Chapter 80

After dinner at her natal home, Ding Xiang and Da Shan were ready to go home.

Because He was worried that his daughter and son-in-law would go out at night, he and Haitang made dinner early, and Ding Xiang and Da Shan didn't see the sun set until after dinner.Now the two of them were walking home, the sky had just darkened, and there were many people passing by on the road.

It's just that Ding Xiang kept silent all the way, and forgot to say hello to the acquaintances who passed by, which was not in line with Ding Xiang's usual behavior.

Seeing that there was something wrong with Dingxiang, Dashan asked: "Dingxiang, do you have any worries in your heart? I see that your natal family is doing well now, and there will be a new house to live in soon. Zikui can also earn money to supplement the family. You don't need to worry about your natal family. life is worrying."

Ding Xiang shook her head and said: "I don't worry about the life of my natal family at all. After all, after the house is built, there are still nearly three taels of silver left. Don't say that you don't have to worry about the new year, even the whole year of the coming year. The land is working hard, and Zikui earns a lot of money, and the cost of food and clothing must be much higher than in previous years. But it is not without regrets if we are full and warm. The marriage of the three of us is only me. , nothing went wrong, it's just that I broke my leg before I got married. As for my sister's bad things, I don't need to talk about it. I still don't know what will happen. But now Zikui's matter is troublesome again. She has fallen in love with a rich kid who is knowledgeable and assertive. How can she climb to the top? With Zikui's reckless temper, ignorance of the world and the rules of the big family, can she get along with that arrogant scholar? But she has already put this person in her heart, and it will be very painful to let go. "

Dashan only thinks that if he likes someone, he must work hard to make him happy. As for whether his temperament is compatible or his family background is not compatible, he feels that it is not the most important thing.

"Ding Xiang, as long as that scholar likes purple sunflowers, it will be a matter of course. Women will marry high, and men will marry low, and purple sunflowers are not unworthy of him. But... you are not married high, I You didn't marry at a low price, so I think it's a disadvantage for you to marry me." Dashan felt embarrassed when he said this, scratching the back of his head with his hands.

Ding Xiang thought it was funny, "Look, you think I will suffer from marrying you. If that scholar will fall in love with Zikui one day, wouldn't he feel that he is at a disadvantage because he likes Zikui? I hope that scholar has a long-term vision. They also have a broad mind, so they don't have such narrow minds, but their temperaments are too different, and their knowledge and life attitudes are also completely different. Can such two people get together? Can that scholar like Zikui? Well, that's what worries me the most."

When Ding Xiang said this, Da Shan also felt that this matter was very difficult, "As for whether the temperament is compatible, you can only know if you get along with each other. Besides, there are quite a few couples with compatible temperaments. But whether the scholar can like Zikui is not up to us. It's not Zikui who can control it. It depends on the fate of the two of them. Fate is destined, and people can't force it. Don't worry too much about Zikui. It's normal not to get someone you like. Some setbacks will make you stronger in the future, don't you think?"

Ding Xiang smiled and nodded, feeling that what Da Shan said made sense.

Dashan said again: "My brother has suffered setbacks, but he has come out now, and he has fallen in love with your sister. He has completely let go of the past, and this time he knows how to cherish it even more. I believe he will never let it go easily. Given the chance, I will find a way to be with your sister no matter what. In this way, don't you have to worry about your sister and Zikui?"

Ding Xiang looked at Da Shan curiously. It turned out that he was going around to persuade her not to worry and to relieve her worries. Unexpectedly, he really smoothed everything out.

Dashan blushed again, "I... did I say something wrong?"

Ding Xiang smiled warmly at him, "I hope you will always be so willing to take care of my worries in the future. I am really relieved to hear what you say."

Dashan smiled innocently, "Are you really relieved? Not only will I be willing to spend my time for you in the future, I will be willing to spend my time for you in this life. If you are not for you, you are my wife. As the old saying goes, only Useless men don't know how to love their women, and even reprimand and beat them. A useful man will find ways to coax his parents, love his wife, take care of his children, and live a smooth life. I want to be a useful man, a man you can look up to, okay?"

