The news that a rich man came to Tian's family to propose marriage spread like wildfire. Yangmei Village was boiling like a pot of freshly boiled water. Some people were envious and others were jealous. Wherever Tian Minyan went, people looked at her with strange and fiery eyes.
, such as now.
"The second girl has become more upright and has become a big girl. She is really the leader of our Yangmei Village. I don't know which family will be so lucky to have our second girl in the future." A certain aunt pulled Tian Minyan affectionately.
hands, a face smiling like a flower.
Faced with this sudden enthusiasm, Tian Minyan felt uncomfortable all over. She chuckled, fiddled with her hair, and pulled back her hand. She glanced at the basket at her feet and said, "Aunt Niu, you are cutting pig grass!"
Aunt Niu followed her gaze and said in a sour tone: "No. It's still a good time for your family. Now there are many long-term workers and servants, and you don't have to do such dirty work. In the end, it's you.
Mom is lucky to have a capable girl like you, unlike this stupid girl in our family who can’t do anything." As she said this, she patted the girl standing beside her.
Niu Chunhua, a girl from the Niu family who was only seven or eight years old and was glaring at Tian Minyan in beautiful clothes, uttered an ouch. Seeing Tian Minyan looking at her with a smile on her face, her dark face was a little red, she glared at her mother and said angrily.
: "Mom, if you hit me again, you will be even more stupid."
"You are stupid to begin with." Second Aunt Niu glared back and said, "Second girl is only three years older than you. You think they know everything, but what about you? What do you know?"
After hearing this, Niu Chunhua said angrily: "Then why didn't you make me smarter?"
"Damn girl..."
Seeing that the two mothers and daughters were about to fight, Tian Minyan hurriedly said: "Don't say that, Second Aunt Niu, Chunhua is also very capable. You see, she is also helping you with farm work. She is very good."
"What's the use? You can't make money. How can you be like the second girl..."
Tian Minyan had a headache. She knew that many parents in the village used her as a role model for their children, but this Aunt Niu was so unlikeable. She belittled herself and praised others in front of her daughter, without seeing the child's
Are you about to shed tears?
"Chunhua, don't listen to your mother, you are very good." The more Tian Minyan heard what Aunt Niu said, the more outrageous she said. She quickly changed the subject and took out a handful of candies from her purse and stuffed them into her hand and said: "Sister
Candy please."
Since her family's life has improved, she always buys some candies and puts them at home. She also puts some in her purse, sometimes peeling one to eat herself, and occasionally inviting some children from the village to eat.
Niu Chunhua wanted to throw it away, but she didn't want any charity from her. But looking at the colorful candy wrapper in her hand, she swallowed her saliva, but she couldn't bear to part with it. You know, poor families can't see a candy all year round. She
I haven’t eaten sweets for a long time.
Aunt Niu was overjoyed when she saw it, and said hurriedly that she still didn't want to thank the second girl.
But Niu Chunhua pursed her lips, lowered her head and remained silent.
Second Aunt Niu saw that she was very shameless, so she patted her again, and smiled at Tian Minyan: "This child has been a stubborn girl since she was a child. Second girl, don't blame her, she is just a village girl who is ignorant."
The corner of Tian Minyan's mouth twitched. Aunt Niu had forgotten that she was also a village girl.
"It's okay."
"Her brother is different from her. He has a sweet mouth, is honest and willing to work, is two years older than you, and is as tall as a cow. These days, he tells me every day that he wants me to marry him a second girl.
What about such a daughter-in-law! Haha, I just laughed at him, how about asking the second girl for you? What do you think he said?"
Tian Minyan's face darkened and she looked a little unhappy. Bai Mei, who was following her, said coldly: "Auntie, what are you talking about? Is this what you can say in front of our girl?"
Aunt Niu's smiling face froze, and she was a little unhappy. How could this be unreasonable? You are just a girl, and the master didn't say anything, so you have no rules.
Just as he was about to speak, a loud voice suddenly interrupted and successfully knocked Aunt Niu away.
"Oh, second girl, I was just about to go to your house to find your mother. I didn't expect to meet you here by fate. Come on, this is my mother's nephew, named Dapeng. He is fifteen years old this year. Look,
He's handsome, isn't he? He's one of the most handsome young men in Zhoucun." The visitor crackled and said a lot like setting off firecrackers.
Being rushed by her, Bai Mei pulled Tian Minyan back two steps and took a look, but it was Aunt Laiwang from the village. Beside her, there was a tall and strong young man, staring blankly at Tian Minyan, her eyes shaking.
It glowed. Bai Mei's face turned cold when she saw it, and she stood in front of Tian Minyan and glared at him fiercely.
