Chapter 84 Have a Wife and Forget Your Mother?

After hearing this, old man Chu and the old Yu family understood that Dong Rong was here to save people.But they understood that it was one thing, but they couldn't refute it.Because what people say makes sense, and every sentence is poked at the dead point of everyone, and it won't work if you don't want to be convinced.

One of the most prestigious elders of the Yu family was silent for a long while, and finally said, "Since you think you are a smart person, then tell me how to deal with this matter today, so that you can't get a bargain."

Dong Rong cursed secretly in her heart, she is really an old fox who wants to save face, but she also knows the principle of accepting as soon as it is good, so she bowed her head and said, "Elders, although today's incident is caused by the birth of the son and Silian, but the birth of the son has already been done. After being beaten half to death, Si Lian was also terribly frightened. They all learned a lesson. All the elders should calm down for the sake of the rest of the good girls. It is definitely not something to be proud of when it is spread. , so ah, the best way is not to let it spread.”

"Don't spread it? You mean marrying Silian to her husband's family as usual..." Before the Chu family finished speaking, Silian who was lying in the arms of the old lady suddenly struggled and threw herself on Yu Guisheng, crying loudly Begging, "I don't want to marry, I want to be with my child. I want to marry and have a child..."

The youngest Chu was in great pain from being hit by the silly pillar just now, and when he wanted to fight back, he was stopped by his elders. Seeing that his younger sister was so dispirited, she stepped forward and slapped her twice.Yu Guisheng's eyes were swollen into steamed buns from the beating, and he struggled desperately to see a little bit of light. Now when he saw the woman he loved was about to be beaten, he didn't know where the strength came from, so he turned over and threw Si Lian Blocked under the body.Seeing this, Chu's third son became even more angry, even kicking and beating his hands were black and poisonous.

Silian begged loudly, and Yu Guisheng was in constant pain, and the room became lively again.Dong Rong frowned and shouted, "Stop it all! Do you still want to solve the problem? Just say it, who has the time to delay here?"

The elders of the Yu family hurriedly stopped the youngest Chu, and two of the Chu family also jumped out and took him aside. Dong Rong also became a little impatient, and said directly, "Si Lian is so determined to marry and have children, you just send her away." When I go to the merchant's wife's house, I will run back for safekeeping. At that time, the face of the two families will be thrown into the city. According to me, it is better to retire this family. It is said that Si Lian has a sudden illness, and then go to Which distant relative hides at home for a month or two, and after returning, the family of the childbearing child proposes marriage and brings Si Lian back."

"When you touched your upper and lower lips, you said it lightly. The man gave 20 taels of dowry, and the family bought a dowry for Si Lian. How can this marriage be withdrawn? Could it be that one of you can advance this money?"

After hearing what Dong Rong said, old man Chu was the first to jump out to object. Everyone stared at him contemptuously, as if their hearts were clear.He spent money on buying dowry, if he didn't keep it all, he would throw it in some casino, and he still had the face to ask everyone to pay him money. This was obviously trying to blackmail everyone because he didn't have any more daughters to marry.

Farmers live frugally, not to mention bad times this year, even if the family has saved some savings in previous years, they will not easily spend them until life and death, let alone spend money on such a bad thing.Therefore, although everyone hated Old Chu for being shameless, they had no idea.

At this time, Dong Rong smiled and said, "The elders are confused. Since Si Lian is going to marry and have children, the Yu family will naturally also give the dowry, no more, no less, how about 20 taels?"

"Hey, this..." Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it. If the Yu family paid 20 taels of dowry, it would be just enough to pay off the previous relatives, and the remaining trivial matters such as how to seal it up would be easy.After all, both villages have sons and daughters, and no one dares to take the risk to spread the news.

"Success, it's settled like that. Yu's family will give 20 taels of betrothal money to Silian's family, and Silian's father will go to withdraw the marriage tomorrow, and marry Silian over in January." Five or six taels is considered generous, but 20 taels from the Yu family is a sky-high price.The members of the Chu family were afraid that the Yu family would go back on their word, so they quickly opened their mouths to settle the matter, and the rest of the people also nodded in agreement.

The elders of the Yu family have no objections, "Okay, neither of our two families can miss a single word about today's matter, or you will bear the consequences."

Old man Chu's old dim eyes rolled around, obviously he didn't expect the Yu family to be able to afford 20 taels of dowry, and he regretted for a moment that he shouldn't let his clansmen make the decisions, if he was playing wild and tossing around, maybe he could still give it to him. How much more would I want to gamble on?

After all, the old lady lived longer, so she guessed clearly about the petty thoughts of her future in-laws.She got up and thanked Dong Rong, and she kept saying, "Thank you, my boss, for paying the dowry in advance. We are poor and have no money at all. We have received great kindness from the boss today, and we will send the young couple to work for the boss in the future." Son, ten years before one year is over, and 100 years before ten years are over, you can't waste your money if you are a cow or a horse..."

