Chapter 4: The Ancient Peasant Girl 4
Follow Su Chen to Su's house, Su's father is still there, this is not yet the time to go to class, Su's father wants to accept students in the village, and the villagers are naturally happy, after all, these years, it is easier to find a job than those who are not literate, and the whole village went out together to build a school on the edge of the ancestral hall.
"It's Sanya. Father Su was not surprised to see Chen Lin.
"Dad, I'll invite Sanya to dinner. Su Chen said to Su's father.
"Excuse me. Chen Lin saluted Father Su.
"No, sit down. Father Su waved his hand, she actually pitied Chen Lin, Chen Lin occasionally went outside the school to listen to their lectures, and he was the only one among the girls, and he still admired it very much.
After eating, Chen Lin rushed to help wash the dishes and chopsticks, and went up the mountain, Su Chen waited for her to leave before telling her father that she was going to marry Chen Lin.
"Have you thought about this matter? If you confirm it, you can't regret it, our Su family can't do such a thing as throwing away the bad chaff. Su's father looked at his son very solemnly, worried that he was just overflowing with compassion and did something that he regretted.
"Dad, I have thought about it, I am willing to marry her. Su Chen was silent for a moment, and finally said firmly.
"Okay, Miss Chen is actually not bad, but it's a pity that she was born to the wrong person. Father Su nodded, no opinion.
What identity is not worthy, hehe, their family is now just a commoner with a show of talent and fame, and it is not the previous family, and even before, they are just a side branch of the five suits with the Yan branch, otherwise they will not be able to escape that catastrophe.
couldn't help but think of his wife who reconciled with him immediately after the accident, and felt that it was actually not bad to marry Chen Lin, after all, at present, although this girl has a stubborn personality, she is a grateful person.
And the cooking skills are also very good, knowing and smart, studious and diligent, and his personality is also very generous, he has always been down-to-earth and generous when facing him and Su Chen, more atmospheric than some young ladies, compared to those in the village and the women he recommended, he suddenly felt that Chen Lin was very good.
Father Su agreed, but when Su Chen mentioned proposing marriage to the Chen family, he hesitated, although Chen Lin was good, but the Chen family was not good, it would not be good if he became an in-law.
He also told his son about his concerns, and Su Chen frowned when he thought of those people in the Chen family, "I'll talk to Chen Lin about this matter." ”
"Well, you see what she thinks. Father Su nodded, in fact, in these years, after the girl gets married, she will be a guest when she returns to her parents' house, as long as the daughter-in-law is not close to her mother's family, even if her mother's family has an opinion, at most others accuse the girl of being ruthless.
After all, this is an ancient time, not a modern age where both men and women have to provide for the elderly, otherwise the ancients would not think that girls are losing money, because if they are raised and married, they will be from someone else's family, but they will lose money.
However, such customs are still very useful at some times, for example, if Chen Lin wants to get rid of the Chen family, marrying out is a way, although she is still in the same village, she will be said if she really ignores the Chen family, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't care about it.
So when Su Chen mentioned this matter, Chen Lin asked how much a girl as big as her could sell in the county.
"Why are you asking this? It's really not okay, just ignore them when we get married, don't you think about it. Su Chen immediately frowned.
"No, I thought I bought myself, and I won't have anything to do with them in the future. Chen Lin said his thoughts, "Moreover, as long as this deed of sale does not go to the government to report, it should not be considered a slave." ”
"This one is. Su Chen thought about it and nodded, this is indeed a good way, selling it is equivalent to buying out this family relationship, although there are also many maids who are sold and still miss Lao Tzu Niang, but that is people who care about the old love.
According to common sense, if you are sold, you are not a member of this family, so it makes sense, "A girl as big as you will generally give 5 taels of silver." This is still the high price that Chen Lin gave when she looked good, after all, human life is really worthless these days, especially the girls in ordinary people's mouths lose money.
Chen Lin was suddenly a little entangled, five taels didn't sound like much, but when converted into purchasing power, it was equivalent to five thousand, and it was five thousand in the early nineties, and five thousand at that time was equivalent to fifty thousand later.
Although 50,000 yuan is cheap to buy a person, but the premise is that she has to have silver, and the current reality is that she doesn't have a copper plate.
"I'll give this money as a dowry. Su Chen also knew about Chen Lin's situation, so he spoke.
"It's like I borrowed it. Chen Lin was a little unwilling, but she also knew that she couldn't take it out, even if she wanted to make money, she couldn't get it for a while, unless she could dig ginseng like the heroine of the novel.
But ginseng is so easy to find, they don't know if they have ginseng here, and if they want to find it, they have to go to the deep mountains, but there are jackals, tigers and leopards in it, which is very dangerous, and Chen Lin doesn't want to take any risks.
Su Chen didn't say anything, he went back and told his father about it, Su's father thought about it, nodded, agreed with this statement, and gave her ten taels of silver, anyway, marrying a daughter-in-law in the countryside and giving ten taels of dowry is considered to be the sky.
Su Chen originally planned for him to come forward, but Chen Lin refused, not because he was afraid that his appearance would affect anything, but because he didn't want the Chen family to open his mouth after seeing him.
She asked Su Chen to help write a deed of sale, pointing out that the two parties had nothing to do with each other when the contract was signed, and the two parties could no longer come to the door in the name of their relatives to find trouble with the other party.
After getting it done, she found the village chief and the patriarch again, ready to find them to be a witness, but she didn't expect the two to be together, chatting with some other old people in the village, "Sanya, what do you want to do?" The patriarch didn't like Chen Lin.
"Village chief, patriarch, I know that you all have a lot of opinions about me, because my family said that I killed my brothers and sisters, right, but I can be sure that their deaths have nothing to do with me, my cousin and eldest brother were beaten to death because they robbed others of food,
My eldest sister and my cousin, one of them voluntarily followed others for food, and the other was sold by my third uncle, is this also my fault, although my family thinks that it is the people who do not eat and eat because I don't make Yizi will let them have nothing to eat and rob before they are killed.
Moreover, even if I go to change, at most I will exchange one child for another child, how long can they eat, and whether they have to continue to change after eating, then it will only be the first month of the escape, and there will be two months to go.