"Come to Wang's house, what do you mean?" Aunt Niu was very unhappy and stared at her nephew warily.
Hey, this is the girl from Yangmei Village who is here to rob them!
"What, your little brat wants to be married to the second girl? You can tell me that this marriage must be about well-matched families. How can you afford a noble person like the second girl with just a few acres of land in your family?"
Aunt Niu's face changed, from red to black, and then black to red again. Not to mention how pretty she looked.
Everyone can see how wealthy Tian Minyan's family is now, not to mention how generous the dowry is for marrying a girl from her family. With Tian Minyan's reputation as a cornucopia of abilities, there are many people who want to marry her even without a dowry!
The Tian family has become rich, and everyone can see it. Yangmei Village knows better that the Tian family's fortune comes from their daughter Tian Minyan. Nowadays, everyone says that a daughter should be born like Tian Minyan, or that a daughter-in-law should be married to an elder of the Tian family.
Three girls, you don't have to worry about food and drink.
Speaking of which, Tian Minyan is still young. Although in ancient times, some children were engaged when they were eleven or twelve years old, but because the villagers wanted to keep their children to work for two more years, they were not the ones who were too poor to take the blame, so they rarely married off their daughters early.
people, unless there are special circumstances.
Nowadays, there are not many families in the village who can compare with the Tian family. With such a family background, most people don’t dare to think about it. Even if they think about it, no one dares to mention getting married. But now, someone has set a precedent, and those who have plans
It came quickly.
Aunt Niu and Lai Wang's family had never had a relationship with each other. Their fields were adjacent to each other and they were originally good friends. But later, they got into a quarrel because the fields were more or less and the two families no longer had any contact with each other.
So now that it was heard that Aunt Wang looked down on her family so much, Aunt Niu sneered: "My little boy is not worthy, but your nephew is worthy? It's ridiculous, look at how stupid and young he is, with
It’s like I’ve never seen a girl before. Is there anyone who looks at other girls like this? He doesn’t have any manners at all.”
When Aunt Laiwang heard this, her eyes stood up and she put her hands on her waist: "Who do you think has no rules? Ah, say it again."
"Whoever responds will say so."
"Okay, you vulgar bitch, I've long disliked you..." Aunt Laiwang clawed at her with her hands.
"Oh, I hit someone, you bitch..."
"If you hit my mother, I'll beat you to death..." Niu Chunhua joined the fight.
Tian Minyan was very embarrassed, what's going on?
She tugged at Bai Mei, winked, and the two of them ran away as fast as they could.
After returning home, Sun Juren's wife happened to come out of the west wing. When she saw Tian Minyan, she held her hand affectionately and praised her for a while, until Tian Minyan turned red in the face.
After finally seeing off Mrs. Sun, Tian Minyan walked into the west wing. There were many gifts on the table in the room, which she thought were just sent by Mrs. Sun.
Tian Minyan frowned and asked: "Mom, isn't this Mrs. Sun also here to propose marriage?"
"You kid, how do you know?" Luo Shi pursed her lips and smiled, pulled her to sit on the edge of the kang, touched the top of her head lovingly, and sighed for a while: "My daughter has grown up, and people come to ask for her hand in marriage.
Already."
What does it mean that a family has a daughter who is sought from hundreds of families? It means that the daughter of that family is famous and the more people come to ask for her, the more it means that the daughter of that family is rare and hard to find, and the more precious she is.
"I have long said that my daughter deserves the best." Luo Shi's tone was full of pride and joy.
"Mom." Tian Minyan said angrily, "I'm only eleven years old. You and your father must not agree haphazardly. You must wait until I'm old enough to get engaged."
Just kidding, she didn’t want to get married so early. A woman’s childbirth would be like walking through the gates of hell. A child in her teens would be a child. If she gets engaged now and gets married at the age of fifteen, if she has a child, with the backwardness of ancient times,
With her advanced delivery skills, she really didn’t know if she could give birth smoothly.
She cherishes her life very much and will not make fun of it. The more mature her body is, the later she gets pregnant. To her, there are only good things and no bad things.
"I can't bear to part with my daughter, but what Mrs. Sun mentioned was a cousin from her clan. She said that he also passed the scholar examination. He was born with a talented person and a good family background." Luo Shi chuckled.
"No matter who he is, he can't just accept it now." Tian Minyan pouted and said, "I said I would choose my own husband."
When Luo Shi saw that her daughter was rarely showing off her little daughter's cuteness, her heart softened. He hugged her and said yes repeatedly, adding at the end, which girl is as bold as you to choose your own husband?
