farmer's little girl

Chapter 26 We've been fools for too long
Everyone present was surprised.

Who doesn't know that the three brothers of the Lu family have a younger sister who has been sick all year round, who is the old daughter of the old man Lu and the Cui family, and the whole Daxi Village knows it.

Who will come to propose marriage to this medicine jar?That's not marrying a daughter-in-law to enter the house, but marrying an ancestor to come back.

Therefore, Lu Mingshan may be the creditor of old man Lu in his previous life, and every word he utters can quickly and accurately hit his heart and lung tubes.

The emotions that Old Man Lu had finally concocted were shattered, and his furrowed face trembled slightly.

"Third, shut your mouth if you don't know how to speak. Your father is quite old, so why come to lie to you?!"

Lu Mingshan withdrew his head listlessly, but his eyes were still full of curiosity. In fact, other people had almost the same idea as him.

"Father, which one is my sister talking about?" This time it was Qiao's turn to break the silence.

Old man Lu didn't pay attention to her. He actually didn't like this daughter-in-law, especially in the past two years, Mrs. Qiao had always encouraged the third child to split up the family. Old man Lu hated her even more.He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said: "Boss, second and third, you also know about Er Yatou's body, and it is considered that God loves Er Yatou's life if someone comes to propose marriage. I just think about Er Yatou's body It's useless, and it can't make the other party suffer, after all, after the second girl gets married, she can't do any work, she can only have a good life, so I thought..."

At this time, Qiao Shi spoke again, with a sharp voice.

"Father, don't you want us to pay her money again?" Qiao Shi has also been fooled many times, and when she sees something wrong, she subconsciously thinks about it.Although the others didn't speak, they almost had the same meaning in their eyes.

I can't help others not to think too much, because listening to Old Man Lu's voice means that.

"Let me tell you first, our third room has no money. If you, father and mother, force you again, I will take Liulang to hang me!" Qiao continued.

Lu Mingshan's face was slumped as if in mourning, and his eyes were aimed at the old man Lu, but he said to Qiao: "Daughter-in-law, you must not do stupid things!"

The old man Lu was so angry that he fell on his back. He coughed hard, and the hand that pointed at the two trembled faintly.

"Stop it, stop it all, your father and I don't want your money." Old man Lu seemed to be a little bit ruthless from anger. It was a little hard to say at first, but now he didn't feel this way at all. He spoke quickly. He said quickly: "I'm going to give the second girl a few acres of our land as a dowry, so it's right for her to spend it in the future."

This was another thunderstorm. The others didn't speak. They seemed to be thinking about something. Mrs. Qiao said again: "How many acres of land? Daddy, you think our family is a big landlord. Your son and grandson are so poor that they are almost like pants." , as soon as you open your mouth, you will marry a few acres of land! Could it be that Lu Guili is a daughter of a thousand gold?!"

She yelled the last sentence to Xijian at the top of her voice, and she didn't know if Lu Guili heard it from inside.

Old man Lu couldn't see her like this, he stared at her fiercely, his face trembled, and he slapped the table hard, "This land is my land, I will give it to whoever I say!"

Mrs. Qiao wanted to say something, but was held back by Lu Mingshan. Lu Mingshan didn't care about anything else, and winked at Mrs. Qiao in front of everyone, fearing that this stupid woman would ruin the big thing.

Qiao Shi is naturally not stupid, so he reacted immediately.

A few mu of land is indeed a lot, but compared with Lu Guili's bottomless pit, it is nothing.A few acres of land are nothing if you can send this medicine pot out!
Qiao Shi understood the meaning and almost gave Old Man Lu a thumbs up.

The old man finally figured it out, he knew to send the plague god out quickly, if he had thought this way, why would the three of them make such a fuss over the past few years.At the same time, I felt a little distressed, thinking that it would be great if my sister-in-law could be sent out without having to marry Tian as a dowry.

However, Mrs. Qiao also knew that this was a delusion. With the degree to which the parents-in-law love their daughter, it is rare to be able to move this kind of thinking. It is estimated that the old couple also made up their minds after careful consideration.

