Chapter 275 Marrying Empty-Handed
Moreover, according to her understanding, the management of businesses in this dynasty was not very strict, and as long as the business was not too big, the children in the family could take the imperial examinations.
Her little snack shop is just a small business.
It does not affect children's scientific examinations at all.
If there was an extremely intelligent guy among the brothers, wouldn't my family have to change their allegiance?
No matter how you look at it, it's not a loss.
Unfortunately, girls were not allowed to go to school, so my two sisters could not go.
There were no female tutors in the small town, and even if there were any, they were all hired by wealthy families. There was no chance that their family would have one.
As he was thinking, Jiang Fubao fell asleep in the recliner.
at the same time.
The home of Widow Liu in Jiangjia Village was packed with people.
After paying homage to heaven and earth, the couple were sent to the bridal chamber.
Jiang Zhuzi was so impatient that he wanted to have sex right away.
Unfortunately, he was dragged out for drinks by some of his good friends.
What they drank was not good wine, but sour wine brewed from brown rice. It tasted terrible and had a low alcohol content. The can was the size of a head and sold for only 20 cents a can.
Jiang Zhuzi begged for a long time before Widow Liu reluctantly bought three cans the day before the wedding.
Jiang Tongtu, who was sitting at the main table with his grandfather, looked at them with his eyes rolling.
He always kept in mind the tasks assigned by his sister.
Don't be fooled by his eyes looking around, he is very fast in grabbing food.
The village is poor.
As soon as a dish is served on the table, it is immediately snatched away.
So much so that after eating for a long time, there were only plates on the table, but no food.
If you don’t know, you might think they are eating air.
But everyone seems to be used to it.
When the food is served, everyone starts to grab it. After eating, everyone starts to chat and everyone is happy.
"Did you see that Widow Liu's daughter-in-law brought nothing with her, not even a blanket. So she came in empty-handed?"
"That's right. Look, Widow Liu's face has fallen. This is five taels of silver. I have lived half a lifetime and I have never heard of anyone asking for so much silver to marry off their daughter. How come she is made of gold? Tsk tsk, I think she looks just like that, not even as pretty as Zhou Yuanyuan from Zhoujiacun."
"Don't mention Zhou Yuanyuan, don't you know? Zhang's eldest grandson was almost deceived by that whore. She was pregnant. If she really married into the family, wouldn't she be a cuckold with Jin? Hey, the clan leader is here, don't mention the Zhou family."
The three old ladies who were chatting hurriedly shut up.
Jiang Tongtu felt a little embarrassed.
Their voices are too loud.
He heard it clearly, how could grandpa not hear it?
Probably because he was afraid of embarrassing them, Jiang Shoujia turned his head and started talking to an old man of the same age next to him.
Jiang Tongtu found Ma Chunxia in the crowd.
He walked over quietly, pretending to squat on the ground playing in the mud, but actually eavesdropping.
Widow Liu was digging the door.
There were only six dishes on the table, all of them were vegetarian.
The meal lasted an hour, and for most of the hour the villagers were looking at the empty tables and chatting.
It's past noon.
The men left first, carrying their own borrowed dishes, tables and chairs.
The woman stayed behind to help wash the dishes.
Sun Xiaotao, who was sitting in the house, looked unhappy.
This shabby house is not even as good as her home.
The roof is covered with dense spider webs, and the sunlight can shine in through the gaps in the roof. This is especially true if it rains.
I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night.
The light caught the rain.
Moreover, there were no gravel on the floor of the house.
It's all mud.
The cloth shoes she had made had only been made for half a year, but they had already become dirty.
"Wife, I'm here. You've been sitting on the bed all day. Are you tired? Are you hungry? Can I go to the kitchen and get you a bowl of rice?"
Jiang Zhuzi has rarely drunk alcohol, so his alcohol tolerance is very poor.
He was already half drunk and was staggering as he walked, but he could not forget his wedding night with Sun Xiaotao.
"I'm hungry."
Jiang Zhuzi's hands, which were taking off his clothes, froze.
He didn't expect that Sun Xiaotao really wanted to eat it.
"Well, okay, I'll go serve you some food." Jiang Zhuzi held back his anger and staggered out again.
"Mom, is there any more food? Xiao Tao is hungry."
He shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Where is the rice? She's finished eating. There's only some soup left in the pot. You can ask her to eat tomorrow. Whose new bride is so greedy? She's clamoring for food before the wedding night. I've never seen such a thing before."
Widow Liu was very resentful because Sun Xiaotao did not bring any dowry.
As a result, he didn't treat his son well.
"You can't let her go hungry, mother. You are such a fool. Why don't you just serve her a bowl? You know I can't leave. How about adding some water to the soup, stirring it, and calling it soup? Serve me a bowl and I'll give it to Xiaotao. She's so hungry that she has no strength to drink, and I don't have the heart to torture her."
Being drunk, Jiang Zhuzi started to talk obscene words.
The words that Widow Liu was about to say were choked.
"You little brat, it's not even dark yet, be careful not to let that little goblin suck all your energy away. Okay, you go back first, I'll bring the soup to her right away. Look at you, you reek of alcohol. In order to marry you to her, we spent all our savings, and we still have to buy you alcohol. If it weren't for the income from the bamboo bank, we wouldn't even be able to afford brown rice..."
Halfway through her mumbling, Widow Liu looked up and found that her son was missing.
She was so angry that she smashed the spatula in her hand and cursed at the air: "Humph, I'll trouble you again tomorrow, you little devil, you really think your thing is made of gold, if you don't give me a grandson, I'll torture you to death."
One minute later.
She picked up a bowl of pot water and went to her son's bedroom.
"Well, drink the soup. We have finished our meals and there is only this little soup left. Drink it and get up early tomorrow. Before you leave the house, your mother should have taught you how to be a wife, right?
From now on, the housework will be handed over to you. I am old enough to enjoy a peaceful life. Now that I have helped Zhuzi find a wife, I will feel at ease. Zhuzi, don't sleep too late and take care of yourself."
After giving their instructions, Widow Liu turned around and left, even considerately closing the door for them.
Sun Xiaotao looked at the soup in the bowl, which looked like water from a pot.
I couldn't drink it because I felt disgusted.
She clearly remembered that there seemed to be no soup at today's banquet.
I don’t know what this bowl of yellow and black water is.
Her face turned cold.
"What does your mother mean? You're giving me a cold shoulder right after I got married. Do you really think I'm easy to bully? I'm telling you, Jiang Zhuzi, if you don't want to marry me, just send me back! Who wants to marry you? What did you say to me when you came to my house? Was it all bullshit?"
At worst, we can just get a divorce. Anyway, I am still a virgin, and there must be a lot of people lining up to marry me. If you bully me, I will go back to my parents' home and never come back."
Sun Xiaotao grew up being pampered.
His temper isn't much better.
She smashed the bowl in her hand to the ground, and Jiang Zhuzi sobered up immediately.
