If Da Ya is good-looking, she will definitely marry high.

But no matter how good-looking you are, if the dowry is not generous, how will you be able to stand firm in your husband's family in the future?

So much.

In addition, Xu Darong was not very interested in raising money, so after saying this, he gave up the idea.

Now, Yao felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

"Forget it, we make our parents unhappy, and they don't make us happy either. Jiang is still too old and we can't do anything about it. When you guys go back to the city, Feng'er, you should use more snacks. You should also learn from it.

If you become a housekeeper, you will have to learn to be a housekeeper when you get married. Those wealthy families have many rules. Da Rong..." Mr. Yao began to explain what they would do after returning to the city.

Xu Chengfeng cried while listening.

Xu Darong was also very unhappy. He came from a male family and was used to being served by the Yao family. Now that the Yao family was suddenly not around, he was not used to it at all.

But for the sake of reputation, he couldn't control it.

"Don't worry, you stay here for two or three months first. When your parents calm down and the second brother's affairs are settled, I will send someone to pick you up on any excuse. It may take two or three months at a later time, or it may take a long time.

A few months."

Yao felt relieved, Xu Darong still had her in his heart.

It is common for the son to find a job outside the home while the daughter-in-law takes care of the elderly at home. This situation is a common phenomenon in both rich and poor families.

If Xu Darong really doesn't want her anymore, it makes sense to leave her in Xujiacun for the rest of her life.

"Okay, Darong, then I will be filial to your parents at home, and you can rest assured. Feng'er, after you return to the city, you must listen to your father's words."

Just as he was talking, Xu Dalang came back.

Xu Dalang was not as dependent on his mother as Xu Chengfeng, and instead said, "Mom, just stay at home for a while. If you can stay until April or May next year, when loquat paste is in season, you can help make loquat paste at home. We

In the county town, loquat paste has become popular in neighboring counties this year. Those black-hearted traders, I sell thirty-one tubes here, they sell a tube for a hundred cents, and the profit is huge. I heard people say

, this year’s loquat season is already halfway through, and I just started it as a last-minute idea. If I make preparations and plans early next year, I think I can make more money. This is the property of our old Xu family, and we are a big house.

You should take responsibility..."

After hearing this, Xu Darong and Yao both thought deeply.

Everything has two sides, good and bad.

Xu Darong just said that the idea of ​​taking it as little as a month or as much as two or three months has been given up.

Or maybe it's better to just let nature take its course. Maybe it's not such a bad thing to keep the big house at home.

Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise.

This time he sued Lao Yuan's family for selling Sanya. When it came time to redeem Yuan Qiang Yuan Zhuang, even though it was troublesome and had some twists and turns, didn't he still end up with a surplus of ten taels of silver? Who knows?

Yes, isn’t it also a blessing in disguise?

***

Let’s talk about the old Yuan family.

After smashing pots and selling iron, he collected twenty taels of silver and redeemed Yuan Qiang and Yuan Zhuang.

That's really a waste of money.

Originally, they planned to let Yuan Xiahua go back to Lao Gao's house and steal something to sell, but they failed to steal anything and were beaten and injured and rushed back.

There was really nothing else to do now, and it was urgent to save people, so they sold the family's only source of income, a few acres of dry land, as well as the two old hens they raised.

The pipes and pipes that the old man smoked were taken to the pawn shop and signed for dead.

Even for the slightly better windows, two were removed and sold to make up for the number.

Nowadays, we are really so poor that we don’t even need to take off our pants to fart.

The whole family, no matter men, women, old or young, had no food to eat, so they went into the mountains every day to pick some wild vegetables and come back to make soup.

In the past few days, Old Yuantou and Mrs. Yuan did not dare to go out at all. As soon as they went out, their neighbors would point fingers everywhere, making them shameless to see anyone.

Especially the old leader and the children throwing things at them!

Small stones, rotten vegetable leaves, cow dung, dead cockroaches, whatever disgusting things were thrown at them.

Several times, Lao Yuantou's forehead was hit several times with small stones and wrapped in large lumps. He couldn't find who hit him everywhere, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.

I never dare to go out easily again.

It was impossible not to go out. At night, people would throw things like snakes, insects, rats, and ants into their house. Their house was so poor that even the windows were covered with broken straw curtains. They didn’t even have any cloth curtains.

The cave is so broken that anything thrown from the outside can be thrown in.

The women and children of Lao Yuan's family were so frightened that they screamed.

Yuan Xiaohai's reputation couldn't be worse. Not only did he have no friends to play with him, but the girls in the village showed contempt when they saw him.

Even those seven aunts, eight aunts, and aunts looked at him with ridicule and contempt.

What's the point of saying that the useless grandson of Lao Yuan's family has no future by selling his sisters to get a wife? If there was a girl in my family, she would not marry into Lao Yuan's family even if she was blind.

How did the Lao Yuan family get their money? It was all obtained by the blood and tears of the women in the family. The men in the Lao Yuan family were born with no ability, and they all lived by enslaving the women in the family...

Those words were so unpleasant to hear that Yuan Xiaohai turned red with shame and did not dare to go out.

There was no food at home, so the whole family couldn't starve to death, so her mother Wu went to borrow food from door to door in a humble manner.

Generally speaking, poor mountain villages often encounter famine years or other difficult times. It is normal for people in the same village to borrow food for emergency relief. Borrowing a bucket for a bucket will not generate interest or anything. It is just a kind of neighborly relationship.

As a result of getting along harmoniously, there will be no phenomenon of borrowing and not repaying.

Lao Yuan's family also borrowed food before, and later paid it back when they got it.

But this time, when the Wu family went out to borrow grain, no family in Luozigou was willing to lend it to them, not even a grain or a half.

He refused to borrow money and even said something unpleasant, scolding the Wu family for not being a thing. Marrying into the old Yuan family would have made people sympathize, but the Wu family was not a thing. She worked with her father-in-law, mother-in-law and husband to sell other people's girls, and she had no control over her son's marriage.

Worry, I have learned everything from Lao Yuan's family tradition, and he is also a despicable thing.

Okay! I didn’t borrow the food, how could I do it? When I got back, I was scolded by Mrs. Yuan again.

Mrs. Wu then went to her parents' house to borrow some, as much as she wanted.

As a result, when her mother-in-law's family saw her coming, they closed their doors immediately, saying that she was unlucky, that she was a sinner who had been in the Yamen, a criminal, and a disgrace.
