Peasant girls seek happiness

Chapter 10

Cheng Xiaofang is the eldest of the grandchildren of the Cheng family. She is 20 years old this year. Her husband's family runs a grain and oil shop in the county town, so they are considered wealthy.

She is quick-witted, and with her status, she is naturally not a lady of the official family, but she has made friends with wives and grandmas of various businesses in the county in recent years.

The younger brother Yun Guang is the marriage that she helped talk about. The other party is also from the county. His family runs a pawn shop and is richer than her husband's. The girl brought a lot of dowry when she married. Cheng Er and his wife are very satisfied with this marriage.

This time she came back to help her younger sister Jiaojiao make a kiss.

"Mother, of these two families, one is a head arrester in the county yamen. The eldest son of his family can read some characters and also works as a clerk in the yamen. He Yunguang also understands it. There is another family with 50 acres of fertile land and four or five shops, but there is only one old man. He is so precious. They said that they will give [-] taels of bride price!"

When she got married, she only had a gift of 20 taels, which made my mother so happy, and the villagers were very envious.

That's because the Cheng family's family has a big business, and ordinary villagers can marry a daughter-in-law with only two to five taels of dowry.

Qu Shi was very moved when he heard this, "50 taels?"

Although the Cheng family looked good, it was actually an empty shell. Anyway, she had never seen so much money in all these years.

Her heart was not entirely because of the 50 taels of dowry, but because she felt that the other party's family was rich, and Jiaojiao's life would be easier.

Cheng Jiaojiao raised the curtain and came in, pointing at Cheng Xiaofang and scolding: "You took so much advantage from that family, you just wanted to sell your own sister? That man took everything from eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, why don't you marry him yourself?"

Qu's face turned dark, "Fang'er, is it really like what your sister said?"

Cheng Xiaofang was startled. Seeing her mother and younger sister looking at her unkindly, she quickly shook her head and explained: "Mother, Jiaojiao, I don't know, I haven't heard of it? Jiaojiao, where did you hear about it? Besides, are you talking about the same family as I am talking about? You know who it is before I tell you..."

After she said that, her tone hesitated: "No way? How do you know?"

The attitude and tone of how you would know if you had nothing to do with them deeply hurt Cheng Jiaojiao.

This is her own sister!

When he fought with that man in his previous life, he once said disdainfully: "I gave your family a bride price of 50 taels of silver, and I also gave your sister an introduction fee of 20 taels of silver. You were bought by our family, so you really think of yourself as a sweet pastry!"

Only then did she know that he ate, drank, prostituted, and gambled. There was no girl from a good family in the county who would marry her, and his family refused to marry him a small family, so she could only pick the older one out of frustration.

At any rate, their Cheng family has property and a talent.

Cheng Jiaojiao had a prejudice in her heart and believed that it was the elder sister who wanted to harm her.

Cheng Xiaofang was very wronged, she was really good for Jiaojiao, she married into the Wang family, she had a grandma and a sister-in-law, all because of her good looks, it was only after the birth of the eldest son that life became easier.

But the Jiang family she was talking about for her younger sister, not to mention the only son, and no mother-in-law. If she married her, she would be able to be the head of the family. Life would definitely be easy.

As for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, she vaguely heard about it, and asked her husband-in-law specifically, but Wang Feng said it was nothing, "Jiang Yuanbao is the only son of the Jiang family, he must be used to it, eating, drinking, and drinking are nothing.

"When a man is outside, he will definitely play a few games occasionally. It's a bit too much to say that gambling. Sometimes I accompany merchants and go to the gambling house to play a few games! What do you think, daughter-in-law?"

So she was wronged and told the two of her husband's words, "Mother, I am Jiaojiao's own sister. If she is not doing well, how can I benefit? How can you doubt that I will harm her?"

Cheng Jiaojiao sneered: "If you are really looking out for me, there is a good relationship right now, so please help me! Only after you help me, I will admit that you are doing it for my own good!"

The Jiang family will never marry her if they beat her to death.

Cheng Xiaofang asked: "What's a good kiss? If only a good sister appointed you."

