Nongmen Hot Girl: Matchmaker Pretty

Chapter 288 The Secret in the Old House

I don't know when, Shenjia Village began to favor boys over girls.When a baby boy is born in the family, they will definitely publicize it immediately with gongs and drums. They will also hold a big banquet when the child is born on the third full moon, and the whole village will come to celebrate.

However, if a girl is born in the family, the situation is different. The door of the house is locked, and people do not go out for seven or eight days, or even ten days and a half months, and stay at home every day.Because it would be embarrassing to go out!
This kind of atmosphere was nothing before, but in the past ten years or so, it has prevented the men in Shenjia Village from marrying wives.

There is no other reason, but it is said that it killed a young woman who had just given birth many years ago.

I heard that the girl got along very well with her husband at the beginning, and after she became pregnant, the husband even loved her as a treasure in his palm.However, the man and his family kept whispering in the girl's ears "You must give birth to a son" all day long, and they also said that if they could not give birth to a son, they would not be able to hold their heads up in the village.

If it were any other girl, maybe it would only go in one ear and out the other, but this girl was a bit heavy-hearted, and she really liked her husband in her heart, so she kept her husband's words in her heart, and secretly encouraged herself, Must have a son.

Finally, when it was time to give birth, the baby was born, but it didn't satisfy everyone because it was a girl.

It was a lie for the man to say that he was not disappointed, but before he could say anything, the girl who had just given birth actually covered the child to death with a small quilt when everyone was not paying attention.

Poor that beautiful little girl.

After all, it is my own daughter, how can the mother not be sad when the child dies?The girl tied a trouser belt around her neck, hung it on the window lattice and killed herself.

This incident caused a stir in Shenjia Village at the beginning, and spread to several nearby villages.

The girl's natal family was naturally unwilling, so they brought all the family members to the man's house, insisting on asking the man to give an explanation.

This man lost his wife and daughter for a while, and he was also very sad.Coupled with the disturbance of his natal family, he couldn't think about it, and he never came back after going out.

I heard that he jumped into the river, and some people said that they saw him in the town, he was all dirty, he would smile stupidly when he saw people, and he would call him daddy when he saw a little girl.

In short, the family of three failed to end well.

Shen Yao was still very young when this incident happened, so she doesn't remember all these things.The only thing she can remember is that her father, Shen Zhongnian, hugged her tightly, saying in a muffled voice that he would definitely raise her up so that her mother would not worry.

Shen Zhongnian did it, but he got sick and passed away before he could enjoy the blessing.

If he was still alive, he must be very glad that he gave birth to a daughter, because since that incident, it has become more difficult for men in Shenjia Village to marry a wife.

Shen Zijian was one of them, a 20-year-old man who didn't even come to propose marriage.Even if you spend your own money to hire a matchmaker, the girl's family immediately kicks out the matchmaker when she hears that it is a man from Shenjia Village.

However, there is another advantage for men not to be able to marry a daughter-in-law, that is, houses in the village are becoming less and less sought-after, and many new houses prepared for their sons are unusable, and more and more people are selling their houses. Then use the money from selling the house to hire a better matchmaker, or even go to a neighboring town to find a wife.

It is best to be as far away from Shenjia Village as possible, because they don't know the details of Shenjia Village, so they might be willing to marry their daughter over.

The family who sold the house to Yu Zhujun and Shen Yuhai was like this. None of the two sons in the family could marry a wife.It is really sad that several new houses in the family are useless.

The price has been negotiated before, so now go directly to the village chief's house to get the land deed and money settled.

Ever since it was revealed that Shen Yao was the matchmaker Xiao Taohua, her status in Shenjia Village has risen.Not wanting to get too entangled with those snobby villagers, she quietly returned to her old house in Shenjia Village with He Lianyi without disturbing anyone.

Shen Yao's old house is not close to Shen's house, and it looks a bit remote.

I haven't been back for half a year, and the house is a little more dilapidated than my impression. The roof is covered with thatch, swaying in the wind, as if declaring its own sovereignty.

When she came back again, Shen Yao felt depressed for no reason, and some dusty memories burst out like a blowout.

"Oh!"

Because the memory came too suddenly, Shen Yao's head hurts badly.

Ever since she transmigrated into this body, she lost some memories of the original owner.Only when she sees familiar things or people, will she associate some related memories.

When she went back to Shenjia Village last time, she actually planned to come back to take a look, but what happened with Yu Zhujun and Wan'er later, she was so focused on taking the two girls away that she forgot to go home and take a look.

As soon as I came today, I really remembered a lot of things!
He Lianyi was always by her side, seeing her like this, quickly and carefully supported her, and asked, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yao pressed her temple in pain, and shook her head again and again: "It's okay, I just remembered some things from the past, and suddenly I have a headache."

She didn't tell He Lianyi about the past, so he actually didn't know what she had experienced before, including her parents.

In fact, it was a matter of little effort for him to send people to investigate these things, but everyone has their own privacy, and he didn't want to investigate Shen Yao like investigating others.

Just like now, why did Shen Yao have a headache when she returned to her home, and said she remembered something.Did she forget something before?

"Since you have a headache, stop thinking about it."

Slow down, Shen Yao is already much better.It may be that he touched his head when he was strangled by Chen Xiang'e before, so he hid some memories.

But when she found out that it was so painful, she seemed to remember a lot of things from the past.

"It's okay, maybe I haven't been back for a long time, and I miss this place a bit. Let's go, let's go in! See if they have emptied the house for me."

Of course they mean that Shen Zhongcai has a family.

