Chapter 471 Conflict

Miao made up her mind and immediately took action. After lunch, she told her husband and went to the Hu family alone.

Hu Miao wanted to go back, not because he was worried that his parents would disagree, but because he was worried that his parents would misunderstand his aunt's kindness and fear that his aunt would be wronged at his home.

Miao had no such concern. She was even more afraid that the people in Hujiazhuang would say something bad when they saw Hu Miao and would not let Hu Miao go back no matter what they said. They were also afraid that the Hu family would not say anything to her and pointed the finger at Hu Miao.

At this time, the Hu family did not go out to work and were gathering together to discuss "big things".

"Dad, mom, I just said that that matter is unreliable, and you did this! I think it would be better to bring Xiaomiao back and find a rich family to marry. I am waiting to ask for a wife!" Hu Lao Er, Hu Miao's second son, finally couldn't stand it after his sister went to his aunt's house for half a month and had no reply.

"Boy, what are you saying? My parents did this for you, otherwise the matchmaker would have been able to break the threshold of our family based on your girl's appearance." Xiao Miao slapped Hu Lao Er's head and said with regret.

Hu Laoer curled his lips and muttered, "You are stupid as Cong Ge'er's wife. Not to mention that the 100 acres of land is someone else's dowry, it is impossible to take it out and hand it over to the in-laws' family. Even if you really have a bad mind, can the other family agree? When the time comes, our family will still be in vain."

After hearing this, Xiao Miao was so angry that she wanted to hit someone again. Hu Lao Er hid over and stomped her feet and said, "It's not that you are useless. There are so many girls outside who don't like you. Look at Brother Cong, you can find a rich wife like a fool. You are not even as good as a fool."

Hu Lao Er rolled his eyes, pointed to his sister-in-law sitting next to his elder brother and said, "If you have the ability, please ask your elder brother to find a wife who will marry a hundred acres of land first. Didn't the sister-in-law marry naked and didn't even have a needle?"

Jiang, the wife of Mr. Hu, who has always been a transparent person in front of her parents-in-law, did not expect that she was shot while lying down. Her brother-in-law, who did not respect her at all, was disgusted with her, but she looked guilty and didn't say accusation.

Boss Hu was unhappy and slapped his palm on the table with missing legs, staring at his younger brother and said, "Don't you just talk, why are you clinging to your sister-in-law? Why are your sister-in-law sorry for you?"

"Why are you sorry for me? Humph, you have the nerve to ask!" Hu Lao Er was also angry, and stood up, spitting out the face of Boss Hu: "If your wife's wife hadn't asked for a 80-liang silver betrothal, and had emptied most of our family's assets, could I still not be able to marry a wife?"

As soon as these words were said, not only did the faces of the eldest son Hu and the couple change, but the faces of the old man Hu and Xiao Miao also looked ugly, and the eyes of the eldest daughter-in-law became a little cold.

Back then, Boss Hu met Jiang, and Boss Hu met the handsome and gentle Jiang family at first sight. However, there was a brother who had been married and a younger brother who had just been weaned. At that time, the Jiang family was poorer than the Hu family, so he hoped to get a betrothal from Jiang family so that he could repair a house and get a wife for his eldest son, so he spoke out loudly, asking for a betrothal of ten taels of silver.

In the general environment where marriage is usually only two or three taels of silver, the Jiang family’s ten taels of betrothal money was stunned by the Hu family. The Hu family refused the Jiang family without hesitation and wanted to see Boss Jiang.

As a result, Boss Hu was determined to marry Jiang, and he was making trouble at home and begging for death. The Hu family relied on his eldest son, but he didn't feel sorry for him when he saw that he was like this, so he finally compromised and emptied most of his family's fortune and married Jiang. Jiang was indeed as Hu Er said, as Hu family entered naked without even a needle.

It would be fine if this is the case. After two or three years after Jiang passed the family, he never got pregnant. When he looked for the doctor, he found that he was overworking at his parents' home and was in a very deficit. He had to take medicine to condition it.

After a while, the Hu family general saved enough money for Hu Laoer to marry a wife. Fortunately, after spending so much money, Jiang finally added a smart and lively fat boy to the Hu family last year.

For the sake of grandson, the Hu family gradually let go of their dissatisfaction with Jiang's family. However, Hu Laoer, who had never been able to marry a wife, complained about his elder brother and sister-in-law, thinking that it was not the two of them that they had to worry about him, and he had already lived a happy life with his wife and children. How could he be as discredited as he would when he went out now?

Jiang met his parents-in-law's cold face and thought to himself that it was not good. He pinched his son who was sleeping in his arms: "Wow--" The next moment, the whole room was filled with the sound of children crying.

When he heard that his baby grandson was crying, Old Man Hu and Xiao Miao felt very distressed. He didn't care about showing his face to Jiang and rushed up to coax his grandson. Xiao Miao even roared at Old Man Hu, "It's all your fault that you woke up Xiao Biao'er!"

When Hu Lao Er heard this, he rolled his eyes in anger: "Brother's voice is louder than me. Why don't you talk about him? He was born by you, I picked it up by you, right? Okay, I'm not as good as an outsider in this family. I'll leave, can't I leave?"

As he said that, he kicked over the already shaky table and rushed out angrily.

"You bastard are you thinking about it, right? Come back with me quickly..." Xiao Miao looked at the kicked table, and almost fainted from anger, cursing at Hu Lao Er's back.

Hu Laoer turned a deaf ear and walked out without looking back. He happened to meet Miao at the gate of the yard.

"Auntie, why are you here in this hot day?" Seeing Miao, Hu Lao Er asked with a angrily voice. He still respects this aunt who loves her very much.

"I'm here to find your parents." Miao did not miss the anger on her second nephew's face and said with concern: "What's wrong with you? Who is unhappy about you?"

