"Wait for them to grow two years before they can find a mother-in-law, and then it will be even more difficult for you to marry a daughter-in-law at your age. The mother is really helpless, so she thought about negotiating the Ma family's family business, and the person promised to give a bride price of 300 yuan, promised to buy three turns and one ring, promised to arrange work for Honghong in the supply and marketing cooperative, and promised to buy two more clothes for Honghong from head to toe, from the inside to the outside. ”

Lu Jiadong was not moved by the old lady's words: "The son of the Ma family is mute, and he is lame, and he has epilepsy, mother, Honghong is what you think of as a pain in your eyes, like the Ma family, no matter how good the conditions are, you shouldn't pay attention to it." As for my family affairs, I am not in a hurry. ”

"How can you not be in a hurry? You look like you're going to be twenty, if you don't talk about good family affairs, how can you let your mother rest assured? ”

Wiping her tears, Mrs. Lu looked at her little son with great distress, and when she saw that Lu Jiadong opened her mouth and wanted to say something to her, she hurriedly moved her eyes to Old Man Lu, "Old man, Xiaoliu's marriage really can't be delayed any longer, the child of the Ma family has such and such problems, but the conditions of the Ma family are good, and Honghong is blessed to marry in the past!" ”

Old man Lu showed a hesitant expression, seeing this, Lu Honghong gritted her teeth, and a small bloody cut was immediately cut by a kitchen knife on her left wrist, and she cried bitterly: "Dad, do you want to force me even if you want to?" Okay, very good, then you can carry my body to Ma's house!" ”

Lu Jiadong hurriedly stopped: "Honghong, if you put down the kitchen knife, the little brother will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of his life, and he will not exchange you and the Ma family for money." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Old Man Lu and Old Lady Lu: "Dad! Mother! Our family has no reputation in the village at all, if you agree to the marriage of the Ma family again, do you want our family to never be able to hold their heads up in front of people? ”

Imprisoned on the farm for a year, he suffered a lot of crimes, and when he returned to the village to be pointed at by others, he was so ashamed that it was difficult for him to talk to people, and the fourth sister-in-law said more than once that the road was under his feet, and it all depended on how everyone walked.

He wants to live like a person, and he doesn't want to be muddy anymore, but the old lady always can't stop, dragging this family back, what kind of trouble do you want to make?

"Dad, haven't we lost all our face?"

Brother Lu finally spoke with a calm face: "If you don't think you have lost everything, then let my mother toss it!" ”

After a pause, he continued: "Having the opportunity to work in the city, this is a great thing for Honghong, in the future, she will find a good partner in the city to help Xiaoliu, and there are only a lot more opportunities to help this family, but if you fulfill my mother's wishes today, you will lose not only Honghong's daughter, but you will also lose a lot of opportunities that belong to Xiaoliu and belong to this family." ”

After that, Brother Lu turned around and went back to the house, ignoring the farce in the courtyard.

After a while, Old Man Lu sighed, his eyes were complicated, he looked at Lu Honghong and said: "You went to Anshi, remember to pull your little brother, your father and your mother are old, and they have been thinking of ways to save money for the past two years, I just hope to settle you and your little brother well, and watch you marry a wife and a family, and you can live a good life." ”

Lu Honghong blinked her tears: "Dad, did you agree?" Agree with me to go to work in Saddle City? ”

Old man Lu nodded "um", and said angrily: "Go, put the kitchen knife back in the stove room, and my father will accompany you to find the old branch secretary to open a letter of introduction." ”

The tears that stopped rolled down again,
