farmer's little girl

Chapter 8 Trying to persuade
I have to say that although Mrs. Qiao is a bit of a nonsense, there is still some truth in what he said.

Thinking about it seriously, Mrs. Hu really treats the second room well, and has always been close and enthusiastic.The same is true for staying in the third room, but it always feels like something is missing.

Since childhood, Mrs. Hu liked to buy some snacks for Lu Jiaoyue from time to time. If no one had any, she would just give them to Lu Jiaoyue.Especially in the recent period, this kind of behavior is much more frequent.

Many things cannot withstand deep thought, once you think about it, you will come up with many things.

Lu Jiaoyue took the chicken food bowl to the side of the chicken coop and put it down, filled the bowl with some water, and washed her hands, she could still hear the voice of the third aunt Qiao scolding Lu Jiaoxing.

Her third aunt, Qiao Shi, is really hard to say. Judging from her daily behavior, people always think that she is an indistinct and very messy person. There are too many people in this family who don't like her.But looking at her behavior today, a little inexplicable feeling arose in people's hearts.

Lu Jiaoyue vaguely remembered that the third aunt seemed to have said such things to her in her previous life, but it was a pity that she didn't listen to it at the time, and instead thought that the third aunt was using words to provoke her because she didn't get along with her mother.

Lu Jiaoyue stood in the vegetable garden for a long time before she poured the water from the basin into the vegetable field, turned around and walked towards the third house.When I entered the room, I found that my aunt was sitting in the main room talking to her mother.Lu Jiaoyue pursed her lips, said hello, and sat down beside Mei.

In the past, with Lu Jiaoyue's personality, she would sensibly avoid it. It is always bad for the younger generation to listen to the elders. Her mother and grandmother taught her this way since she was a child.But this time Lu Jiaoyue didn't want to leave, she wanted to know what the auntie wanted to say to her mother.

Seeing Lu Jiaoyue coming in, Hu and Mei stopped talking.Seeing that Lu Jiaoyue sat down at this time, she naturally couldn't continue speaking.

The atmosphere became a little awkward, Mrs. Mei was about to say something to her daughter, Mrs. Hu stood up, smiled at her and said, "Second Aunt, I'm leaving first. You should pay attention to what I told you before. After all, I It's for your own children."

Mei frowned and nodded, "Then sister-in-law, go slowly."

After Mrs. Hu left, Lu Jiaoyue pretended to be casual and asked: "Mother, what did Auntie tell you?"

Mrs. Mei came to her senses, and glanced at her daughter: "You child, why are you asking this?" She folded the clothes that had just been brought back from the outside in her hands, and seeing her like that, she was full of worries.

Lu Jiaoyue pursed her lips and asked, "But what about the two acres of land?"

Mei was taken aback, stopped what she was doing, and looked up at her daughter in surprise.

"Yue'er, how do you know?"

The Du family asked for two acres of land, and the Mei family had told the man ten thousand times, saying that she could not tell her daughter, because she was afraid that she would be upset.

"Daughter heard you talking about this with dad." Lu Jiaoyue lowered her eyebrows and whispered.

Mrs. Mei didn't speak, Lu Jiaoyue thought that her mother was angry that she overheard her parents, so she hurriedly said: "My daughter heard it by accident too. Mother, the family is not rich in money, and the eldest brother still wants to get married. Let the marriage be postponed."

This was the first time in Lu Jiaoyue's two lives that she raised objections to her marriage.

Like most girls of her age, she has accepted the dogma of marrying from her father to her husband since she was a child.Although people in the country are not strict with this requirement, generally decent girls will not intervene in their own marriages. At most, when their parents ask if they are willing, they will lower their heads and say shyly, "Listen to me." Parent's'.

In fact, it's up to you not to want to. Since parents can ask their daughters, it means that the matter is almost done. Could it be that you said you didn't want to?Even if you don't want to, your family will have countless arguments and reasons to persuade you to do so.

In particular, Lu Jiaoyue grew up under the upbringing of her grandmother, Liu Shi, who is from the south. Southerners pay more attention to raising their daughters than northerners, so Lu Jiaoyue has a gentle and docile personality. .

It was also because of her experience in her previous life that Lu Jiaoyue mustered up the courage to say this, but she would never dare to say that in her previous life.

Sure enough, Mrs. Mei was used to her daughter's obedience and submissiveness, so she didn't listen to her words.

"Don't worry about this matter, what do children worry about it?"

"mother--"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, mother will take care of it properly for you."

Hearing this, Lu Jiaoyue's heart sank, it seemed that her mother had already made up her mind.

She couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I don't want to marry into the Du family."

After saying that, she didn't dare to visit Mrs. Mei, she knew that once she said this, her mother would definitely reprimand her.

Mei's face was surprised: "What's the matter? Didn't you agree to this at the beginning?"

They say it was at the beginning, not now!At the beginning, she really did not expect that she would become like that in the future, and her parents did not expect that if Lu Jiaoyue hadn't experienced everything in her previous life, she would never have said that she did not want to marry into the Du family. .

"All in all, I don't want to marry into the Du family." Lu Jiaoyue lowered her head, whispered but stubbornly.

Mei understood her daughter's character, so she didn't take her words as a joke.She thought that her daughter had always been docile and a little timid, so she didn't show the usual sternness in reprimanding her sons, but adjusted the expression on her face and looked at her daughter with some seriousness.

"Then tell me, why do you suddenly not want to marry into the Du family?"

