Chapter 80: Fate
Ye Caiping said: "I don't want to propose marriage, I just want to inquire."
She has to prepare for both situations.
It would be fine if Ye Yong really didn't marry her in the future, but if he did, she would have to know both herself and him well, so that she could win every battle.
Tie Niu’s wife understood.
It hasn't come to the stage of proposing marriage, but maybe there is such an intention.
That’s right, you have to understand it clearly before making a decision.
Tie Niu's wife said, "The Hu family was quite wealthy many years ago."
"Xiu Xiu's father was hardworking and good at tending to the crops. He also knew how to catch fish. He often took them to the town to sell and earned some money. Unfortunately, he lost them while fishing six years ago."
"As for Xiuxiu's mother, she loves to pick on others, is very proud, and likes to be arrogant and flattered by others."
"When she gave birth to Xiuxiu, she was so young that she didn't even dare to speak loudly. But after she gave birth to several boys, her pride almost reached the sky."
"As for Xiuxiu, she is like her father, honest and hardworking, with a good temper and good food. Her younger brothers, the third and fourth brothers, are all very obedient and sensible."
Ye Caiping frowned: "We have been talking for so long, but I don't think I have mentioned her eldest and second brothers."
"Oh. I... haven't seen him for many years..." Tie Niu's wife didn't know if this adjective was accurate:
"The last time I saw her, it seemed like a long time ago. That time I brought some cabbage to Xiuxiu, and I saw her eldest or second brother leaving the room and going to the toilet."
Ye Caiping was confused after hearing this.
Tie Niu’s wife quickly explained: “I asked this question many years ago. To put it bluntly, it’s just laziness! That kind of laziness…it’s just lying in bed every day, doing nothing, eating, sleeping, sleeping, and then continuing to sleep…”
Ye Caiping: “…”
After a moment of silence, Ye Caiping said, "Are they okay?"
"Probably not." Tie Niu's wife said with a sigh:
"Xiuxiu's eldest and second brothers are twins, two years younger than Xiuxiu, and are already 15. The third is 13, the fourth is 7, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh are triplets, posthumous children, and are only 6 years old."
"When Xiaoyi and Xiaoer were born, Xiuxiu's mother took the two brothers out every day to show off, and her heart was completely devoted to them. Even when she gave birth to Xiaosan and Xiaoer, she was perfunctory about it. They were all raised by Xiuxiu alone."
"The two brothers have been lazy since they were young. If they run a few more steps, Xiuxiu's mother will feel heartbroken. They used to visit us often when they were young, but now we haven't even seen their shadows. Occasionally, I hear Xiao Si say that they are like dead, lying in bed every day with their mouths open waiting for food. Even if money falls from the sky, they won't come out to pick it up."
The corners of Ye Caiping's mouth twitched slightly.
Typical deadbeat otaku.
They are not social pests, but they are termites.
"Alas, the two brothers are already 15 years old. If they were willing to work, they would have become the backbone of the family long ago, and Xiuxiu wouldn't have to work so hard."
Tie Niu's wife shook her head and said:
"Well, apart from the almost invisible Xiaoyi and Xiaoer, Xiaosan and Xiaosi are all very hardworking. After all, they grew up with Xiuxiu, so they are not much different."
Ye Caiping was speechless about the Hu family.
On the one hand, I feel sorry for Hu Xiuxiu, and on the other hand, if I marry one, I will have to drag along a bunch of top-notch girls... No, it's just three.
"How is it?" Tie Niu's wife asked cautiously, "Do you think you can marry her?"
Ye Caiping rubbed her temples: "It's not me who's marrying her. The decision is not in my hands."
Tie Niu's wife nodded and sighed: "I'll tell you the truth! As for Xiuxiu, she can be married, but her mother is not easy to get along with, and her elder and second brothers..."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "If I went into the mountains and fell in love with Xiuxiu, would you be willing?"
Tie Niu's wife grumbled, "Jin Shan has no interest in Xiu Xiu, being a sister."
"I said if."
“No ifs.”
"All right!"
“But…” Tie Niu’s wife said, “It’s not that I favor Xiu Xiu or anything, but I’m telling you the truth, whether Ye Yong marries Xiu Xiu or another girl, no family is truly clean.”
"Even if her mother is easy to get along with, her father might be a jerk. Even if her parents can get along, her brothers might hinder her. There will always be some problems. Perfection is impossible."
