Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

"That's good, that's good. Little girl, remember that only a few of us know about this place, and we can't tell anyone else, okay? Otherwise, it will be a disaster for your whole family, including you. When you put things away or take things, you must always pay attention to whether there is anyone around. You must be careful, understand?" Grandpa Su suddenly became very serious and said.

"And you are not allowed to let anything slip, especially you, Hu Zi. Children are most likely to let things slip. If others get to know, it will bring disaster to the family. Don't blame me for cleaning up the family." Grandpa Su warned the others sternly that they must make sure to let them know the seriousness of the incident.

"Mom and Dad, we are not such ignorant people, don't worry." Father Su said to Grandpa Su, and the others also nodded heavily.

Then, when they were discussing what to bring, they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Everyone was startled and looked at each other for a while, thinking that someone was eavesdropping outside and they were exposed. But Grandpa Su quickly calmed down and pretended to open the door as if nothing had happened. Only then did they find out that it was Uncle Cheng and his son, and the whole family was relieved.

"Old Cheng, why are you here at this time?" Grandpa Su opened the door and let them in.

After both parties sat down again, Uncle Cheng spoke. "It's like this. Although Fengzi and Xiao's marriage has been decided, the betrothal gift has not been given yet. Isn't this the problem? Nothing can be done, and I don't know when the chaos will end. I thought of paying the betrothal gift first, and if possible, getting married first, so that no one will gossip when we work together."

After that, he took out a cloth bag from his chest pocket, opened it and revealed 18 taels of silver and a silver hairpin. Uncle Cheng said as he opened it. "Although time is a bit tight, we can't treat Xiao girl badly. Sugar, meat and other things are not easy to get at this time, so we'll use silver instead. This silver hairpin was left by your aunt before she died, saying it was for her daughter-in-law, so I'll give it to you as well." Uncle Cheng murmured.

"Is this so urgent? I'm still young." Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed. Although she knew that she was engaged, in this era, there were people who regretted and called off the engagement, but they were very rare.

Even if she knew she would get married in the future, she was still young, wasn't she? Thinking that would be a few years later. No matter how much Su Xiaoxiao wanted to integrate into this era and this family as soon as possible.

But she couldn't remain indifferent to the idea of getting married, after all, Su Xiaoxiao was only 13 or 14 years old. In her previous life, she was over 30 years old and still unmarried. She had only been here for one day and had only met the boy once. They didn't know each other well, and they were going to get married. Su Xiaoxiao was not mentally prepared and instantly lost her composure.

The Su family looked at the silver. In a time when three taels was common and five taels was a good gift to marry a good wife, the eighteen taels and the hairpin were undoubtedly a heavy betrothal gift. But they wanted to get married now, and they had never considered this before. They were also gradually thinking about the possibility of this matter and the pros and cons of whether it would succeed or not!

In this era, girls aged 13 or 14 can get married, but most of them are from families that don’t love their children or are too poor to support them, so marrying them off early can save food. Others usually get married at the age of 15 or 16!

Uncle Cheng saw that no one said anything, so he immediately said: "Fengzi and Xiao girl were raised by our two families, so you can rest assured. If Fengzi bullies Xiao girl or treats her badly in the future, I will beat him to death myself. Getting married now is also a temporary solution, so that it will be convenient for us to do things together in the future. I know what you are worried about. Even if we get married, we will not consummate the marriage first. At least we have to wait until Xiao girl is 15 years old. She is not grown up yet. Xiao girl is like my own daughter, and I can't harm her, right..."

"Grandpa Su, Old Su, please think about it carefully and discuss it. If it is confirmed, we can discuss the wedding date later. In any case, send the betrothal gifts first." After saying this, he was ready to leave. There were still a lot of things to arrange first.

"Wait," Grandpa Su hurriedly stopped them. "Did you bring all the silver in the house?" Grandpa Su asked anxiously. Although he was happy that the generous gift was meant for his granddaughter, he couldn't let her empty her family's savings!

"Of course not. To be honest, I still have more than 40 taels of silver at home. The blind bear that caused my lame leg sold for more than 50 taels. I saved more than 30 taels of silver from hunting and selling prey before. Fengzi's mother used some of it when she was sick, and I still have some left. Don't worry about us. After all, we also need to eat and buy some things. I have enough silver and money. Let's go buy food together when the time comes." Uncle Cheng waved his hand and said.

Grandpa Su vaguely understood what they meant. He was grateful that he had received this opportunity in advance and told them about it. After all, only those who are very blessed can get opportunities from God.

I also knew that everyone needed to buy food, and now that everyone in the village was poor, I was also worried that the Su family didn't have enough money, so I gave them more, and also to make the relationship between the two families more solid. Of course, it was also for convenience!

When they were about to say goodbye and leave, Cheng Feng pulled Su Xiaoxiao aside and whispered a few words. "Xiaoxiao, although getting married as soon as possible is a temporary solution, I also hope to marry you as soon as possible. But all this depends on your wishes. No matter what choice you make, I will treat you well in the future, and you will be the priority in our home in the future. Let's work together to try not to let the things in your dream happen again. Don't worry, everything will be fine, and everything will pass." After saying that, he reached out and touched Su Xiaoxiao's head, and strode out.

After hearing Cheng Feng's words, Su Xiaoxiao's previous panic about getting married calmed down a lot. Su Xiaoxiao knew that the elders in her family were somewhat moved, but they were still mostly worried about her.

The Su family didn't know that the core had been changed, and they all looked at her worriedly. Although I heard Su Xiaoxiao talk about how tragic these things were in her dreams, I could imagine how scared, frightened, and painful Su Xiaoxiao was. But after all, it's not that Su Xiaoxiao herself hasn't seen or experienced it with her own eyes, and I'm more afraid that she will have a shadow.

"Xiao girl, your family won't force you. Everything is based on your wishes. Grandpa knows what you are worried about. Don't be afraid. We are all here and will always be with you! Besides, even if we get married, it won't be so soon. It will be more than a month later. You should think about it carefully and don't be in a hurry. No matter what choice you make, you are your grandparents' good granddaughter and your parents' good daughter. Everyone supports you." Grandpa Su said worriedly.

Su Xiaoxiao saw that the whole family was looking at her worriedly and sighed.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, don't worry. Even though I was afraid that the things in my dream would happen again, and I hated the culprit who harmed our family, the most important thing now is to save our family's lives. Your granddaughter knows the importance of this. As for the marriage, I will think about it carefully."

"I knew that our Xiaoxiao is a good child. Be good, keep these betrothal gifts for yourself. Although it doesn't matter what you have in this extraordinary period, what belongs to you is still yours. Since you need to buy food to escape the natural disaster, you will not be given a dowry. We will give it to you when you survive and your conditions are better. Good child, don't blame grandpa and grandma for being partial. It's also because we don't have the ability." After saying that, Grandpa Su stuffed the cloth bag that Uncle Cheng brought into Su Xiaoxiao's hand.
