80 widows in the control group, eating melons and raising cubs are poor and happy

Chapter 8

In rural areas, those who do not have a man who is the mainstay of the family, and boys who do not have a family to carry on the family, will be bullied.

The deep-rooted agricultural economic thinking firmly imprisoned everyone on the land, and made it hard for anyone who wanted to resist.

"Your grandpa and your father both left early, but they are both martyrs, two generations of martyrs, that's why those bastards dare not talk nonsense."

"Liu'er, you are different. When your grandfather and your father were gone, they both had sons. People in the village did not dare to underestimate our family because they knew they had sons."

"You only have jelly beans."

Not to mention that Bai Liu only had one daughter, but Song Jiaying was an educated youth, an outsider, without any foundation in the Xiangyang brigade, and died a disgraceful death.

Both the Bai family and Huang Fenglai's Huang family are big local families, but how strong is this friendship?
Huang Fenglai thought a lot, thinking day and night to keep more "love" for Bai Liu.

"If you take your daughter with you, there will be a lot of gossip in front of the door." She sighed earnestly.

There is a lot of gossip in front of the widow's door, but Bai Liu is still a beautiful widow.

Difficult.

Bai Liu pursed her lips and remained silent for a while.

She is not stupid, of course she understands which is more important, but it is even more impossible to change herself for the eyes of the villagers.

Life is short, and she doesn't believe it will always be so rough.

"Mom, I still have you guys. I can earn money myself." The solutions to difficult problems in the world are human and financial resources.

Huang Fenglai still didn't give up on her previous thoughts, she asked seriously: "Tell Mom, are you unable to let go of Song Jiaying, or are you worried that Tangdou will be wronged in the future."

"In short, you have to tell me who can make you most satisfied!"

Bai Liu clearly knew that she had different ideas from her old mother, and she was not satisfied with anyone!

"I can support myself. I don't want any men, and I don't want to serve any outsiders." She said very firmly.

She really wanted to say that there is more than just marriage for women, but she knew that Huang Fenglai couldn't understand these words.

What's more, she has already compromised once.

After graduating from high school, the college entrance examination was cancelled. When she was living with her eldest sister in the city, she happened to be spotted by the director of the textile factory and said that she was willing to marry her and go home as a continuation.

You must know that the bald factory manager is already in her 30s and has two sons. Even if she is crazy, she cannot marry.

When Bai Liu was in danger, he hit it off with Song Jiaying, who couldn't do farm work in the village, and it only took three days for the two to get married from acquaintance.

A rickety little family was slowly formed, and they didn't learn how to live until Jelly Bean was born.

"Mom knows that you can support yourself, but can you do it for your mother?" Huang Fenglai stood up abruptly and held Bai Liu's hand tightly, "Just think it's for your mother, and try again."

She is a widow, and she knows the suffering of widows better than anyone else.

Whenever there is a chance, she can't let her daughter follow her old path.

Bai Liu closed her eyes, she was determined in her heart, but she didn't want to confront her mother head-on.

Better to procrastinate.

"But I have conditions," she said cracklingly, "the other party must treat Tangdou well and have his own income. If I marry as a stepmother, I won't have children..."

The Zhou family was separated from the Bailiu family by a wall. At this time, the old couple of the Zhou family were also chatting about family affairs.

"I still like Bai Liu. This morning, I saw six people looking for her to make clothes." Aunt Zhou gestured with her finger "six", "The cheapest six pairs of trousers can earn [-] yuan. Our family I can’t earn much even if I settle work points a year.”

In a few days, the public food will be handed over, and after the food and work points are divided, more people will make clothes, and Bai Liu can always earn money.

The more Aunt Zhou thought about it, the more her heart became more and more moved. She wished she could marry Bai Liu in now.

Zhou Xiucai was dissatisfied with what his old wife said. He claimed to be a cultural person, so how could he care about his daughter-in-law's money?
"I don't think so, our family is going to be an official in the future, the girl of the Bai family—" he said and shook his head.

Aunt Zhou was not convinced: "She can make money, but others can?"

Zhou Xiucai was even more unhappy when he said this. He always felt that his family was different from the villagers because he was educated and polite.

"She doesn't know how to work after she gets married. We live so close to each other. Didn't you see that Educated Song is doing the laundry. I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of Xiang Nan and her two children." Zhou Xiucai looked down on men who did housework.

Aunt Zhou has a different idea: "The daughter-in-law depends on the face of her husband's family. She is a widow who will definitely please Xiangnan honestly after marrying Xiangnan. Usually, the Bai family also helps, and she can still earn money. , and live nearby."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Bai Liuhe should be Zhou Xiangnan's wife.

The Zhou family doesn't have many houses, and the whole family lives tightly.

But Bai Liu has a house, and it happens to be next door to Zhou's house.

In the future, Bai Liu would work as a tailor in the countryside to earn money, and without delaying doing farm work to take care of the family, Xiang Nan could work in the city with peace of mind.

Don't say that Bai Liu is disobedient, how many times will she be taught a lesson as a mother-in-law, can she still be dishonest?

Aunt Zhou muttered: "It's also good for Bai Liu, our family is not a family that treats our wife harshly, she has a little girl with her, she is very beautiful."

She couldn't sit still as she said that, she wished she could go to Bai's house and Huang Feng to talk about her in-laws right away.

"Sit down!" Zhou Xiucai snapped.

Aunt Zhou sat down reluctantly.

"As I said, the little girl of the Bai family is not a person who lives a life. Look at how much she usually spends on food and drink. Besides, we don't want her money. A good man is his own master."

Zhou Xiucai's words ignited Aunt Zhou's anger.

"You want to save face, why don't you think about the situation at home. You have to send all your children to school, and you have to send your granddaughter to school. How much money can you make in this way!"

The old man in her family is a scholar, and he admires scholars most in his life.

But reading requires money, and she said that it is enough to send the boys to school, and it is enough for the girls to learn to read at home.

Although the conditions of the sons are all right, but there are many children in the family and there is no separation, the annual tuition fees make her feel very distressed.

Otherwise, she wouldn't plan to find Bai Liu as her daughter-in-law.

"Then you can't ask Bai Liu to be Xiangnan's wife. You can't do anything, and you can't eat enough. Our Zhou family doesn't want this kind of woman!"

Zhou Xiucai made the final decision.

Bai Liu didn't know what the neighbors thought of her, but Huang Fenglai also mentioned Zhou Xiangnan.

"The Zhou family talked about you several times, and I think she meant it. Mom thinks Zhou Xiangnan is okay."

She found a man for her widowed daughter, which was definitely different from when her daughter was a big girl.

Zhou Xiangnan has a job, and it is still a steel factory, which is a good unit that guarantees income during drought and flood.

Although there are two children, but the children are still young, with her taking care of them, the daughter does not need to be too busy.

Zhou Xiucai loves to talk about words, and Zhou's family is too troublesome, but Ke Shengzai's Zhou family loves face, so they are too embarrassed to treat Xiao Liuer too badly.

"Mom is not trying to push you into the fire pit. Marrying Zhou Xiangnan is your best choice now, so Mom can rest assured."

Huang Fenglai firmly grasped Bai Liu's hand, as if trying his best.
