Chapter 90 I'm Not a Fool
After washing the clothes, Hu Xiuxiu walked home carrying the wooden basin.
Along the way, she met many villagers, and they all looked at her with sympathy.
Hu Xiuxiu didn't care and greeted them with a smile.
When I got home, I saw Tie Niu's wife sitting on a big rock at the door.
"Why are you here, auntie? Come in quickly." Hu Xiuxiu pushed open the gate.
Tie Niu's wife grabbed Hu Xiuxiu's hand and said, "You are such a pitiful child..."
She looked at Hu Xiuxiu with eyes full of pity and sighing.
In the past, everyone in the village praised Xiuxiu for being hardworking, capable, lucky, and good at giving birth.
Now, she has become a burning pit that no one dares to marry with a bunch of burdens. It's really... Alas!
"Aunt, I'm not pitiful." Hu Xiuxiu smiled.
Tie Niu's wife was slightly stunned, and felt that Hu Xiuxiu's smile was not fake, but came from the heart.
Moreover, it seemed clearer than before, and even had a sense of relief.
“You are…”
"Because I don't need to guarantee giving birth to a son!" Hu Xiuxiu started hanging clothes.
Tie Niu's wife suddenly realized. After I figured it out, I felt even more sympathetic towards her and held her hand tightly:
"These years... you have suffered so much."
"It's all over. Now... everything is fine." Hu Xiuxiu felt relieved.
Very good, really good!
No matter whether I can succeed with Ye Yong in the end, it’s all good.
These years, the title of guaranteed birth of a son has been suffocating for her.
Bag? Which bag is she on!
Ordinary women still have to endure the pain of having children, not to mention that she is also labeled as a "bag".
Although no one knows what its final value will be, it is still sold at a high price.
Now, she is no longer a commodity to be sold.
Thinking of this, Hu Xiuxiu had a relaxed smile on her face, and she felt that the sky above her head was all blue.
Tie Niu's wife came with a mission: "Where are Xiao San and Xiao Si?"
"I went up the mountain to collect firewood."
"What a good boy. Where's your mother?"
"I lay in the room, and I shed so many tears."
"I'll go in and see her."
As she spoke, Tie Niu's wife walked towards the north room.
Since Xiuxiuniang came back from the town that time, she has become hunched over like a shrimp with its thread removed.
And there are rumors in the village...
Everyone says that Xiuxiu has a burden and anyone who marries her would be a fool.
She also said that it was all her fault as a mother. Why did she give birth to so many sons and only implicated her daughter.
In the past, her seven sons were her source of pride and confidence.
Now, it has become a stain on her, breaking her originally straight back bit by bit.
Oh my God, when did the world become so crazy that she couldn't recognize it?
Is it wrong for her to give birth to a son?
Why did it become like this...
"Xiu Xiu's mother." Tie Niu's wife walked in and came to her bedside.
"Jinshan Niang... wuwuwu..." Xiuxiu Niang grabbed Tieniu's wife's hand and cried bitterly: "Why do these people say this to me... What should I do now?"
Tie Niu's wife sighed: "It's not that easy, let Xiu Xiu get married quickly!"
"I don't know yet? I have searched all the matchmakers in Dashu Town, but none of them are willing to arrange a marriage..."
Let’s not talk about the twenty taels of betrothal gift, let’s just talk about the fact that my daughter can’t get married!
Because of this incident, her seven sons were said to be a burden.
She gave birth to seven sons, which was also a mistake!
She also got the notoriety of being a marriage fraudster and trying to sell her daughter and suck the blood of her son-in-law.
Her reputation was ruined and she became the laughing stock of the whole village!
If my daughter could get married now, she would be willing to accept ten taels, let alone twenty taels!
As long as her daughter gets married, she can turn the situation around.
"You are so stupid, how could you forget..." Tie Niu's wife looked around and whispered, "Isn't there still Ye Yong? He likes Xiu Xiu!"
Xiuxiuniang's eyes lit up, but the next moment, her face darkened again: "This matter... Humph, you want me to go back to my old love?"
She would never forget how ugly the marriage proposal was.
At that time, she even boasted that Xiuxiu would marry Carpenter Cai immediately.
As a result, she was slapped in the face.
