The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 12 About Marriage
He Axiu looked at him distressedly, moved her lips, but said nothing.

"Father, we are full, you can eat..." Shen Sisi said with a smile, "We even caught fish to make soup in the afternoon."

"Yeah, dad, we're not hungry." The three brothers said hurriedly, with smiles on their black faces.

Seeing that they were so sensible, Zhong Gensheng swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and finally ate the pancake silently without saying anything.

Shen Sisi felt moved, and secretly vowed that in the future, she would make her family never push back and forth for a black bread.

At night, He Axiu sighed and said, "I hope that the big treasure, the second treasure and the third treasure will grow up quickly, but I'm also afraid that they will grow up too fast..."

Zhong Gensheng said: "What's wrong?!"

"When they grow up, the family will naturally have more labor, so they can rent a few acres of land to grow, and their life will be better, but..." He Axiu said in a difficult way: "Our times are not good, and the marriage of the three brothers..."

Zhong Gensheng's dark face also became bitter, and he said: "Yes, the bride price is not light now, and what we planted is only enough for rations, what will they do in the future?! They will not be delayed by us..."

"There is also this house, which is small and dilapidated. If they get married, they must also want a house. Girls in the village with better conditions cannot fall in love with our family. Those with poor conditions are even less willing to marry and suffer. If I let them marry someone who has a problem, I will feel sorry, but...you can't let them be bachelors, right?!" He Axiu looked at the dilapidated house and sighed, "When it's raining heavily outside, it's raining lightly at home. It's so dilapidated. A leaky house, how can we make them a family..."

Zhong Gensheng sat on the kang sullenly, took a puff of homemade earthen smoke, and his throat hurt from choking.

Life seems to be unable to find a way out. Seeing that the children are growing up one by one, this... Although there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, but being so poor and unable to find a way to make money and hope, these days are really too difficult It's hard, it's nothing for them to suffer all their lives, it's just that they suffer for their children, and they feel quite guilty.

"Tu Niu..." He Axiu frowned, and said, "Gen Sheng, you said, let Tu Niu marry one of their three brothers, is that okay?!"

Zhong Gensheng didn't say a word for a while, before he said after a long time: "...she is the daughter of a wealthy family, what if they find her in the future?!"

"What if they don't find it?! The native girl is already eight years old. Even if she doesn't marry, she will reach the age of marriage in a few years. You said, if they don't find her, will the native girl never marry? ! People like us, even if we talk about being close, which richer family would like it? It’s better for a local girl to marry someone else’s family than to marry into our own family. At least we treat her like a daughter from the bottom of my heart. If it’s someone else’s family..."

He Axiu said distressedly: "What kind of family can we choose? They are not as poor as us. Even if they are a little richer, they will look at people sideways and look down on us. What should I do if I look down on the local girl and bully her?! We can't give her much dowry to support her..."

He Axiu started to cry when he was sad, and Zhong Gensheng immediately comforted him: "Don't think about it, Tu Niu is still very young, let's talk about her marriage in a few years... Axiu, don't cry, After all, I am useless, if the family conditions are better, hey..."
