Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 32 The matter of the second uncle
"Today happens to be Saturday. Li Lin, please send these grains to your grandparents' house."

Li Lin, who was drinking stick noodle porridge at this time, swallowed the stick noodle porridge and said
"understood"

After Li Lin finished eating, Li's mother handed the prepared food to Li Lin.

Since Li Lin's first cousin and second cousin have become apprentices in the factory, they don't need to send so much food as usual.

You can also free up food to support other relatives.

Just when Li Lin was about to leave, Xiao Ruoyan stopped Li Lin.

"Li Lin, I want to go back with you to see my parents."

Li Lin said, "No problem."

After speaking, Li Lin and Xiao Ruoyan rode to the village together.

After delivering food to his grandparents' house, Li Ning and Xiao Ruoyan came to Xiao's house together.

As soon as Xiao Ruoyan's sister-in-law opened the door, she saw Li Lin and Xiao Ruoyan.

"Why are you here?"

Li Lin said, "Isn't this coming to my grandparents' house to do something.

Then Ruoyan heard that I was coming to the village, so she came with me to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Xiao Ruoyan's sister-in-law also understood when she heard this, that Xiao Ruoyan came to the village to deliver food to his grandparents.

But he didn't say anything, he just welcomed them into his home.

He still has a very good impression of Li Lin, because Li Lin gave his family twenty kilograms of stick noodles last month, which made his family's life less difficult last month.

At this time, Xiao's father was smoking in the yard, and when he saw Li Lin coming, he said happily

"Why is my son-in-law here?"

Xiao Ruoyan said, "Li Lin came to the village to do some things, and then I came with him to see how my father and mother were doing."

When Father Xiao heard this, he said, "What else can it be like? It's the same as before."

Xiao Ruoyan looked inside the yard and found that there was only his eldest brother but his second brother was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's the second brother? Why haven't I seen his people?"

When Father Xiao heard this, his head suddenly hurt and he said
"Didn't this stinky boy get hooked up with a girl from the next village recently?

He has been meeting the girl quietly recently.

Your second brother thought I didn’t know.”

Xiao Ruoyan said, "The girl from the next village? How is that girl's character?"

Xiao Ruoyan's eldest brother Xiao Zhengdong said
"In our ten miles and eight villages, they are famous for their hard work, but their family's situation is more complicated."

When Xiao Ruoyan heard this, she immediately knew it in her heart.

"Is that the girl named He Hong?"

Xiao Ruoyan's eldest brother nodded, indicating that it was this girl.

Father Xiao sighed immediately when he heard this and said, "Their family values ​​boys over girls, and all the dirty and tiring work is left to that He Hong.

And the only male in the family is a lazy, uneducated and unskilled person."

The reason why Father Xiao had a headache was because their family had clearly marked the price for their daughter, as long as they could afford the price, they could take it away directly, which was not a big deal for Father Xiao.

But what he was afraid of was when he would be relied upon by this family, and when there would be no peaceful life in the future.

After all, he has seen this kind of thing a lot, and he doesn't want to live that kind of life.

It is said that people from all over the world know that the girl can endure hardships and stand hard work, but they don't know the specific temperament.

Not everyone is as reasonable as his son-in-law's family.

When each family chooses a partner for their children, they must find out what the other person's temperament is like, as well as the other person's family conditions and family situation.

To be honest, he is still a little dazed about his daughter marrying such a well-off family.

What he fears most now is that the He Hong that his second son likes is someone who likes to help her family.

In his opinion, it is okay to help his daughter-in-law's family through difficulties, but it cannot become a bottomless pit. It is impossible for him to run to help others before he is full.

He Hong is well-known in ten miles and eight towns for his hard work and hard work, but his family is also famous in ten miles and eight towns.

This has something to do with Xiao's father's headache, because He Hong also has an older sister.

And the elder sister has already been married, and the person the elder sister married is considered to be in relatively good condition in the village.

But later on, He Hong's family often went to play the autumn wind.

Because of this incident, He Hong's sister did not live well in that family.

