Chapter 17 The Bold Girl
Sun Meifeng saw that her son was feeling depressed these days because of his failed marriage. Then the girl came to her door and said that she was willing to marry him. Her face was not happy either.
If you were willing, why did you make such a fuss at that time?
She insisted that she would not marry him unless the marriage was changed.
And her eldest brother is also mentally ill. He originally agreed to let her daughter Xiaohua marry him, but he turned around and fell in love with Xiaocao from the second wife. After all, if it weren't for the Tao family, would so many things have happened?
Separation of the family was a good thing for Zhao Chunxia, but not for her.
Sun Meifeng became furious when she thought that her parents-in-law were no longer willing to cook for her family in private.
It was so good before. Whenever there was any problem, she could rely on her eldest son to push the work to the second son's family. Now the mother-in-law doesn't care about them at all, and she can't expect her daughter to do it all. Sun Meifeng has to do it herself.
Looking at the girl from the Tao family again, Sun Meifeng was extremely angry and felt that the Tao family was making a fool of them.
Tao Ye Zi didn't expect that things would suddenly turn out like this.
It’s clearly all based on the previous life.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty. The dowry she wanted in this life was indeed a little more than in her previous life.
But for Zhou Jianguo, who will become the richest man in the future, these are nothing.
They were going to get married anyway, she just wanted to make her life more glorious.
She was afraid that it was because of this little change in her that things turned out like this.
Moreover, she went to live with her cousin in the commune for a few days. In just these few days, so many things happened at home.
When Tao Yezi found out her marriage was over, she felt like the sky was falling.
Didn’t she just ask for twenty more dollars in betrothal gift?
Tao Ye Zi felt even more guilty when she thought that the money was taken away by Zhou Jianguo's grandmother before the Zhou family had even given it.
When she heard that Zhou Jianguo and his family had separated, she became even more panicked. She felt that this change was brought about by her rebirth.
Therefore, she must hold on tightly to Zhou Jianguo, the future richest man, and absolutely cannot let herself end up like in her previous life.
She cried and looked at Sun Meifeng, her mother-in-law in her previous life, "Mom, this is something wrong in my family. Don't be angry. I will definitely persuade my parents when I go back."
Zhao Chunxia twisted her lips and said, "What are you trying to persuade me to do? Didn't your family say that you won't get married unless your brother gets married? I can tell you that my Xiaocao will never go to your family to marry in exchange for marriage. You're calling me mom too early."
Tao Ye Zi didn't dare to say anything to Zhao Chunxia on the surface, but she was annoyed with them in her heart.
It's a good idea to split up the family. When the country becomes prosperous in the future, the second branch won't be able to get any benefits from it.
Of course, since they had separated, she naturally didn't have to care about Zhao Chunxia.
She just looked at Zhou Jianguo and cried.
"Build a nation, build a nation."
Ma Erya was also there watching the fun. She also looked down on Tao Yezi's appearance. She was even disgusted with her in her heart, thinking that her crying scenes were not good and looked fake.
There is a skill to crying. If she were to cry, she would make Jianguo so worried that he would not be able to eat for three days.
However, Ma Erya was not so kind as to give Tao Yezi some advice. Since they were not related to her in any way, why should she help her? Ma Erya just stood there with her hands in her pockets and watched the fun, shaking her head in disdain.
The members of the brigade also came over to watch the fun. These days, anything new would be talked about for a long time.
Especially for an unmarried girl these days, this is the second one who is so bold.
The first one is of course Zhou Xian, the director of the Women's Federation of their brigade, who is a powerful figure who can kill wild boars.
Of course, Tao Ye Zi was definitely the first girl they had ever seen who was bold enough to run to the man’s house and say that she would not marry anyone else.
In their opinion, girls should be more reserved. They would not marry such a bold girl.
However, when Tao Yezi said that she would bring a dowry of fifty yuan, everyone's eyes widened.
In addition, the bride price will not be so much anymore. Tao Yezi even asked for less than in her previous life. She cannot allow any changes in her marriage with Zhou Jianguo. As long as she can marry him, everything else is secondary.
Sun Meifeng was tempted, because that was fifty dollars.
"Can you make the decision?" Sun Meifeng asked tentatively.
"Yes." No matter if she could or not, she had to say yes.
"Okay then. Only if you keep your word, I will let Jianguo marry you." Sun Meifeng smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed.
She didn't expect that her silly son had this ability. He had charmed this little girl so much that she was willing to move into her house. It would be a waste not to accept this opportunity.
After making sure that her future mother-in-law, Sun Meifeng, agreed, Tao Yezi hurried home.
She was afraid that something unexpected would happen again, so she had to go home and settle the matter as soon as possible.
She must marry Zhou Jianguo in this life.
The Tao family naturally disagreed.
There isn't a single good person in the Zhou family. They had clearly agreed to exchange marriages for the two families. What was originally a happy thing for the two families has now gone wrong. Not only that, but old lady Ma is so rude that she put a knife to her own neck and extorted money from them.
Tao Dashan looked at his daughter and couldn't understand it. Didn't his daughter dislike that family?
When the two families first started talking about marriage, the daughter was not very happy about it and didn't think much of Zhou Jianguo.
If the marriage arranged by her aunt in the commune had not failed, she would not have been able to go to the Zhou family.
How come it suddenly changed after coming back?
Wu Hongmei was even more unhappy. "Why do you have to marry her? And you even want to bring a fifty-yuan dowry. You didn't see the face of Ma Erya that day. Girl, even if you marry her, she won't let you have an easy life."
