When your granddaughter grows up, she will get married sooner or later. It doesn’t make any difference if she marries early or later. It can also save the family several years of food rations!
Five taels of silver! You spend 2 taels on a little girl, and you pay the village chief another taels, and there are still 2 taels left! It’s enough for the family to live a good life!
This thing does sound like a good thing!
At that moment, Mrs. Cao couldn't sit still, and said hurriedly: "Okay! This is a good thing, sister, you can remember it! I am also in a hurry here. If you don't want Qingmei to go to Huang's house and walk around, try to get it done."
Is the matter settled?"
When Xiao Ma saw that his sister agreed to this matter, he immediately asked his younger son to go to his daughter-in-law's house to call someone back to talk about this matter.
Mrs. Cao was not in a hurry to go back because she was thinking about this. Fortunately, it was still early and she didn't have to wait long to return by bullock cart from the village where Qingmei was married.
"Mom, this is fine, why are you calling me back in such a hurry?" Qingmei was puzzled. When she entered the room and saw her aunt was there, she also called out.
Xiao Ma sat someone down. Knowing that her sister was anxious, she didn't talk nonsense and asked directly, "I called you back because of what you said a few days ago! What happened to your sister-in-law's cousin's child bride?
Do you have any clues?"
Qingmei heard that this was the reason and couldn't help but wonder: "I haven't heard about finding a suitable person yet. What's wrong? Mother?"
When Xiao Ma heard that it hadn't happened yet, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Mrs. Cao and said, "Since it hasn't happened yet, what do you think of your niece Miao Xiang? If you can do it, you can help your aunt to run around.
?”
"Miao Xiang?" Qingmei listened and subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Cao. She had always heard that Miao Xiang was a hard-working and capable girl, and her aunt liked her very much. She was actually willing to let her become a child bride at such a young age?
Qingmei pursed her lips, and seeing that there was no one else in the room, she simply said: "Mom, my ex-errone just told you this matter casually, and I didn't go into details. Now I won't hide it from you. What about the son of the Huang family?"
It is said that he was in poor health since he was a child and that he was ill and difficult to feed, but in fact it was much more than that!"
"This kid also has a weird temperament. I heard from my sister-in-law that he often loses his temper at home. He is so weird that he even beats and bites his own parents. He also always takes sharp things to himself when he gets the chance.
It's cut, it's scary to look at."
"The Huang family is going to buy a child bride back home. They say it's for happiness, but also to serve the child nearby. With her bad temper, this child bride will not be in good shape."
"Don't look at the five taels of silver that look good. This is not a good thing. Do you really want to send Miao Xiang away?" After Qingmei said this, she looked at Mrs. Cao and asked.
Xiao Ma didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret. She only thought that the other party would give her five taels of silver. Since her family had so much land and only had one son, Miao Xiang could live a good life even if she became a child bride.
Now that she was like this, it was hard for her to continue telling Miao Xiang to go.
She just looked at Mrs. Cao and said, "Sister, Miao Xiang is your granddaughter. Can you make up your mind?"
Mrs. Cao was also stunned when she heard this. She just thought she was buying a child bride for happiness, but she didn't expect that there was such a thing?
She hesitated for a moment. What if she sent Miao Xiang away and was killed by Shu Mo not long after?
When the time comes, the villagers will still drown her in their saliva!
But if we don’t deliver it, it will be difficult to find this store after passing this village!
If you raise Miaoxiang for a few more years, you may not be able to get back five taels of bride price when you get married, but you will also have to give a dowry!
Especially her son can't wait now. She can't borrow money, so there's nothing she can do.
Miao Xiang, Miao Xiang, your father gave birth to you and your mother raised you, don’t blame your mother for being cruel.
I don't want you to leave this house, it's for your own good.
Mrs. Cao secretly thought that Miao Xiang had a good temper and was hardworking and capable. What if the boy from the Huang family fell in love with her and wouldn't lose his temper with her?
As long as Miao Xiang can bear it and gives birth to a son to the Huang family, the more than twenty acres of land and property of the Huang family will belong to Miao Xiang and her son.
If she is unlucky, the boy from the Huang family will not live long, and Miao Xiang is still a child bride, just like the daughter of the Huang family. How can the Huang family ignore her?
She did it all for Miao Xiang's good. Her family was too poor and she would have to live a hard life if she stayed. By going to Huang's house, she could still eat meat often and wear new clothes.
Mrs. Cao convinced herself in her heart, gritted her teeth, raised her head again, looked at Xiao Ma and said: "Send! Send Miao Xiang!"
When Xiao Ma heard this, she was a little surprised. How could she not know how important her son was to her sister?
It’s just a granddaughter, I’m willing to give it up.
Xiao Ma suppressed what was in her heart, nodded, and looked at Qingmei and said: "Qingmei, why don't you run away to make peace with me about this matter? The Huang family needs people who can take care of others, and this girl Miao Xiang is hardworking and capable.
, is the most suitable!”
Qingmei was a little puzzled when she saw that even though she had told the truth, her aunt still insisted on sending Miao Xiang away.
But she is just Miao Xiang's cousin, not her biological aunt, and has nothing to do with Miao Xiang's affairs. Although she was frightened, she nodded and said: "Okay, I'll talk to my sister-in-law when I get back. I'll just wait for Xin'er."
.”
Qingmei agreed and went back to her husband's house.
The matter was not yet certain, but Mrs. Cao felt that it was almost certain, so she made a lot of decisions.
Walking back to the village, I passed by the Songshan Inn and saw many carriages and horses stopping at the Songshan Inn. The business seemed to be going well, and I couldn't help but curl my lips.
How about making a career again? If even the villagers don’t support you, no matter how much money you earn, it will be useless!
They say that when you drink water, you don’t forget the man who dug the well!
The grandfather of Huang Yuanwai, who lives in Huangjia Village, had made a fortune and made money at that time. He also knew how to feed the whole village and leased the fields to the villagers for less rent.
This is a great good deed and will make generations prosperous.
Even if Song Qiu is like this, she won't be able to hold on for long even if she looks at her. Sooner or later, she will collapse!
While Mrs. Cao was slandering people in her heart, she returned to the village and heard the villagers chatting lively.
After hearing this, she wanted to move closer and follow her, but when everyone saw that it was her, they all found excuses and left.
Mrs. Cao: ...She is not the God of Plague, does she need to be like this?
It's really heart-wrenching.
If the Song family kills the New Year pig tomorrow, please eat pig-killing rice?
Tsk, you’re so showy, you can invite everyone in the village to eat!
It's really stingy to only invite two people per family, and it doesn't bring any recognition to the table.
I've already asked for you, but you still don't do it. You really can't do anything.
Those who get rich halfway are those who get rich halfway, and they cannot be as generous as others!
cut!
Mrs. Cao felt disgusted in her heart, so she returned home, thinking that the meat from the butchered pig would be enough to eat, and she swallowed her saliva.
She has to go early tomorrow, there are two in the family, and each family has a share. If she doesn't go, it will be in vain!
I quickly asked my son again.
But Cao Daqiao didn't want to go out at all now. Mrs. Cao looked at her and was busy trying to comfort her son.
"Son! Don't worry, don't worry. In less than two days, my mother will buy you a little daughter-in-law. Just be good."
After comforting her son, Mrs. Cao thought about her granddaughter, who was about to give it to another family. Before leaving, she had better give her a good meal.
Anyway, there are two in the family, and if her son doesn’t want to go, she will take Miao Xiang there tomorrow!
I'll sneak some pieces of meat back for my son then!
