In the middle of summer in July, the sun is blazing.

It was almost noon, and there were only two or three sparse people walking slowly on the road in Qingyuan Village.

But there was a woman who was in a hurry, and she looked very anxious.

The woman walked to a house in the middle of the village and raised her hand to fasten the knocker.

"Knock knock."

"Who's coming?" A slightly older voice rang out in the room.

Hearing the voice, the woman said loudly through the door: "Aunt Lu, I am Liu Xiaomo, and I have a great happy event." ”

Squeak!

The door opened, and a gray-haired, old-looking man appeared.

She is the aunt Lu in the woman's mouth, the Li family.

Li looked at Liu Xiaomoth with a surprised expression, "Little Moth, why are you here, what is the big joy in my family now?" ”

Liu Xiaomoth waved his handkerchief and looked at Li with a smile, "Yes, yes." Not only that, but it is also a great joy. Aunt Lu, I, tell Mianniang that I am here. ”

Li's face sank, "My Mianniang doesn't marry, you can go." ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to close the door, but Liu Xiaomo's eyes quickly blocked it, "Eh, Aunt Lu, you listen to me first!" The person I want to tell you is a Xiucai, as long as Mianniang agrees to marry, he is willing to support you and Uncle Lu with Mianniang. ”

Lee's face was full of disbelief, but her hand closed the door no longer moved.

"Liu Xiaomo, everyone in Mianniang's situation knows that they are willing to marry?"

"Yo! Aunt Lu, look at what you said, if Xiucai wants to be willing, can I go to your door? Liu Xiaomo waved his handkerchief again and said with a smile on his face.

Li's eyebrows were furrowed, obviously still not believing Mrs. Liu's words.

"Woman, who's coming?"

Liu Xiaomo's eyes lit up when he heard the voice, and without waiting for Li to speak, he took the lead in standing on tiptoe and stretching his neck and shouting towards the inner room: "Uncle Lu, it's me, little moth." ”

"Moth, why are you here?" Uncle Lu walked quickly to the door and asked suspiciously.

Liu Xiaomoth is not a matchmaker, come to his house to talk about matchmaking?

Sure enough, the next moment he heard Liu Xiaomoth say happily: "Uncle Lu, great joy!" Zhang Xiucai from Yunzhong Village took a fancy to your Mianniang and asked me to be a matchmaker. ”

The expression on Lu Zheng's face paused, turned his head to look at his old woman, and sighed when he saw her look of disbelief and unwillingness, "Little moth, you come in first!" ”

"Huh, good!" Liu Xiaomoth happily responded. Uncle Lu opened his mouth, there is a door to this matter.

The old man spoke, and the Li family couldn't stop him anymore, so he reluctantly let Liu Xiaomoth enter the door.

The three of them walked to the hall and sat down, and Liu Xiaomoth began to spit and fly, talking non-stop.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, you have all heard of Zhang Xiucai from Yunzhong Village. At the age of sixteen, he was selected for Xiucai, and he wanted to gain fame, so he delayed his family affairs. However, he was unlucky, repeatedly failed to make the list, and now he is thirty years old and has not yet married a wife. Now, Zhang Xiucai has also rested, and just wants to find a daughter-in-law to live a good life. He inquired about Mianniang's situation and found me to make peace. ”

Lu Zheng and Li Shi glanced at each other after hearing this, and they both understood each other's thoughts.

Lu Zheng felt that since someone wanted to marry Mianniang, the man's conditions were also good, as long as Mianniang was willing, he couldn't delay others.

Li is unwilling, she and the old man's only son died a year ago, and now only the old couple and Mianniang, the daughter-in-law, depend on each other, if Mianniang gets married, the family doesn't know what to be quiet.

Seeing the hesitation of the two of them, Liu Xiaomoth continued: "Zhang Xiucai said that as long as Mianniang is willing to marry, he will work with Mianniang to send the two pensioners to the end. Zhang Xiucai also said that there should be no less etiquette, dowry, and banquet, but he is serious about marrying a bride. ”

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, don't blame me for speaking straight, Mianniang's current situation, if there is a talented man who is willing to marry her into the door, it is a great thing that you can't find it with a lantern."

As soon as Liu Xiaomo's words fell, Lu Zheng and Li's faces were ugly for a moment, but they also knew in their hearts that what Liu Xiaomoth said was indeed the truth.

Mianniang is twenty-one years old this year, and she is a widow again. Although they encouraged widows to remarry, their reputation was not as good as that of the yellow flower girl. Now Zhang Xiucai of Yunzhong Village is willing to marry three media and six hired seriously, which is indeed a good thing.

