Seven-year-old Chu Qing saw that it was the second grandfather who asked, so he quickly stood up, wiped a handful of snot and replied: "My father went to the ground, what happened to the second grandfather?" ”

The elder of the two clans did not answer, glanced at the distant nephew, and asked, "What about your sister?" ”

"My sister and brother went to carry the water, and they will be back soon." Chu Qing said and wiped his snot again.

The elder of the second clan frowned, turned around and asked the fourth cousin, "Do you want to stay and take a look?" ”

"Of course!" The elders of the four clans glanced down and sat down on a large smooth tree root.

He wants to see with his own eyes whether this female doll is really suitable.

Chu Qing obediently felt that when he saw that the two elders were not leaving, he hurriedly went back to the house and moved a bench for them to sit.

The elder of the four clans nodded and asked, "Your name is Qing'er, right, what is your sister's name?" ”

Chu Qing: "My sister's name is Chu Chu. ”

"Chu Chu, the name is good, your father told her that her in-laws didn't have it?" The elders of the four clans continued to ask.

Chu Qing blinked and shook his head blankly, "I don't know." ”

Elder of the Four Clans: "Then how old is your sister this year?" ”

This Chu Qing knew: "My sister is fifteen years old, and my father said that when my sister celebrates her birthday, I will go to the town to buy a piece of cloth and cut new clothes for her." ”

The elder of the four clans stroked his beard and thought for a while and asked, "Qing'er is seven years old this year, do you want to study?" ”

Chu Qing blinked and looked at the fourth grandfather blankly.

At this moment, Chu Chu and his eldest brother came back with a large bucket of water.

Seeing that the two clan elders were sitting at the door of their own house, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"Sister, you're back, the second grandfather is looking for you." Chu Qing happily ran over to help with the bucket.

Chu Chu nodded at the two clan elders, and sent the bucket into the stove room with the eldest brother, and then came out to greet the two clan elders, "Second grandfather, fourth grandfather." ”

The elders of the four clans saw that the female doll behaved in a moderate manner, and she was generous, and she couldn't help but bow her head.

I saw the red spot on her forehead again, it was only the size of a finger's belly, and as long as she covered it slightly with bangs, she couldn't see anything at all.

And this female doll has a beautiful face and clear eyes, and at first glance she is a sensible and reasonable child, and the elders of the four clans are more satisfied.

stood up and said to Chu Chu: "Chu Chu, when your father comes back, let him go to Chujia Village, and the patriarch will talk to him about something." ”

Chu Chu was surprised, but didn't ask anything, and responded softly: "Okay, I'll tell him when my father comes back." ”

The elder of the four clans went back with his hands behind his back, and asked the elder of the two clans as he walked: "Second brother, how many years has Chu Laoshi's mother-in-law been gone?" ”

The elder of the second clan thought for a while: "It's about four or five years, and the young boy will leave at that time, and the girl doll will take care of him while doing things." ”

"What's going on with that kid named Brother Yan in his family?" The elders of the four clans are more concerned about this.

Everyone in the village knew that the eldest son of Chu Laoshi's family was not his own, but the oil bottle brought by his second mother-in-law.

Speaking of which, the situation of Chu Laoshi's family is indeed a bit complicated, so Chu Chu's such good girls are all fifteen years old, and there is no matchmaker to come to the door.

"Chu Yan can have the surname of Chu Laoshi, so naturally he recognizes Chu Laoshi as his father, and he is not a child husband for Chu Chu as rumored outside."

The elder of the second clan naturally knew what the fourth cousin wanted to say, so he explained it to him.

Chu Chu was born to Chu Laoshi's first wife, and when Chu Chu was three years old, his ex-wife fell ill and died.

Three years later, when Chu Laoshi went to work, he brought back a fleeing woman, who was also leading a five-year-old boy named Brother Yan.

Later, the woman gave birth to a son to Chu Laoshi, named Chu Qing. But unfortunately, the woman fell ill and died when Chu Qing was about two years old.

Since then, Chu Laoshi has become more reticent and refuses to remarry.

People in the village said that Chu Laoshi was a lonely widow who was a widow, and he didn't even treat his children very well.

