Chapter 4: Tangled
After three years of famine, Feng Huaying had long forgotten about this stubble, and thought it was too early to get married, after all, she was still young, and she was only nineteen!
No, she is only eighteen, and she is eighteen years old this year, so how can she not be classified as an old girl in a good year!
The leftover girl is a single woman of twenty-seven or eight, so she should have eight or nine years of free time!
However, the reality caught her off guard, her mother, her sister-in-law, her grandmother, and the male compatriots of the whole family all raised their hands and agreed to pack her up and marry her!
Feng Huaying couldn't be more sad, no one wanted to keep her?
In her previous life, she didn't have any expectations for marriage, and even some rejection, and it was very nourishing to live alone, so why should she find someone to make herself unhappy.
In addition to being equal to one, one plus one is greater than one, there is another possibility, less than one!
Since having one more person will make his happiness impaired, how could Feng Huaying be stupid!
In the past, it was good to say that society was relatively enlightened, but now it is not.
Even these few people in the family can't say that no one in the family is happy until the grain arrives these days, and everyone's head is shrouded in dark clouds because of her marriage.
After dinner yesterday evening, she worked as a carpenter in her house, and she had a horse, and of course a carriage, so she had to make the most of it.
Of course, she has another layer of thoughts, avoiding the forced marriage of her family, and she doesn't want to face this head-scratching topic.
As a result, when she went out to release water halfway, she found that it was already dark, and then she accidentally heard the conversation between her sister-in-law and her mother.
She has a lot of family and a lot of rooms, her grandparents live in the main house, and they have two younger brothers to the west, and then her, she lives in the westernmost place, separated by a kitchen, and her parents live on the east side of her grandparents, and then there are the eldest brother and the second brother.
Her room was a little far away from her parents, and she couldn't usually hear them talking, but she didn't expect to hear them talking about her so coincidentally when she went to the toilet.
Thinking that the family had been very unhappy because of her affairs in the past two days, Feng Huaying quietly hid in the shadows, wanting to hear what they had to say.
"Mother, it's not me who said, you are just too good at talking, marriage has been the words of the matchmaker since ancient times, how can there be a girl's own decision, you really gave her a match, can she really not look at it?" Ding Hongfang in the room said sincerely.
Feng Huaying's face suddenly sank, and she really guessed it!
The words in the house continued, only to hear her mother say: "Hey, isn't it time to pay attention to love and affection, free love, I can't force the cow's head to drink water, the twisted melon is not sweet." ”
Doesn't Feng's mother want to marry her daughter? She's always wanted it!
From three years ago, when the famine had not started, she wanted to marry her daughter, but then the famine began, and the old and young of the family were about to survive, and all the money was used to buy rice and grain, and the family was emptied and did not buy much, and at this time the girl stood up and went hunting in the mountains, which eased the situation.
She knew that the mountains were dangerous, and she didn't want a girl to support the whole family, and the men in the family went, but every time she went to the mountains, they couldn't cope with those hungry beasts at all, and one of them would die if they weren't careful.
It's not that they don't dare to rush, but they have been hungry for too long and don't have enough strength, and they can't compare with Feng Huaying's infinite strength, and in the end, they can only fight.
In this case, she is relieved and worried, can her daughter still get married?
After the period of marrying apricots, it is especially difficult for a woman to find a good in-law, what if something happens in the middle and hurts her face?
can look at the yellow and thin faces at home, and can only grieve the daughter.
Because of this, she and her father became more and more tolerant of their little girl, and they couldn't bear to force her to do anything.
But now that the famine is about to end, it is urgent to find a partner for Hua Ying, as her mother-in-law said, it is best to succeed before twenty.
But I didn't expect that after so many years, Hua Ying was still unhurried about getting married, and she was not in a hurry at all.
In the past few days, she feels more tired than in the past two years, and her hair is about to turn gray.
But can she really force her to marry despite her little girl's wishes?
Definitely not, it's not voluntary, how can you be happy, you have to be angry!
"What are you willing or not, isn't that what marriage is all about, a man and a woman live together, as long as the life is good, why are you so poor and exquisite, Hua Zu and I were not like this at the beginning, and we are not the same and beautiful?" Ding Hongfang seemed to have heard something terrible.
"If you want me to say that my maiden brother is good, it's just right to match my second sister." Ding Hongfang's eyes rolled and urged: "If I can, I'll call him over tomorrow to see each other?" ”
In that case, I can't wait to settle down for Feng Huaying immediately.
