Chapter 167: The Affair of Du Aruo's Family
Li Guo'er tilted her head, thoughtful, and after a long time, she looked at Du Aruo with a smile.
"How so? It's too late for the fifth uncle and five aunts to like you, how can they dislike you.
As for your grandfather doing this, I think there must be his intentions, maybe your grandfather left some land and money when he entrusted your mother to the village chief Du, and now you, as your mother's only child, have grown up and married, and the things left by this mother are naturally for you......"
After thinking about it, Li Guoer felt that such a statement might be more reliable and closer to what Village Chief Du did, so he smiled and said it to Du Aruo.
For the sake of a granddaughter, Village Chief Du gave his eldest son two acres of land, worth more than ten taels, except for feeling sorry for this granddaughter, only she thought of this.
Perhaps Du Aruo's maternal grandfather, when he was orphaned, did give the Du family some money......
If this is not the case, then how could the other sons of Village Chief Du not make trouble? After all, it's an acre of land.
Or is it that the other sons of Village Chief Du are all sensible and love this niece, but this statement doesn't make sense!
Du Aruo fell into deep thought, thinking that maybe this was really the case, otherwise her father and stepmother came to the door last night, why did she happily cut off the relationship with her after saying those words behind closed doors with her grandfather, and left with the title deed of one acre of land?
A few days early in the morning, a few uncles came to the door when they heard the news, and after saying a few words in their grandfather's room, they left in disgrace.
Du Aruo muttered: "Maybe it's really the case, I heard my grandmother say last night that my grandfather was a capable man, and when he was young, he earned a lot of family business.
Originally, my grandfather had a son, I had an uncle, but when I was young, unfortunately lost, my grandfather spent a lot of effort to find, has not been found, until my mother was born, my grandmother had a difficult birth, my grandfather settled down, a person as both a father and a mother to pull my mother ......"
Speaking of the matter of her maternal grandfather's family, Du Aruo's tone was choked, she had never seen her maternal mother in her memory, and she had never seen her maternal grandfather and her maternal uncle who had been lost since childhood.
Li Guo'er listened, and also sighed, the secret way is to make people!
Mr. and Mrs. Li Mingzhong and Mrs. Meng from Xiahe Village and Mr. and Mrs. Du of Xiaoyang Village negotiated the marriage of Du Aruo and Li Jie, and the two sides set the date of marriage in the middle of the month.
The village chief and his wife did not ask for too many dowries, but only let Li Mingzhong and his wife mean, and let Li Mingzhong and his wife see that they wanted less dowry and treated Du Aruo better.
Li Mingzhong and Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief, while Li Guo'er listened attentively to the conversation on the other side of the main room, but fell into deep thought.
A woman, after getting married, her status in her mother-in-law's family, in addition to her own ability, is the importance of her mother's family, as well as the dowry given by her mother's family.
What if you pay attention to it? Why did you only let the five uncles and five aunts mean it on the matter of the dowry?
The dowry can be as it is for a daughter-in-law in the village, and you can give more in the dowry, and you can use all the dowry as a dowry!
I can't figure it out, I can't figure out what Village Chief Du thinks in his heart, it's just that......
When Li Guoer and her fifth uncle and fifth aunt returned to Xiahe Village, she always felt that Du Aruo's matter was not so simple, why was Village Chief Du willing to use an acre of land to let his eldest son and eldest granddaughter break off the relationship?
There is also the matter of asking them to give a dowry from the fifth room of the Li family......
"Fifth uncle and fifth aunt, how did you discuss it with Village Chief Du?" Li Guo'er whispered to the fifth uncle Li Mingzhong, and the fifth aunt Su Shi asked.
She felt as if she had overlooked something, and she was very curious, always wanting to know why Village Chief Du would do such a thing for a granddaughter?
Why did you say that you would let the five uncles and five aunts look at it on the dowry?
Li Mingzhong was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Village Chief Du said that Ah Ruo's child has a hard life, and it is a good thing to marry early, so the day of marriage is set at the end of the year, which is really too hasty......
"Yes, it's only been more than three months before Layue, and we have to start another house, so it's really a bit of a hurry.
Originally, I and your fifth uncle meant that we were afraid that we would wronged the two children, so we set the date of marriage in March next year, but what the village chief Du said would change later. ”
After Li Mingzhong finished speaking, Su Shi smiled and spoke, she didn't understand in her heart, what does it mean to change later?
Are you worried that by March next year, it will drag on for too long and something will happen halfway through?
Li Guo'er was stunned for a moment, thinking carefully about what Chi Zesheng meant by this sentence, and at this time, Mrs. Meng on the side covered her mouth and said softly: "Mingzhong, Mingzhong's family, let me say a word to the old woman, don't be angry with you husband and wife!" ”
"Aunt Meng, please speak." Li Mingzhong and Su Shi glanced at each other and said with a smile.
Mrs. Meng cleared her throat and said with a smile. "A few days ago, the third daughter-in-law of Bai next door to my house went back to her mother's house Xiaoyang Village, and when she came back, she said to my wife that the village chief Du of Xiaoyang Village has been getting worse and worse in the past six months, and I am afraid that it won't last long......
"The third daughter-in-law of Bai? You mean the widow in the third room of the Bai family? Li Mingzhong and Su Shi looked at each other, while Li Guo'er asked thoughtfully.
There is a Bai San in Xiahe Village, who died of a sudden illness many years ago, leaving five orphans and widows to depend on each other......
Listening to Mrs. Meng's words, do you have some friendship with the third daughter-in-law of the Bai family?
Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment, and responded to Li Guo'er with a smile: "Isn't it the orphan and widow?" Their mother and daughter live next door to my house, and they have a little friendship on weekdays, but Bai San's daughter-in-law has a hard life, and it is not easy to pull four children by herself! ”
It's strange, they are obviously talking about the head of Xiaoyang Village, how can this fruit of the Li family's third room have such an inquiring look when they hear the third daughter-in-law of Bai?
Do you also feel the same as those long-tongued women in the village, thinking that Bai San's daughter-in-law is hard and kills Bai San......
"Oh, Grandma of the Meng family, is this Bai San's aunt often in the east and the west short on weekdays?" Li Guoer affectionately took Mrs. Meng's arm and asked with a smile, with a curious expression.
She got the news that the third aunt of the Bai family pulled four children by herself, worked in the field on weekdays, and her busy feet did not touch the ground, not the one who said right and wrong!
But listening to Mrs. Meng's words today, it seems that she has been deceived by appearances again.....
