Zhao Lihua woke up and went to find Liu Chunmiao with her things in her arms.
"Where's Dad?"
"He said he forgot to give gifts to some uncles and aunts, and he has to go see your grandfather tomorrow, so he's going to give the gifts now."
"Oh, I was careless too." There were so many people who wanted to give gifts, but actually they didn't buy much. "Mother, go get some cakes and candies for the master. There are elderly people and children at home."
"Take it. Don't you know your father is the best at handling things?"
That’s right, Dad is not a fool.
When Zhao Dashu arrived, the mother and daughter were having dinner. "Already eating, I'm going to the front yard to drink!"
"Dad, drink less. If you get drunk and say something you shouldn't, we'll be done for."
Zhao Dashu shuddered and sobered up immediately, "I understand. I will drink more slowly in the future."
The next day, after saying goodbye to the teacher, they took a coachman and went directly to the Song family. Unexpectedly, just as they arrived, Old Man Zhao came with Zhao Dayong and Erzhuzi.
"Mom, my uncle's family is so rich now. When I get married, will he give me a dowry?"
Li squatted in front of the basin washing beans. "If your second brother can be adopted by him, your dowry will definitely be guaranteed. By the way, are you satisfied with any of the families that mother told you about?"
Zhao Lai Di curled her lips, her eyes full of disdain, "They are all peasants in the village, and the poorest of them only have a brick and tile house. Mother, my second brother is going to become rich with my third uncle, how can I marry a peasant?"
Li sneered, "If you don't want to marry a peasant, you want to marry someone from the city?" What was her daughter talking about in her sleep in broad daylight? Did they know the people from the city? Who would be interested in someone from their village?
"Doesn't Third Uncle have a lot of money? Let him buy me a house in the city as a dowry, then I can marry into the city, right?"
"What are you talking about in your sleep, you dead girl? No matter how rich he is, he is still his own. How can he let us have a bargain? If your brother is adopted by him, he will only try to make him alienated from us.
It is possible to prepare a dowry for you for Erzhuzi's sake, but it is impossible as you think. Stop having such nonsense dreams. Just listen to your mother and choose a good family in the village to marry into. It's really not true. Didn't the matchmaker say that there are a few more in other villages? Do you want to take a look? ”
Zhao Lai Di refused to accept this. "Why can I only marry a peasant? Why can't I get a house as a dowry? You said no without even asking. Did Third Uncle refuse? Mom, you are biased!"
Li was so embarrassed that the little girl was too mean to her. She said, "Shut up. There are only a few families who like you. If you want to marry, you can marry. If you don't, you can cut your hair and become a nun."
It will be bright with a little sunshine. Marriage is decided by parents, what does she have to do with it? Is it enough to give her face and be kind enough to her to let her choose by herself now? What an idiot!
Zhao Laidie was so angry with her mother that she started crying and ran out of her room. Li ignored her and continued washing vegetables.
"mother!"
"Big Pillar! Have you finished weeding the ground?"
Zhao Qingshan threw the hoe to the ground, went into the house without saying anything, and the door closed with a loud bang.
Even the eldest sister knew that she should not marry a peasant, but his parents wanted him to be a peasant for the rest of his life. The second brother will live a good life in the home of the third uncle in the future, and the third brother and his family plan to send him to school tomorrow.
Don't think he didn't know why they followed grandfather out. They were taking Erzhuzi to see Uncle San, while he was weeding in the field.
All his father taught him was how to do farm work. Not only did he have to be a farmer for the rest of his life, but he also had to provide for them in their old age. His parents were so biased.
He doesn't want to be a peasant, absolutely not!
Li looked at the hoe dropped by her eldest son and couldn't help but tear up. She understood her eldest son’s thoughts, but every eldest brother is the one who suffers the most. The opportunity can only be given to one person, what can she do? When Erzhuzi grows up, I will definitely help him.
Just hold on for another ten days, at most, until their son grows up and can take charge of the household, and then their family will be able to get on with its feet.
"You're here? How come so soon?" Is it done so quickly?
"My third brother went to Yue's house, and the whole family is not here."
Old man Zhao snorted a few times and went out to complain to his eldest brother, "What a heartless guy!" Is the Song family really so mean? I just arrived yesterday and today I’m rushing to deliver things. This is a rotten guy who is a traitor to his own people. His fist is really hard.
Especially since the villagers just told him that a young wife from the Mi family who married into Songjia Village said that the Song family was also building a house.
It turned out that everyone was building new houses and making money, but their family got nothing.
Needless to say, the things sent to the Song family today were definitely more than what was given to him yesterday. Song was really capable. She pretended to be an honest person in front of him for a long time, but her true nature was revealed after the family was divided, and she had her son under her control. It turns out that the dog that bites is not good.
It would be more accurate to say that the Song family found a live-in son-in-law rather than marrying off a daughter.
grass!
Old man Zhao had no place to vent his anger, so he kicked the stone in front of him fiercely while walking on the road, but he missed the target and jumped up and down holding his foot, "My toes..."
Damn it, it hurts him so much!
"What's wrong with you? Is your leg hurting?" Patriarch Zhao looked at his limping brother in confusion. Why did he have to come to his house after being injured? What's the big deal?
Since the family split up, the third brother seemed to come to his house more often.
Little did he know that Old Man Zhao had no one to vent his anger on and treated him like a trash can.
Old man Zhao sat down with a grin on his face. "Brother, I just heard..."
…………
"Dad, we're here!"
"The city is here!"
The Song family recently moved into a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village because they were building a new house in their old home. Zhao Dashu didn't see them when he entered the village. The whole family was busy working on the construction site.
"father!"
"Grandpa!"
You could tell at a glance that they were building a house. When they arrived, all the workers on the construction site stopped and looked at their family in curiosity.
They were dressed neatly and cleanly, riding in a horse-drawn carriage, and the whole family did not look like villagers.
"Everyone is here, let's go to the village entrance and talk."
"Dad, you guys are building this house really fast. It's almost finished, right?" He thought it was built faster and bigger than Liu Shunzi's house.
Yue 㫅 is still Yue 㫅, just capable!
"The construction started as soon as the spring plowing was over, and a lot of people were invited, so it will be completed quickly, right? Wait until it's built, and you all come and live here for a while!" The old man stroked his beard and looked at the new house in a good mood.
He worked hard all his life, and in the end, just because of his son-in-law, he finally built a house!
