[Chapter 2099 Tie Kui Fanwai (23)]
September 28, Chunxiang’s wedding day.
Chunni hugged Chunxiang and cried, “Eldest sister, I can’t bear you.” The two sisters can be said to have been dependent on each other for many years. Now that Chunxiang is going to marry, she really can’t bear it.
Chunxiang herself burst into tears.
Tie Kui looked at the two with tears in their eyes and said with a smile: “It’s not too far, but it’s only a half-day journey. If the second sister misses the eldest sister, go to the county to see her.”
Dashuan’s daughter-in-law saw it and said, “This girl is crying and marrying, how can she marry crying if she doesn’t cry?”
Tie Kui was glad that the girls in the countryside didn’t have to wear makeup, otherwise it would have cost her make-up to cry: “Eldest sister, this is a gift from me for your marriage.” After speaking, he took out a small square box from his sleeve. .
Seeing that it was a pair of gold lantern earrings, Chunxiang pushed the thing back to Tie Kui and said, “Kuizi, you have prepared enough jewelry for me. You should keep these gold earrings for your daughter-in-law!”
Chun Ni brought the box over and took out the earrings from the inside, “Eldest sister, Kuizi is so capable, are you worried that he can’t afford gold earrings for his daughter-in-law in the future?” The lilac and silver earrings were taken off and the gold earrings were brought to her.
Dashuan’s wife sincerely praised: “Kuizi, having a younger brother like you is the lucky wife of Chunxiang and their sisters.” Unfortunately, she does not have such a caring and capable younger brother.
Half an hour later, Shao Lili carried the sedan chair to welcome the bride. Suddenly, it became a talking point for the villagers.
You must know that in Tiejia Village, this girl’s married husband’s family uses an ox cart to pick up the bride. There are no weddings that need to be refined, and the bride directly follows the man home with a package.
Tie Kui did not make things difficult for Shao Lichen, and let him pick up Chunxiang smoothly.
The people in the village helped to pack up the tableware and take the tables and chairs home, and the Tie family suddenly became deserted.
Iron Tiger felt very depressed.
Seeing this, Chun Ni reassured: “Father, if you think about the eldest sister, you can go to the county seat to see her.”
With a sigh, Tie Hu went back to the house.
Chun Ni looked at Tie Hu’s lonely back and said softly, “It’s also fortunate that I’m recruiting a son-in-law, not marrying off. Otherwise, Dad, you’ll have to suffer again.”
Lifting the hijab and looking at the charming bride, Shao Lili grinned.
A young daughter-in-law smiled and said, “The bride is so beautiful, no wonder Mechanics is so obsessed with it that she insists on marrying her back home.” This appearance is two points more beautiful than the daughter-in-law that Shao Lixing married. It’s just that I think about it in my heart, and I can’t say it. After all, Shao Lixing’s daughter-in-law Pang Qiuling not only remarried as a widow, but also had bad conduct.
Chunxiang blushed with shame.
Not long after Shao Lili went out, Mother Shao walked in. Looking at the twelve cages placed in the house, Mother Shao said to everyone, “What’s in it? Now that it’s brought over, open it up for everyone to see.” She thought that the Tie family members were just swollen and fat. Mei Meiji spent all the money in the family, and deliberately brought twelve boxes over here. There must be something worthless in this box.
The bride’s dowry is usually brought over to show the husband’s family. But the situation of the Shao family was special, so the cages were locked.
Chunxiang said softly: “Mother-in-law, the key is in the hands of the husband.” This means that if you want to see the dowry, you can go to Shao Lili to get the key.
Mother Shao said to Sister-in-law Shao, “Go and ask Mechanics to fetch the key, and let us see what dowry the bride has brought.” The younger son was fascinated by a widow and listened to the widow in everything. The second son was fascinated by this fox spirit again, and he hurried to marry after quitting the kiss. Mother Shao was upset.
Pang Qiuling entered the door at the beginning of the year, and her relationship with Shao’s mother was like water and fire. And Shao Lixing is devoted to Pang Qiuling, and the relationship with Shao’s mother is getting worse and worse. This also caused Shao’s mother to become more and more left-handed, and it was not pleasing to the eyes of anyone.
The dowry of the new daughter-in-law was originally meant to be displayed to everyone, which is also a local custom. When Shao Lili heard the words, he gave the key to Sister-in-law Shao: “Sister-in-law, Chunxiang is shy, you should take care of her more.”
“It’s natural.” Sister-in-law Shao had six cages when she married, while Chunxiang had twelve cages, which obviously weighed her head down. So Sister-in-law Shao also wanted to know what was in Chunxiang’s box.
Twelve cages, six cages for spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes. Among them, winter clothes occupy three cages, and there is one cage for leather. In the other six boxes, there are necessities such as combs for women, as well as porcelain such as tableware, teacups and so on.
