peasant girl wedding

Chapter 123
At the dinner table in the evening, the matter of Mrs. Hu's dismissal was brought up again.

Tong Zhixin, Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhide were all surprised.

"Why is the good-looking Zhaoyin's daughter-in-law divorced?"

Tong Zhide murmured.

Tong Zhixin also sighed, "Yeah, I haven't heard any rumors..."

After finishing the meal, Tong Zhi'er threw the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and ran to Lan Hua's house.

Because of the puppet matter, Lan Hua was still a little embarrassed to see Tong Zhi'er, but she was happy to see her come to find her.

"Lan Hua, do you know what happened to my grandma's house where the eldest brother's daughter-in-law was divorced?"

The two talked for a while, Tong Zhi'er said.

Lan Hua looked at her in surprise, "You don't know yet?" Then she nodded understandingly, not many people in the village knew about it, if it wasn't because she heard her mother say it, she wouldn't know about it either.

Immediately, Lan Hua told her the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Tong Zhi'er was dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

The old lady is the best, and this Tong Zhaojin is also drawn by the criminals!
After bidding farewell to Lan Hua, Tong Zhi'er told his family the news he had found out.

"One day our family set up a table for a treat, and when my cousin went back, she was scolded by grandma and cousin, and even slapped by cousin. I heard that when it was dark the next day, she took Dalang back to her mother's house. Later, my cousin came to look for him and wanted to bring his sister-in-law back, but he beat his parents and came back angrily. The next day, he went to his sister-in-law's house again with a letter of divorce. , but I want my sister-in-law to return the original two taels of gift money, or else I will take Da Lang away."

Several people were weeping when they heard it.

I have seen people who divorced their wives, but I have never seen people who divorced their wives and asked for the dowry money back.

Tong Zhaojin really did it!

The next day, Fang Cuiwei told Luo Shi about this, and Luo Shi turned around and told Tong Zhide and Tong Zhaoyin.

I sympathize with Hu's experience, but I feel lucky for her besides sympathy.

After breaking away from the best family in the old house, Hu's life will be more stable in the future.

.........

Five days later, Matchmaker Wu came to Tong Zhide's house and brought them the betrothal gift list issued by Master Zhou.

Luo Shi was very grateful, took the dowry list and entered the house, and warmly entertained Matchmaker Wu with tea.

"It's really troublesome Miss Wu."

Matchmaker Wu shook her handkerchief, and said with a smile, "What's the trouble? I just love helping young people get married. As long as they make it, I'm happier than anything else. Sister, I'm waiting to come and drink Wedding wine."

"That's for sure," Luo Shi said as he took out five hundred Wen from his sleeve, which was the matchmaker's gift money.

Matchmaker Wu declined for a while, but took it.

After Matchmaker Wu left, Luo Shi went back to the house and unfolded the list of betrothal gifts.

"Is this the dowry list?"

Tong Zhide, who came back from Tong Zhixin's house, spoke.

Luo Shi turned around and showed him the dowry gift list, it was a long list, but neither of them could read, so they didn't know what was written on it.

"Let's take it to Zhi'er to help Niannian."

"En." Luo Shi covered the door, then supported Tong Zhide's arm, and the two went to Tong Zhixin's house together.

It was only twenty steps away, and it arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Fourth sibling, is Zhi'er busy now? We want to ask her to help me read the betrothal gift list."

Fang Cuiwei's eyes lit up, "I'll go inside and call her."

After a while, Tong Zhi'er ran out, followed by Tong Duo'er, Tong Zhu'er and Fang Cuiwei.

Luo Shi handed over the dowry list to her.

"Second uncle and second aunt, let's all sit down."

Seeing that everyone is standing, Tong Zhi'er said with a smile.

Everyone immediately found a chair and sat down, looking at Tong Zhi'er nervously.

Tong Zhi'er glanced at the betrothal list with red eyes. Although it was long, it was something that the second uncle's family could prepare.

"Empire gold and silver, two bags of wedding cakes, two packs of mushrooms, two pairs of chickens and ducks, three to five catties of pork, two big fish, two boxes of tea, two catties of sesame seeds, two post boxes, and two meters of buckets. "

After Tong Zhi'er finished reading, he handed over the dowry list to Luo Shi.Turning around, she asked Fang Cuiwei, "Mother, what does Tie He mean? What is Dou Er Mi?"

Fang Cui smiled and explained: "This post box refers to the lotus seeds, lilies, green strands, cypresses, two pairs of betel nuts, sesame seeds, red beans, mung beans, red dates, dried walnuts, dried longan, red bean strings, and red envelopes." Seals, betrothal gold, gold decorations, dragon and phoenix candles, and a large box of couplets. Dou Ermi means that your second uncle's family will prepare twelve catties of glutinous rice and three catties of sugar so that the woman's family can make glutinous rice balls. "

Tong Zhier nodded.

Dried fruits will be more expensive, but fortunately, just pick a few and put them in the post box, it doesn't cost much money.It's just that the dragon and phoenix candles, couplets, red envelopes, etc. can only be known by asking the price at a shop in the county.

