"What's forgotten? Forget about studying?" Lin Qingping asked.
The second sister was so shocked by her question that she didn't dare to speak and just buried her head even lower.
Lin Qingping knew her second sister's personality. She was indeed a little weak, otherwise she would not have been bullied so badly in her previous life.
"It's no use reading it..." the second sister said timidly in a low voice.
Lin Qingping understood, "Is that what mother said? There is no point for girls to study? They have to get married anyway."
The second sister was silent for a while, indicating her agreement, and said, "Besides, there's no way I can pass the exam."
Lin Qingping understood her second sister's psychology too well. If she had not been reborn, and someone told her that she could go to college, she would also think it was a fantasy.
"Girls, why should you read books? You will get married anyway, so just knowing a few words is enough!"
"You want to go to college, are you a toad wanting to eat swan meat?"
This is the idea in Gujia Village, or in more rural areas.
"Zhao Di!" Her mother suddenly shouted.
Then he ran over in a hurry and found Lin Qingping.
"Hey, why is it that someone who is so out of our reach is here? Be careful or you might get your feet dirty on our ground!" her mother said sarcastically.
However, her mother was obviously in a hurry. She didn't even wait for Lin Qingping to argue with her. She dragged her second sister home and scolded her, "How did you get yourself into this state? Go back and clean yourself up! How can you face others like this?"
During the struggle, the bag in Zhaodi's arms opened, revealing the red coat inside.
Her mother pulled it out and asked, "Did your sister buy it for you?"
"Um."
"Your sister has finally done something human this time! Change it up when you get home!"
Lin Qingping keenly felt that her mother was abnormal. She didn't complain that her mother only bought things for her second younger sister and not for her third younger brother, and she even asked her second younger sister to dress up?
Don't make the signal too obvious!
She followed immediately.
When I arrived at the house, there was indeed someone sitting there - Aunt Lu Zi from Linjia Village, a famous matchmaker in Linjia Village.
It was her in the previous life! She praised the Hu family from another village to the skies and coaxed her mother into agreeing to the marriage. Of course, the most important thing was the 500 yuan betrothal gift.
500 yuan is a huge sum of money in that era. Her mother didn't even think about what kind of family would spend so much money to marry into the Lin family, a poor family with nothing. There is obviously a trap!
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a scam or not. Her mother doesn’t care at all. She only cares about the 500 yuan.
As soon as the three of them arrived home, her mother pushed Zhaodi to wash her face and change clothes, and then sat down with Aunt Luzi with a smile on her face.
"You know, our Zhaodi is a hardworking girl in the whole village. She is good at farming and can work harder than men! She is also honest and obedient! As for her looks, I am not bragging, my daughter Wu Axiu is the best in the whole village. Look at our Pingzi, she is so pretty. Zhaodi got tanned doing farm work in the summer, and turned white in the winter!"
Lin Qingping felt it was ironic when she heard her mother praising her second sister.
Hardworking, good at work, honest and obedient, beautiful...
These so-called good qualities are either to serve others or to please others.
Aunt Lu continued, "How could I not know this? I made this trip because I knew the girl was good, right? They have already made the decision and chose Zhaodi! The betrothal gift, this amount."
Aunt Lu Zi held out five fingers.
"Five...fifty?"
Lin Qingping saw the joy in her mother's eyes, so she could sell her second sister for fifty yuan, right? If she knew it was five hundred yuan, wouldn't her mother be so happy?
As expected, Aunt Luzi looked very proud and shook her head like a rattle, "What 50? It's five hundred!"
"Five hundred!" Lin Qingping's mother Wu Aixiu jumped up, unable to believe her ears, her voice trembling.
Seeing her mother so excited, Lin Qingping was really afraid that she would faint, so she had to pour cold water on her mother, "Is there something wrong with the man? Why is he offering so much as a betrothal gift?"
Wu Axiu almost jumped over and slapped her, "Shut up! Why are you interrupting when adults are talking?" Then she smiled at the matchmaker, "Aunt Lu Zi, please tell me more details."
Anyway, Lin Qingping saw it clearly. Whether she said it or not, her mother had already made up her mind. Even if the other party was an old man or a paraplegic, as long as he was still breathing, her mother would let her second sister marry him.
Aunt Lu Zi was a little embarrassed, but she immediately regained her spirits. "Don't worry, I'm a very honest matchmaker. I won't try to be secretive. This is the most basic requirement for a matchmaker, right? Well... the man is a little old, 30 years old..."
When Wu Ah Xiu heard the number 30, she was relieved. She was really ready for 60...
"My legs and feet are a little inconvenient..." Aunt Lu Zi sent out information bit by bit.
"Is... how inconvenient?" Wu A Xiu asked tentatively: Is he really a paraplegic?
"I got injured two years ago, and it's hard for me to walk. One side is higher than the other, and it doesn't look good."
Wu Ah Xiu slapped her thigh and said, "What inconvenience is this?"
Indeed, compared to the paralytic...
"And one last thing..." Aunt Lu Zi added, "This is a second marriage. He already had a wife, but no children! If Zhaodi marries him and gets pregnant, she can have a baby of her own, and it won't be much different from a first marriage!"
"This is really..." Wu Axiu's eyes lit up. What a great marriage!
Lin Qingping could only pour cold water on him again, "Aunt Lu Zi, where is his previous wife?"
“Dead!”
Lin Qingping asked again, "How did he die?"
"Well..." Aunt Lu Zi hesitated, "He died of illness."
"Really?" Lin Qingping stopped playing along with them. "I heard that this cripple beat people up every other day, beating them half to death, and the people couldn't stand it anymore and jumped into the river."
"This...don't talk nonsense!" Aunt Lu Zi's face changed.
Lin Qingping sneered, "Aunt Lu Zi, you know best whether I said anything wrong or not. You want to be a matchmaker like this? Aren't you afraid that this matchmaker will not be able to sleep at night after taking the money?"
"Bah!" Aunt Lu Zi was so angry that she wanted to leave. "I came here because I think highly of your family! Ah Xiu, your girl has such a vicious mouth, I can't afford to offend her. Dear, I'd better not say anything. I'm putting it here. From now on, I will no longer care about your Zhaodi's affairs!"
Wu Ah Xiu was even more anxious. She went forward and pulled Aunt Lu Zi, saying, "Don't go! Don't go!"
Lin Qingping sneered again, "I'm going to make this clear today. If anyone dares to come to my house and tell Zhaodi about these unreliable relatives, and push Zhaodi into the fire pit, don't blame me for beating him out with a big broom!"
Lin Qingping said this and seriously picked up the broom and started waving it.
Aunt Luzi was so angry that she ran away while jumping up and down and cursing.
Wu Axiu turned around and slapped Lin Qingping.
