The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 1
In the midsummer of July, the sun is like fire.

It was almost noon, and there were only two or three people walking slowly on the road in Qingyuan Village.

But there was a woman who was walking in a hurry, looking quite anxious.

The woman walked to a house in the center of the village and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Here, who is it?" A slightly older voice sounded in the room.

Hearing the sound, the woman said loudly through the door: "Aunt Lu, I am Liu Xiaomo, I have a big happy event."

Squeak!

The door was opened, and a man with white hair and an old face appeared in front of him.

She is what the woman calls Aunt Lu, Mrs. Li.

Li looked at Liu Xiaomo in surprise, "Xiao Mo, why are you here? Is there any big happy event in my family now?"

Liu Xiaomo waved his handkerchief and looked at Mrs. Li with a smile, "Yes, yes. Not only yes, it's a huge happy event. Aunt Lu, I'm here to tell Mian Niang that the kiss is here."

Li's face suddenly sank, "My Mian Niang doesn't want to marry, so you can leave."

After saying that, he was about to close the door, but Liu Xiaomo quickly blocked it with his eyes and hands, "Hey, Aunt Lu, please listen to me first! The person I want to tell you is a scholar. As long as Mian Niang agrees to marry, he is willing to I will support you and Uncle Lu together with Mian Niang."

Li's face was full of disbelief, but her hand no longer moved to close the door.

"Liu Xiaomo, everyone in the villages around Mianniang knows about Mianniang's situation. Only a good-looking person is willing to marry her?"

"Hey! Aunt Lu, look what you said, if you want to be a scholar, can I come to your door?" Liu Xiaomo waved his handkerchief again and said with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Li frowned, obviously still not believing what Matchmaker Liu said.

"Old lady, who's here?"

Liu Xiaomo's eyes lit up when he heard the voice. Before Li could speak, he stood up on tiptoes and stretched his neck and shouted towards the back room: "Uncle Lu, it's me, Xiaomo."

"Xiao Mo, why are you here?" Uncle Lu walked quickly to the door and asked doubtfully.

Isn't Liu Xiaomo a matchmaker? Come to his house to talk about matchmaking?

Sure enough, the next moment he heard Liu Xiaomo say happily: "Uncle Lu, I'm so happy! Zhang Xiucai from Yunzhong Village has taken a liking to your Mian Niang and asked me to be a matchmaker."

The expression on Lu Zheng's face paused, and he turned to look at his old lady. Seeing her disbelief and unwillingness, he sighed, "Little Moth, come in first!"

"Hey, okay!" Liu Xiaomo agreed happily.Uncle Lu said, there is a way to do this.

After the old man spoke, Mrs. Li could no longer stop him and let Liu Xiaomo through the door with a look of reluctance.

The three of them walked to the main room and sat down, and Liu Xiaomo started spitting and talking non-stop.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, I think you have all heard of Zhang Xiucai from Yunzhong Village. He was selected as a scholar at the age of 16. He only wanted to get fame, so he delayed his marriage. However, he was unlucky and failed the exam many times. He is now 30 years old He hasn't married yet. Now, Zhang Xiucai has stopped thinking and just wants to find a wife to live a good life. He inquired about Mianniang's situation and came to me to make peace."

Lu Zheng and Li looked at each other after hearing this, and both understood what the other was thinking.

Lu Zheng felt that since someone wanted to marry Mianniang, and the man's conditions were good, as long as Mianniang was willing, he could not delay his marriage.

Ms. Li was unwilling. Her and the old man's only son died a year ago. Now the family only has the couple and their daughter-in-law, Mianniang. If Mianniang gets married, the family will be quiet.

Seeing the hesitation on the two people's faces, Liu Xiaomo continued: "Zhang Xiucai said that as long as Mian Niang is willing to marry, he and Mian Niang will provide for the two of them until they die. Zhang Xiucai also said that the proper etiquette and betrothal gift should be given. There will be no shortage of banquets and banquets, and he is marrying a bride seriously."

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, don't blame me for speaking out. With Mian Niang's current situation, if a scholar is willing to marry her with three matchmakers and six betrothals, that would be a great thing that you can't find even with a lantern."

As soon as Liu Xiaomo finished speaking, Lu Zheng and Li's expressions turned ugly for a moment, but they also knew in their hearts that what Liu Xiaomo said was indeed the truth.

Mianniang is 21 this year and a widow again.Although their country, Dayu, encourages widows to remarry, their reputation is not as good as that of Huanghua's daughter.Nowadays, it is indeed a good thing that Zhang Xiucai of Yunzhong Village is willing to marry a serious man with three matchmakers and six hires.After Lu Zheng figured it out, he sighed. Just as he was about to ask Mian Niang what he meant first, a slightly weak but extremely firm voice sounded outside the hall.

