, shook his head and said, "How can that be?" Not to mention that the big cow and the second cow are still young, your grandparents are elders, where can I starve them because of a little resentment, what is it? Your father is gone, and I can't ask the villagers to poke me in the back. Besides, let's eat, you just said that your second aunt won't eat all the pancakes and grass pigs on the kang! ”

Foolishness, really foolishness. Sister Qiu shook her head in her heart, Lao Xiucai's father is gone, and the Jia family has to do filial piety for Mei Laosu and the Mao family for him, if the Mei family treats her sincerely, it will be fine to treat the Jia family as their own family, and the Mei family is all cold people, and they work for them with their hearts, but I am afraid that they still dislike you for not being an automatic machine, and you have to eat when you work.

"Mother, my grandmother beat you at noon, did you forget?" Sister Qiu asked.

Jia's expression was stagnant, and he was embarrassed on his face, and he beat her in front of her daughter, and made such a big fuss, she was ashamed, she was so big, her biological parents were all reluctant to move her fingers, although Mei Laoxiu was not good to her, but she never beat her, but now she is beating her mother-in-law.

She ...... It's your...... I'm a junior, where can I ...... Vengeful. Jia Shi preached with difficulty, not looking at Sister Qiu's face.

Sister Qiu's heart tightened, she knew that Jia was kind and generous, but she didn't expect that Fang Cai's words that reminded Jia were lifted, which lifted the scar on Jia's heart and made her sad.

"Mother, if my grandmother scolds and beats people again, you will run away." Sister Qiu pulled Jia's palm and rubbed it carefully, which is also a health care therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, rubbing the acupuncture points on the palm of the hand, which is very good for the human body.

Although Jia's grievances are bitter, but the girl understands things intimately, and the sentence that is also a child's unintentional words, she is very quick and relieved, and at night she hugged Sister Qiu and thought dizzily, on this day she earned money, gave gifts to her eldest brother, and fulfilled her long-term wish, which is the most comfortable morning she has had over the years, but it was at noon that the whole village knew that it was a slap and humiliation to her mother-in-law, and the changes in the world are really impermanent, as if played in the play.

Early the next morning, Mei Tang hastily ate a few bites of breakfast and went out under the pretext of going out. Although Jia's is weird, Mei Tang didn't get off the table when she was full when she ate back, but she didn't have a temper that didn't talk much, and because of the difference between her uncle and sister-in-law, she didn't open her mouth to ask.

It was not until the afternoon that Mei Tang came back, with an angry look behind his back, strode into the gate, looked at Jia Shi who was fetching water by the well, couldn't help but glance at it, and then entered the hall.

Jia's dumbfounded was inexplicable, and after a while, she heard the head Mao in the hall call her, "Sister Qiu, her mother, come to the house once." ”

Similarly, the hall is the boundary between Mei Laoxun and Mao, unless it is for dinner and Chinese New Year's Eve, the Jia family generally does not come in, and the Mao family has never specifically asked the Jia family to come in.

When Jia opened the curtain and entered the house, Mao pouted and sat on the wooden chair with his back back, and Mei Tang sat on the low pestle on one side.

Looking at this situation, Jia's heart suddenly struck, and he calmed down and asked, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

Because of yesterday's incident, Mao's heart was still a little uncomfortable, and he was not very happy to talk to Jia's on the shelf, so he turned his head and raised his chin to Mei Tang, "You're done." ”

Mei Tang glanced at Jia's family, and immediately said: "Sister-in-law, today I went to Rong Deyi's house, and I met the big boss of other people's families, and the big boss talked about it, the little master of his family is not young, Rong Deyi is just looking for a marriage event for his son, and said that with their family's family background, it is not difficult to marry a lady from an official family, Rong Kang is still young, and he can slowly find a good thing in all aspects." ”

Listening to Mei Tang say that Rong Deyi was giving Rong Kang a matchmaker, Jia was already stupid, standing there as if he had been struck by lightning, she didn't listen to what Mei Tang was talking about, she just looked at Mei Tang's mouth one by one, and her expression seemed to be angry and sighing, but it was actually schadenfreude.

"How can this be ......" After relieving himself, Jia's face turned black for a while, and his legs and feet were all weak, if he didn't hold on to it in his heart, he would have fallen to the ground.