It would be fine if he didn't ask, but when Hu Lao Er asked, his face turned stinky again: "Who can there be? It's not my parents yet! They kept bent on my elder brother and sister-in-law, and all the money at home was paid for them, but they just refused to marry me."

Miao listened to the complaints of her second nephew, and heard the curse from her sister coming from the room, and roughly guessed what happened. She was about to comfort her second nephew, but suddenly she thought of something and asked, "Do you really want to go to your wife?"

Hearing this question, Hu Laoer almost threw Miao a look at an idiot. Fortunately, I remember this was his aunt, so he endured the depression and said, "The village is like my age, and the children are running all over the ground."

Miao took two steps forward and whispered: "If you trust your aunt and want to get married as soon as possible, your aunt will give you a clear path, depending on whether you are willing to leave."

Hu Laoer's eyes lit up and he nodded wildly: "I'm willing, aunt, tell me quickly!" He had never doubted the authenticity of Miao's words. Compared to his biological parents, he still thought this aunt was more reliable.

Miao smiled, pulled Hu Lao Er to the corner of the wall, and slowly told her own way. Hu Lao Er's eyes became wider and wider. After Miao finished speaking, hesitated: "I can do nothing, can someone want me?"

In fact, he had long wanted to work in the big workshop in the town, but he was recruiting people who knew needlework and thread. He knew nothing about this and didn't even have the courage to go to the door to ask. He subconsciously felt that he wouldn't want him. Now that he had such an opportunity, he was moved.

That’s right, the method Miao said was to let Hu Laoer work in the workshop opened by Mangye in the town. The wages of the workshop are not low, and there are always hundreds of people in a month. If you work well, you will also have a reward at the end of the year. You can save a lot of money in a year, which is better than staying at home and staring at you, and you can’t make a single son.

Miao patted her second nephew's shoulder and encouraged her, "Why can't you? You are strong and your strength can always come in handy. If not, I will give up my old face and beg me to find a way to stuff you in."

Before the matter was done, Miao did not dare to say it too well.

She still knows this second nephew. She is a little stubborn, but she is a real person. She works so happily and easily, not that she is lazy. In the past, she went to the town to find work whenever the farm was slack, but Taoyuan Town is still too small, and there are many people looking for work, so she can't make much money throughout the year.

If the second nephew is not the material for work, she would not have come up with this idea. Otherwise, if the second nephew is not favored by the second nephew, or if the second nephew is lazy and unable to work hard, she, the old woman, will not be left behind.

Hu Lao Er rubbed his hands excitedly and said solemnly to Miao: "Auntie, then I'll ask you for this matter. I will bring you big meat for you during the holidays in the future and treat you as filial as your own mother!"

Everyone loves to hear nice words, but Miao comes here to do serious things, so naturally he won’t be overwhelmed by a few good words. She said to Hu Laoer: “You are my nephew, I will help you. I don’t want this big meat or something, but you have to promise me something.”

Hu Laoer was looking forward to a good life in marriage, and when he heard this, he patted his chest and said, "Auntie, just say anything, don't say one thing, even ten things I will respond to you."

Seeing that he was happy, Miao did not keep it in hiding, and directly expressed his request.

After hearing this, Hu Laoer hesitated and said, "Xiao Miao mentioned this before, but her parents didn't agree. Now Xiao Miao is going to say kissing her, so her parents are afraid they won't agree."

Miao asked with a smile: "Why do your parents disagree? Are you afraid that Miaoer, a girl, will suffer losses in her family? But if you work with Miaoer, who dares to bully her with you?"

Seeing that Hu Lao Er was still hesitating, Miao simply put a dose of strong medicine: "Think about it, if you and Miaoer both enter the workshop, you can get an extra salary. You know Miaoer's skills, and you will definitely earn a lot after entering. I'm afraid you can save enough money for you to get married in a year, which is better than saving up slowly by yourself."

If possible, Miao would rather save the hard money earned by her niece than marrying a wife for her. But instead of letting her niece get bought by her sister and husband to exchange for money, it would be better to use the money to exchange for peace. And with this job, the niece will have the confidence to get married in her in-laws' family.

Seeing that the second nephew was obviously moved, Miao felt that it was necessary to let him remember his niece's goodness, so he continued: "Are you more willing to let your parents marry Miao'er and change the betrothal money to repair the house and get married? Your sister-in-law's family emptied your family's family for the sake of your son, and just rolled their eyes on your parents? You just want to see Miao'er like your sister-in-law, looking at people's faces every day in your husband's family? Think about your parents for money, they just promised Miao'er to a cripple before. This is worse than your sister-in-law. Your brother is a young, strong and healthy person at least!"

I have to say that this directly touched Hu Laoer's heart. He still had some feelings for Hu Miao, the only sister. The reason why he wanted to use Hu Miao's betrothal to marry a wife was because anyone with a daughter in the village did this. He didn't think there was any problem at all, and he never thought from the perspective of a woman to think about what life would they live in their husband's house naked.

Now there is a living example of his sister-in-law Jiang. Thinking of the whole family's rolling eyes at Jiang over the years, he suddenly felt a little guilty about Jiang. After all, there was not so much betrothal money that Jiang did, but she didn't get any benefits, and she still had to roll her eyes from their family. It was really a grudge. If it were him, he might have jumped into the river with grievance.

Even if he is not related to Jiang, a person who has no blood relationship, Hu Lao Er feels that he can't do this. He doesn't lose money if his parents disagree. If he agrees, he will make a big profit. So he no longer hesitates and said heavily: "Okay, I will tell my parents about this matter. If my parents disagree, I will take Miaoer to separate the family with them. It is better to watch them post brothers and sisters-in-law year after year, and let me keep going without a wife."
