Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 15

In the early morning of the next day, I saw Wang Po bringing a gorgeously dressed woman into the village.The children in the village have rarely seen strangers, they all follow behind, and there are idle daughters-in-law and mother-in-law who are far away.

Meng Duo was thinking about Dou Hua, so he followed him to the door of Dou Hua's house from a distance.I saw the old woman standing in the yard, all in silk, with gold pendants on her ears, a thumb-wide silver flat on her head, and shining silver bracelets on her wrists.Douhua Niang let the guests in with a flattering smile, but the woman glanced at her and did not move her feet.

"How can you let the nobles go in that shabby house. It's sunny today, so move the chair out." Seeing this, Wang Po hurriedly ordered.

After hearing this, Dou Hua Niang hurried in, brought out the best chair in the house, and put a thick cushion on it.

"We rural people have shallow eyelids, so I don't know what to call a nobleman?" She asked flatteringly.

The woman looked at the chair, took out a brocade handkerchief from her arms and spread it on it, then sat down firmly.

"This is Mrs. Wang's companion, Sister-in-law Wang, but she is the most trustworthy and appropriate person in front of Mrs. Wang. It is a blessing for your family to be able to come to your house today, but the nobles are stepping on the humble land!" Mrs. Wang was also accompanying her. Be careful, and look at the woman's face while talking.

Meng Duo has lived two lifetimes, and the richest family he has ever seen is just the village head's family.The village head's wife has a lot of jewelry, but she is reluctant to wear them on weekdays, and only wears one or two to show off during the holidays.Now look at the servants in Master Wang's house, they are even more decently dressed than the village chief's wife.Look at his aura again, it's more than ten miles away from the village chief's daughter-in-law.

The servants are like this, so what about the master?No wonder Douhua Niang rushed to send her daughter in to be a concubine.

When Meng Duo saw that the eyes of the people who came to be employed had grown to the sky, he became more and more worried about Dou Hua.But Douhua Niang was full of joy, her eyes kept slipping away from the dress of the concubine, thinking that if her daughter entered the palace as a concubine, she would definitely have a higher status than a concubine, when the time came, gold, silver, round , flat, not too many to count!
Don't look at Dou Hua Niang as a shrew who looks vulgar, but after all, she is a tofu seller in ten miles and eight villages, and she can say a few words of entertainment.

When she heard Mrs. Wang say that the person in front of her was Mrs. Wang's companion, she immediately smiled and flattered her: "Look at my eyes, they are not screaming. Look at Mrs. Wang's demeanor, I was thinking about whether to shout or not!" Ma'am?"

"Hmph, how could Madam's daughter come here!" Sister-in-law Wang replied disdainfully, but there was a smile on her face after all.

Dou Hua Niang turned around and went back to the house to bring out some melon seeds and peanuts, but she just took a look and said lightly, "People in our family never eat outside food easily, so let's get down to business."

Business?Douhua Niang was startled when she heard this, didn't she offer a betrothal gift?Just take out ten taels of silver and you're done, so why bother?She looked at Mrs. Wang, not knowing what to do.

"Hurry up and bring out the bean curd and show it to Mrs. Wang!" Mrs. Wang winked at her.

Only then did Dou Huaniang realize that she hurried into the house to find Dou Hua, washed her face in a hurry, changed her clothes, and gave her some instructions in a low voice.Seeing her daughter timidly, the pink clothes on her body were washed into white, and Dou Huaniang remembered that she hadn't made new clothes for her for several years.

Douhua is just a little girl who has never seen much of the world, and she is extremely nervous under the skinny eyes of Mrs. Wang.When people asked questions, she answered in a quiet way like a mosquito, which made her mother twitch in anxiety.

"The country people have never seen the world, so Mrs. Wang made a joke." Mrs. Wang circled around.

"It doesn't matter." Mrs. Wang stared at Douhua and returned, "Our wife likes honest and obedient girls the most, and Miss Bai went to meet her wishes. The lady helped the master choose a total of three, all of which are quite prosperous. However, the girls from those two families are so flirtatious and flirtatious that they are not the masters of peace. Our wife is too soft-tempered, wouldn't it be an embarrassment for me to go back?"

"Douhua is a clumsy girl who doesn't know how to work, but she is obedient!" Douhua Niang hurriedly said, "She doesn't know the rules and asks Sister Wang to discipline her. Our whole family thinks of Sister Wang."

"Miss Bai went to be a concubine. Naturally, there is a maid waiting for her. I don't dare to discipline her. Now that you are satisfied, let's sign the contract of sale." Sister-in-law Wang took out a piece of paper. , the ten taels of silver belong to you, and the man belongs to Madam."

"I'm not going!" Douhua suddenly shouted.

Sister-in-law Wang showed impatience, and stood up, "It's not about forcing someone into prostitution, it's what you love and what I want, if your family doesn't want it, there will be someone who will!"

"Sister-in-law Wang, don't be angry, she's not sensible." Dou Hua Niang hurriedly pushed Dou Hua into the room, and then locked the door, "I'll just make a bet."

Fearing that people would repent, she couldn't find the ink pad and bit her middle finger, so she pressed it down with blood.

"Hmm." Sister-in-law Wang looked at the deed of sale, blew on it with her mouth and put it into her bosom, then took out a bag of silver, "This is 12 taels. Twelve taels is the dowry gift, and the other two taels is the wife's reward. You give Bai The girl is making new clothes and waiting for us to carry her." After speaking, she gave the money and left.

Dou Hua Niang was holding the heavy bag, her eyes stared straight, she waited until the person was about to disappear before regaining her senses and chasing after her.For such a great God of Wealth, she had to smooth her beard, and when Douhua entered the palace, she would be considered someone she knew well.

The spectators left one after another, and Meng Duo had a chance to sneak into the Bai family's yard.

"Douhua, it's me."

"Xiaoduo, remember what I said." Douhua said eagerly, "I will find a chance to sneak out, and you ask Brother Meng to wait in the small woods on the west side of the village. See you there! Hurry up, don't leave." Let my mother see."

Is this going to elope?Meng Duo was stunned when she heard the words, even if she had lived for two lifetimes, she would also be frightened.Now that Douhuaniang has signed a contract of sale with the Wang family, Douhua is already a member of the Wang family, if her uncle kidnaps her, she will go to jail.

But it seems that Douhua is determined to run away, she is a girl who doesn't even go to town, where can she go?Watching her being sold into the Wang family and being abused by the old man, Meng Duo couldn't bear it.

Meng Duo was conflicted and tangled in his heart, he ran back home and didn't come up with a charter until the evening.

When Meng Da saw that she was out of her mind, he only thought that she was suffering because of the Dou Hua incident.In addition, he was also depressed about Douhua, so he didn't think about other things.

Several members of the Meng family were having dinner when they suddenly heard commotion outside. Meng Da went out to have a look and came back with a rather ugly face.

"The bean curd is gone, and her mother begged the village head to bring someone to look for it. It's getting dark now, and wild animals are infesting the mountains. The village head asked the strong laborers to bring torches to help."

Meng Duo's face turned pale when he heard this, and he had to say what he was holding in his stomach.