After Shen Zhongnian passed away, the two couples took Shen Yao into their home with sweet words, and secretly occupied Shen Yao's house.If Shen Yao hadn't called at the door later, I'm afraid they wouldn't have returned the house so easily.

The home is still vaguely the same as before, but if you look closely, some things have been replaced.

Shen Yao laughed at herself while walking: "The locks on this cabinet are broken, and the clothes here, huh, my father and mother's old clothes are all messed up. Huh? What about this one?" A hole? Ah, it must have been worn by Mrs. Ma secretly."

Shen Yao's mother, Yao Shi, was a great beauty when she was alive, with a slender figure, fair complexion, beautiful skin and long legs.Shen Zhongnian loves his wife dearly, and every year he buys some beautiful flowered cloth for her to make clothes.

But Yao's ingenuity is so ingenious that every time the clothes she makes are very beautiful, many girls and daughters-in-law in Shenjia Village make clothes for themselves after her clothes.

But when they wear it, they are definitely not as good-looking as Yao Shi's clothes.

In the clip that Shen Yao just recalled, there are many shadows of her mother.Of course, this was not what she saw, but what her father Shen Zhongnian told her, and then she imagined it herself.

The clothes worn by Mrs. Ma were put back in the cabinet, presumably seeing Shen Yao's prosperity, and felt that she needed something, so she hurriedly sent them back.

Except for these few clothes, there are quite a lot of things that were sent back, nothing more than tables, chairs and benches, even the pots and pans in the kitchen were stained with oil, and there were even sticks that hadn't been cleaned in time. .

Mrs. Ma is a lazy person. Before the family was separated, Yu Zhujun did all the housework. Now there are no other women in the family, so she can only do it by herself.

As a result, I haven't even washed the dishes!

With a snort, Shen Yao put those dirty bowls aside in disgust.

Suddenly, she paused, walked quickly into the room, but stopped at the door in a daze.

He Lianyi also followed, seeing that her expression was not right, he gently took her hand.

Shen Yao's eyes scanned the room, and finally settled on a broken brick in the corner.

This room was the room where Shen Yao's father lived. After the house was occupied by Shen Zijian, he felt that it was inauspicious for someone to die in this room, so he never came in to live in it, so the furnishings in this room were hardly touched.

Fortunately, they taboo these things, otherwise Shen Yao's things hidden here would be discovered.

When she saw those bricks in the kitchen, she suddenly remembered that she had hidden things here.

Shen Yao walked over quickly, squatted in the corner, brought the broken brick, stretched her little hand in and touched it, it was indeed empty!
After touching for a long time, Shen Yao took out a tin box from inside.

The moment she saw the box, Shen Yao's memories flooded out like a tide.

"Daughter, this was brought by your mother when I got married. Your mother said that she wanted to keep it for her daughter. Daddy gave it to you. The things inside are what your mother left for you. Daddy, are you right? I lived with your mother, and I couldn’t bring her back until I died. Alas, if you can’t live on by yourself in the future, you can take the contents to Yao’s house in the capital. For your mother's sake, I can take care of you..."

This was what Shen Zhongnian told her while holding her hand before he died, and he didn't say anything more about the others.

When Shen Yao wanted to ask again, it happened that Shen Zhongcai and Mrs. Ma ran over to pretend to ask about their health, and Shen Yao also forgot about it.

Seeing this tin box now, Shen Yao's curiosity was immediately aroused.

He Lianyi obviously didn't expect Shen Yao to take something out from the crack in the wall, and couldn't help asking: "What is this?"

To be exact, Shen Yao didn't know what was there.

There is a small lock on the box, the key has long been lost by the original owner.

But this does not affect Shen Yao from opening it, with He Lianyi around, it is not a problem to open a small copper lock.

Finally able to show his masculine charm in front of the woman he loves, He Lianyi exerted all his internal strength, and with a slight bend, the copper lock snapped open.

He Lianyi immediately beamed with joy, waiting for Shen Yao to hold her in admiration and praise, but saw that she put the lock aside very calmly, and then opened the box as if nothing had happened, as if He Lianyi hadn't done anything at all just now Things that are earth-shattering and worthy of praise are ordinary.

He Lianyi curled his lips in frustration, feeling aggrieved for not being praised.

There are not many things in the box, Shen Yao looked through it casually, and said: "My father gave it to me when he was dying, and said it was my mother who gave it to me."

As for the sentence that if you can't get along, go to the Shen's house in the capital to find her grandmother, she didn't tell He Lianyi.Because she can't get along now, and she doesn't know what kind of festivals her mother has with her grandmother's family, and they didn't even come to such a serious matter as death.

More importantly, after his mother passed away, Shen Zhongnian never took her to the capital to find relatives.

After seeing Shen Zhongcai's best of Ma's family and the scum of Meng's family in Xingfu Village, Shen Yao didn't like Yao's natal family anymore.Therefore, even if she really can't make it through now, she won't go to the capital to meet her relatives.

"what is this?"

He Lianyi took out a piece of old paper from the box, with the names of many medicinal materials written on it, which was obviously a prescription.But what effect this prescription has, it is not written.

There are very few things in the box, except for some jewelry, and a jade pendant that is not very conspicuous, so this piece of paper is particularly eye-catching.

Shen Yao poked her head over to take a look, her face suddenly changed, and a strange thing that Shen Zhongnian did when she was alive came into view again.

　I'm sorry everyone, I have something at home and no one is watching the children. I went home to watch the children temporarily last night, so I don't have time to code words. I have to go to work today. I will upload some first and try to write a second update at night. I love you~