Lu Mingshan smiled and said, "Father, who is our future brother-in-law, and which family did my younger sister tell me?"

Old man Lu shuddered, and hesitated a little: "It's the Du family, Du Lian, the youngest of the Du family."

"Du Lian? Isn't that the son of my sister-in-law's natal sister? Isn't this the wrong generation with us, why did you tell the younger sister to his family? After that, I will call him brother-in-law or nephew. I remember that Du Lian She was born as a child, why did you take a fancy to our little girl?" Lu Mingshan couldn't believe it.

As soon as Old Man Lu finished his embarrassment, his son poked his heart and lung tube again, and he became angry immediately.

"Shut up, no one told you to talk. Also, why can't he take a fancy to the second girl..."

On the other side, everyone in the second room was stunned, including Lu Jiaoyue.

At the same time, on the side of the first room, Hu's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at the man's puzzled face, let alone look at the second room.

At this time, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.

"Mr. Hu, you have to explain this to me!"

The person who spoke was Mrs. Mei.

At this time, her face was full of anger, her face was red with anger, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

Old man Lu was interrupted again, this is not the first time today, he was also a little annoyed, and immediately reprimanded: "Mr. Mei, why are you talking to your sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Mei ignored her, and wanted to rush towards Mrs. Hu without hesitation, but was grabbed by Lu Minghai who was beside her.

"Mr. Hu, if you don't give me an explanation for this matter today, we will never end!"

Mrs. Mei was so angry that she worked tirelessly outside, just to not wrong her son or daughter, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.She didn't have time to think about the clues, her heart was full of anger, and seeing Lu Minghai pulling her, she got angry and went up and scratched him.

"Lu Minghai, you said that what you told your elder brother is the result of what you told your elder brother? Come and tell me, why did my Jiaoyue's marriage belong to Lu Guili? An aunt robs her niece Marriage, is this what your Lu family is capable of?"

I can't blame Mrs. Hu for speaking too harshly, because that's the truth.She almost scolded the entire Lu family, but no one dared to speak out to refute.What Mei said was really shocking.

How did it become an aunt who robbed her niece of her marriage?Could it be that Lu Jiaoyue and Du Lian discussed marriage before?

Lu Minghai was also full of doubts at the moment. He did tell his eldest brother about the matter, and his elder brother promised well, but his sister-in-law never responded to him.He thought it was good news if he didn't reply, and he was too busy during this time, so he forgot about it.When it happened so suddenly, even Lu Minghai was dumbfounded, he couldn't help looking at Lu Mingchuan.

Lu Mingchuan hurriedly explained: "I told his mother about this." Then he turned to look at Mrs. Hu, and reprimanded: "What is going on here, tell me!"

Everyone looked at Hu Shi.

Her face was as stiff as a paste, she clearly knew in her head how she should react at this moment, but she couldn't do it.

After a breath, or two breaths, Hu finally realized, showing a crying face.

"His second aunt, don't blame me. I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Jiaoyue." She said with guilt on her face, and wiped her tears as she spoke, "That day his father really Tell me about this, and I went to Du's house the next day, and told my sister what you meant. I never thought about her, but I thought it was because our Lu family disliked her family's poverty and didn't want to talk to her. Her family got married, so she said on the spot that the matter was forgone. I explained everything, but she didn't listen. Later, the two argued about it. I turned around in a fit of anger, and when I came back, I realized that I had made a mistake. matter. No matter how angry you are, you should focus on Yue'er's marriage, and you shouldn't be arrogant..."

Hearing this, Lu Jiaoyue's eyes showed doubts, but Qiao Shi curled her lips.As for Mei Shi, her complexion is still unsightly, after all, she no longer looks like she is going to swallow someone like before.Lu Minghai whispered in her ear, "I just said sister-in-law is not that kind of person, you shouldn't be so excited."

Lu Mingchuan's complexion wasn't very good at first, but now he also calmed down.

After all, everyone is still very curious about how this happened.