Ding Xiang laughed and felt that Dashan was getting more and more interesting, and said with a smile: "You are a useful man, I not only look up to you, I almost admire you to death, you are so smooth-tongued to coax people to death."

Dashan also laughed, "You don't know that, the more honest a man is, the more thoughtful he is, and he may not be honest with others. People like me who like to play tricks just because they think of these things will say Come on, I really want to be a good man, you have to trust me."

"I believe you, you say this more and more." Ding Xiang kept smiling and striding home.

As they approached the village, the two of them saw Wei Dahai wandering around the entrance of the village. Dashan was quite surprised, wondering what his elder brother was doing wandering around the entrance of the village.Ding Xiang could see through Wei Dahai's mind, she felt that Wei Dahai must be anxious to know if Haitang would reject him, so she couldn't wait and waited for them both at the entrance of the village.

Furthermore, no matter what the message he brings, he has to digest his emotions outside. He doesn't want to go home and let his parents see what he has. If he can't hold back his emotions, his parents will also be worried.

Over the years, Wei Dahai has also known that his parents have suffered a lot, and his parents have worried and worried about his affairs, so he has learned to cover up as soon as he can.

Wei Dahai came forward, just looked at the two of them anxiously, without asking a word.

Ding Xiang hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be impatient. My sister said she would think about it. What she is most worried about is whether her parents, relatives, and people around can tolerate her, and she is also worried about the situation after the child is born. She has to think carefully about it." It’s also understandable.”

This news was not very good news, but Wei Dahai was extremely excited, his eyes were shining, his mouth was trembling and he couldn't speak, but it could be seen from the expression on his face that he was very pleasantly surprised!

Perhaps, he thought that Haitang would definitely refuse, and would ask Ding Xiang to bring him a message, so that he would never even think about it!Although Haitang really meant that at the time, but with Lilac and Dashan dealing with each other, Wei Dahai suddenly felt that there was hope in front of him, because he felt that Haitang didn't reject it outright, that means he was more or less in his heart.

Haitang has him in her heart, which is more important than anything else!He was so happy that he didn't know what to do, and because his hands were trembling, he rubbed them unconsciously, and said incoherently, "I... Haitang... Haitang, she received her hairpin? She... Did she... did she ..., Lilac, I... I thank you..."

Seeing that his elder brother was at a loss and was still talking incoherently, Dashan joked, "Brother, you are promising. Sister Haitang didn't say that she would marry you, she just said that she would consider it. You are so excited that you don't know where to go. The most urgent thing now is to convince Dad Mother, you have to find a way."

"Yes, what the second brother said... This is not wrong, I will find a way to convince my parents."

"Then Ding Xiang and I will go home first, and you can enjoy yourself here."

After returning home, Ding Xiang handed over all the money from selling the goods to her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law was very happy and stopped mentioning that the money was not enough for five taels of silver to prepare for the bride price. It's more than two, if the Furong family thinks there are too few, they will go to other people to propose marriage, and Furong is not the only girl.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was happy, Ding Xiang didn't insist on saying that Wei Dahai would not marry Fu Rong, and felt that the opportunity had come, so she cautiously probed and said: "Mother must have guessed that the girl that elder brother likes will not reject elder brother, so let's relax. ?”

Mrs. Hu said with a smile: "Yes, Dahai has a girl he likes in his heart. I don’t want to spend money to see the cold face of Fu Rong’s family.”

Dashan and Dingxiang looked at each other, they didn't say anything, but they knew it in their hearts, their mothers attached great importance to the girl that the eldest brother liked, and in order for the eldest brother to get married earlier, the pair of women should be more tolerant.

Wei Dahai calmed down outside for a long time before returning home, but he still couldn't stop smiling when he got home.Mrs. Hu was a careful person, and felt that her son must have received good news.

Mrs. Hu pulled Wei Dahai aside, "Son, did someone bring you a letter? What did the girl say?"

