News that the daughter of the third son of the old Su family is about to return to the village spread among the villagers.
"She is the daughter of three rich people?" the older people in the village chatted while sitting under the big tree.
"What are you three rich people? They changed their names a long time ago. Now they are called Su Jianmin. Didn't they come back last time? They left after only a few days."
"You thought it was so great to be an engineer in the city? I came back with nothing, and my clothes were ordinary. My wife is quite beautiful."
After one old man finished speaking, another old man said: "His wife looks like she is only in her early twenties. Did she really give birth to six babies for him?"
"She's in her early twenties, she's already in her mid-thirties. I heard that she used to be a capitalist, so her background is pretty bad."
"Then it's true that the three rich people have a bad wife. Isn't it an enemy of us working people to marry an exploiter?"
While they were talking, several women who had just returned home from cutting pigweed heard them and gathered around to chat.
After everyone disliked Bai Lu, they began to dislike Xiao Wu again, saying that the child was very naughty and mischievous, and everyone was already afraid of him.
"Xiao Wu is a weird kid. It's okay if he doesn't go back to the city. He insists on asking his parents to send his sister here."
One of them crossed his legs, picked his nose, flicked his boogers on the ground, and then picked his feet a few times.
"I don't know if he really has a sister. Then no one in the old Su family has given birth to a daughter."
The uncle smoking cigarettes next to him said: "Old Su Tou's wife gave birth to five sons, and all the sons were sons. Didn't his second daughter-in-law get pregnant again recently? No need to guess, she will definitely be a baby.
With a handle."
"Didn't Old Sutou always say that his Su family has never had a daughter for five generations? How come the third child can have a daughter?"
"Maybe he picked it up."
"It's a joke, who picks up other people's children these days to raise? Let alone a girl."
Several women said with disdain: "I don't want the baby girl given away for free. It will be useless when it is raised. It will be a waste of more than ten years of food."
"But no, when my daughter gets married, the work points she earns also belong to her husband's family. She raised her in vain and doesn't earn anything."
"Just because girls can get married, each village allocates land according to the number of men. If the Su family had not had many sons, the wasteland to the east of the village would not have been given to Su Changzhu so that his fourth son could build a house there.
Already."
When the matter of dividing land was mentioned, everyone had different expressions, some were happy, some were angry, and some were sad.
In the past, in order to get more land, the villagers tried their best to have a son. A woman who gave birth to a daughter would definitely be despised by her parents-in-law and husband.
Only the Su family is the opposite.
Other families are overjoyed when a son is born, but the old Su family sighs when a son is born.
"It's really strange. Why do the Su family want a daughter so much?" A woman in her early twenties asked curiously in the crowd.
Her name is Xu Dongmei, and after being introduced by the matchmaker, she was married to Qishui Village from Weishan Village at the foot of the mountain just a few months ago.
Xu Dongmei also has a sister who is seven years older than her. She is an older leftover girl.
Her mother asked her to help find a good man to be her brother-in-law in Qishui Village. The sisters would marry from the same village and have a partner, so they could take care of each other.
There are many bachelors in the village, among them the fifth son of the Su family is the most outstanding. He is handsome and tall, and his appearance is much better than her husband.
The only thing that worries Xu Dongmei is that there are too many brothers in the Su family and the old house is occupied. The fifth child can only live in the production team now.
But even so, she still felt that Su Xiaomeng was the most suitable candidate to be her brother-in-law.
Therefore, Xu Dongmei can't help but want to inquire about things related to the Su family.
Hearing her suddenly ask such a question, everyone around her laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Xu Dongmei wondered.
"You just got married and came to our village. No wonder you don't know about it. This matter is not a secret in our village. No one knows about it."
After hearing what the old man said, Xu Dongmei became even more curious, "What is the reason?"
"I heard that it was a saying passed down by Old Su Tou and his grandfather two generations ago. If the offspring gives birth to a daughter, it will be the reincarnation of a lucky star, which will bring continuous good fortune to the Su family. If a son is born, one generation will become poorer than the other, and father and son will not get along, and brothers will not get along...
…”
"What? Isn't this superstitious?"
"Whether it is superstitious or not, we don't know, but after living in the village for decades, I have never seen the Su family give birth to a daughter."
Xu Dongmei said: "The third daughter of the Su family will be back soon. You will know if she is a lucky star."
After hearing what she said, everyone became curious, "Yes, I would like to see what the lucky star looks like."
A woman joked: "Do you really believe that she is a lucky star? I don't believe it, unless she has three eyes and four mouths."
"Is it still a lucky star with three eyes and four mouths? Is that a monster?"
"Hahahahahaha..."
For a moment, everyone laughed.
The children nearby heard it and began to spread rumors, saying: "Su Xiaowu's sister has three eyes and four ears."
Su Xiaowu sat on the edge of the field and blew in the wind.
A week ago, his grandfather told him that his parents had received a letter, and the content was that Jinbao would be sent to live in the country, and he hoped that he and his sister would get along well.
Sister? Those two people really sent their precious daughter to the countryside?
Su Xiaowu still doesn't believe it.
"Brother Dawu, Brother Dawu..." Several little boys ran towards Su Xiaowu panting, "No, it's not good..."
"what?"
Su Xiaowu looked at them doubtfully.
The boys' names are Goudan, Datou, Huzi and Ermao. The oldest is seven years old and the youngest is five. They are all Su Xiaowu's younger brothers.
They looked at each other, as if they didn't know who to say.
"Goudan, tell me!"
After Su Xiaowu called his name, Goudan told him excitedly, "Many people in the village say your sister is a monster!"
"What?"
Er Mao on the side gasped, "Many children are saying that Brother Dawu, your sister has three eyes and four ears."
After hearing this, Su Xiaowu's expression turned into a hint of joking and ridicule, and he said carelessly: "Oh, what did I think it was?"
"Brother Dawu, aren't you angry when everyone scolds your sister?" Goudan was confused.
"Why should I be angry? Maybe everyone is right, she is just a monster, an ugly monster with mung bean eyes and a flat nose."
After he finished speaking, he remembered that his grandparents always had "Jin Bao" in their mouths, so he picked up the slingshot and hit the trunk of the tree, causing the branches and leaves to sway.
snort!
Since they really sent their daughter here, don't blame yourself for bullying her!
When Su Xiaowu returned home in the evening, he saw his uncle at home and ran forward excitedly, "Uncle, why are you here? Don't you want to feed the cows and horses in the production team today?"
His little uncle turned around, frowned, and did not answer his question, but said: "Xiao Wu, where have you been playing? I just wanted to go find you."
"What do you want from me?"
"I brought your sister back. Go and see your sister Jinbao..."
Hearing the word "sister", Su Xiaowu's smile disappeared instantly, "I'm too lazy to look at it. What's so good about ugly people?"
