Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

"We are not country folks like you. We in the Wei family are the most reasonable. Okay, I won't talk to you, little girl. I'm telling you, her Ma family, we are not outsiders. It's like we are bullying you."

Wei Mengwei fanned the flames, "Mom, you are a big shot, don't bother with them. I say, it's okay, we are already like this, if you don't marry me, who else can you marry? Besides, my family has given a lot, and it's all done according to your family's requirements. Why don't you know what's good for you?"

Every time Wei Mengwei said something, Ma Dasao took a deep breath, and it was obvious that she was furious. Yinping burst into tears and hugged her mother tightly, looking like she was about to faint from anger.

Yang Qingqing watched, but he didn't get to the point for a long time. But it was obvious that everyone around him seemed to know it.

They all pointed fingers at the Ma family mother and daughter, saying, "This must be another family that is not satisfied and wants more."

"Of course. I don't think this is marrying off a daughter. This is selling her."

"Really? I thought they were pitiful mother and daughter, but it turns out they are not good people."

Yang Qingqing was even more shocked when she heard this. If she didn't explain it clearly, Yinping's reputation would be ruined, and the Ma family's reputation would also be ruined.

She had just heard some of it, and combined with what her second sister-in-law had said before, she could only rely on her own guesses and her understanding of the Ma family.

"I say, you are really good at confusing right and wrong. The truth in this world, if you just talk about it, it will all come down to you, right?

"You have met all the conditions you mentioned. What have you met? Do you know what they want? If you see someone you like on the street, you can make him yours just by talking."

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by just any person on the street? Tell me if their surname is Ma and if their family is from Majiawan. We agreed before that her dowry should be similar to that of her aunt, and our family also put in a lot of effort, but after careful inquiry, we found out that her aunt only spent ten kilograms of cornmeal and five yuan on her wedding.

Now our family is willing to give 50 kilograms of noodles, plus 50 yuan. This is not more than her aunt, but it is not bad compared to others. "

Yang Qingqing felt something was wrong, so she looked down at the mother and daughter sitting on the ground. Both of them looked confused.

Yang Qingqing had clearly heard from her second sister-in-law that she had come up with the conditions for marrying her second brother in order to scare away this family.

How did this happen now? It seems that the Ma family doesn't know about it.

Yang Qingqing didn't care about anything else now. He was justified but still strong. He had to give people a sense of deterrence so that the onlookers and the people in the Revolutionary Committee would think that what he said was true and that the Wei family was spreading rumors.

"Don't talk nonsense! We are not stupid, what's the matter? The daughter of our Ma family can't get married, and we have to pay for it! Ah! My eldest sister-in-law's family, let alone other things, just for a daughter, the dowry prepared is more than what you said. Let alone other things, everyone in our Majiawan knows that Yinping is the treasure in the hands of the couple. Even their son can't compare to her. The starting dowry is a bicycle, for fear that it will be inconvenient for the daughter to go back to her parents' home in the future."

After Yang Qingqing finished speaking, everyone around her widened their eyes in disbelief.

Not to mention others, even Yinping herself didn't believe it. How could she not know that her parents were so nice and rich? Besides, she had a younger brother, Jianfang, as well as older and younger brothers, and her mother's favorite grandson. How could she not be the one to buy a bicycle?

But now she clearly knows that Aunt Qingqing is helping her. She has not married yet and her reputation cannot be ruined. If her reputation is ruined, she will probably have no choice but to die.

Ma's eldest sister-in-law was also shocked, but she knew better than to say anything else, wait until this hurdle is over before talking about it.

So she also said, "Yes, my sister is right. Our family requires that the gift cannot be lower than the dowry. How could we make such a request as you said? That is all outdated news from many years ago."
