Chapter 275 Marrying Empty-Handed
Moreover, according to her understanding, the management of merchants in this dynasty was not very strict, and as long as the business was not too big, the children in the family could take the imperial examinations.
Her snack shop is just a small business.
It does not affect children's scientific examinations at all.
If there were an extremely smart guy among the brothers, wouldn’t our family have to change its fate?
It’s not a loss no matter what.
Unfortunately, girls were not allowed to go to school, so my two sisters could not go.
There were no female teachers in the small town, and even if there were, they had all been hired by wealthy families, so there was no chance for them to have one.
As he was thinking, Jiang Fubao fell asleep in the recliner.
at the same time.
The home of Widow Liu in Jiangjia Village was packed with people.
After paying homage to heaven and earth, the couple were sent to the bridal chamber.
Jiang Zhuzi was so impatient that he wanted to have sex right away.
Unfortunately, he was dragged out for drinks by some of his friends.
What they drank was not good wine, but sour wine made from brown rice. It tasted terrible and had a low alcohol content. The can was the size of a head and sold for only twenty cents a can.
Jiang Zhuzi begged for a long time before Widow Liu reluctantly bought three cans the day before the wedding.
Jiang Tongtu, who was sitting at the main table with his grandfather, looked at them with his eyes wide open.
He always kept in mind the tasks assigned by his sister.
Even though he's looking around, he's very fast at grabbing food.
The village is poor.
As soon as a dish is served on the table, it is immediately snatched away.
So much so that after eating for a long time, there were only plates on the table, but no food.
If you don’t know, you would think they are eating air.
But everyone seems to be used to it.
When the food is served, everyone starts to grab it. After eating, everyone starts to chat and everyone is happy.
"Did you see that? Widow Liu's daughter-in-law didn't bring anything with her, not even a blanket. So, she came in empty-handed?"
"That's right. Look, Widow Liu's face has fallen. This is five taels of silver. I have lived for half my life and I have never heard of anyone asking for so much silver to marry off their daughter. How come she is made of gold? Tsk tsk, I think she looks just so-so, not as pretty as Zhou Yuanyuan from Zhoujiacun."
"Don't mention Zhou Yuanyuan, don't you know? Zhang's eldest grandson was almost deceived by that whore. She was pregnant. If she really married in, wouldn't Tong Jin become a cuckold? Hush, clan leader, look here, don't mention the Zhou family."
The three old ladies who were gossiping quickly shut up.
Jiang Tongtu felt a little ashamed.
Their voices are too loud.
He heard it clearly, how could grandpa not hear it?
Probably because he was afraid of embarrassing them, Jiang Shoujia turned his head and started talking to an old man of the same age next to him.
Jiang Tongtu found Ma Chunxia in the crowd.
He walked over quietly, pretending to squat on the ground playing in the mud, but actually eavesdropping.
Widow Liu is stingy.
There were only six dishes on the table, all of them were vegetarian.
The meal lasted an hour, and for most of the hour the villagers were looking at the empty tables and chatting.
It was past noon.
The men left first, carrying the bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs that they had lent out.
The woman stayed to help wash the dishes.
Sun Xiaotao, who was sitting in the room, looked unhappy.
This shabby house is not even as good as her home.
The roof is covered with dense spider webs, and the sunlight can shine in through the gaps in the roof. This would be a bad thing if it rains.
I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night.
The light caught the rain.
Moreover, there were no gravel on the floor of the house.
It's all mud.
The cloth shoes she had made had only been half a year when they became dirty.
"Wife, I'm here. I've been sitting on the bed all day. Are you tired? Are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and get you a bowl of rice, shall I?"
Jiang Zhuzi has only had a few drinks, so his alcohol tolerance is very poor.
He was already half drunk and his walk was unsteady, but he could not forget his wedding night with Sun Xiaotao.
"hungry."
Jiang Zhuzi's hands froze as he was taking off his clothes.
He didn't expect that Sun Xiaotao really wanted to eat it.
"Um, okay, I'll go get you some food." Jiang Zhuzi held back his anger and staggered out again.
"Mom, is there any food left? Xiaotao is hungry."
He shouted at the top of his lungs.
"There's no food. They've all eaten. There's only some vegetable soup left in the pot. You can ask her to eat tomorrow. What new bride is so greedy that she's clamoring for food before the wedding night? I've never seen such a thing before."
Widow Liu was very resentful because Sun Xiaotao did not bring any dowry.
As a result, he didn't treat his son well.
"You can't let her starve, mother. You are such a fool. Why don't you serve her a separate bowl? You know I can't leave. How about adding some water to the soup, stirring it, and calling it soup? Serve me a bowl and I'll give it to Xiaotao. She's too hungry to have any strength, and I don't have the heart to torment her."
Being drunk, Jiang Zhuzi started to talk dirty.
The words that Widow Liu was about to say were choked.
"You little brat, it's not even dark yet, be careful not to let that little goblin suck all your energy away. Okay, go back first, I'll bring the soup to her right away. Look at you, you reek of alcohol. In order to marry her for you, we've spent all our savings, and we still have to buy you wine. If it weren't for the income from the bamboo bank, we wouldn't even be able to afford brown rice..."
Halfway through her mumbling, Widow Liu looked up and found that her son was missing.
She was so angry that she smashed the spatula in her hand and cursed at the air: "Humph, I'll bother you again tomorrow, you little devil, you really think your thing is made of gold, if you don't give me a grandson, I'll torture you to death."
One minute later.
She picked up a bowl of pot washing water and went to her son's bedroom.
"Hey, drink the soup. We've finished the meal and there's only this little soup left. Drink it and get up early tomorrow. Before you go out, your mother should have taught you how to be a wife, right?
From now on, the housework will be handed over to you. I am old enough to enjoy my life. Now that I have helped Zhuzi find a wife, I will feel at ease. Zhuzi, don't sleep too late and take care of yourself. "
After giving their instructions, Widow Liu turned around and left, even considerately closing the door for them.
Sun Xiaotao looked at the soup in the bowl, which looked like water from a pot.
Too nauseous to drink.
She clearly remembered that there seemed to be no soup at today's banquet.
I don’t know what this bowl of yellow and black water is.
Her face turned cold.
"What does your mother mean by this? I just got married and you're giving me a cold shoulder. What? Do you really think I'm easy to bully? I'm telling you, Jiang Zhuzi, if you don't want to marry me, just send me back! Who wants to marry you? What did you say to me when you came to my house? Was it all bullshit?"
At worst, we can just get a divorce. Anyway, I am still a virgin, and there must be a lot of people lining up to marry me. If you bully me, I will go back to my parents' home and never come back."
Sun Xiaotao grew up being spoiled.
His temper isn't much better.
She smashed the bowl in her hand to the ground, and Jiang Zhuzi sobered up immediately.
