The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 17

When she came to the cornfield, Yingniang saw that weeds and corn seedlings were growing close to each other. At first she was a little worried, fearing that she would kill the corn seedlings while weeding the weeds.

When she put on a posture and started to hoe the grass, she realized that she was just worrying in vain.Because Yingniang's body is a veteran at work, her every move and demeanor are very sophisticated, and she can't believe the smoothness of the hoe.

Boming was a little surprised when he saw it, and he sighed that it was better, because Yingniang hoeed to the front in a while, and he was still behind.

"Yingniang, you can hoe better and faster than your mother. But don't work so hard, sit down and rest for a while." Bo Ming felt his waist sore when he hoeed for a while, so he felt that Yingniang must be very tired.

Unexpectedly, Yingniang turned around and smiled, "I don't feel tired at all." Then she groaned again, and quickly finished hoeing the field.

She saw that Birming's side had only been hoeing halfway, and she came over to help him hoe again.

Bo Ming became a little anxious, and urged him directly: "You'd better sit on the ground and rest for a while, don't be in a hurry to work."

Yingniang smiled at him, "No, we have to hoe the rest before dark. Parents will be happy to know."

It was only then that Bo Ming realized that Yingniang was trying to make her parents happy, and she was afraid that she would be compared to the girl brought by her parents later.Looking at Yingniang's positive appearance, he thought it was really cute, and he was just secretly happy, so he didn't say anything, and let her go.

When the sun went down, the rest of the corn field had been hoeed, and Yingniang and Bo Ming returned home with the hoe on their shoulders.

When they got home, the two of them were busy making dinner again, because the parents-in-law and the three younger brothers hadn't come back yet.After dinner was ready, the three younger brothers returned home together.

Zhongping didn't know what was going on, but seeing his eldest brother and sister-in-law put several dishes on the table, but his parents hadn't come home, he felt very strange, so he asked: "It's almost dark, why are parents still here?" Didn’t go home? How about I go to the field and shout, this is my own work, and no one is urging me to do it with a whip, so there is no need to work so hard.”

Bo Ming glanced outside the door, "You should go home soon, your parents are not in the cornfield, but went to Gujia Village to pick out girls for you. I heard that there are another batch of fleeing famine coming from the mountains."

Bo Ming spoke very normally, but Zhong Ping stared wide-eyed in shock as if he heard a thunderbolt, and stayed where he was. He couldn't understand what was going on for a while.

Ying Niang jokingly said: "Second brother, there will be a lady later, are you happy?"

"I..." Zhongping's face was as red as if he had applied heavy rouge, he was embarrassed and couldn't say anything.

At this time, Shuchang and Ji Wang ran over together, and said with a smile: "Ahaha, the second brother is going to marry a wife too! Is it going to be a bridal chamber tonight?"

"What nonsense, let's go!" When Zhong Ping spoke, he quickly picked up the gourd ladle to scoop up water to drink, to cover up his excitement and anxiety.

At this moment, both Shuchang and Ji Wang ran into the east wing, busy carrying the quilt to the other wing.

Zhong Ping came over and wondered: "What are you two doing? There is no mattress on the bed over there, only a layer of straw."

Ji Wang smiled and said: "Let's just use the straw, it's possible that my third brother and I will sleep with you tonight, and then we'll see how you bridal chamber?"

Zhong Ping was so ashamed of being provoked, he ran over and waved his fists, pretending to beat Ji Wang and Shu Chang.

At this moment, Father Xue and Yang Sanniang entered the yard, their faces seemed to be not very good-looking, and a girl with her head bowed tightly came in behind them.

Originally, the three brothers were having a good time, and Yingniang and Bo Ming were also watching the excitement, but now they didn't seem very happy to see their parents, so they stopped talking.

They all wanted to see what the girl they brought looked like, but this girl kept her head buried, as if she was afraid of seeing people.They could only see her short and thin figure, as thin as a bamboo pole.

Yingniang seemed to understand something, it must be after her in-laws left, all the good ones were picked out, and the girl brought back must be a little different from her in-laws.

Yang Sanniang went into the room with the purse containing the money, and said to herself, "At least it only costs fifty Wen."

Father Xue greeted Zhongping, "Second, this is the lady brought by your parents. Do you think it is okay? If you don't want her, you can send her back to your home village. There are still people who want her. Not Dad Mother is not careful to help you choose, but after we go, it will be too late, and this is the only one left."

Zhongping still doesn't quite understand what's wrong with this girl, isn't she just shorter and thinner?Could it be that his face is long and disabled?But the girl was almost buried her face up to her neck, and he couldn't see what her face looked like at all.

At this time Yang Sanniang came out of the room, "Zhaodi, raise your head and let my second child take a look. Don't worry, if he doesn't want it, after sending you back, someone else will still want it."

Zhao Di was so nervous that she clenched her hands into small fists and shook violently.She raised her head slowly, and opened her eyes in fear.

Everyone was stunned when they saw it.As far as her facial features are concerned, although there is nothing too outstanding, they are not ugly.If it's just mediocre looks, people don't know what to be happy at the moment, and it's great to find such a girl for fifty cents.

However, there was a large purple-red birthmark on her right face.Her face was originally thin and small. At first glance, this birthmark seemed to be so big that it would take up half of her face.

In fact, Yingniang had a good friend in her previous life who had a birthmark on her face. When she first met her, she really felt very uncomfortable, but after getting to know her for a long time, she didn't feel anything at all.And the other party is very easy to get along with, and they become friends who talk about everything.

Perhaps Yingniang was used to seeing her, so her shock was much lower than that of Birming and his brothers.After Zhong Ping looked at Zhaodi, his face was covered with grayness, it seemed that he was really dissatisfied.

Everyone remained silent, waiting for Zhongping to make a decision.But he hesitated to speak again, because Zhaodi was terrified and looked at him pitifully, he seemed to want to but couldn't bear it.

Father Xue coughed lightly, and said to Zhongping: "It's okay for me to look at it. It's pleasing to the eye if you look at it too much. As long as you have a good heart and a sincere person, that's enough. However, it depends on yourself. If you really don't like it, your parents won't force it to you."

Zhongping was fighting fiercely in his heart. If he didn't want it, his family didn't have the money to arrange a good marriage for him. He was afraid that if he survived the next year, he would have to find someone so-so. Then he would have to borrow money from everywhere, and it would take several years. Only then can we pay off.Isn't the older brother marrying the older sister a waste of food and money that the family has saved for several years?

If he wanted it, he took another look at Zhaodi, and sighed again in his heart, if only there was no big purple-red birthmark.

Knowing that everyone disliked her, Zhao Di felt aggrieved, and burst into tears, but she didn't dare to cry, she bit her lips tightly, and her whole body trembled.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Zhong Ping softened his heart, took a breath, and said, "That's it, don't send it back."

Seeing that his second brother had already made a decision, Bo Ming greeted everyone, "Come and eat, if you don't eat, it will be cold."
