Zhao Da didn't stay at home for dinner. After he came to his senses, he took Wang away. Passing by the bamboo forest in the village, he stopped and looked at Wang for a long time without saying a word.
Wang felt uneasy when he looked at her. What should she do? Are you planning to beat her up on the way or kill her and dump her body?
"At home, Ruxin should marry me and become my concubine, otherwise our two sons won't be able to continue their studies."
Wang knew that what he said was true. Studying was indeed too expensive.
"I'll go back and discuss it with her." If she doesn't want to, you can't force her, right?
"Well, if Ruxin is willing, we promise her that we will redeem her as soon as her family is in trouble, and we will never let her die in the backyard."
Wang nodded.
Zhao Da said seriously, "You should persuade her and make her agree. Otherwise, she will have no choice but to go to the fields to farm."
Wang didn't know what to say, she just felt very depressed.
Why is everything going wrong in their family?
"Master, let's go to the temple to pray today. Maybe it's been too long since we burned incense, and our family has been too unlucky." No one in the village wants to marry an unlucky daughter.
"Okay, just pray sincerely." It was so unlucky and weird, it was like seeing a ghost.
Both of them felt so tired just walking, it was so discouraging.
"Mom, what did the village chief's family say? When will they come to propose marriage, and how much will be the betrothal gift for us?" Wang had just entered the house and had no time to rest her feet or drink some water before she was pulled into Zhao Ruxin's room.
Mrs. Wang wanted to cry, she felt sorry for her daughter.
"Ruxin, listen to what mother says..."
"You say!" There was anticipation in her eyes. If she married down, the betrothal gift should not be small. At least, it should be higher than being a concubine, right?
"They refused, saying they were not worthy of you." After saying this, Wang covered her mouth and burst into tears.
Her daughter is so pitiful. How could they treat her like this? She is only 15 years old and she has to marry an old man. What will she do in the future?
"Why don't they agree? How have I made them unhappy?" Zhao Ruxin stood up suddenly, her whole face distorted with anger.
Even the country folk were unwilling to marry her, which made her feel more embarrassed than ever before. Is she not as good as those country girls?
"They are blind and have no vision, bah! They look down on you, but you look down on them."
That's right, what mother said was right. She must marry someone older to slap them in the face.
"Mom, I want to marry in the city and never in the countryside. Can you help me find a few more matchmakers and ask around?" Zhao Ruxin cried and pulled Wang's sleeve, crying angrily.
Wang was embarrassed, "We have already found a wife, Ruxin, and we can't get married in the county town."
She begged for help and pulled Wang along, her eyes full of despair. "Is it not possible for an ordinary family? I am the daughter of a scholar!"
"Ruxin, my ex-mother told you..."
"No, I will never be a concubine. Do you know what being a concubine means? If I'm a concubine, I'm just a slave. Not only do I have no freedom, but I can't even raise my own children. They can only call me aunt. Mother, if I become a concubine, I really will have no way to survive." Zhao Ruxin cried even more miserably. How could her mother say that she should be a concubine?
"What else can we do? Are you just going to wait till you become an old maid?"
"Just keep looking, I'll be able to get married eventually." She felt very sad. It was said that young women would never have trouble finding a husband, so why was it so difficult for her?
"Ruxin, Xiaoyu is engaged."
"What? She's engaged?" Doesn't this feel like a knife cutting into her heart? It was extremely difficult for her to find a suitable family, but her cousin who was two years younger than her was engaged. God, please open your eyes and give her some chance to live!
"Who is it for?"
"The one who lives in the shabby house next to theirs and goes hunting."
What?
Zhao Ruxin widened her eyes and looked at her mother in disbelief.
"She is destined to that man? Doesn't Third Uncle treat her like a treasure?"
"No matter how precious she is, she is still just a girl. That man is a live-in son-in-law. Your uncle wants to keep Xiaoyu in the family to inherit the family line. From now on, Xiaoyu will be the head of their family, and the baby she gives birth to will have the surname Zhao."
Men might not like the idea of a live-in wife, but Wang also wanted to make it clear on the way that Zhao Dashu was reluctant to let his daughter get married and suffer, so finding a live-in wife would mean she wouldn't have to leave them.
Their family has money now, and will not be short of it in the future. Xiaoyu will inherit the family business and will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
A mother always has long-term plans for her children. To be honest, Zhao Dashu is more responsible than Zhao Daxu, and he is kinder to his children and the Song family as well.
"Haha, I didn't expect that she would find such a person in the end." Zhao Ruxin's face was full of disdain.
Wang didn't explain to her daughter how this would affect Zhao Xiaoyu, fearing that she wouldn't be able to bear it. From now on, Zhao Xiaoyu won't have to look at anyone's face, she is truly the head of the family. The third son was going to leave the family business to her. What could a woman with the power of housekeeping and money need?
Among the sisters, she was the most unrestrained one.
As for the hunter, so what? People rely on packaging. After eating and wearing fancy clothes for a few years, their temperament will improve. I heard that he went to school with the third brother. From what I remember, he looked okay. If you keep it this way, it will definitely not be any different.
Her current trouble is her own daughter. The head of the family intends to make her a concubine, but she is unwilling. In the end, the two of them will definitely have a big fight. If the old house hears the news, both he and the head of the family will be finished!
How should she persuade her daughter?
On the other side, Old Man Zhao once again reminded Zhao Dayong to pay attention to Ru Xin's affairs and tell him immediately if there is anything appropriate.
Zhao Dayong nodded. Dayong, it will certainly not be difficult to find a marriage with the title of scholar. It’s hard to find in the village, including their own Zhaodi. They must be the third child, and no one wants to get too close to them.
The third child had no influence on them at all, but now their children feel greatly influenced by him.
Zhao Dayong didn’t know whether he should be happy or cry to have such a brother?
"What?"
As soon as Wang returned to the room, Zhao Da asked immediately. I was so tired from the journey that I didn't even have any money to ask for.
"She refused and wanted to continue looking for a matchmaker. Master, I think this is a risky matter. If my father-in-law knew, he would separate us. No matter how poor the families in our village are, they don't want concubines."
Zhao Da didn't say anything and avoided Wang's eyes, so she knew that he was also afraid of the old man.
He is a coward, but he still does it. He is also a despicable person.
