Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 351
It turned out that Li Lingling had almost grown up when she came back from the capital, and the family began to find her a husband.Because the family conditions are getting better and better, and there is a relative like Li Shasha's family, so there is an endless stream of people who come to propose marriage.Li Lingling's family was dazzled by what they saw, and they didn't know which one to choose.Li Dehai saw that Li Zonghui was promising in studying, and then Li Yulan found someone who could study, and now he is also an official wife. He also wanted to find someone like this for his granddaughter.

The problem is that there are very few scholars around Yanbo Town, and there are very few people whose age matches Li Lingling's.As a result, Li Lingling's marriage was delayed. Seeing Li Lingling grow up day by day, even though it is not as early as in the countryside to marry a daughter in the countryside, it is not a problem to delay it day by day.Just when everyone felt anxious, one day Mrs. He took the initiative to talk to Mrs. Zhang about something.It is said that there is a family named Zhou in a village in An County near her natal family. There is a good young man who has studied for a few years, the family conditions are good, and he is good-looking.

Li Dehai was very moved when he heard this. He now knows the benefits of reading, and he blindly worships those who have read.Seeing that Li Dehai liked it, Mrs. Zhang told Li Zongliang and Mrs. Liu that they thought it was good, but they didn't know how he was. After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang went to Mrs. He and asked her to see if she could make a move that week. The family invited them to visit their home so that the Li family could see each other.After hearing this, Mrs. He agreed without saying a word. After a few days, two brothers came to the Zhou family, and the eldest brought the second.

Li Dehai didn't like the boss of the Zhou family very much when he saw that he was a dark and thick guy.But seeing Zhou Xiaobo, the second son of the Zhou family, has a gentle appearance of a scholar, and he speaks politely, which makes people feel good.In order to reassure her daughter, Mrs. Liu secretly told Li Lingling, and Li Lingling also secretly took a look at Zhou Xiaobo's appearance this week, so Li Lingling's heart was moved.

Li Dehai asked about the situation of Zhou's family, and he heard that the family also had dozens of acres of land, so there was no need to worry about eating and drinking.Li Dehai was still worried, so he went to An County in person, and found that the Zhou family indeed had dozens of acres of land, most of which were rented to tenants, and only a small part of the three brothers cultivated it themselves.It's just that the house at home is a bit old and doesn't look like a solid foundation.But Li Lingling was already old enough, and if she dragged on, she didn't know if there would be such a shop after this village.Li Dehe thinks it doesn't matter if his family is weaker, as he can make more for Li Lingling.Mrs. He also fanned the flames and said that the Zhou family saw a girl again, but Zhou Jiaerlang still liked Li Lingling a little bit more, and he still didn't let go, that girl was very fond of Zhou Jiaerlang.Li Dehai became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly made a decision with the He family to ask the Zhou family to propose marriage.

This must be coming soon. First, the Zhou family sent a matchmaker to propose marriage. After the Li family agreed to propose marriage, the Zhou family formally proposed to the Li family. Although there were no wild geese, they sent a pair of ducks.Of course, other raw noodles, meat bun boxes, etc. are all well prepared.The Li family returned scarves, candies, clothes, silk scarves, etc.Next is Najib, a good omen, Li Lingling and Zhou Xiaobo are compatible, the Zhou family sent a matchmaker to deliver a gift to the Li family, telling the Li family that the marriage proposal can continue.This Najib also called Wending.On the day of Nazheng, the betrothal gifts from the Zhou family were not bad, including various whole pigs and sheep, as well as some gold and silver jewelry and silk and satin fabrics. The Li family was even more satisfied.Mrs. Liu secretly made up her mind that when she married her daughter, she would not only return all the betrothal gifts, but also give Li Lingling a dowry, so the Zhou family must not let her be underestimated.Therefore, Li Lingling's dowry included not only furniture for the new house, clothes and jewelry, and gold and silver ingots in pressed boxes, but also the land deed for [-] acres of fertile land near An County and a shop in Yanbo Town.

After the invitation period is over, it will be the day of getting married. First, the Li family will hold a banquet to entertain the Zhou family members and relatives and friends in the village who came to welcome the relatives. friend.It is normal for things to develop to this point, and Li Lingling's family has always been very happy.

But on the second day after the Li family returned, this day was the day when the newlyweds recognized their relatives. Li Lingling just had a wedding night with Zhou Xiaobo. .In the early morning, Zhou Xiaobo's mother, Mrs. Cao, came to knock on the door.Li Lingling was startled and got up, hurriedly got dressed and got out of bed to open the door, because her legs were so weak that she almost fell when her feet just touched the ground.Zhou Xiaobo who was sleeping on the bed didn't get up to help Li Lingling up, but just looked at Li Lingling with a smile and said: "My lady, why are you so careless."

