Chapter 93 93. Asking for a bride price
Zhao Xiaofeng only remembered the general direction and walked forward according to the path in her memory. Her legs were numb from walking. What she saw were still patches of cornfields, and she couldn't tell any difference at all.
Looking at the messy soil, Zhao Xiaofeng hesitated for a long time, but still did not move in. He stood on the top of the field and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Is there anyone there? Let me ask, which field is Su Yao working in?"
"
The people who were chatting and working stopped what they were doing, looked up at Zhao Xiaofeng on the ground, and joked about Wang Hongying: "Hongying, isn't that your in-laws?"
In order to support herself, Zhao Xiaofeng took out all the new clothes from the bottom of the box and wore them when she came to Xiahe Village.
Wang Hongying looked at the brightly dressed Zhao Xiaofeng and said disdainfully: "What kind of in-laws? People from the city can't afford them. My family doesn't care about them."
There is a reason why Wang Hongying is so angry.
Because I was sent to the countryside to work as an educated youth for my brother, I had always been angry with my family. I didn’t even send a letter to my family about the marriage. Of course, no relatives or friends from the Su family showed up for the wedding.
In Wang Hongying's eyes, she just felt that the Su family didn't like this marriage and looked down upon their country status.
I used to look down on her, and Wang Hongying didn't have the habit of being hot-tempered and cold-hearted, so naturally I didn't have a good impression of Zhao Xiaofeng either.
Someone who was watching the excitement did not think it was a big deal and said, "No matter how rare it is, my daughter will marry your son. In the future, your grandson will have to come out of this girl's belly. Can you deny it?"
Originally, Su Yao was a thorn in Wang Hongying's side. After the village election was promoted and Yan Fusheng was pushed out of the position of captain, Su Yao became a thorn in Wang Hongying's side: "She? The result has been so long.
, there is no movement in the stomach, I don’t think she can give birth at all. With her like this, she will be divorced sooner or later."
Those people spoke without suppressing their voices, and Zhao Xiaofeng could hear them clearly even from the ground. She stared at the woman named Hongying carefully and clenched her back molars in anger.
He wanted to go on and argue with Wang Hongying, but he was afraid of getting his clothes dirty, so he rolled his eyes a few times, took note of Wang Hongying's appearance, and continued to look for Su Yao with a lot of anger.
When Zhao Xiaofeng found Su Yao, Su Yao had just started working in the field, with dirt still on his hands. He was wearing a turban, and looked no different from the other villagers.
Under the setting sun, Zhao Xiaofeng was sitting on the side of the road. Her new clothes were incompatible with the dirt in the countryside. She stopped smiling, stopped joking with her companions, walked to Zhao Xiaofeng, and asked in a low voice: "You are not staying at home."
Wait, what are you doing out here?"
Zhao Xiaofeng walked all the way, her legs hurt, and she was holding back a lot of anger. However, she was yelled at by Su Yao. The anger found its way out, and Zhao Xiaofeng retorted: "My legs are on my body, and why?"
I’m not allowed to move around.”
Su Yao didn't want Zhao Xiaofeng to come out, but also thought that she had a hard time traveling and had a good rest at home, and her good intentions were misunderstood. Su Yao stopped joking and replied with a strong voice: "Then you can keep walking, I don't care about you.
"
After that, he turned around and left.
Zhao Xiaofeng was so dizzy from walking that she couldn't even remember the way home. Seeing that Su Yao was really planning to leave her family alone and didn't care about anything else, she stood up and patted the dirt on her butt: "You damn girl.
Wait a minute, with my old arms and legs, how can I catch up with you?"
When the people around saw this scene, they left long ago.
Su Yao and Zhao Xiaofeng walked one behind the other to the entrance of the village.
Zhao Xiaofeng couldn't walk anymore, so she bent down and held her knees: "You walk slower."
Su Yao didn't say anything, but he didn't go any further.
It just so happened that Xia Yulu also finished her classes today, and walked from the school to the educated youth spot with two books in her arms.
He looked at Su Yao from a distance, and when he got closer, he discovered that there was a woman not far behind her.
Still two meters away from the two of them, Xia Yulu stopped.
Looking at Zhao Xiaofeng, who was somewhat similar to Su Yao, Xia Yulu said in greeting: "You are Su Yao's mother, you are so young. You are like a sister standing with Su Yao."
Su Yao is the youngest in the family. When she was born, Zhao Xiaofeng was already thirty-six. Now Su Yao is twenty-one, and Zhao Xiaofeng is fifty-six this year.
Zhao Xiaofeng is not a particularly well-maintained person, and her family does not have the conditions to do so. Naturally, she cannot look the same at fifty as she does at thirty.
Standing together, we can still call them sisters. I don't know whether to say that Xia Yulu is blind, or that Xia Yulu is too proficient in telling lies with her eyes open.
Zhao Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly: "I am her mother, how can we still be sisters? These words have confused our seniority. You kid is too bad at talking."
Zhao Xiaofeng's ignorance of jokes made Xia Yulu blush.
For the first time, Su Yao felt that Zhao Xiaofeng had a good temper, so he introduced her: "This is the educated youth who went to the countryside with me, Xia Yulu."
Zhao Xiaofeng was very familiar with this name. According to the version she heard from Qiao Yantang, this man was a man-stealer from his daughter. After looking at it carefully, he asked: "Xia Zhiqing doesn't look like he works in the fields. Is it possible?"
Why can't you do something special and not work?"
Xia Yulu felt Zhao Xiaofeng's hostility, smoothed her hair and straightened her clothes: "I am a preschool teacher in the village. I can get work points without having to work."
Su Yao leaned close to Zhao Xiaofeng's ear and explained in a low voice: "It is to teach the children in the village who are not yet old enough to go to school to read and read."
