Chapter 188: Second Marriage and Dowry
Brother Hang's mother burned the paper for Zhao Dadiao very calmly, and she didn't shed a single drop of tears, probably because it should have been done a long time ago.
"Third sister-in-law, if Brother Hang is disobedient, you will beat him, don't be reluctant to start. If the child doesn't hit the adult, it's fine. Brother Hang's mother said this, but she was still reluctant in her heart, but she still forcibly said what she wanted to say.
"Brother Hang is very good, you don't need to fight, he is very well-behaved, obedient and smart. You don't have to worry, it's okay, I'll take care of him like my own child. Don't worry, if he really did something wrong, I will still fight. That's right, Brother Hang. Huang Dou patted Brother Hang'er's little head, but he still refused to be close to his mother.
"Thank you third sister-in-law, I'm stupid and can't speak, I know it in my heart." Brother Hang'er's mother glanced at Brother Hang'er again and again, and her son was happy and sad that Huang Dou was close to her.
The two of them burned the paper, stood in front of Zhao Dadiao's grave for a while, and went down the mountain together.
At the foot of the mountain, Brother Hang's mother bowed down to greet Aunt Zhao and Huang Dou, ready to say goodbye. Huang Dou held her up and stuffed a purse in her hand: "This is what Brother Hang and I did together." Here you go, leave a thought. ”
Brother Hang's mother pinched it in her hand, and there was nothing hard, so she accepted it with confidence. took out a cloth bag she was carrying and handed it to Huang Dou, which contained two pairs of shoes she had taken time to collect, a set of summer clothes and pants, and a set of spring and autumn clothes.
The soybeans were accepted, and when she saw her walking away along the ridge alone, she seemed to be bowing her head and wiping her tears, and her heart was very sour. In the end, Brother Hang didn't let her hug her, and called her mother. Whoever changes it will not feel good!
"Let's go, go back, don't look at it." Zhao Dashan walked over, picked up Brother Hang, and walked towards Zhaozhuang with Huang Dou.
From a distance, Brother Hang'er turned her head to look at Zhao Dashan holding Brother Hang'er, and Huang Dou walking aside.
Surrounded by greenery, they are reflected in the mountain villa in the distance, just like a family.
Brother Hang's mother knelt on the ground with a "plop", and snorted three times at the distant figure before standing up.
She was still holding a purse made by Soybeans and Brother Hang together, and there was a silver ticket of one hundred taels in it. Brother Hang's mother didn't know how to read, but she knew that it should be a lot of money, so she trembled and stuffed it into her purse.
She was reluctant to use this money, she wanted to leave it to Brother Hang. She can't just let people raise her children and give her back money.
On August 16, Brother Hang's mother remarried.
On this day, the farm yard was not as lively as imagined. After all, both parties are married for the second time, and the other party still has the heart to borrow a donkey cart to pick up the elder brother.
Brother Hang'er's grandmother brought out three bowls of poached eggs in sugar water, one bowl for the new son-in-law, one bowl for the neighbor's uncle who was driving the car, and the other bowl was brought into the house to the girl who was wearing new clothes.
After eating this bowl of poached eggs in sugar water, the girl is leaving. This new dress was made for her by her sister-in-law. When the girl came back, the Zhao family gave ten taels of silver, the daughter gave the eldest brother five taels, gave the mother Lao Tzu two taels, and kept three taels on her body.
Brother Hang's aunt is not that mean person, she took the sister-in-law's silver money, and made her a wedding dress, which cost more than 20 yuan. also gave her a new quilt, which is also considered to be a good idea.
After eating the eggs, the new son-in-law and the neighbor are about to leave with their daughter. Brother Hang'er's grandmother hurriedly combed her daughter's hair, took her daughter's hand, and her lips trembled.
She didn't know what to advise, what to say, what to tell, when her daughter married the Zhao family, she had already told her.
He squeezed his daughter's hand and helped her out. The honest new son-in-law was standing at the door, and today was his wedding day. Although it was a second marriage, he still wore unpatched clothes exquisitely.
The clothes are okay, but the pants are a little short and fall on the top of the feet and necks. Obviously not fit, it should be borrowed from someone else.
Looking at his restrained appearance, Brother Hang'er's mother softened a little in her heart, and she was also an honest person, she was married for the second time after all, and she couldn't be too picky.
Others are still good, but the family is poor.
A couple just went out, and the gate of the courtyard outside the door was knocked.
The person who came was Sun Wu, and when he entered the door, he arched his hand and said that he would give his mother a dowry for Brother Hang'er.
A two-year-old green cow with a tooth mouth, and two mahogany boxes on a cart. In one box were six horses of cloth and a clear mosquito net. In one box were six packets of dim sum fruits, and 2,000 copper coins pressed at the bottom of the box.
There is also a green satin quilt, which happens to be a pair with a red cotton quilt from my sister-in-law.
This dowry is too expensive, not only expensive but also heartfelt.
Brother Hang'er looked at Sun Wu with trembling lips, she had seen him and knew that he was a servant of Zhao Dashan's family.
She didn't expect that Zhao Dashan and Huang Dou also prepared a dowry for her.
She deserves this dowry.
"This ......"
"Madame said, as long as you live well, Brother Hang can live better. When you grow up, you won't resent yourself for not taking care of your own mother, and you will have fine clothes and food. Sun Wu clenched his fists and made Huang Dou's words clear.
A tear fell from her still young and bright tear and fell on the dirt, followed by a second and a third.
If she wants to live well, Brother Hang'er will be better.
Because Brother Hang is doing well, she can't wronged herself as a mother, otherwise Brother Hang is not filial.
"Thank you for me, sister-in-law." Brother Hang's mother wiped her tears and smiled with tears.
"Madam also said that this is your dowry, you have so much dowry, and if you don't live well, you are not worthy of being Brother Hang'er's mother."
Sun Wu still told the truth.
"Okay." Brother Hang'er bowed in a proper manner, walked past the stunned groom, and got into the donkey cart.
"This ...... This ...... "The groom official looked at his new daughter-in-law, and then looked at Sun Wu moving boxes to the car.
In the end, it wasn't until Sun Wu put the cow rope in his hand that he came to his senses, blushed, and hurriedly handed the cow rope back.
"I can't take it, this is too precious. Leave it to the children, we have little land at home, and we don't need it. ”
"Yes, Madame also bought twenty acres of land from your side for your sister as a dowry. Madame said, you will be her sister in the future, pass by the villa, remember to go and see her. As he spoke, Sun Wu took out a few land deeds and handed them to Brother Hang's mother sitting on the donkey cart.
Twenty acres of land, a cow, marry a wife and become a rich family directly. The old man on the side looked at the groom officer enviously, what kind of shit luck did this go.
The groom was dizzy and took his bride home, and as he walked, he thought about how I should be good to my daughter-in-law. Such a good daughter-in-law, my Tian Laosan only married her after burning high incense.
Brother Hang's mother, pinching the title deed in her hand, looked at the cow led by the groom, and looked at the two mahogany boxes on the donkey cart.
At this moment, it is the golden autumn season, the rice is fragrant, and the time for harvest has arrived.