"Besides, I'll talk about her first, maybe she'll figure it out in two days." Mother Feng glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law, how did she say this person, it was her brother, what was the matter with her sister-in-law!
Ding Hongfang, who was glared at fiercely by her mother-in-law, pursed her lips and didn't expect to succeed once.
There were three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting on the kang in the house, and Li Xiaohua interjected at this time, "Mother, I think it is impossible to wait for the second sister to figure it out without a few years, but it will be really late by then, it is better for us to hide from her and take her directly to see each other, and then she just doesn't want to go and can't do it." ”
When Li Xiaohua said this, she still had a gentle smile on her face, and she couldn't tell that she was calculating people's treacherous appearance, which made Feng Huaying, who was moved by her mother's motherly heart outside, immediately darkened her face, it was really black!
In the first two years, the two sisters-in-law were dissatisfied with her girl's study, and what was a waste of their future family property was wasted, but they only complained in private, and Feng Huaying didn't know about it, after all, they were still good to the two brothers, and it was nothing for them to be a little cautious.
But this is an incident, just because of a horse, they don't like her like this, and they can't wait to throw her out, and the meat for these two years has been fed to the dogs?!
She got that horse by her own ability, so what right do they have to be angry!
Her mother loved her because she was afraid that she would miss the best years, but the two sisters-in-law didn't think so.
I didn't expect that in order to let her get married, she would come up with such a bad idea!
Her chest rose and fell, and the two days of depression made her hate to go in and announce to the two sisters-in-law, "What's wrong with the old lady just not getting married!" ”
Before she could make a move, she heard her mother in the room hesitate: "This ......"
Obviously, her mother was a little moved, and Feng Huaying, who was puffing up, was suddenly as deflated as a poked prayer.
Li Xiaofang looked at her mother-in-law's intentions, and hurriedly said: "My second brother and I don't mind raising the second sister, but the second sister is always not a matter alone, my second brother and I still have children to take care of, there are always times when I can't scruple about it, and the most afraid thing is that when the second sister wants to find it, the good ones are picked away, and only some crooked melons and cracked dates are left." ”
"That is, who is too late to get married now, everyone is sixteen, seventeen, or eight, and they are all old girls before they are nineteen, and in a few days, those who are the same age and have not yet married can still have a good one?" Ding Hongfang felt that the entry point of the second brother and sister was very good.
Feng Huaying gritted her teeth, you are the old girl, your whole family is the old girl, my aunt and grandmother are in their prime, and it is the time of a flower!
"Even if there is a good one, it is also a second marriage, does the second sister still want to be a stepmother?" Ding Hongfang just looked at her mother-in-law like that, she didn't believe that her mother-in-law could have no ideas.
I don't know what hurts about a girl!
Except, of course, her own daughters.
Feng Huaying wanted to say, why do you have to find a man, I live well by myself.
"Mother, what my sister-in-law said is very right, the second sister is still young, and what she thinks about is not so long-term, we, as her elders, have to think about it for her." Li Xiaohua said.
"I see." Mother Feng was confused by the two daughters-in-law, and added after a while, "Which of you are the ones to tell me tomorrow, I'll take a look first." ”
Hearing the sound of rustling, Feng Huaying knew that they were finished, and she was afraid that they would find her, so she hurried to her room.
"Mother, then you can rest." Li Xiaohua said.
"Mother, that's right." Ding Hongfang's voice went up, as if she was afraid that her mother-in-law would regret it again after a night, so she said one more sentence, "It's not for anything else, the two little uncles are almost at the age of saying goodbye, the house at home is no longer enough, and there are a few small ones below Yuqiang, so you have to think about it early." ”
Feng Huaying left for a moment, then quickened her pace, and after passing her grandparents, she heard her grandmother speak: "Huaying should also get married......
She didn't listen carefully to what they said later, the whole person spread out on the kang, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night, thinking about those words over and over in her head, what the hell should she do, just get married, find a suitable man to marry?
She couldn't bear the thought of deciding to marry a stranger without seeing her a few times, but thinking about her mother's words and the words of her two sisters-in-law, it seemed that she should get married.
The two thoughts kept confronting each other in her head, and the night was tormented like this, until it was almost dawn, and when the family got up, she didn't want to face the family, and ran out on horseback while they didn't get up.
Maybe after relaxing, she can think of what to do.
