"I don't want to, I don't want to go to the village, I don't want to go to the fields to farm!" Zhao Ruxin reacted strongly, she really didn't want to go to the village, she didn't want to be a village girl all her life.
"Mom, even ordinary families in the county town can't afford it. Do you think I can farm?"
"In fact, if you can marry into the village chief's family, you don't have to farm. Their family is now with your third uncle, and I heard they are very rich.
You see, even though your third uncle lives in the village, is his life bad? If you can live a life like this, with servants to serve you, a nice house to live in, and good food to eat, it's not impossible to live in the countryside. ”
"Is the village chief really that rich?" Zhao Ruxin was really tired of being poor these days.
"Well, I heard that their family is also going to build a house near your third uncle, and it will be quite large." She heard her father-in-law say this during the Dragon Boat Festival.
"There are several families that are on good terms with your uncle who are now competing for wealth. You won't need to work for any of them in the future. Just buy a few people. The village chief's family is the best, after all, they have some power.
My mother thought that instead of having to please others in the county town, it would be more enjoyable to live in the countryside by showing displeasure to others.
Here you marry into a wealthy family, and ordinary people live about the same as we do now. They have to do all kinds of work except working in the fields, and their lives are very tight. They also look down on you in every way.
In the village, you married down, but your whole family has to praise you, and you can live with your head held high. With your father's scholar status and your third uncle, no one dares to bully you. ”
The most important thing is that they offer low prices, and the betrothal gift will definitely not be small, so the village chief can afford it.
If a girl doesn't become a concubine, she can help out in the future when there is someone at home. If she becomes a concubine, it will be a one-time deal and she will have no future.
The third brother didn't tell his friends that they were relatives, so would the village chief hide it from them?
Zhao Ruxin was tempted. If she could live in Laozhu Village without having to work, eat and drink well, and enjoy the same life as Zhao Xiaoyu, she would be willing to do so.
Zhao Xiaoyu's dress is better than that of many young ladies in the county.
"Mom, talk to Dad about this."
"Okay, I'll tell him when I get home tonight."
Zhao Ruxin was confident that she could marry into a village called Fuliuzhu. Even if she married into Fuliuzhu, the men from decent families in the village would not fight for her hand in marriage.
Wang also felt that she was too smart. She suddenly thought of the village chief. Based on his relationship with the third brother, marrying into his family would be better than marrying into the county town.
In the evening, Zhao Da returned home.
"How about it, my daughter, are you willing to come and be my concubine?"
After receiving the "bride price", he would buy a house and two servants and resume his good days in the past.
Wang shook her head. "Master, what do you think of our village chief? His son can read a few words and is not bad looking. He is about the same age as our Ruxin. Most importantly, the village chief has made a lot of money by dealing with the third brother.
I think it's better than being someone's concubine. If a scholar's daughter becomes an old man's concubine, it will be bad news and will also damage your reputation. What do you think? ”
Of course Zhao Daye knew that being a concubine was not a nice thing. More than that, it was said that he couldn't even hold his head up high in the village or the county town. Otherwise, why would he have been so entangled and hesitant for so long?
However, he was most tempted by money. The money given by the other party really touched his heart.
"Can the village chief give us so much silver?"
How is that possible? Why are you talking in your sleep in broad daylight?
"Even if the village chief can't give us that much money, it's still a long-term investment. Marrying a man as a concubine is a one-time deal. It will be difficult to see him again in the future, and my daughter will lose her freedom.
If I marry into the village chief's family, will he not help us if his family becomes better off? Don’t our son-in-law and daughter-in-law come to visit us during the holidays?
How can we not know what the village chief and the third brother are doing? For example, how do they make money now? ”