Dong Rong glanced at the disappointed old man Chu, and said with a wry smile, "Ma'am, even if you don't let your son go to work in the orchard, you won't be able to do it. The money is prepared for handymen's wages, and I will take it today." Come out, I have no money to hire people."

"Thank you Boss, I will definitely work harder to repay the kindness of Boss." Yu Guisheng was also untied at this moment, and he and Si Lian came to kneel down to thank him.

Dong Rong originally had a little appreciation for this dutiful son, but after today's incident, she didn't want to see him anymore.As a man, even if he likes a woman again, he should think of some dignified ways to marry her back.How could he do such a reckless thing as eloping?
If it was placed in the previous life, this way of doing it could still give it a romantic title of "for love", but in such a place where feudal ethics are extremely strict, it is simply courting death, and even dragging my blind old lady to court death together!It is hard to say whether he is really filial or fake.Is it true that the old saying goes, when you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother?

"You don't have to thank me." Dong Rong dodged half a step aside, and said lightly, "I feel sorry for my aunt who is old and has bad eyesight. She ran forty miles of mountain roads barefoot in the middle of the night just to save an unfilial son. .If you have a good or bad thing, the aunt will definitely not survive, so I rushed here."

Yu Guisheng was ashamed to death, his already bruised face turned darker.He looked up at the grey-haired old lady, and suddenly realized how wrong he was, "Mother, it's all because of my son's unfilial piety, and my son will never dare again. The son only thinks that he can't live without Silian, but the son doesn't." on purpose……"

Granny Yu recalled the rush and anxiety of the night, and she shed tears. She reached out to slap her son twice but couldn't bear it, so she cried loudly in her arms.Chu Silian also felt ashamed, and kept kowtowing to the old lady on the ground.

Seeing that the two of them were somewhat remorseful, Dong Rong finally calmed down.She reached out her hand and took out four five taels of silver lockets in her purse, turned to everyone and asked, "The dowry is going to Silian's family today, and all the elders should give it a testimonial. It's not good looking."

Old man Chu saw the white silver shining seductively under the oil lamp, so he didn't care so much, he grabbed it in his hand and shouted, "What's wrong, my family took the money, and it will be out in a month." Let Si Lian go out."

Several elders of the Yu family curled their lips in contempt, and replied, "Everyone is watching this matter, and no one dares to be a rascal."

The other members of the Chu family also felt ashamed, and echoed, "Let's leave it as it is, just take care of your own family." After that, they got up and left.

Silian still wanted to say something to Yu Guisheng, but it was a pity that Chu Laosan had already stepped forward and pulled her neck and left.The old lady Chu felt sorry for her daughter, and it was rare for her to yell at her son, "San'er, take it easy, she is your sister!"

Chu's third son's impatient voice came from afar, "I don't have such a disgraceful girl!"

The elders of the Yu family looked at each other and stood up. One of them sighed and said, "Old sister-in-law, your yard is a bit narrow. I'm afraid you won't be able to live in it if you marry a daughter-in-law?"

Old Madam Yu was stunned for a moment, her face turned pale immediately.The elders of the clan don't want their family to live in the village anymore. They can hide it from outsiders but they can't hide it from the clansmen. It's better to move to a place that no one knows than to be poked in the back every day. Started living again.But the homeland is hard to leave, especially for the elderly, leaving the place where they have lived for a lifetime is simply heart-wrenching.

The old lady burst into tears, but seeing her son with a bruised nose and swollen face, she still choked up and replied, "What the old brother said is that when the time comes, my son and I will go find a big yard to live elsewhere."

At this time, Yu Guisheng also understood the meaning of the clan elder. He turned around and wanted to kowtow to the clan elder not to drive their mother and son out of the village, but was held back by his mother.

The clan elders shook their heads one after another, and left the house while sighing.Now Yu Guisheng finally knew the serious consequences of his trouble. He knocked his head on the ground and cried, "Mother, I'm sorry for you, I'm going to drive you out of the village when you grow old..."

Meihua's mother who had been hiding at the door just now dared to come forward to comfort her, "Don't cry when you give birth, you are skilled, and you will definitely not be able to starve your mother in the future. You must make your daughter-in-law be filial. In order to marry her, I really ruined my family.”

Granny Yu is a young widow and lives alone with her son. She has encountered many difficulties.Now that I was sad, I regained my energy and persuaded my son, "Son, what your aunt said is reasonable. Our mother and I will not starve to death wherever we go. As long as you work hard, don't do things so recklessly in the future."

Yu Guisheng nodded his head heavily, while Dong Rong felt sore as he watched from the sidelines, thinking that a good person would do his best to send the Buddha to the West.He simply said, "Ma'am, the couple who will have a baby next year will come to work with me, why don't you move to the orchard. It just so happened that the three adobe houses on the side of the road have been built. I planned to raise some chickens, but I've been busy all the time and didn't care about it. If you don't dislike it, you can clean up and move in first."

"Is this going to work?" Granny Yu's eyes were full of surprises, but she hesitated after thinking about it, "We live in a house, so what about raising chickens next spring?"