A village woman pointed at the jewelry box in the cage and said, “What is this?”
Chunxiang saw that Sister-in-law Shao stretched out her hand to open it, and hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, I will do this myself.”
This box contains earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, hairpins, hairpins and other jewelry. Although it was all silver, it also made the women in the room look straight. It’s really these jewels, they’re beautifully done.
A young daughter-in-law asked, “Mechanical daughter-in-law, isn’t this jewelry worth the money?”
Chunxiang shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. My brother bought it for me in Shengjing.”
It also happened that the poor management of this shop was going to close and go home, and the silver jewelry was sold at 60% of the price. At this price, it can be said that even the manual fee is not earned. But because the styles are outdated, rich people disdain to buy them, but poor people can’t afford them. And Tie Kui happened to meet and bought two sets of jewelry. However, in Shengjing, this style is outdated, but it is still very beautiful for rural women.
After reading it to everyone, Chunxiang put the jewelry box back into the cage and locked it. Mother Shao’s face turned black in an instant. Everyone else in the room thinks it’s normal, but if they don’t lock it, they won’t take it out at all.
Spring nights are worth a thousand dollars, and the young couple struggled until midnight before falling asleep.
The next day was bright and Chunxiang was ready to get up. Shao Lixiang hugged her and let her continue to sleep.
Chunxiang said, “Xianggong, the newlyweds have to cook for the first day. What does it look like to sleep until the sun rises for three poles?”
Shao Li thought for a while and got up together.
After the two went out, they found that Mrs. Shao was already up. Shao Lili said, “Sister-in-law, let Chunxiang help you cook together!”
When she encouraged Shao’s mother to retire, she wanted to tell Shao Lili about her aunt’s cousin. But now things are a foregone conclusion, and the family has been separated. Sister-in-law Shao doesn’t want to have a bad relationship with Shao Lili and his wife. She greeted Chunxiang and said, “Okay! With Chunxiang’s help, I can save some money.”
I had a wedding yesterday, and there are a lot of dishes left. The two sisters just warmed up the food and did nothing else.
During the meal, Shao’s mother and Shao Lixing’s family of three all came to eat.
Sister-in-law Shao looked a little unsightly when she saw it, but these meals were all from Shao Lichen. The father-in-law and her husband didn’t speak either, so she could only hold her breath and say nothing.
After dinner, Shao Lili took Chunxiang to see the patriarch and other elders in the clan.
After breakfast the next day, Shao Lili said to Shao’s father and Shao’s mother, “Father and mother, my holiday is here. Chunxiang and I will return to the county after having lunch at Yue’s house.”
Father Shao hummed.
Mother Shao wanted to keep Chunxiang, but unfortunately the three sons had already separated, so it was useless for her to speak. If there is no separation, Chunxiang will not marry into the Shao family.
After lunch at the Iron House, the young couple went back to the Shao family to get the cage. As a result, it was found that a cage had been moved.
When she opened the box and found that the jewelry box was missing, Chunxiang burst into tears. The jewelry here is worth a lot of money.
Shao Lili said with a dark face: “Don’t worry, you can’t lose things at home.” Unexpectedly, there was a thief in the house
In the end, Mrs. Shao’s daughter testified that Shao’s mother entered the marriage room and came out with a small box. And finally, the family really found a jewelry box in Shao’s mother’s room.
Opening the jewelry box, Shao Li asked, “Click a little to see if there is anything missing.”
Chunxiang looked at it, shook her head and said, “No, it’s all there.” After speaking, she hugged the jewelry box tightly in her arms.
Mother Shao was so angry that she scolded: “What black heart framed me and framed me.” It was also Chunxiang who was not at home, otherwise she would have suspected that it was Chunxiang’s envoy’s move, in order to ruin her reputation and alienate their mother and son.
It’s a pity that no matter how Mother Shao scolds the Shao family, they don’t believe her, because she did enter the new house.
Originally, the separation was just to divide the property, and everyone still lived under one roof. And because Mother Shao is a mother, she often instructs Da Shao to help her with things, and Sister Shao is very angry. After the separation, the conflicts not only did not decrease, but instead increased. But because of Mother Shao’s theft, Sister-in-law Shao forced her husband to build a wall at home to completely separate the two families.
After more than half a month, Tie Kui asked Chunni with a smile, “I’m going to the bookstore tomorrow, will the second sister follow me to the county seat to visit the eldest sister.”
Chunni wanted to go, but she couldn’t worry about Tiehu: “I’m leaving, who will cook for Dad?”
Tie Hu said with a smile: “You cook more in the morning, I’ll just heat the meal at noon.”
The next day, before dawn, Chunni got up to make breakfast. When it was dawn, the sister and brother went to the county seat.
Walking to the town, then Tie-kui let Chun-hyang ride an ox cart, and he walked.
