Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 25
Kikyo was dumbfounded, the eldest sister was only 13 years old, and she didn't even grow up, so how could she marry someone? This is too absurd!

"Sister, what kind of person are they going to marry you to? You, do you really agree?!"

Fen Xiang lowered her head and said, "It is said that it is Huang Xingwang, the eldest son of the rich man Huang's family in the village. It's up to me whether I agree or not. The 'mother' even accepted the betrothal gift from him."

Kikyo became anxious when she heard that, and said, "But that boss Huang already has a wife, why is he still marrying you? Could it be that he will marry you back as a concubine?!"

Fennel sobbed, and said, "Isn't it just a concubine? I heard from them that Boss Huang has taken a fancy to me for a long time, and this time I gave 20 taels of silver as a bride price!"

"Then, that's how father agreed?"

"Yeah, I don't know how 'Mother' persuaded me, but Dad has already nodded."

Kikyo was furious. At first she thought that Fang's family was passable. After entering the house, she went to work in the field with her father. That's all, but I didn't expect to come up with such an idea now, to push the eldest sister into the fire pit!
Kikyo couldn't take it anymore, turned around and entered the house.

Grandma Qiao was not in the house for a while, and Fang was talking about it with Qiao Mandun.The two of them were sitting by the side of the kang, and Dashan and Ershan were in a frenzy on the kang. Shan Xing was afraid of being bumped into by them and dared not stay in the house, and was hiding in grandma's hut with Maima in her arms.

Ji Jiao entered the room and asked head-on, "Father, are you going to marry eldest sister to Huang's family as a concubine?"

Qiao Mantun's face was very ugly, he looked up at his third daughter, lowered his head a little guilty, and said, "There's nothing wrong with being a concubine, the Huang family lives well, and your sister doesn't have to live a poor life like ours anymore." .”

"Father!" Kikyo exasperated, shouted: "No matter how rich the Huang family is, the elder sister married as a concubine, where she has to serve Huang Xingwang's eldest wife. You have never heard of how tricky Huang Xingwang's wife is. !"

Qiao Mantun bowed his head and did not speak. Fang sat beside him and squinted. Seeing that Qiao Mantun was very unhappy being questioned by Kikyo, he forced a smile and said, "You are still young, so you don't understand these things, so Huang Xingwang likes Fennel, no matter whether she is a wife or a concubine, he will pamper her and won't let Dafang bully her, we fathers and mothers, how can we give Fenix ​​a disadvantage!"

Kikyo didn't like her at first, seeing her say such things, he choked on her angrily, and said: "I'm Kikyo, I'm not Huajiao, a mother can't even tell her own daughter, I wonder if I'll let you It's even less certain that my daughter will suffer!"

After she finished speaking, she ignored Fang's blue face, turned around and left, she knew that her father and stepmother would not change their minds if she continued.

When I came outside, I saw that Fennel was still grinding, so I went to pull her and said, "Okay, why are you still working, people will sell you, and you are still working like a cow!"

Fenix ​​heard what she said to her father and stepmother before, followed her to the side, and said in a low voice, "You shouldn't go to them. It's already decided, and it's useless if you say it."

Kikyo said angrily: "But do you really intend to be Huang Xingwang's concubine? Even if you find someone who is passing through and marry him!"

After hearing this, Fennel bowed her head sadly, and said, "I admit I have endured hardships, but I am just worried about you. I am gone, and you are all too young. How can you take care of yourself? Mother's heart is all on Dashan and Ershan. Grandma is still sick, you will suffer in the future!"

Kikyo felt even more distressed, it had reached this point, the elder sister was still thinking about grandma and sisters, how could he let her fall into the fire pit of the Huang family.

Thinking about her, she asked, "Sister, do you know why the Huang family fell in love with you? Is it because you look good, or because you are capable?"

Fenix ​​was a little embarrassed, but she still said: "I heard that Huang Xingwang thought I was good-looking, so he had people stare at me a long time ago, saying that if I were to find my husband's family, he would definitely marry me back."

Kikyo stared at the eldest sister's face, yes, my sisters are famous for their good looks, if it weren't for the fear of being dragged down by this poor family, I am afraid that other matchmakers would have come to propose marriage to the eldest sister.

Since ancient times, confidante has suffered a lot, because there are too many people who miss her, and if she wants to avoid her fate, she must either become ugly or make people hate her. If she wants to disfigure her eldest sister in order to hide from her marriage, Kikyo will not be so cruel, so she can only think about it. way out.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Don't be afraid, elder sister, isn't it a few days before we get married? We will let the Huang family withdraw the engagement and not marry you."

Fenix ​​was surprised and said, "How is this possible? They won't do anything if we want to destroy the marriage, how could they call off the engagement!"

Kikyo glanced at the room, and said in a low voice: "Elder sister, listen to me, I promise that the Huang family will not marry you, but you have to cooperate with me and cough for a few days first."

"Cough? Pretending to cough will make the Huang family resign?" Fenix ​​looked suspicious.

"Well, let's try it, I guess it will be about the same."

"Okay, how about coughing? Cough cough cough... is this okay?"

Kikyo stretched out his hand and pretended to pat her on the back, and whispered to her, "That's it, cough a few times from time to time, especially in front of outsiders."

The two sisters were discussing secretly here, and Qiao Mantun looked out of the window and muttered in a low voice, "What's wrong with this girl, Fenxiang, why is she coughing?"

Fang didn't take it seriously, and said: "It's cold, maybe I have a cold."

Qiao Mantun thought about it, since Fang entered the house, the kang was even more crowded, fennel and wild apricot were squeezed to sleep on the woodpile, and the weather was getting colder and colder, the two children didn't know what to do. If you get married before winter, you can really suffer less.

After discussing with Kikyo and Fennel, they continued to grind rice for dinner, as if nothing happened.

During dinner, grandma found out about Fenix's marriage, she was so distressed that she shed tears, and said, "Why is such a young child, if he says he is married, he will marry him and be a concubine to someone else, won't his life be ruined!"

Fang quickly said: "Mother, look at what you said, there is a big difference between being a concubine and not being a concubine. It depends on whether a man favors you or not. I heard that Huang Xingwang's wife only gave birth to two maids and no sons." , if Fennel married and gave birth to a big fat boy, maybe he could squeeze out the main room and become the main room by himself, the fate of a person is something that cannot be said!"

Ji Jiao was secretly angry, this wicked woman, luckily she married a pauper father, if she was allowed to marry into a wealthy family, it would definitely make life difficult for her family!

She finished her meal holding her breath, and then washed the pots and dishes with Fennel.

After tidying up everything, she told Fenix ​​to go out to relax, and then went out to Yao Jinfang's house.