Lu Jiaoyue was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "There is no reason for a man to ask for a dowry from a woman's family."

Mrs. Mei sighed, and answered her daughter very seriously: "It is true that there is no reason for a man to ask a woman for a dowry, but it is not because the Du family is not well off. Last year, your Aunt Du fell ill and sold the last two acres of land in the family. , I am afraid that livelihood has become a problem now. Because of this, my mother was also angry, and felt that the Du family was too unethical. But after thinking about it, if you really married into their family, with their family's situation, mother would be I feel sorry for how you will live in the future. Instead of subsidizing you at that time, it is better to be more generous before getting married, so that it can also give you some face. "

It seems that the Mei family has carefully considered it in private. It is really good to do so. It can not only give the daughter a face, but also make the Du family owe her a favor. The woman has a lot of dowry, and her waist can be tougher in the in-law's family.

The Mei family thought well inside and out, the only thing they didn't consider was that both the Du family's mother and son were not kind.The Du family is a wolf den, and Du Lian is not a good man.They don't consider kindness and affection in front of interests, and they don't have benefits to get benefits.There is nothing more ungrateful than that.

"But the Du family is not a good person!" After saying that, Lu Jiaoyue realized what she said.

Sure enough, Mrs. Mei reached out and touched her daughter's forehead worriedly: "Yue'er, what's wrong with you? How could you say such a thing? Your Aunt Du's family is indeed poor, but it has nothing to do with good people and bad people. You should Could it be that you heard what someone outside said?"

Having said that, Mei frowned.

Every village is bound to have some gossip women who like to gossip about other people and others. Mrs. Mei hates this kind of thing very much, so she has always strictly prohibited her daughter from associating with such people.Of course, it's not unreasonable for Mei to ask such a question. There is a 'gossip woman' in the Lu family who likes to gossip about others, and that person is Qiao.Therefore, Mrs. Mei is suspicious of Mrs. Qiao, thinking that Mrs. Qiao said something to her daughter behind her back.

Mrs. Qiao has always hurt others and benefited herself, and she doesn't see the relationship between the first and second families. Let Mrs. Mei think about it, she can really do such a thing.

"Could it be your third aunt who said something to you?"

Lu Jiaoyue was taken aback for a moment, thinking that her mother was really amazing, how could she even know that the third aunt had spoken to her.Immediately afterwards, she realized that her mother had misunderstood something, and hurriedly said: "Third Aunt didn't say anything to me, I heard what others said."

"What did the others say?"

Lu Jiaoyue thought for a while, and then said: "Aunt Du is a fierce and fierce person, whoever marries into her family will be unlucky!" This kind of saying was heard from outsiders after Lu Jiaoyue married into Du's family in her previous life. It's a pity that she didn't hear this before she got married.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Mei misunderstood even more, she was sure that this 'other' was Mrs. Qiao.Lu Jiaoyue seldom went out on weekdays, so the rumors and gossips outside would naturally not reach her ears, but could be heard by anyone other than Qiao's family members.

Mei tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and made up her mind that Qiao should not be let go of this matter.She has always attached great importance to her daughter's upbringing, so how could she allow Mrs. Qiao to stain her daughter's ears with such rumors.

"Your Aunt Du is indeed a bit more powerful, but there is nothing you can do about it. A widow is pulling three children. If you are not powerful, you will not be able to establish a family. Your Aunt Du was not like this before. Don't listen to those 'others. 'Nonsense."

Because of Mrs. Hu's relationship, Mrs. Mei has known Widow Du for a long time. She watched Widow Du become what she is now bit by bit, and it was all because of money.

After Du Xiucai left, those relatives in the next room of Du's family had many ideas about the Du family's property. Widow Du's natal family was unreliable, so they could not help asking Hu's sister.Back then, the Lu Minghai brothers often went to support Widow Du's mother and son, so Mrs. Mei knew the reason very well.

But it was said that money was the cause, but Mei didn't know that life would change some things and some people.

Mei picked out some of those things back then, and wanted to dispel the thought in her daughter's head that "Widow Du is not a good person", so that she can understand that the reason why Widow Du became like this was forced by life. Her nature is good.

And Lu Jiaoyue found out in despair that she couldn't convince her mother. She racked her brains and couldn't think of a tenable reason to convince her mother.

Could it be that she has to tell her family that she actually lived two lives? !

Seeing her daughter's dejected look, Mei Shi wanted to teach her a few words, but immediately gave up.

She thought that her daughter was probably a little scared. Before she married into the Lu family, she was also worried about gains and losses. It was because her mother repeatedly persuaded her that the second son of the Lu family is good, and that you will live a peaceful and beautiful life in the future. Let her slowly dispel the anxiety in her heart.

Therefore, Mei, a mother who was always strict in front of her children and didn't know how to show maternal tenderness, rarely softened her tone, pulled her daughter into her arms, and comforted her like her own mother.

"Yue'er, don't think too much about it. Your mother and your father agreed to the Du family's marriage at the beginning, and it was not without consideration. Your Aunt Du is your eldest aunt's sister. Our two families have known each other for many years. After you married, Your Auntie Du definitely treats you well. She is a bit more powerful, but she is an outsider, and she won’t treat you. Besides, she is capable, and she is a good hand inside and out. You don’t have to be so after you get married Hard work. As for the kid from the Du family, I believe you also know his nature, gentle and polite, and sincere in dealing with others... Although the Du family is a bit difficult now, but when Du Lian passes the scholar examination, the life of the Du family will be easier... "
