"There may never be offspring in the rest of our lives. Landlord Li is almost seventy years old, and he knows that he does not have a few days to live, so he wants to find a daughter-in-law for his youngest son to take care of him until he is old, and he wants to find a powerful person who is seven or eight years old and can take care of his son until he is old. ”

"A hundred acres of fertile land is also a big business, and marrying is a blessing, which is good."

When Zhao heard Shen Zhi say this, he covered his mouth and smiled contemptuously. continued: "Landlord Li has already had two sons, both of whom have already started a family, and the eldest grandson is older than his stupid son. The two sons were born to his wife. No matter how big the family business is, it can't be inherited by a stupid son born to a concubine. ”

This time Shen Zhi was satisfied, nodded, and said hypocritically: "Even so, it is also a family that does not worry about food and clothing, Xiao Xia will not suffer in the past, you go and mention it to your mother." ”

Zhao smirked. "My mother will definitely agree, then Landlord Li promised to give a dowry of twenty taels!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the main house without stopping.

In the main room, Mrs. Jia was crooked on the kang and eating melon seeds, and Shen Hui was sitting on the side embroidering purses. Zhao giggled twice as soon as he entered the room. "Mother, I can come back with good news."

Shen Hui moved to the side, and Zhao squeezed around and sat next to Mrs. Jia.

Mrs. Jia looked at her with joy, as if she had picked up money, a little curious, and sat up. "What a good thing, it's up to you to be happy."

"Mother, I'm going to become a great hero of the Shen family."

When Mrs. Jia heard this, she looked at Zhao's belly, could it be that she was pregnant? That's a good thing. "Do you have a body?"

When Zhao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed. He whispered, "No." ”

The old lady rolled her eyes and lay crookedly on the kang again. "What's so good about that?"

"I gave Xiao Xia a good family affair, and the dowry alone is twenty taels of silver!" The Zhao family doesn't sell Guanzi anymore. It is also her heart disease that she has been married to Shen Zhi for two years and has not had a baby, in fact, she is more anxious than anyone else.

When the old lady heard this, she immediately came to her senses, and Shen Hui, who was sitting on the side, also put down the needle and thread in her hand, but she was not happy in her heart, obviously the eldest girl in the family was herself, how could she talk about Shen Xiaoxia's marriage first.

"Did you really promise a dowry of twenty taels?" Recently, Mrs. Jia is distressed about the silver used by the family, Shen Nengwen paid six taels of silver for a year, and the daily expenses do not need to be paid at home, but the boss will not pay for the bus at home this year, why don't you make her feel distressed? When I heard that there were twenty taels of silver, where could I not be tempted, marrying a girl in the village, that is, the dowry of a full-fledged girl is at most ten taels, this is twenty taels, just a lame girl for twenty taels is definitely earned.

"Isn't it? He is the youngest son of the Li landlord in Pingtou Village, and in the fifteenth year of this year, his family has 100 acres of fertile land, and he must not be wrong. ”

When Mrs. Jia heard the other party's family background, she glanced at Zhao. "Can there be such a good thing?"

Shen Hui also stretched out her ears and listened, the other party's conditions are too good, next year will be similar to me, why don't you propose to me? The freshly embroidered purse in her hand was all broken by her.

"It's still a shrewd mother, that little son of Landlord Li is a fool."

When the old lady heard this, it turned out that this was the case. But in his heart, he wondered if this family business could be done.

When Shen Hui heard that he was a fool, he immediately felt comfortable, and the fool and the cripple were very compatible.

"The second family will not agree." The old lady thought that she could get twenty taels of silver, and she could get the girl she hated away, so she was very happy, but now the second room is becoming more and more difficult to control.

"Mother. That's twenty taels of silver! "Zhao is in a hurry, he has already agreed to this family business, if the old lady does not agree, she is busy and does not say anything, Shen Zhi will definitely clean up his own.

"Mother, I think the family business that my sister-in-law said is quite good. The other party's family is a landlord, although he is a fool, but isn't Xiao Xia also a cripple? How could a good man's boy find a lame man to be his daughter-in-law? "Shen Hui also hates Xiao Xia to death now, and it is best to let the pigs and dogs who live in the rest of her life not be as good as herself to be at ease.

"The second one?" Although Mrs. Jia doesn't like the second family, Shen Zhong is her son after all, and she still cares about him to some extent, if Shen Zhong doesn't agree, she can't be a mother.

"Mother, the second brother is busy at home every day, so find an opportunity to take the second sister-in-law away. Marry Xiao Xia directly, they can't regret it if they want to, besides, we are also good for Xiao Xia, just her temper may not be able to marry for the rest of her life, and it will not affect the second brother and sister-in-law at that time. Shen Hui tried her best to persuade.

"Yes, yes, what my sister-in-law said is so right, we are also for the good of Xiao Xia. Afterwards, the second brother, they found out, maybe they would be grateful to us! ”

Mrs. Jia felt that this method was feasible, so the three of them began to murmur quietly.

At dinner, Mrs. Jia announced to the whole family at the dinner table that she planned to buy two pigs this year, and she happened to hear that the sow raised by the Wang butcher in the next village had a litter of piglets, and planned to catch two piglets.

"Xiao Wang, you are the best at raising pigs at home, you go the day after tomorrow and pick two piglets to come back." Today, Mrs. Jia's attitude is exceptionally good, and Xiao Wang is simply flattered.

"Mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to choose well." Xiao Wang's finch opened his mouth, but his eyes were full of expectation.

"In the past, you also raised the pigs at home, and you raised them well, so you can go and see them this year, and you will definitely be able to choose two strong piglets to come back, so it's decided." Mrs. Jia didn't give Xiao Wang a chance to speak, so she settled down. Xiao Wang's didn't eat another meal.

Xiao Xia was paying attention to the old lady's abnormal behavior while gnawing on the head of the nest, a little worried about Xiao Wang's family.

"Mother, I'll go with you the day after tomorrow!" Xiao Xia opened her mouth tentatively.

"What kind of mess are you going to do, stay at home honestly, and get wilder and wilder." The old lady hurriedly reprimanded.

"But I'm worried that my mother will go out alone......"

Before Xiao Xia finished speaking, Mrs. Jia interrupted. "Two other families in the village also went and hired the village ox carts. Don't mess with it. ”

Although Xiao Xia felt that something was wrong, she didn't understand it for a while, since there were people in the village who went, then her mother should be safe.

The next day, Zhao went out happily with Xiao Xia's wedding sticker, and Xiao Xia was still making her own clothes, she could wear it tomorrow with her hands quickly, and finally she didn't have to wear it like a beggar, Xiao Wang had already helped her embroider small chrysanthemums on the cuffs and trouser legs. Xiaochun's is almost ready, she struggled for a long time and didn't know what flowers to repair, and finally listened to Xiaoxia's suggestion and embroidered a red morning glory on the placket. Xiaoqiu's has been done, wearing a red jacket, embroidered with two pink peony flowers, the little guy likes it very much, and now he is wearing it on his body, walking around on the kang, not idle for a moment, and never more lively. The mother and daughter looked at it and smiled, this pleasant atmosphere made Xiao Xia forget the uneasiness in her heart.
