Chapter 110: Changes in the eldest cousin's marriage
They said that the children must have a wedding house when they get married, so let's renovate the house first.
In fact, how could you not know what the other person is planning?
The bride price is three taels of silver, which is all the savings my husband and I have had over the years, plus some money to renovate the house.
Even building two mud houses would cost several taels or even ten taels!
It's all our fault that we two adults are useless.
Although my parents-in-law have some money, it is definitely not much. I definitely cannot let them take it. If that happens, the three brothers will not be able to tell it apart, and it will affect the harmony of the family.
I feel sad just thinking about it.
My second aunt beside me also heard it.
Xiao Xia was right. Only if you have good conditions can you be selected as an upper-level candidate. Although your daughter is only twelve years old, your son is already sixteen years old and still has not found a marriage.
Of course, I also wanted Zhao Xin to go with him, but I didn't know how to ask her, and my daughter was also introverted.
Only the child can speak up for this kind of thing. If she speaks up, it doesn't matter even if Xiao Xia refuses.
It’s different when you speak up yourself.
In the quiet night, every little sound was very clear, and I could hear my second aunt's voice.
Shen Xia thought about it and decided that she would definitely do the silk business in the future. The family was full of men, and they were not as careful as women. Raising one was to accompany him, and nurturing two was also to educate them.
Then he said, "Cousin Zhao Xin, do you want to come with us?"
In fact, when Zhao Xin heard that her cousin Zhao Xue was going, she wanted to go herself, but she was afraid of causing trouble for her aunt.
So she didn't say anything because she was not as enthusiastic and outgoing as her sister.
After hearing what her cousin's wife said, Zhao Xin immediately replied, "Thank you, cousin. I will definitely be as diligent as my sister."
At this time, my second aunt's troubled brows also relaxed.
I can only face the black night and say: "Xia Xia, thank you!"
"We are all family, so don't be polite. I just want to give my cousin the opportunity to learn. As for whether she can learn, that's up to the two sisters."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Xiaoxia. If you really don't have the material, don't be polite and just send it back to your aunt." The second aunt also said readily.
Shen Xia also replied: "Aunts, actually, the problem that Third Aunt talked about today, Mother said to wait, there is really something for you to do, but, not now, Third Aunt may have misunderstood this, it doesn't mean that I won't teach you."
"This requires a lot of houses, and my house is too small. I can't teach you now. My two cousins are going there to study. They can come back to teach you after they learn it."
The two listened.
My aunt said excitedly, "Really."
The second aunt also said excitedly: "Really."
Shen Xia listened to the excited voices of her two aunts: "Really, after you learn it, it will be no problem to earn 10 to 20 taels a year."
The four people on the bed were shocked by the amount of silver.
what?
One or twenty taels?
My eldest aunt and second aunt are thinking that they will be able to get married next year.
sky?
Is this pie in the sky?
The four of them pinched their thighs.
pain--
This is real.
Of course Shen Xia didn’t know all this.
The aunt pretended to be vicious and said to Zhao Xue: "Listen to your cousin's wife, okay? If your cousin's wife thinks you are too lazy, I will skin you alive when I come back."
I knew it, if fourth sister's family can become richer and richer, how can they not need help from outsiders?
Compared to other people's families, your own family members are definitely more trustworthy.
Of course I am willing to help, but I would be happier if there was some benefit.
Now I don't have to worry about my son's marriage. When I have enough money next year, I will renovate the house and marry He Yuer.
After a few more years of work, we can build a house and a separate yard.
very nice.
The more I think about it, the happier I am.
The second aunt also said the same thing to Zhao Xin, asking her to pay more attention and to ask her cousin's wife carefully if she didn't understand anything.
Both of them were happy.
The two thought that only the petty idiot in the third room missed it.
Of course, Shen Xia didn't necessarily abandon his third uncle's family completely, but some people would only learn their lesson after suffering losses from their schemes.
The easier it is to get something, the less we value it.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle are different, even if they have no money.
I am also willing to give up my paying job to help, and for this reason alone, I will help as much as I can.
And whoever raises silkworms has to pay for it.
It’s the same when giving it to your loved ones.
And we can help you whether it is profitable or not.
Of course, we cannot treat everyone equally, otherwise the people who help you unconditionally from the bottom of their hearts will feel unfair.
the next morning,
My family didn't send me white flour, and I didn't know whether my grandmother had some or I borrowed it from outside, because it was not available to buy early in the morning.
I heard from Zhao Xue yesterday that this place is even farther from the town than the Song family!
Breakfast was pickles and meat buns. It seemed there was not much pork left from yesterday.
Everyone looked at such a rich breakfast, they realized that they didn’t eat so well during the Chinese New Year.
Third aunt looked at so many meat buns,
I can't even describe how uncomfortable I felt.
You have to eat as much as what is sent to you!
I was able to smile a little yesterday.
This morning I was in a bad mood.
During this period, her third uncle reminded her twice.
The buns for the morning were also made by my aunt and second aunt early in the morning.
Because the first and second wives were going to the Song family together today, they did not go to clear the silt.
Only my third uncle and cousin Zhao Lin finished their breakfast and went to work.
The eldest uncle asked the second uncle to tell the person in charge of timekeeping that they and the others would take leave and would not be going.
Anyway, it’s almost the end of the month now.
The silt removal is almost complete, and it will take at most another half a month.
The renovation of my sister's house will probably take more than a month at most. It doesn't take long to repair a house.
Because it takes two hours to get back to the Song family now, I will definitely not be home by noon.
When cooking in the morning, ask the eldest and second daughter-in-law to do more.
So when she left, my grandmother packed a big bag of buns for my mother.
There were so many meat buns left that my third aunt originally wanted to make some and send some to her parents' home after everyone left.
In the end, I saw everything was packed up and taken away by my fourth sister.
I really get angrier the more I think about it.
There are a lot of gifts.
In the end, I really ate before leaving.
At this time, the third aunt couldn't help it: "Mom just loves the fourth sister. When the fourth sister comes back, mom really empties the house to entertain the fourth sister."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Song's mother was not a talkative person.
I didn't want it in the first place, but I thought, this isn't just for me.
It is true that I cannot reach the Song family at noon.
I’m afraid Xia Xia will be hungry by then.
So I stayed.
At this time, the grandmother looked at the third daughter-in-law and said, "Isn't it? Unlike some people, who give everything to their parents, but only take in and never give out."
When Shen Xia heard this, she knew that her grandmother was at her third aunt’s home in Yinyang!
How come my grandmother is so good at talking? My mother doesn’t look like her at all!
Just when everyone was embarrassed.
Suddenly someone came outside the yard.
When my aunt saw that it was the He family, she happily went to open the door.
I originally said that I would wait until Xiaoxia's affairs were settled before discussing the marriage.
I didn't expect the He family to come.
He's father and mother still brought He Yuer with them.
The eldest aunt looked at her in-laws and said, "How come you have time to come here today? You are here to discuss the marriage."
The He family looked at the many people in the yard and said to the aunt, "Come inside and talk!"
Shen Xia looked at her cousin who was looking at He Yuer shyly and blushing.
Shen Xia thought it was cute.
Song Jin watched Shen Xia smile at her cousin, and felt jealous: "Xia Xia, what are you laughing at?"
Shen Xia came back to her senses: "Nothing."
I was planning to leave, so I might have to wait a while.
So except for the two old people and the eldest family, everyone else went in.
In fact, everyone is waiting outside.
As a result, after a while, he saw the He family leave with a bad look on their faces.
Shen Xia was guessing.
It seems that this marriage has changed!
