Ye Yun couldn't help but ask.
"How old is Guo Lili this year?"
"Who knows how old she is?" Aunt Tian sneered as she kneaded the dough vigorously, "I don't know how Li Xiuying raised her daughter. I don't know what kind of school she went to in town before. She didn't study well, but she learned how to go to bed. She learned how to seduce men at a young age. She even lived in someone else's house before, but Li Xiuying and her men kidnapped her and brought her back. The Guo family has lost all the face they have left. Ugh!"
"If I had a daughter like this, I would really want to stuff her back into my stomach!"
At this point, Aunt Tian looked at Tian Xiaohui, staring at her with a pair of eyes, and said with a warning expression: "Tian Xiaohui, don't learn from her. If you dare to embarrass me, I will peel off your skin!"
Tian Xiaohui couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
She pointed to her nose and asked uncertainly, "Mom, are you talking about me?"
"If it's not you, could it be Zhang San or Li Si on the street?" Aunt Tian looked domineering and glanced meaningfully at her and Zheng Song next to her.
Tian Xiaohui was stunned.
"Eh... No, I didn't do anything. Why are you lecturing me all of a sudden? Do I look like someone who has no sense of propriety? Mom!"
She was really pissed off.
"Don't worry." Zheng Song spoke up at this time, and assured Aunt Tian in a good manner: "Xiao Hui and I have never crossed the line. She is a sensible person, and our relationship is not that good yet."
Tian Xiaohui was also unconvinced and said: "That's right, although I haven't been to school, I understand the truth!"
After going to the city, she opened her eyes a lot and saw many rare things. She still remembered that there was a girl near the pastry shop who was engaged to her boyfriend. When she was about to get married, she found out that she was pregnant. As a result, the man didn't give her a penny for the bride price!
The man said: My family has no money and cannot afford the bride price. Either you marry me or you abandon the child.
The girl had no choice. Even if she aborted the child, her reputation would have been ruined. She could only marry the scumbag with a big belly and without asking for any dowry.
This is still an engagement.
It would have been even worse if we hadn't gotten engaged!
Aunt Tian glanced at Zheng Song with a smile, waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "Xiao Zheng is fine, Xiao Zheng looks like a reliable person, and he wouldn't do that kind of thing!"
Tian Xiaohui: “…”
Her biological mother.
Could it be that she is that kind of person?
Ye Yun's thoughts were still on Guo Lili's age. She gently bumped Qin Zheng's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "I remember that you were only eight years old when you followed Li Xiuying to marry into the Guo family?"
Qin Zheng, who was peeling melon seeds, said: "Almost."
"Then she gave birth to Guo Lili a year later, which means Guo Lili is younger than you... nine years?!"
Ye Yun was surprised when she found out this fact, and couldn't help asking, "How old is she, and she's already eager to get married?"
Qin Zheng paused while peeling melon seeds.
Look at her quietly.
Yunzi, you found the blind spot...
After Ye Yun's reminder, Qin Zheng carefully calculated the time and found that Guo Lili would be exactly eighteen years old after her birthday this year.
But she hasn't had her birthday yet.
Therefore, Guo Lili is not yet 18 years old~
"Who cares?"
He handed the peeled melon seeds in his hand to Ye Yun, clapped his hands, grabbed another handful of melon seeds and continued peeling them.
He doesn't care about other people's mess, especially that of Lao Guo's family.
Ye Yun: “…”
But true.
Although the country has clear laws on the marriage age, 20 years old for women and 22 years old for men, most young people in these mountains get married early, so it has become a common thing for everyone to do so.
Not of legal age?
It doesn’t matter, just don’t get a marriage certificate.
If you really want to get that certificate, there are ways to do it. As long as the age difference is not too big, you can use your connections to have a meal with them, get a letter of introduction, and get a seal, and you can get the marriage certificate.
Nowadays, things are not like the later times. At the marriage registration ceremony, the machines are connected to the national network and your household registration can be checked clearly.
The emperor is far away.
Now it’s just a matter of a piece of paper.
Guo Lili outside seemed to know that Qin Zheng really didn't want to help her. She stood there for a while and left with a pout.
We had dinner at Aunt Tian’s house.
Everyone worked together to cook a table full of dishes. Aunt Tian rolled noodles and cooked a big pot of them. A group of people gathered around the table and ate happily.
Zheng Song ate two bowls directly.
Nowadays, farmers generally cannot bear to eat white flour, and most of them eat steamed corn bread. However, Aunt Tian uses white flour to roll so many noodles, which is enough to show how much she values him.
It is not convenient for Zheng Song to stay overnight.
Originally, Tian Xiaohui's house was not big enough to accommodate her.
After finishing his meal, Zheng Song planned to go back, and Tian Xiaohui and her whole family saw him off at the door.
Zheng Song said, "Then let's put it this way. I will bring my mother to pick you up tomorrow. We will arrive around ten o'clock."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Tian Xiaohui said directly.
Auntie Tian couldn't help but sigh, pushed Tian Xiaohui, and said angrily: "How can you talk like that? You should ask Xiao Zheng to drive slowly on the road. Where's your brain?"
Tian Xiaohui: “…”
No, why has she been scolded since she brought Zheng Song home?
She glanced at Zheng Song with resentment, moved her mouth, and silently uttered a curse: "Brother, please leave quickly!"
Zheng Song couldn't help laughing.
He raised his hand and touched Tian Xiaohui's head, got into Qin Zheng's car and closed the door.
The car gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
The first person to come back to her senses was Auntie Tian. She sighed with mixed feelings, clapped her hands, and said in a voice that sounded a little tired and a little relieved: "Okay, the girl is finally settled now!"
Tian Xiaohui's father also sighed.
Soon, he laughed again, shook his head as if with emotion, said nothing, turned around and followed Aunt Tian into the house.
Both elders returned home, and Tian Xiaohui's brother and sister-in-law also looked at Ye Yun.
"Come in and sit for a while?"
Mrs. Tian said with a smile.
"Anyway, Qin Zheng is going to see Zheng Song off, and he won't be back for a while, so let's discuss the dowry for Xiaohui. You know a lot, so help her arrange it."
Ye Yun declined.
"I don't understand this either. You all know that when I married Qin Zheng, I didn't bring a penny of dowry."
She smiled and looked at Tian Xiaohui.
"Her dowry depends on her wishes. If that doesn't work out, there's still Aunt Tian."
She wouldn't take on such a thankless job.
Tian Xiaohui is a girl who is about to get married, and Tian Saozi is her daughter-in-law. Tian Xiaohui's dowry will directly involve the interests of her sister-in-law. If Tian Xiaohui takes away one more quilt, Tian Saozi will naturally have one less quilt. As an outsider, she cannot interfere in such trivial matters of other people's families.
Tian Xiaohui didn't understand the twists and turns here. Seeing Ye Yun's refusal, she asked, "Sister-in-law, are you tired?"
Ye Yun nodded, "Yeah."
"If you're tired, go take a rest!"
When Qin Xiang'e heard this, she became concerned about the old lady's health and hurried to the yard to help the old lady up who was still sitting in a daze at the door of the main room.
