Chapter 94： Marry each other

Chapter 94: Marry each other

The affairs of the Liu family and the Zhang family made Qingshui Village lively for a while.

It is difficult to inquire about things in the yamen, but the Liu family is still in the village, and the village has not had any peace and separation issues for I don't know how many years. Now that there is nothing to do, people come to Liu's house one after another to inquire.

After all, they have children and a daughter, and they can no longer live together just after the family separation. It is obviously not because of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Liu was so annoyed by these people that she wanted to throw dirty water on the Gu family. However, they were **** with shackles just once. Gu Mingda was still at home and did not dare to talk nonsense at all. He could only stay there all day long. While beating and beating at home, she saw that Liu Erni's eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose.

Although the divorce was because Liu Erni stole money from her husband's family to support her family.

But Mrs. Liu still scolded her whenever she wanted: "You can't even manage a man, so why did I give birth to a useless daughter like you! It's better now, your brother and his wife are gone too!"

Liu Erni always seemed to keep her head down when facing her mother's family. Even if she was reasonable, she would not dare to refute what her mother said. After all, after years of brainwashing at home, it was her daughter's biggest fault for not helping her brother live a good life.

Liu Erni had only stayed at her parents' house for a few days, and after eating a few mouthfuls of food, her parents couldn't stand it anymore.

"Mom, it's not a problem for my second sister to stay at home all day long. She is still young and can have children, so why not find her a good family." Liu Yao'er said quietly.

Of course Mrs. Liu will not keep raising an unlucky daughter forever, she is also thinking about this.

"Have you found a good home for her?" Mrs. Liu asked.

Families that can raise a Fu Di Mo basically don't treat their daughters as human beings.

"There is a family in Hengshan Village who is willing to pay fifteen taels." Liu Yao'er said softly.

Mrs. Liu was startled and said, "Oh my God, why are you so willing to give up? Ten taels of silver is enough to marry a young girl. Why do you fall in love with your second sister?"

Liu Yao'er said: "There are too many brothers in the family. There is no way for everyone to ask for a wife, so I can only think of this way."

A word suddenly came to Liu's mind: wife sharing.

For rural families, in order to find a wife for their son, it may take them more than ten years to save up the money for the betrothal gift.

In those particularly remote and closed villages, the barbaric method of "shared wives" will be devised: several brothers ask for a common daughter-in-law.

Any family that cares about their daughter will not let their daughter become a shared wife.

"How many brothers does his family have?" asked Mrs. Liu.

"Five brothers."

Mrs. Liu frowned slightly and said, "This is too much."

Liu Yao'er was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he hurriedly said: "Only when you have more brothers are you willing to pay more, otherwise who would be willing to give up fifteen taels of silver to marry an abandoned woman."

Even though Gu Laosan saved Liu Erni's face and chose reconciliation rather than divorce, women in this world were in a difficult situation, and Liu Erni still had the reputation of an "abandoned wife" in the eyes of outsiders.

The old Liu family never cared about their daughter, and Mrs. Liu's hesitation was not because she was reluctant to part with her daughter: "Five brothers, fifteen taels of silver is not enough, you have to add more money."

Liu Yao'er was overjoyed when he heard that the money could continue to rise, and then remembered the purpose of his visit today: "Mom, I don't know if the second sister is happy or not. What if she is not happy?"

Mrs. Liu had a straight face and said, "What's wrong with her? How much harm has she done to our family!"

When Liu Yao'er heard what his mother said, he felt that the situation was determined. He was the youngest son in the family and the only one who was not married. He originally received thirty taels of silver from the Gu family, but he happily wanted to marry the daughter of the Xu family from the next village.

The daughter of the Xu family is beautiful, and the betrothal gift is also high, thirty taels of silver, which ordinary people in the countryside cannot afford. "Mom, if I get the fifteen taels of silver from my second sister, and you can use your family money to pool it together, it will be enough for me to marry Xu." Liu Yao'er said excitedly.

Mrs. Liu did not respond on the spot.

The reason why I was willing to marry my son to the Xu family was because the thirty taels of silver from the old Gu family were all obtained in vain.

Now that she no longer took advantage of her, her son and daughter-in-law would definitely have a huge quarrel if she really used her family wealth to collect money.

"Ten taels of silver is enough to marry a young girl. My youngest, please be careful. The daughter of the Xu family looks like a fairy. Don't even think about it." Madam Liu interrupted Liu Yao'er's sweet dream on the spot.

The Gu family has become lively these past two days.

In the past, people in the village didn't know the inside story of the separation of the Gu family. Now that the divorce has happened, everyone knows that Mr. Gu got thirty taels of silver from the third family.

"Auntie, you don't feel sorry for your third child, and you also feel sorry for your two children. They are only so young, how can they do without their mother? Let me tell you, although the eldest sister of the Li family is a little older, she is honest, not That kind of mean kid!”

The matchmaker was about to say something ridiculous, but Mrs. Gu kept frowning.

"If you don't like the eldest sister of the Li family, you can also look at other families. However, if you are young and beautiful, the betrothal gift will be higher." said the matchmaker.

Mrs. Gu nodded and asked, "Are there any other girls?"

The matchmaker said: "I have told you about the suitable girls from all over the country. If you don't choose, there will be others who are not so suitable."

"What does it feel like to not be so suitable?" asked Mrs. Gu.

The matchmaker said: "Either she is extremely beautiful, like the one from the Xu family in the next village. She is as beautiful as a fairy. The betrothal gift is at least thirty taels."

"Either she is the girl from the cripple's family in your village. She has a big birthmark on her face. She is ugly, old and can't be compared to other people."

Mrs. Gu was stunned when she heard this and asked, "I heard that his daughter is not engaged to be married?"

The matchmaker flicked the veil and said, "It's so shameful! The groom's family has decided to marry and then he regrets the marriage. He just can't get over the hurdle in his heart. He thinks he's too ugly."

Mrs. Gu had an idea in her mind and said to the matchmaker, "Let me think about it again."

The matchmaker relied on the money from the matchmaker to earn a living. Hearing this, she said: "You need to think about it slowly, and when you have thought about it, you must come to me. I guarantee that your third child's marriage will be arranged beautifully!"

Originally, there was no need to be so anxious about Gu Laosan's marriage, but Mrs. Gu was going to enter the county in the next year. She was afraid that Gu Laosan would be confused and marry a family troublemaker, so she hurriedly selected the person first.

After Gu Laosan experienced what happened to Liu Erni, he was very depressed for a while. He was a grown man who was busy taking care of his two children. He didn't have any big requirements for his new wife, as long as he was sincerely good to his two children.

Mrs. Gu looked at several daughters-in-law, and she found that Zhang Yunniang was the best, with good looks, good temperament, and better character.

Mrs. Gu was not a hypocritical person. At the dinner table at home in the evening, she said directly: "Although the girl from the lame family has a big birthmark on her face, she is from the same village. She knows her parents well." If you think about this kind of person, your daughter’s temperament and character will not be bad.”

But all her persuasion had no effect. Gu Laosan said directly: "Mom, I will listen to you, and you will definitely make the right choice."

Among the three daughters-in-law, only Zhang Yunniang was chosen by Mrs. Gu herself.

When Niuniu heard this, she suddenly said: "Uncle Third, do you want to marry Sister Cui'er? I like Sister Cui'er!"