"I won't marry."

When the three heard the sound, they all looked towards the source of the sound. A young woman wearing a white gingham dress appeared in front of them.

This person is what the three people call Mian Niang, Tang Mian.

Tang Mian has an oval face. Although his facial features are not very stunning, they are quite outstanding in this country.

With her outstanding appearance and good figure, Tang Mian has attracted the jealousy of many people since she was a child. They have also attracted many uneasy and well-meaning people by gossiping about her behind her back.

If Mian Niang remarries, there will be less gossip.When she encounters someone who is uneasy and kind-hearted, there is also a man standing in front of her.

When Liu Xiaomo saw Tang Mian, he walked up to her in three or two steps, took her hand and said quickly: "Oh, Mian Niang, if you miss this village, you won't have this store."

Tang Mian saw that Wen Ruan had no opinion, but his words were firm, "Matchmaker Liu, you don't have to say anymore, I will not marry Zhang Xiucai. No matter how good Zhang Xiucai's conditions are, I am not willing to marry him."

"Ouch! Mian Niang, why are you so stubborn!" Liu Xiaomo said with a sad look on his face: "Although Zhang Xiucai's family is not rich, he is still a scholar. Now he is educating children in Yunzhong Village. Take some care and don't worry about lack of food and clothing. Life won't be difficult after you get married.

In addition, he is still relatively popular in the village, so you don't have to worry about those gossips and people who are unkind to you.Although we are not in the same village, we are old acquaintances who have known each other for many years. I won't lie to you, Zhang Xiucai's conditions are indeed very good. "

Hearing this, a coldness suddenly appeared in Tang Mian's eyes.On the surface, Zhang Xiucai's conditions are indeed good.

But in fact, Zhang Xiucai was a womanizer. The reason why he didn't show it was just because he was worried that it would be difficult to get married due to his bad reputation.

He has always wanted to marry a woman with outstanding looks, but most young girls think he is too old and are unwilling to marry.Zhang Xiucai chose her over and over again.

In her previous life, after she got married, they lived in harmony with each other. Zhang Xiucai also taught her how to read a lot of words and read a lot of books to her.Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiucai's fresh energy wore off after only half a year, and he went to a brothel to look for flowers and willows.

Later, Zhang Xiucai was hooked by a brothel girl and became addicted to gambling. He used all his family's money to gamble, and ended up with a huge gambling debt.

Not only did she have to work hard to support her family, she also had to pay off Zhang Xiucai's gambling debt.Because her father-in-law and mother-in-law felt sorry for her, they gave all their savings to Zhang Xiucai.

Zhang Xiucai tasted the sweetness and went to his father-in-law and mother-in-law again and again to drain the two elderly people of their money.The father-in-law and mother-in-law fell ill due to exhaustion, but had no money for medical treatment, and eventually passed away.

Thinking of this, Tang Mian felt a sting in his heart.

Liu Xiaomo patted Tang Mian's hand and continued: "Don't blame my sister-in-law for being outspoken. Zhang Xiucai doesn't mind at all that you married once. She's not even a yellow-flowered girl, and she also carries a pair of burdens."

These words made Lu Zheng and Li look dim. When Tang Mian saw this, he shouted coldly, "That's enough."

Liu Xiaomo pretended not to hear, "Although my sister-in-law's words are not very pleasant, but..."

Tang Mian picked up the broom beside the pillar and hit Liu Xiaomo, "Let's go, let's go, I said I won't marry, I won't marry."

Lu Zheng and Li were stunned by Tang Mian's sudden movement, "Mian Niang."

"Ouch, Mian Niang, what are you doing, why are you doing it!" Liu Xiaomo shouted while dodging.

Although Liu Xiaomo was hiding in embarrassment, she still did not forget her purpose today, "Mian Niang, this woman still has to find a man and give birth to a child, so that she can be relied on. Zhang Xiucai is a good choice!"

"That's enough, get out, I won't marry." Tang Mian held up the broom and hit Liu Xiaomo hard.

In her next life, she would never make the same mistake again, no matter who she was, she would never marry.She wanted to stay in the Lu family and be filial to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, so that they could enjoy their old age in peace.

Liu Xiaomo's eyes widened and he hurriedly hid outside the gate, "Tang Mian, you don't know the heart of a good person."

Tang Mian smiled coldly, "Get out!"

Then the door closed with a bang, and the house finally became quiet.
