The heroine of fast time only wants to open

Chapter 260 The Perfumer of the Republic of China 4
This idea flashed through Hua Xian's mind without delving into it.

When I got home, the yard was already clean. Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law Wang Guqiu were cooking porridge in the yard. My younger sister Li Zhucui was crying and washing clothes by the well.

Obviously, Lao Jiang won this argument.

The younger sister was obediently threading rosary beads next to her, but her hands were small and she could not hold the round beads steadily. It took a long time to thread a rosary, and she often rolled the beads all over the yard and chased them.

Hua Xian handed over the five cents and watched helplessly as it flew away from her and was stuffed into Mrs. Li's greasy apron.

Hua Xian recalled carefully and calculated the old lady's savings, which amounted to at least 20 yuan.

It’s all been saved up every penny over the years.

It should be a coffin book saved for myself.

After all, if you are an orphan and a widower, you don't have a man, so you can save some money for your own retirement.

When serving rice, Mrs. Li suddenly placed the thickest bowl of porridge in front of Hua Xian.

In Hua Xian's mind, Li Zhupei immediately felt flattered, nervous and frightened.

It seems that this is not a bowl of porridge, but the last breakfast.

After eating, it's time to hit the road.

Sure enough, the next second Mrs. Li said:
"Pei Yatou, you are 19 years old this year. You will be 20 years old after the Chinese New Year. When I was your age, you had already given birth to your father."

Just now, the Zhong family came to propose marriage again.

This is the second time this month.

The youngest son of the Zhong family is 24 years old this year. He is a good furniture maker. Not only did he make a finely carved huanghuali wood bed for the eldest son of the Wen family, he also went to the capital to make tables and chairs for foreigners.

Those foreigners were so rare that they brought them back to foreign countries to offer them as offerings!
The Zhong family is considered a middle-income family in Yuanle County and has a relatively rich financial background. There are many people who want to marry their daughters into their family.
But after Zhong Wenshan saw Pei Yatou at the gate of Chongfu Temple two years ago, no one could look down on her.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yatou refused to marry and turned away people time and time again.

But this has been dragging on for two years, and the Zhong family also said today that if they don't agree this time, they will never come to their door again.

How could Mrs. Li think that her grandson-in-law was in vain with such conditions?

Although Hua Xian was hungry, he didn't touch the bowl of porridge.

You must have integrity as a person and cannot be bought off by a bowl of porridge.

So she said: "Milk, have another bowl, I'm so hungry today."

Mrs. Li's face darkened, but she still filled another bowl and placed it in front of her.

Fancy finished the bowl in one go and continued:
"Nai, I remember there were pickled radish and dried bacon at home. Just eating the porridge made my mouth water."

Mrs. Li's face instantly fell to the ground, and everyone else was stunned, as if they didn't recognize her.

"Eat, eat, eat! You will marry me after today's meal! It's not up to you!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Li took out a plate of pickled radish and a piece of bacon from the house, and placed it in front of the fancy table with a bang.

Without raising his head, Hua Xian swallowed two dishes that were only available during the festival and drank the other bowl of porridge.

The two younger sisters swallowed hard as they watched.

After finishing the drink, he tore the remaining half of the meat into two pieces, stuffed one piece into the younger sister's mouth, and handed the other piece to the second younger sister's hand.

Li Zhucui was stunned for a moment, snorted, took her own porridge and ate it hungrily.

Guy Li's food has never been good, and his three daughters have never eaten anything good, and meat has never been seen in eight lifetimes.

After finishing the meal, he casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said to Wang Guqiu, who had been silent and had his head lowered:
"Mom, this porridge, radish and dried meat is not delicious, so I won't share it with you today. I will treat you to delicacies from the mountains and seas when I make money."

Mrs. Li sneered when she heard this:
"What are you daydreaming about? These days, stop delivering goods and make sewing. Just make your own wedding dress. My old lady has no money to hire a seamstress for you."

