There are shopping malls in famine years, and the evil mother-in-law leads the whole village to beco

Chapter 516. Chapter 516.
Not to mention, it was really the situation Yue Jiuyue guessed.

The idea of ​​patriarchal patriarchy in ancient times is deeply rooted. Therefore, the natural disasters in the past few years, year after year, I feel that God does not want people to survive. Under such circumstances, let alone girls, many boys have also been brutally killed Sell ​​fate.

In the past two years, girls have only been born for a short time, and boys have been more miserable. During the previous natural disasters, the family was reluctant to sell their children and grandchildren who had grown up and worked as strong laborers. They only knew how to eat. Half-children, even newborns, were sold.

As a result, many older youths like Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei in various villages are still single.

It's not that the family doesn't want to marry, it's that no one can marry unless you go to a dental store to buy it.

Those who married their daughters-in-law before the natural disaster, and those who married their daughter-in-law when it was easy to marry a natural disaster, and those who were lucky enough to marry a daughter-in-law after the natural disaster, those people are now just parents of two or three-year-old children, and when those children grow up , bachelors have become uncles in their 30s, and some of them can even be called grandpa a few times.

Of course, this is only the case in most cases. It is not that there are no families who are reluctant to part with their children, and no matter how hard or tired they are, they are not willing to sell their children. However, those people are a minority after all.

Therefore, Lin Chaonan and his group of bachelors, if they were not lucky enough or rich enough, they might be singles for the rest of their lives.

Yue Jiuyue didn't want to get involved in these children's private affairs, but she thought about her current identity, and thought that people in this era are "ordered by parents, spoken by matchmakers", so she couldn't help pinching her brows.

She really doesn't want to be nosy!
However, if she is so indifferent, will she be misunderstood by the two brothers? Does she not want to marry them a wife?
Dreadful!She was single and had to arrange marriages for two young people, so she suddenly wanted to quit.

People clerk?
She has never talked about sweet love herself, and she is going to be a mother and a grandmother for others. Her life is so bitter!
fortunately!She has already thrown a few children out to give birth independently, and she doesn't have to eat dog food every day in the future, and she doesn't have to worry about seeing mosaic pictures with hot eyes.

Does this count as her foresight?
However, she is a mother for someone else, and it is not the first time that she thinks about the two children marrying a wife. Thinking that Lin Chaonan is already 22 years old, and Lin Chaobei is also 20 years old. It is really this world. older youth.

By the way, she remembered that the marriage law of this dynasty stipulated that men and women who did not marry after reaching a certain age would be charged double taxes, and in some places there would even be official forced marriages.

There is no such thing as forced marriage here, but there are taxes that should be paid, but because of the natural disasters in the past few years, the taxes were exempted, so the family escaped the catastrophe.

This year, if the two children have not married a wife, they will be fined next year.

well!Life in ancient times is also so difficult!You can't even do marriage independently, and you have to be fined if you don't get married. It's so miserable!

At night, there were only three people at the dinner table, so Yue Jiuyue didn't shy away from anything, and asked directly:
"The two brothers are not young anymore, and there are quite a few people who meet outside all day long. Is there any girl you like? If there is, please tell me quickly, so I can arrange the marriage for you and me sooner. .”

Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei: (ー_ー)!!
Their mother finally remembered that the two of them were old bachelors, but what happened to them not feeling happy?

"Mom, I don't want to get married yet!"

Lin Chaonan immediately refused.

"Mother, I don't want to either, but I'm still young, so I'll take care of my third brother first!"

Lin Chaobei was a clever little ghost, and immediately set Lin Chaonan up and set him on fire.

Lin Chaonan gave Lin Chaobei a blank look, and then followed suit:

"Mother, I still have a second brother above me, let's talk about it when my second brother comes back."

Speaking of this, he also added another sentence, so as to save himself from being slapped in the face when the time comes.

"However, if I have a girl I like, I will definitely tell ye the first time, and then I will ask my mother to help me manage it."

Lin Chaobei didn't expect Lin Chaonan to have such an operation, so he quickly followed suit and said:
"My lady, me too!"

This is the end of the conversation on the topic of marriage urging. The three mothers had their fill of food and went back to their respective houses.

On the way back to Dongling, Lin Chaobei was still chattering all the way to find out Lin Chaonan's little secret. He seriously doubted that Lin Chaonan must already have a girl in his fancy. It should be because she hasn't agreed yet, otherwise why would he end up like that in the end? explain.

"Tell me, I promise I won't tell my mother, which girl is she, with such high eye sockets! Even my tall, handsome, rich and landed third brother doesn't like me?"

Lin Chaonan didn't say a word, but Lin Chaobei could talk to himself.

"You have been looking at shops in the town since winter. Could it be that the girl is from the town? There are a few girls of the same age in the town, um... the granddaughter of Butcher Wang's family? Or that tofu Xishi?"

Lin Chaobei pinched his chin back and forth with his index finger, turning into Sherlock Holmes.

"Don't guess, it will ruin the girl's reputation."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lin Chaobei to say anything else, he opened the door and went in, leaving Lin Chaobei to close the door with a bang.

Lin Chaobei who almost bumped his nose jumped back in fright, forgot what he wanted to say, and Lin Chaonan jumped angrily.

"Lin Chaonan! Ye is too much!"

Yue Jiuyue is a very open-minded "mother", so when the two children said they had no idea for the time being, she stopped asking, and planned to ask again next year.

Ask once a year, this frequency of "marriage urging" shouldn't make people feel bored, right?
As for the two children in case they never get married, anyway, the two children have a lot of private money, even if the fine is five times the amount, they can afford it themselves, and they can also increase taxes for the country, which is considered their contribution .

Afterwards, everything returned to the usual level, nothing happened at home, nothing happened in the shop, and it was almost time for the wheat harvest.

The time for wheat harvesting is very tight, because it is summer, and no one knows when God will suddenly rain, so Yue Jiuyue will also participate in every wheat harvest.

What is different this year from previous years is that many people follow Fengyue Jiuyue and wrap themselves up tightly. The women of the Zhou family are like this, and so are the mothers-in-law who are at the top of the pyramid in the village. On the contrary, it is the younger ones. Most of the daughters-in-law did not take any sun protection measures as in previous years.

Yue Jiuyue has no time to care about others, and has been bending over to tie Maizi. Her old waist, which is already tired at the moment, is not hers anymore.

She hasn't done physical work for a year!