Tie Niu's wife said, glancing at her cautiously:
"I'm going to say something you don't want to hear... If you hadn't been divorced and changed your gender, your family would have been a huge hell. But at that time, Xiuxiu was already with Ye Yong and never disliked him."
"Let me tell you something else..."
As she spoke, Tie Niu's wife lowered her voice and said, "When Xiuxiu was fifteen, she almost ran away with Ye Yong. Later, Ye Yong felt guilty and sent Xiuxiu back."
"At that time... it was sent to my house. Only Xiuxiu's mother and I knew about this. Even your brother and sister-in-law didn't know."
Ye Caiping was stunned and couldn't help but think of the last time she fell into the water.
Hu Xiuxiu really wanted to marry Ye Yong, but at that time Ye Yong was still a hot potato and she didn't even know where to live after they got married.
Compared with the Hu family, Ye Yongcai at that time was more like a wolf's den and a tiger's den.
But Hu Xiuxiu never disliked it.
"You have to pick out her good points. Of course, you also have to pick out her bad points, but you have to think about whether Ye Yong can handle her bad points."
"If you can handle it, it won't be a big problem."
"The relationship between husband and wife is like drinking water, only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold. You are not Ye Yong, how do you know if he can handle it or if he is willing to handle it?"
"If you want to say that it was his parents' orders, the matchmaker's orders, and that the Daquan couple refused to let him marry, then that's another matter. There's no point in saying anything."
Ye Caiping was stunned and fell silent.
Ye Caiping said, "That's what I meant. I don't want to interfere too much. After all, this is a major event in his life, and it's also a major event for my brother and sister-in-law. I came here today to learn more, so that if I encounter any situation, I can deal with it."
Tie Niu's wife nodded: "Yes."
"Is Jinshan's mother at home? Hahaha, ouch!" At this time a laugh was heard, and Xiuxiu's mother came in carrying a basket.
When she saw Ye Caiping, the smile on Xiuxiuniang's face stopped.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Tie Niu’s wife was startled. I thought she didn’t hear what I just said, right?
She quickly stood up with a smile: "Why is Xixiuniang here? Come and sit down."
Xiuxiu's mother curled her lips, glanced at Ye Caiping, and then smiled again: "I'm here to treat you to wedding candy."
As he said this, his tone was a little proud: "My Xiuxiu is engaged!"
"What?" Tie Niu's wife was completely stunned, "How come they got engaged so soon?"
Xiuxiu's mother choked. They had just met yesterday and were getting engaged today. It was indeed a bit hasty, but she couldn't wait.
When she saw that Carpenter Cai had a shop in town, she couldn't wait any longer!
Not only did he have a shop, he also had a house, and it was said that he could earn one or two taels of silver a month.
We have to settle down with such a good family right away.
It just so happened that Carpenter Cai was also very pleased with Xiuxiu, so the two families exchanged engagement letters right away, and the Cai family even gave a deposit of one or two taels of silver.
"I haven't seen when the man will come to the house?" Tie Niu's wife was full of question marks.
Xiuxiu's mother looked a little unhappy.
Without going through any formalities and before the man even showed up, they rushed to finalize the marriage, making it seem as if the woman was worthless.
Xiuxiu's mother was a little embarrassed, but she still maintained a smile: "You just didn't see it."
Ye Caiping laughed: "It only took one day and one night, it's amazing."
Xiuxiu's mother was so angry that she said, "Who said my Xiuxiu is so good! She is pretty, has a good figure, and has seven younger brothers. You can tell at a glance that she will give birth to a son! She is so satisfied that she immediately begged us to arrange a marriage for her. She is not willing to wait even a day longer."
"Some people just don't know how to appreciate gold and jade, but that doesn't mean others don't have good taste."
In the end, it seemed to be true, and Xiuxiuniang became proud again.
Xiuxiu's mother took out a few candies from the basket and put them on the table: "Jinshan's mother, you can keep these candies to eat and share in the good fortune. I'm going home first."
"Oh, all right."
Tie Niu's wife smiled along and sent her out the door, then she stopped smiling.
He looked at Ye Caiping helplessly: "Alas, it seems that we are not destined to be together."
Ye Caiping sighed softly: "Let it be. It's getting late, I'm going home first."