Before Cheng Jiaojiao opened her mouth, Qu waved her hand: "What kind of kiss is good and bad, don't listen to her nonsense."

Cheng Xiaofang understood, this must be some boy her younger sister has taken a fancy to, maybe the poor mother in the family disagrees.

Cheng Jiaojiao stomped her feet angrily.

She calmed down and began to think about how to get what she wanted.

Cheng's third daughter-in-law, Niu, smiled and congratulated Yang, "Sister-in-law, congratulations. Although the person who is going to marry on the first day of the new year is still a scholar, it may become a Juren in a few days. By then, all the in-laws will be Juren."

This is a good word, Yang said with a smile: "I borrowed your good words."

Qu's lips pouted quietly, and she said her thoughts: "If you want me to say, Chen Xiucai's family is too poor, it's better to find a family with better conditions, and marry there in the first year of junior high school, and you won't suffer hardship."

She changed her voice, "Sister-in-law, this is a happy event, why don't sister-in-law buy some meat to celebrate?"

Yang smiled and said, "We'll talk about it after the horoscope is combined."

"Sister-in-law, you and my elder brother are really picky. It's not a matter of a few catties of meat, it's a matter of hiring a table properly!"

Yang didn't want her husband to be accused of pickpocketing, so she hesitated for a while, but she didn't spend less, and bought two catties of the fatty meat, and another three catties of pork belly.

The third aunt Niu took the meat and said in a low voice, "Second sister-in-law is really good at it, but whenever other people have something to do, she clamors for a treat. At the beginning, Xiaofang and Yunguang were married, not to mention engaged, and second sister-in-law never invited them once."

His words were full of dissatisfaction with his second sister-in-law Qu's.

Yang smiled: "We are all a family, not to mention your elder brother and I are really happy."

On weekdays, Niu often mumbled with Qu behind her back, but of course she refused to follow her words, lest it would be true.

Niu looked enviously at Yang's back and whispered: "My sister-in-law seems to have quite a lot of private houses!" Her tone was a little sour, "Brother is going to be admitted to Juren, so my sister-in-law will really become a wife of Juren."

Cheng Wu's daughter-in-law Fu, who was helping the cook next to her, pretended not to hear her. She stood in the corner peeling garlic without letting out a breath. She could offend none of the sisters-in-law.

As soon as Niushi Kaka cut the meat, the old lady came in, "Why are you buying meat again?"

Hearing that it was Mrs. Yang who bought it, she put on a face and said, "What a prodigal, I can't live at all!" She scolded Mrs. Yang and then Mrs. Lu: "How much meat is this and you cut it up? Do you think you are a big eater? Life is over?"

What a prodigal, that's five catties of meat!If she came in later, she would be blamed!

Chu Qi happened to come in to drink water. Her health has improved a lot, and she is at the age when she can eat. When she saw this piece of meat, she was a little greedy: "Wow, pork belly! Grandma, let's eat barbecue? Wrapped in lettuce, it can confuse people's aroma."

"?" The old lady was confused by the words, "Eat it roasted? You little girl, who eats it like this? How can you eat it when it's baked and burnt? Get out quickly, don't come up with bad ideas."

After kicking Chu Qi out, she said to Niu: "It's enough to cut the pork belly into one piece." The old lady gestured with her hand, and Niu's face drooped. This would be enough for a catty of meat, who would eat it?

"Cut half of the fat ones into the stew, put salt on the other half and eat it tomorrow." The old lady continued.

Chu Qi came out of the kitchen and went to look at the lettuce in the backyard vegetable garden with some regrets.

Cheng Wu came out of the toilet and walked out while wearing his trouser belt. When he came to the vegetable garden, he saw Chu Qi and stopped and called her: "Chu Qi, what are you doing here? Want to eat lettuce? Wait, Uncle Wu will call you!"

Chu Qi sighed, "I want to eat meat wrapped in lettuce, or barbecue. Unfortunately, grandma won't make it."

Cheng Wuyi scratched his head, "Barbecue? We used to roast pheasant when we went up the mountain, but not pork. Or, when your uncle comes back, let's roast it secretly?"

Chu Qiyi nodded repeatedly.

Uncle Wu is such a good uncle!
