Lingquan, a peasant girl: the bully in the whole family is just me

Chapter 33 Yao Qing
Rural people get married based on whether they can have children and whether they can work. It stands to reason that the daughters of Yao's third family should not worry about marrying.

It's a pity that no one in the village wants to be entangled with relatives like Yao Xiangbei. Qian gave birth to three daughters for more than ten years before she had a son who is under five this year, which affected her daughter's reputation.

The ones in the village can't be said, so Yao Laosan's family found the one in the Yangjia Village next door.

The other party's family background is not bad, but the children in the family are a little weak. The couple have a son and a daughter.

"We country people say that marriage is usually agreed to by the bride's family, and the dowry is also arbitrary. The Yang family is obviously bullying our daughter and saying that the marriage is difficult, intentional." It's not easy at home.

"Three liang of silver is not a small sum, Third Uncle agreed?" Yao Lan asked cooperatively.

Qian smiled wryly: "At that time, I wanted your eldest sister to get married earlier, and the latter two would also get engaged sooner. Your third uncle gritted his teeth and agreed."

"But I don't want to be married not long after the other party's father died. This filial piety lasts for three years. Da Ni is still at home at seventeen. I don't know what will happen to Er Ni and San Ni in the future?"

"The hall sister has been waiting for him for three years, and when she gets married at the end of the year, it will be the end of all hardships."

"The end of all hardships?" Qian hesitated for a while, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "After all, we are married, and we can talk nicely."

Yao Lan: "..."

It's a pity that Qian's heart is bitter, just like Xianglin's wife, pouring out bitter water everywhere, few people are willing to listen to it, finally Yao Lan is willing to listen, Qian's talking about the eldest daughter Yao Huang and then talking about the second daughter.

The second daughter, Yao Erni, was named Yao Qing, she was one year older than Yao Lan and hadn't married her yet. She had good eyesight, and every day she wanted to learn embroidery from the lady from the Wei family next door and find a good family after that.

"The craftsmanship of the lady of the Wei family is one of the best in the village, but she also needs to be able to recruit apprentices. Every year, the craftsmanship of the family is assessed, and only one apprentice is accepted. I don't know when your second cousin's craftsmanship will catch her eyes. ?" Qian felt that it was really not easy for her second daughter, and she worked for her for three years, but she still hasn't moved her.

There are indeed many people in and outside the village who want to learn crafts from Mrs. Wei, but Yao Qing is the only one who is willing to work for their family every day.

"Carrying water and chopping wood is rough work. Their son is weak, and our Erni is somewhat useful. If the craftsmanship is not good, I just want to impress them. I hope I can get what I want this year. Otherwise, when can I get married? get out."

Yao Lan doesn't think so at all, you help others to work, and they want to prostitute for free without making any promises while enjoying the benefits.

"It won't work. I've been thinking about it for a long time. You said that Aunt Wei said that she would accept apprentices through crafts. No one in our Yao family will know how to be a female celebrity. Even if my cousin is a water cutter for her whole life, she will just let her work for free. .” Yao Lan reminded kindly.

You don’t even have to talk about it because you did it voluntarily.

Qian only wanted to pour out the bitter water, but he didn't expect such a reason, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't think about it for a long time.

She is self-aware that her workmanship is poor, but her daughter has no workmanship, how can she not pass other people's assessment?

No one can teach you how to thread a needle, and if you fail the assessment, naturally they don't need to take you as an apprentice.

Otherwise, it would be good to teach some fur quietly these years.

"I, I thought that as long as Erni was sincere enough, she would always be able to impress her. I didn't expect her to settle down with this kind of heart." Qian felt that one of her hopes had been shattered, and she was so sad that she was about to cry.

"What are you doing?!" He was alert when he saw Yao Lan coming, but when he heard the movement in the room, Yao Qing couldn't help but ran over from the next door.

She wanted to impress Mrs. Wei to learn crafts, so she couldn't let this cousin ruin her reputation again.

Although Mrs. Wei didn't say it directly, she heard from those who had learned crafts from Mrs. Wei that Mrs. Wei didn't want to get involved with Yao's second family.

So everything is the fault of Erbo's family!
The original owner had a bad temper, and no one in the village dared to confront her. The only one who dared was Yao Qing. Although she never beat her, she dared.

Yao Lan looked at Yao Qing. This cousin, who was one year older than her, was half an inch taller than her, but she was several circles thinner. Her thighs were only as thick as her own arms, her facial features were not outstanding, her skin was dark, and her hair was thick. A wooden stick is simply fixed, just like an ordinary daughter of a peasant family.

The original owner knew about her working for Mrs. Wei, and they often laughed at her for being stupid when they lived together.

But Yao Qing firmly believes that sincerity is as good as gold and stone, only people like Yao Lan who have no pursuit and only eat will dawdle and wait for death. She must learn a craft.

Yao Lan can persuade Qian Shi with a few sentences, but even twenty or thirty sentences may not be able to persuade Yao Qing.

It's not her fault. If a country girl wants to marry a good family, the most important thing is to have a skill. Her uncle abandoned her brother and went to the city. The second uncle is a gangster and bullies their family. Her parents are honest countrymen .

The skill of farming is also passed down from generation to generation. No one taught her father the skill of farming, and their family's land can only catch up with others' after a lot of effort.

Her mother, Qian Shi, was picked up by the side of the road. She had no relatives on the way to flee famine, and she grew up begging, let alone let her learn.

Life is so realistic, what kind of craft can she learn if her parents don't have the skills?
As far as I can think of, her mother is crooked when she makes a patch and weaves. In the village, only Mrs. Li can weave and the loom is not touched by anyone. Don’t even think about cooking. The family is not full of miscellaneous grains It was wild vegetable porridge, and there was no food for her at all.

So she can only rely on her own strength, trying to impress people with sincerity.

Obviously, Mrs. Wei was not moved, nor would she be.

Qian held her daughter and cried, "My poor Erni, that Mrs. Wei tricked you into working for their family."

Yao Qing didn't think, "I did all this willingly, how can I say that they lied to me?"

Then he pointed to Yao Lan and said, "Mom, she is not a good person, don't believe her nonsense, she just doesn't know how to see us better than her."

Yao Lan thought to herself: Sure enough, stupidity can be inherited.

"Look at what you said, are you better than me?" Yao Lan asked with a faint smile.

"The wild boar I killed was sold for twelve taels of silver. Have you ever earned a copper coin?"

Yao Qing was stunned, she looked down on Yao Lan, she was too lazy to talk about fame, but when it comes to her skills, she really beat a wild boar, and she has nothing to do with it.

"Don't be complacent, wait until I learn Aunt Wei's skills...you are just afraid that I will compare you with my skills, so you deliberately provoke me."

"Stupidity must have a limit. You and I are relatives. If you are good, I can get rich. Why can't I see that you are better than me?"