Fortunately, there were a few months to prepare these betrothal gifts. At that time, Tong Zhaoyin's salary was a few taels of silver, and he could make up for it. With their help, they were able to prepare the items on the betrothal gift list.

"Second sister-in-law, we will pick the strongest four pairs of chickens and ducks from our own family." Fang Cuiwei said.

Luo Shi was very embarrassed, "Well, how did this happen?"

Fang Cui smiled, "Why can't it work? It also saves time to go to the county to buy."

"Then, then I owe money first."

"Okay," Fang Cui nodded slightly, and continued, "Just take the mushrooms from home, anyway, we also sell mushrooms."

"Hey."

The two sat for a while, then left.

When Tong Zhaoyin came back in the evening, Luo Shi told him what was written on the dowry list.

Tong Zhaoyin kept it in mind, and planned to ask the price during the lunch break.

With this question, Tong Zhaoyin discovered that there were some things that were not sold in the county, and he had to go to Qingzhou, which was farther away, to buy them.

He planned to work hard to earn money, and when the Chinese New Year came, he would go to Qingzhou to buy dried fruits that were not available in the county.

The summer vacation has been scorching for a month and a half, and until the end of August, it seems that summer also knows that it will pass soon, and seizes this last opportunity to roast the earth desperately.

It is already the season to harvest peanuts.

Although Tong Zhixin's family bought more than 50 mu of land, they didn't have to be busy right now because they missed the peanut planting season when they bought the land.

Tong Zhixin's family doesn't have to be busy, let alone Tong Zhide's family who have left the house.

The busiest one is Tong's old house.

Not only busy, but also worried.

Without the hardworking and capable Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin, Tong Zhide's son Tong Zhaoyin, and Tong Zhiming who was in prison, the family's labor force left only Old Man Tong and Tong Zhaojin.

But there are only two men, how can they accept them.

Besides, the old lady had to watch over Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin had to prepare meals for the big guys at home.

At this time, the old lady regretted asking Tong Zhaojin to divorce Mrs. Hu. Although she disliked Mrs. Hu's small dowry, Mrs. Hu was hardworking and capable. With her around, the time for harvesting peanuts could be accelerated.

As usual, we still start harvesting from the [-]-acre peanut field farthest in the village.

Old man Tong and Tong Zhaojin, one pulling peanuts, and the other tying up the pulled peanuts with rope, worked from morning till dark, if they were not hungry and unable to work, they would not even eat Can't take care of it.

After five days of busy work, the fifteen acres of land were considered completed.Old man Tong is an experienced farmer, and he knows that there are still many fallen peanuts in the fifteen acres of land.In previous years, someone at the front of their house pulled and tied peanuts, and someone followed behind with a small shovel and a small hoe, and dug open the peanut pits one by one, and picked up the fallen peanuts one by one.

But now the old man Tong doesn't care about these things. Compared with the peanuts falling in the field, he still has eight acres closer to his home. It is located in the center of the village, and six acres is the closest to his home. The flowers can be reached after walking a stick of incense. Haven't received it yet.If someone steals it, it's not worth the loss.

After all, every household grows peanuts, and the peanuts in their own fields were ripped off. Unless they were caught back then, where is there any evidence that they were the ones who planted them?

However, when Old Man Tong and Tong Zhaojin were so sleepless and forgot to eat and sleep, when they finally started to collect the Huasheng from the eight acres of land, they still found that they had been pulled from one end to the other, which was a full piece.

Old Tong hated that in his heart.

At noon, the old lady and Mrs. Lin came to deliver meals to the two of them. After hearing old man Tong say that someone secretly picked up their peanuts, Dang even yelled at the sky.

"The one who killed thousands of knives, who killed my father, mother, daughter-in-law and son, dared to steal my peanuts. You have pus on your head and sores on your feet. You should be struck to death by lightning..."

The old lady scolded over and over again, and when she saw someone coming here to collect peanuts, she scolded even more vigorously.

Stare at someone as if that person is a thief who stole his peanuts.

The people around felt a little uncomfortable when they heard it, but the big guys were also busy with their own work, but they didn't have the time to pay attention to this lip service.

Tired of scolding, the old lady finally stopped, went home with Mrs. Lin, and guarded the six-acre peanut field closest to home.

The old lady glared at Mrs. Lin resentfully, and cursed at her again after resting enough, "You bastard, if I hadn't married you, my family would have been so unlucky, why wouldn't you die... "

Lin lowered her head, pretending that she didn't hear.

The fact that she didn't eat enough at noon was not because Lin herself didn't want to eat it, but because the old lady just gave her a bowl of porridge full of water and only five grains of rice.

Lin was hungry and panicked, squatted down and quickly pulled a peanut, and peeled one without putting it in his mouth.The fast old lady didn't even react.

When the reaction came to an end, the old lady yelled "Ah", and was about to call Lin.

Being beaten is the next best thing, anyway, she is used to it now, but the peanut in her hand cannot be snatched away.Immediately, Mrs. Lin grabbed the peanuts and started to run. During the running, she did not forget to squat down and pull some peanuts again, which only made the old lady furious!