Li Lingling blushed with shame, and limped to open the door.Mrs. Cao came in, smiled and said to Li Lingling: "My second family, today is a big day to meet relatives, you have to get up quickly, otherwise it will be shameful to keep your relatives and friends waiting." Li Lingling was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head when she heard this, she just felt that this mother-in-law was too kind and thoughtful of her.But she didn't see it, Cao's eyes swept around the room like searchlights when she lowered her head.

Zhou Xiaobo, who was still lying on the bed, said: "Mother, if you don't go out, why should we get up!" Then Cao Shi stopped looking around, and said with a motherly look: "Okay, I'll go out now!" Hurry up, you two!" After saying that, he turned around and left.Li Lingling was afraid that if she was too slow, she would attract people to talk about her, so she hurriedly arranged her clothes and hair, and softly reminded Zhou Xiaobo to get up.But Zhou Xiaobo refused, insisting on her to help him wake up.

At that time, Li Shasha thought that this was the so-called pleasure in the boudoir. How could Zhou Xiaobo know that Zhou Xiaobo simply thought that he had married a girl who served him.After she cleaned up both of them, they both went to the main room. The moment they entered the room, everyone in the room was shocked.Sitting at the main seat were Zhou Xiaobo's father Zhou Dali and Cao Shi. Seeing them coming in, Cao Shi waved to them.Li Lingling and Zhou Xiaobo knelt down in front of them, and Zhou Xiaobo's sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, hurriedly brought two bowls of tea.Zhou Dali and Cao took a sip of the tea with smiles on their faces, and each gave a red envelope, while Li Lingling took out the shoes made for the two elders and presented them. Cao looked at the dense stitches and nodded in satisfaction.

Next, Mrs. Liu led Li Lingling to meet her relatives, and Li Lingling saluted them all and gave some small gifts.Just when she thought the recognition of relatives was the end, Mrs. Cao said: "Your second family, you may not know the rules of our An County. When the new daughter-in-law enters the house, the dowry must be paid by the family members. How about While the big guys are here, take everyone to your house to see your dowry!" Li Lingling froze in one sentence, how could there be such a rule.But this was the first order given by the new mother-in-law after marriage, Li Lingling did not dare to disobey, so she had to lead a group of women with burning eyes back to her room.

Those women were stunned by the jewelry and clothing fabrics. Several pieces of jewelry were given to her by Li Shasha when she was in Beijing. They were all made by Li Shasha in the space. Both the color and workmanship were top-grade. Where have the village women seen it?Mrs. Cao followed behind and looked at the things in the jewelry box opened by her daughter-in-law, as well as the fabrics and satins in the cage, her eyeballs were about to fall out, and her heart felt as uncomfortable as scratching her heart.

After seeing off all relatives and friends, Cao called Li Lingling to the main room, Li Lingling didn't know why Cao called her, so she entered the main room with some anxiety.Mrs. Cao smiled very kindly, and before Li Lingling knelt down to salute, she stepped forward and helped her up.Li Lingling saw that her mother-in-law was so kind to him, so she let go of her guard and got close to her.

Mrs. Cao first asked her about her natal family, and the two talked very harmoniously.Not long after, Mrs. Cao changed the subject: "Second brother, you have so much dowry, I'm afraid that you guys will spend the dowry lavishly at such a young age." Li Lingling immediately said: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, my family grew up. Teach me to be industrious and thrifty in managing the house, and not spend money recklessly." Cao's eyes rolled, and she said, "I don't worry about the second family, but I don't worry about the second one, I'm afraid he will start to waste money when he sees your rich dowry. , when he asks you to ask for it, you will not give it. Why don’t you put all your dowry here, and ask me if you want to use it, but you have to tell me where it is used. The second family, you Okay?"

Li Lingling had never played tricks on her family members before, and she didn't know how to play tricks. Seeing Cao's words being so sincere, she nodded in agreement.After moving four or five boxes to Cao's house, Zhou Xiaobo only frowned: "Why did you move these boxes?" Li Lingling also helped Cao explain: "Mother-in-law is doing this for our own good. The dowry is in her hands, and if we want to use it, we have to go through the mother-in-law, so we dare not spend a lot of money that shouldn't be spent."

A few days after the Cao family got these things, they began to think about the [-] acres of fertile land and the shop in Li Lingling's hands again.It's just that it's not easy to change the name of the land deed and the house deed, so let's find a way to get her to sell them all, and then let her put the money with me.So not long after, Mrs. Cao came up with another idea, tricked Li Lingling into selling the field and shop, and put all the money into Mrs. Cao's hands.

As soon as this thing was deceived, everyone in the Zhou family changed their faces.Her sister-in-law, who used to work diligently, quit, and Li Lingling began to cook, wash, and clean for the whole family, and had to work in the field like a man when the spring plowing season was busy.Mrs. Cao is not the kind and amiable mother-in-law she used to be, she scolded Li Lingling bloody in just three sentences.Li Lingling was so angry that she complained to Zhou Xiaobo when she was resting at night, but she didn't know that she raised her hand and slapped a polite person on weekdays, which made Li Lingling faint at that time.
