In the end, under the pressure of Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen and Shen Ruomei both shut up and stopped talking about Lao Ding's family wanting to marry Shen Ruomei. Propose marriage.
The reason why Shen Ruomei compromised was not because she was afraid of her father, but mainly because she was not satisfied with the identity that Lao Ding's family had promised her. Otherwise, if Lao Ding's family agreed to grant her the status of a regular wife, her father would refuse her with his life, and she would Never compromise.
…
When Zhang Sima returned to the town, it was already noon, and because she was hungry, she happened to see a restaurant she knew well, so she walked in with a thick waist, ordered a jug of wine, a plate or two of meat dishes, and took care of herself. After eating and drinking, my face was flushed, I was so happy!
Mr. Ding was waiting for news of her at home. He waited and waited but still couldn't see her coming back. When he got impatient, he sent someone to inquire, only to find out that the old man had come back a long time ago and was drinking in a restaurant. Mr. Ding was anxious After listening to the result, I couldn't wait for her to reply, so I went to find her in person.
As soon as I walked to the door of the restaurant, I saw Zhang Sima's face was full of spring, and she walked out with a slightly slanted foot. Mr. Ding greeted her and asked, "Mom, how are things going today? Can I go back to the mountain village?" smoothly?"
Zhang Sima smiled, revealing two rows of pink big-toothed flower seeds. Once it’s done, I’ll help you take care of it, and I’ll make sure you get what you want.”
Mr. Ding knew there was something for him as soon as he heard this, so he smiled and said: "Why do you water it? I still hope my mother will give me some pointers."
Zhang Sima came to Mr. Ding's ear with a smile, and murmured a few words. Mr. Ding suddenly became enlightened, beaming with joy, and said again and again: "Mom is very resourceful, and you really are here to help me. There is no marriage that cannot be made."
Fourth Mama Zhang drank two more glasses, and she was very proud of seeing Young Master Ding flattering her, she said with a sly smile: "That's right, because she is cunning, she is like a ghost, and she also eats my old lady's footwashing water..."
The two discussed again, decided on a strategy, and then walked away.
Two days later, the Li family in Taohua Village
"Mom, it's not good—"
Zhang Jinfeng ran back from the outside in a hurry, and before entering the house, he shouted in surprise: "That shameless little vixen of the old Shen's family has another master, my brother has been dumped!"
Cui Zhang and Cui Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were frying five-spice peanuts in the kitchen. When they heard this, they stopped their movements and looked at Zhang Jinfeng in unison.
"What's wrong? What are you doing? Who dumped your brother?"
Mrs. Cui Zhang stood up from the stove, her old, reddened face was covered with sternness. Obviously, she had understood what her daughter said, but she was not sure yet.
Zhang Jinfeng stomped his feet: "Who is being careless? Now everyone in ten miles and eight villages knows that the young shopkeeper of the Dingji coffin shop in the town went to the old Shen's house to propose marriage to that little vixen, and the old Shen's family also agreed. What about the dowry gift of twenty taels? You said, she went to find someone else blatantly before her marriage with my brother was repaid. Isn’t this a slap in the face of our old Zhang family? How will our family behave in the future? ?”
At this time, Zhang Jinfeng was angry, hated and jealous, what happened to Shen Ruomei, where would the old Zhang family face? Now, others must look down on their old Zhang's family even more. The lower social status of the old Zhang's family will directly affect the quality of her finding a husband's family. Can she not be angry
And that Mr. Ding, you said he wouldn't look for so many good girls, so why did he insist on looking for that little slut who was engaged? If... If there is really no suitable person, won't you come to her? If you come to propose marriage to her, she will definitely be happy.
Unfortunately…
Why!
She gritted her teeth, her heart was sour, sour.
The family is in decline, why is it so difficult for her to find a good husband's family
Mrs. Li Zhang threw away the spatula in her hand, and said in a fuss, "Oh, my mother, what's the matter? Isn't this our old Zhang's family? Mother, what should I do?"
Mrs. Cui Zhang put on an old face, and said: "What's the hurry, wait for your father and the others to come back first, and let them inquire carefully before we talk about it. If there is such a thing, I will not take them to stop, and want to bully our family? Hmph , they don't want to live a peaceful life!"
"Mother, my father and the others have come back in the middle of the night, why are you still inquiring about it? Let me tell you, why don't we all go to the old Shen's house and talk about it first, so that they don't think our family is easy to bully."
Zhang Jinfeng is a character who is afraid of chaos in the world, especially at this moment when he is jealous, and wishes to rush to the old Shen's house and beat that coquettish fox hard.
Mrs. Cui and Zhang really want to go to the old Shen’s house and talk about it, not for anything else, if there is such a thing, so that their old Shen’s family can return the ten taels of silver to her as soon as possible. For those with legs, if you bring back the ten taels of silver, you can plug a big hole again.
But, she really can't leave right now. The five-spice peanut recipe that Er Yong brought back sells for hundreds of catties every day. The three of them went out to sell it, and she brought her daughter-in-law to make it at home. There is a clear division of labor, and one is indispensable. If she puts down her work now and goes to the mountains to fight in the mountains, who will do the peanuts? What are you going to sell tomorrow? You can't delay making money just to win your breath!
"Well, let's wait for your father to come back. If we leave now, who will make the peanuts? There will be nothing to sell tomorrow." Cui Zhang said honestly.
Zhang Jinfeng didn't take it seriously: "We can't finish it, so let my brother and the others come back to do it at night. You see, Peanut can do it in the middle of the night. Reasonably, there is no way to go in the middle of the night."
Cui Zhang thought about it, and felt that what her daughter said made sense, and now she was also anxious to know what was going on? He was anxious to get back her ten taels of silver, so after cooking the pot, he turned off the fire, took his daughter-in-law, and headed murderously to Gushantun.
That afternoon, Shen Ruolan was writing at home when she suddenly heard harsh scolding from the south courtyard. It was the voices of two women scolding each other.
She put down her pen and quietly ran to the bottom of the south wall of the front garden to eavesdrop, but she heard that the aunt was arguing with someone, and it was very loud.
It's just that the aunt's temper is not as aggressive as others, and she can't scold them at all. She scolds others, and they can scold her four or five sentences, and every sentence is unbearable. What are the children of the younger brother, etc., they just scolded their heads like blood, and played a lot of tricks!
After listening for a while, Shen Ruolan could hear who was yelling at the aunt, and couldn't help but secretly stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhang Eryong was honest and kind, and there was such a fierce and tough old lady, which was really surprising!