Mei Tang was unhappy, "Eh, sister-in-law, what do you mean by this, I ran to the town to inquire about the news before I had a full breakfast, you didn't thank you, what do you mean?" ”

Jia Shi was also anxious, her heart was overturned, Mei Tang's words she didn't put in her heart at all, looked at Mao and said anxiously: "Mother, how is this possible!" Back then, Rong Deyi knelt by the door of our house and swore a curse, and you and your father all listened! How...... Why do you want to find out the marriage event for Rong Kang? Isn't this a repentance? So, what should Sister Qiu do? As he spoke, Jia's tears welled up.

"Listen to what!" Mao's salty and indifferent preaching, she regretted the marriage of the Rong family, she was also angry in her heart, if the old Xiucai's son was still there, how could she go to the Rong family to comment on the reasoning, preach and preach, even if you can't ask Sister Qiu to marry into the Rong family, you can also ask for some compensation, her son is a meritorious person, no matter how rich the Rong family is, it is also a businessman, and she dare not be disrespectful to her son.

But now it's different, the Rong family is rich, they are poor and white, and there is not even a man in the family who can hold up the table, which is also the reason why the Mao family is more determined to provide the third son for the imperial examination after the death of Lao Xiucai's son, she is very much used by the benefits and glory that Mei Lao Xiucai brought to her, and she can't bear this kind of glory and benefits Since then, it has nothing to do with her.

"You have the ability, go and ask Rong Deyi to hire your daughter!" Mao's Hengdao.

"Xu is a big cow, his father heard it, Rong Kang is the same age as Sister Qiu, only 10 years old, where did he mention the media, people don't estimate that this is ......" Jia Shi snorted, the Rong family is Sister Qiu's only expectation, as long as she can marry into the Rong family, Sister Qiu can live a good life, not in vain to bear the name of an old Xiucai daughter, she can also close her eyes when she dies.

At this moment, the death rate of children is high, and the earliest marriage is two or three years before the marriage, and it must be too early, and the other party's child dies, and his own child will bear the reputation of a "widow" or "widower" in vain. After Jia Shili experienced the earliest panic and dizziness, his consciousness recovered, and he felt that it was unlikely, and it was a little too early to marry Rong Kang at this time.

Second Uncle Mei was not angry, patted his thigh and said to Mao: "I told you well, right?" The sister-in-law doesn't believe it! The big boss of the family is to care about our face, and he didn't directly say that he regretted the marriage. Sister-in-law, you said that Sister Qiu and Rong Kang are engaged, what about the certificate? If you don't have any evidence, you want to go to someone's house to be a young lady? ”

Jia's heart was frightened, she was originally a farmer woman who had not experienced any major things, although she knew that Second Uncle Mei was unlikely to be deceived by her in such a big matter, and the benefits of Sister Qiu's marriage to the Rong family were clear in his heart, but Jia was still unwilling to believe that Sister Qiu's marriage was like a bright light in front of her in the dark, representing her daughter's comfortable and prosperous future, with this bright light, no matter how hard and tired she was, she could endure it.

"I ...... I don't believe it! Jia Shi said tremblingly, his eyes were red, and Rong Deyi, who was thin and skinny, knelt at the door of Mei's house and swore by the sky, swearing and swearing, and she remembered every word clearly. The Mei family also raised Rong Kang for a year, she fed Rong Kang, and the feeding was all close to Rong Kang first, her little daughter was hungry and cried, she was also ruthless and didn't listen, and when Rong Kang was full, it was Sister Qiu's turn to eat a few bites.

When the two children were weaned, Rong Kang was white and fat, and Sister Qiu was thin and small, crying like a kitten barking, and she had no physical strength.

She and Mei Laoxiu treated the Rong family with their hearts, Rong Deyi can't be so ungrateful!

Mao looked at Jia's appearance and paused, "What do you want?" People have all said this, what do you want? When you are the wife of the magistrate, you will hire your daughter by saying that Rong Deyi will hire your daughter? ”

"I ...... I'll go to town tomorrow and ask, I'll ask. Jia plucked up the courage to preach that she had breastfed Rong Kang, and she didn't believe that Rong Deyi ignored these friendships back then.

Mao didn't know what to think, and only raised his eyelids for a long time and said, "Okay, you go and ask." ”

Jia Shi hurriedly sighed with a grateful "eh" and went out of the hall.

Second Uncle Mei was unhappy, looked at Mao and said, "Mother, don't you believe in your son?" I didn't believe it, and he asked him to inquire, and Bai taught him to run back.

