Chapter 407, does Ling'er want to recruit a son-in-law
Looking at all this in a trance, I don't know when this was my previous life.
Everything is so realistic, as if she is a person in the game, everything is familiar and strange, everyone is familiar, but the plot is completely unfamiliar.
Oh, she heard it, there was a voice in her mother's house, it was Mama Lin's voice.
Qingling and Shi Shiran entered the house, but saw her mother looking at Mother Lin anxiously:
"Nurse, where is Aunt Yue? Is she back? It's been this hour, why is there no news yet? ”
It was her mother, she looked haggard and weak, her expression was anxious, her clothes were plain and unpretentious, and she looked like she was nearly fifty years old, and her head was already mixed with wisps of white hair.
He only wears an ordinary green hosta on his head, only gold cloves on his ears, and only a string of Bodhi beads on his wrist, which has been rubbed into jade.
It's not that she can't afford to wear it, she just wants to live a low-key and cautious life, and she's not in the mood to dress up.
Mother Lin is even older, as if she has reached the end of her life, her hair is gray, her face is full of wrinkles, and her expression is sad.
Qingling felt very uncomfortable, they were not good at first sight, obviously there was no shortage of money to spend, there were Zhuangzi shops, and they had such a good courtyard, and they lived a leisurely pastoral life, why did they still have a bad life?
Except for the Lu family and the Du family, who else could force her to be like this?
"Madame, don't worry, Aunt Yue is a dedicated person, and she knows that the thank you gift we gave must be not thin, and she must want to make this matter together, it will be too early, Madame is too anxious."
After speaking, he sighed sadly, paused for a while and said helplessly:
"Miss is not bad at all her virtues, and she is very kind and sensible, and she will have a rich dowry in the future, and she will not be able to eat it all her life, in this small Yunzhou, what kind of husband is she not worthy?
The first two families are indeed relatively high, but people dislike that Miss's biological mother is an outer room, and you have gone out again, and you have to say that you can't climb up to the Hou's concubine, in fact, you just dislike it, and we can't help it.
Later, the lady lowered the conditions again and again, as long as the family style is positive, as long as it is the same age as the young lady, as long as the character is upright and gentle and progressive, it is okay to be an ordinary scholarly family or a squire's house.
But none of them can say it, and they repeatedly say that they can't climb high, isn't this disgust? I still dislike Miss, they are also worthy!
It's not that the old man is not used to be pinched by the Lu family, these people are also afraid of the Lu family, otherwise they and the young lady would have burned high incense for eight lifetimes, and they would dare to refuse us! ”
Qing Ling was very surprised, was the situation of his mother and Du Linghui so difficult in his previous life? No wonder she went to Beijing to marry Ning Jiangsong, no wonder her mother died young.
Linghui is the real daughter of the Hou Mansion, even if she is a named concubine, she is also born to her scumbag father, and it will be her biological brother Du Zhuoyuan who will be the lord in the future, and she can't even marry the squire's family?
What is a Squire? To put it bluntly, he is the rich man of the township!
Sure enough, my mother shook her head helplessly: "But people just refused, and they said that they couldn't climb high, but in fact, they just disliked it, so I was forced to have no choice but to recruit a son-in-law for Ling'er." ”
"Madame, have you thought about it, do you really want to recruit a son-in-law for Miss? Miss hasn't been in time yet, so don't be in such a hurry. ”
Mother Lin's face was full of unwillingness.
Lightly paused, Du Linghui has not yet arrived? Suddenly, my heart was like a knife of hatred.
In this way, the mother in the previous life was only about thirty-six or seventeen at this time, but she was already haggard and aged like this, looking more than ten years older than her actual age, like nearly half a hundred years old!
Even if it was just in a dream, she still couldn't stand it in distress, and made another note in her heart for Du Zhiqian and Du Baoyi.
The mother's expression became firm:
"Since Ling'er was twelve years old, I began to look for relatives for her.
It's been nearly three years, we put down our figure and face, took the initiative to inquire and search, took the initiative to send people to find the door, and lowered the standard again and again, but we have been repeatedly rejected and frustrated, and we have lost all face.
He also said that he couldn't climb high, obviously because he was afraid of the Lu family, and he was worried that marrying us would bring trouble or affect their future.
Recruiting a son-in-law doesn't sound good, but it can prevent Ling'er's future and fate from being in the hands of others, and she doesn't have to marry someone else's family to be wronged.
Although that child is just a child, he is handsome and polite, studious and progressive, and his family background is poor.
This is our only chance, and if it doesn't work out this time, I really can't think about it.
What kind of family can the Lu family promise her? It can be seen from the succession that she only wants to humiliate and suppress our mother and daughter, and does not allow us to live comfortably at all.
Zhiqian obviously loved Ling'er so much before, I don't believe that he has no way to deal with the Lu family, he is ruthless and cowardly and incompetent!
I have heard that many noble ladies in Beijing are used as concubines or stepdaughters, specifically to find those relatives who have a bright face and are beneficial to the family, but are actually very unbearable inside.
These poor girls got married, all of them suffered and suffered all the grievances, but no one was in charge, and some even died, and outsiders praised their mother-in-law or stepmother for their virtue.
Father-in-law and Du Feng are gone, no one supports us, and none of the patriarchs and clan elders are willing to uphold justice.
The Lu family will only go more than those noble ladies, and I am so worried that Ling'er will fall to that point in the future, so I would rather recruit a son-in-law.
When Zhiqian left our mother and daughter, he said that he could recruit a son-in-law for Ling'er to provide for me in the future, and the family knew about it, and he would not be too obstructed.
Although recruiting a son-in-law is also a kind of humiliation, but there is no face, but there is a lining, and Ling'er will not suffer any grievances.
If it's decided this time, I'll find an excuse to get married directly, anyway, she's almost over, so let's do it first! ”
Qingling clenched her fists, obviously she was just in a dream, obviously it was just a previous life, why was she so uncomfortable?
It's not Lu Qingniang who can't get along with them, it's mainly Du Baoyi, a little poisonous snake, although Du Zhiqian just let it go, but he is also shameless and selfish to the extreme.
As for the poisonous oath that the father and daughter made to their grandfather, hehe, if they believed in karma, how could they do such a thing?
Hmph, then artificially create retribution for them, and make them think that it is a curse!
Mother Lin sighed, and did not object again, whether it was a son-in-law, she would stay in her own house in the future, and no one would dare to give her grievances.
Although she didn't want her to be anxious and uncomfortable, she still asked the question in her heart:
"Even if it is to recruit a son-in-law, you still have to ask for the consent of the master, no, it should be the consent of the Lu family.
What if the Lu family has to push Mrs. and Miss to the extreme, and has to find an unbearable family affair for Miss, not even a son-in-law? ”
Qingling saw her mother hanging her head in a dejected manner, and the whole person seemed to have lost her spirit, raised her head for a while, and said with a firm expression:
"I have a way, but I can't do it, I can only use that trick!"
