Miao Liang Di Yaohui Wu
"Auntie Li, it's getting late. I have to work quickly, otherwise my uncle and aunt will be angry again." Auntie Li said the truth, Miao Liang did not deny it, the problem was that if her second uncle did not take her in, she did not know where she could go.
In this way, even if life at Uncle Miao's house was hard, Miao Liang did not dare to have any extra thoughts, and could only listen to Uncle Miao's family's orders, working harder than a cow and eating less than a dog every day.
Miao Liang had not considered personal problems yet, but other people in Uncle Miao's family had already begun to help Miao Liang consider this problem.
"How's your choice? Which family are you going to marry your niece to? The family next door, their three generations have been poor, just like us. If your niece marries into this family, they will be willing to give us 100 kilograms of grain."
"This family is actually quite good. They are in charge of the production team and slaughtering pigs. If your niece marries into this family, she won't have to worry about having no human flesh in the future." Of course, as their niece's husband, it would be okay for him to be a little filial to them. "And this, he is willing to pay fifty dollars as a betrothal gift for your niece to marry. Speaking of which, your niece is really worth the money. The conditions of the three families I showed you are not bad. Once she marries, she will eat well and dress well, and enjoy much more than in our family. As her aunt, it is not easy for me to do this for her."
Uncle Miao heard Aunt Miao bragging about the three families his wife had chosen for Miao Liang. He knew what kind of families they were without his wife telling him.
The first family, yes, three generations of poor farmers, the grandfather is a gangster, the father is a scoundrel, and the son is a lame man. How can such a family have good conditions?
It is because the son is a lame man and it is difficult for him to find a wife, so he is willing to squeeze out 100 kilograms of grain from the family to marry his niece.
As for the second family, the butcher, hey...
this butcher is in his twenties this year, almost ten years older than Miao Liang.
A few years ago, this man was engaged, but because of his bad temper, he saw his fiancée talking to a boy at school, so he beat up both the man and the girl, and also scolded the girl for being shameless and flirting with other girls.
So, in the end, the girl would rather not get married in her life than marry such a man.
The third...
Uncle Miao didn't want to say anything. The second family was only nearly ten years older than Miao Liang, but the third family was more than ten years older.
That was a second marriage, with two boys and a daughter in the family, and his original wife was exhausted.
Well, fifty yuan sounds like a lot, but there are rumors that the man is doing some speculative activities.
Once caught by the Red Guards, the whole family will be in trouble.
So Uncle Miao always felt that the man’s first wife was really tired. She was the only one who did all the work at home and outside to earn work points, while the man was just thinking about some "improper" things. How could she not be tired?
Tiredness plus fear, even a strong man would not be able to bear it, wouldn’t that shorten her life?
"I've been talking for a long time and my mouth is dry. Give me a response and make a decision. Miao Liang is your niece. I, your aunt, am not as close to her as you, your uncle. You should make a decision quickly. People are waiting for our answer." Aunt Miao pushed Uncle Miao and asked him to give an answer.
The gifts from these three families vary in amount, but no matter how you calculate it, all of this gift money was earned by Uncle Miao's family for free, without any loss.
It's all about taking advantage, whether it's a bigger advantage or a smaller one, Aunt Miao doesn't mind at all, what she cares about is to marry Miao Liang as soon as possible, so that she can find a good match for her daughter Miao Lanlan.
As long as Miao Liang is at their house, those who come to see her always mention Miao Liang's name, as if they have forgotten the existence of their daughter.
Aunt Miao has her own plans, and Uncle Miao is not stupid, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken so much advantage of Miao's father over the years, it was Miao's father who did all the work, but in the end, he was the one who benefited.
Uncle Miao took a puff of his cigarette and said, "If you ask me about this, none of these three families can do it. Of course, if you make up your mind and decide which family to go with, I can't stop you."
Miao Liang has lived in their house for so many years, and some people in the production team have said a lot of gossip, saying that he is like a landlord, oppressing and enslaving his niece, treating her as a prostitute.
The room he lives in now and the money for marrying a wife were all given to him by his eldest brother.
He relies on his eldest brother to have a good life today. He has ginseng in his hand that his eldest brother lost his life to find, but he is still so harsh to Miao Liang. This is almost like the landlord stage exploiting the hard work and labor results of the working people.
Uncle Miao always remembers how fierce the struggle has been in recent years.
Uncle Miao didn't want to sacrifice himself and his entire family just to gain a little advantage over Miao Liang.
Once they were targeted by the Red Guards because of Miao Liang's case, their lives would be worse than death, so it would be better to just die.
Thinking of the scene he had seen before, Uncle Miao shuddered, turned around, and said to Aunt Miao that he would never get involved in this matter: "If this marriage is not concluded, it will become an arranged marriage. Whatever you want to do, I will not stop you. If you want to ask for my opinion, I will say that these three families are not suitable for my niece, and these three people are not worthy of my niece."
"You..." Aunt Miao's little trick did not succeed, and she was embarrassed and annoyed, "Why do I work so hard? Isn't it for our family? As long as Miao Liang is here, no one knows or cares that you, Miao Lao Er, also have a concubine. If not, would I need to spend this effort to find someone for Miao Liang to marry? I have that kind of free time, why not find a few more rich families for our Lan Lan?"
"If you are really just considering Lanlan, then I would advise you to find an ordinary family for Miao Liang. Don't say that Miao Liang was raised by our family. How can you not accept a gift money after marrying Miao Liang? Let's just say that she gets a daughter-in-law for free. You know how much money the ginseng left by my eldest brother was exchanged for. You know and I know. Let alone Miao Liang, even if my eldest brother leaves another child, it won't cost us our family's money to raise my brother's child. As long as the family you find for Miao Liang is not for the gift money given by others, I agree with whatever family you decide on. I'll take the responsibility for this."
Uncle Miao felt sorry for anything else that was too much. Even if the person who did it was his wife, he would not take the blame.
If he were to take the blame, someone would die. That was why he didn't want the good things he got from his elder brother to be taken away by his wife and married to another man.