Zhao Xiaofeng understood and said straight away: "You read so many books and ended up babysitting someone else's children. You lost a good diploma in vain. I don't know what that old witch saw in you?"
Su Yao didn't know who the old witch Zhao Xiaofeng was talking about was.
But since she quit her job as a preschool teacher, Xia Yulu looked arrogant every time she saw her, and Su Yao had long been unhappy.
In line with the principle of kindness, Su Yao has always turned a blind eye. This time, Zhao Xiaofeng vented his anger.
Forcibly holding back her smile, Su Yao tried to smooth things over for Zhao Xiaofeng: "My mother has a straight temper and her words are inappropriate. Don't take it to heart."
Without waiting for Xia Yulu to speak, Su Yao took Zhao Xiaofeng's arm and walked away, bypassing Xia Yulu.
After walking for some distance, Zhao Xiaofeng began to scold Su Yao: "It's just a girl like that. What's there to be afraid of? I stopped her in just two sentences. Just take it out like you did on the ground at home, how can you still do it?"
Asking others to bully you outside?"
Zhao Xiaofeng kept talking nonchalantly all the way.
Su Yao kicked the pebbles on the road and pretended to be mute.
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard Zhao Xiaofeng's silence. I turned around and saw that Zhao Xiaofeng was staring at Wang Hongying in front of me: "That is your mother-in-law!"
Su Yao looked into the distance and saw Wang Hongying standing at the door of her house chatting with her neighbors.
She was surprised by Zhao Xiaofeng's intelligence ability. She had only been here for a long time and she didn't even introduce anyone to her. She recognized Wang Hongying and responded: "Yes."
Now in this place, Zhao Xiaofeng has no scruples.
His legs were no longer sore and his head was no longer dizzy. He rolled up his sleeves and walked over aggressively.
Seeing that the situation was not quite right, the man who was chatting with Wang Hongying kept his words and carefully returned to the door of his house, but did not go in. He leaned against the wooden door, ready to watch the excitement.
Su Yao quickly pulled Zhao Xiaofeng: "Mom, let's go home."
Zhao Xiaofeng shook off Su Yao's pull, put her hands on her waist, raised her head and said: "Old witch, I listened to everything you said in the field today. You still think it's inappropriate for you to marry my daughter.
Those who don’t like this or that, get the advantage and behave well.”
Wang Hongying stood a step higher than Zhao Xiaofeng and looked at Zhao Xiaofeng condescendingly: "Hey, who do I think she is? Su Yao's mother. You don't know the daughter you raised? Whoever married her took advantage of her. That's a stall.
It’s a disaster.”
"Bah", Zhao Xiaofeng spat at Wang Hongying's feet: "Why did you go there earlier? You don't have to keep your eyes open when you want to marry a wife. Just don't marry her at home. We are a yellow-flowered girl. Who wants to marry you?"
Men have to line up at the door."
Wang Hongying laughed loudly: "We are all educated youths. Xia Educated Youth's matchmaker comes to the house every day to help with matchmaking. Your girl has been in our Xiahe Village for more than a year and no one has cared about it. Do you think there are so many people who want to marry you?"
Hurry up and take a piss to show yourself what kind of virtue you are."
"No one cares. That's because you have blind eyes and don't know the truth. If this damn girl hadn't hidden it from us at that time, I wouldn't have let her marry a black-hearted family like yours."
When it comes to being a black-hearted person, Wang Hongying feels that she is not as good as Su Yao.
I couldn't say anything to Su Yao before, and I kept it in my heart. This time I found an opportunity and started to criticize one by one: "I am a black-hearted person. If I were a black-hearted person, I should have died at this door and let your daughter become a
What a joke, I won’t let her come in and harm my family.”
"Ask your daughter, one year after she entered the family, she first caused trouble for us to separate our family, and then she caused trouble for the whole village, taking away the position of captain of the boy's father. Your daughter is a broom star, you don't want to stay here
At home, we were afraid that it would hinder your family's destiny, so we sent her here to harm our family, right? Your whole family is full of evil hearts."
There was a lot of quarrel at home because of the matter of going to the countryside. Wang Hongying's words were a naked provocation. If Su Yao had a problem with the family because of this, how could Zhao Xiaofeng find Su Yao to fight against her in the future?
Stretching out her hands that were shaking with anger, Zhao Xiaofeng pointed at Wang Hongying's nose and said: "Stop confusing right and wrong. Whoever's mother-in-law shouts that her daughter-in-law is a broom star every day. You are such a black-hearted person, you still have to separate the family.
The house is occupied, so my daughter did the right thing by dividing the family."
"In the past, my daughter went out alone and had to settle her losses with you. She didn't dare to argue about anything. Now that I'm here, I am my daughter's support. Your family owes my daughter a lot. You owe me everything.
Hand it over to me."
Wang Hongying slapped Zhao Xiaofeng's hand away directly: "What do you owe me? I've raised my son for so long. He's already mine without asking them for pension money. What else do you want?"
Zhao Xiaofeng: "Anyone who marries a daughter-in-law will not get a cent of the bride price. It is money for the mother's family."
Wang Hongying sneered: "I thought Su Yaozhen had found someone to support her, but I didn't expect it was someone who sold her daughter. It's a pity that your daughter is a loser and worthless. You raised her in vain."
Someone stood up for him, but Su Yao still looked like he was watching the fun. As he said this, he started to attack him. Su Yao stopped being a spectator: "You have Shoucheng in the middle, I have to call you.
Mom, we are all mothers, do you feel comfortable hearing your girl’s husband’s family calling your girl a loser and a loser every day?”
Wang Hongying rolled her eyes: "My girl will not fall in love with a daughter-in-law who is rushing to be a man."
