Nongmen Blessed Wife: Xiaojiao Bao Wangfu became rich

Chapter 3 Marriage Difficulties
Mrs. Cai looked at the money at home with a sad face.

The family relies on selling tofu for a living. With the small business and the expenses of a large family, the two grandchildren still have to study, which is already very difficult.

The eldest grandson is going to get married next month, but her family hasn't even got the money for the banquet yet!

At this moment, Zheng Xu's mother, Mother Zheng opened the door and came in: "Mother!"

Mrs. Cai looked at her daughter-in-law, hurriedly asked her to come over and sit opposite her, and complained sadly to her daughter-in-law: "Brother Xu is going to get married next month. But our family only has two taels of silver, what should we do!"

Mother Zheng's beautiful eyebrows frowned almost invisibly: "Mother, why don't I borrow some from my mother's house!"

Mrs. Cai quickly grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand, and said loudly: "No! A few years ago, because of Mingzhou's incident, you were often ridiculed by your brother and sister-in-law. When you gave birth to Brother Xu and Brother Hao, They didn't even borrow half a tael of silver. Isn't this the rush to scold you when you pass by at this time!"

Mother Zheng looked sad for a moment: "Mother, I have seen Qingwei's child, he looks good, but he is too young and too high-spirited. If it weren't for Yufen who kept giving me assurances and said that she would let me go sooner. I really didn't expect to settle Brother Xu's marriage so soon. In our family's situation, if we were wronged and married her, I'm really afraid that she and Brother Xu will have a rift in the future..."

Mrs. Cai also sighed: "The marriage is settled. The sixth person will enter the door at the beginning of next month. Let's work hard during this time, save more money, and have a good wedding. Don't wrong the two children."

At this moment, a woman with a basket on her shoulders opened the door with joy on her face: "Mother! Sister-in-law!"

Seeing that it was her daughter Zheng Mingxiu, Mrs. Cai couldn't help asking, "What's the happy event for you?"

Zheng Mingxiu put down the basket, and told the two of them everything she had heard in Daji just now.

After Zheng Mingxiu finished speaking, his eyes lit up: "Mother, you don't know. Wu Qingwei speaks very energetically, and with a few words, the two unkind brothers and sisters of the Sun family are pissed off! Our family is all stupid, and we just lack Such a powerful person! This is great, I heard Wu Qingwei said with my own ears that she is willing to marry our Brother Xu!"

Both Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Zheng were taken aback, and they looked at each other: "You heard me right! Then Wu Qingwei really said that?"

Zheng Mingxiu immediately spoke up: "Isn't that right! I think Brother Xu blushed so hard after hearing this! They're having fun!"

Mother Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "There are rumors outside that Qingwei's child is interested in Sun Yihang from Yuanwai's family, and I was still muttering in my heart, so I feel relieved now."

Just as they were talking, the door rang, and the three of them looked, and it turned out that Father Zheng had returned.

I saw that Father Zheng, though handsome, had a gloomy face and a trance-like expression. Wearing a baggy coarse cloth, he walked unsteadily in front of Mrs. Cai: "Mother, this is the money for copying books today." After finishing, he threw down a small handful of copper coins, turned around and went back to his own room without saying a word.

"Ah!" Mrs. Cai sighed deeply as she looked at her son's back.

Zheng Mingxiu also frowned: "My brother has been like this since he came back from Beijing to rush for the exam. I don't know what happened to him in the capital. For so many years, he has been so muddled. Apart from copying books to earn some money, I don't think he will leave that house for a day!"

Mother Zheng was also very worried: "Mother, it's been so many years, Brother Xu and Brother Hao have grown up so much. He lied to Qingwei and his father for 20 taels of silver and left, and when he came back, he became this picture The appearance. It makes me unable to say or scold. Fortunately, the Wu family is a good one and didn't embarrass us, otherwise...I..."

As she spoke, Mother Zheng couldn't help but shed tears.

Mrs. Cai hurriedly patted her daughter-in-law on the back to comfort her: "Something must have happened to Mingzhou back then. I know my own son. He must have had some difficulties for not telling me for so many years. I know that I have wronged you, and I will try to persuade you advised him."

As soon as the words were finished, the two brothers Zheng Xu and Zheng Hao also came back from school. Mother Zheng stopped her tears and forced a smile to greet the two: "Brother Xu, Brother Hao, you are back!"

Seeing the energetic sons in front of her, Zheng's mother immediately felt relieved.Granny Cai looked at the two brothers with a happy face: "Oh, why did you come back so late today?"

After Zheng Xu, Zheng Hao and the elders had greeted each other, Zheng Xu squinted at Zheng Hao: "Can you tell me?"

I saw that Zheng Hao had a strong figure, full of muscles, wheat-colored skin, but a pleasing round face.Seeing his grandmother looking at him with an uneasy expression, she quickly scratched her head and smiled apologetically, "Well... the master said that I am more pleasing to the eye, and after school, he has to tutor and tutor me alone."

Mother Zheng quickly pulled her face down: "But you were naughty again today, and you made Master angry?"

Zheng Hao hurriedly shouted: "Mother! Don't talk about your son like that. My son has improved in this monthly exam!"

Hearing her son's progress, Mother Zheng's face softened: "How much progress has it made?"

Zheng Hao looked embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "Is this... important? Didn't my mother say that I don't want to make more progress, as long as I make a little progress every day!"

"That's because your grades are at the bottom of the whole academy!" Zheng's mother frowned, looking at Zheng Xu who was looking at her nose and eyes, "Brother Xu, tell me!"

"In the monthly exam, my younger brother did advance one place." After Zheng Xu said calmly, Zheng Hao was visibly relieved.

"It's just that Xing Tian, ​​who was supposed to be No. 2 from the bottom, had diarrhea, which caused him to fail the exam and take away his brother's bottom one."

Zheng Hao gritted his teeth and looked at Zheng Xu: "Damn! I got the second place, that's my destiny! Who said it was because of that idiot who had diarrhea...I..."

Zheng Xu looked at Zheng Hao indifferently: "It's the second to last."

Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Zheng covered their foreheads together, forget it, Zheng Hao's grades, they have already resigned to their fate.

Zheng Mingxiu burst out laughing with a "puchi" beside him: "You two, after so many years, you still can't stop pinching!"

Mother Zheng also shook her head and sighed: "They are obviously twin brothers, I really don't understand why they are so different in all aspects?"

Mrs. Cai was also puzzled: "That is to say. If you two have different personalities and tempers, that's fine. Why don't you look like you were born from the same mother's womb?"

Zheng Hao looked at the noble and handsome Zheng Xu next to him with a dark face, and then looked at his own appearance, strongly suspecting that his grandmother was burying himself: "Grandma, what's the matter. That brother is a material for studying, I No. I am the best expert in the world, and I will be a general in the future!"

Mrs. Cai picked up Zheng Mingxiu's basket, pointed it at Zheng Hao's head, and gave a critical blow: "Hey, General? You are an old woman who eats garlic. You have a big breath! Hurry up and help your aunt cook. go!"

Zheng Hao looked at Mrs. Cai and Mother Zheng staring at him angrily, thinking that a good man would not suffer in front of him, so he hurriedly pulled Zheng Mingxiu out of the room aggrieved.
