Chapter 418 Selecting a Family
"Mom, there are so many men about the same age as me in the village. You should be diligent and ask around." Zhang Chunhua shouted to her mother dissatisfied in the dilapidated and dark thatched house.
Don't blame her for being impatient. Seeing that the lives of the people in the village are getting better and better, and the food is rich and stable, she doesn't want to marry outside.
Previously, the old village chief and the village master had promised to hundreds of people from Magistrate Wu that as long as they came forward to confront the enemy, they would leave a piece of land to build houses if they wanted to. She did not come forward to confront the enemy, but she I don’t even look down on recruiting a son-in-law!
What's so good about recruiting a son-in-law? Not to mention that there is no betrothal gift, and you have to build your own house. The couple needs to take care of all the big and small things at home. It's better to marry someone. Everything is ready-made, how comfortable it is.
Aunt Zhang was also anxious and said in confusion: "I don't know what's going on. There are so many old men in the village, but none of their women came to me to talk about marriage matters. There is no way for the woman to do this first." Speaking to the man."
She looked at her daughter. She was short, her hair was a little yellow, and her skin was a little darker. But what did these matter? Her daughter could work. She was obedient and worked hard without complaining. She could do everything in the fields!
"Mom, work hard. Look how good Aunt Ding is. After finding Hu Wenhua for Ding Jiajia, she can buy land and forests in the village. I heard that the Hu family is planning to build a house." She had thought that Hu Wenhua was tall and strong before. It's very scary, and the family is staying at the house of my married sister, so they don't have anything they want.
I just didn't expect to be able to buy a family property in such a short period of time. The floods and wars did not cause any losses to the Hu family, and they even added to the family property.
If she had known that the Hu family was so rich, she would never have disliked Hu Wenhua!
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang became angry.
She had obviously had her eye on Hu Wenhua before, but he didn't like Chunhua at all!
She looked at Chunhua and complained: "Ding Jiajia is so good-looking. Her face is like a peeled egg. Her body is thin where it should be, and there is meat where there should be meat. Look at you, you look like a bamboo pole. You Mom, what's the use of trying harder?
Men must love Ding Jiajia more. Before, your mother-in-law taught you to be proactive, but you disliked this and that. Now, let’s let others take the lead. "
Zhang Chunhua burst into tears, stamped her feet and cried: "What will Aunt Ding give Ding Jiajia to eat? What will I eat? It's dark every day and the batter is served with wild vegetables. Will I be able to gain weight?"
Besides, what's the use of Ding Jiajia's fleshiness? Can she wash clothes faster than me or farm the land faster than me? "
Zhang Xiaoxiao heard his mother and sister arguing and couldn't help but interject: "Sister, girls can't just wash clothes and farm the land. You see Ding Jiajia understands medicinal materials. I heard that she is in charge of the medicinal materials shop, and Sister Xiaocao is one of them." She can earn more than 600 yuan a month, can Ding Jiajian earn less than her?
Even if Brother Wenhua doesn't look for Ding Jiajia, Ding Jiajia can still find someone better! Besides, not only Ding Jiajia, but also our sister Xiaocao is very easy to talk about marriage. "
Zhang Chunhua glared at her brother bitterly, biting her lips and remaining silent.
Aunt Zhang was immediately excited!
He pointed his finger at his daughter's head and said proudly: "Your brother is right, look at you."
Zhang Xiaowu interrupted first: "Mom, Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding are working for Sister-in-law Shui Qing, and the wages will only be more or less. Besides, even if they don't work for Sister-in-law Shui Qing, their life will still be easy with their skills in collecting herbs.
Everyone in the village knows that they are capable, and they only have one daughter, Ding Jiajia, who sticks to her for everything good. Others would propose marriage even to such a diligent and capable in-law. I heard that Sister-in-law Fan regretted it before, even Both the second and third pillars agree, right? "
Second Aunt Zhang had a stern look on her face and argued with her neck: "The Fan family has many sons! We have four sons, but what if one of them gets married?"
"Then the Hu family only has one son. I have heard that in the future, the children of Brother Wenhua and Ding Jiajia will have the same surname as Ding Jiajia. Do you think it would be possible if it were another woman?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked back.
Aunt Zhang was so speechless that she couldn't speak.
She glanced at her son secretly, feeling that after a few incidents, her son seemed different from before.
But her son reminded her of one thing.
After sending her son out first, she said to Chunhua: "Father and mother, you know that we will never find a son-in-law for you! Since you don't want to marry to another village and just want to stay in this village, then the pillar of Mr. Fan's family is I can see it.”
Zhang Chunhua used to think that Fan Dazhu was very good. He had a brick house, a lot of fields and mountains, and his brother was older and could work more than just a free meal. His family should be good, but that was before!
"Mom, it's not like you don't know what's going on with Mrs. Fan. You have to serve the elders and take care of the younger ones, so I won't jump into the fire pit."
Aunt Zhang was so angry that she pinched her daughter's arm and said angrily: "You are stupid, then Mrs. Fan is gone. Fan Qian is lying on the bed, and Sun Jinhua is nagging you to marry me." You can directly take charge of the matter!
You don't have to be punished by your mother-in-law. Those two people still have to look at your face. If you are happy, you will stutter, if you are unhappy, you will be hungry. Can they still resist?
With a handful of food and money, wouldn’t life be better than before? "
Zhang Chunhua thought of Sun Jinhua's face in the past and lowered her head to think.
Aunt Zhang took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "That's a brick house. You'll live in the best room as soon as you enter! Big legs are bad, so I have to rely on you even more."
If you hurry up and give birth to a few fat boys, your waist will become even harder. "
The most important thing is that there is no woman from any other family in the village who wants to talk about the marriage, so she can't go there and ask, right? Even if she could ask shamelessly, how could she still agree without being asked?
But Fan Dazhu is different. Sun Jinhua is crazy and has no wife at home. He just needs to marry a wife. If she asks, it will be done.
The Fan family used to be one of the richest families in the village. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. She asked for a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver.
She had already inquired about it. Ding Jiajia only had eight taels. Ha, what's the use of raising her well? She is not as valuable as her daughter!
Zhang Chunhua was shaken.
Mother is right! It's just that it's been almost two months now. I haven't seen Fan Dazhu go out. I don't know how much his broken leg has healed...
"Chunhua, don't worry. Fan Dazhu is in this state now. If he wants to marry you, mother will definitely ask for a few more things for you! Then you will be more glorious than Ding Jiajia and suppress her!
Besides, Ding Jiajia is marrying Hu Shuiqing's younger brother, and you are marrying Fan Jin's nephew. The real old Fan family is much closer than hers."
The hesitation in Zhang Chunhua's heart was dispelled by vanity. More glorious than Ding Jiajia? Mother really loves her.
"Okay, then mother, remember to ask for a few more things for me. I remember that the Fan family has a silk head flower, you must ask for it for me."
It is better than all the girls' hair in the village, even Ding Jiajia's is a cloth flower.
"Okay, mother will go right away!"