A married daughter wants to live a good life in the family she marries into. First, her natal family has the confidence, and second, her husband loves her.

Although Xiao Ruoyan had heard of He Hong's reputation, she didn't know what was going on in his family.

Xiao Ruoyan didn't know much about these.

Because he spends most of his time reading and does not participate in the affairs of the village
And this also caused the little girls in Xiao Ruoyan's village not to like Xiao Ruoyan very much.

One is that Xiao Ruoyan is sought after by men in the village.

The second is that Xiao Ruoyan is a person who has studied in junior high school.

And there are not many people like Xiao Ruoyan who have studied in junior high school in the village.

Especially the only female doll is Xiao Ruoyan.

So this naturally aroused the jealousy of the girls in the village.

Why are we all girl dolls, we have to help the house with the housework, and you are tanned and smeared, but you Xiao Ruoyan is white and tender.

To them, Xiao Ruoyan is just a white swan.

However, they all believed that Xiao Ruoyan would eventually marry someone from the village.

It is also because of this that they expect the white swan to become the same person as them.

But the result was beyond their expectations.

This also made them deeply understand how powerful the power of appearance is.

A person in the city with a job and a very good family background married Xiao Ruoyan just because of his looks.

Although Xiao Ruoyan is very thin because of this era, she has a very good foundation.

And Li Lin has lived in this society for 16 years and is used to seeing the general appearance of people in this era.

So when I saw Xiao Ruoyan, I felt astonished as a heavenly man, so it was Xiao Ruoyan who didn't want to marry.

And Xiao Ruoyan also knew what the girls in the village were thinking.

This is one of the reasons why I don't want to play with them.

Xiao Ruoyan said, "Then what is their family's situation like?"

Father Xiao said, "A family relies on a strong laborer to earn work points, how can the conditions be good?"

Xiao Ruoyan said, "There is only one man in their family?"

Father Xiao said, "There are two of them, but there is one who eats, is lazy, is ignorant, and that person is He Hong's younger brother that your second brother likes."

Xiao Ruoyan also frowned when he heard this. After all, no family wanted to have such a relative.

He also finally understood why his father was so dissatisfied with the person his brother liked.

"Then why don't you stop the second brother?"

Xiao's mother heard this and said:

"We are also planning to show him off today. We don't want him to continue like this."

In Xiao's mother's opinion, although He Hong's reputation is very good, she doesn't like He Hong very much, of course, because the factors in her family account for the majority.

When everyone was silent, the door was opened, and it happened to be Xiao Ruoyan's second brother Xiao Zhengbei who came in.

Xiao Zhengbei looked at his brother-in-law and his sister and said, "Why do you have time to come home today?"

Father Xiao interrupted Xiao Zhengbei's words and said,

"Have you recently fallen in love with that girl from the He family in the next village?"

Xiao Zhengbei said unnaturally when he heard this
"I don't know which one I'm dating"

Xiao's mother saw that her son was obviously trapped, so she said, "Don't pretend to be stupid, your elder brother saw it with his own eyes, and people in the village saw it too."

When Xiao Zhengbei heard this, he stood there stunned and didn't know what to say.

Father Xiao said, "I don't believe you don't know the situation of the He family.

Once you marry that girl from the He family, you will be raped by the He family.

If we don't wake you up, I don't know how you will live in the future."

Xiao Zhengbei heard this and said, "But I like He Hong, just like my brother-in-law, he fell in love with my sister at first sight."

Li Lin was eating melon on the side, but suddenly he said that he was a little overwhelmed.

Father Xiao said, "I'm going to ask you a very practical question. If He Hong's family asks you to help them in the future, will you help them?"

When Xiao Zhengbei heard this, he immediately didn't know what to say.

He naturally knew what his father wanted to express.

Aren't you just afraid that He Hong's family will be a bottomless pit?
Father Xiao looked at Xiao Zhengbei who was silent and said, "Any girl from any family can do it, but that girl from the He family can't do it.

If you don’t listen to me, then from today onwards I will not recognize you as my son.”

