Chapter 8 She wants to keep the festival
 "Qiu Yu, listen to my aunt's persuasion, you are still a big girl with yellow flowers, you can't just waste it like this, it will be a hundred days soon, if you want to remarry, you must hurry up, otherwise you really want to get married No more."

Xiaohe Village is not the kind that does not allow widows to remarry, but there is also a rule that if you want to remarry, you must marry within a hundred days, otherwise you must observe the festival for 3 years, and you are not allowed to remarry within 3 years. Shentang will also be expelled from Xiaohe Village.

Similarly, if you follow the rules for three years, the village will still take care of you, at least if you don’t do anything, the village will give you basic rations, at least you won’t starve to death.

And after 3 years, if you want to remarry, you can marry at will. If you don't want to, you can continue to be a chaste woman, but this is a lifetime, and the village will report to the court and issue chastity memorial archways.

And many people want to remarry within a hundred days. After all, women's youth is limited, and it is appropriate to marry at the age of 15 or 6 here, and it will be difficult to find someone later.

And Su Qiuyu has just turned 16 years old, and in three years she will be 19 years old. She is an old girl, and it will be difficult to get married again.

"Aunt Lianhua, do you know that they asked me to marry someone as a concubine?"

Su Qiuyu's rhetorical question stunned Wang Lianhua, but she reacted immediately, and said with a hint of envy on her face:

"I'm talking about a silly girl. The third son of the county master's family has such a character and character. Marrying him as a concubine is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes. You girl has hit a big luck."

Su Qiuyu was about to laugh angrily, how come there are so many people rushing to be concubines in this world.

"Auntie, I'm just a widow's life. I didn't think too much about it. I'll just keep my Tieniu safe and sound. Since my aunt thinks it's good to be a concubine, if you want me to say that you might as well have a good time with my eldest aunt." Discuss, I remember that Sister Shui Lian will be 15 soon, this age is just right, and she is also handsome, and she is also one of the best in our village, it is wronged to be a concubine, let me say, being a regular wife is suitable."

Su Qiuyu said that on purpose, but when she saw that there was something wrong with Wang Lianhua's expression, she realized that Wang Lianhua really listened to it, right?This water lotus is her own daughter, how can she do this?
Mrs. Huang didn't expect that Wang Lianhua was so useless, and she obviously had other thoughts, so she became anxious immediately. The third brother said that the county magistrate only needs sisters, so how can anyone replace them.

"How do you talk, kid? Can my elder harm you? It's not because you are pitiful, but you are still so noisy. Don't be ignorant."

"I'm making a fuss, auntie, I'm already married, I'm not from the Su family, besides, you don't allow me to be a chaste woman, and I'm going to the village chief to ask who I'm hindering by being a chaste woman. "

Seeing Huang's anger, Su Qiuyu thought of another thing, and said persistently:

"Auntie, since the county magistrate is willing to spend a few hundred taels to marry his son a daughter-in-law, you should plan carefully and let my uncle Huang's child or other younger sisters marry, which one is not good? You must find me a widow, Don't people despise bad luck?"

"What? A few hundred taels?"

Wang Lianhua was shocked by such a large number, and immediately looked at Su Qiuyu and Huang Shi in surprise.

Mrs. Huang was so angry that she had 200 taels, but that money could not fall into her hands. Although it was put into the public house, if the family were separated in the future, she would also be able to take one of them. The old lady also said, After all, she is also the daughter of their family, and then give them another 10 taels of silver.

Who would have thought how Su Qiuyu would know so clearly.

"How can there be so many, her aunt, don't listen to that girl's nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. It's not like everyone doesn't know whether the county magistrate has money. There are only three sons in his family. The eldest son is dumb, the second son is deaf, and the third son is the healthiest. Can't you plan well?"

After saying this, everyone's faces are a bit ugly. What a crime this is, the men in this family are so unfortunate.

But the dowry gift of a few hundred taels was indeed shocking. No one knew what Wang Lianhua was thinking, but Mrs. Huang didn't dare to stay any longer, because if she stayed any longer, she didn't know what this girl would say again.

