93. Ask for a bride price
Zhao Xiaofeng only remembered the general direction, and walked forward according to the road in his memory, his legs were numb, and he still saw patches of cornfields, and he couldn't see any difference at all.
Looking at the messy muddy land, Zhao Xiaofeng hesitated for a long time, but still didn't get down and walked in, stood on the ground, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Is there anyone?" Let me ask, where does Su Ji work? ”
The people who were chatting about the day and working stopped what they were doing, looked up at Zhao Xiaofeng on the ground, and joked about Wang Hongying: "Hongying, isn't that your in-laws?" ”
In order to support himself, Zhao Xiaofeng came to Xiahe Village this time and took out all the new clothes at the bottom of the box to wear.
Wang Hongying looked at Zhao Xiaofeng, who was dressed brightly, and said disdainfully: "What kind of in-laws, people in the city, we can't afford to climb high, this in-laws are not uncommon in my family." ”
Wang Hongying is angry for a reason.
Because he went to the countryside for his brother to be an educated youth, he has always been angry with his family, and he didn't even send a letter to his family about getting married.
I didn't look down on it before, and Wang Hongying didn't have the habit of sticking a hot face to a cold ass, so naturally she didn't have a good face for Zhao Xiaofeng.
Some people don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and Gonghuo said: "It's not rare, other people's daughters are also married to your son, and your grandson will have to come out of the belly of other people's girls in the future, can you not recognize it?" ”
Originally, Su Qi was a thorn in Wang Hongying's eyes, but after pouting the village for election and squeezing Yan Fusheng from the position of captain, Su Qi became a thorn in Wang Hongying's side: "Just her?" As a result, after so long, my stomach didn't move, and I didn't think I could give birth at all. As far as she is, sooner or later it will be the material for divorce. ”
Those people didn't suppress their voices when they spoke, and Zhao Xiaofeng could hear it clearly when he stood on the ground, staring at the woman named Hongying carefully, and clenched his back molars in anger.
wanted to go down and theorize with Wang Hongying, but he was afraid of dirtying his clothes, so he rolled his eyes a few times, wrote down Wang Hongying's appearance, and continued to look for Su Qi with a belly full of anger.
When Zhao Xiaofeng found Su Qi, Su Qi had just been handmade from the ground, and he still had mud on his hands and a headscarf, which was no different from the people in the village together.
Under the sunset, Zhao Xiaofeng squatted on the side of the road, his new clothes were a little out of place with the dirt in the countryside, he put away his smiling face, stopped laughing with his peers, walked to Zhao Xiaofeng's side, and asked in a low voice: "You are not staying at home, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhao Xiaofeng walked all the way, his legs hurt too, and he held back the anger in his stomach, but he was told by Su Ji head-on, and the anger in his stomach found a place to go out, Zhao Xiaofeng went back: "My legs are long on me, and I am not allowed to walk around." ”
Su Qi didn't want Zhao Xiaofeng to come out, but also thought that she was in a hurry, she had a good rest at home, and she was kind enough to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. ”
With that, turn around and leave.
Zhao Xiaofeng walked dizzily, and he couldn't remember the way home, seeing that Su Ji really planned to leave his house alone, and didn't care about anything else, he got up and patted the soil on his buttocks: "You dead girl, wait for me, how can I catch up with you with my old arms and legs." ”
When the people around saw this scene, they had already left with interest.
Su Qi and Zhao Xiaofeng walked one after the other, all the way to the entrance of the village.
Zhao Xiaofeng really couldn't walk, so he bent over to support his knees: "You walk slowly." ”
Su Ji didn't speak, but he didn't continue to walk forward.
Just now, Xia Yulu also finished today's class, holding two books, and walked from the school to the educated youth.
looked at Su Qi from a distance, and when she got closer, she found that there was a woman not far behind her.
Two meters away from the two, Xia Yulu stopped.
Looking at Zhao Xiaofeng, who was somewhat similar to Su Qi, Xia Yulu opened her mouth to greet: "You are Su Qi's mother, you are so young, you are like a sister with Su Qi." ”
Su Qi is the eldest in the family, when she was born, Zhao Xiaofeng was thirty-six, and now Su Qi is twenty-one years old, and Zhao Xiaofeng is also fifty-six this year.
Zhao Xiaofeng is not a particularly well-maintained person, and there is no such condition at home, so naturally there is no fifty-year-old who looks the same as thirty-year-old.
Standing together, they can still be said to be sisters, I don't know whether to say that Xia Yulu is blind, or that Xia Yulu's skills in opening her eyes and talking nonsense are too perfect.
