Chapter 152: An ugly name
The eldest daughter of Fu's sister-in-law immediately came back to her senses after hearing what her mother said.
From the very beginning, when these people entered the house, the eldest daughter of Fu's mother's sister-in-law hid in the corner and dared not come out.
If they had not listened to what Fu's mother and sister-in-law said and looked over there, they would never have noticed that there was a person standing there.
Perhaps, because of her family education, this little girl looks very timid since childhood.
I am very timid when I see strangers.
At this age, she doesn't have the vitality she should have.
At first glance, he looks like he is very inferior.
Jiang Xinyi and I compared this. Obviously, they were two girls of the same age, but one was as different as heaven and earth. There was no comparison at all.
It's really bad, not just a little bit.
After Fu's mother's sister-in-law called her name, everyone immediately shifted their attention to the little girl named Nian Di.
When Jiang Xin heard the name, she frowned immediately. She thought to herself, which rubbish gave such an ugly name to a little girl?
In the era when she lived, if she was given this name, it would definitely mean that her family favored boys over girls.
But for some reason, in the original owner's memory, she clearly remembered that her sister-in-law from Fu's mother's family had several children?
Not only that, but the first child is a boy. Since we already have a boy, why should we call him Nian Di?
Are you thinking there aren’t enough children in your family?
Jiang Xin really didn't quite understand.
Calling a little girl such a name is simply insulting.
Don't be so harsh!
If it were her, if her parents gave her a name like this, when she grew up, especially when she reached that rebellious age, she would really choose to change her name on her own.
Look at this little girl. The clothes she wears are patched and the sleeves are all white and torn from washing. Fortunately, her body is dressed neatly. Although the clothes are worn and patched, she doesn't look sloppy at all.
Jiang Xin stared closely at those hands, Nian Di's hands. She saw that at her age, her hands, which should have delicate skin, were covered with thick calluses and even frostbite.
When I looked up at her face again, not only was it tanned, but her skin was also in very bad condition. It was obvious that she had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time.
Although we live in the countryside, all the neighbors have daughters of the same age. How careless must a family be to raise a daughter like this?
It seems that on weekdays, Fu's sister-in-law and her mother on her mother's side don't pay much attention to their daughter and granddaughter.
Otherwise, how could a young girl in her prime be made to look like a middle-aged woman in her thirties?
Especially those hands, which looked like they were used to doing farm work. In the original owner's memory, when she and Fu Yu got married.
Although Fu's mother and sister-in-law from her mother's family did not come, Fu's mother's nephew still came. In other words, it would be a waste if you don't drink the wine.
That nephew is the eldest son of Fu's mother's sister-in-law, and the precious grandson who is about to get married as mentioned by Fu's mother.
He is in his thirties and still single because his family is not well off and he is lazy and only found a wife at this age.
Moreover, it took a lot of effort and he consulted many matchmakers before he finally found a sucker who was willing to take the position.
Moreover, it is a well-known fact among the people in the surrounding villages that Fu's family is lazy and gluttonous.
This notoriety spread far and wide, so when looking for a daughter-in-law, the matchmaker deliberately looked for someone from another village in order to avoid any embarrassment.
The reason is that they are far away from the bride's family, so they don't know the situation at their home, which can save them some worries when discussing marriage.
Otherwise, if they were closer, as soon as they heard that Fu's mother's family was going to marry a daughter-in-law, they would immediately kick the matchmaker out of the house, and would not give them the chance to propose marriage.
Not only that, they will also be insulted and told that this is just cheating someone else's daughter. They didn't provoke her or offend her, so why do they have to cheat her like this.
Even this marriage was arranged by Fu's mother, who asked several matchmakers and even spent a lot of money.
Even if nothing else is said, it can be said that Mother Fu has done her best for her family, especially her eldest nephew.
Even to her own son, Mother Fu was not so devoted.
When Fu's mother was in Jiang Xin and married Fu Yu, the wedding was extremely sloppy.
It can be said that we can hold a wedding at zero cost.
Anyway, in the surrounding villages, in this era, if a family has a child getting married, they will hold a grand wedding with great fanfare.
But in the end, although Fu's mother valued her second son Fu Yu the most, she made a mess of his wedding.
There were no new furniture in the house. Everything was old and worn out, some of which had been used for many years.
Nothing new was added to the house. In fact, at the beginning, when they were discussing the wedding, Fu's mother didn't even want to buy window decorations.
In the end, Father Fu couldn't stand it anymore and felt that even if Mother Fu looked down on Jiang Xin, her sudden daughter-in-law.
That can’t be too much!
It doesn't look like a wedding at all. If there is no atmosphere at all, then when the wedding day comes, the neighbors will come and laugh at their family.
As for money, as the saying goes, it should be spent wisely.
But, when encountering big things, you can't be so stingy.
No matter what, it has to look okay on the surface.
Even if they dislike this daughter-in-law, they still have to save face for their family and make it acceptable.
Otherwise, when the time comes, the neighbors will not be laughing at Jiang Xin, but at their Fu family.
Although they have lived together for so many years, Father Fu knows Mother Fu better.
Knowing that she is very frugal in her daily life, she is very careful with every penny she spends.
Although their second son has earned a lot of money over the years, it is enough for the old couple to live a worry-free life.
Moreover, Fu Yu was a generous person. He never hid the money he earned. He directly reported the total amount to Fu's mother and even gave the bulk of it to her for safekeeping.
