Chapter 16: The matchmaker arrives

When the two mothers-in-law saw Qiaolian coming out of the house, their eyes suddenly lit up.

No wonder people say that the little widow of the old Qu family in Shijiagou is handsome, but it's really true.

Look at how rare this little person is, there is no such handsome little daughter-in-law in ten miles and eight towns. No wonder some people never forget it when they see her, and ask people to inquire everywhere.

"Hey, this is the nephew and daughter-in-law of the old Qu family, right? Look, it's so handsome.

I am from the other end of Lihuagou in our village, surnamed He, and today I was entrusted by others to discuss something with my nephew and daughter-in-law. ”

Among the two mothers-in-law, the woman with a round face and small eyes who spoke with a smile spoke first.

Qiao Lian felt a little strange, she didn't know this person, what did she come to the house to discuss with her?

"Oh, Aunt He, come into the house and sit down and talk."

The person who comes is a guest, no matter what he came for, he can't discuss things at the gate, and it is a serious way to invite someone to come in and talk.

The two mothers-in-law were not polite, and followed Qiaolian into the house, and when they saw the firewood stuffed at the bottom of the pot, they knew that they were about to cook.

Jiakang Jiayuan and the two of them were a little curious when they saw someone they didn't know entering the door, staring at the two mothers-in-law with big eyes, and looking at them vigorously.

"Jiakang Jiayuan, you two go out to play with Xiaohuzi for a while, wait for your mother to cook, and your mother will talk to the two grandmothers first."

I don't know what these two people wanted to discuss when they came over, Qiaolian didn't want her son and daughter to hear it, so she sent the two children to Hu's house to play with Xiaohuzi.

Jiakang Jiayuan is still young after all, and she follows her mother up the mountain to work every day, and she has no time to play.

When the children went out, Qiaolian brought two bowls of water and put them in front of the two mothers-in-law.

"I don't have tea at home, I'm really embarrassed, the two aunts drink white water to quench their thirst."

The water quality here in Shijiagou is particularly good, so basically no one drinks tea.

When the weather is warm, they all draw water directly from the well and drink it directly, such as when it is cold today, Qiaolian specially got a kettle to boil water to drink.

She wasn't sure if there was a thermos at this time, and she didn't dare to cause trouble too much, so there was no thermos at home.

Of course, there is no tea, so it would be nice to have someone serve a bowl of boiled water.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, don't be busy, come, let's sit down and talk, I have something important to tell you."

The mother-in-law surnamed He kept a smile on her face, and stretched out her hand to pull Qiaolian to sit down, looking very close and not seeing her outside.

"Everyone knows that your man has been out for four or five years and has not heard from him, and to say something unpleasant, it is estimated that he has long been gone.

To say that you have been staying in the Qu family, giving birth to children to their family, and serving Qu's eldest brother and sister-in-law, and sending them to the end of their old age, it is indeed worthy of their family.

Now it's nothing if you want to take another step, you're still young, how can you live like this for the rest of your life? ”

"No, the big guys have heard that you want to find another one.

I'm also warm-hearted, and someone happened to come to me, begging me to come and talk to my nephew and daughter-in-law, and someone wanted to marry my nephew and daughter-in-law.

This person is the best, Lihuagou is a well-known diligent person, have you heard of the boss of the Zhao family? That's a good way to farm. ”

"I used to work as a long-term worker for the big landlord's family in Lihuagou, but what about the head, when it comes to the boss of the Zhao family, who doesn't know his name?

Now that he has been liberated, the poor have turned over and become the masters, and this year the land has been divided, and with his ability, within three or five years, life will definitely be prosperous. ”

"It's a pity, this Boss Zhao is Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he hasn't said anything about his daughter-in-law.

At the beginning, the family was poor and couldn't afford to marry. This is not? There was a meeting in the village that day, and he fell in love with you when he saw you.

I just heard that you have the heart to find another family to marry, so you went to me and asked me to come over and say yes. Nephew and daughter-in-law, what do you think of this family affair? ”

This mother-in-law surnamed He should be a matchmaker, and she is called a slippery woman, and she didn't give Qiaolian a chance at all, so she said a lot of things like this.

Qiao Lian understood, but she couldn't interject, so she waited for Mrs. He to stop before she had a chance to speak.

"Auntie, who did you hear me say, I'm going to find another one? How could I not have known about it myself? ”

Qiaolian wondered, she never said that she wanted to marry again, who is talking nonsense?

"Auntie, I never said that I would look for it again, let alone that I haven't found the body of the child's father now, even if I really find it, I won't remarry casually.

The child is still young, I have to raise the child first. ”

He Pozi was stunned when she heard Qiaolian's words, "No, nephew and daughter-in-law, you can't say that this person doesn't count."

Now it's spread all over the village, and they all say that you want to find another family to remarry, why do you regret not agreeing now? How can there be such a thing? ”

He Pozi was a little unhappy, and her tone was accusatory.

Qiao Lian was a little angry, what is this? She never said that she wanted to remarry, why did it spread all over the village?

"Aunt He, who told you that I was going to remarry? Did I tell you that?

If I had told you in person before, I wanted to find another family to remarry, and today I said back, it would be because I went back on my word and didn't count.

But I've never seen you before, when have you ever heard me? ”

Who can Qiaolian's temper get used to? Why accuse her of something she obviously hasn't done?

At this time, Qiaolian can't wait to drive these two inexplicable mothers-in-law out directly, what are they? She didn't invite them.

Mrs. He and the other person beside her were a little surprised when they heard Qiaoyun's words.

"What? You don't want to remarry? How is this going to work?

You said that you are a young daughter-in-law, how difficult it is to live with two children, don't you have someone to rely on when you are young to find another one?

I'm kind enough to help you, why aren't you happy? ”

"This is Boss Zhao's mother-in-law, and they came over today just to talk to you.

The Zhao family is a family of duty, three generations of poor peasants, and the door style is also positive, and your Aunt Zhao is a well-known kind person in Lihuagou.

Such a good person, why don't you say you're not happy? Mrs. He pointed to the mother-in-law beside her who had a long face and was a little thin.

"Boss Zhao, don't look at his age, he has never married a daughter-in-law or a young man.

You've been married once and have two children, and people don't dislike you, why are you still picking?

If you want me to say, you should come down and forget such a good family matter, who can treat you badly? ”

He Pozi pursed her lips and looked Qiao Lian up and down again, with a look of Qiao Lian's hypocritical expression.

Qiao Lian's temper was not very good, and when she heard Mrs. He's words again, she exploded at that time.

"Aunt He, I see that you are old, respect you as an elder, let you come into the house to talk, don't kick your nose in the face.

I, Chen Qiaolian, am not a slave of anyone's family, I am an independent person, and I have the right to decide whether to marry or not, you don't have to worry about it. ”