Mrs. Hu continued: "After I came back, the more I thought about it, the more I regretted it, but I couldn't be ashamed to say it again. I thought that after a few days, this matter faded away, and then I would talk about it. After all, this is also a good thing. After all, the two We have known each other since childhood." At this point, she glanced at Cui Shi, and said anxiously: "Who would have thought that Mother would come to me suddenly and say that Gui Li fell in love with Lian'er..."

"...Mother said that my sister-in-law was not in good health when she was young, and she never asked her for anything, so she only asked her for this matter. Guili is what we underestimated. To put it too exaggeratedly, I almost She was raised as her own child. She had just been ill for a while, and she couldn't be stimulated now. In desperation, I temporarily agreed, thinking that the Du family would probably not agree. It's time to let her die... It's all because I was wrong, it's all because I was wrong..."

Mrs. Hu covered her face and wept bitterly, unable to continue speaking.But everyone knew the result, the Du family agreed to the Lu family's marriage, but not with Lu Jiaoyue, but with Lu Guili.

Maybe Widow Du was really annoyed, or maybe it was a mistake, all in all, now that the two families have made an agreement, they will wait for both men and women to get married.

"Then what about our Jiaoyue?" Mei asked.

No one answered her, Lu Jiaoyue walked over to support her full of worry, and called out: "Mom—"

She really wanted to tell her mother that she had nothing to do with her, she had no choice but to marry Du Lian, as she had said earlier.But with so many elders present, they couldn't talk too much. They could only look at her mother with anxious eyes, hoping that she would understand what he meant.

Hu's cries still lingered in the upper room.

Mei's face was pale, she looked at the other people in the room, and then at the old man Lu and his wife who sat in the upper seat with their eyes downcast and didn't speak.Suddenly, she shook her body, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

As soon as Mei Shifu opened his eyes, he saw his daughter sitting in front of her.

She took Lu Jiaoyue's hand and cried bitterly: "Yue'er, it's all because mother is sorry for you, it's all because mother is delaying you, it's all because mother is incompetent, and can't afford the money for the two acres of land..."

At this time, this always strong woman thought that she had delayed her daughter. If she hadn't been hesitating between her son and her daughter, why would her daughter have to go through this.

Lu Minghai half hugged her with a frustrated look on his face, but he didn't know how to comfort his daughter-in-law.

Lu Jiaoyue hurriedly comforted her: "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to marry into the Du family, I told you earlier, you and father don't have to worry about me, my daughter is fine."

"How could it be all right? You don't need to comfort us, the Du family is such a good marriage, if it weren't for your father and mother's incapacity, why would it be like this."

Lu Jiaoyue simply didn't know what to say at the moment, did she say that her parents were too honest, or too stupid?Not to mention anything else, just because the eldest aunt didn't explain why the Du family was discussing marriage with her, and suddenly changed to her sister-in-law, this is a loophole.Ordinary family, which one would not pay attention to it, first discuss the marriage with the niece, and if the marriage fails, then replace the woman's little aunt?

Why didn't they understand it, instead they followed the aunt's wishes and blamed themselves.

In fact, Lu Jiaoyue also knew that if her parents cared about it, they would cause chaos.

But Hu Shi, the chief culprit, made her hate him.

If it was said that Lu Jiaoyue was only jealous of Hu Shi before, this incident made her really hate this eldest aunt who was kind on the surface but actually did disgusting things behind her back.What she hated was not that she took her own marriage for granted, she didn't want to marry Du Lian in the first place, but that she wantonly deceived her parents and used her parents' trust in her as a stepping stone.

Lu Jiaoyue didn't want her parents to be fooled by the Hu family, so she said: "Father, mother, don't be fooled by your aunt, it's not that simple."

Upon hearing Mei's cry, she hurriedly said, "Yue'er, what do you mean?"

Although Lu Minghai was somewhat dissatisfied with his daughter's behind-the-scenes talk about the elders, he did not show any signs of condemnation.

"Think about it, the Du family first negotiated marriage with me, even if the marriage failed because of the two acres of land. Which family would be so careless and then negotiate marriage with the other party's aunt? And what grandpa said today, for If the matter of how many acres of land my sister-in-law married as a dowry, it’s fine if it’s not related to what happened to me before, but don’t you think it’s strange if you combine it with the matter of the two acres of land before?”