They tried to persuade her earnestly, but Tao Ye Zi was not in a position to listen.
She wanted to marry Zhou Jianguo and become the wife of the richest man in the future.
"They have all separated, and that old woman can't control me."
Tao Ye Zi didn't remember clearly about the Zhou family's affairs in her previous life. She didn't care much about the Zhou family and naturally didn't pay attention to the Zhou family's affairs. But in her memory, that group of people were indeed not easy to get along with.
But none of this matters now. The most important thing now is that she has to get married.
But her parents were determined to obstruct her, which made her anxious. She didn't dare to tell them directly about her rebirth, so she lied and said that she had a dream, in which Zhou Jianguo became the richest man in the county.
This was too surprising and the Tao family didn't believe it at all.
Tao Ye Zi bit her lip and thought for a while, then mentioned a few things that would be discovered in the future, so that they could see for themselves whether what she said was true or not.
The Tao couple listened to their daughter's words with doubt, wanting to believe it but not daring to.
Everything will be relaxed in the future and will not be so strictly controlled. As long as you have some skills, you can go out and do business, and many people will become rich.
Then Zhou Jianguo will become the richest man in the future and be very rich.
The Tao couple didn't sleep well that night, and they had no energy to go to work the next day.
But they didn't dare say this casually. If someone heard it, they would be arrested and paraded through the streets for criticism.
There's no such thing as superstitious things nowadays.
At least not on the surface.
There weren't many entertainment activities in the Taohua Brigade these days, so when what happened in Ma Erya's family happened, everyone was talking about it for a while.
Tao Yezi's action once again made Ma Erya's family the focus of the Taohua Team.
Some people also asked Zhou Jianguo for advice on how to make a girl fall in love with him and still bring a dowry of fifty yuan.
Zhou Jianguo was so scared that he didn't dare to go out.
Judging from the looks of it, unless the next big thing comes out, people will change the subject, otherwise this matter will have to be talked about until after the New Year.
Even Comrade Ge Guifen was mumbling at home.
No one understood what Tao Yezi was thinking. After all, they were not familiar with the place and were not from their Taohua Brigade.
I just didn't realize that Ma Erya had the ability to get money from the Tao family.
As she was talking, Ge Guifen slapped her thigh and said, "I was wondering how that person could act so well. She used to sing in a troupe. I heard that her father was also in the troupe."
"What kind of opera?" Zhou Xian asked casually.
Ge Guifen said excitedly, "As for Ma Erya, I heard that her father was an opera singer in the troupe. He was a great singer. In the past, even the landlords couldn't invite him. Only the capitalists could watch his performances. Some people even threw money at the stage. Later, the world became chaotic and her father died. I don't know how she came to our brigade and settled here. No wonder she is so eloquent and cries like she sings. It turns out she is just like her roots."
Wu Xiufang couldn't help but ask, "Who is her mother then?"
"Who knows? I've never heard her mention it. I'm afraid she herself doesn't even know who her mother is." Ge Guifen said with a crooked mouth.
Before, someone had asked Ma Erya who her biological mother was. Ma Erya only said that her mother was dead after giving birth to her.
When Ma Erya first came to their team, she always talked about how her father used to be. At that time, someone even started to make a fuss, saying that her father could sing opera and asked her to sing a piece. Ma Erya kept silent and never mentioned her father again afterwards.
After a long time, everyone in the team just thought she was bragging.
Zhou Jiefang said, "She said all of this herself, and I don't know if it's true or not."
Zhou Jiefang had some impression of Ma Erya, who had just arrived at their team. She was dirty and her face was covered with mud. What impressed him most was that she could recognize a few words.
A kind aunt in the brigade cleaned her up. She turned out to be a pretty girl.
Later, she settled down in the brigade, and someone introduced her to Zhou Sangen.
What about her father being in the opera troupe was something Ma Erya herself told later, and she never mentions it again now.
Recently the team has been busy with things related to Ma Erya. When this matter was suddenly brought up, it felt like it happened a long time ago.
Just treat it as a story, and no one cares whether those things are true or not.
Zhou Xian gave Ma Erya ideological education for a few days and was surprised to find that this old lady was indeed capable and she could actually read.
Moreover, she knows quite a lot of words. It is no exaggeration to say that she probably knows more words than those cadres in the brigade.
Seeing that Zhou Xian had discovered it, Ma Erya simply stopped pretending, "What's the big deal? My father taught me how to read when I was a child, and even asked me to read the newspaper to him."
As she spoke, Ma Erya couldn't help but feel emotional.
Although he is called her father, he is not her biological father. For the sake of her younger brother, her biological parents sold her to a drama troupe to do odd jobs when she was only five years old.
After suffering a lot of losses, she became more tactful and learned how to speak sweetly. There was a man in the troupe who was very good at singing, so she called him "Dad".
Facts proved that she was not fawning on the wrong person. That man was the mainstay of the opera troupe. Following him, she could be considered to have a good life.
When she was little, she envied her stepfather who sang on the stage, and she secretly learned it. Later, she was discovered by the owner of the troupe, who stopped her from learning and beat her up, saying that girls were not qualified to sing on the stage.
But her cheap father would occasionally teach her a few words.
Later, her stepfather died, the opera troupe was gone, and all the valuables were stolen, so she fled to the Peach Blossom Team.
When people asked her what her name was, she had long forgotten her biological parents' names. She only remembered that her stepfather's surname was Ma and he called her the second girl.
She said her name was Ma Erya.
