Chapter 18: Discouragement

"Xiao Xia is too willful, which family's children are not the words of the matchmaker who are ordered by their parents, and they can't mess around if they are already married, and they also alarmed the whole village, lying and deceiving people. It's been a waste of your grandmother's hard work. ”

When Mrs. Jia heard the old man's words, she wiped her tears, looking like a kind grandmother who was hurt by her granddaughter.

"The landlord Li in Pingtou Village has 100 acres of fertile land, and people in our village have also heard of it. Marrying into such a good family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing......"

"Xiao Xia ......" saw a thin figure running in in a panic, and hugged her when he saw Xiao Xia standing on the side.

Xiao Xia saw that her mother finally came, and her heart was put in her stomach.

Mrs. Jia's words were interrupted by Xiao Wang, who suddenly rushed in, she didn't expect her to come back so soon, and she was a little nervous, after all, she sold her daughter without permission, but thinking about the twenty taels of silver locked in her cabinet, she felt that this matter must not be yellow.

"The second daughter-in-law, my mother is also for Xiao Xia's good, I am the master and hired Xiao Xia to the son of the Li landlord in Pingtou Village, his family has 100 acres of fertile land, and there is a maid to serve him when he marries. Such a good family affair was originally Xiaohui's, but thinking that Xiaoxia's leg was lame, there would be good people who would want her in the future, so they gave her this opportunity, anyway, everyone in ten miles and eight villages knew that our Xiaohui was beautiful and couldn't get married. Xiao Xia is not grateful for my hard work as a grandmother, but blames me, my heart...... "Talking and playing is the same as singing a big opera, and crying is very rhythmic."

Xiao Wang's family was indeed called back by Shen Zisheng's arrangement, because he took the ox cart and returned to the village soon. When she heard that Xiao Xia was almost abducted and abducted, she almost fainted and came back with a strong force. Seeing that my daughter was finally relieved, looking at her embarrassed appearance, I felt pain in my heart, why is this girl so troubled? But as soon as she heard Mrs. Jia's words, she was confused, wasn't Xiao Xia almost abducted and abducted? Why did you mention Xiao Xia's marriage again, she is only eight years old, and it is a bit early to talk about marriage now.

When the people in the village saw Xiao Xia's grandparents say this, then Xiao Xia must be lying, and they feel that they have been deceived by a little girl, how can they not be angry, and besides, it is not a good thing for an eight-year-old girl to learn to deceive people in the future.

"I deceived people at a young age, and I will pay it back later." The one who spoke was a black and fat mother-in-law, who was notoriously unreasonable in the village, and everyone called her black blind behind her back. Seeing money, I like to be greedy and cheap. When she saw someone's family doing well, she was not happy. When she heard that Xiao Xia's grandmother had married her to a landlord's family, she immediately became jealous.

"Mrs. Jia is really well-intentioned!"

"I actually gave my daughter's good family affairs to my lame granddaughter, I am blessed to have such a grandmother!"

"It's just that this girl is ignorant."

The men and women surrounding the ancestral hall praised Mrs. Jia for her kindness, while accusing Xiao Xia of being ignorant. The corners of Mrs. Jia's mouth couldn't help but rise, but fortunately she held back.

Xiao Xia saw that her mother was finally here, and she also had confidence, because she knew that her mother loved them. How can you allow others to orchestrate yourself.

"Mother, you and your father are not at home, and a stranger with a fierce face came to the house and tied me directly to the carriage, I was really frightened." Talking about hugging his mother, he cried aggrievedly.

The people in the village listened to Xiao Xia's sad cry and saw her tears of grievance. I thought maybe Xiao Xia was really frightened.

"Mother, what is the marriage that grandma is talking about? Why haven't you told me? I don't know? Do you know this? Xiao Xia looked up at Xiao Wang pitifully, with tears on her face, and her whole little face was crying. And Xiao Wang also looked confused, and turned to look at Mrs. Jia.

The people in the village saw it and understood, it turned out to be Mrs. Jia's private marriage, and even her daughter-in-law Xiao Wang didn't know, and Xiao Xia couldn't even know about it, so Xiao Xia thought that those two people were kidnappers.

Mrs. Jia saw that Xiao Xia changed the attitude of the people in the village with two more sentences, and she was anxious, looking at Mrs. Liu and wanting her to say a few words. Mrs. Liu, who was standing on the side, did not disappoint her.

"Village chief, we and the Shen family have exchanged stickers and paid a dowry. Shen Xiaoxia is already a member of my Li family, and there is nothing wrong with me taking it away. "Mrs. Liu is not brainless, and she got to the point. What are you doing with the inkblots, it's a matter of ironclad.

As soon as the big guy heard it, he understood everything, the Shen family married her daughter without knowing it, and Xiao Xia was taken away without knowing it, thinking that he had met someone and made a fuss. Now it doesn't matter whose fault it is, but Xiao Xia's marriage of an eight-year-old child is a fact, and no one has the right to speak.

Xiao Wang's brain was in chaos at this time. Her daughter is already married, how can she get married when she comes back from a trip? What to do? She couldn't solve so many problems without any idea, so she could only cry bitterly. Xiao Xia also cried, whether it was true or not, she wanted to create a sad atmosphere.