"She said...she will think about it carefully, as long as she doesn't hate me, I'm lucky." Wei Dahai said happily.

Hu's brows also beamed with joy, "The girl said that she is happy if she thinks about it. Is it possible that someone will directly say that she is willing to marry you?"

Wei Dahai's eyes widened, "How can mother be sure that she is willing to think about it?"

"The girl's skin is thin, and my mother is also from here. How can I not understand the meaning of this?" Mrs. Hu said with a smile, "We will go to the girl's house early tomorrow morning to propose a marriage, and prepare more gifts. Look good. ?”

Now Wei Dahai's smiling face suddenly restrained, and he deliberately frowned for his mother to see.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Hu wondered, "People say we're thinking about it, so we can't wait at home, we have to go to her house to coax her parents, you son, don't delay things this time, hurry up Make it your own doll!"

Wei Dahai peeked at his mother's face, and said vaguely: "Mother, this girl I like... Maybe you don't like her."

"What? I don't like it? As long as you like it or not, why do I care? Besides, I don't look at whether the girl is beautiful, second, whether the girl's family is weak, and third, whether the girl is hardworking and capable. , as long as she is in good health and can give birth to a baby, it’s fine if she comes to our house and doesn’t go to our house and don’t hit or swear, I’m not picky, so don’t worry!” Hu said, patting her chest.

"Really...really?" Wei Dahai was still worried.

"Just tell me which family the girl is from." Hu hurriedly urged.

"She...she's not a girl anymore." Wei Dahai was finally willing to reveal something.

Hu was startled, isn't she a girl?Could it be... If someone was married, isn't that a widow?
Seeing his mother's astonished eyes, Wei Dahai's heart turned cold, "Your mother won't be happy to hear that, will you?"

Fearing that her son would be discouraged, Mrs. Hu hurriedly said: "It's...not that I don't like it. Widows, although they have been married,...but they are still women. Some widows know that they are married for the second time, but they are more diligent and capable. The husband's family took care of it, and managed the house very smoothly. It's just... marrying a widow to go home is ugly after all, son, you... do you really like her?"

Before Wei Dahai could reply, Mrs. Hu hurriedly said, "A widow who wants to get married has to be under the control of her in-laws. Does her in-laws agree to her remarriage? Has she ever had a baby? If she doesn't have a baby, her in-laws should I wish she could get married quickly."

"Mother, she is not a widow, she has never been married, so how can she have any parents-in-law?"

After hearing this, Hu couldn't understand even more, "Since she is not a widow or a girl, then she...she..."

Mrs. Hu was startled, could it be that his son fell in love with the girl in the brothel?That's right, he lived in the county for so many days, so he didn't really go to the brothel, did he? Could it be that her son has degenerated to such a degree?
"You are talking about..., no way!" Although Mrs. Hu is not picky about what kind of woman the eldest son likes, he will never allow such dirty women to enter Wei's house, so he yelled with a dark face, "This is absolutely not allowed! Unless all the unmarried women in this world are dead, I would rather you stay single for the rest of your life than marry this kind of woman into your house to humiliate your family!"

Wei Dahai thought that his mother had guessed that he liked Haitang, and when he heard his mother say Haitang, his face turned pale with anger on the spot, and he said loudly: "Mother, she also has difficulties, she was deceived by a man, she It’s hard enough for a woman to bear these things, and she also knew that she was too stupid to believe that man’s words, but she didn’t do anything outrageous, how can you say that about her?”

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Hu was even more convinced that he wanted to marry a brothel woman, and said angrily: "If I don't say that, what else can she say about her? It's her fault that she was cheated by a man, but she can't put those dirty Bring the water to our house! Also, if she enters our house and is not clean, she will hook up with other men, anyway, she is used to hanging out with men, so she doesn't care if those men are her husbands or not!"

Wei Dahai was trembling with anger at his mother's words, but he couldn't yell at his mother, so he had to kneel down on the ground, "Mother, I beg you, please don't hurt her with such words again, she It's not that you want to marry me, but now I want to beg her to marry me!"

