"What?" Fang Xiuyun's sister-in-law Zhao Xiaolan was shocked, "My aunt had a relationship with an educated youth? When did it happen?"
"Before you got married, many people in the village knew about this. It's so embarrassing!" Zhang Yingzi said, "If it weren't for this, would Xiuyun have married into such a poor family?"
Obviously he didn't expect his sister-in-law to mention this matter. Fang Xiuyun was stunned for a long time and said angrily: "Why are you mentioning this matter?"
"What's wrong? Why don't you let others talk about the bad things you did back then?" The person who said this was not her sister-in-law, but her mother Ye Chunhua.
Looking at her daughter with disgust, she said angrily: "In order to shut up the matchmaker and allow you to marry me, I spent seven kilograms of rice. I get angry when I mention this matter. Others can marry their daughters no matter what.
How about earning some betrothal gifts? Where is our family?"
Having said this, she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "So, daughters are losers, and they are a waste of money when they are born!"
Zhang Yingzi gave birth to three daughters in succession. When she heard that her mother-in-law was speaking to herself, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"I don't know what evil our family has done. The daughter who got married worked hard to have a son, but the daughter-in-law who married into the family couldn't give birth to a son." Ye Chunhua became more and more angry as she talked.
Zhao Xiaolan also gave birth to a daughter last year. Seeing her mother-in-law looking angry, she hurriedly lowered her head and acted like a mute.
In the awkward atmosphere, Zhang Yingzi said: "Mom, aren't we talking about my sister-in-law now? Why are you talking about us again?"
Ye Chunhua hummed and turned to look at her daughter, "How long do you want to stay here? Give me an accurate estimate!"
"Mom, what are you doing? It's not like I came back without food. I have two bags of corn on the cob, as well as sweet potatoes and peanuts. You guys ate them too," Fang Xiuyun said. "Let me stay here for a few more days."
What’s wrong?”
"Hey, it sounds like we care about those corns. Don't you think about how noisy your two sons are? They are shouting to eat pork every day!"
After Zhang Yingzi finished speaking, Zhao Xiaolan immediately echoed: "That's right! That tree root also bullied my girl, and her good arms were twisted purple by him."
Ye Chunhua was also very disgusted with Shugen's grandson, finding him naughty and annoying. "That kid keeps changing his ways to catch chickens all day long. If the hen that lays eggs is scared to death by him, I will slap that little brat to death!"
"Mom, why are you talking like this? He is your grandson after all!"
"What's wrong with my grandson?" Ye Chunhua frowned, "Not to mention my grandson, even my own grandson is not as valuable as the hen in the yard! I don't know how you two raised your child to be skinny.
That’s true!”
Zhang Yingzi sarcastically said, "It's just because of your pampering."
"I heard before that the Jiang family is considered the poorest family in Baihe Village. The father is paralyzed in bed, and several of his sons cannot find wives. Yet they still have the energy to pamper their children."
"I think it's because they spoiled their sons too much that the Jiang family's sons were useless. Now they've spoiled their grandsons and turned them into trash!"
Listening to her mother and sister-in-law's constant ridicule, Fang Xiuyun took out the money hidden close to her body and handed a dollar to her mother, "I know you don't like me staying at my mother's house. I'll give you this money so that I can spend more time in my mother's house."
Stay at the head office for two days, right?"
When she took the money, the three women surrounding her stared blankly, thinking that the pile was full of money, a lot of ten yuan.
"Why do you have so much money?" Ye Chunhua asked.
Fang Xiuyun replied: "The production team paid dividends throughout last year."
"Hey, you have so much money in your hands. It seems that Father Shugen really doesn't know about the affairs between you and the educated youth, otherwise he wouldn't be able to let you take care of this money."
Seeing that the sister-in-law wanted to continue talking, Fang Xiuyun said angrily: "Sister-in-law, can you stop mentioning that educated youth?"
"I'm just curious, whose son is that tree root..."
Before Zhang Yingzi finished speaking, Fang Xiuyun blushed with anger and took out ten yuan, "Is this enough money? Don't bother me anymore."
"Okay, okay, you're rich, you're powerful, can I just shut up?" Zhang Yingzi said with a smile, and grabbed the ten yuan in his hand, but before the money could be warmed, it was thrown aside
Her mother-in-law took it away.
"Since you gave me the money, let me let you stay a few more days." After Ye Chunhua finished speaking, she walked out of the room.
Zhang Yingzi and Zhao Xiaolan walked into the backyard and whispered, "Have you seen how much money she has in her hand?"
"I estimate it's at least two hundred dollars."
"She's so good, she actually brought all the money."
While the two of them were chatting, their mother-in-law took the money and returned to her house, chatting with her father-in-law about their daughter.
"How's it going?" Fang Youcai asked, "Xiuyun said when would she leave? We can't let her stay at our house anymore!"
"She wants to stay a few more days," Ye Chunhua handed the money in her hand to her husband, "This is the money she just gave me. Look..."
Fang Youcai took the money and said in surprise: "A whole sheet of unity?"
"Yeah, I was shocked too," Ye Chunhua lowered her voice, "I'll tell you quietly, your daughter brought all of Shugen's dividends from last year, and they're all in her clothes bag. I guess it's there.
There are more than two hundred yuan."
Under the dim kerosene lamp, the man's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "How much? More than two hundred? Did you read that correctly?"
"I saw it really!"
"Yeah, if all that money is given to us, the hundred yuan or so that the boss owed for building a house can be paid off, and the third and fourth sons won't have to worry about not getting a wife!" Fang Youcai said excitedly.
explain.
His wife sighed, "How can you give it to us?"
"Didn't you say that she might have been divorced by Shugen's father? If she was really divorced, wouldn't the money belong to us? Anyway, Xiuyun is still young, and if you find her another marriage, you can earn a betrothal gift.
money."
"She is already the mother of two children. Who would spend money to marry her?"
"Of course, like those bachelors in their 40s and 50s who haven't married yet."
The couple thought it was a good idea. The next morning, Ye Chunhua went to matchmaker Li in the village and asked her to help find a partner for her daughter.
Matchmaker Li asked doubtfully: "Your daughter? Aunt Ye, don't you only have two daughters? The older one got married five or six years ago, and the younger one also got married last year. When did you get another daughter?"
?”
"Oh, it's my eldest daughter Xiuyun. She and her husband have broken up. I think she is only twenty-four now. She should get married as soon as possible while she is still young. Otherwise, what will happen? She can't stay in my family.
Be an old aunt?"
Matchmaker Li was surprised and said: "Breaking up? What do you mean? Could it be that the affair with the educated youth was found out and her husband divorced her?"
"Eighty percent yes," Ye Chunhua said, "Anyway, let's see if there is a suitable person. It's best to be far away from our village."
"No, this Xiuyun has already given birth to two children, how can I introduce her to a partner? Whose son would marry such a person who has given birth to children?" Matchmaker Li was embarrassed.
Ye Chunhua leaned into the matchmaker's ear and said: "Looking for a bachelor who is forty or fifty years old, or whose wife is dead, or whose wife has run away with someone else. Anyway, I don't ask for much, just give me ten kilograms of rice as a bride price."