The two mothers and daughters laughed and scolded each other, and Tian Huairen hurried in from outside and asked: "Mother, the Niu Er daughter-in-law at the head of the village and Lai Wang's daughter-in-law got into a fight, and they said that our daughter should be worthy of their family.
Yes, what are these words? Isn’t this bastard talk?”
"What?" Luo Shi frowned and said with a stern face: "What are they doing to smear our daughter's reputation? You need someone to pull them away."
"I've already sent people away, but you don't know, the nephew who came to Wang's wife called me uncle, and the gift he gave me almost scared me." Tian Huairen thought that the black boy thought he was serious.
The father-in-law's obeisance made me extremely depressed.
After hearing this, Tian Minyan became more determined in her idea of getting engaged after getting her hair done, so she told what happened just now, and finally said: "Mom, no matter who is here, they said that I won't get engaged until after I get my hair done. Otherwise, there will be more trouble."
So many jokes. This reputation will be ruined, and my little sister and I will not be able to find a good family in the future."
Luo Shi's face was stern, and Hetian Huairen looked at each other. Both of them knew the seriousness of this, and they said in unison: "Yes, let's use this excuse and wait until you are fifteen to decide."
Tian Minyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Being a daughter-in-law is not as good as being a girl. She has to do her best to gain benefits for herself, even if she is not old enough to get engaged, she also wants to get married when she is eighteen.
In the next few days, people came one after another to inquire about Luo Shi's intentions. Even Fang Yu's mother, Mrs. Fang, also joined in the fun. Fortunately, Tian Minyan and her parents got over it and agreed to tell the public that they wanted to have a hairpin queen.
We just got engaged, otherwise, I really don’t know how to deal with it.
Lou Shaoqing's matchmaker Wang also came twice. The last time, Tian Minyan personally threw the so-called sincere gift she brought out of the gate, and said that if she came again, her feet would be broken.
, and asked her to send a message to Lou Shaoqing that even if all the men in the world died, she would not marry him.
When Matchmaker Wang went back and talked to Lou Shaoqing, Lou Shaoqing laughed, gave her the matchmaker's money, and said she didn't need to go there again.
Matchmaker Wang originally thought that the marriage was impossible and that the matchmaker's money was definitely ruined. Unexpectedly, Lou Shaoqing was so generous and gave it to her. Although not everything, it was better than nothing.
And because she was aggrieved by Tian Minyan, she intentionally or unintentionally said in the matchmaker circle that Tian Minyan had a bad temper, was tough, fierce, and rude, and that she would go to heaven for having such a small family background, thus giving Tian Minyan a bad reputation.
, spread around.
Hearing such rumors, Luo Shi was very angry and almost went to the matchmaker Wang to fight for her life. Tian Minyan stopped her and said: "She just wanted to talk fast for a while. Does anyone who knows me know my temper?"
?Now that she has spread the word like this, we will no longer have to deal with people coming to propose marriage."
It doesn't matter if she is tough and fierce, she is just a village girl if you want to call her rude. This is not someone who has lost her moral integrity and lost her virginity. Just let her have her own way and be happy.
Luo Shi sighed deeply and said, "There are many girls in this family, and it's my turn. I'm really happy and helpless at the same time."
Tian Minyan pursed her lips and smiled, thinking to herself, it would be better not to be spoiled for choice in choosing a son-in-law in the future.
When the news reached Qi Shiqi's ears, he raised his eyebrows: "Tough? Fierce? Well, that's quite right. The smelly girl can be quite ferocious sometimes." Thinking of their excuses, he touched
Holding his chin: "Do you think about getting engaged after you turn fifteen and have hair extensions? Haha."
The news that Tian Minyan and the others refused to marry also reached Henghe House, and everyone had different reactions.
Tian Minzhuang smashed a vase and said angrily to her mother: "That wild girl, for what reason? Just because she can earn two pieces of silver. What, the county magistrate's wife wants to propose marriage for her nephew? Isn't it unusual?"
Mom, I am not willing to accept it."
Mrs. Chen looked at the fragments on the ground heartbrokenly and said, "Don't worry, you will be an official's wife in the future." However, what will Tian Minyan be? She doesn't know. The third house is becoming more and more outstanding, and her family is becoming more and more outstanding.
, it is true that we have stopped moving forward and everything is not going well.
When they went to the room, Mr. Jiang spoke harshly of Tian Minyan and the others, saying something about having a high vision, pretending to be aloof, and saying all sorts of things.
Mr. Tian was smoking a dry cigarette as always, with relief and confusion in his eyes. The children with three bedrooms are all outstanding, but the one with two bedrooms?
