Bai Xin's heart was so cold, he felt that nothing good would happen to his family, and just after they got out of the dragon's pond and tiger's den, there was a hot pit waiting for them to jump in front of them.

He went to Xinghua Village today. Although it was far away, he took a donkey cart and it was not too late when he returned home. His family subconsciously looked into his back basket and asked what he had bought.

The back basket is just a cover. In fact, it looks like it went out, and it looks like it when it comes back. There is only a piece of rag stuffed inside. Seeing that he bought everything, Mrs. Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "In the future, let's save money." Well, seeing that your elder sister's marriage is about to come to an end, although the man doesn't ask for a dowry, if we can give a little more, I can also give your elder sister a good face."

When Bai Xin heard her mentioning the marriage, she became more and more irritable, as if a fire was burning, "Mom!"

The tone was not very good, Cao's words stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at him in unison.

Cao's good temper didn't keep her from getting angry, but she just asked puzzled: "What's the matter, but did you encounter something unpleasant outside?"

Bai Xin realized that everyone in the family was there, and the eldest sister would definitely feel ashamed if she said it in public, so she cleared her throat and said, "Mom, let's go back to the house, I have something to say."

Manniang looked around uncomfortably, thinking that her uncle had something behind her back as an outsider.

"You child, what can't you say in public?" Mrs. Cao muttered a few words in a low voice, but still followed Bai Xin into the house.

Bai Xin closed the door, and Cao was still muttering "what's wrong, what happened".

"Mother, this marriage of eldest sister can't be done."

Mrs. Cao obviously didn't expect him to talk about Auntie's marriage so well, she was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Why can't it be a good marriage?"

Bai Xin then told how he became suspicious and how he went to Xinghua Village to find out.

After listening to the cause and effect, Mrs. Cao seemed to have been clarified. She didn't doubt the truth of what her son said, and suddenly panicked, "What should I do? The posts are all over, and if we agree, then it's settled." After finishing speaking, Wuwu burst into tears, "My poor daughter..."

"Mom!" Bai Xin was impatient that she knew how to cry when things happened, and she was too ignorant to do what others said, which almost hurt the eldest sister, "I haven't seen it yet, let's find a way to make them look down on that day."

After Bai Xin finished speaking, he sighed. This was the worst policy, and it was inevitable that people would make irresponsible remarks to the eldest sister, but no matter what, it was better than marrying into the Lu family, and there were only a few days left before the Lu family, nothing else There is no way to prevent them from coming, or to suddenly fall in love with another family's daughter.

Mrs. Cao felt helpless at this moment, blaming herself and feeling distressed. She had already regarded her son as the backbone, and she did whatever he said, crying and nodding.

"I have to tell my eldest sister about this." Bai Xin couldn't bear to hit her when he thought of her shyness and timidity these two days, "Mom, I can't open my mouth about this, so you should tell my eldest sister. Persuade her well, just say that in the future we will find her someone who knows everything..."

No matter how much you say now, no one will believe it, and it seems to be empty talk, he sighed again, "Mother, you need to find out about this matter in the future, don't let the matchmaker say what she says."

Cao nodded with teary eyes, "I'll go and tell her right away."

Bai Xin gave a few more instructions and left.

Mrs. Cao called the aunt into the house, Bai Xin didn't know what the two of them said, only that they were locked in the room for more than an hour, the aunt covered her face and ran back to the house, Cao's eyes were swollen like peaches, I was listless at dinner, and went to deliver food to my aunt without eating two bites.

The eldest brother stepped in without knowing it, and asked worriedly: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Man Niang was more sensitive, and felt that there was something wrong with the elder sister-in-law's marriage, so in the afternoon, the younger uncle explained behind their backs, and she quietly pulled Da Lang's sleeve.

For several days, the elder sister hid in the house, and it was two days until the day when the Lu family came. The elder sister finally came out. In just a few days, she lost a lot of weight, became emaciated, and her face was ashen. Bai Xin forced a smile, "It's thanks to the third brother for thinking about me. If not, I might not be able to survive for two days if I entered that kind of family."

Seeing her like this, Bai Xin heard her voice was weak and sad, and forgot the embarrassment of talking about the marriage with her sister, so she said, "Sister, don't worry, I will find a good family in the future, who knows everything, and the parents of the other party are honest. Yes, you don't have to be angry."

The aunt nodded, but she didn't listen to Bai Xin's words because of the meaning.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of March. The weather was warmer and the spring was bright. The Bai family had swept the house before, but the atmosphere was extremely depressing. There was no smile on his face, but sadness was added. Look, there is a layer of sweat in the palm of your hand.

Si time was about to pass, and before noon, I heard a donkey braying from far and near, and a donkey cart stopped at the gate of Bai's house leisurely. He stood up to greet him, but was held down by Bai Xin.

Until grandma's loud voice sounded outside, "Aunt Cao, come out quickly."

Only then did Mrs. Cao walk out with difficulty.

The grandma walked in the front and when she saw Mrs. Cao, she gave a displeased wink, blaming her for not coming out too early, Mrs. Cao's heart was in her throat at this moment, so she couldn't care less about her grandma.

