Chapter 12: The Human Heart
"Mother~ I'm back, do you have anything to eat, I'm so hungry!" Just when Li Datong and his wife were discussing selling Li Guyu to a fool. Li Xinyu went to the village chief's house to deliver the carriage and came back.
Wang Shufen hurriedly went out and said to Li Xinyu, "You are back Xinyu, just steam buns with me." Li Xinyu was very unhappy when he heard this. Mother, didn't you say that I went to deliver the carriage and you steamed buns at home? Why am I coming back with you? ”
"Don't ask, come in, my mother has something to tell you." Li Xinyu reluctantly followed Wang Shufen into the door. "Mother, if you have anything you can't say outside, you have to let me come in with you." Wang Shufen picked up the noodles. Divide half of it to Li Xinyu and tell her to knead the dough.
Wang Shufen said to Li Xinyu while kneading her dough: "Today, Mrs. Wang Matchmaker came to our house." said that he was going to find a daughter-in-law for Zhang Fugui's family in the west of the village, and he fell in love with Gu Yu, so don't provoke her these days. Follow her temperament. Don't let her run. Li Xinyu heard what Wang Shufen said.
I was shocked. opened his mouth and said, "Isn't the son of Zhang Fugui's family that fool? Are you going to tell Li Guyu to him? Can Li Guyu agree? ”
"You stupid boy. She agrees or not, and it's not up to me to decide. Since ancient times, the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, if she really disagrees, let's find an opportunity. Drugged her and send her to the fool's bed, I told you about it, and you must not say anything. We got her dowry. Isn't there money to let you go to school! Wang Shufen's gap between these two people can be said to be obvious.
"Okay, my mother knows, don't worry, I won't say anything." Li Xinyu hurriedly responded.
"Then you go out quickly, it's dirty here, just come by yourself." Wang Shufen was reluctant to let her daughter suffer a little fatigue. After saying that, he drove her back to the room. "Mother, then I'll go back and review first." After Li Xinyu finished speaking, he walked out of the kitchen.
Soon it was time for dinner. Because Wang Shufen didn't dare to instruct Li Guyu, she made dinner by herself. Then he called Sister Li Guyu to come out for dinner. Li Guyu slowly came out of the room, ready to get a bowl of rice.
At this time, Wang Shufen came out with a bowl and said, "Gu Yu, sit down, I'll bring out the rice for you." He said to Li Xinyu again, "Xinyu! You go and bring food to your father. Li Xinyu listened, took the bowl and entered the door to deliver food to Li Datong.
At this time, Wang Shufen said to Li Guyu, "Gu Yu." You see you're not too young, and it's time to find an in-law. Your father is like this, and you can share some of the burden for our family if you get married. Li Guyu raised his head at this time, looked at Wang Shufen and said, "Mother! Who do you want me to marry? ”
Wang Shufang was very satisfied with Li Guyu's obedience. said to her, "Zhang Fugui's family in the west of the village is now looking for someone to talk about his daughter-in-law." His family is quite rich, runs a garment factory, and does not have to work in the field to earn work. You are blessed when you go. Li Guyu faced Wang Shufen's remarks, raised his face and asked, "Why don't you let my sister go to such a thing?" She can marry too, can't she? ”
"Why do I marry! I don't want to marry that fool! Li Xinyu was so angry when he heard Li Guyu say this that he retorted to Li Guyu, "Heh." Marry a fool! You don't want to marry me, why should you marry? After Li Guyu finished speaking, he turned his head to Wang Shufen and said, "I won't get married, you will die of this heart!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Shufen's face changed instantly, "Let me tell you, you have to marry if you marry, and if you don't marry, you have to marry me, and this matter is not up to you." Since I can't talk to you about it, I don't need to say it well, since ancient times, the marriage of children has been the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. Not married? It's the other way around. ”
Li Guyu was unusually calm when she heard this, she put the bowl of rice on the table and turned around and walked out, and when she was about to walk to the door, Li Guyu turned her head to Wang Shufen and said, "I have already said that I will not marry, if you force me to be anxious, I can't guarantee that I will do something!" After Li Guyu finished speaking, he turned his head and left, without looking at Wang Shufen's reaction in the house.
"Dead girl dares to threaten me!" Wang Shufen almost couldn't get up in a breath when she heard Li Guyu's words, Li Xinyu hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Shufen calm down, "Mother, don't be angry!" Didn't we say that! If she doesn't agree, let's find an opportunity to give her a medicine and take it to the fool, or that's it! Li Xinyu seemed to expect this, so he gave Wang Shufen an idea.
"That's the way it is, but it's so easy to find an opportunity!" Wang Shufen's face was stool-colored, which was more ugly than eating. At this time, Li Xinyu stuck on Wang Shufen's ear and said, "Didn't I send a carriage to the village chief's house in the afternoon, I heard the village chief's daughter-in-law say that her son brought a daughter-in-law back, and the woman was pregnant, it seems that she will be ready to hold a wedding banquet and get married in a few days, we can take advantage of this opportunity!" ”
"The village chief is married? When the time comes, there will be a lot of people, what if there is any accident! Wang Shufen's face softened a lot when she heard Li Xinyu say this, but it was still not good-looking.
"Mother! You want to! When the time comes, there will be a lot of people, and after we give her the medicine, while she is not feeling well, I can say to take her home and send her to the west of the village, so that no one will know! Li Xinyu's apparent meekness no longer exists at this moment, Wang Shufen understands this daughter's ruthlessness, and also acquiesces to her growth.
