Chapter 5 Getting Married
"In any era, my son has to listen to his mother! The family can't afford to raise so much money-losing goods!" Old Mrs. Mu said arrogantly.
"That sister-in-law and second cousin are older than me, why don't you marry them first!" Mu Xiu couldn't help it, and she walked to the door of the main house and said.
The little aunt Mu Xiu called is Mu Zhi, who is the youngest child of Mrs. Mu. Mrs. Mu gave birth to three sons in a row. In the end, when she was almost in her forties, she actually gave birth to another daughter. Although Mrs. Mu prefers boys over girls, Mu Zhi is the most prestigious girl in the Mu family. Mu Zhi is now 22 years old and has not yet married.
The second cousin is Mu Hongxia, the youngest daughter of her uncle Mugen family. She is 15 years old this year, one year older than Mu Xiu.
"Our family Hongxia is still studying, and she will go to the city to study in college in the future." The younger aunt Wang Guiying spoke. When she heard Mu Xiu dared to mention her daughter, she felt uncomfortable immediately. She knew that Mu Xiu was not studying, so she said deliberately.
"I'm happy to raise Muzhi. Why, what do you have any objection?" After saying that, Old Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Xiu with her head tilted toward the corners of her eyes.
If it were Mu Xiu, who had been so excited that he would have run away crying, but the soul in this body had already changed.
"I won't marry you, I'll marry you!" Mu Xiu looked calm and leisurely.
"A bastard, it's not your turn to talk to this family. I gave you your life. If I told you to marry, you must marry!" Old Mrs. Mu felt that her authority was challenged, and she slapped her hands heavily on the dilapidated table in the main house.
"I picked it up by my parents. What does it have to do with you? Besides, I am only 14 years old this year. If you insist on getting married, then let's go to the brigade branch secretary to evaluate and judge!" Mu Xiu vaguely remembered that there seemed to be no village chief at that time, and the person with the greatest power in the village was the brigade branch secretary.
When talking about the brigade secretary, Old Mrs. Mu seemed a little afraid, but soon she felt that she was right, so she became louder.
"You damn girl, you are so old now that you dare to disobey, right? Find the brigade branch secretary, right? Let me tell you, even if you find me in front of you, I'm not afraid. See if I can marry you or not!"
"Mom, Xiu is still young. Let's talk about marriage later!" Mushui also said at this time.
As soon as Mu Shui finished speaking, he was slapped in the face again.
"You have a hard wing now, right? One or two dare to talk back to me. I'm so miserable. If I had known that I would be angry with you, I wouldn't have been so angry with me. I wouldn't have thrown my urinary pot to drown me." Old Mrs. Mu was so angry that Mu Xiu was so angry that Mu Shui just hit the gun...
Mu Xiu looked at Mu Shui with a decadent face and looked down on him. A man who couldn't even protect his wife and children was worthy of being bullied in this family.
"You have to protect this wild species, right? Well, let Zhou Shuilian get out of the Mu family with that monster." Liu Yaomei said coldly.
Mu Xiu was overjoyed when she heard this. She wanted everyone to leave the Mu family quickly, but before she could make a sound, Zhou Shuilian's voice came from outside the door.
"Mom! Don't drive us away!" Zhou Shuilian's pleading voice sounded. It turned out that Zhou Shuilian was anxious when she saw Mu Xiu and Mu Shui not coming back. So she carried the child to the main house in front. As soon as she arrived at the door of the main house, she heard Mrs. Mu say she wanted to drive them all out of the house.
"Oh, Shuilian, you have just given birth to a child and you can't stand it. Hurry up and lie down, so that you won't be seen and say we'll bully you." Liu Yumei sat on the chair in the main room and said sarcastically at Zhou Shuilian.
When Mu Shui saw Zhou Shuilian coming, he immediately stood up and walked to Zhou Shuilian in a few steps, carefully supporting her. When Old Mrs. Mu saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel even more angry. The son she raised was so kind to other women.
Liu Yumei and Wang Guiying also slapped their lips. Although Mushui is a bad person, he has always been considerate to his wife and has never beaten his wife. This is rare in the entire Yingwu Village...
"Mom," Zhou Shuilian looked at Old Lady Mu with red eyes.
"Second sister-in-law, it's not that I'm cursing you. One or two children in front of you have a strange disease and spent a lot of money at home. Who knows if this will be the same? It's better to throw this girl away early and have another child. Maybe the next one is a son, or save some money for her son." Wang Guiying said, seemingly consolingly.
"Sister-in-law, if you really want to keep this girl, you may have to treat her. But I have a clear way to point you out." Liu Yumei suddenly spoke.
"Sister-in-law, tell me!" Zhou Shuilian seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and looked anxiously at Liu Yumei with a calculating look on her face.
"Let me tell you, the accountant family in my grandmother's village is talking to her eldest son about his wife, that's great. If you don't mention the conditions, you will never suffer after you marry. They will tell you a betrothal gift of 400 yuan!" Liu Yumei said her plan at this time.
"Four hundred yuan?! Is this serious?" Old Mrs. Mu was a little shocked, and she didn't blame her for being surprised. At that time, four hundred yuan was a huge sum of money. The official employees of the city factory only cost about thirty yuan a month, let alone in the countryside...
"No, I was shocked when I heard this. With the conditions of the village accountant family, many girls want to drill into his house with sharpened heads."
Liu Yumei looked at Mu Xiu deeply, as if she was afraid that she would refuse, and continued, "Xiu, auntie is also for your own good. But every meal in the family is eaten with meat and white flour. You have fallen into a lucky nest after marrying you."
Mu Xiu looked at Liu Yumei, who seemed to be uneasy, deliberately pretended to be scared, looked at the grandma beside her hesitantly, and said timidly: "Auntie, you have always had a good relationship with your sister-in-law. Why didn't you introduce such a good thing to me? It just fell on me?"
After hearing Mu Xiu's words, Old Lady Mu looked at Liu Yumei with some dissatisfaction. Mu Zhi is 22 years old and is a young girl in the village. With such a good family, why didn't Liu Yumei mention it? Now Mu Xiu pick up this great good thing.
Wang Guiying also looked angry. Hongxia yelled at home every day that she didn't want to study anymore. If there was such a good family, she wouldn't mind marrying her daughter early. If she went to college, she would just talk casually.
After the college entrance examination was restored, there were so many students in the provincial capital that didn’t get out of the exam, and they all took root in the village, which was not as good as those of them, native farmers.
