The eighth day of the second month is the day of my marriage.

Since I was sent into the new house, I sat alone on the edge of the bed, and it was supposed that someone should be drinking wine in the outhouse, and someone would come to the cave room, but it was quiet inside and outside.

The reason is that an ugly thing happened on the way to send off relatives: Brother Niu at the entrance of the village came to snatch relatives, and then, failed.

Later, Brother Niu was tied up by his family, crying wolves all the way, and at the same time stinking my reputation. Even though my husband's house is ten miles away from our Batou Village and it takes more than an hour to walk, it was the people from Ginkgo Village on my husband's side who greeted the relatives, and as soon as they arrived in the village, they whispered and spread the news, and the mother's family who sent them back in disgrace.

After much hesitation, I lifted the red head cover myself, because I was so hungry that I didn't even drink saliva from morning to night. Glancing down the room, it was cold and cold, with a few old tables, chairs and cabinets, and a simple red ribbon to show festivity.

There was a plate of pastries and peanuts on the table by the window, I got up and walked forward to pick up a piece of pastry and was about to stuff it into my mouth, when I suddenly heard footsteps outside the house, and ran back to the bed in shock, looking for the red head cover that I had just removed, and when I picked up the red head cover from the ground and closed it, the door creaked open from the outside.

Two people walked into the house one after another, and heard a woman's voice say, "Ah Ping, go and remove the bride's head." I didn't hear an echo, but after a moment of silence, I saw a red wedding robe appear in the limited perspective under the red skull.

The head was light, and the skull was removed, but it was not provoked with a weighing rod.

I forgot the meaning of this ceremony, probably to use the scale pole to pick up the red head cover and be safe and sound. The gaze slowly moved up with the red cloth that had been torn off the ground, and saw a ...... Very young and upright face, specifically described as still a little immature, looking at me slightly sloppy.

I thought silently: it seems that the rumors are true.

I am nineteen years old this year, and the girls in the village have basically had their in-laws after the age of fifteen, but I have not been able to propose marriage until this year. It's not that I'm ugly, it's that I have a sick brother in the family.

The poor family is nothing in a small village, but there is a younger brother who is frail all the year round and needs to drink medicine, firstly, because he is afraid that our family will have any internal diseases, and secondly, he is also afraid of being dragged down. Brother Niu is the best example, growing up with my childhood sweetheart, he always wanted to marry me but his family never agreed, so today he had no choice but to come to rob his relatives, but this was a reckless decision.

Just half a month ago, the Liu family asked someone to come to the matchmaker, and at that time, his younger brother Xiaotong was in a high fever and was in urgent need of a medicine fee to see Langzhong. There is no doubt that the Liu family's proposal is a charcoal in the snow, because in addition to rice and pork, the dowry also has ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver is not a small amount, enough to get medicine for his younger brother and see a doctor, and there is still a lot left.

At that moment, my father agreed without frowning, and got my dowry to see my younger brother. It was Brother Aniu who couldn't accept it after learning about it, so he went to inquire about Widow Liu's house, and heard that Widow Liu's son was actually a fool.

Idiot...... These two words silently rolled through my mind, and my mouth was slightly bitter.

It was still the woman's voice: "Ah Ping, go get the dragon and phoenix wine on the table and drink." Ah Ping turned to the side in a daze, and I saw a middle-aged woman in a dark blue dress standing there, her face gloomy.

There is also one standing at the door, which is today's Xi Po.

Originally, when she came to greet her relatives, Xi Po was still happily saying auspicious words, but at this time, there was a trace of disgust in her eyes when she looked at me. I knew why, so I could only swallow the bitter water in my stomach.

I only heard Xi Po shouting in a sharp voice: "Why are you so unruly, seeing that your mother-in-law still kneels down to serve tea?" ”

In my heart, this woman in front of me is my mother-in-law, Widow Liu? I hurried to get up, but in a panic I stepped on the hem of my skirt, and an upside-down onion slumped towards the back of my shoulder in front of me.

What happened immediately after me was unexpected.

I rolled with my newly married husband in embarrassment, I don't know if it was the exclamation of the Xi Po or the mother-in-law, I tried to get up several times but failed because the two of them were entangled in their clothes, but the more they struggled, the tighter they were entangled, and in the confusion, I didn't know who was pinching and dragging me, I instinctively resisted, so the number of people rolling on the ground became larger, and the exclamations and screams came and went.

I tried to raise my head in a panic, but I didn't know what the hairpin on my head had hooked, but I heard a "hiss" next to my ears, and then the two arms under me suppressed my head. I lay on the other person's body, and the smell lingering in my nose was very mixed, including the cheesy carmine powder fragrance of Xi Po, the smell of camphor in the new fabric, and an indescribable crispness mixed in with it.
