On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Xu Laosan's family didn't expect that she would also have the idea of ​​​​a girl from the Xiao family. What if the two families were interested in the same girl?

Then there might still be competition?

She fell silent, thinking it was not a good idea to let her siblings act as matchmakers.

Just in case, she wanted to dissuade her younger siblings, so she slandered the girls of the Xiao family: "They are like wild boys. I have never seen them doing laundry and cooking, and I often hear them talking back to their elders..."

The fourth family members of Mr. Xu’s family were dubious.

The street in the back house was very lively, and the mother-in-law and mother-in-law separated while they were shopping.

After Xu Laosan's family bought the things, they hurried home first.

She decided not to wait any longer, and was not going to invite others to come to her house to propose marriage, but would go in person.

After all, why do you need to prepare a knife of meat and a bag of candy when you invite someone to propose marriage?

In today's villages, the gates are not closed during the day.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Laosan's family entered the gate, they saw a chicken pen surrounded by bamboo on one side of the yard, and many sawed bamboos were pushed neatly on the other side. There was also a circle surrounded by bamboo, but there were more than a dozen chickens inside. The little rabbit is nibbling on the vegetable leaves.

Mrs. Wu was cleaning the rabbit cage with her back, and there was a boy lying on a bamboo chair. Old man Xiao was also sitting in the distance, basking in the sun and weaving a basket with bamboo strips.

She greeted with a smile: "Are you all busy?"

Wu turned around and saw her, muttering to herself that the weasel had no good intentions in paying New Year greetings to the rooster.

But she couldn't drive them out because they greeted her with a smile, so she said angrily: "It's a rare thing that your family won't squeeze oil today. Finally, our ears can be clear for a while."

Xu Laosan's innermost thoughts: My family would like to press oil every day, but unfortunately there is no business.

And she was originally waiting for the Xiao family to come and complain because the oil extraction was too loud? Unexpectedly, they were not very courageous and never dared to come to the door.

Thinking of this, she became extremely confident and said with a smile, "I'm here today because of a happy event."

Mrs. Xiao and Ms. Liu, who were doing needlework inside, heard the sound and came out. They saw Mr. Xu's family holding a basket and said: "The male is getting married and the girl is getting married. My Sanlang is very handsome and he is also a top official." Good son."

"I am willing to pay twenty taels of silver to marry the third girl from your family."

A betrothal gift of ten taels of silver in the countryside is considered good. If the groom's family has some wealth, they will also give silver hairpins and silver bracelets.

But she thought it would be better to give the betrothal gift directly, so as to show her dignity by saying so.

Besides, she saw that the Xiao family still had so many children, and the first one to get married would not need too little dowry in order to gain a good reputation.

Moreover, you can also get some benefits at home.

The two families are neighbors, and the smell of meat often wafts into the Xiao family's house, which is very tempting.

They suspected that the Xiao family used to be hunters and secretly went into the mountains to hunt. Otherwise, who would be willing to eat meat every once in a while?

Besides, the Xiao family's financial resources are quite good. Can they afford a brick house? Can you still afford a mule cart?

My family only has an ox cart, so I can borrow my in-laws' mule cart when the time comes.

Anyway, even before the marriage was finalized, she had already made her wishful thinking.

Wu didn't react at first and thought the third girl she was talking about was Xiao Xiao, so she looked at Liu subconsciously.

Mrs. Liu twitched her lips when she saw her younger siblings watching the show, "No, there is order between elders and younger ones. There is no need to mention this matter again."

She really wanted to remind her unscrupulous siblings that they said they had five daughters, and the third one was her future daughter-in-law.

Wu also nodded: "Yes."

Still didn't expect that Zhao Laosan's family wanted to marry their eldest daughter-in-law to her son.

Xu Laosan's family didn't expect them to refuse, and their faces changed with anger, but they still didn't want to lose this marriage. In fact, except for the youngest of the five girls in the Xiao family, the other four sons like her.

So she simply changed her mind: "Forget it, then just ask for my son to marry your eldest daughter."

Wu exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, how can a marriage be so casual?"

Why doesn't she just hold on?

Ms. Liu's face turned dark and she said angrily: "I don't agree. There is no need to mention this matter again. Please come back."

Xu Laosan's family also wanted to save face. After hearing her refusal, they also yelled angrily: "It's shameless. None of the girls in your family are good. From now on, they will stay at home and be old aunts."

"My girl is not good, and you still come here to beg her?" Mrs. Wu put her hands on her hips and scolded her: "With how bad a man you are, who dares to promise a girl to your son?"

Xu Laosan's family was so angry that they said, "You are spitting blood, I will tear your mouth apart..."

Mrs. Wu was not afraid of her. When she saw her rushing towards her, she started to fight with her: "Why, you feel guilty because I told you right?"

Mrs. Xiao was eager to see it.

As a country woman, it’s normal to have a fight if you get into trouble.

Of course, if the neighbors heard it, they would also come to watch the fun.

No, I'm here to break up the fight.

Thinking back to the beginning, Mrs. Xiao had never lost a fight in her hometown. Now seeing this exciting scene, she wanted to get off the field and join in the fun.

Mrs. Liu pulled her with clear eyesight and quick hands: "Mom, my younger siblings have the upper hand. We can't bully the few with more."

The three Xu family members had already been beaten by the Wu family. If the mother-in-law went to help again, it would be a one-sided beating. She was worried that the villagers would have objections.

I am also worried that if my mother-in-law accidentally falls down, what will happen if there is something wrong?

Furthermore, she also saw people outside the door poking their heads to watch the fun.

The tacit agreement among country wives in fights is that men are not allowed to fight.

Old man Xiao stood up silently and helped his second grandson, who was recuperating after being injured, to the kitchen.

After entering, both grandfather and grandson leaned against the small window and looked out without blinking.

On the way to escape, although Wu's hands were never stained with blood, she had experienced a lot. She was ruthless, and with good food and strength, it was easy to deal with a woman.

But she also knew that if she hit someone too hard, she would cause public outrage, so she was very smart not to hit her in the face, but only hit her hard on her body.

There is a wall between Xu San's family and Xiao's family, and the Xu family quickly heard what was going on here.

When the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law of the Xu family saw their mother-in-law falling behind, they applauded Wu in their hearts, praised her for her good performance, and wished she could beat her mother-in-law into a pig's head.

But I was worried that my man would settle the score later, so he could only rush over with a broom and a pole.

In fact, they didn't want to go too fast, but when they saw many aunts and ladies in the village rushing over to watch the fun, they didn't dare to delay any longer.

They were literally pushed into Xiao's courtyard by the people behind them, and they could only shout loudly: "Stop, let go of my mother!"

Wu is also not fond of fighting. She is very talented in certain things. She even grabbed her hair a few times before letting go. Then she sat on the ground like a crazy woman and patted her legs. She howled in the light of thunder and no rain: " She bullied me too much. She rushed in and asked for marriage but beat me. She was bullying us as outsiders..."
