After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

After An Niang left, Yun Tao looked at these water spinach. Now that the family has no shortage of oil, they can pick and grow them for themselves. If they sell them, everyone can grow them. By then, they will be worthless, so there is no point in growing them. It is better to grow them for yourself. It is also a good choice to feed chickens and ducks.

"Daniu, go with Erniu to the river to pick some water spinach. We can stir-fry it and eat it ourselves. We can feed the leftovers to the ducks and chickens."

Sanniu: "Mom, this dish is not delicious."

"Don't worry, it will definitely taste good when cooked by mom. Don't worry about whether it tastes good or not. Just bring it back. Just bring a basket full. If it's left for too long, it won't be fresh and the leaves will turn yellow quickly."

There are many rivers in the village. The largest river is the Xiaoxi River at the end of the village. Although its name is not impressive enough, it can flood the entire village when the water is raised.

"Brother, why did you come to this river? I always feel unsafe here. The river flow here is too strong. It is very dangerous. It is also the place where accidents are easy to happen."

Erniu, I want to see if I can catch some fish. We haven't eaten fish for a long time. Besides, the fish in the river don't cost money. How great is that, right?"

Erniu was talking while touching the fish, while Daniu was looking at the peach blossoms on the other side of the river.

Taohua looks to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, which is enough to get married in the village.

Taohua lived up to her name, with an oval face and a few freckles on her nose. She had big eyes and double eyelids, and long black hair that was braided and hung on her shoulders. She was wearing a loose, worn-out blue cloth dress that had turned white from washing, and it was obvious that the dress didn't fit her.

Erniu talked for a long time, but saw that his brother didn't respond at all. He was confused and looked up at his brother.

It would have been fine if I hadn't looked, but when I did, I was shocked to see my brother Daniu staring at Taohua infatuatedly. His eyes were almost glued to her, and not only that, his face was smiling as brightly as a flower, and he looked infatuated and silly.

Erniu looked at Daniu, and Daniu looked at Taohua. Fortunately, there were only three of them at the time, otherwise if others saw them, they would probably gossip about them.

Taohua looked at Daniu and immediately turned her head away. She thought to herself, he looks so poor. Even though his family is doing business now and their living conditions are much better, they still live in a thatched house with three brothers and an old mother.

Taohua glanced at Daniu, then immediately turned around and started working.

After a while, Taohua left. Erniu looked at Daniu, who was still staring at Taohua's receding figure.

"Brother, you like Sister Taohua."

Da Niu saw his younger brother Er Niu coming up to him and said these words.

"Erniu, please don't talk nonsense. A girl's reputation is very important. If outsiders find out, there might be rumors."

"Brother, what's the big deal? Sister Taohua is old enough to get married. Even if you don't marry her, she will marry someone else. Girls will get married sooner or later."

"Erniu, don't you know what our family's conditions are like? Mother doesn't have any money at all. She spent a lot of money on treating our legs. Besides, we live in a thatched hut. We don't even have a decent house. Who would be willing to marry their daughter to our family?"

Erniu didn't say anything when he heard this. After finishing their work, the two of them went straight home.

When Da Niu got home, he was absent-minded, and Er Niu saw it.

After dinner, the family of four lay in bed. Yun Tao was still calculating how much money was left at home and what their daily life would be like when she heard someone come in.

"Mom, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel. I've been thinking about it for a long time. I'd better tell you. I'm afraid that I will affect my brother's happiness for the rest of his life."

Yun Tao looked at Er Niu, "What's the matter? You seem to be in a serious condition."

"Mom, when we were cooking this afternoon, we saw peach blossoms by the river."

"Taohua, Yuntao carefully recalled this person in her mind. She couldn't remember him for a while, but she felt very familiar with him."

Peach blossom.

"Erniu, who is Taohua? Mother can't remember her for a moment, but she has heard of this name."

"Mom, she lives in the east end of the village. She has six younger sisters and one younger brother. Her mother is a cripple and her father is blind. You can't say she is blind, because she still has one eye that can see. But the vision of the other eye is not very good."

"Erniu, you are talking about the old Zhao family, the one in the rotten thatched house at the east end of the village. Her mother likes to take money from others. She is the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong, and she also likes to gossip."

"Mother Taohua is not tall, but she is thin and dark, with freckles all over her face. Although her father is blind in one eye, he is tall and strong."

"Yes, mother, it is her home."

Yun Tao looked at Erniu, "Erniu, are you sure your eldest brother likes her? Not only is her family burdened with heavy responsibilities, her parents are not easy to deal with, and if anyone marries a girl from her family, it will be a bottomless pit. Because he has to help the youngest brother and support the two old people."

"Unless the family is really well-off, and such families usually ask for a high bride price."

"Mom, are you worried about the money?"

"Yes, in this case, the bride price is high, and our family may not be able to afford it."

"Erniu, go back to sleep first. Mom will ask your eldest brother tomorrow to see what he thinks."