Zhao Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly: "I am her mother, how can I still be a sister, these words have messed us up." You kid, you can't speak. ”
Zhao Xiaofeng's ignorant jokes made Xia Yulu blush.
For the first time, Su Qi felt that Zhao Xiaofeng's straight temper was still quite good, and he introduced: "This is the educated youth who went to the countryside with me, Xia Yulu." ”
Zhao Xiaofeng is very familiar with this name, and the version he heard from Qiao Yan Tang is that this person is the one who grabbed a man with his daughter, and after looking at it carefully, he asked: "Xia Zhiqing doesn't look like he works in the field, is it possible that you can do something special and not work?" ”
Xia Yulu felt Zhao Xiaofeng's hostility, brushed her hair, and straightened the corners of her clothes: "I am a teacher in the preschool class in the village, and I can have a job without working." ”
Su Ji leaned into Zhao Xiaofeng's ear and explained in a low voice: "It is to teach those children in the village who are not yet of school age to read and write." ”
Zhao Xiaofeng understood, and came as soon as he spoke: "Read so many books, and in the end you still show children to others, you are blind with a good diploma, and I don't know what that old witch has taken a fancy to you?" ”
Who is the old witch in Zhao Xiaofeng's mouth, Su Qi doesn't know.
But since she quit her job as a preschool teacher, Xia Yulu looks arrogant every time she sees her, and Su Ji has long been unhappy.
In line with the principle of kindness, Su Qi has always turned a blind eye, and this time, Zhao Xiaofeng gave himself a breath.
Forcibly holding back the smile, Su Qi gave Zhao Xiaofeng a round game: "My mother has a straight temper, and her speech is a little inappropriate, don't take it to heart." ”
Without waiting for Xia Yulu to talk, Su Ji took Zhao Xiaofeng's arm and walked away directly around Xia Yulu.
After walking for a distance, Zhao Xiaofeng began to count Su Qi: "Just such a girl, what is there to be afraid of, I asked her in two sentences." You're just going to take you out of the house like that, and you can still ask others to bully you outside? ”
Zhao Xiaofeng chattered all the way.
Su Qi kicked the pebbles on the road and pretended to be dumb.
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard Zhao Xiaofeng silent, turned his head to look over, Zhao Xiaofeng was staring at Wang Hongying in front of him: "That's your mother-in-law!" ”
Su Ji looked into the distance, and Wang Hongying was standing at the door of his house chatting with his neighbors.
Surprised by Zhao Xiaofeng's intelligence ability, she has only been here for a long time, and she didn't introduce anyone to her, so she recognized Wang Hongying and responded: "Yes." ”
Now in this place, Zhao Xiaofeng has no scruples.
His legs were no longer sore, his head was no longer dizzy, he rolled up his sleeves, and Zhao Xiaofeng walked over violently.
Seeing that the situation was not quite right, the person who was chatting with Wang Hongying kept the conversation, and retreated to the door of his house tightly, but he did not go in, leaning against the wooden door, ready to watch the excitement.
Su Qi hurriedly pulled Zhao Xiaofeng: "Mom, let's go home." ”
Zhao Xiaofeng shook his hand, broke away from Su Ji's pull, put his hand on his waist, tilted his head and said, "Old witch, I can listen to everything you said in the field today." If you marry my daughter, you still have to hate this and that, and you will be cheap and obedient. ”
Wang Hongying stood one step higher than Zhao Xiaofeng, and looked at Zhao Xiaofeng condescendingly: "Yo, who should I be, Su Ji and her mother." You don't know about your own daughter? Whoever marries her is taking advantage, it is a scourge. ”
"Phew", Zhao Xiaofeng spit at Wang Hongying's feet: "Why did you go early, you can't keep your eyes open when you marry a daughter-in-law, don't you marry at home, we are a big girl with yellow flowers, and the man you want to marry has to line up at the door." ”
Wang Hongying laughed: "They are also educated youths, and Xia Zhiqing's matchmaker came to the door twice in three days to help talk about matchmaking." Your girl, no one has been interested in our Xiahe Village for more than a year, this is called a lot of people who want to marry? Hurry up and pee to show yourself what kind of virtue you are. ”
"No one cares, it's because you have eyes and don't know the real pearl. If it weren't for this dead girl hiding it from us at that time, I wouldn't have let her marry a black-hearted person like you. ”
If you want to talk about black hearts, Wang Hongying feels that she is not as good as Su Qi.
