New widow

"Bah, did your little girl say this?" Mrs. Du hit her daughter, but she refused: "Someone told me this, that is, the matchmaker. They passed by our door before me, and I went out to fetch water. , heard what they said.”

Mrs. Du knew that this was probably somewhat true, but Mrs. Du still tweaked her daughter: "Just stay at home and watch your brother carefully. When your brother celebrates the New Year, I will find something for him to do. Then you can Be careful, but don't go out."

"Mom, I know." This girl wanted to act coquettishly again, but Mrs. Du knew that the daughter of a small family would inevitably have to go out. Although the people in this village are simple, who knows if there are people who drank too much and acted in a drunken manner. The current plan is to ask the daughter not to go out first, or, after her son goes to the city, simply let the daughter and the younger son move to live nearby?

Mrs. Du talked with the children for a while, then changed into plain clothes and went to express her condolences to Mrs. Du. Wu Zuo had identified the corpse, so he naturally gave it to the victim. Liu Daniu built a shed at the end of the village and arranged a mourning hall there. When Du went there, Liu Daniu was wearing mourning clothes and burning paper in front of the spirit.

Mrs. Du walked into the shed and remembered that when her husband passed away, Mrs. Du came to express her condolences. Now, it was only three or four months ago, and everything turned upside down.

"Cousin." Liu Daniu waited for Mrs. Du to finish offering the incense to Mrs. Du, and then came over to say hello.

"You should handle this funeral well, but your marriage, I'm afraid..." Before Mrs. Du could finish her words, Liu Daniu said to Mrs. Du: "We have already discussed this with people. They said that since I am alone, simply

So he married Huangqin, and when his mother was over Qiqi, he took the new daughter-in-law over. "

It is common to get married to an unmarried woman. Mrs. Du only said oh, and Liu Daniu sighed: "It's a pity that my mother won't be able to see me get married." After saying that, Liu Daniu started crying again. Mrs. Du comforted Liu Daniu a few words, and the Liu family Naturally, someone came to help, and after a while, Aunt Du also sent someone to express her condolences.

Although Aunt Du sent her just as a mother-in-law, the scene was quite grand, and even the elders from the Liu family came out to greet her. Mrs. Du had seen a lot since she went to Aunt Wan's place, so she couldn't help but murmur a few words. Nothing else was said.

The woman came in surrounded by people and put incense on it. She didn't say hello to the people who came to express their condolences, she just sat there without moving. Liu Daniu personally served tea to the woman: "Please drink tea."

"Our aunt said that we were supposed to come in person, but there is something going on at home, so we can't come." The woman saw that the tea bowl was simple and the tea was not good, so she did not take the tea from Liu Daniu's hand. The long voice said this.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Daniu could only say yes. The woman looked up at Liu Daniu again and said, "There are five taels of silver here, given by our aunt."

"Thank you very much." Liu Daniu was short of money at the moment. Mrs. Du died in a hurry. The money was hidden there. Liu Daniu couldn't find it for a while, so he could only take the change he could find, but he couldn't find it. It's just a bag of broken silver. When weighed, it's less than three taels or a few strings of money.

First I bought a thin coffin, and then held the funeral here. After the funeral was completed, I slowly dug out the money and sent it over there.

, get a new wife.

When everyone saw that Aunt Du was willing to reward her with five taels of silver, they all exclaimed. After all, these five taels of silver were really a lot.

"I know you can't grow vegetables, but our aunt has said that we are always relatives. When you marry a wife, if your wife can grow vegetables, she will continue to send these vegetables." Having seen the world, I despise it in my heart, but I always have to finish my words.

"Thank you very much." Liu Daniu had nothing else to say except thank you. After all, what he was short of at the moment was money and his future livelihood.

"I'm leaving." Seeing that her business was done, the mother-in-law stood up and walked out. Liu Daniu hurriedly followed behind to see her off.

"Sure enough, the Shangshu Mansion is not as good as others. This gift is only five taels of silver." Some people were already talking there, and someone else smiled and said: "I heard that the floor in the Shangshu Mansion is covered with gold. This is Five taels of silver, what is it worth?”

Everyone was stunned when he said this: "The ground is paved with gold, so you are not afraid of slipping when you walk on it?"

Du Shi couldn't help but laugh: "It's not paved with gold, even the bricks, we haven't seen it before."

"Bricks are just green bricks and red bricks, so why should we separate them?" Someone was already saying there. It was almost time for Du to meet, Liu Daniu also walked in, and Du stood up and said goodbye: "I have to go back."

"Come to think of it, you are working in someone else's house right now. No wonder you know that the floor in Shangshu Mansion is not paved with gold." Seeing that Mrs. Du was about to leave, someone naturally stood up to see her off. In other words, I just went out. When I walked out, I bumped into a matchmaker.

And passed.

Mrs. Du thought of what Liu Daniu had just said, and thought that this matchmaker was here to discuss this matter. After all, to marry a stranger, you have to agree to it before you can marry her.

When Mrs. Du walked out of the shed, she saw someone standing not far from the shed. Seeing that the man was unfamiliar, Mrs. Du couldn't help but look at her twice. When the man saw Mrs. Du looking at her, he didn't shy away. Instead, he greeted Mrs. Du: "I see." When you come out from here, do you think you are a relative of this family?"

Du Shi nodded: "They are indeed relatives. The one who is gone is my aunt."

"It's such a pity for such a capable person." The man sighed. Du Shi wanted to say more when she saw the matchmaker coming out of the shed and said loudly to the man: "Come in, there are still discussions here."

It seemed that this person was a relative of Liu Daniu's daughter-in-law. As expected, the man smiled and said, "Liu Daniu's daughter-in-law is my cousin."

"So, we are all relatives." Mrs. Du said with a smile, and the man nodded: "Not only that, if this marriage can happen, it also has something to do with me."

Mrs. Du couldn't help but become more interested. Just when she was about to ask, the matchmaker urged her again.

The man responded, said something to Mrs. Du and walked into the shed. As soon as Du took a few steps forward, she heard a loud roar coming from the shed, and then the man walked out of the shed angrily, with the matchmaker still following behind the man: "Don't leave, let's discuss it carefully. "

Mrs. Du couldn't help but stretched out her hand to grab the matchmaker's sleeve: "What's going on?"

"Don't we want to marry Huangqin? As soon as he said that, this person dropped another sentence and said that he would never let his cousin marry like this, and then left."

After the matchmaker finished speaking, she hurried after the man.