Seeing that Chunxiang was unwilling, Tie Kui smiled and said, “Eldest sister, I’m not trying to save money, but to exercise my leg strength.” He doesn’t get tired of running on the mountain for a day now, so it’s nothing to walk for so long.
Seeing Chun Ni and Tie Kui, Chunxiang couldn’t be more happy: “Big sister, brother, why are you here? Come in and sit down.”
The two houses that Shao Li bought were not big. The house they lived in was full with a bed, dresser and wardrobe. Other furniture was put in another room.
Chunxiang said, “This room is too small.” Just two small rooms cost more than thirty taels of silver, which is really expensive.
“Take your time, and save up the money to get a bigger one later.” It doesn’t matter if the house is smaller, as long as you don’t live in the countryside and face her mother-in-law every day.
Tie Kui said: “eldest sister, second sister, you can talk, I will go to the bookstore.”
The two sisters were just like at home, chatting while cooking. After the meal was ready, Tie Kui and Shao Lili came back together.
When Shao Lili returned home, he told Chunxiang good news. Because the guy who helped the guests with the medicine quit, the shopkeeper asked him to take over: “From now on, I will have 4 taels of silver every month.” Apart from chewing, I can save 2 taels of silver every month. After saving for two years, I will change to a house with a courtyard.
Chunni praised: “Brother-in-law is really capable.”
Because Tie Hu was at home alone, the two rushed back after lunch.
After Chunxiang and the others left, they said to Shao Lili, “Big sister and the others have brought a lot of things.”
Shao Lien said, “Let’s be filial to our father-in-law in the future.”
Speaking of this, Chunxiang was worried: “My father is so worried about Chunni’s marriage that she doesn’t know what it will be.” Chunni and Tiekui were not in a hurry, but they were so anxious for Chunxiang.
“That kind of thing comes naturally.”
After the couple said a few words, Shao Lili went to the pharmacy. It was also because he knew that the Chunni sister and brother were here for the first time, so he deliberately asked for a half-day leave to accompany him.
Chunxiang was sorting out the soybeans, peanuts and other items that Chunni had sent. At this time, Mrs. Liu, who was next door, came to visit.
Mrs. Liu looked at the two big bags and said with a smile, “Your parents really love you.” These things are not valuable in the countryside, but they all cost money in the county town.
Chunxiang smiled and said, “My daddy loves me very much, and my eldest sister and brother treat me very well.”
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she thought that Jin was dead, so she quickly changed the subject: “You are such a handsome girl. If you come to the door to propose marriage, you are afraid that the threshold will be broken.” After going out as a guest, she naturally has to dress beautifully and go out. The girl in 2008 looks good even after a little bit of tidying up.
Because the relationship between the two is good, Chunxiang didn’t hide it: “My brother said that he would go out to work when he was sixteen, and my father was afraid that he would not be able to rely on him when he was old, so he would recruit a son-in-law for my eldest sister. I didn’t pick a favorite.”
Sister-in-law Liu was stunned for a moment, and then said: “There are children in the family, and this girl has no part in the property. How can she pick her favorite.”
Chunxiang shook her head and said, “The shopkeeper of a firm in Shengjing told him that as long as he passes by, he will give him twenty-two months. So my brother said that he doesn’t want the family’s property, and that he will give it all to the eldest sister.”
“real?”
Chunxiang smiled bitterly and said, “What’s there to deceive you? Our whole family knows about it. I don’t want to pick it, I just want to find someone who looks good and works hard, but unfortunately I can’t find it.”
Sister Liu was thoughtful.
Chunni was cooking lunch at home that day, when she saw Chunxiang appearing at the door of the kitchen, she was shocked: “Big sister, why are you back? Did something happen?”
Chunxiang said with a wide-eyed smile, “It’s something, but it’s for you.”
Chunni was inexplicable: “My business? I’ve always been good at home, what can I do?”
“For your marriage.” Without waiting for Chunni to ask, Chunxiang said, “It’s a coincidence that you came to visit me that day and was seen by my sister-in-law Liu next door. She knew that you were going to recruit a husband, so she introduced me to me. Personal choice. I have seen that person, tall and burly, and his appearance is correct.”
Chun Ni couldn’t help but ask one more question: “Tall, burly and decent-looking, why can’t I marry a wife? Is it because people are too lazy?”
Chunxiang glanced at Chunni angrily: “What nonsense are you talking about, if you don’t understand clearly, I can run home and tell you. This Dongzi is very diligent, but his family is poor and has many brothers, and he still owes him a lot of money. I have less foreign debt, so I can’t get a wife.”
“How much foreign debt is owed? How is it owed.”
Chunxiang said: “His father is a bastard, and her mother always takes medicine when she is not in good health, so she owes a lot of money. However, his father and mother disappeared a few years ago, and now most of the foreign debt has been repaid.”
