Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Everyone left and the yard became quiet.

Cui Laoer shrank his neck and realized belatedly that he was a little scared. The strong and powerful Cui Laoda "invited" him into the main room.

However, Cui Laoer approved of this marriage from the bottom of his heart.

He has five children, and he needs to arrange four wives for his four sons.

It’s still unknown whether the baby in Feng’s belly is a boy or a girl. Even if it’s a girl, she still needs to prepare a dowry, which costs money.

It costs at least ten taels of silver to find a wife. The family has no land left, so they can't afford to marry one at all. It's better to send her to marry into the family.

Erlang has always taken care of his younger siblings. After marrying into the woman's family, as long as he works hard, the woman's family will definitely not treat him unfairly, and he will have money in return.

With the money, Silang and his family can also get married.

Unfortunately, no one understood him. His parents got angry when they heard that he was going to marry into his family's family, and they didn't understand his difficulties.

Cui Laoer took a deep breath. He thought his parents must have been embarrassed in front of outsiders just now. Now that they had left, he would explain it carefully and they would understand.

Before entering, Cui Lao Er said to Feng: "Don't say anything for a while. I will say a few soft words to my parents and try to settle this matter."

"I promise not to speak." Feng nodded immediately and said expectantly, "Please ask mother to get me something to eat. I'm starving."

Feng's pregnancy was like a bottomless pit. I don't know if it was because she was very hungry before, but ever since he came back, she wanted to eat eight meals a day.

"...Wait a little longer, let's go home and cook."

Feng pouted reluctantly.

Old Man Cui took a few puffs of his cigarette and his expression became a little more normal, but he still had a cold face and said nothing.

"father..."

Cui Laoer came in and knelt down without saying a word.

"Mom and Dad, I have no choice. Please understand me. I am different from my eldest brother. He only has one son, while I have four children. I work so hard to earn just enough to feed myself. How can I afford to marry Erlang and the others?"

When Old Lady Cui was mentioned, she became furious: "What did I say? I told you two not to have so many children. Your wife is so proud every day, saying that she gave birth to four boys for the Cui family. Now she thinks that marrying a wife is expensive. Why didn't you think of it when you were on the kang with your wife?"

“…Ahem.”

Yu's face flushed as she drove the children out. Her mother was so angry that she started talking about everything.

"Don't you know how much money you have in your pocket? When the family was divided, each of you three brothers had three acres of land. Your eldest brother made a deposit for Dalang today and stuffed a cart full of gifts. Look at how you're living..."

Old Mrs. Cui was scolding Cui Lao Er, but she was glaring at Feng.

Feng's eyes were darting around looking for food, and she didn't react at all.

Cui Laoer muttered, "There are many children at home, and we eat a lot. The money we earn is not enough to fill our stomachs, so how can there be any left..."

Compared to other people in the village, Cui Laoer is not lazy at all. He spends most of the year following the boat around, doing the hardest and most tiring work, and takes all his wages home without spending a penny.

He could earn seven or eight taels of silver a year from sailing, plus the harvest from three mu of land, so he could support not only four sons, but even ten or eight.

But now.

Not only did he have no money, but he also lost his three acres of land.

The two elders of the Cui family were heartbroken, but they also knew that the root of the problem was not with the second Cui. Just looking at Feng's physique, they could tell that if she ate less and worked more, she wouldn't have become so fat.

The pigs in the backyard are not as fat as the second son's wife.

The second son was not often at home, so he didn't know how Feng raised the children, but the two elders of the Cui family saw it all.

The nephew of the Feng family has never been a good person. He always teases cats and dogs. His impatient look today makes sense no matter how you look at it. Only the second son is honest enough not to see it and even helps to sell his son.

"What's the point of telling him this?" Old Man Cui sullenly tapped his pipe twice, finally looking up and around, then at the kneeling Old Man Cui. "Don't kneel anymore. Your mother and I can't stand it."

Because Cui Lao Er was kneeling in front, the two sisters-in-law Yu and Lin did not dare to get close. Several people crowded at the door, blocking the light from coming in, and the room became darker and more depressing.

Cui Laoer was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and he got up from the ground obediently.

"Dad, this marriage is really good. You wouldn't find one even with a lantern. They only have one daughter, and they also said that after the wedding, they will definitely treat Erlang as their own son. Apart from the fact that it doesn't sound good, it seems that our family is taking advantage..."

Old Man Cui interrupted him impatiently: "Your parents haven't died yet, there's no need to rush to become someone else's biological son."

“…” This sentence left Cui Laoer speechless.
