Chapter 226 Don't let the girl suffer
"After the pig is sold, we can buy some gifts and so on, find a double day, and pick up the Bao girl to visit us." Old Yangtou continued to plan.
Mrs. Tan listened silently while giving Lao Yangtou a foot massage.
"Matchmaker Zhou is our matchmaker. Later, we will ask the Bao family to find a matchmaker to make up an even number," he said.
"Yeah." Mrs. Tan responded.
Guessing that the water was a little cold, Mrs. Tan quickly wiped Lao Yang's head and feet.
What did Lao Yangtou think of? He asked Tan again, "Counting the days, it's time for the fourth daughter-in-law to give birth."
Mrs. Tan thought for a moment and said, "Today is the tenth day of the lunar month, almost the end of the month."
"Well, during this period, you and the eldest daughter-in-law should share more of the housework." Lao Yangtou warned.
Tan sneered at these words.
"What woman doesn't give birth to a child? The day the third daughter-in-law gave birth to Xiao An, she carried two buckets of clothes to wash in the morning."
Old Yangtou said, "You can't say that. The third daughter-in-law is used to doing hard work and has a strong skin."
"The fourth daughter-in-law is a bit squeamish and cannot be compared with the third daughter-in-law."
When Tan heard this, he was unhappy.
She threw the handkerchief into the basin and stood up angrily.
"How daughters-in-law give birth to children is something I, the mother-in-law, worry about. You, the father-in-law, ask so many questions, and you are not afraid of being laughed at, but your son is still in the middle."
Old Yangtou's face darkened.
"Why do you think you are so mean to others?"
"snort"
Mr. Tan stood aside and snorted.
Old Yangtou frowned, not wanting to argue with Tan on this matter.
He knew that if a woman got into trouble, she could argue for three days and three nights without getting anywhere.
"I won't ask anything about my wives' affairs in the future, so as to save you from thinking about it."
Old Yangtou said, pointing to the half-wiped feet in the basin and told Mrs. Tan to "wipe them for me quickly."
Tan curled his lips, squatted back down, and then wiped Old Yang's head and feet.
"You don't pay attention to things that should be your concern. If you don't care about things that are not yours, just ask questions."
Tan complained.
Old Yang was surprised for a moment, "I didn't say anything to you, but you can tell me."
Mrs. Tan said, "You are so happy when you buy a land with three houses. You are so worried about your fourth daughter-in-law having a baby. You don't even ask about Mei'er's affairs."
"What's wrong with Mei'er?" Old Yang was surprised.
"She spends her days eating, drinking, and lying down. For such a big girl, what kind of work can she do?" Old Yangtou asked.
Tan shook his head, looking worried.
"Our daughter is getting older and has some thoughts. I'm afraid she won't be able to keep her for two years," said Tan.
Lao Yang's head seems to get some flavor from these words.
"Mother Mei'er, please tell me everything. Is Mei'er attracted by someone's descendant?"
Tan nodded.
A good daughter is like a mother. Although my daughter didn’t say it clearly, she was someone who had been there.
From the girl's appearance, words and reactions
I'm afraid I really like that boy.
"Can you tell me which family he is from?" Old Yang asked anxiously.
Mrs. Tan came back to her senses, frowned and said, "Tang Yazi from the old Luo family."
"What"
Old Yang was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide enough to stuff an egg into it.
"Why are there two of them who can't be beaten with eight poles?"
Old Yangtou was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"But, having said that, Tang Yazi is really not bad. Our Mei'er has great vision," Old Yangtou said with emotion.
"snort"
Mrs. Tan snorted, curled her lips, and said angrily, "What's so good about that kid with that look in your eyes?"
"Without a father and a mother, living with that old bachelor like Blacksmith Luo, the family is completely destitute."
"That's all. That boy is still a hunter. He goes into the mountains to hunt all year round and keeps his head in his belt."
"If we, Meier, marry him, we will suffer a lot and have to worry all the time."
"Maybe that day, that kid will never come back after entering the mountains, and Mei'er will have to remain a widow."
The more Ms. Tan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and in the end she could no longer speak.
After hearing Tan's analysis, Old Yangtou also fell silent.
If you are a farmer, you have no land, no land, no father, no mother. Even if you are not bad, you will not succeed in the end.
"Mother Meier, if you talk to me about this, do you have any plans?"
Old Yangtou immediately asked Tan.
Tan said, "It took my five sons to have such a daughter, whom I hold in my heart and heart and raise so big."
"I would never agree to let her go to Lao Luo's house and suffer that fate."
"Dad Mei'er, I'm thinking about it. Let's arrange Lao Wu's marriage as soon as possible. Then we can find a good husband for Mei'er nearby."
"After looking for my husband's family, our Mei'er's thoughts will naturally change, and we will feel at ease." Mrs. Tan said.
There was a trace of embarrassment on Lao Yang's face, "With Mei'er's appearance, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to find a husband who will satisfy me in everything."
Mr. Tan was a little annoyed when he heard this.
"What is our daughter like? My daughter is white, fat and has a big butt. She is easy to give birth to and has a prosperous husband."
Old Yangtou was silent.
He just told the truth.
From a man's aesthetic point of view, it is not very pleasing to see a girl like this.
Mrs. Tan, however, was very proud of the daughter she had trained. She was still thinking, "Mei'er doesn't know how to do needlework, and she won't be able to serve her parents-in-law after she gets married."
"It doesn't matter. The worst I can do is give her a little more dowry, so she can still be strong in her husband's family."
Old Yangtou nodded, "Then I will do as you say and call Butcher Chen over to fetch the pigs in the next two days."
"Um"
For rural people, food and clothing depend on what they get from the fields.
After deducting exorbitant taxes and rent, the income is just for food and clothing, leaving little money to live on.
But one person has a lot of things to take care of.
Building a house, moving, getting married, visiting relatives and friends, the death of the elderly
You can't make it if you don't have a lot of living money on hand.
Therefore, raising pigs, chickens and ducks is essential.
From the beginning to the end of the year, it took a lot of effort to grow the little piggy into a fat and strong pig.
It's a big deal when it comes to selling
The next day, Mr. Tan invited Butcher Chen to his home.
Old Yangtou, Yang Hua'an, Yang Hualin, Yang Huazhou, Yang Yongqing and other children and grandchildren accompanied Butcher Chen in the backyard to look after the pigs in the pig pen.
The movement in the yard alarmed Yang Huazhong in the house.
The man was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed out of the house by Yang Ruoqing, and sat under the wall to bask in the sun.
He lay in bed for more than a month without seeing the sun.
His face looked a little sickly pale.
However, I am in good spirits.
He sat there, looking at the old Yang's pig pen opposite with a smile.
Behind him, Yang Ruoqing stood there obediently, holding a bowl of brewed tea in her hand and looking at it curiously.
Just listen to the butcher Chen commenting on the big fat pig for sale.
The pig's hair is deep, the skin is thick, there is not enough fat, etc.