The elder of the four clans nodded: "It's not as rumored." ”

He was also worried that Chu Laoshi had already given Chu Chu to that Chu Yan, in that case, it would be bullying to mention it again.

…

Jiang's family in Dongchen Village.

After sending off all their relatives, the Jiang family looked tired.

This marriage of his own family is called a grievance.

The son was injured, the bride was picked up, and the bride's family refused to leave the family, so they insisted on choosing a new girl to come over.

What is this called, I have never encountered it in the past, and it is simply hard to write.

Jiang Dalang and Zhou resolutely would not agree to this strange suggestion.

Dani has already cleaned up all the things in the eldest brother's new house, which were brought by the woman's family, and they have moved into the side room without leaving them, and will return them to the Chu family when they have time.

These include two red lacquered wooden boxes, two beddings, a dressing box, a toilet, a washbasin, a footbath and a bathtub for the woman's marriage.

Dani collected all the things in her own house, and handed them over to him to count when the eldest brother woke up.

I didn't know that Jiang Cheng hadn't woken up yet, and someone from the Chu family had come again.

This time, the Chu family came to a total of more than a dozen clansmen, as well as a few female dependents.

What made the Jiang family speechless the most was that they even brought a sedan chair.

The sedan chair stopped directly at the gate of Jiang Dalang's new house, and two strange matchmakers helped a petite bride get off the sedan chair.

Jiang Dalang was simply laughed angrily, "Patriarch Chu, what do you mean by this?" ”

The patriarch of Chu smiled and said: "My father-in-law, this is the most outstanding child of my Chu family, he is the same age as Ling Lang, and his appearance is definitely worthy of Ling Lang." ”

Turning his head to greet the girl with her hijab: "Chu Chu, come and meet your parents-in-law." ”

The two matchmakers hurriedly helped the girl forward and saluted.

The little girl was obedient, and Ying Ying bowed: "Chu Chu greets her father." ”

Zhou was so angry that he turned around and went back to the house.

Of course, she is not angry with that girl, but angry that the patriarch of the Chu family is too shameless.

The family has made it clear that they want to withdraw from their relatives and not change any brides, but the patriarch of Chu still sent people over.

Jiang Dalang also gritted his teeth secretly, and said in a deep voice: "Patriarch Chu, are you relying on the old man to sell the old and deceive me, and there is no one in the Jiang family?" ”

Patriarch Chu: "What the in-laws said, I also wanted to repair it for the two families, so I chose a proper child to come over." ”

Without waiting for Jiang Dalang to speak, the Chu patriarch said again: "Alas, if your family really doesn't want to, you might as well let this child stay and take care of Ling Lang first, and when Ling Lang recovers, you can send her home." This is my Chu family's apology, and my father-in-law doesn't have to shirk it. ”

Jiang Dalang refused: "What is this like, my son has someone to take care of, and the Chu patriarch doesn't have to bother, if you really feel sorry, please return my son's marriage letter and dowry." ”

He didn't want to be with Chu Jiaxu anymore, so he directly asked for a marriage letter and a dowry.

This time, the patriarch of Chu didn't say anything more, and beckoned the juniors next to him to bring the dowry and marriage letter, and presented them with both hands.

"There are a hundred and fifty taels of silver here. The thirty taels given by the relatives, as well as the eighty taels of dowry, and some fragments, I privately converted them into ten taels and added them, and the remaining thirty taels were the medical money for Ling Lang, and I also asked my father-in-law to look at it. ”

The posture of the Chu patriarch was very low, which made Jiang Dalang a little unhappy.

After taking the silver and the marriage certificate, and after making sure that it was correct, let Jiang Quan move to the house.

Jiang Quan and Dani took out the things that Chu Yan had married one by one and handed them over to the Chu patriarch.

The patriarch of Chu didn't say anything, and ordered the clansmen to take it, put it in the car, and prepare to take it back.

Then the patriarch of Chu said goodbye, and Jiang Dalang did not stay.

When the sedan chair and the mule carriage went away, the Jiang family finally breathed a sigh of relief and went home one after another.

Suddenly, they saw a petite girl standing at the gate of their house, wearing a bright red dress, which was not the substitute bride brought by the Chu patriarch.

"Why didn't you go back with them?" Dani couldn't help but ask.