Mao Shi glanced at him, "My conscience is all for the dog to eat!" You are so big in vain, you are my son, I don't believe it, which one do you believe? After speaking, he turned his head and opened the curtain and entered the inner room, and when he came out, he took a set of clothes and handed them to Second Uncle Mei.

"Leave this new set of clothes for the big cow to wear." Mao preached.

Second Uncle Mei looked at it, and felt a little familiar, all the trouser sleeves had traces of being dismantled and sewn together, and the green coarse cloth clothes looked like new, and only after a few glances did he think, isn't this the new dress that Sister Qiu wore when she went home!

"Where's the new clothes?" Second Uncle Mei muttered dissatisfiedly, his son actually wanted to pick the clothes worn by Sister Qiu to wear.

Mao was annoyed when he heard this, "You still want new clothes?" How many new clothes are called new clothes? What about the 20 copper plates I gave you in the morning? Give me the rest! ”

Second Uncle Mei hurriedly hugged the clothes into his arms, and said with a smile: "This dress is not bad, where do I dare to dislike my mother's needlework, mother, you are busy first, I will go back to try on the clothes for Da Niu." After speaking, he got up and walked out, and quickly opened the curtain and went out.

In the morning, Mao gave him 20 copper plates to exchange for wine and meat in a small restaurant, and he had already eaten them dry, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was afraid that Mao would smell the wine in his mouth, so he went down to the riverside and poured a belly of cold water before he dared to enter the house.

When Jia Shi entered the east room, the tears began to fall while hugging Sister Qiu, and her heart was numb and cold, and she didn't have any bottom at all. If there is no marriage of the Rong family, what should Sister Qiu do?

"What's wrong with you?" Sister Qiu's Mao called Jia into the house and reprimanded her again.

Jia shook his head desperately, and only after a long time did he speak: "Sister Qiu, tomorrow I will go to the town with my mother to do something." ”

Sister Qiu was surprised, "Didn't you go to your uncle's house the day before yesterday?" Why do you go again, does Grandma agree? ”

"Not to your uncle's house." Jia Shi reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Go to an acquaintance's house, and my mother will talk to someone about the past." ”

In Jia's view, the big thing in marriage is the decision of the parents, and when the children, especially the girls, are not allowed to ask, and now that this kind of thing is happening, it is not allowed to ask the daughter.

Sister Qiu is not really a 10-year-old child, in addition to knowing the eldest uncle's family in the town, the only one who can be related to the Rong family is the Rong family. Seeing that the Jia family is helpless like this, Tie must have had a problem with her marriage with the Rong family. In Sister Qiu's view, this is also a matter of time, and the Rong family clearly does not want to admit this marriage event, which has always been the wishful thinking of the Jia family. Otherwise, Fang Laosu would not have asked the donkey to marry her in a gesture of repaying the favor.

"Are you going to Rong's house?" Sister Qiu asked with a wink.

Jia's big black eyes looked at Sister Qiu's heart for a while, but his mouth said: "Don't care about the children, my mother has the deployment arrangements herself, and if you give up this life, it will not make you suffer." ”

"Mother, if you die, how can I not suffer? Without you, they ......" Sister Qiu sighed and pointed to the hall and the west side house, "Maybe you can sell me for a good price." You don't move backwards and say that you have given up this life, and you can protect me only if you live. You see, my father, I left in December, and they wanted to sell me when I got out of January, so it didn't matter who my father was. ”

Jia Shi nodded hurriedly, "Eh, my mother said the wrong thing, so I won't say it like this in the future." She still felt that Sister Qiu had no father, and she was afraid that she would no longer have her mother, and she said the wrong thing and made her daughter sad.

Seeing that Jia Shiken listened to her words, Sister Qiu persuaded again: "Mother, we don't have to go to Rong's house, the meaning of their family is clear, and it's useless to go, my arms and legs are sound and not lazy, and I'm worried that no one wants it?" ”

At this time, there are only men who beat singles, there is no daughter that no one wants, a girl is ugly, no matter how poor the family is, no matter how fierce the time of birth, there are also men with poor family conditions to ask for marriage. Even if you have dementia with IQ problems, you only need to be healthy, you can have children, and you can get married.

Like Sister Qiu, although she bears the name of a poisonous "mother insect", but this is just people's gossip after dinner, like the donkey's mother is really not much, the dealer picks a daughter-in-law, if the lord can do work, the temper is not graceful, and he does not pay much attention to the life. The Mei family is too poor and has no marriage, and Sister Qiu's absence of a father and a mother is the factor that can be picky.
