"No, absolutely not, Lan Ya is not our daughter, why should I ask someone to marry our daughter?"
In the south courtyard, on the kang of Shen Debao's house, the head of the family, Shen Debao, just heard his wife's proposal, and exploded with a groan: "Everyone knows that this marriage between our family and Lao Zhang's family is what our daughter wants at all costs." , Now fill in other people's Lan Ya, why do you make people think about us? Don't you want everyone to poke our backs?"
Shen Debao is not a good person, but he is by no means a bad person. To Shen Ruolan, a niece, he has always been in a state of neglect and disregard. Shen Ruolan was hungry and cold, and had a bad life. He never ignored her. , in his eyes, what happened to Lan Ya was the second child's business, and it was also the second child's responsibility. As an uncle, he had no responsibility or obligation to take care of it.
Besides, even if he wanted to, he couldn't manage it. He was just a farmer, and the little grain he harvested throughout the year was not enough for his wife and children. How could he have any leftover grain to take care of the children in the second room? It would be fine if the child was a boy, after all, he was from the old Shen family, and he would admit it with a little extra effort from his own mouth, but that child was a girl, and sooner or later the girl was from someone else's family, he It's not worth taking the food and rice from other people's families to feed other people's people.
With this kind of thinking, he has always cared about Shen Ruolan's life and death, and the relationship between the father and father is like a stranger. Now let him calculate a niece that he has never cared about and took care of, he doesn't have such a big face.
Yu Shi had long thought that her masters would react in this way, but she was not afraid. After living together for so many years, she had a thorough understanding of his temper and temperament, so she naturally knew how to overcome him.
"Look at you, you yell when you speak, and pull it down when you can't do it. What are you arguing about? Besides, I'm not only planning this for Meier, I'm also doing it for Lanya, okay? Think about it, Mr. On the other hand, Lan Ya’s child is hungry and full all day long, how hungry is she? Our family is poor, and we can’t help the child even if we want to. Instead of doing this, it’s better to let her marry Lao Zhang My second kid, at least we can’t let the child starve, can we?”
She complained in a good voice, "Besides, the second child is always not at home. Lanya lives in a place where a girl lives in the shadow of the lamp. In case any bachelor or rascal misses her and makes something embarrassing, Do you want the face of our old Shen family? You still have a daughter and a son who are not married?"
Yu Shi is considerate and will not be tough with her men. She knows what her men care about and what they are afraid of, and a few soft words shake his original firmness.
"That's not okay, the second child is still alive, so why should we make decisions for his daughter?" Shen Debao said in a muffled voice, but his tone was no longer as firm as before.
Seeing the looseness of the men, Yu smiled: "Although we are not Lan Ya's parents, we can't make decisions for her, but don't we still have a mother, who is Lan Ya's real grandmother, and we can always make decisions for the second child." .”
"The old lady won't agree." Shen Debao knew his old mother very well. Except for the third brother and money, the old lady didn't care about anything, and it was even more impossible for her to get involved in the messy affairs of the two of them.
"Don't worry, the old lady will agree." Mrs. Yu was full of confidence.
why
Because from the separation of the family to the present, their eldest house has been a well-behaved son and grandson of the old lady, and every year five hundred catties of food for the elderly has to be sent to her.
Of course, this is all insisted on by her elm bumpy man. She has two sons who will also be mother-in-laws in the future, so it is not good to stop them too much, lest the future daughter-in-law have something to say, so, although the heartache is terribly, Still gritted his teeth and stood up.
On the other hand, look at the second child, he didn't give the old lady any pension money, the old lady took the third child to ask for it a few times, it's not a human thing, so he just hid out.
The same son, why should his family go out to get food, and the other one doesn't pull out a dime? She has been unbalanced for many years, this time she can think about it, if the old lady refuses to help, then she will not pay the pension food in the future, not even a grain, anyway, there is a second child there to compare Now, she is not afraid of other people's gossip.
When the time comes, she will talk to the old lady directly to see if she dares not help!
Xin'er thought so, but she said something different: "Do you still remember that monk You Fang told our mother's fortune, saying that my mother had a granddaughter who was destined to be the empress? There are only two granddaughters, Mei Er and Lan Ya. You know, Lan Ya, she is as thin as a dry monkey, with her head slumped all day long, and it is difficult for her to find a mud-legged child with a wealthy family. Fancy her? Unless you're blind."
"Our Mei'er is different. She is handsome and has a lively and lovable personality. Maybe she will have a great fortune in the future. If he really obeys his words, won't our family be safe? By then, we will become the emperor. Relatives who love the country, drink hot food, and enjoy endless glory and wealth. Our family Fucun and Jincun can also become rich and wealthy, but if she is allowed to marry the second boy of the old Zhang family, Meier will be a village in her life. Wife, what hope can there be?"
Youfang monk
Feng Ming
Shen Ruomei, who was lying outside the door and eavesdropping, was stunned, this was the first time she had heard of it.
It turns out that she still has such a remarkable fate, my lord!
Shen Ruomei was overjoyed, so she just said, with her looks and figure, it is absolutely no problem to be the wife and young mistress of a rich family, but she is not only the wife and young mistress, she is the fate of the mother!
Then... Mr. Ding is just a small shopkeeper of the coffin shop, isn't he not good enough for her
Just as she was struggling, her father's voice floated out again: "Do you believe what Monk You Fang said? They are all charlatans, why did they lie to an ignorant village woman like you?"
"Oh, that's not necessarily true. Back then, he did all the calculations for those people in our village. If you don't believe me, you can ask Shunzi's mother. The monk said that Shunzi married a wife and had children at the age of seventeen. Don't you think it's just right? I got it, I think we Meier might get it too." Yu retorted.
Shen Debao picked up the cigarette pipe and pot, and said disapprovingly: "Even if the calculation is accurate, so what, the monk is talking about my mother's granddaughter, and he doesn't just refer to our Meier. The third child has not yet married and has a child. Maybe it should be in the third child's house on my daughter."
"Come on, with the monkey-headed and eight-faced virtue of the third child, what good-looking girls can be born."
When it comes to her uncle, Yu is full of resentment. Her uncle has always been a handyman since she was a child. You said that you are a countryman, so you can farm the land well to live? I have to go to school in a hustle and bustle, saying that I want to be the number one scholar and become a high-ranking official, but I was enlightened at the age of eight and now I haven't even passed the exam for a scholar. It's really embarrassing.
