The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 56

Luo Xiaohua has two older sisters, and the marriages are not very good. The main reason is that the Luo family accepted the dowry but did not give the dowry and just let the daughter marry for nothing.

Naturally, such a little lady basically has no status in her husband's family.

Now Luo Xiaohua is going to marry an old man in his 30s. The key is that the man still has such bad things. It seems that the Luo family almost sold their daughter for five taels of silver.

Hey, from this point of view, compared with Luo's family, the old Fang's family is more benevolent and righteous.

Although the dowry wasn't too much, at that time Fang's mother really tried her best to let the daughter bring more things, so that she could try her best to make her look better when she got married.

It's also to make life easier for my daughter in her in-law's house.

So, why did Fang Qingqing think of a way to avoid the disasters described in the book for Fang's family, hoping that her parents, brother and sister-in-law's life would be easier in the future?
What makes Fang Qingqing feel strange is that even if Li Xiaomei had a good relationship with Luo Xiaohua before, how could that little lady easily tell outsiders about such a private matter?

Moreover, Li Xiaomei is just a weak woman, so what effect can Luo Xiaohua tell her about this kind of thing?
Li Xiaomei's face | expression | was a little embarrassed, she looked at the third sister-in-law for a long time before she said dumbly: "Actually, it was Luo Xiaohua who wanted to marry the third brother at the beginning."

After all, a betrothal gift of eight taels of silver is rare, not to mention Hongqiao Village, or the entire Pinghu Township, but the fortune teller said that only Fang Qingqing's character is the most prosperous scholar.

Others will not have such a blessing.

That's why Li's mother made up her mind to hire the young lady of the Fang family, and if it wasn't for this reason, she wouldn't increase the dowry gift of five taels of silver that she had originally prepared to eight taels of silver.

Fang Qingqing was very speechless, "Luo Xiaohua really wants to marry your third brother? At that time?"

She added that sentence on purpose, which was really shocking.

It is true that after Li Sanlang passed the examination as a scholar, there were many girls in the village who wanted to marry him.

But when the mother-in-law let out the news that she was going to tell the youngest son about his wife, Li Sanlang was already ill in bed, and even the doctor had hinted that he couldn't make it through and almost asked the old Li's family to prepare for his funeral.

Under such circumstances, Luo Xiaohua still wants to take the initiative to be a happy bride?
Suddenly, Fang Qingqing remembered again, the reason why the original owner was passive and didn't want to marry at that time and even escaped in such a stupid way as suicide.

Didn't he just listen to someone else's instigation, and this so-called other person vaguely seems to be that Luo Xiaohua?
Fang Qingqing frowned, this Luo Xiaohua was very problematic.

After hearing what the third sister-in-law said, the expression on Li Xiaomei's face was a little hard to describe.

But she also knew that sister-in-law San was telling the truth.

"Yes, but at that time my mother only wanted third brother to marry you, so don't think too much about it, third sister-in-law."

Fang Qingqing shook her head and said no, but she was still curious: "Is she looking for you now just to complain, or?"

Li Xiaomei looked puzzled: "What are you talking about? I feel sorry for her, but I can't do anything about it. Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo agree that Xiaohua doesn't want to marry even if she doesn't want to marry."

In fact, Li Xiaomei is in a bad mood, and she feels a little empathetic.

They are all young ladies in their teens, and they are almost at the age where they want to talk about marriage. I don't know what kind of husband's family her mother will find her?
Li Xiaomei knew that because the third brother was selected as a scholar, many people in the village came to propose marriage during that time.

But the third brother's body was so seriously ill later on, even though it looks much better now, there are still people gossiping behind it.

There are still many people who are not optimistic about the third brother. Even the doctors only say that the third brother's body looks much stronger than before, but they will not say that his body is completely healed.

What the third sister-in-law didn't know was that after getting married, the third brother insisted on going back to school to study in order to take the exam next year.

At first, the parents disagreed, and they were also frightened, thinking that the third brother was studying too hard and exhausted his mind, which is why he became so seriously ill this time.

They all felt that the third brother should take good care of his health at home, or the third brother refused, saying that he would give it a try no matter what.

At that time, even if she didn't say it publicly, Li Xiaomei knew even if she was the youngest child in the family.

The third brother is not in good health, and he often asks the doctor to take medicine. If it weren't for the scholar's examination, the chief family might not be able to continue to support him in his studies.

In the past two years, seeing that the nephews have grown up and are about to marry, the brothers and sisters-in-law are complaining about continuing to support the third brother's education.

That's why the third brother doesn't care about his body, he must take the exam next year, and he also hopes that he can pass the exam so that life at home will be really easy.

Being a scholar can only make people look up a little bit, and speak more weight in the village.

It's different after being admitted to Juren, it's a real opportunity to change the lintel, this is what the third brother said to persuade his parents.

In the family, only Li Xiaomei and Li Sanlang are the closest in age, so she understands the third brother's mind best. He has been studying hard for so many years, but he has held his breath and wants to let the whole old Li's family look high upon him when he goes out.

The third brother said that they only took one in the whole county in the last township examination, and they were still at the end of the exam.

Even if it was just that, at least that person could be honored as "Master Juren", and the whole family moved from the dilapidated earthen house in the countryside to the county town and lived in a high gate compound.

From a low-class untouchable to a family of farming and studying, it has become a truly decent family.

"Sister-in-law three, you are the lucky star of our family. Since you married, third brother's health has improved a lot. It is also because of you that we all eat meat."

Even though they only get a small piece of meat each time, the broth still tastes delicious.

That night, Niu Niu said that the meat was delicious and it was the first time she ate meat at such an age. Li Xiaomei just went out to pour water and passed by the room of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and saw that her sister-in-law seemed to be about to cry.

What she didn't tell the third sister-in-law was that, in fact, that night, her mother also cried in her arms.

The mother, sisters-in-law, and elder sisters basically don't know how to eat delicious food at home, and the father, brothers, and nephews can't tell the difference.

It was only after the third sister-in-law came in that Li Xiaomei, like Niuniu, could eat meat.

At that moment, even if there was no mother's instruction, Li Xiaomei planned to be grateful for the kindness to the third sister-in-law for the rest of her life.

It was originally talking about Luo Xiaohua, but it turned out to be the sister-in-law confiding in her heart, and she kept expressing her gratitude to her.

Fang Qingqing 囧, in fact, she only wanted to eat better for herself at first, and teaching the people of Lao Li's family to make money was just incidentally and mainly for the sake of showing things in her space.

Fang Qingqing was ashamed of being so gratefully expressed by the Li family, but felt more and more responsible for bringing the whole family to make a fortune.