If she had to say who she least wanted to embarrass herself in front of, the first one would be the Ye family!
If she were to go back to him now, wouldn't that be the end of her life?
Even so...
But it’s impossible to say no regrets…
At that time, the Ye family was willing to give her twenty taels and a gold hairpin, if she accepted...
It’s too late to say anything now! She couldn't lower her head!
Tie Niu's wife choked and thought, it's already this time, why do you still want to save face?
But then I thought, it’s a good thing that she still has some dignity left, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to control her.
Tie Niu's wife said unhappily, "Anyway, I've already reminded you. If you don't want to, just pretend I never said anything."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Xiuxiu's mother lay on the bed, feeling regretful at one moment and gritting her teeth in anger at another.
Finally I got up.
When I went out, I saw Hu Xiuxiu chopping grass for pigs.
"Silly girl..." Xiuxiuniang said reluctantly with a stern face, "Don't you like that Ye Yong?"
"Go and tell him that we don't need to make a living anymore. Just ask him to give you twenty taels and a gold hairpin. I will agree to your marriage."
Hu Xiuxiu didn't even raise her head and sneered:
"Your daughter is a rich lady, a precious gem. Why does she want so many things? No one wants these things even if they are given away for free, yet you want to sell them at such a high price. Do you really think she is a fool?"
Xiuxiu's mother's face was burning with anger. This damn girl was not scolding her, she was scolding her as her mother!
She said angrily, "How can you be so shameless! If you can't get married, you won't even have a good reputation!"
"Oh, I have a good reputation, everyone knows it, it's not my fault that I can't get married."
Xiuxiu's mother choked again: "You stupid girl, believe it or not, I will sell you out!"
"You sell it!" Hu Xiuxiu glanced at her with disdain, chopped the wooden stake with the hatchet in her hand, turned around and went into the house.
Xiuxiu's mother couldn't catch her breath and almost fainted.
This damn girl, why not just sell her off!
As long as you are willing to pay, you can sell it anywhere!
But the conscience in her heart was not completely dead.
After all, she is my own daughter. No matter how cruel I am, I can't force her to death.
Besides, if I really sold my daughter, how would the villagers look at her!
They all say that she caused her daughter to be unable to get married and was eventually sold! She will never be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life.
Also, if she married her daughter to Carpenter Cai, the mistresses and other children would be angry, but they would not hate her.
If she sold her daughter directly, they would hate her to death!
But Xiaoyi and Xiaoer are unreliable. In the future, she and Xiaoyi and Xiaoer will depend on Xiaosan and the others for support in their old age. She can't let them become alienated from her.
I can’t get married, and I can’t sell myself!
This is really a disaster!
The more Xiuxiuniang thought about it, the more frightened she became. She no longer cared about her face and turned around and walked out.
She knew that Ye Yong often went to the jujube tree to chop firewood.
She waited there for a long time and finally met Ye Yong.
Under the jujube tree, Ye Yong was concentrating on cutting branches.
Xiuxiu's mother carried a basket and pretended to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. She adjusted her hair and came out: "Oh, Dayong is chopping wood."
Ye Yong glanced back at her and nodded: "Yeah."
Turn around and continue chopping.
Xiuxiu's mother was choked to death, and she felt that Ye Yong no longer respected her as much as before.
She gritted her teeth and smiled, "Dayong, don't you like Xiuxiu?"
"It is not advisable to break up a couple in love. After much thought, I still think it is better to let you and Xiuxiu be together."
Ye Yong sighed fiercely: "What are you talking about, aunt? I am honest, but not stupid. No one dares to marry me now, so you are using me as a backup, right?"
Xiuxiu's mother's smile froze on her face. She gritted her teeth and said, "At this point, it's better to bow her head and say, "Dayong, you, you just help Xiuxiu!"
"I can't help you, aunt. It's your fault for giving birth to so many sons."
With a "pa bang", Xiuxiuniang felt as if someone had stepped on her sore spot.
Ye Yong continued, "If I marry her, won't I have a few more burdens?"
"Luckily you didn't agree at that time. Thinking about it now, I broke out in a cold sweat. Thank you, Auntie, for pushing me further that day, otherwise I would have become a victim now."
