Chapter 300: Married
Han Mingxiu was thinking about Sun Yingmei, so she strode towards Sun Maowen's house, and Zhang He followed her closely, not missing half a step.
When he walked halfway, he heard a noise in front of him, and when he listened carefully, it turned out to be Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law scolding Sun Yingmei, and there were many people around to persuade him, and the voice gradually spread from far to near, obviously Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law was pulling Sun Yingmei to their side.
"You are a little cheap hoof who eats inside and out, and when you meet a man, you can't tell the inside and out, are you close to that man or with your father? I've been feeding you for so many years, it's better to raise you than to raise a dog, and the dog still knows how to repay the owner's kindness, so it's better for you to join forces with the wild man to steal things from the house...... If you don't get the money and food back to me today, I won't pick your skin...... Bang bang bang ......"
In the distance, Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law dragged Sun Yingmei, beating and scolding while walking towards this side, followed by a large group of villagers watching the excitement.
Among them, many people persuaded Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law not to beat her daughter-in-law out of kindness, Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law was angry, where was she willing to listen to people's persuasion, as soon as she persuaded her, she would quarrel with others with her neck: "Then you can give our family 300 yuan and 200 catties of grain, and I won't fight this loser if you take it." ”
When everyone saw her unruly appearance, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut. Although they can't get used to Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law's domineering appearance, no matter how domineering people are, it is also a family matter of their own family, and they are not overly involved, so they have to follow behind and act at the opportunity.
Sun Yingmei was held by her mother's hair, and she staggered forward, because it was the hair on her temples, so her expression was very painful.
The nerves in the temples were the most sensitive, and the hair in the temples was the most painful.
However, even if the tears came out of the pain, she didn't dare to resist, only raised a pair of hands, as if she wanted to protect her hair, but she didn't dare to protect it, so she stopped her hand in mid-air, looking very pitiful and distressing.
From afar, when Han Mingxiu saw this scene, he was immediately angry, and he was about to speed up his pace to reprimand. saw a gust of wind whirling around him, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang He had already rushed to Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law, pointed at her nose, and roared angrily: "Let go of her!" ”
Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law was beating and scolding, and when she saw the angry Zhang He and his thunderous roar, she was startled and subconsciously let go of her hand.
However, she immediately came back to her senses, grabbed her daughter's hair again, and shouted, "I'll teach my daughter a lesson, what's your business?" Isn't it all you, instigating her to steal our family's money and food, if it weren't for you, she would have been beaten? ”
"Your family's money and food? You don't have a toothache when you say that? Han Mingxiu rushed over and said sarcastically.
"Xiu'er, what's going on? This early in the morning, where is the fighting? The loudspeaker was also in the ranks of people watching the excitement, and when he heard their conversation, he couldn't suppress his gossip and immediately asked each other.
Han Mingxiu didn't save face for Sun Maowen and the two of them, and immediately learned the things of Zhang He and Sun Maowen's family before and after.
After speaking, he said loudly to the onlookers of the villagers: "Just because they can't afford to sit on the ground, they want to get married, and they want to rely on the 300 yuan and 200 catties of grain, who do you blame for this?" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately stood on Han Mingxiu's side, and they all accused Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law.
"Maowen's daughter-in-law, this matter is really not authentic for the two of you, how dare you rely on such a large sum of money and food?"
"I heard that military marriages are protected by the state and the law, and you rely on the money and food of other soldiers, and you are not afraid of letting the police arrest you and squat in the wind......"
"Let me say, you two are too greedy, why are you not satisfied with 300 yuan and 200 catties of food, when my daughter was engaged, the man only gave 50 yuan and 100 catties of grain, and we happily married the child."
"Actually, it doesn't matter how much the bride price is, the happiness of the child is the most important thing, we are marrying a girl, not selling a girl......"
"If you just ask for money from your aunt with a lion's mouth, will your uncle take your old father-in-law and mother-in-law seriously in the future? I have appointed to look down on you, and there will be days when you will regret it......"
When Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law heard that everyone was on Han Mingxiu's side, and they all accused the two of them, she couldn't help but be angry and ashamed, and said angrily:
"You guys don't have to be too powerful, I know, just because Xiao Xiu'er helps you raise pigs to make money, you all talk to her, and you all come to help her squeeze us, it's really interesting, why is our family going to marry a girl is our own family's business, what's your business? Who used you to slap your wife's tongue? A bunch of stuff, phew! ”
Here, Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law is fighting with Confucianism, and she doesn't forget to hold her daughter's hair tightly.
Sun Yingmei saw Zhang He standing in front of him, and didn't want her sweetheart to see her embarrassed appearance, so she desperately wanted to lower her head.
However, her mother noticed that the hair in her hand was lowering, so she increased her strength and pulled it hard, forcing Sun Yingmei to raise her head again and face Zhang He.
At this time, her face was already swollen, and there were several slap marks on both cheeks, red and a little blue, which looked shocking.
When Zhang He saw her like this, he felt very sorry in his heart, but because her father and mother couldn't comfort her.
And Sun Yingmei was embarrassed and sad to see that her embarrassed appearance was completely exposed in front of Zhang He, she couldn't resist her mother, so she had to close her eyes helplessly, crying silently, and crying quietly.
Looking at Sun Yingmei's helpless and pitiful appearance, Zhang He suddenly said, "Don't you want the three hundred yuan and two hundred catties of grain?" Okay, I'll give it to you! ”
As soon as these words came out, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.
Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law couldn't help but let go of her hand, glared at her eyes and asked, "Really?" You didn't cheat me? ”
Zhang He nodded: "I'm a soldier, and my words count." However, the money and food are not for you, and you must agree to two conditions. ”
"What conditions? You say......"
