The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 15
But seeing no one, he left with the basket again.

What Su Lingmei discovered was that after she left, several figures flew down from the tree.

"Master, do we want to..." The man made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"No, let's go." The black-robed man said.

What an interesting little girl, Xuanyuan Mo thought silently in his heart.

Yes, that's right, this black-robed man is Xuanyuan Mo who eavesdropped on Su Ling's singing in Tianyue Restaurant.

"Her second aunt, today a matchmaker came to propose marriage to my sister-in-law, and her grandma asked me to call you back to help?" Lin's soft voice came from the yard.

"Mother, auntie is here, come out quickly!" Seeing that it was Mrs. Lin, Su Ho called her, "Hello, auntie." He also greeted Mrs. Lin sweetly.

"Hey, He'er is so good." He said and patted the head of He'er who was playing in the yard.

"Auntie, you're here! Come in and do it." Su's mother poked her head out from the kitchen and saw Lin's coming out to welcome her, and immediately invited her in to sit down.

"My sister-in-law is discussing marriage? Where is she from?" Upon hearing Mrs. Lin say that sister-in-law Su was discussing marriage, Mother Su was more concerned about this sister-in-law. After all, after he married into the Su family, he watched her grow up. that's it.

"It is said that he is the eldest son of Mo Xiucai of the Mo family in Mowupo, which is less than ten miles away from us. He has been busy for six or seven years this year, and his sister-in-law is fifteen. They are about the same age, but they don't know what their character is." Depending on the situation, Lin Shi didn't know much about it either.

"Her auntie, let's go there. If there is a delay, her grandma should have something to say." The two daughter-in-laws knew the Su family's grandma Liang's temperament very well, and they looked at each other and smiled.

"Ling'er, He'er, do you want to go there together?" Mother Su asked like Su Ling.

Thinking of the best Aunt Su Fifth in the old house, Su Ling quickly shook her head, "Mother, I'm not going, He'er, do you want to go with Mother?" Su Ling looked at Su He.

"Sister, I'll be at home with you!" It seemed that He'er also understood the atmosphere of the old house and didn't want to go there.

"Mother, you and auntie, hurry up! I'm afraid I'll stay at home with He'er." Unless necessary, she doesn't want to go back to the old house. Grandma favors sons over daughters. Every time she sees her, she hates her. Although Grandpa didn't have this thought, he didn't care about them when he saw them, and the atmosphere was very suppressed.

Su's mother and Lin's arrived at the Su family's old house.

In fact, the Su family is considered a big family in Huaxi Village. Grandpa Su and Grandma Su have many children, and there are also many grandchildren under them. It is a pity that Grandma Su is feudal in thinking and extremely patriarchal. She treats her grandson very dearly, but The attitude towards her granddaughter is unflattering, but Grandma Su still attaches great importance to her late-comer daughter.

This Mo Xiucai's family has a rich family background. It is said that there are about [-] acres of fertile land. It is said that the eldest son of the Mo family, Mo Wenxuan, has only two children in this Mo Xiucai family, and Mo Wenxuan has a younger sister.

Grandma Su also attaches great importance to this marriage, thinking that if her daughter says the marriage is successful, she will be the mistress of the family after marriage, and there will be no brothers to fight for the family property. After two years, the remaining sister-in-law will marry. Well, as long as the daughter serves her parents-in-law well, there should be no big problem.

In other words, this marriage was brought up by Aunt Su, but it is unknown whether Aunt Su is for Mei Su's benefit or has other ideas.

Su's old house, in the living room.

I saw an old woman wearing big red flowers on her head and her face painted as white as a ghost was trying to tell Grandma Su good things about Mo Wenxuan, the son of Mo Xiucai's family!
"Big sister, I'm not bragging. Our matchmaker has talked about so many marriages, and you know it. Which one of the families I've been a matchmaker for is not living a peaceful and beautiful life now."

"Yes yes yes, what you said is true." Even though Grandma Su looked at the matchmaker as "terrible." But she still agreed with her, who would let her have someone to ask for now!
"Big sister, let me tell you! This Mr. Mo is a promising man. He is a good-looking talent. He is already a child at a young age. Your daughter's family used to enjoy the blessings! If he passes the examination of scholar, sister Isn't she a lady of talent, this person should be honored as lady of talent!" Fang matchmaker continued to praise.

Grandma Su's heart was already faintly moved after hearing the matchmaker's words.

Seeing that Grandma Su was already tempted, Matchmaker Fang and Fifth Aunt Su secretly exchanged glances.

"If you want to talk about this Mo's family! The family in Mowupo can be regarded as the best. There are more than 20 acres of fertile land. Mrs. Mo Xiucai is also very talkative. The family also hired two maids. Once you get married, you will enjoy a happy life! You don't have to do anything, just be a young mistress." Fang's matchmaker continued to brag, and secretly gave Aunt Su a look.

"Mother, let me tell you! This Mo family's conditions are so good, it's good for my sister-in-law to marry! It's worth considering." Fifth Aunt Su said.

Among so many daughter-in-laws, Grandma Su loves her the most. The youngest son is promising and already a scholar. If he tells her to make her look good, this young daughter-in-law also listens to her and knows how to please her. He is not like the others. A few, thinking about it, glanced at Su's mother and Lin's eyes, the disgust in their eyes was self-evident.

Su's mother and Lin's seemed to have sensed Grandma Su's eyes, but they didn't know why, thinking how they could offend this old ancestor, they glared at her for no reason.

After hearing what the matchmaker said and what the younger daughter-in-law said, Grandma Su was really satisfied that it was the son of Mo Xiucai's family, thinking that the Mo family was in a good family, and her daughter would not be wrong to marry.Immediately finalized with the matchmaker that Mo's family would come to hire three days later, and the matchmaker stayed for a meal.After the discussion, Grandma Su glanced away again, you guys are not going to cook yet.Staring at Mother Su, Mrs. Lin, and Third Aunt Su and Fourth Aunt Su.

A few people saw that there was nothing about them, so they came out of the living room and walked towards the kitchen.

in the kitchen.

"Her aunt, do you think what the matchmaker said is true? Is this Mo family really that good?" Mother Su asked puzzledly. Well, but because of Grandma Su.

Mrs. Lin may also have doubts in her heart, "Who knows! Let's cook quickly, and her mouth will be broken when she finds out."

Su's mother saw that there was no result in asking Lin's, and looked at the third aunt Su Pang and the fourth aunt Zhang who were choosing vegetables, and wanted to ask, but she didn't know what to say.

Speaking of which, Third Aunt Su and Aunt Su Shi are also pitiful. They are not favored by Grandma Su in this old house. Both of them are honest peasant women, and they will not know how to please Grandma Su like Aunt Su, but Grandpa Su said that he refused to let them separate out for the sake of the family, so he could only live by looking at Grandma Su's face day after day, thinking that he would be able to separate out, although... but at least he got rid of it. Although life is hard, but now the family has a few acres of land, and she believes that her family's life will definitely get better and better.