He only kept a portion for himself to use for living and purchasing daily necessities.
Moreover, Fu Yu was also very sensible and knew that his mother and father were getting older.
Gradually, I lost the ability to make money, and I had younger brothers and sisters at home who had to go to school.
No matter what you do, whether you live or not, you need to spend money, so Fu Yu simply gave enough money to Fu's mother in one go, allowing her to use the money she earned to supplement the household expenses.
It can also reduce the burden on the old couple.
After all, you are over 50 years old, and you have to enjoy some life no matter what.
It’s a pity that he didn’t know. He thought his parents were living a good life at home with his money, but in reality that was not the case.
Every time, the money he earned was taken away by his biological mother to support her family.
Even after so many years, the house has not been built. It’s ridiculous to think about it.
Especially, the matter of holding a wedding.
Mrs. Fu is so stingy that it's simply scary.
So, in the end, after some persuasion from Fu's father, Fu's mother reluctantly agreed, took out ten yuan from her wallet, handed it to Fu's father, and asked him to use the ten yuan to buy wedding supplies.
At that time, Mr. Fu was completely dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fu was so unwilling to listen to advice.
This operation really shocked Mr. Fu.
In this day and age, prices are very low, and everything sold in shopping malls is also very cheap. But ten dollars to buy wedding supplies is really a bit too outrageous, right?
To put it bluntly, these ten dollars are not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth.
Mr. Fu was thoughtful and wanted to say a few more words to persuade Mrs. Fu so that she could wake up.
Even if they are not satisfied with their daughter-in-law, this is still a big event in their son's life.
Even at the beginning, Fu's mother didn't even want to have a banquet. She just wanted to keep it simple and just hold a ceremony.
After all, their family doesn't have the means to be extravagant.
At that time, Mr. Fu just thought that it was Mrs. Fu who was dissatisfied with Jiang Xin because she looked down on her daughter-in-law. That was why she was so careless and perfunctory about the wedding.
As a result, what he didn't know was that at that time, Fu's mother actually took all the money in her pocket and gave it to her nephew from her mother's side as a betrothal gift.
Not only that, she even spent a large sum of money to buy a house in town for her nephew from her mother's side.
So, when Fu Yu was about to get married, she really had no money in her pocket.
It's not that she is stingy. After all, Mrs. Fu is an elderly woman and has lived in this village for so many years. She is not someone who doesn't have any common sense.
For an event as big as a wedding, she certainly knew that she should spend money where necessary and not spend money where necessary.
This son will only get married once in his life, so of course he wants to have a grand wedding, but the problem is that she has no money at all.
Moreover, Mother Fu couldn't tell others about the pain in her heart. If Father Fu knew that she had been secretly supporting her parents' family for so many years, he would definitely have a big fight with her.
Mother Fu would not take such a risk.
So, it happened that Jiang Xin bumped in at this time.
It also gave Fu's mother an excuse to tell others that she was not satisfied with Jiang Xin as a daughter-in-law, so she was so careless about the details of the wedding.
In this way, people in the village will not laugh at their family too much. Not only that, they will even help her to scold Jiang Xin.
After all, Jiang Wan was such an outstanding girl who almost became their family's daughter-in-law. Losing such a daughter-in-law who could be admitted to the Normal University in the provincial capital was truly like their family losing a piece of gold.
If you think this way, how could Mother Fu not have any resentment at all?
Subconsciously, she vented all her resentment on Jiang Xin.
In this way, you can spend less money.
Secondly, she really had no money in her pocket.
During that period, Fu Yu had just returned from going out to sea, and all the money he had just earned was handed over to her.
Basically, the money was not even kept warm in Fu's mother's pocket, and was directly taken away by her to take over her parents' home.
Logically speaking, this amount of money is indeed a considerable sum. The money Fu Yu earned from that trip to sea was much more than what he earned in the previous times.
Moreover, perhaps because he knew that he was about to get married, Fu Yu worked very hard during that period.
The purpose is to earn more money to support the family, and then work harder for the small family after getting married.
However, he didn't know that the worst thing he had done was to give all the money he earned to Fu's mother for safekeeping.
Anyway, Mrs. Fu is his biological mother and she would never betray him no matter what.
This is what Fu Yu thought in his heart.
Little did they know how ridiculous such an idea was.
At the beginning, when Fu Yu and others learned that Fu's mother only gave Fu's father ten dollars to let him hold the wedding, they were silent for a long time.
In the end, looking at Fu's father's anxious look, Fu Yu knew that no one could persuade him with that kind of character.
Once you have identified a truth, it is impeccable.
No matter how others persuade me, it is of no use.
So, instead of wasting time talking, it is better to think of other ways to solve the problem.
That way, less time can be wasted.
Therefore, Fu Yu took charge of everything directly. He assured Fu's father that he would be in charge of everything concerning the wedding.
After all, he was an adult man at that time.
I still have this sense of responsibility.
Moreover, he was the one who married the wife. Although the bride was replaced halfway through, this path was also his own choice, so there is no regret for him.
Moreover, in Fu Yu's heart, if he married Jiang Wan, he would feel uneasy, even though he had earned a lot of money over the years.
It is enough to support a family.
However, ever since Jiang Wan was admitted to the Normal University in the provincial capital, Fu Yu had a vague premonition in his heart.
