The first one to go out and greet Qiao Jiangxin was still a bootlicker.
"Dog licking dog, oh, no, you lick little fish, hahahaha."
Liu Xinyan followed Qiao Jiangxin's voice and said, "Are you here?"
She knew that Qiao Jiangxin had borrowed a bullock cart to go to town.
Qiao Jiangxin nodded and glanced into the house. Gu Yunzhou was sitting alone on a stool, looking at the jujube tree in the yard with empty eyes.
"Yes, I'm here. Is this Mr. Cheng? I want to borrow your calendar."
Liu Xinyan was not in a good mood. "No, I went to cut the grass. You want to see the calendar, right? I'll get it for you."
Qiao Jiangxin looked towards Gu Yunzhou and said, "Brother Gu, please help me unload the ox cart. It's a bit heavy."
Gu Yunzhou then noticed Qiao Jiangxin coming in. Hearing her shouting, he quickly stood up and went forward to help.
Even though he felt like he had no strength.
The two men unloaded the cart and propped it upright on the wall.
"Thank you~, you are so strong." Qiao Jiangxin gave him a smile.
Gu Yunzhou was stunned for a moment, and forced out a weak smile, "You're welcome."
Liu Xinyan came out of the house and was a little surprised to see this scene.
"Jiang Xin, I've got the calendar. What are you looking for it for?"
Qiao Jiangxin followed Gu Yunzhou and sat down at the table. "My uncle is getting married."
"Ah? Really?" Liu Xinyan knew that Uncle Qiao was almost forty years old and still hadn't married.
Gu Yunzhou also subconsciously looked at Qiao Jiangxin.
Qiao Jiangxin nodded, "Really? Why don't you choose a good day? We just came back from there."
Liu Xinyan became interested, "What kind of person is he?"
Qiao Jiangxin glanced at Gu Yunzhou out of the corner of her eye. "She's a widow with a miserable life. She has a son. We've already negotiated for a betrothal gift of 200 yuan."
Liu Xinyan was silent for a moment. "A widow with a son? Two hundred is not a low price. In our city, we only marry a daughter-in-law for a little over one or two hundred, and she is still a virgin."
Qiao Jiangxin nodded, "It's a mutual agreement. My uncle is also willing. She fought for this condition herself. She didn't force my uncle to marry her. If the conditions weren't so harsh, she might have married him a long time ago."
After thinking for a while, Qiao Jiangxin explained, "From the man's perspective, I think she is too much, but as a woman, I actually admire her a little.
Not to mention the countryside, there are many men beating their wives even in the city. Just ask Uncle Cheng in our village, how many men have never beaten their wives?
Last year, there was a woman in their village who was beaten and forced to drink drugs. She said that she just couldn't get married for a cheap marriage. If the next marriage couldn't be better than her current life, she would rather not get married.
She just wants to let the man know that she is not someone he can marry easily. If anyone dares to hit her, she will run away and make the man waste his money. ”
Liu Xinyan's eyes lit up, "You have a very fierce temper."
Qiao Jiangxin raised her lips, "So she doesn't have her family's support, and her last marriage was good, her husband's family treated her well, if her husband hadn't died early...
I think it is better than those who have no opinions of their own and just follow whatever their elders say.
Besides, she was right about one thing: no matter how hard it is to make money in this world, it is harder than human nature. As long as she is determined to live with my uncle, I believe it will be fine.
