Chapter 139: The Test of Country Love
Li Changming saw that she said this directly, and thought that the third aunt really didn't guess wrong. Create a comfortable reading environment
His family is poor and white, and he can't divide the family, but he will split up the family when he gets married, will he be scolded for "marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother"?
He was silent, and before he could think of how to answer, he heard the dog girl say again: "I don't want you to 'marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother'." has been separated, and if you live well, you should be filial to your father and mother. After all these years, your family is still not like this? If you are still so uncalculated, how can I rest assured that I will give you plums? If you two pass alone, we can also help guide you on the side; If you don't separate the family, we won't be able to talk too much about your family. β
Seeing that he didn't speak, Old Friend Qin said angrily: "If you don't agree, forget it." If you don't want to be good yourself, it's hard for others to help. Anyway, if you don't split up, Meizi is not allowed to marry. β
Li Changming raised his head and smiled bitterly: "My family is very poor, and I don't have anything to think about separating the family, I'm just a little worried that my father and mother will be sad." No matter what they say, they are all my parents. If I leave my father and mother aside in order to marry my daughter-in-law, my heart will not be at ease. But I also understood what my aunt said, and I couldn't say anything else until my life was good; Otherwise, the poor will die, what is the use of staying together? I went home and discussed with my father and mother, and then found a matchmaker to propose marriage. β
The dog girl nodded appreciatively: "That's it." It stands to reason that I shouldn't have said in front of you that your father and mother are not, but you also know that your father and mother are too calculating, and it is difficult to live a good life. You are separated, you have to fight for breath, and the life is smooth; If you live well, you can help Changliang. Otherwise, everyone will pile up. When is it a head? β
At this time, the old grandmother spoke: "Changming, we ask you so. It's also for you to be good with Meizi. When you live well, you can help your brothers and be filial to your parents. So, when you go home, you have to make it clear to your father. Don't make your family jump for this, we can't be happy, others still think that our Qin family is unreasonable, and people force people to split up before they enter the door. β
Old friend Qin said stupidly: "If your father is not confused, he should agree." However, I see that he is confused a lot. It's still up to you to persuade him. β
Li Changming hurriedly promised: "Grandma Qin, don't worry, I will tell my father well." My father is also ruthless now, and my uncle and aunt also know. "Boss Li is indeed a lot more attentive than usual.
Then they discussed the bride price.
The dog girl waved her hand helplessly and said, "You can do it yourself." We will not covet your bride price. But if you don't do it at all. Others still think that my plum has done something ugly. I want to hurriedly stuff it to you - the look of your house is really not worth it, and I am willing to send my daughter to the door if you don't want to give it to you. β
She secretly thought that if she gave it to the Zheng family's Aoki. Don't even talk about any bride price.
Li Changming was ashamed, blushed and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will not let Meizi suffer this grievance." β
The old grandmother hurriedly said: "It's almost done." If you borrow too much money, you won't have to pay it back in the future? Is it possible to wait for the plum to pass and bear a debt? β
Li Changming nodded in agreement.
This is really embarrassing, and it can't be done without a bride price; I do too much, and I am afraid that my daughter will marry and bear debts.
The doggy lady had never felt so aggrieved, she had a feeling that her anger was nowhere to go. The accumulation in the chest is uncomfortably swollen.
Last night, I hadn't decided to marry Meizi to Li Changming. She ruthlessly counted Boss Li's family, so she didn't feel so uncomfortable; Now, this person is about to become a son-in-law, and he can no longer scold him, isn't this tone just out of the way?
She didn't know that Old Friend Qin was even more aggrieved, and she wanted to give this kid a good look tonight, but thinking that he was about to become her son-in-law, if she said it seriously, wouldn't it make Meizi uncomfortable to hear? She's in the next room.
He couldn't get angry at Li Changming, so he could only sit there and sulk. I remembered that in the spring, the plum was bitten by a snake, and Li Changming held the plum leg and gnawed for a long time, he felt uneasy at that time, and sure enough, he suffered a big loss, and even his daughter was compensated.
So, he scolded the ancestor of that snake for eight generations!
If the snake had heard his heart, he would have said aggrievedly, "If your daughter doesn't step on me, can I bite her?" β
Li Changming saw that they didn't have anything to say, and Old Friend Qin had a gloomy face, and the dog lady was also tired, so he said goodbye with a look in his eyes. 1
After coming out of the Qin family, although he was relieved, he was also full of exhaustion.
Meizi's father and mother didn't embarrass him, but he felt very heavy in his heart - it turned out that he really couldn't afford to marry Meizili.
When it came to the bride price, the dog's helpless expression, he could see it clearly, and his heart was also very uncomfortable.
Even if the Qin family doesn't want a bride price, it is inappropriate, because he is not worthy of being entrusted to his daughter like this; Also, how do you marry Meizi in those three broken houses in your own house?
He felt that the moonlight had dread a lot, and it would rain tomorrow, he thought, and there were faint clouds in the sky.