Hu was even dizzy with anger. Seeing her son kneel down for her for that kind of woman, she suddenly raised her foot and kicked her son in the chest, "I don't have such an uneasy son like you, get out of here!"

Dashan and Dingxiang ran over when they heard the movement just now, and after listening to the conversation between Hu Shi and Wei Dahai, they both thought that Wei Dahai had explained the matter clearly.

Seeing the situation, Ding Xiang also knelt down in front of the Hu family, "Mother, I beg you, just follow the elder brother's wish. He has had a hard time these years. If he doesn't marry again, others will think he is a problem." No one dares to marry him."

"Ding Xiang, what are you messing around with? If you can't get married, you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life, and you can't let that kind of woman in!" Hu roared.

"Mother, please don't hurt my sister with these words. She really knew she was wrong. She also paid the price for her mistake and received all the eyes from everyone. She just refused because she knew you would not agree. When it came to this matter, it was me and Dashan who asked my sister to change her mind, saying that she was afraid that the elder brother would not be able to bear it, and she said she was thinking about it for the sake of the elder brother, but in fact, she was not in a rush to marry the elder brother."

As soon as Ding Xiang said this, Hu nearly fainted from fright, her eyes stared blankly, she stroked her chest, a little dazed for a moment, the eldest son doesn't like the brothel girls, but Haitang?What's happening here?She couldn't think anymore, Dashan saw that his mother was not in the right state, so he hurried forward to help her.

"Mother, don't be angry, don't worry. Everything is negotiable. If you don't agree, you don't agree. Brother can't force Miss Haitang to go home. You should sit down and have a cup of tea, and then think carefully for a few days before making a decision. , no one forced you to agree."

Da Shan helped his mother to sit down, poured tea for her, and patted her on the back to give her comfort.

Da Shan winked at Ding Xiang and his elder brother, meaning that this matter should be done slowly, and there was no need to rush, and told them to stop talking.

Wei Dashan was extremely disappointed at this time, not only because his mother's attitude made him unacceptable, but Ding Xiang's words made his heart hurt even more. It turned out that Haitang really rejected him outright, just because he was afraid that he would not be able to accept this. It was only after the fact that I changed my mind and said that I would consider it, but in the end I was still unwilling.

Dashan could also see the disheartened look on his brother's face, and he calmed down his mother for a while, thinking that his mother should be fine, and then whispered: "Mother, brother finally wanted to get married, and it's hard for me to get married. When you objected like this, you see, he was immediately discouraged. If this matter doesn't work out, it is estimated that he really doesn't want to get married in this life. "

When Dashan said this, his eyes suddenly rolled, and he said: "Of course, I still have to listen to my mother in this matter, and I can do whatever my mother says. It's okay if you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life. You can still live with your parents for the rest of your life. Dingxiang and I will separate from you sooner or later, and when the time comes, you and brother will eat and live together, and Dingxiang and I can rest assured that we will have a better life in the future without any worries."

Hu's face twitched, "What are you talking nonsense, how many years can your father and I live? Your brother is only 22, no... he is almost 23, but the days to come are still long, how can he live alone? Floating in the world like this without any children for a lifetime, and no one offers incense or worships after death?"

Dashan deliberately puffed his cheeks and said: "Mother, didn't you say that you want me to be a bachelor for the rest of my life? Why are you blaming me again? Brother doesn't listen to you, you are angry! I follow your wishes, and you are angry again!"

Hu felt that his mind was already in a mess, and he still hadn't been able to make room for his mind to think about Haitang.

"I have to think carefully about this matter. Don't kneel down. You should wash up and sleep. Dashan, help me into the house, and I will talk to your father carefully. I hope you don't scare your father."

Seeing that his mother was so frightened that his mind was unconscious, Da Shan thought that his father would be shocked when he heard about it, so he naturally wanted to go in and accompany him, and give his father some peace of mind, hoping that his father would not faint from the fright.