I couldn't say Su Ji before, and I kept it in my heart, but this time I found an opportunity, and began to count them one by one: "My black-hearted liver, if I were black-hearted, I should have died at this door in the first place, making your daughter a joke, and not letting her enter the door to harm my family." ”
"You ask your daughter, after entering the door for a year, we first broke up the family, and then we mixed up with the whole village, and robbed the captain of the father's position. Your daughter is a broom star, you don't want to stay at home, for fear of hindering your family's luck, so send her here, right? Your family is black-hearted. ”
Originally, because of the matter of going to the countryside, there was a lot of trouble at home, Wang Hongying's words were a naked provocation, if Su Qi had an opinion on the family because of this, how would Zhao Xiaofeng find Su Qi to fight the autumn wind in the future.
Stretching out his hand that was trembling with anger, Zhao Xiaofeng pointed to Wang Hongying's nose and said: "You don't have to reverse black and white, who is a mother-in-law who shouts every day that his daughter-in-law is a broom star." As far as you black-hearted, you have to occupy the house when you split the family, and my daughter's separation is the right thing. ”
"In the past, my daughter went out alone, and she was at a loss with you, so she didn't dare to fight or grab anything. Now that I'm here, I'm my daughter's confidence, your family owes my daughter, and you hand me over a lot of money. ”
Wang Hongying directly slapped Zhao Xiaofeng's hand away: "What do you owe?" I raised my son so big, I didn't ask them for pension money, it's already my good, what else do you want? ”
Zhao Xiaofeng: "The bride price money, whoever marries a daughter-in-law can't get a penny, it's the money for the mother's mother." ”
Wang Hongying sneered: "I thought Su Qizhen had found someone to support her, but I didn't expect it to be a woman who sold her daughter." It's a pity, your daughter is an upside-down money-loser, worthless, and you raised it for nothing. ”
Someone stood up for himself, Su Qi still looked like he was watching the excitement, and when he said this, he attacked himself, and Su Qi was no longer a spectator: "There is Shoucheng in the middle, I have to call you a mother." are all mothers, do you think your girl's in-laws shout at your girl's broom star every day, losing money, do you feel comfortable listening? ”
Wang Hongying rolled her eyes: "My girl won't be a daughter-in-law who is in a hurry." ”
There are some things in the original body that have been overdone, and now no matter what Su Ji says, his impression in the eyes of others cannot be erased.
Zhao Xiaofeng was also annoyed by Su Qi's lack of self-love, but today he had already said this, and if he went back like this, he really couldn't swallow this breath.
"I'm telling you, three-legged toads are hard to find, two-legged men do. Don't think that Su Ji is young and ignorant, you can fool the past. You don't know what you can give me about the bride price, the marriage money, and the money for changing your mouth, and if you don't know it, if you don't have a penny, the day will not pass. ”
Although the marriage with Yan Shoucheng is now in name only, Su Ji has no plans to end this matter for the time being.
opened his mouth to let Zhao Xiaofeng stop, but Wang Hongying spoke first: "But okay, I'll wait for this day." You don't want to get a penny of this money, you can take this person away if you want to, my family doesn't have this daughter-in-law, and I can still marry. ”
When the words fell, Yan Fusheng's voice sounded in the courtyard, shouting that Wang Hongying had gone home.
In this era, divorce hurts women far more than men, Wang Hongying was sure that Su Ji didn't have the courage, turned his head into the courtyard, and closed the door heavily.
I didn't want a bride price, and I was ridiculed.
Zhao Xiaofeng nodded Su Qi's forehead: "Look at what you're doing, a good girl just sticks it to others for nothing." ”
What the original body left for himself was a mess, Su Qi sighed, and continued: "I said a long time ago, there is no way to ask for a bride price, and you still have to suffer this anger." ”
Zhao Xiaofeng is not a submissive master.
If Wang Hongying invited herself in today and discussed this matter with peace of mind, Zhao Xiaofeng might be better to speak.
Wang Hongying's attitude stimulated Zhao Xiaofeng's ambition.
Su Qi didn't know what Zhao Xiaofeng was thinking, and was still persuading: "You also saw it, you want food, I can't even earn my own rations, and now I don't even have anyone in the village who can help, so you have to stop thinking about it." ”
"If you ask for money, I don't have any money, the bride price money, my mother-in-law can't give it, what about you, stay here for two days, or go back and find a way."
Zhao Xiaofeng glanced at Su Qi, and the idea of discovering this girl was also hard, and she saw her purpose at a glance. But this matter has just begun, even the mother-in-law who is so torturous has survived herself, Wang Hongying, sooner or later, she will be obedient by herself.