The two women cried heartbreakingly, and the women who were annoyed with the excitement also shed tears.

People always can't help but sympathize when they see the weak, and when they see the little Wang family hugging their heads and crying, they suddenly feel pitiful, and their daughters were married off without knowing it, which is really pitiful.

"Seeing the two of them crying so miserably, it can't be some hidden secret, right?"

"Who knows, I haven't seen Mrs. Jia so good to her second son's family before."

"Hiding from the girl's father and mother married the girl, why doesn't it sound right?"

As soon as Mrs. Jia heard this, she knew that it was bad, and Xiao Xia was not easy to deal with, so she could only attack Xiao Wang's family. I can't let the silver that has already arrived fly away.

"Second daughter-in-law, I'm also good for Xiaoxia! Xiao Xia is young and doesn't understand reason, but you are from the past. Such a good person, if you don't agree, Xiao Xia will also complain about you when she grows up. ”

"Yes! Second sister-in-law, you think, it will be difficult for Xiao Xia to find her in-laws after she is lame, such a good opportunity, you can't mistake Xiao Xia's life because you are reluctant to have a daughter. Xiao Xia went to the Li family to be a young grandmother, and there are maids to serve you, what else are you unhappy about. Zhao bitterly persuaded his mother-in-law.

"The marriage certificate has been changed, and the dowry has been accepted, so you can't agree to it. Crying like a dead daughter, this is to send your Xiaoxia to enjoy happiness. Wang's tone was not good, and he was glared at by Mrs. Jia.

"I didn't tell you in advance, because I didn't have time, it was originally a family affair for Xiaohui, but today I temporarily changed Xiaoxia." Mrs. Jia licked her face for the first time and explained to Xiao Wang, and she also carried her daughter out, and she was definitely uncomfortable. I thought that after solving the problem of Xiao Xia, I would go home and clean up the second room, and all the work at home would be done by Xiao Wang's family in the future.

"Mother, I don't want to get married." Xiao Xia looked at her mother with teary eyes, thinking that she would definitely not agree.

Xiao Wang looked at her second daughter, her heart was more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis, stroking her soft hair, a little fatter than a month ago, she really had enough of this family, but this is a woman's life, no one can escape. Xiao Xia too, this may be her life, mother-in-law They are right, Xiao Xia's leg is lame, it will be difficult to find a good mother-in-law's family in the future, and it is also a crime to stay in the Shen family, it is better to find a generous family to marry, at least you can eat and dress warmly. Besides, the marriage books have been handed in, what else can she do?

"Xiao Xia, you will get married!"

Xiao Xia felt that her ears were broken, and asked again. "Mother, what did you say?"

"Xiao Xia, you will get married! Women have always been like this. ”

Xiao Xia immediately broke away from Xiao Wang's embrace, his whole body was cold, tears flowed unconsciously, and the grievances and pain in his heart couldn't be suppressed, like a collapsing snow-capped mountain, surging violently. Xiao Xia felt that this was not her own feeling, and she was also sad, but after only a month of getting along, her feelings for Xiao Wang's family were definitely not so deep. Could it be Shen Xiaoxia's emotions? It must be, Xiao Wang is a person who will not fight against fate, she will only obey, intellectually she should not complain about her, but emotionally, how can she not complain?

"That's right, Xiao Xia, your mother and I are all for your good. Your mother can still harm you, you are still young and don't know how to do things, and when you grow up, you will understand the hard work of me and your mother. Mrs. Jia smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and her old face turned into a black chrysanthemum.

"Mother, I don't agree." Xiao Xia's tone was resolute, his eyes were firm, and the air around him seemed to be condensed.

"Xiao Xia, you can't be willful this time." Xiao Wang thinks that this is a good thing to make her daughter happy, and she can't rely on her temperament, and her attitude has never been more resolute.

Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Wang's eyes, and the despair in her heart made her feel panicked, could it be that Xiao Xia was also in this body?

"Mother, do you know? The person the second sister is going to marry is a fool! "Xiaochun can't send a letter to look at his mother, how could his mother agree to let the second sister marry a fool? The confrontation between the two was interrupted by Koharu, who finally arrived.

Shen Zhong heard the news that Xiao Xia had been abducted, put down the hoe in his hand and ran home, and when he entered Shen's house, he didn't see anyone, only heard the cries of Xiao Chun and Xiao Qiu who were locked in the house.

When Xiaochun came out, he cried and told Shen Zhong everything. But he doesn't know what he should think, blame his wife? It is unfilial piety to do so. Over the years, he has been working diligently and without a day off. I just thought that I could support my three daughters by working hard, and if I had another son in the future, my parents would understand me.

When he took Xiaochun to the ancestral hall with Xiaoqiu in his arms, looking at Xiaoxia's desperate eyes, it hit his heart and lungs, he knew that his wife and daughter had been living very hard, but he had been trying to make them live better, and when he had a son, everything would be different. He didn't dare to despair, let alone see his daughter's desperate eyes.
