The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 105 The Bought Child Bride ([-]) (Part [-])
A few days after the Wang family left, the Bai family found someone to settle the marriage with the other party.

After the reconciliation, Bai Xiujuan, who helps out at home every day, has a lot of brilliance on her face. She also likes to talk and laugh a little on weekdays, and goes out to visit other people's homes when she has nothing to do.

In order to show that she was close to her parents, she even paid less attention to that younger sibling.

Seeing these changes in their daughter, the Bai family and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they did nothing wrong as parents with the Wang family and Li.

Autumn turns to winter, and it’s almost the New Year’s Eve in the blink of an eye.

But the Bai family couple still have one thing on their minds, and that is their daughter-in-law Lin Shu.

It is said that since this daughter-in-law gave birth to her second daughter, she seems to have changed.

She is indifferent to everyone, not very talkative, so she is more affectionate to her two daughters.

In Bai Lianshi's mind, she was always thinking about that day when Lin Shu put the sickle on her neck and threatened her.

She still remembers the latter's fierce eyes as if he really wanted to kill someone.

However, we all live in the village, and if we kick our daughter-in-law out of the house for no reason, people will gossip about it.

The two thought about it, but they couldn't think of any good way to deal with Lin Shu.

He could only watch her go out early and come back late every day, wandering around under his nose, and there was nothing he could do about her.

Until this day, a messenger came from the provincial capital, saying that it was sent by Bai Shisheng, the son of the Bai family in the city.

Hearing that their son had come to write a letter, the Bai family couple immediately took the envelope happily, went to the villager's house, and asked the scholar, who had been admitted to be a scholar in the past, to read the letter to them.

This villager is over [-] this year and has half of his gray hair. He likes to stroke his few sparse beards when he has nothing to do. His wise eyes don't look cloudy at all.

After getting the family letter brought by the Bai family couple, he opened it and took a look at it first. After reading the letter, he took a closer look at the Bai family couple.

The two people were a little puzzled by his glance, and they didn't know what was written in the letter.

Bai Lianshi was even more impatient, so she opened her mouth and asked, "Muramasa! What on earth did my family member say in the letter? Please read it quickly!"

I only heard Lao Cunzheng stroking his short beards in a calm manner, and said in a calm voice, "There are two things in this letter. One is that a new law has been promulgated in the city, and men will not Wearing long braids, women don’t have to bind their feet, and child brides don’t count. You have to make up for a wedding. The second is that your family said that he found an errand in the city, and he also found a Good friends, the other party is from the family of our young lady. Shisheng said that he plans to get married after the end of this year, and then he will send a four-wheeled car to pick you up and go to the city to attend the wedding, and enjoy the happiness by the way!"

After hearing these words, Bai Lianshi felt happy at first, her son was going to be successful!
But then her mind turned quickly again.

What is the meaning of the child bride and marriage that the son mentioned in the letter?

You know, in order to save money, she didn't hold any wedding banquet for her son and daughter-in-law. She just tore a piece of red cloth, covered her head and sent it to the bridal chamber.

Now my son wrote to say that the child brides-in-law who didn't have a banquet don't count?
And what kind of rich lady does he want to marry?

Then isn't this clearly telling her and her son that he is his father, asking them to quickly find a way to solve the burden on the family? !
After Bai Lianshi figured it out, Bai Zhengyuan beside him naturally also figured it out.

The couple looked at each other, mentally planning to kick them out when they both got home.

After reading the letter, Lao Cunzheng returned the letter to the two, and the Bai family couple thanked Lao Cunzheng repeatedly and went home in a hurry.

At this time, Lao Cunzheng's old wife came out from the inner room behind the curtain.

She glanced at the hurrying figure of the Bai family couple, looked at her wife curiously, and said, "These two people from the Bai family, why did they come to our house to look for you today?"

She didn't like the family very much.

This Bai Zhengyuan's family, I heard that the ancestors were some kind of big landlords, but if you have really dealt with this family, you will know how much this family can sting you.

But for those who hold weddings and weddings, their families don't pay if they don't have to pay, and even if they want to follow along, they can give the least as much as possible.

On weekdays, they can take advantage of every household's vegetable plots and dry goods hanging in front of their doors. Such small advantages are available to them.

Even on important matters such as marrying a wife, in order to save money, this family would go to the ditch behind the mountain and spend a few taels of silver to buy a little girl to be a child bride!

Tsk tsk... There is no one else who can do this for the sake of being a human being.

But these two couples are very willing to spend money on their son.

I heard that he sent his son to some new school in the city, but he is also looking forward to his son becoming a dragon.

In short, these two people in their family are always picky about everything, and I really can't like it if I teach her.

After hearing his old wife's questioning, Lao Cun was lying on his bamboo recliner, swaying and said, "Their precious son who went to the city, do you remember? This son wrote a letter to the old couple , these two are illiterate, so they came to ask me to read the letter."

Upon hearing this, Muramasa's old wife suddenly became interested.

"What did the letter say?"

"What else can I say? He said that Bai Shisheng had made a living in the city and had hooked up with a young lady from a wealthy family. He didn't like the poor wife in the family. I looked at the underlying meaning of his words, which was to make Bai Shisheng. The couple kicked that child bride out of the house!"

"What?" The old wife was shocked when she heard this.

She asked in amazement, "I remember that the child bride of the Bai family had been raised for five or six years after she brought her back, right? He gave birth to two daughters for the Bai family, right? Even if he didn't have a son, it was for his Bai family." Branches and leaves are scattered, how can you say that if you drive people away, you will drive them away!"

"Hmph! Let me tell you, the Bai family are all the same thing. They are not a family, and he can't join the same family! Don't look at Bai Shisheng who went to the city to study, and he looks like a dog, but All of his books were read into the dog's belly! He doesn't even understand what is etiquette, justice and shame, and what is the truth about never abandoning a wretched wife. How can such a person become successful in the future? Anyway, I don't believe it."

Lao Cunzheng started cursing again after talking.

When he entered school, it was not a good time.

After being selected as a scholar at first, it stands to reason that he should then go to the provincial capital to enter the Juren.

But the Qing government has fought too many useless battles over the years, causing foreign devils to ride on their heads.

He was so angry that he simply returned to his hometown and became a teacher. Of course, it was also because he failed the exam.

Later, when he was old and had some prestige in the village, he was elected as the village official by everyone.

About six years ago, the Qing Dynasty ordered the abolition of the imperial examinations, some new policies, the construction of new schools, and the use of foreign guns and cannons to fight foreign devils.

In his opinion, these things are useless!

Even a person like Bai Shisheng who has a bad reputation can be promoted by a high official in the provincial capital. From his point of view, the new government in this provincial capital may not last long.

He just lay on the chair and muttered something about "the mountains and rivers are declining, and the people's hearts are not the same as before."

His old wife also sat quietly by the side, bowing her head, doing her needlework, and listening to him carefully.
