"Yo," Mrs. Li laughed, "What about your Xiuyun who wants ten catties of rice with two oil bottles?" I can't tell you that. ”

"The seven pounds?" Ye Chunhua wrung her eyebrows, "If it doesn't work, it's five catties......"

Mrs. Li sighed, "Hey, then I'll help you talk about it, but in front of you, five catties may not be negotiated, now there is a shortage of rice in the countryside, and the food stamps are not easy to get, and the bachelor would rather find a widow than find a wife, especially Xiuyun, who has a son, is easy to get into trouble." ”

There is a saying in the countryside, "It is better to marry a widow than to have a wife", and a wife is a woman whose husband is still alive but remarries someone else.

Since people in the village have not obtained a license to get married, holding a banquet and inviting a few relatives is considered to be married, so marrying a wife can easily cause conflicts.

For example, the woman said that she was divorced, and as soon as she got married, her ex-husband suddenly came to the door, and said that she was not leaving, and then there was a conflict......

This kind of thing is quite common in rural areas.

Ye Chunhua was anxious to take the more than 200 yuan in her eldest daughter's hand and let her remarry, so she said to the matchmaker: "Then don't want rice, don't want any bride price!" You can help ask who has a daughter-in-law who is missing. ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Mrs. Li was a little confused.

"Can you not be in a hurry? I have a lot of family, and she suddenly brought her two sons, and I can't afford to raise three more mouths at once. Ye Chunhua said.

Mrs. Li didn't doubt it anymore, "Okay, I'll tell you as soon as I have news." ”

For a while, except for Fang Xiuyun who was still in the dark, her brother and sister-in-law all knew about her mother going to find a matchmaker.

"It's still a mother's way, haha, if the sister-in-law takes the child back to Baihe Village, the money will still be from the Jiang family, but if she is divorced by her husband and remarried to someone else, the money will be ours!"

Looking at her sister-in-law's happy appearance, Zhao Xiaolan felt a little puzzled, walked up to her, lowered her voice and asked, "Sister, didn't she get divorced?" ”

"As long as she tells the story of her hot fight with the educated youth back then, will her husband still want her? It's no wonder if you don't divorce her immediately! Zhang Yingzi said.

"Huh?" Zhao Xiaolan blurted out, "Isn't this a bit too much?" ”

"Excessive?"

asked rhetorically, Zhang Yingzi said unhappily: "Don't say that the whole family seems to have the most conscience!" You don't want to think about it, if it weren't for marrying you, would our family need to build another house? ”

"You live in the new house, not me......"

"You don't live in a new house, but the house we lived in before has been vacated for you to live in!"

Mentioning these things, Zhang Yingzi was furious, gritted his teeth and said: "The whole family recruited Di Dad to be the most honest, obviously his father and mother had to build a new house, but the list owed to the carpenter and plasterer was all written in his own name."

At the beginning, my father also said that he would get dividends at the end of the year, and there would be a lot of money left after paying off the arrears, but what was the result? If we pay off the more than 100 yuan we owe, then our family won't have to eat in the second half of the year!

It's not that I said, don't save face if you don't have money, my father and mother are all virtuous, and I spoke well at first, and finally let's wipe our butts. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice behind her rang out, "Is that enough?" ”

Ye Chunhua had a calm face and walked to the side of her eldest daughter-in-law, "Aren't your father-in-law and I trying to figure out a way?" Xiuyun has more than 200 yuan in her hand, as long as she gets the money, isn't it easy to repay the money? ”

Zhao Xiaolan, who was still a little sympathetic to Fang Xiuyun before, immediately changed her position and agreed.

"Alright! In short, you should be tight-lipped, don't let Xiuyun know about this! Ye Chunhua said.

Fang Xiuyun didn't know anything about her mother's family's thoughts, and was still complaining to her son at this time, "Your father is too desperate to save face, how many days have passed, why hasn't he come to pick us up?" He's a ......."

"Mother, can't we go back by ourselves?" Tugen shook her mother's hand, "I don't want to stay here, grandpa is so fierce, he only eats me a sweet potato every day, saying that children can't eat too much." ”

"I don't want to stay here either, there's no pork here at all!" The root of the tree said angrily, "The chicken in the yard won't let us eat it, I'm so angry!" ”

Fang Xiuyun couldn't pull it off, feeling that if she just took her two sons back, how could Tree Root Daddy listen to her words again in the future?

"Wait, your father will definitely come to pick us up soon, two days at most, no, one day at most!" She assured.

Early in the morning, Shen Su'e was busy in the kitchen, making hot sauerkraut pancakes with white flour and sauerkraut, wrapped in oil paper and handed to her eldest son.

"These are eaten on the road, and when they arrive at your daughter-in-law's mother's house, you talk well and coax people back, do you hear?"

"Mother, I know."

Shen Su'e explained a lot of words, and said to the five supersons on the side: "You too, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't say something that offends people!" Also, take good care of Lingbao for me on the way! If she bumbles into it......"

"Gee, how many times have you said that?" Wu Chaozi said impatiently, "Mother, you put ten thousand hearts, the village of my sister-in-law's family is not far away, it will be there in an hour, don't say that we seem to be going far away." ”

Shen Su'e didn't want to nag anymore, "Okay, okay, let's go quickly." ”

She sent her son and daughter out of the door, and Xiao Lingbao waved her little hand, "Goodbye, mother, my eldest brother and fifth brother and I will be back soon." ”

"Okay, Lingbao, goodbye."

After speaking, she felt her right eyelid skip a beat, and hurriedly said to her husband: "Ouch, I don't think something is right, I always feel unsure, why don't you go and call Da Dongzi and them back?" What's going on? ”

"Didn't you ask Da Dongzi to pick up his daughter-in-law yesterday?"

"Yes, but my right eyelid is beating so much, don't you say that the left is good and the right is bad? I feel like something is going to happen. Shen Su'e rubbed her eyelids and said.

Jiang Qingshan smiled: "Who told you that the left is good and the right is bad?" It's obviously the left and the right, and the right eyelid jumps is a good thing, Da Dongzi will definitely be able to bring back the root mother today, I guess she must want to come back! ”

"That's right, how can my mother's family let the married girl live for too long? Maybe she's already burying her right now. ”

On the way to Fangjia Village, Lingbao was held by her eldest brother for a while, and her fifth brother for a while, for fear that she would fall.

"Lingbao is tired? Otherwise, I'll carry you, right? After walking for about forty minutes, after a long steep slope, Wu Chaozi gasped and asked.

The little milk baby shook her head, "I'm not tired......"

As soon as she spat out three words, a strange sound of "Xi Xi Suo" sounded from the woods not far away.

Before Da Dongzi and Wu Chaozi could react, a big wild boar came out of the forest and hit it straight in the direction of Lingbao.
