Chapter 55: The eldest uncle and his family went to discuss the marriage
. "Pingxing didn't say anything about this, so we can't interrupt." The third uncle said after a moment of silence.
"That's not right. The eldest sister-in-law has moved her parents to the side room. She should know who Pingxing is going to marry. Why is she..."
Since the Yuan family once released the words of recruiting a son-in-law, it doesn't make sense that the third uncle would know about it, but she doesn't know?
Now in order to let Liang Pingxing get married, she has driven the old man out of the main house. Is she playing dumb?
"She thinks she is smart and wants to play dumb." The third uncle snorted coldly.
"Is she crazy?" Liang Xiaoying immediately understood what she was thinking. She
wanted to play moral kidnapping. Their family moved the old people away in order to marry Yuan Ling. If they didn't say it together at this time, they would be criticized by the villagers.
Another thing is, if Yuan Ling compromised because of this, it would be hard to say whether Liang Pingxing would be the bride price.
At that time, most married people lived with their parents, unless some people went to the city to work hard, and were allocated houses by the company after settling down in the city, or if they were able to buy a house themselves, most women lived in their husband's house.
The Yuan family wanted to recruit a live-in son-in-law, so they were definitely not willing to let Yuan Ling live in the man's house, after all, it was easy to control a young girl.
So the eldest aunt-in-law thought of such a bad move. She was not very smart,
but she was good at making noise. Now the noise has made the family unhappy. She is the one who failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice.
"This is not something we can manage. If we don't do it right, we'll be in big trouble. Let them deal with it themselves. We just need to build our parents' house." The third uncle waved his hands, obviously not wanting to get involved in the affairs of the first wife.
Liang Xiaoying wanted to say something, but she thought about it and shut up again. As a married woman, it was still reasonable for her to manage her own parents, but it was not reasonable for her to manage her nephew.
"I'm afraid that this matter will get out of hand, and my parents will know about it, and they won't be able to bear it."
"What can they do if they can't bear it?" The third uncle also sighed.
Before, when the two daughters of the first wife got married, the grandmother cried and hurt her eyes because the daughter-in-law of the first wife raped her daughters.
If there is a fuss this time because of Liang Pingxing's marriage, I don't know how sad the two old people will be.
However, if they said they didn't want Yuan Ling as their daughter-in-law, the first person to object would probably be the first wife in the first house. Liang Pingxing finally got married, and this daughter-in-law's family was not ordinary. How could she give up?
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Liang Xiaoying didn't want to chat with her third brother anymore, so she said she wanted to go see her parents.
Then she took Cui Xue to the first house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Liang's father standing by the well, struggling to draw water.
Liang Xiaoying immediately went forward to help.
"Dad, you want to draw water, right? Let me help you."
"Yingzi? Why are you here?" Liang's father was surprised to see her and Cui Xue.
"Grandpa, my brother passed the exam to work as a temporary worker in the machinery factory, working as a truck driver. In two days, he will go to other places with the old master to deliver goods. The first time he leaves the hospital, my mother will bring him to ask my sixth cousin for advice."
Cui Xue explained with a smile. Liang's father was very happy to hear that Cui Yingxiong was eating commercial grain.
"Great, great, Yingxiong has made great progress."
"Dad, where should I put this water for you?" Liang Xiaoying drew a bucket of water and asked Liang's father.
"Here, pour it into the water tank." Liang's father pointed to the water tank not far away and said.
Liang Xiaoying took a look and got angry instantly. There was still half a tank of water in the water tank. Looking at the wet floor around, she knew that Liang's father had drawn water in before.
The house they lived in was built by Liang's father and mother when they were young. There was a well in the old house, and everyone used the well water.
But the well water has to be drawn up with buckets. Filling the water tank can be used for two or three days.
The water tank is made of solid wood and has not broken for decades, but it is not light when filled with water, not to mention moving it back and forth.
"Why do you have to fill this water tank? Where are my eldest brother and his family?"
"They went to discuss the marriage with the girl." Liang's father smiled, obviously knowing that Liang Xingping was going to get married, and he was very happy.
Hearing this, Liang Xiaoying's face froze.
"Dad, do you know who Pingxing's partner is?"
"They didn't tell me. I asked the eldest brother, and he said he would tell us after the marriage was settled."
The mother and daughter looked at each other, really not knowing what to say. Unexpectedly ,
the eldest uncle also kept it a secret. If he really agreed to Liang Pingxing's marriage, how should he explain it to him?
Just as they were talking, the eldest uncle's family of three came in. Judging from the faces of the eldest uncle and the eldest cousin, the marriage negotiations probably didn't go smoothly.
"Bah! What a joke, isn't it? He just relies on his family to have some money. Who cares? He thinks that money-loser in his family is a gold nugget..."
"Stop talking!"
As soon as the eldest aunt came in, she couldn't help but swear, but the volume was much lower than before.
I guess she was afraid that someone would hear it and get to the girl's ears, and then there would be no room for negotiation.
Before she could say a few words, the eldest uncle looked up and saw Cui Xue and her daughter standing in the yard, and scolded her with a stern face.
Just as she was about to refute, the eldest aunt also saw them.
"Oh, I was wondering why nothing went well today. It turns out that some unlucky star has come to our house."
With new grudges and old grudges, the aunt didn't treat them well and her words were even more unpleasant.
Liang Xiaoying looked unhappy, but she still endured it and turned her head away, pretending that she didn't see or hear anything.
"You came back so soon? How is Pingxing's marriage? Is it settled?" Liang's father glanced at Liang Xiaoying and smiled awkwardly to smooth things over.
It would have been better if he didn't ask. When he asked, the father and son looked even worse.
Liang Pingxing didn't say anything and went back to his room with a dark face without even saying hello.
He slammed the door when he closed it. You can tell that he was in a bad mood without asking.
The aunt wanted to scold her, but her face froze at the sound of the door slamming.
The eldest cousin is her only son and has been spoiled since he was young. This time the marriage did not go as he wished, and I am afraid that both he and his wife will suffer.
Cui Xue saw this and didn't want to stay any longer. She and Liang Xiaoying helped grandpa fill the water tank with water, looked at grandma again, and then left in a hurry.
But before leaving, Liang Xiaoying told the two elders not to interfere with the eldest cousin's marriage.
After getting the response from the two, she still left worriedly. When they
returned to the third uncle's house, Cui Yingxiong was already waiting for them. He originally wanted to go to the eldest uncle's house to see his grandparents.
But just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by the fourth cousin who came back. Knowing that he was going to the eldest uncle's house, he directly pressed him in the yard and said that it was not convenient to go at this time, and asked him to stay well and not to cause trouble.
Cui Yingxiong didn't understand, but he was obedient. In the end, he sat in the yard and chatted with the sixth cousin while waiting for his mother and sister.
