Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 170
Mrs. Xu just boiled water and came over with a tea tray. Seeing that Mrs. Fang only asked about her son, she was a little proud and hurriedly said: "Hong'er has already made a marriage, but the family has not been able to come up with a betrothal gift, so it is delayed." marriage."

"Oh." Fang replied and stopped talking.

Seeing that Fang only cared about Fang Hong, Mrs. Liu felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "Your eldest niece, Min'er, is sixteen this year, and she hasn't been married yet. What's suitable for Eldest Sister? She will pick our Min'er when the time comes." One, I don't pick any conditions, as long as the children are of the same age, motivated, and willing to study, and the family just needs to be a sixth-rank official like my brother-in-law."

Luo Tian's face twitched immediately, and he glanced at Fang's calmly, which meant, look, before you even open your mouth, he is asking you for a son-in-law.

Except for Fang Caishui, the Fang family had sons. Seeing how many males there were, it was no wonder that Grandpa Fang didn't think much of his daughters.These days, women can't support the household, and the family fights because they have more sons. Even if they give birth to a crooked son, they are better than a diligent and filial daughter. not on.

this is the truth.

When Mrs. Xu heard Fang's mention of Fang Hong, she understood what Fang was trying to say.With a father like Xu Butcher, the Xu family is generally fussy, stingy, and unwilling to suffer.She pretended to be concerned and asked: "Isn't Mingdu's marriage getting close?"

"I came back for her marriage." After listening to her natal sister-in-law and younger siblings for a long time, she didn't hear a word that was satisfactory, and she became a little impatient, and said simply, "My sister-in-law also knows. Mingdu is married, and I want Hong'er to help her out."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was very proud, and said: "Oh, look at what my sister said, we are a family, and we are all married to such a big happy event. We should do our best. We are all sisters, and Hong'er carries her on his back." It is reasonable to say that there is nothing to say when going out, but unfortunately, Hong'er has been working at home these days and has been seriously injured. The doctor said that he should not be allowed to do strenuous work, because he is afraid that he will lose his health."

Fang's face was patient, and said: "Sister-in-law, we won't get married until September, and there are still more than two months." Fang's meaning is that no matter how hard you plow in spring, you should be able to raise them until September Alright.

Xu said: "The doctor said that it will be raised for several months. Let's not talk about ginseng and ganoderma. We can't afford it. We can drink a chicken soup a day, eat two eggs, and there is money for the medicine. I can't work for a few months, oh, sister, you don't eat the rice in the field now, I don't know how hard the farming is, how old is Hong'er, if the root cause of the disease is left, what can I do in the future? At that time, no matter how many dowry gifts were posted, no girl would marry in.”

Luo Tian wanted to swear, didn't he just carry a little girl weighing more than 40 kilograms and walk out the door?The yard of her house is not big, and the journey is only a matter of a few minutes, so how big a deal can be.Isn't Xu's long-winded talk so much just because he wants money?

Seeing Xu's evasion, Mrs. Liu said: "Isn't it just to go out to recite the name? Since Hong'er is not in good health, I will ask Yang'er to recite it. We are a family of flesh and blood, so what do we do when we see others?"

Fang was startled: "I remember that Yang'er is only nine years old this year, so he can't memorize names."

Liu Shi waved his hand: "He has great strength, he must be able to carry it on his back."

Just as they were talking, several of Fang's children came in to visit their aunt, men and women lined up to see their aunt.

Luo Tian could see that Fang Hong was born tall and strong, and he didn't look a little sick and weak as Xu said.She despises her very much, what kind of relatives are these?According to her temper, she would go back immediately after pulling Fang Shi away.

Fang's thought the same way, and she became more and more disappointed with her natal family. For such a small favor, her natal sister-in-law would have to negotiate terms with her, which is worse than even a close neighbor.

The children called aunt in a hurry, and Fang felt a little discouraged, and didn't bother to take out the prepared greetings. She just took out a bag of candy from the basket and sent them to share among themselves.

A few children snatched the candy and dispersed in a hurry. Fang Hong, who was older, saw two beautiful cousins ​​coming to his house. He wanted to save face. Although he was very greedy for the candy, he held back and just stayed where he was. , secretly took a look at Luo Mingdu, thinking that his cousin was so handsome, compared to the wild girl he was engaged to, she was just like a fairy.

He couldn't help complaining to his mother again. With such a beautiful cousin, she didn't know how to settle down early and get closer. My uncle is now an official. If he was the one who got engaged to Luo Mingdu at the beginning, he would have an official in the future. The master has become the father-in-law.

Fang Hong looked at Luo Mingdu, and Luo Tiandu kept staring at Fang Hong. She still couldn't understand the little boy's thoughts, so she felt more and more that it was a bad idea to let Fang Hong go out with Luo Mingdu.

Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Xu, and she was very disdainful towards Mrs. Xu. The Xu family is really a typical person who only recognizes money but does not recognize people. They have been married to the Xu family for so many years. Every time she goes to the butcher shop to weigh meat, she asks Xu butcher is not willing to build an extra bone. This Xu family is just like Xu butcher. He only hates that Yang'er is too young and can't remember Luo's name even if he is so big. Otherwise, she would really let Fang Yang go. back.

