The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 20

"You said that Miss Meng was the girl my uncle liked more before?" Mrs. Zhou had long forgotten about it.

"Well, I don't know what to do tonight." The only sound left in the kitchen was everyone's breathing and cooking.Finally finished the dinner under the premise of everyone's indigestion, sent the children to play, and the rest sat on the table in silence.

"Third, what do you want us to do today?" Grandma Shen was the first to speak.

"Mother, I know I was wrong." Uncle Shen also saw what happened this morning.

"You're wrong, what's wrong with you, I don't think you know what's wrong!" Grandpa Shen held up his own cigarette pole and was about to hit third Shen.Everyone was busy stopping Grandpa Shen and making a mess.Uncle Shen looked at his younger brother who was sitting there waiting to be beaten, and kicked him in a moment of anger, shouting, "Why are you still sitting there, why don't you admit your mistake?"

"Father, mother, I really know I was wrong." Uncle Shen thumped and knelt on the ground.This move surprised everyone.

Grandma Shen looked at the third child who was kneeling, and was busy comforting everyone, "Okay, old man, sit down first."

After everyone watched Grandpa Shen sit down, they all found a place to do it well, as if listening to the training.

"Third son, get up too. Do you know where you are wrong? You say you are wrong, but you don't know where your family is wrong. That's why your father wants to beat you." Grandma Shen said in a low tone.

"Mother? I..." Uncle Shen's explanation was interrupted by Grandma Shen, "Okay, don't rush to argue, your mother and your father are not old-fashioned, you are both my children and I don't know what you think .”

"Today, my old lady will have a good talk with you. Do you know why other families didn't separate, but our family separated after the second child got married?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in puzzlement. They were still puzzled by the sudden change of the topic to the matter of family separation.

"Your father is the head of the village, how many people are staring at you. Don't think that no one is jealous of the official. I agree with you to separate the family. The main reason is to let you live your own life after you get married. Of course, you are also worried about your daughter-in-law after you get married. The conflicts among them affect the peace of the family. Look at the overall noise in the village that is not divided, and now I think it is still divided into the right family. Usually, your father and I have to think carefully about what to do in our family before making a decision." Probably they will sum up the experience and pass it on to the next generation, so as not to go the wrong way in the future.

"Although your father has not brought wealth to the village for so many years, he dare not make mistakes in his actions. The elders in the village are all watching. It is only after all these years that your father has been recognized. If nothing happens, the boss will take over your father's position in the future. So your father takes the boss with you for any matters in the village, and let the boss run errands for you. This is to let the people in the village know the truth, so that you won’t cause trouble for the boss in the future. When the eldest daughter-in-law is not married, she is the boss of the family and can take care of the following Brother, he is generous and doesn’t like to care about things, so that he can help the boss in the future, and the other things are not important.”

For the first time, Boss Shen knew the intention of his father when he did things, so he shouted in a choked voice: "Father and mother, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you in the future." My mother-in-law is grateful for her own sake.

"The second child usually doesn't talk much but is careful. The second daughter-in-law is an orphan and has no natal family. She is gentle and keeps talking to her parents. She doesn't like to join in the fun. After the separation, you and your father can rest assured." Grandma Shen Continuing to talk about Father Shen's family, Grandpa Shen sat there silently giving spiritual support.

"The third child, after we get married, we have to separate out, so we have a lot of requirements for a wife. I have met that girl Meng before, and she is a good girl."

Grandma Shen's words were interrupted by Uncle Shen's happy face, "Mom, have you seen her?" Uncle Shen was very happy to hear Grandma Shen praise Miss Meng.

"But that Miss Meng is not suitable for our family."

"Why?" Uncle Shen didn't accept this explanation, his face was full of confusion.

Looking at the sadness of his own child, the teenager started to feel emotional.Grandma Shen also felt uncomfortable, "You should know the situation of Miss Meng's family, and you should also know the requirements of Miss Meng. If our family really marries her, not to mention that it will cost about 30 taels of silver every year, let's say that you are married. How will you live in the future?"

"It's just farming." Uncle Shen was amused by his mother's question, what else could the village do without farming.Others can hear it, especially Mrs. Zhang.Grandma Shen pointed at Mrs. Zhang weakly, "Talk to him about it."

"Uncle, don't talk badly about sister-in-law." Mrs. Zhang looked at Shen Laosan cautiously, and continued: "The girl has a grocery store at home. She must have looked after her younger brother before he got married. Then you go Where do you grow the land, she can’t be in the town and you are at home. If you help him in the town, when her brother grows up and takes away the grocery store, you will be equivalent to doing coolies and white labor for others.”

"It's the door-to-door son-in-law." Shen Xuan let out a loud thunder, blowing everyone up.Isn't it true? If you really marry that girl, it's really no different from the son-in-law who comes to visit. You need to pay for the grocery store, and when the younger brother grows up, there will be nothing left in his hands.

"Xiaoxuan!" Uncle Shen spoke harshly, angry at his niece for slandering others.Zhou's and Shen's father next to him both frowned, displeased with Uncle Shen's behavior.My own daughter is reluctant to train herself.

"What are you yelling at, what Xiaoxuan said is not wrong at all." Grandma Shen sternly stopped Uncle Shen. "Why do you think Ms. Zhao asked his father to come to the village? Aunt Wang is here today to retire." Grandma Shen was very dissatisfied with Uncle Shen's behavior of protecting others.

"What?" Mrs. Zhang didn't hear about the divorce at home today. Mrs. Zhou and Father Shen expressed their concern.

"Third son, you are spoiled by us. You have to know that after you get married, you will live separately, and you can't keep your eyes on what to do in the future. Why do you think that girl from the Zhao family met you and Miss Meng?" I'm talking, people have already found out what's going on, so I caught up with it." When everyone heard this, why did this matter still exist.

"Mother, it's all right, Miss Zhao, what are you doing asking about these things?" Shen Xuan was speechless when she heard her uncle's questioning, usually she couldn't see that her uncle's feelings were idiots.

"Who doesn't inquire about getting married? Your elder sister-in-law also inquired at the time, and even your second sister-in-law did not agree to it until we watched it a few times. Besides, didn't our family also inquire about others?"

Grandpa Shen looked at Uncle Shen who bowed his head and said nothing, and ordered in a stern tone, "Tomorrow, first go to your Aunt Wang's house with me to make an apology, and then go to the woman's house to have a look. Solve any problems as soon as possible, and don't really come out on the wedding day. "Grandpa Shen stood up and came into the room with the cigarette stick ready.

Grandma Shen looked at the old man's back, and said earnestly, "Third brother, it's not that we disagree with you and Miss Meng, the main reason is that the girl is not suitable for our family. You have your own ideas when you grow up, think about it carefully. "Grandma Shen also left, and the others left after looking at each other. Only Uncle Shen and Shen Xuan were left on the table.
