Chapter 10: The Vulgar Village
Song Yu booked a ticket early in the morning, flew to the provincial capital first, and drove a lot to a remote rural area.
"Hey!" After all, he has also studied abroad for many years, and he grew up in Shanghai, so he has never been to such a "poor country". Thinking of Lin Tanger's wise eyes, as well as her graceful and gentle movements and expressions, it was impossible for him to associate such a quiet beauty with such a dusty countryside.
He Song Yu can be regarded as well-informed! can be like Lin Tanger, a woman with an elegant and soft temperament, he is really the first time to see him. Especially overseas, there are not many gentle women. Because today's women are more self-confident and independent. Is it just that such a place can grow such a dignified and decent girl? Looking at the messy, garbage-riddled alley and an old tiled house, Song Yu couldn't help but feel cold in his vest.
"Auntie!" Catching a fat aunt who was knitting a sweater at the mouth of the alley, Song Yu stepped forward and asked, "Is Lin Tanger's house near here?" ”
"Lin Tanger? Are you talking about the Lao Lin family? Oh! It's over there. The lowest tiled house was their house. “
"Okay! Thank you, Auntie! That's right! Can I ask you about Lin Tanger's family? ”
"Lin family! No problem! We've been neighbors for years. ”
"Lin Tanger, does she have a good relationship with her family?"
"Not so good! This old Lin daughter-in-law has a bad temper and beats and scolds the child at every turn. Tangerine has been shy and introverted since she was a child and does not like to talk. I'm afraid I was beaten too much when I was a child. ”
"That's it! So how is the life of the Lin family? Generous? ”
"Their family is not living well! Lao Lin was laid off a few years ago, and he didn't have any skills. Over the years, he has been doing odd jobs in the village. Her mother is not a serious business, and she loves to play mahjong. No, I gamble at home every afternoon! ”
"That's it!" Song Yu's brows furrowed even tighter, but he couldn't help but be glad that he had come to this trip in person.
"Hey! Lad! You don't have a crush on their oranges, do you? The fat aunt looked the well-dressed young man in front of her up and down with a thoughtful expression. It looks like a rich boy.
"Huh!" Song Yu's face flushed, a little embarrassed.
"Don't blame me for gossiping! Tangerine is a good girl, she is caring and considerate, and she looks really good. It's just that the situation of their family, and you, a talented city person, is not a good match! Don't blame my aunt for not reminding you! If your parents had known, they would not have consented to this business. The door is not right! ”
"Ahh Song Yu was stunned! I don't know how to answer.
"Yo! Are you really trapped, young man? Ay! It's not that my aunt talks a lot! The countryside in this village is not good. Marrying a daughter is the same as selling a daughter, one by one, the price is clearly marked! The beautiful name is: dowry. But I didn't see the dowry of the woman's parents! "Although the fat aunt is a woman and a child, her heart is bright! Those who give birth to daughters in this village will only open their mouths to ask for a dowry, but they will not give their daughters a penny of dowry, and they will also privately swallow their daughter's dowry. "Don't say you have a crush on this girl from the village, if you say so. People will immediately talk to you about the price. The fat aunt lowered her voice. Auntie, I married in from other places, so I can't get used to these rural customs. My son doesn't study well. So I frightened him and said, "You don't study hard to marry a girl in the city." I don't have the money to marry you to this rural daughter-in-law. ”
"Huh?" This scared Song Yu, who grew up abroad. "Is there such a thing? Can that girl take it too? “
"Why not? Is there anyone who doesn't want money? These days, why can't you sell it? Of course, there are some who don't accept it, but their parents will brainwash it! The little girl has no opinions, so she goes into the pit! My aunt told you! Look at your talent, don't be fooled like this! I just met someone unladylike and married my poor ghost husband. If I had known that there was such a vulgar in their village, I wouldn't have married them in. The fat aunt sighed. Now I can only hope that my son will be admitted to the university in the city, so that I can get out of this hellish place! ”
"Then what other problems are there in this village besides the problem of marriage?" Song Yu was here to inquire about the situation, but he didn't think that it would take any effort to come, so he simply didn't go to Lin's house, so he chatted slowly with the fat aunt.
"It's more! There is nothing good about this place! "The fat aunt looked disgusted." Every family here plays mahjong happily. There are very few people who can be admitted to university. If it weren't for my aunt's close attention, my son would have been ruined by them. You go to the door of each house in the afternoon, unless there is no one, as long as there is someone there is mahjong sound. ”
"Then Lin Tanger's parents also play mahjong?"
"Her father doesn't fight, but her mother is a gambler. I have to report to the mahjong table every day. Just because of this, Lin Tanger doesn't know how many times she has quarreled with her mother. Tangerine is filial, and she usually has to contract her housework. However, this forest orange is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I heard that I couldn't stand this family and ran away. This run is two or three years, and I don't know where to go. ”
"I see!" Song Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for the orange in his heart. "It seems that her life is not easy!"
"That's right! Where did Lin Tanger'er go? "The fat aunt came back to her senses." You're a friend of Lin Tanger, right? ”
"Yes! I came to Changsha on a business trip. It was Tangerine who asked me to come and see her family. Song Yu said intimately.
"So where did Lin Tangerine go?"
"She's in Shanghai. Now I'm taking care of a child in a Shanghai family, and I can't leave. ”
"That's it! That's good! Being able to find a job in Shanghai is a lot of knowledge! In short, don't come back to this place, it's best. When I came back, I didn't know if I was sold. Young man, my aunt will ask you to send a message to Tangerine, telling her not to come back when she goes out. “
"Okay! Thank you, Auntie! ”
"Don't blame your aunt for being too talkative! Auntie, this is also for you and Tangerine's good! ”
"No blame! Not to blame! How can it be blamed? I have to thank my aunt for telling me the truth! ”
"That's good! Look how polite you lad are! "The fat aunt is happy in her heart, as if she has accumulated great merits." There you go! Auntie, I won't delay your business. ”
"Okay! Thank you, Auntie! After Song Yu waved goodbye to the fat aunt, he walked straight towards the Lin family.