Xiao Zhengbei didn't know what to do at this time, with his first love on one side and his father on the other.

"Father, I don't believe that when my brother-in-law went to tell the people in the family that he wanted to propose marriage to our family, there was no objection in his family.

But his family finally agreed. Isn't it because my brother-in-law likes my sister? "

Li Lin was quietly watching the development of the situation from the sidelines, but he didn't expect that it would be involved in him inexplicably.

But what my second uncle said was indeed correct.

After all, when he said that he fell in love with Xiao Ruoyan, his parents wanted to object.

If it wasn't for the lessons learned from his second brother, I'm afraid he would have to make trouble for a while because of this matter.

So at this moment, he sincerely thanked his second brother.

Father Xiao immediately became angry when he heard this. After all, according to Xiao Zhengbei's words, his daughter is not good enough for Li Lin.

"Okay, let me ask you a very practical question, how much dowry does their family want?"

Xiao Zhengbei choked when he heard this.

Father Xiao said, "Their family wants 30 yuan, plus [-] catties of grain.

This is higher than your sister's bride price. Your sister only needs 20 yuan.

And what are the conditions for the person your sister is marrying?Don’t you have any idea in your heart?

You don't think our family's conditions are better than those of the family your sister married into, do you?"

Li Lin looked rather embarrassed on the side, because it seemed that he was the one talking.

Seeing that Xiao Zhengbei stopped talking, Xiao's father continued to speak, "Anyway, I will definitely not agree to this marriage."

Xiao's mother said, "My child, don't blame your father. You have to know how our family will live in this day and age if you really marry He Hong."

Xiao Zhengbei said, "The reason why you don't agree with He Hong marrying into our family is because their family's conditions are not good, and their family's situation?"

When Father Xiao heard this, he said directly, "Since you know, are you still with her?"

Xiao Zhengbei said, "Anyway, I don't want to marry her. If I can't marry her, then I will be alone for the rest of my life."

When Father Xiao heard this, he immediately kicked the bench away and said, "That's good, that's really good. Get out of here now, I don't recognize you as my son."

Xiao Zhengbei was also stubborn when he heard this, he immediately rushed out the door.

Mother Xiao became anxious when she saw this scene.
"Boss, why don't you hurry up and stop your brother?"

When Xiao Zhengdong heard this, he hurriedly went out to chase his younger brother.

Li Lin didn't know whether he should step forward to help at this time.

It was Xiao Ruoyan who asked Li Lin to take his eldest brother on a bicycle to stop his second brother.

Li Lin caught up with his uncle on a bicycle, "Brother come up quickly"

Xiao Zhengdong didn't hesitate when he heard this, and sat directly behind Li Lin.

Father Xiao was very angry and sat on the bench smoking a pipe.

Mother Xiao persuaded, "Or we'll admit this marriage."

When Father Xiao heard this, he threw Zao Yan aside and said, "Let me admit this marriage, it's better to let me die."

Xiao Ruoyan said, "But I think the second brother seems to be really moved by the way he looks."

Father Xiao said, "Is there anything to eat when you have true feelings these days?
Ruoyan, I can tell you a very practical problem, if the conditions in Li Lin's house are not so superior.

If Li Lin is not in the iron job, then I will definitely not let you marry him.

No matter how good the relationship between the two of you is.

Because I don’t want to see you suffer in the future.”

Xiao Ruoyan didn't know what to say when he heard this.

She still clearly remembers that when she first married Li Lin, Li Lin's parents didn't treat her very well.

After all, they are the wrong people.

Fortunately, Li Lin's parents' attitude towards him became better and better later on.

This is also because Li Lin loves himself very much and is reluctant to let himself suffer a little injustice.

Li Lin often talks to his parents about things about himself.

So Xiao Ruoyan could also understand why her father didn't want He Hong to marry into her family.

After all, how could he like a daughter-in-law who was not from the right family and was a drag on his own family?

So Xiao Ruoyan felt very lucky to have met Li Lin.
