Chapter 111: The Mother and Daughter Who Don’t Fight Each Other
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
Xia Kexin's reaction was huge, "Sister, you can't go! You and Third Brother Shen haven't gotten married yet!"
"Is my brother-in-law here this time for your marriage?"
"According to our customs, you can't see each other before you get married!"
Xia Keqing was stunned.
This is really the custom here.
She tapped Xia Kexin's forehead and said unhappily, "You little brat!"
This remark stirred up a hornet's nest again, "Sister, I'm already that old, how can I be small?"
Xia Keqing laughed.
Children all want to grow up and hope to be treated like adults by adults.
But when I grow up, I hope to go back to my carefree childhood.
Little girl, you will understand later.
"Then I'm leaving!"
Xia Kexin walked away in a hopping manner, and after taking a few steps, she immediately stopped.
What if her mother saw it, she would say that she was jumping around like a rabbit and not steady at all!
She is already sixteen years old. After the New Year, she will be seventeen, and soon will be eighteen. What's wrong with her?
The little girl was very serious, even clasping her hands and feet.
Xia Keqing: ...
But she still followed quietly, mainly because she was a little worried.
My younger brother and sister are still young, unlike Xia Feifei and her brother.
If she remembered correctly, Xia Wei was already nineteen years old this year. The brother and sister had a very similar personality to her great aunt. They were best at taking advantage of others' misfortunes and stealing their talents.
Of course, this is the original owner's impression of this pair of cousins.
Xia Keqing thought it could be used as a reference.
…
"Sis, where are we going?"
Xia Feifei was so angry that she walked faster and faster, so fast that Xia Wei could hardly keep up.
"Shall we go home?"
He panted as he chased.
Xia Feifei stopped and looked at him with some disdain, "I told you to exercise more and help me with work more, but look at you, you're still so young, and you're out of breath after walking a few steps. What else can I expect from you?"
Xia Wei smiled and didn't care at all, "Sister, are we still going to rob Shen Lao San?"
Xia Feifei paused...
The expression on his face suddenly turned ferocious.
"Let's go! Let's go to the Shen family. Didn't they say that Third Master Shen is back? I want to see what he looks like!"
Xia Wei was excited when he heard this. "In fact, we can tell by looking at Boss Shen and Boss Shen No. 2."
"Or look at Shen Laosi!"
Xia Feifei was stunned. "Shen Laosi is about your age. Is he in the same class with you?"
Xia Wei bared his teeth and said, "No, that boy is from the class next door, he looks good, and there are girls who like him!"
Xia Feifei's eyes lit up.
Generally speaking, brothers and sisters with the same father and mother will look somewhat similar.
Because she hadn't been back for many years, Xia Feifei didn't have a deep impression of the Shen family's appearance. The only ones she had some impression of were Shen's father, Shen's mother, and the eldest brother Shen.
But Mr. and Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen are all farmers, and those who work on the land at home are usually tanned.
Even if you are very good-looking, after being overwhelmed by life and farm work, you can’t tell what’s good-looking or not.
In other words, in Xia Feifei's inherent impression, people who farm in the countryside are all ugly.
(This is Xia Feifei's idea, not the author's!)
But I heard from my younger brother that Shen Laosi is liked by girls in school, so he must not be ugly.
"Okay, let's go check it out first."
In fact, no matter how Shen Lao San looks, Xia Feifei doesn't care.
As long as he has a high rank in the army and has a promising future, that's enough.
Under the education of Aunt Xia, Xia Feifei has always been a sophisticated and selfish person. The more such a person is, the lower their expectations of others are, and the less they care about feelings.
What matters is the actual benefits you can get.
In other words, once she can find someone better, wouldn't Shen Lao San be abandoned by her in a minute?
In her previous life, she had been picky for a long time, but in the end she was too old for that kind of thing in the small place, and her mother was afraid that if she continued to be picky, she would not be able to get married.
Xia Feifei was 27 years old when she got married in her previous life.
If it were in the future, 27 years old is the prime of life, and for those who are older, it is not too late as long as they are willing to get married and start a family.
But this era has deeper shackles and prejudices against women.
Aunt Xia thinks that girls are worthless after they are twenty-five.
Her daughter is already 27 years old. If she doesn't get married, when she turns 30, where will she and her child's father put their faces?
People will laugh at your daughter for not being able to get married!
This is so embarrassing, I can't do this!
Moreover, the older she gets, the lower the bride price she can ask for. In other words, if you raise a girl for a long time, she will no longer be worth anything!
So he forced Xia Feifei to get married and took the opportunity to ask for a large sum of money as a dowry.
So even if Shen Lao San was extremely dark and extremely ugly, Xia Feifei would still find a way.
After all, her memories from her previous life told her that this Shen Lao San was very promising.
Xia Feifei patted her clothes, tidied herself up a little, and immediately took Xia Wei with her. The two siblings went to the Shen family in high spirits.
There are two small paths between the Xia family and the Shen family, so any loud noise can be heard.
As soon as I approached the Shen family, I heard a lot of noise.
Xia Feifei couldn't help but be shocked.
"Sister, let me tell you, Mr. Shen must have become rich, otherwise how could his yard be so lively?"
Xia Feifei remained silent.
Aunt Xia has a strong personality and loves to compare herself with others, not only with her mother, her biological sister-in-law, but also with other women in the village.
Because of this, Aunt Xia is particularly well-informed.
Xia Feifei is older and more intelligent. When she was a child, she heard her mother say that the Shen couple had so many children and had a hard time raising them, and they were a notoriously poor family in the brigade.
People are very realistic. Because the Shen family is in financial difficulty, the Shen family's yard is deserted during the holidays.
Only her second uncle and his wife were willing to interact with them.
Because Shen's mother and Xia's mother had a good relationship when they were young.
Perhaps because of this, the Shen family is willing to marry into the Xia family.
Aunt Xia regretted more than once. If she had known that Third Brother Shen was so promising, she would not have deliberately avoided interacting with the Shen family. But Aunt Xia was not a woman who would waste time on herself, she blamed everything on Mother Xia.
Scold her for being scheming and plotting against the Shen family.
Xia Feifei couldn't help but sneer when she thought of this. Her mother was like that. No matter what happened, good or bad, it was always someone else's fault.
But sometimes I think it’s good to have a mentality like her mother’s.
Anyway, it's others who are being tortured.
Xia Feifei and her brother went to the Shen family, but found them empty-handed. Shen Lan came out to receive them.
"Who are you looking for?"
Although Chen Lan and Xia Feifei were elementary school classmates, they have all grown up now and have not seen each other for many years. They look a little unfamiliar and they did not recognize each other for a moment.
"Chen Lan, I'm Xia Feifei, don't you recognize me?"
Shen Lan frowned and thought for a while, "Fei Fei."
Because they were once classmates, Shen Lan's attitude became a little more enthusiastic, "Are you... coming to see me?"
How could Xia Feifei say no? She winked at her brother Xia Wei and said, "Yes, I came to see you. How is it? We haven't seen each other for many years, right? What are you doing now?"
Shen Lan did not answer her question.
She looked Xia Feifei up and down.
It was obvious that she was dressed up specially.
She thought of the rumors in the village, and looked at Xia Feifei with a more critical look, "What about you? I heard that you went out to work after graduating from junior high school. How are you now?"