Hua Xian said: "Who said I was getting married?"

Mrs. Li almost choked at these words, pointed at her tremblingly and said, "Then what did you just eat!"

"You gave it to me voluntarily! I didn't say 'give it to me and I'll marry you'."

Mrs. Li picked up the spoon and was about to hit her.

He jumped up and escaped, and the grandfather and grandson chased each other in the yard, causing a lot of noise and causing neighbors to climb the wall to watch the show.

That night, the Zhong family sent a matchmaker.

Hua Xian made it clear that she would not marry, and after many attempts to persuade her failed, the matchmaker also became angry and started spouting curse words one by one:

"Oh, my dear, my grandma! You think you are the Jade Emperor's fairy. You look so coquettish that even the Zhong family doesn't like you. You plan to be a chicken and Yang uncle!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Zhucui and Hua Xian took action at the same time, pushing her to the ground and beating her.

Li Zhucui has been an expert at cursing since she was a child. She simply rode on the matchmaker’s head and cursed:

"You bastard bitch! You stuffed your mother's donkey excrement in your mouth! I have never scolded my eldest sister like that, but you are a rotten bitch! Let's see if I don't tear your bitch mouth to pieces! "

After scolding him, he really went to tear the matchmaker's mouth apart, and her upper and lower jaws were broken so much that she could fit a big pear into it.

The matchmaker screamed in pain on the ground.

In the end, he stopped doing anything fancy and just laughed and cheered from the side, as if he was just watching the excitement and it was not too big a deal.

Well. The final result was that they were both scolded bloody by Mrs. Li.

The matchmaker, with a bruised nose and face, cried and complained in the streets.

Since then, the reputation of the Li sisters has spread.

Within an hour, the eldest brother of the Zhong family, Zhong Wenshan, came to the door with a black face and asked for an explanation.

It's a small matter for the matchmaker to be beaten, but it's a big deal for the Zhong family to lose face when they propose marriage!

Mrs. Li and Wang Guqiu apologized repeatedly.

Huanxian leaned against the door and said:
"Brother Zhong, you know best what your brother is like. I am a girl from an innocent family and will not marry to death."

Zhong Wenshan is an honest and reliable man, and Li Zhupei has been married a long time ago.

The problem is that this man says he likes her and will not marry her, but he still looks for flowers and is very romantic.

I heard that I recently planned to marry an actor as my concubine.

Brother Zhong: "You are a bad person?! Any man with some ability has three wives and four concubines. Only those who have no ability and money can only marry one wife."

The bells and whistles annoyed him to death: "Okay, okay, let me tell the truth, I just don't think he is rich enough. If I want to marry, I want to marry someone who can afford a concubine with seven or eight bedrooms!"

These words were so destructive that the eldest brother of the Zhong family was so blocked that his orifices almost bled. He said harsh words such as "Don't regret it!" and slammed the door angrily and left.

After the people left, the Li family was in a state of chaos again.

Mrs. Li used all the curse words she could to curse Hua Xian's head. She felt that she didn't understand the current affairs. It was not a big deal for a man to marry a younger one, as long as he kept his position as the principal wife.

Huanxian closed his eyes and listened to her scolding, and his mind wandered midway, as if he didn't take it to heart.

Mrs. Li scolded her until she finally gave up. She sat on the stool and gasped in anger.

In the dead of night, Hua Xian couldn't sleep. She was thinking about the small incense burner and wished she could dig it out at the foot of the mountain now.

In the middle of the night, she was stunned. The little girl next to her pushed her, rubbed her eyes and said, "Sister, I want to pee."

The Li family's toilet was built in the backyard and was made of wooden boards, which was very unstable.

Hua Xian was afraid that she would fall off and drown on her own, so she got up and led her there, squatting outside and watching in boredom.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the little girl entered, Hua Xian heard the undetectable cry for help from a child in the dark.