She coughed and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is now an official in Beijing. Is there anyone in my sister-in-law's house? You can't let the eldest sister do some chores at home, right?"

Fang said: "I bought two people to help take care of it."

Mrs. Liu said: "Where are two enough? Look at the name, she is going to get married soon. She will marry to Qi's family. She must bring a dowry. In this way, the eldest sister's family will only have one servant, and Xiaodu will also be married." Now that she's grown up, she can't go out without someone, right? I heard that those officials' wives will bring several maids and daughters-in-law with them when they go out." At this point, she pulled Fang Min towards Fang's face. , said: "Sister, what do you think of Min'er? This kid is a bit stupid, but he is obedient and hardworking. Anyway, you will buy another person in the future. Why don't you let Min'er take care of Xiaodu, and I will also take care of you." I don't want any salary, as long as the elder sister takes care of the food, housing, and clothes throughout the year, I just ask the elder sister to take care of her, see if there is a suitable child in Shangjing, and find a good family for her, and give the dowry to the two Just lift it."

Nonsence!This Liu family really has a good idea.He made it clear that he would send Fang Min to take care of him, and made it clear that he wanted Fang to take care of food, housing, clothing, and dowry.

She was wrong.She always thought that Yao family was a strange flower on that high mountain, but now, Yao family is nothing more than normal. Fang's natal family is the real strange flower, the best of all flowers.What's even more superb is that when the two daughters-in-law of the Fang family said such things, none of the men in the Fang family came out to object, and they seemed to be taking it for granted.

Then Grandpa Fang spoke up: "The second daughter-in-law is right, you want to buy someone anyway, why don't you ask the big girl to come over, so that your family can feel more at ease."

When Fang Min heard that Auntie and Grandpa were going to send her to her aunt's house, Fang Min was a little embarrassed on the surface, but hoped that her aunt would agree.The girls of the Fang family have never been taken seriously, she is the first granddaughter of the Fang family, she is not the oldest, but she does more and heavier work than her cousins, and she doesn't get a good word from her grandparents , she is also willing to go to Beijing with her aunt.

Luo Tiandu secretly pinched Fang, reminding her not to agree.The Fang family has made it clear that they want the Fang family to give Fang Min's dowry. If the Fang family really agrees, the Fang family will leave it alone, and Fang Min's age is different. Speaking of which, he is still an aunt and nephew. no matter what?No matter, Fang Min will be rotten at home in this life; no matter, there are so many sons and daughters in the Fang family, if this one is taken care of, the Fang family will have more reason to stuff the others in.

The Fang family is not that stupid, she was a little worried about Luo Mingdu's marriage, so she ran to her mother's house and sat there for a long time, but her mother's family had the same attitude and said: "Father, my family is living a tight life now. Baba, in Beijing, I do all the cooking and laundry by myself, just to save the wages of a few hired workers. Most of the people who work as servants outside are those whose families are too poor to make ends meet, so they sell their children, Min Er is the second sister-in-law's own daughter and father's own granddaughter, and the family is not so poor that they can't get rid of it. How can you let Min'er go this way?
Liu's face changed: "Who said Min'er was to be a servant? You are her aunt, and she is going to help you with things. Do you want her to sign a contract of sale? Fang Chunhua, why are you so cruel? As an official wife, I look down on my natal family, right? With such a vicious heart, it’s no wonder that I can’t have a son, my daughter is married, and there’s no one who will carry her out. I'll let Yang'er go. Pooh! I'll just throw my good intentions to the dogs."

Luo Tian couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up with a "huh", picked up the basket and left.The things in this basket were all earned by her, and she didn't want to use them for the Fang family.

Fang blushed, hurried to pull her, and said in a low voice: "Xiaodu, what's wrong with you, don't lose your temper."

Luo Tiandu said: "Who are they? You still don't understand. I told Eldest Sister that I will recite it. In the future, if Eldest Sister has anything to do, I will help her. What are you afraid of? My nephew will be more important than my own daughter." is that useful?"

Fang knew that she was extremely angry, and she was also a little embarrassed. The behavior of her family made her daughter look down on her. She despised her from the bottom of her heart, and she also felt a little resentful. Isn't she just betraying someone?This is such a big deal, but my sister-in-law asked for a lot of things. She was in Shangjing, and every time she went to Luojia Village to pick up something, she would never forget to give it to the Fang family. Although it was not as rich as the Luo family, it was still quite Well, the peasant family may not be able to earn these all year round, so how could they be so disregarded?
Luo Tiandu stuffed the basket into Fang's arms, bent down, and said, "Sister, I'll carry you."

Luo Ming was so angry that his eyes were red, he blinked hard to keep his tears from falling, then raised his face and said with a smile: "Xiaodu, it's okay, on the day of getting on the sedan chair, the elder sister walked alone, our family can do it Right, sit upright, what am I afraid of."

Even if someone carried her out that day, what does that mean?There are still only four people in her family, and God will not give her an older brother or younger brother. She can only rely on herself for the rest of her life. If her husband's family wants to bully her, she can only be bullied.

Luo Tian didn't even bother to tell her, squatted in front of Luo Mingdu, supported her hind legs, and actually carried Luo Mingdu back up steadily.

Fang looked at it, tears suddenly flowed down, she wiped it casually with her hand, and smiled.

Alas... what is this called!