He didn't want to go home, so he returned to the outside of Li Changxing's courtyard.
The courtyard was pitch black, silent, almost everyone in the village was asleep at this hour, did he want to wake up Changxing? What can Changxing do when he hears it, can he still bother him with his own affairs?
He was in a trance, and a black shadow suddenly stood up at the gate of the courtyard, startling him, but he heard Li Changxing shouting: "Brother Changming! "It turned out that he had been waiting for his cousin.
Li Changming was at ease, he didn't enter the hospital, squatted opposite Li Changxing, and sighed heavily.
Li Changxing grabbed him, dragged him into the room, and said, "Do you want to be heard?" Why are you sighing, the family didn't work out? β
Li Changming shook his headβregardless of whether Li Changxing could see it in the dark nightβand said softly: "It's done, call a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage." β
Li Changxing asked in surprise, "Then what are you sighing for?" β
Li Changming didn't answer his words, but asked, "Changxing, do you think I shouldn't ask for plums?" I don't think I should be there tonight. The three dilapidated houses in my family also squeezed my father and mother and Changliang, where would I put her to marry her? I can't even afford the bride price. Her mother doesn't want a bride price, but she is worried about not wanting to, people want to wonder why Meizi is so cheap, and she doesn't want to marry me, a poor bastard. β
Li Changxing was also silent.
He had made this family business so successful, and he really hadn't thought about it so much.
He only thinks that Brother Changming is a good person and should not be unable to marry a daughter-in-law. But when he said this, it seemed that he was really wronged by Meizi.
However, he was not a person who was easily depressed, so he carefully asked Li Changming about the situation in the Qin family.
After listening, he said to Li Changming: "Brother Changming, if Meizi's father and mother are unreasonable, you really can't do it; But when you listen to what they say, they are thinking about you everywhere. You shouldn't be worried at all, you should cheer up. You don't have to worry about this bride price, let's make a bride price and come out. Since this bride price is not rare in her family, let's take a face, go back and let Meizi bring it over and return it. We can't afford to build this house, and we can't afford to build a thatched house with earthen walls? When we're done in the fields, we'll build our own houses with adobe. As long as you work hard with Meizi, and her mother's family can help her, maybe it won't take a few years to live a good life. β
Li Changming listened to his words, felt a lot brighter in his heart, and said: "I'm also confused, I just feel sorry for Meizi, and I feel ashamed." You're right, it's already like this, if I don't take care of it, won't it be a waste of Meizi's heart? β
Li Changxing said: "That's it. Also, I think you should split up. You talk to your uncle well, but you are soft-hearted like your mother-in-law, and you are so unfilial. If you are poor, it is useless to have a filial heart; When you are well, you can be filial if you want to be filial. β
The brothers planned carefully again, and by the time Li Changming left, he felt much more confident in his heart.
Besides, the Qin family, after Li Changming left, Meizi walked out of the room with an ugly face, and sat down silently beside her mother, as if she had grown up several years at once.
She has never worried about her livelihood, and she has never thought about this life, she just obediently listens to her mother's words, learns this, and does that.
Tonight, hearing these things discussed between her father and Li Changming, she suddenly discovered that it didn't seem to be a simple matter for her to marry Li Changming, even if her family didn't dislike the Li family, but where did she live when she got married? It is not even possible to ask for a bride price.
She is not afraid of hardship, but when she thinks of the three broken houses of the Li family, his procrastinating father, his stunned younger brother, and his nagging mother, she suddenly felt a burst of fear.
When the dog girl saw her daughter come out, she wanted to complain to her, saying that she "didn't listen to the old man, and suffered in front of her" or something, but looking at the girl's hesitant and frightened look, she no longer had a temper.
She took her daughter's hand distressedly and comforted: "Changming is a diligent person, you are not lazy, you will be separated when you get married, and you can always live well with your mother's help." β
Meizi turned her head and said to her mother seriously: "I know, I can afford to suffer. Mother, just relax. Usually I was ignorant, and I grew so big, I kept my father and mother worried. β
She thought of Liu Xiaomei and Chrysanthemum, when they were together, they talked about some fields, chickens and ducks, etc., and she laughed at them, saying that they looked like old farmers farming.
For example, chrysanthemums asked Liu Xiaomei for sunflower seeds, and asked how to plant them, planting dozens of them on the edge of the ridge; I asked for some pepper seeds, and said that I must harvest more red peppers this year, and I have received them now.
Chrysanthemum also taught Liu Xiaomei that the chicken pen and pig pen must be cleaned and cleaned often, otherwise the chickens are prone to plague; After cutting the rice, she told Liu Xiaomei that it was not the best to put the chickens in the rice field, and it was not the best to eat the rice that fell in the field, mainly because there were a lot of insects in the field, and the chickens loved to lay eggs.
The two discussed again to tie ropes to the chicken's feet, otherwise they would run around and would not be able to catch them.
