Chapter Thirty-Six: Impact
Carambola was in a good mood today, and went to a neighboring village to not only cure the patient's stubborn disease, but also inadvertently learned the address of the white housekeeper of Xiao Mansion.
The Xiao family is one of the largest families in the vicinity, and there are more than 40 people in the house, and if it becomes a pickle business, the income will be stable.
Star fruit livened up his heart, and first inquired about the situation of the white housekeeper: he usually didn't live in the village, and only came back every five days to see his old mother. Counting the time, Ming'er, a white housekeeper, should come back.
After hearing this, the star fruit was happy and nervous, and hurriedly rushed home: "I have to prepare the pickles, and I have to think of something to make the white housekeeper willing to taste it." ”
"I heard that the white housekeeper is good at wine, and his favorite is roe deer meat. Is there a way to make pickles smell like roe deer meat? ”
She was talking to herself while racking her brains to think of a way, and when she pushed open the door ......of the courtyard of her home, her face flushed with excitement: "Mother, what do you say?"
Before she finished asking, she first heard sobs in the house, and then A-Niang sighed and said, "You have thought about it, there is no turning back if you get married." That is called Zhang Cunruo, who is really hard......"
She slowed down for a moment before she continued, "Cui'er, don't be discouraged, let's wait a little longer and find out." You are such a good girl, I don't believe ......"
Yang Cui interrupted her: "In three months, I will be seventeen years old." Mother, do you really believe that I can find a better one? ”
Ye Shi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "I have to give it a try!" That Zhang Cun has no father, and there is no family protection, if you meet a good guy, but you don't even have someone who can support you. ”
Carambola finally understood the idea, she pushed the door in, looked at her mother and said, "Someone came to say kiss to my sister?" ”
Ye Shi told the matter, and then looked at the star fruit with expectation: "You persuade her, why did you give up on yourself so much when something happened?" ”
"It's not self-defeating!" Yang Cui smiled weakly and sighed slowly: "It's just that I saw the facts!" Our family can be regarded as poor and ruined, but if Chunxiao marries a wife, is our family willing to marry a woman who has been divorced and has a bad reputation? ”
Would you like to? Unwillingly!
Ye Shi sat back on the pestle on the table, and looked at Yang Cui who wanted to speak and stopped, unable to say a word.
Listening to the star fruit, she also felt panicked in her heart. Zhang Cun is good to Sister A, but he is hard to defeat people, he is hard to defeat people! If Sister Ah really has a good relationship with him, then ......
"Sister, let's not get married, okay? None of us will get married, and our family will live a good life. ”
She ran over and grabbed Yang Cui's hand, looked into her eyes with a smile and said, "Remember what I said about serving pickles to big families, right?" I've found a way, and I'm sure I'll be able to do it. When it's done, you don't have to go to the market to entangle with others, and our family's money will be settled.
Yes, I also went to the doctor, and I earned 900 copper plates this month. Our family will definitely get better and better, we can afford to support you, and we don't need you to get married. ”
Yang Cui reached out and rubbed the carambola's hair, and said with a smile: "Silly girl! ”
Carambola turned her head to look at her mother: "Mother, am I wrong?" Do girls have to get married? ”
A girl is not in the cabinet at the age of twenty, and even if she is engaged, she is criticized, and that is not much more unpleasant than a bad reputation. Yang Cui had already had something like that, if she did it again, would she be able to stand it?
"If she doesn't have a family, who will give her a pension in the future? If she doesn't have a family, where are the bones buried behind her? If you think these are still far away, what about the coercion of the people? Since ancient times, the only way to be a sister-in-law is to be a sister-in-law if you don't get married. If the people make a fuss......"
Yang Cui laughed again and muttered, "So Zhang Cun is my good match, and he is better than anything else." ”
Gram people, if placed in uncivilized remote areas, will be burned to death; Even in Kyoto, where the ideology is the most advanced and orthodox, the Ke people are also very unlucky, and no one is willing to approach him.
But Sister said that it was his beloved!
Ye Shi was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed: "Since you have chosen yourself, then let it be you." I just hope you don't regret it in the future. ”
Later, star fruit didn't have the heart to take care of pickles, and he didn't go to the white manager on time.
The Zhang family soon invited a matchmaker to come over to say goodbye, and it didn't take long for them to come over and hand over Xiaoding, and by the way, the time for the dowry was also set: five days later!
Star fruit was a little surprised: "Why are you in such a hurry?" From the kiss to the dowry, it was less than a month. ”
"Maybe the Zhang family is in a hurry!" Ye sorted out the cloth sent by the Zhang family, and said with a sigh: "Zhang Cun is also eighteen, and he is in a hurry." ”
"But after being hired, it is a marriage, which is too hasty. Not to mention anything else, the dowry has to be purchased, the wedding dress has to be embroidered in a time-consuming manner, and the wedding date is set so tightly, where can you be busy? ”
Ye Shi sighed again, and said with a forced smile: "Zhang Cun's reputation has not yet spread here, as long as the marriage is not done, it will not alarm the people in his hometown." We think that if we simply hold a ceremony and not involve the past, your sister will be better off in the future, right? ”
"What does this mean, the man doesn't make wine anymore?"