After Lu Zheng figured it out, he sighed, and was about to ask Mianniang what she meant first, when a slightly weak but unusually firm voice sounded outside the hall.

"I'm not married."

When the three of them heard the voice, they all looked towards the source, and a young woman in a white coarse kudzu dress appeared before them.

This person is the Mianniang mentioned by the three of them, Tang Mian.

Tang Mian has a goose egg face, although his facial features are not very amazing, but in the countryside, he is relatively outstanding.

With an outstanding appearance and a good figure, Tang Mian has attracted the envy of many people since she was a child, chewing her rights and wrongs behind her back, and also attracting a lot of uneasy and kind-hearted people.

If Mianniang remarries, she will be able to talk less. When she met an uneasy and kind-hearted person, there was also a man in front of her.

When Liu Xiaomoth saw Tang Mian, she walked up to her in three steps and two steps, took her hand and said quickly: "Ouch, Mianniang, if you miss this village, you won't have this store." ”

Tang Mian looked at Wen Rou and had no opinion, but his words were very firm, "Mrs. Liu, you don't have to say it anymore, I won't marry Zhang Xiucai." No matter how good Zhang Xiucai's conditions are, I don't want to marry. ”

"Ouch! Mianniang, why are you so stubborn! Liu Xiaomoth looked distressed and persuaded: "Although Zhang Xiucai's family background is not rich, he is always a Xiucai, now he is enlightening the children in Yunzhong Village, collecting some restraints, don't worry about lack of food and clothing, you won't be sad after you get married."

Coupled with the fact that he has a fairly thin amount of noodles in the village, you don't have to worry about those who chew the root of your tongue and are unkind to you. Although we are not in the same village, we are also old acquaintances who have known each other for many years, I won't lie to you, Zhang Xiucai's conditions are indeed very good. ”

Hearing this, the coldness in Tang Mian's eyes suddenly appeared. On the surface, Zhang Xiucai's conditions are really good.

But in fact, Zhang Xiucai is a womanizer, and the reason why he didn't show it was just because he was worried that he would have a bad reputation and would not be able to say goodbye.

He has always wanted to marry a woman with outstanding appearance, but the girls in the flower season think he is too old to marry. Zhang Xiucai chose to choose and chose her.

In the last life, after she got married, she also lived a period of harmony between husband and wife, and Zhang Xiucai also taught her to read a lot of words and read her a lot of books. Unexpectedly, after only half a year, Zhang Xiucai's freshness passed, and he went to the Qinglou to look for flowers and ask willows.

Later, Zhang Xiucai was hooked by the woman in the Qinglou and became addicted to gambling, and he used all the money in the family to gamble, and finally owed a butt of gambling debts.

She not only has to work hard to support her family, but also pays off her gambling debts to Zhang Xiucai. Because her father-in-law and mother-in-law felt sorry for her, they gave all their savings to Zhang Xiucai.

Zhang Xiucai tasted the sweetness, and found his father-in-law and mother-in-law again and again, and squeezed out the money of the two old men. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were tired and sick, but they had no money for medical treatment, and finally died.

Thinking of this, Tang Mian only felt a tingling in his heart.

Liu Xiaomoth patted Tang Mian's hand and continued: "Don't think sister-in-law is straightforward, Zhang Xiucai doesn't mind that you married once, not even a yellow flower girl, and you still have a pair of burdens..."

These words made Lu Zheng and Li's expressions darken, and Tang Mian shouted with a cold face when he saw this, "That's enough." ”

Liu Xiaomoth pretended not to hear, "Although my sister-in-law's words are not very popular, they ....."

Tang Mian picked up the broom by the pillar and hit Liu Xiaomo, "Let's go, let's go, hurry up, I said I won't marry, I won't marry." ”

Lu Zheng and Li were stunned by Tang Mian's sudden movements, "Mianniang...."

"Ouch, Mianniang, what are you doing, why are you doing it!" Liu Xiaomoth shouted while dodging.

Although Liu Xiaomoth was hiding in embarrassment, she still didn't forget her purpose today, "Mianniang, this woman still has to find a man and have a child, so that she can rely on, Zhang Xiu is a good choice!" ”

"Enough, get out, I'm not married." Tang Mian held a broom and hit Liu Xiaomoth fiercely.

In her life, she will never repeat the mistakes of the past, no matter who it is, she will not marry. She wants to stay in the Lu family to be filial to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, so that they can enjoy their old age in peace.

Liu Xiaomo's eyes widened, and he hurriedly hid outside the door, "Tang Mian, you don't know the hearts of good people." ”

Tang Mian smiled coldly, "Get out!" ”

Then the door was slammed shut, and the house finally quieted down.