Hearing that the three hundred yuan and two hundred catties of grain could be taken back again, Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law's anger suddenly faded, and she stared at Zhang He with her greedy eyes open.
Zhang He ignored her, but looked at Sun Yingmei and asked her: "Comrade Sun Yingmei, I, Zhang He, want to marry you, are you willing to marry me?" If you want, let's go to the captain to prove it now, and then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to pull the certificate. ”
Without waiting for Sun Yingmei to answer, he said again, "However, if you marry me, you must cut off the relationship with your parents, are you willing?" ”
Sun Yingmei had been tormented by her parents and brother and brother this morning, and at this moment, the man she liked stood in front of her and asked her if she would like to marry him, as if someone had extended an olive branch to her when she was drowning.
She didn't care what the villagers thought of her, and almost without thinking, she cried and replied, "I...... Willing! ”
"Good!" Zhang He nodded, and then turned his eyes to Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law.
"Did you hear my request? I want to marry Comrade Sun Yingmei, but I only recognize her as a daughter-in-law, not her parents who sold their daughters, if you agree, we will sign the agreement in front of everyone, and I will give you food and money immediately. ”
"However, if you don't agree, then let's see you in court, you cheat money and marry you, and the court will help me administer justice."
When Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law heard this, she was immediately a little entangled.
In fact, they are already very content to be able to exchange their daughters for 300 yuan and 200 catties of food. After all, they started to find a girl's in-law a few years ago, but it has been Zhang Luo for several years, and no one can afford to pay this huge bride price.
It's just that people's greed is endless, at the beginning they thought that the three hundred yuan and two hundred catties of food were quite a lot, but as soon as they heard that Zhang He paid a salary every month, and there were more than 20 yuan every month, the greed and desire of the two of them grew wildly.
They felt that since he had a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, the pension money of 30 yuan a year should not be too much, and they should not refuse.
Therefore, this is the requirement of thirty yuan per Chinese New Year's Eve.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang, who seemed to be very talkative, didn't give any face when he was tough, and rejected them at that time, which led to a series of things that happened later.
After being rejected last night, being reprimanded by the village chief, and her daughter-in-law stealing money and food to return to them, Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law no longer dared to fight the idea of pension money of thirty yuan a Chinese New Year's Eve.
It's just that I can't save face for a while.
After all, when they ask for money, they can pay attention to it, and they must ask for 30 yuan a year for pension, and the time has changed in just one night, and they can't erase this face.
Just hesitating, Han Mingxiu said coldly on the side: "Yingmei is tossed by you like this, her reputation will definitely be ruined, if you want to exchange her for a bride price of 300 yuan and 200 catties of grain in the future, it is absolutely impossible, so today is your last chance, after this village, there will be no more of this shop, you can think about it......"
At this time, the loudspeaker shouted on the side: "This guy is good-looking, he is still a soldier, and some are good girls who are in a hurry to get married, so let's introduce you to one, you can give a bride price of 50 yuan and 100 catties of food, and ensure that he is a big girl who satisfies you." ”
Cheng Shun's daughter-in-law also shouted at Zhang He and said: "My sister-in-law is eighteen years old this year, graduated from high school, and looks quite handsome, or I will introduce you to ......"
Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law originally wanted to hold it to see if the thirty yuan pension money could be carded out? But when I saw that there were so many prying, I immediately panicked, and I was afraid that Zhang Hetu would not want her daughter cheaply.
If she didn't want her daughter, wouldn't the 300 yuan and 200 catties of food have to be wasted?
Then don't you feel sorry for her?
So, she didn't care about her broken basin anymore, and said loudly to Zhang He: "Okay! Then it's decided, let's find the captain to sign and draw a pledge. ”
"Okay! Let's go......"
Zhang He glanced at Sun Yingmei, and walked towards the production team without hesitation.
When the captain heard that they had already reached an agreement, he sent someone to find Sun Maowen and talk to him about the matter.
Sun Maowen has long regretted what happened yesterday, and he is even more afraid that Zhang He really doesn't want his daughter when he is angry, and it is easy to meet someone who is willing to pay a lot of money to marry his daughter.
In other words, it is not certain whether it can be encountered.
His sons are not too young, and they really can't afford to wait......
So, after the captain found him and told him what Zhang Hede meant, he didn't hesitate and agreed directly. ‘
Finally, the matter was completely settled.
The solution is that Zhang He delivered the 300 yuan and 200 catties of grain to Sun Maowen and his family at one time. Sun Maowen and his family also issued a written certificate, indicating that the two of them voluntarily broke off their relationship with Sun Yingmei, and they were poorer than rich in the future, and they did not get along with each other in old age and death.
In this special era, there are many people who have separated from the relationship between father and son, mother and daughter, father and daughter, mother and son, and as long as one of the parties agrees, and there is a relevant unit to prove it, it has legal effect.
For 300 yuan and 200 catties of grain, Sun Maowen and his family did not hesitate to put their handprints on the documents (they were illiterate and could not write).
After that, Zhang He gave the three hundred yuan to Sun Maowen in front of the captain and the villagers. Han Mingxiu asked two more villagers to help and carried the two bags of grain back to Sun Maowen's house.
And just like that, the matter finally came to an end.
After the incident, Zhang He specially set up a table at Han Mingxiu's house, and invited the captain to have dinner with the women's director and several leaders in the village, which can be regarded as marrying Sun Yingmei.
After the meal, Zhang He didn't stay for a minute, so he left here with Sun Yingmei and went back to the army directly.