"Oh, I remembered that the chickens at home haven't been fed yet. I'm leaving first. Sanya, you should think about it."

Mrs. Huang ran away in a hurry. Su Qiuyu didn't expect her to be so easily dismissed, but Wang Lianhua was still in a daze, but Su Qiuyu couldn't help reminding:
"Auntie, although Sister Shuilian is good, don't think too much about being a concubine. Besides, you know Erya's temper is very lofty. If Shuilian really wants to marry her, the two of them might not get along with each other."

"My family, Shuilian, is well known in all the towns and villages. The one who grows up is called a water lotus. She is the head of farming in her family, and she is just a concubine. This...well, I have something to do, so I will go first. If you want me to say, keep the festival Well, keeping the festival will get you a good reputation, right?"

"Auntie, go slowly, come and play when you have time."

No matter what Wang Lianhua thinks, it's time to remind Su Qiuyu that if she insists on pushing her daughter into the fire pit, she has no choice.

But will the Su family really give up their minds so quickly?Not necessarily, today is Mrs. Huang, so what if it is Mrs. Su tomorrow?Furthermore, if they use some tricks, they are alone, what should they do if something happens at that time?
It seems that I have to find a way to quickly take the initiative to attack.

Su Qiuyu looked around, it wasn't too late at the moment, she went back to the house, brought out the pheasant that hadn't been cleaned up in time, and brought in a hare that she had pickled before, which was considered a good thing in the village. Great gift, it seems necessary to go to the village chief for a walk.

……

"Tie Niu daughter-in-law, you have to think about it. No one says you will marry at this age. After three years, it will not be very easy to find."

"Grandpa the village chief, I've made up my mind. My fate is not good. As soon as I marry, my Tie Niu will die with the tiger, but we are married after all, and he is an orphan. I will guard him for three years. Every year The sacrificial priest also has an incense burner, so I can count on him to be worthy of him."

The village head nodded. The boy was grateful, and Tie Niu died for the village. If a person died and there was no one to burn incense in the future, it would be really miserable.

"You are a good boy. Since you have made your decision, we will open the ancestral hall to announce in two days. From now on, you will come as a chaste woman in our village. But girl, before the ugly words, you have to behave yourself."

"What did the old man say? I think girl Qiuyu is following the rules. No one goes there on the mountain. If you say hello in the village, you are not allowed to go up the mountain, so no one dares to go. That girl, I heard you Has it been a big cat?"

"Grandma Songzi, where is the tiger? It's a big wild cat, the wild cat cub left by Tie Niu before, yellow hair, that thing looks good, so I keep it."

"Oh, it's a wild cat. I just said that you girl won't be so courageous. In this way, I will be looking for a puppy in the village in two days. It's better to raise a wolf dog."

"That's a good relationship. Grandma has to save me a bit more vicious one."

"Okay, this bag is on me."

"Then I won't bother the village chief's grandfather and grandma. I'll go back first. It's getting dark and the road on the mountain will be difficult to walk."

"Come on, let's go back, pay attention to your steps, you have to go to town tomorrow, so go back early to rest, and gather at the entrance of the village at Maoshi."

"Well, remember, I'll be there on time tomorrow!"

As soon as Su Qiuyu left, the village chief smoked the smoke and watched his wife happily pick up the pheasants, so he couldn't help but said:

"This girl is smart and polite. The Su family has been making too much noise recently. I don't think it's a serious thing to be a concubine. In our village, they like to give their daughters to others to ruin."

"No, this girl would rather keep the festival than marry. It is indeed her duty. In the future, old man, you should take care of her more."

"You old woman, if I give you a pheasant, you can speak well of others."

"Bullshit, look at the people in the village who are doing things. Who is as generous as that girl? This girl used to be incomprehensible. I didn't expect that she would be able to behave in the world after she got married."

"Hey, I have experienced some things, so I should stand up by myself. Okay, let's eat."

"Eh!"