"I was kicked out of the house before I was one year old, and there was only an old lady in the family, who could I invite to make wine? The scene was so big that the neighbors in the past recognized him, and who dared to associate with him around him? ”
Carambola lowered her head and bit her lip, she felt that Sister Ah was too aggrieved, too aggrieved!
On the day of marriage, the Yang family was lively, but the in-laws' side was deserted. The team that came to greet the relatives was sparse, and the sons who carried the dowry were strong men hired for money. There is no banquet, and the bridegroom does not need to come out to toast after worshipping heaven and earth.
The star fruit that has been sending my sister to my mother-in-law's house is crying silently, her sister, her sister who is miserable......
Ye Shi hugged the star fruit tightly in his arms, rubbed her hair vigorously and said, "Since you know that you feel sorry for your sister, you should think more about doing things by yourself." She's just been designed to come this far, if you and that Joan really get caught something, how will you live in the future? ”
"Taotao, my mother has already folded one into Cui'er and your two daughters, and my mother can't bear to fold another one."
Star fruit rested her head on her mother's shoulder and looked up at the stars. How bright the stars were, like Joan's eyes smiling at her.
"Joan and I are in love, stop being polite, who dares to chew the root of the tongue? It's our countryside, and there are a lot of boys and girls who go to the ground, so I can't come to ruin my name just because I and Joan are walking together, right? ”
"Can you and Joan be that simple?" Ye Shi looked in the direction of Yang Cui's marriage again, and his voice was choked: "Tao'er, you can't be so selfish, you can't just ignore me and your father just for your own liking." What do we do if you end up dishonoring? You and Cui'er are going to suffer, how can your father and I live? ”
"Tao'er, look at your sister, what did she do wrong? What did she do wrong? ”
Carambola persuaded her mother: "Mother, don't be in a hurry to be sad, my brother-in-law may not be able to restrain my sister even if her life is hard, isn't Aunt Zhang good all these years?" Sister is actually right, it is her blessing that her brother-in-law is willing to love her, there are many people who marry well in this world, and how many people are happy? ”
That day, star fruit looked at the stars all night, as if she saw Joan's smiling eyes.
Joan, we have to be good, we have to be good.
Early the next morning, Yang Chunxiao came out with swollen eyes like walnuts, and looked at the star fruit in a daze for a long time.
Star fruit was uncomfortable, and hit him on the head with chopsticks: "What do you see?" After eating, I went to the private school. ”
Yang Chunxiao tugged at the corner of her sister's clothes and led her to a secluded place before she said gloomily: "Sister, you and the second brother might as well forget it." The second brother is very good, but Qiao's family ......"
He didn't say any more, but he looked at the star fruit with a sad face: "Sister, can I repay the second brother's kindness twice as much in the future?" I have only two sisters, you are a sister! ”
Star fruit knocked on the door of his head with a chestnut, and scolded with a smile: "Have you mastered all your homework?" Is the article impeccably done? Are you ready for next year's children's exam? ”
Three questions in a row failed to confuse Yang Chunxiao, he looked at his sister seriously, and his expression gradually became firm: "I won't help you anymore, if you secretly come to the private school to find Qiao An again, I will definitely tell A-Niang." Sister, I'm not laughing! ”
This kid must have been frightened by what happened to Yang Cui.
But she is not Yang Cui, and Qiao An will not be Li Xiaozhuang!
She looked at Li Xiaozhuang with serious eyebrows and asked him, "You said that if one day I also lose my reputation, what will happen to Qiao An?" What do you think will happen to him if one day he delays his future because of me? ”
Yang Chunxiao thought about it for a moment, his eyebrows loosened for a moment, but he quickly wrinkled again: "People are the second sister who can change, don't you know how affectionate Li Xiaozhuang was to the eldest sister before?" But the result? That Zhang Cun...... That scene ......"
"Sister, have you ever seen the wedding of your mother-in-law as the master of ceremonies, have you seen the chapel where no one watches the ceremony, and have you ever seen a lonely cave room with only a pair of red candles? How aggrieved the eldest sister is, eldest sister, she ......"
"She's going to be fine, she's going to be fine!"
Star fruit interrupted him sternly: "People can live without a little setbacks in their lives, how can they live a good life when they are afraid, cowardly, and cowardly when they encounter something?"
What happened to the eldest sister? Isn't it just that the brother-in-law's life is harder and the wedding is simpler? Does it get in the way? Does it prevent her from living happily? Her brother-in-law is willing to protect her and spoil her, and her mother-in-law is willing to allow her to protect her, which is she worse than others? ”
Yang Chunxiao felt that his sister was wrong, but he couldn't think of words to refute it, so he puffed out his cheeks and stomped his feet away: "I can't say anything about you, but I will help A-Niang take care of you." Sister, don't you want to go to see Qiao Ann secretly. ”
Looking at Yang Chunxiao's back, the star fruit was in a complicated mood, and Ye's was also in a complicated mood.
After seeing the fate of her eldest daughter, she felt that she should forget the promise she made to Qiao An and hurry up to arrange a wishful marriage for star fruit.
When you are young, how deep can you be emotionally entangled, and when you get married and become your own father and mother, your heart will be accepted, and your life will be happy.
Even if Tao Tao is resentful now, she should understand in the future! It's just a Joan, and she really can't match her flesh and blood?