Rather than saying that her grandfather cared about her daughter and wanted to marry her as a dowry, Lu Jiaoyue believed that it was because the Du family saw that her sister-in-law's dowry was more important than her own, so they temporarily changed their partner.

Of course, her great aunt must have done something in it.

Maybe Lu Jiaoyue couldn't understand the mystery behind these things before, but now she understands it in her heart. I'm afraid that the eldest aunt who is always generous and decent makes people hard to pick. Only then did she use tricks to make the Du family decide to marry her sister-in-law.

Once her sister-in-law married to the Du family, she would no longer be a burden to the Lu family. I just don't know why Widow Du agreed to marry her sister-in-law. Could it be that she really fancy her sister-in-law's dowry?Of course, this is also possible, but Lu Jiaoyue always feels that Widow Du is not a person who can trade at a loss. People with a few acres of land and a hole that can never be filled, who are a little clearer, would not do this kind of thing, but they just don’t know. There is some mystery in it that she doesn't know.

I didn't feel it before, but now hearing what my daughter said, Mei and Lu Minghai also reacted.

"And why didn't the auntie mention the details of the marriage exchange, but just mentioned it? Even if she couldn't save face and didn't want to bow down to Aunt Du's family, how could she bow down when she became a sister-in-law? And Grandma told her about my sister-in-law, why didn't she tell grandma that our family is negotiating marriage with the Du family? If she said so, no matter how much grandma loves my sister-in-law, she won't do something like an aunt who snatches her niece's marriage. "After all, it is a scandal to say it.

"Actually, my eldest aunt is not as good as she appears on the surface." Lu Jiaoyue concluded with a complicated expression.

In fact, she was in a very complicated mood at the moment, regardless of her eldest aunt, at least her actions this time did completely solve a big problem for herself, and she no longer had to worry about her parents wanting to marry her to the Du family.Although Lu Jiaoyue knew that since her family decided to let the Du family wait for a year, the marriage with the Du family would be impossible.But after all, there are still hidden dangers, who knows if the Du family will suddenly have a cramp and agree.In this way, it will be done once and for all, even if the matter between my sister-in-law and Du Lian fails, her parents will not marry herself to the Du family again.

But if my sister-in-law is really asked to marry, does she know what kind of wolf den the Du family is?According to what her grandma said, it was my sister-in-law who took a fancy to Du Lian, and Lu Jiaoyue didn't know whether she should stop this matter at the moment.

Mrs. Mei was completely stunned, and Lu Minghai's complexion was complicated.

"I'm going to find her, she's playing us like monkeys!"

Aside, a thunderous sound sounded.

It was Lu Guangzhi.

He moved too fast, before the voice fell, he rushed out.

Lu Minghai subconsciously wanted to call him back, but for some reason he didn't call out.At this time, Lu Guangzhi's voice sounded outside the door again.

"what are you doing here?"

The people in the room were wondering, when they saw Lu Guangzhi dragging someone in, it was actually Lu Jiaoxing.

"You actually eavesdropped on our conversation!"

Lu Jiaoxing shrank her neck, her face full of timidity, she tried her best to grab her hand, but unfortunately Lu Guangzhi's hand was too strong, she couldn't break free.

"Say, what are you doing eavesdropping on us!" Lu Guangzhi pressed.The eldest sister's marriage was robbed by someone, but it was my sister-in-law who robbed him. He was in a state of anger at the moment, and when he suddenly met Lu Jiaoxing eavesdropping on his own conversation, he naturally spoke harshly.

"I, I didn't..."

"I still said no, but you were caught by me!"

Lu Minghai sighed, and was about to persuade his son not to embarrass his niece, but Lu Jiaoxing couldn't help but say, "I wanted to talk to my cousin..." She faltered, and suddenly stomped her foot "I just wanted to tell my cousin that my little aunt knew about her and Du Lian's marriage proposal for a long time." She paused for a moment and said with hesitation on her face, "I told her, and I also accidentally overheard the second uncle's marriage." Telling my second aunt about this, I didn't expect her to be like this..."

After she finished speaking, she burst into tears.

