Aunt Zhu sat on the small bench and didn't know what else to say to Tian Ye. Her refusal was too blunt. Who can live like this?
It was really difficult for me to marry such a daughter-in-law. I was so angry at her that I was confused.
But there is a severe drought this year, and there will definitely not be enough food for everyone, and their family does not have a daughter who can trade two generations of corn to support the family.
There is really no place to look for the conditions of the wild girl's family. Their head of the family inquired in the brigade and found that half of the families in the village owed work points to the brigade. The wild girl distributed food every year, so there was no famine in the brigade.
Taking into account the grain harvested by the wild girl on her own plot and the vegetables in the yard, it is enough for two or three people to live on throughout the year.
With such conditions, I am afraid that if I start too late, others will take care of me. I have a third son and a little daughter, so one more bite of food will give me more security.
Aunt Zhu looked at the two tufts of hair standing on Tianye's head, and the wrinkles on his forehead couldn't be healed. Which of them matched his eldest son? She said cruelly, closing her eyes: "Wild girl, look at the eldest son."
How is your eldest brother?"
Tian Ye didn't know that Aunt Zhu couldn't bear to look at him even with her eyes closed, but she still proposed marriage. How helpless was this? Why is it so difficult?
The Zhu family next door is definitely a high-class family in the village. If the Zhu family had to rely on their own one-acre private land to survive, Widow Wang's family would basically not have any income.
It was easy to reject the Zhu family, but Tian Ye was afraid!
There were many people in the village who were eyeing her little fortune, and the Zhu family was considered the most serious family.
Although the couple of the Zhu family have some calculations, they will not use it to ward off themselves. The most important thing is that the boss of the Zhu family looks down on him.
It's better to let the Zhu family worry about you than to worry about the likes of Sun Er Lezi and Widow Wang.
Tian Ye wanted to use the Zhu family to block the gun, so he hesitated a little when he spoke. In Zhu's opinion, it was because the wild girl was interested in her eldest son and was ashamed.
If it had been any other time, Aunt Zhu would have said something like, "A wild girl, a shameless toad who wants to eat swan meat, dares to miss her son."
But now Aunt Zhu is in a desperate mood. Angry and happy are so intertwined that she can't even express her feelings: "Wild girl, how are you?"
Tian Ye spoke very slowly: "Auntie is always talking about the eldest brother of the Zhu family who hangs out with the educated youth at the educated youth spots."
Aunt Zhu said to herself, look, in this girl's heart, her son is almost in the know.
However, in order to avoid the misunderstanding of the wild girl, he still said very modestly: "He just went to school a lot and felt that he had something to say to the educated youth, so he went over to talk."
Tian Tian: "Oh." Then it disappeared.
Aunt Zhu is so worried. Why are you, a wild girl, so reserved? "Girl, I'm asking you something. What do you think of your elder brother?"
Tian Ye sat on the bench and picked green onions: "Why are you asking me this?"
Aunt Zhu asked in her heart, "Do you need to explain yourself?" Tian Tianxin said, "If you don't explain clearly, then you will bury yourself and pester your son. Who am I to explain to you?"
Even if you are using it to block a gun, you still need to be reserved.
Aunt Zhu said harshly: "Auntie, I want to ask your elder brother to help you, so that our two families can get married."
The green onions in Ye Ye's hands were already two knots, and he thought to himself that Aunt Zhu had finally held it in. This Aunt Zhu was in a difficult situation. She usually looked at the eldest son of the Zhu family, who looked like pearls and jewels, and wished that even the fairies in the sky were not worthy of his eldest son.
, now looking at my own appearance, I feel so aggrieved to propose marriage to my eldest son.
Tian Ye said very reservedly: "As you know, aunt, I don't know how to do needlework. I'm afraid I won't be able to please aunt. I have nothing to do with studying and going to school, and I have nothing to say to your eldest brother. I can't compare with those who know the truth. I don't know how to do this.
Dare to think.”
Aunt Zhu thought about the day when it rained and pulled out the ditch, Ye Tianye was still clamoring for a man who could sew and thread, and she felt uneasy in her heart. Her son wanted to go to the kang to do sew and thread, and she was too embarrassed to see anyone.
When she proposed marriage at home, the wild girl had the nerve to say this to others. Could it be that she wanted to make herself agree to become the boss's needlework? Aunt Zhu's face was a little distorted for a moment.
Looking at Tian Tian's expression, he slowly said: "Can't you learn needlework if you don't know it? If you take a step back, you don't have an aunt, and I can embarrass you for this little thing. I haven't come back from school.
Are you still farming in the village? That means it sounds nice to go out, but we country people have to live a down-to-earth life."
Tian Ye watched Aunt Zhu finish struggling with this, and then said another sentence in a daze: "I don't look like a person."
This, this is really a tough joke. Aunt Zhu opened and closed her mouth, opened and closed her mouth, and after a long time, she finally managed to say: "An ugly wife is close to the land and the treasure is in the family. She looks like she is easy to care about whether she is hungry. We are living a good life, and we don't even have to marry a wife."
Look at this. Besides, you’re not ugly either. We country folk don’t like to dress up, we’re all like this.”
Tian Tian suppressed his laughter. After so many years, Aunt Zhu can praise herself like this without conscience. It is so happy. Why is she in such a high mood?
If Widow Wang had praised her so much, she would definitely not have kicked her out. Look, Aunt Zhu still knows how to speak.
Aunt Zhu didn't want Tian Ye to say anything heartbreaking again, otherwise she would back down.
He said earnestly: "Girl, I'm not telling you anything. I don't dare to say that my life is better than now when I am my daughter-in-law. But I definitely won't let outsiders bully you. If the old Zhu brothers stand up, who dares to do so?"
Don't raise your eyes to look at us. You live alone, and you don't need to tell me how hard it is to live alone. You know how hard it is."
Tian Ye: "I must be happy that my aunt can look up to me. If my eldest brother doesn't open his mouth to such a decent person, I wouldn't even dare to think about it. But I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry when it comes to kissing."
Aunt Zhu: "What does age have to do with marriage? We don't get married right away. If you are willing, the two families can decide on the marriage first. The same will happen if you get married in a few years. Auntie also feels sorry for you and lives alone.
It’s not easy, it’s only natural that I’ll take care of you after you get married.”
Tian Tian sighed: "Auntie, you also know that I live alone. Captain Tian and his family have helped me for so many years. I respect the captain as an elder. My marriage requires the nod of the captain and my aunt.
"
Tian Ye made a plan in his mind. He would banish unscrupulous people like Widow Wang and Sun Er Lezi himself. He was not afraid of offending such people.
When a serious family like the Zhu family wanted to get married, she would push it to the captain and let him try to mess up the marriage.
Tian Tian didn't believe that Captain Tian could let himself go under someone else's nose before he knew whether he had what he wanted.
