Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused
Chapter 170: Separation and Escape 8
"Sister Chunya, isn't it said in operas that a life-saving favor earns a lifelong commitment? Brother Xia saved me, so of course I'm thinking of getting engaged. But I wonder if my brother hadn't saved Chunya, would she have been willing to be his wife?"
Chunya's smiling face turned red with embarrassment, and she stomped her feet and ran away.
Xia Ming was exceptionally silent along the way, his face heavy. When he reached a corner, he spoke hesitantly, "A Tao, you don't need to worry about saving my life. I... I don't need anything in return."
Xia Ming likes the little girl and hopes that she will marry him voluntarily instead of being forced to marry someone. As time goes by, he will definitely make A Tao willingly marry him.
"Silly boy, of course I am willing to marry you because I love you. Otherwise, how could I give in with my temper?"
Xu Tao stood on tiptoe and patted the other person's head. It felt particularly good.
Xu Sanniu came home from work... He clutched his chest, feeling heartbroken and having trouble breathing. His family was about to be plundered.
Fang Zhi, with a big smile, warmly invited her future son-in-law to come in and sit down.
It's great that Ah Tao married him. In the future, if she wants to go back to her parents' home, she can go back. After she has escaped from the famine and settled down, she can be her neighbor. If she needs anything, she can just shout and she will be there.
"No, auntie, I have something else to do. I'll come visit you the day after tomorrow."
"What, what does he mean? Why does it have to be the day after tomorrow?"
Xu Sanniu thought about it, but was unwilling to believe it.
Fang Zhi ignored the silly man and was thinking about her eldest son's marriage. It seemed like Nineteen should have gotten married a long time ago, but Chunya had been in mourning for the past few years and couldn't get engaged or discuss marriage. Now that the mourning period was over, they had to hurry and get things done.
However, the Xu family had just been robbed, so arranging a marriage for their son seemed a bit suspicious.
Xu Tao asked about her mother's worries and said with a smile: "Mom, why don't you go back to my grandparents' house? If anyone asks, just say you went back to borrow money. This is a good opportunity to tell my grandparents and get ready."
The thing my mother regretted most in her previous life was that she was not able to escape the famine with my grandfather's family. The news came so quickly that they were unable to make more preparations.
A word woke the dreamer up, and Fang Zhi hugged her daughter and kissed her.
The Fang family gave birth to two sons and a daughter. They treated all the children equally and there was no conflict between the brothers and sisters. She also had a very good relationship with her two sisters-in-law.
"Husband, let's go to my parents' house the day after tomorrow. Let's tidy up the house tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. At least we should have a few presentable pieces of furniture."
"Okay, I'll get some wood tomorrow." Xu Sanniu knew a little bit about carpentry, but he wasn't very proficient at it. He didn't need to buy good wood if he had to flee the famine in three months.
"The second son is sixteen this year and it's almost time for him to get married. It's not easy to skip the eldest son until he's settled down. My daughter is a special case so it's better."
......
The two couples were discussing things in a low voice. The eldest wife of the Xu family was leaning against the corner, shivering, staring at the door, as if a pervert would rush in at the next second.
Xu He could only stare at him, hoping that her uncle and the others would come in quickly to complete the ceremony so she could sleep. As for her parents, she had already been heartbroken and no longer cared.
The old couple couldn't sleep either. Their backs ached from lying on the thatch, and the lingering smell of the toilet made it even harder to fall asleep.
"Old man, why are you so happy to divide the family business today?"
Wu Hua was puzzled. Subconsciously, she believed that unless they died, the family property could not be divided. She had worked hard to become a mother-in-law for many years, and she had not yet controlled the grain for decades. How could it be divided?
After the family split up, those prostitutes wouldn't be willing to listen to her anymore. Besides, they had to live with the eldest wife in their old age, as that was considered an auspicious omen for twins.
"You think I want to divide it? Believe it or not, if I don't satisfy them today, I won't be able to continue studying for my ancestors tomorrow."
Xu Guangzong's biggest obsession in his life was to have a scholar in his family so that he could dampen the arrogance of his elder brother.
Isn't it just that a scholar moved to the town? What's the big deal? In the future, his fourth son will definitely pass the imperial examination and bring honor to him.
Wu Hua still wanted to live with the eldest wife. Although she loved her youngest son, studying was not easy. If her sons had helped her, life would have been easier, but now there were only the two old people and a scholar left. How would they take care of the land?
Thinking about the future, the old lady felt very anxious and stayed awake until dawn.
The eldest wife also stayed up until dawn, and only went back to sleep when she saw that no one had come.
Xu Baoxing looked proud. Zhang Goudan's thing was still useful and it was worth her saliva.
Xu He couldn't sleep, so he went out to pick wild vegetables yawning.
"Xiao He, this is for you."
Xu He suddenly realized that there were two eggs in her arms. When she wanted to return them to the other person, the other person had already run away. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. There was no possibility between them.
"Second cousin, what's wrong with you?"
The sudden sound startled Xu He. Seeing the man's heartbeat, he began to beat even faster. He handed over an egg and said, "Taotao, can you just pretend you didn't see it?"
Xu Tao tilted her head and looked at her cousin. She saw everything and knew that the young man was the youngest son of the village chief. Such a good marriage would never be disagreed by her aunt-in-law and other people who only care about profit and forget their principles.
Considering that her second cousin protected her in her previous life, she is still willing to be her close sister again.
The two sisters came to the back mountain and found a rock to sit and have a long talk.
Xu He is eighteen years old this year. Logically, she is old enough to be a mother, but her parents have always been reluctant to marry her off because her younger brothers and sisters are still young and she needs to do all the housework in their rooms.
The eldest sister Xu Mei was sold for fifteen taels of silver and married to her brother-in-law who had a leg disease. She has not returned for nearly two years. Her parents have spread the word that her family will also be sold for the same amount.
Plus, she is older, so she should get more money if she marries a widower. After all, she is still a virgin, unlike those widows.
Tongge said he wanted to marry her and was saving money, but she didn't want to hurt him for the rest of his life. How could she not know her parents' moral character? With tangible benefits in front of her, how could she not ask for something from time to time?
If she refused, her parents would cry and complain, and what would happen to the village chief's family? She couldn't be so selfish.
Xu Tao supported her chin and looked into the distance. In today's world, filial piety is indeed more important than anything else. Unless her second cousin was sold and signed a contract to sever all ties, she could not completely break away from the relationship.
Yes, a contract to sell one’s body!
When the time comes, the famine-escaping father will definitely inform the village chief. The villagers need to prepare supplies, but where will the money come from?
All the assets of the eldest branch of the family have been drained out. Considering the character of the uncle, it is not impossible that he would sell his own daughter in order to survive. At that time, we just need to find someone to pretend to be a matchmaker and give her some benefits.
Then Xu Tong pretended to have just returned to the village, crying and shouting for redemption, and performed a scene in front of everyone. He kept the letter of severance and the indenture, so that no one could say anything to the couple in the future.