Lu Jiaoxing's words were too shocking, unconsciously, Lu Guangzhi let go of her hand, and Lu Jiaoxing hurried away, leaving several people in the room looking at each other.

Lu Jiaoyue simply didn't know what to say, she was still hesitating whether to stop my sister-in-law from jumping into that wolf den, but after listening to what Lu Jiaoxing said, she completely dismissed this thought.It's not that she cares about Du Lian so much, but that her sister-in-law's behavior is really disgusting.

And Lu Jiaoxing, she didn't think that the other party had slipped her mouth at the moment, maybe she had already discovered what my sister-in-law was thinking, so she deliberately told her that she was going to be married to Du Lian in front of her, for the sake of Want to mess up your own marriage.And my sister-in-law believed her words, so she decided to intercept her.

It has to be said that Lu Jiaoyue has come to the truth, her conjecture is not far from the truth even though it is not right.

why?Is this human nature?

Lu Jiaoyue's mood is very complicated. She has always thought that her family members are the most reassuring people in the world, who can be relied on and trusted without any scruples. However, many things that have happened since her rebirth have broken her belief. Only then did she understand the so-called complexity of human nature.

It's like she was married to Du Lian in her previous life. After her sister-in-law's incident, she had a vague guess that her marriage in her previous life was also the result of her aunt's calculations.

For what, self-evident.

Mei Shi on the kang sneered, looked at Lu Minghai and sneered hard.

"This is my good sister-in-law, this is my good sister-in-law, this is the good sister-in-law of our family who worked hard and gave her all the money in the house..."

Mei's smile was too sarcastic, and her voice was too cold, Lu Minghai was speechless.

Suddenly, he let out a painful 'ah', and rushed out.

"father--"

"Let him go! We've been fools for too long."

Mrs. Mei looked at the roof, not knowing who she was speaking to.

In the upper room, since everyone dispersed, the upper room fell into a dead silence.

Not only the main room, but also the west room is not angry at all.The lights were dimly on, like two dead tombs.

"Old man..." Cui hesitated.

"Stop talking." Old man Lu looked exhausted.

At this time, Lu Minghai suddenly rushed in, breaking the rigid scene.

He didn't say hello to old man Lu and Cui Shi at all, and went directly to the west room.

Only then did Cui come to her senses, and hurriedly got off the kang, and just two steps away, she heard a howl of pain coming from inside.

"Gui Li, I'm your elder brother, and Yue'er is your niece, so that's how you treat us? You know that Jiaoyue is discussing marriage with Du Lian, why do you beg your mother to let her tell you to go to Du's house?! "

"Second-"

Cui Shi and Old Man Lu were shocked, but after going through the past, what happened at this time was not enough to surprise them.They were only worried that the second child would be too emotional, which might hurt the younger daughter who was in poor health.

The two hurried to the west room.

"...You have been in poor health since you were born. At that time, everyone in the family focused on you, including your second sister-in-law. Do you know why Yue'er was born early, because your mother had no milk when she gave birth to you. At that time, the family was busy with farming, and your sister-in-law was alone at home. She had a big belly and had to take care of herself and you, who was still a baby. You were so hungry that you cried. In order to cook a bowl of rice paste for you, you two Sister-in-law got impatient and fell down..."

"...Yue'er was only eight months old in the mother's womb, and she was born. Everyone said that she would live and die. At that time, we thought she would not survive..."

Lu Guili, who was on the kang, shrank to the corner of the kang in panic.

"Second brother, I don't know, I was still young at that time..."

Cui Shi and old man Lu rushed in, seeing such a scene, they couldn't help scolding: "Second brother—"

Lu Minghai turned a deaf ear to it: "...Because of premature birth, your sister-in-law has no milk, Yue'er is so small, not as big as my palm, and she is crying every day because of hunger. Because of you, because of your poor health, our family's money is tight You went to spend the flowers, there are some good things at home, and they are all tight to you, Yue'er can't even drink a bowl of rice porridge... Your brother and I are a big man, and I can't support my own daughter, so I want my wife to hold it Dowry silver for my daughter to eat..."
