The Zhang family really didn't want to marry the butcher's daughter, which was not as good as Yuemingzhu, so he had to ask the matchmaker to introduce her.

But the news of Yue Pengfei's engagement and resignation is like having wings, and many people know about it, even if they don't know, the matchmaker can't hide this major situation when she introduces it, and after telling the woman's family truthfully, no one is willing.

Just imagine, there is only one widow in the family, no permanent birth, no money-making work, just a child's identity, marry the past to drink the northwest wind, and have withdrawn from the family, and just retired from the relatives in a hurry to say kiss, which person with good conditions is willing to marry their daughter to suffer in the past.

Seeing that his son was about to be bound, the Zhang family had no choice but to agree to look at the butcher's daughter.

When it came to the day of seeing each other, Zhang took his reluctant son to the teahouse.

Yue Pengfei looks handsome, and has a bookish atmosphere, Ding Xiuzhen, the daughter of the butcher's family, fell in love with it at a glance, and the Ding butcher and his wife are also very satisfied, when it comes to such an uncle, they have a bright face.

Ding Xiuzhen looks ordinary, doesn't look like much, nothing special.

Looking at each other is just going through the motions, as long as it's the same.

So the relationship between the two families was thus settled.

Ding Butcher is a bold person, the matchmaker said about the situation of Yue Pengfei's family before, knowing that Yue Pengfei's family is so poor, since he is engaged, the son-in-law is half a son, he has no son, only Ding Xiuzhen's daughter, and he hopes that his son-in-law can have a bright future.

The two families were engaged, and they didn't ask Yue Pengfei's family to give a dowry money, not to mention, but also posted twenty taels of silver.

With these twenty taels of silver, it can be regarded as a solution to Zhang's urgent need, no matter what, the silver for his son's study is available.

Ding Butcher kills pigs and sheep all the year round, although he tries to put on a kind face, there is still a murderous aura on his face, Zhang is a little scared, and always feels that Ding Butcher has a smell of blood, she is afraid and a little disgusted at the same time, and feels that Ding Xiuzhen is really not worthy of her son.

But now I have to rely on other people's sons to continue studying, and I have to work hard to put on a kind mother-in-law, and my attitude towards Ding Xiuzhen is much better than that of Yue Mingzhu before.

Ding Butcher and his family were satisfied, and felt that it didn't matter if they had some money, as long as their daughter was good.

Zhang just breathed a sigh of relief, and something happened again.

On the first day of the village, ditches were dug in the village, and men, women, and children all went into battle spontaneously, and every family was out of the house, only Zhang's mother and son were nowhere to be seen.

The village is not big, but it is not small, and the neighbors can see at a glance who is missing.

"Hey, why didn't Pengfei come here, don't be sick."

"What's sick, I heard that people deliberately didn't come, saying that they were a woman's family, and their son was going to study again, in short, they didn't have time, so they didn't come."

"What, have you seen Grandma Liu, people are so old, they can't dig the soil, and they still take their little grandchildren to carry the soil in a basket, besides, we are not women, we are not here anyway, Pengfei and his mother have fewer arms or legs than us."

"But no, Pengfei is not small to say, if this is not for studying, he is also a good hand at working at home."

"This person is different, if you want to study, Yue Dashan's third son Mingxuan also reads, that child knows that he has to go to study during the day, and he carries a shovel up the mountain early in the morning and digs for a while before leaving, if you want to say that this Aunt Wang will educate the child, look at how good Mingxuan's child is."

"Let's work quickly, what's the matter with Guan Pengfei, without her going up the mountain to dig a ditch, we won't be able to drink water yet, we are not so delicate, dig well as soon as possible, and live a good life as soon as possible."

There was a lot of talk about it, and there was a lot of talk about it, and some of them even said it very ugly.

No matter what kind of person Zhang's is, as the saying goes, Qin Hui still has three good friends, and there are always one or two who are good friends with her in the village.

Zhang couldn't lie down at home.

She has always felt that she is stronger than the women in the village, but the man died early, and now let this group of long-tongued women talk about themselves like this, and talk about themselves, even Peng Fei brought it, and compared it with Yue Mingxuan, how could her son be inferior to Yue Mingxuan.

Therefore, even though she was weak, she went up the mountain.

Zhang is not pretending, she really has no strength, she has never done any strength work, her body is not as strong as ordinary women, these days she is exhausted, it is like having a serious illness.

"I don't go up the mountain to dig a ditch, I know this is a big thing in the village, although my family has no land, I should also contribute to the village, but my body is really not angry, Peng Fei wants to go up the mountain, I am afraid of delaying his study, so I told him that I went up the mountain to dig a ditch, but I didn't let him come, everyone blames me, don't blame a child." As he spoke, he began to cry.

It seems to be really strange and pitiful, in fact, the orphan and widow are really pitiful, everyone knows that her family is having a hard time, and is busy comforting Zhang: "We all know that you have a hard time, so we point to Pengfei to fight for it, no one blames you, don't worry about it." ”

There are also people who don't eat her set, "Who hasn't had a hard time these days, Pengfei can still study, there are many children in the village who are so poor that they can't even drink porridge, people are much stronger than you, and they use you to be pitiful, and the pity is also made by yourself, what a good girl Mingzhu is, how much did Mingzhu's family help them before, and they didn't recognize anyone when they were admitted to Tongsheng, and they were not afraid of evil, and they ruined Mingzhu's reputation in vain." ”

Zhang was so angry that he wanted to have a break with that person, but he really had no confidence, because that person was telling the truth, and the matter of retiring from Yue Mingzhu was indeed her family's fault on the surface.

The villagers are ignorant, is the moon pearl as compatible with their own son, and the moon pearl deserves to retreat.

The ditches are all divided, one person is responsible for one section, and when they are done, they go home.

Zhang's came late, but the work was not given to her, everyone had their own work to do, no one could help her, Zhang's had never done this kind of rough work, plus the body was really uncomfortable, seeing that the sky was almost dark and digging not half of it, tired and bloody, the weather was hot, and she was about to faint from exhaustion.

At this time, Yue Pengfei had come home from school and found that his mother was not at home, so he asked the neighbors to find out that he had gone up the mountain to dig a ditch, so he could only go up the mountain to find his mother.

Zhang saw that his son was going up the mountain, and he was worried that his son would be hungry, so he had to speed up.

Yue Pengfei saw that his mother couldn't finish digging for a while, so he took out the book and sat on the side to read, without the slightest intention of helping his mother dig, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

The villagers pointed and pointed, what kind of son is this, he is still a scholar, the books have been read to the stomach of the dog, seeing his own mother tired and tired of digging there, he can still read calmly on the side, such a person will not be a good official when he becomes an official in the future, and he can't even see the suffering of his mother, where can he see the suffering of the people.
