This girl looks to be in her mid-twenties, with fair skin, big, transparent and bright eyes. She has a thick and long braid, which is black and tilted to one side, and the tail of her hair is tied with a red rope.
She is slender but not shriveled. Her clothes are a pink striped plaid shirt and her trousers are blue cloth trousers, which are too wide to hide her good figure.
If it weren't for the coarse cloth she was wearing, she would have looked a bit like a city girl.
An ordinary person would probably be surprised by Xu Chuntao's appearance, but after all, Li Xiu'e has been to a big city. Is there any pretty girl on the street that I haven't seen?
Let’s not talk about others, just Jinbao and Huahua’s mothers, which one is not beautiful?
"Who are you?" Li Xiu'e asked, "You just said you were testing Xiaomeng's character. What did you mean?"
Xu Dongmei said hurriedly: "Aunt Li, don't get me wrong, this is my sister, she doesn't mean any harm."
"Your sister? Your biological sister?"
"Yes, yes, actually..."
Without waiting for her sister to continue explaining, Xu Chuntao stepped forward and said directly without mincing words: "I think your son looks pretty good, so I want to know if he is a good man."
Li Xiu'e didn't understand what she meant, so she frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I've made it so clear, why don't you understand?" Xu Chuntao said patiently, "I'm attracted to your son. If he has a good character, I can consider marrying into your family."
"What?" Li Xiu'e thought she heard wrong, and it took her a while to realize, "You just said you were attracted to my son? Are you attracted to Xiao Meng?"
Xu Chuntao nodded, "Yes, isn't this the only son of yours who is not married yet? Do you think I will fall in love with your married sons? I have no interest in being a mistress and breaking up other people's families."
Li Xiu'e only had one idea in her mind.
When people live a long time, they can see all kinds of weird people and all kinds of weird things.
Xu Dongmei also felt that what her sister said was too direct, and she felt particularly embarrassed.
"Sister, why did you say it yourself? We have to go to our mother to talk about the marriage. For you to say it like this is really... oh..."
"Why should I find someone else to talk about my marriage? I have to talk to myself!"
Xu Chuntao's face was not red, her heart was not beating, and she did not feel ashamed at all, "I asked my sister to test him just now. I think your son's performance is not bad. I can give it an eight. In appearance, he is worthy of me."
…”
At this point, she lowered her head and thought for a moment, hesitated, and finally clapped her hands, "Okay! I have decided. Your son and I will get to know each other first, and we will fall in love if we feel like it. Then he will propose to me, and finally choose
The date will be set for the marriage."
Li Xiu'e felt angry and speechless.
"What do you two sisters mean by this? You think that no one wants to take care of my son, and you need to be picky here? You are also testing your character. I even want to take you to the health center to test whether your mental state is normal.
"
"Hey, how can you curse someone?" Xu Chuntao said angrily, "It's just like what is said in the novel, even a mother-in-law cannot tolerate a beautiful daughter-in-law. You look like this and you are an evil mother-in-law!"
"What are you talking about? Who is your mother-in-law? I don't have a daughter-in-law like you."
Before Li Xiu'e could continue speaking, Xu Dongmei hurriedly pulled her aside and said, "Aunt Li, don't be angry with my sister. She is a very simple and innocent person. She really doesn't know anything about the world."
"What a joke. She is innocent and naive. She is uncultivated and uncultured. How did your mother educate her daughter? Didn't she teach her to respect others?"
"You are uneducated. When I was seven years old, my mother pulled a donkey cart all the way to send me to a private school to study and learn to read. If I am uneducated, an ignorant old rural woman like you will be even less educated.
Educated."
"Sister, please stop saying a few words."
"She provoked me first!"
Li Xiu'e was surprised by what the two sisters said.
Judging from Xu Chuntao's tone, it's probably true that she learned to read and write at a young age. She also mentioned some novel just now, so it seems that she really knows how to read.
However, the tone and attitude of her speech did not sound like a literate intellectual at all.
Trying to hold back the anger in her heart, Li Xiu'e asked Xu Dongmei, "How old is your sister? You seem to be 25 or 26, right?"
"I am 23 years old, and my sister is this year..."
Just when Xu Dongmei was hesitating to talk about her sister's age, Xu Chuntao said first: "I'm 30 years old, what's the problem? Although I'm older than my sister, I look much younger than her."
"How much? 30 years old?"
A 30-year-old man is fine, but to a rural woman, a 30-year-old is definitely an old girl.
The reason is very simple. It is too far to go to the health center in the town in the mountain village, so they usually give birth at home.
The first child is the most likely to have dystocia. The older you are, the higher the chance of dystocia. No one wants to marry a daughter-in-law who will have problems with the child in the end.
Li Xiu'e thought to herself: Putting aside the issue of having children, his Xiaomeng is only 25 years old, why should he marry a woman five years older than him?
Besides, this person's mind is a little abnormal. She and Xiao Meng clearly didn't know each other, so they let their married sister touch Xiao Meng's hand on purpose.
If you marry her into your family, who knows what kind of trouble will happen to your family?
When Li Xiu'e thought about this, she felt that she could not let her son take on such a hot potato.
"My Xiaomeng has already made an engagement with someone else. Just give up! I will treat today's incident as if nothing happened, just to save some face for you. Don't come to Xiaomeng again in the future."
Xu Chuntao obviously didn't expect that Su Xiaomeng was engaged to someone else, "What? He's already engaged? Who is he engaged to?"
Her sister also asked excitedly at this time: "Aunt Li, when did this happen? Why didn't I know? I asked Xiao Wu, and he said that his uncle has never been engaged to anyone, and he doesn't have a girl he likes.
"
"Anyway, he has already made an engagement with someone. As for who the other person is, why should I tell you? Okay, okay, it will be embarrassing for you if this matter gets out, but don't ask me anymore."
After Li Xiu'e finished speaking, she didn't want to talk nonsense with the two sisters anymore, so she left alone.
As soon as he rounded two trees and was about to walk towards the wheat field, he happened to bump into his son Su Xiaomeng head-on.
Su Xiaomeng's right hand was still holding Xiao Jinbao.
"Mom, why did you stay away for so long? I thought something had happened to you. Jinbao was also worried about you."
"It's okay, let's go quickly..."
Li Xiu'e was about to drag her son out when a voice came from behind, "Wait!"
Xu Chuntao ran forward and asked Su Xiaomeng without giving up: "Are you really engaged? Who are you engaged to? Is that woman as beautiful as me?"