Two women, one old and one young, walked in from the donkey. The two of them didn't look at people first, but looked at the house up and down first, then showed disdainful expressions, and acted as if they were superior.

Everyone entered the room, asked the courtesy, and gave up their seats. The older woman should be the Lu family's mother, and she went straight to the point and said, "Let your aunt come out and meet her."

As the saying goes, love is born from the heart, and it is true. Mrs. Lu's eyebrows are hooked, her eyes are like mice, and her two thin lips have a mean look. The other young woman should be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, but she looks exactly like her Mrs. Lu has a quarter-shaped portrait, and she is difficult to get along with at first glance. Her eyes are sweeping around the room, full of disgust.

Mrs. Cao's nervous palms were wet, and she opened her mouth. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Lu disdained her even more. She only regarded her as a small family who was timid and couldn't get on the stage. She rolled her eyelids and urged her again impatiently.

"Mother, I'll call." Seeing that her mother was so nervous that she was almost speechless, Bai Xin hurriedly spoke up.

Bai Xin left behind, wishing to tell the elder sister a few words, but saw that she was not in a hurry except haggard.

The eldest sister nodded, and deliberately procrastinated for a while, before slowly walking out, she subconsciously glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and because Bai Xin had informed her about the Lu family in advance, she felt that the faces of these two people were hideous.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family saw the aunt, they first frowned dissatisfiedly, and then looked up and down again, with an expression that seemed to be picking something.

Auntie wore the most ragged piece of clothing today, and it was washed off and covered with patches. She has been depressed for the past few days, crying a few times from time to time, and her eyes quickly swelled up, like two peaches hanging, His complexion is also not good, and at first glance, he seems to be seriously ill.

Seeing this, Grandma Sun thumped in her heart and tried to smooth things over with a forced smile, "My aunt is usually so energetic, why is she so haggard today? Could it be that she was too worried and didn't sleep well?"

The eldest sister coughed a few times, coughing so hard that she almost collapsed, and then forced a smile, and said slowly: "Grandma was joking, I was like this years ago, today it's already gone." It's good."

The last time grandma came, although the auntie ran back to the house quickly, she was sure that was not the case at that time. She couldn't figure out what the Bai family was thinking, so she couldn't help but glared at Cao Shi a few times.

Lu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's expressions changed a few times, and they looked at grandma suspiciously.

Mrs. Cao opened her mouth and paused before saying the words that had been rehearsed in advance, "Ma'am, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family turned their gazes to Mrs. Cao again. Seeing that she was nervous, her eyes were evasive, and she didn't dare to meet people's eyes at all. Before she knew it, she believed what the aunt said, because the Bai family wanted to marry off their sick daughter. Deliberately colluded with grandma.

"Ah, yes, I'm talking nonsense. I'm fine. I don't have any illnesses." After finishing speaking, she looked longingly at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family, as if she just remembered, and walked over to salute with hands crossed.

As soon as he walked in front of the Lu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but let out a thud, and then he coughed again, as if he was about to fall down at any time, and the saliva even sprayed the Lu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all over the face, scaring them both pale , stood up from the stool suddenly, made a ping-pong sound, almost bumped into each other, and retreated abruptly like avoiding the plague.

Grandma Sun just felt so embarrassed that she couldn't utter any explanations, and she couldn't get the matchmaking money she had been thinking about so much, and she might offend the Lu family, even if she wanted to break her head, she couldn't figure out that the Bai family had already found out For the situation of the family, she only blamed the temporary situation of the Bai family. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, her face sank, and she shouted: "Ms. Cao, what do you mean by this?"

She spoke with confidence, as if someone owed her [-] yuan, but Mrs. Cao couldn't complete the sentence.

Seeing that Grandma Sun was hateful, the aunt looked at her deliberately, and asked with a look of horror: "Grandma Sun, did I say the wrong thing?"

Grandma Sun's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and now she started to curse even more: "Your family is a poor family all your life, a family star who killed thousands of knives." She often hangs out with the crowd in the market, and her curse words are simply ugly.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family were just sprayed by the aunt, and now they quickly retreated to the door, and they kept watching coldly. When the two saw the grandma scolding, they only thought that she became angry from embarrassment. It aroused their anger even more, and they finally shouted loudly, bursting out in anger, "Okay, that's enough!"

Mrs. Lu had a strong aura. After her yelling, Grandma didn't dare to scold anymore. Instead, she looked at her with an aggrieved attitude and hurriedly explained, "I didn't know his aunt was like this..."

"My family is well-off. I wanted to find a nice wife for Erlang, and I didn't ask for any dowry. I didn't want to introduce such a tuberculosis ghost. Could it be that I just wait for the funeral when I get married?" Her words were vicious, and Bai Xin heard , furious.

"No...not..." Granny Sun stuttered, unable to speak clearly.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family seemed unable to stay for a moment, snorted, and flung their sleeves away.

Grandma Sun didn't bother to ask what happened, she just chased it out until the donkey cart disappeared. The Bai family all breathed a sigh of relief. Mother, I blame my mother."

The aunt was wronged in her heart, and she shed tears silently.

The author has something to say: Due to the chain reaction caused by disturbing the marriage, Bai Xin had to consider leaving.
