Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 75
Meng Duo listened carefully, and it turned out that the girl was a distant relative of Mrs. Li, who lived in Wangjiazhuang below.There are parents, elder brother and sister-in-law on the top, and brothers and sisters on the bottom. They are eighteen years old.

I heard from Mrs. Li that the girl is beautiful and generous, and she can cook good meals, and she is also good at needlework.He is straightforward and not long-winded, and he is a very good person, but there are some difficulties at home, so he has always been unable to achieve high or low.

Meng Duo had long wanted to help Meng Da make a marriage, and Mrs. Li came at the right time.

She smiled and replied, "Our family doesn't have much money, so we don't dare to pick and choose. But my uncle is running around and working outside all day, and there are young uncles and sisters-in-law at home, so we need to find a more virtuous sister-in-law."

"I don't dare to say anything else, that girl is a good player inside and outside the house." Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "There are several brothers and sisters under her, and her parents are old, and the younger brothers and sisters grow up on her back instead." I don’t dare to say anything else, but she is good at coaxing children! If my old sister-in-law’s family was not poor, and she couldn’t even give her the bottom of the box, the girl would have married out a long time ago. A few days ago, the master of a rich family came to the door Asking to marry, she doesn't dislike her poor family and is willing to take her back to be a concubine. She actually beat the person out, saying that she would rather not marry for the rest of her life than be a concubine."

Meng Duo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, it seems that he is not a person who is greedy for wealth and honor, but also a master with ideas.If it is really like what Mrs. Li said, she is a good candidate.Whether there is a dowry or not is not important, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, can be diligent and thrifty in managing your family, and don't worry about your life.

Besides, she has been pulling her younger siblings to grow up, so she is also a very patient person.Sanchun and Siya are sensible children, and they will definitely get along well with her.

Seeing that Meng Duo seemed to be taken in by Mrs. Li, she praised the girl more and more for being rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth.Sanchun came back from school and shouted that he was hungry.Seeing that it was late, Mrs. Li hurried back.

When she walked to the door, she pulled Meng Duo and said, "It's inconvenient for your family not to have a woman in charge. When you have a sister-in-law, there will be someone to help you." Meng Duo had long hoped that Meng Da would get married, but still I don't know Meng Da's thoughts, so I didn't express my opinion in a hurry.

After seeing Mrs. Li away, Meng Duo turned around and came back, and saw Sanchun standing leaning against the door of the upper room.

"There are still some corn pancakes at home, you need to pad your stomach first. I'll cook right now, and I'll eat them when Uncle and Wu Fu come back."

"Second sister-in-law." Sanchun called her, hesitated for a while and said, "Is Grandma Li here to match your elder brother?"

"Well, we're going to have a sister-in-law soon. Then there will be more people in the house, and I can hand over the key to be clean. I just don't know what uncle means, but I hear that girl is good. If this is not possible, there are others. If you make up your mind to have a happy event, I'll see soon!" Meng Duo replied with a smile, his face full of anticipation.

"Brother, he..." Sanchun hesitated to speak, took a few glances at Meng Duo, turned and went into the room.

The small study room at the back is specially for him to study. There are bookshelves, tables and chairs in it, and it is clean and no one bothers him.Meng Duo went in with the tray, and saw that he was not studying as usual, but lying on his back on the kang, with his hands behind his head, staring at the roof in a daze.

"I warmed up the tortillas a bit, you eat one first." Meng Duo put the plate on the Kang table, saw that he didn't even open his schoolbag, and reached out to touch his forehead.

"It's not hot, did you cause trouble in the school?" She asked.

Sanchun sat up and said, "Second sister-in-law, what do you think we will do if our new sister-in-law comes in?"

"You, you think about useless things all day." Meng Duo laughed when he heard this, it turned out that Sanchun was worried about this, "I heard that the girl has a good temper, so naturally she won't treat you and sister-in-law harshly. Don't worry, uncle and I will protect you!"

"Second sister-in-law always said that Wu Fu is a fool, but now it seems that second sister-in-law is the most stupid person! You still want to protect me and fourth sister, if you marry a tigress, who will protect you?" Sanchun Worried face.

"You're a kid, you just study hard, and you don't have to worry about these things. This matter hasn't been settled yet, so it's not too late to make a decision after inquiring more, and you have to listen to what your uncle wants. Don't worry, our family will marry a daughter-in-law. I don’t want to dowry anything, just ask for a good character, and I don’t have to worry about finding a good girl!” Meng Duo comforted with a smile.

"But... oh... it's always difficult to get along with foreigners..." Sanchun seemed hesitant to speak.

Meng Duo told him not to think about studying in peace, and then came out to make dinner.

Meng Da and Wu Fu didn't come back too late, and they had a lot of prey today, including a few rabbits and a pheasant.Wu Fu excitedly chased Meng Duo and gesticulated. It was his first time hunting in the mountains, and he felt novelty about everything, especially the joy of hunting the prey with his own hands.

Meng Da cleaned up the prey, the rabbit's fur was not damaged much, and it can be sold for a good price.The feathers of the pheasants are dusted, and their meat will be sold in the town tomorrow.The Meng family lived through hard times, and now that the conditions are good, they don't have the habit of eating and drinking too much.

Meng Duo saw that Meng Da had packed up the offal of hare and pheasant, so he fried it with sliced ​​cabbage.In addition, the heart, liver and other things were stewed with sauerkraut, and some vermicelli were added to it. It was so hot and delicious that Wufu was sweating all over.

It's already March now, and he's only wearing a jacket. Now that he's stripped off his arms, revealing his firm, wheat-colored muscles, Meng Duo hastily turned his head away when he saw his face flushed.Meng Da scolded him a few words.

Unconvinced, he put on his clothes and muttered, "Anyway, there are no outsiders at home, so I'm hot."

"In the future, we need to pay more attention. The number of people in the family will increase." Meng Duo said with a meaningful glance at Meng Da.

Meng Dayi frowned and caught a glimpse of Sanchun's gloomy face.Wanting to ask more questions, seeing Siya and Wufu both present, he held back.

After eating and packing up, Meng Da seized the opportunity to ask Meng Duo, and then she learned what Mrs. Li said during the day.

"Now that our days are getting better and better, it's time for uncle to consider marriage." She said with a smile, "If you think the girl from the Li family is not suitable, you can choose slowly, as long as you ask Aunt Li to pay attention, there will definitely be Good girl."

Meng Da remained silent the entire time, unable to tell what he was thinking.After a while, he finally uttered three words, "Let's talk about it." After speaking, he turned and went out.

Is this willing or not?Meng Duo was a little puzzled.Early the next morning, Mrs. Li came to discuss the result, and Meng Duo had no choice but to think about it.

She couldn't see exactly what Meng Da was thinking, but Mrs. Li came over several times a day, and she really couldn't shirk it.

When Mrs. Li saw this, she went directly to Meng Da, told the girl's situation in detail, and then said: "Meng Duo is your younger brother and sister, some things are difficult to make up your mind, and you have no elders in your family. I'm too embarrassed to talk, don't worry, I'll take care of everything for you. Girls don't need dowries at home, so you can just arrange a few banquets."
