The Red Chamber Collection

Wang Fuquan and Aunt Fan Nan have known each other for some years.It's not that Fan Nan doesn't know, but the sun and the moon at home are really difficult.I think that cotton is four or five years old, and has no clothes to wear, and is naked in summer.

Once, Auntie Fan Nan exchanged eggs for needles and threads. Seeing that her family was really poor, Wang Fuquan was moved for a moment, so he didn't ask for her eggs and gave them to her for nothing.

People are like this, with a grateful heart, they become enthusiastic.When Wang Fuquan came, he poured tea and brought a stool or something.After going back and forth, I got started.

Wang Fuquan occasionally subsidizes her.Make new clothes for Fan Mianmian, and sometimes give her a couple of bucks or something.

Fan Nan became suspicious and chatted with his wife at night.The mother-in-law does not admit it.Fan Nandao: "Who in the village doesn't know now?! My brother played the side drum for me last time, so I know about it. Do you still want to deny it?"

"I don't, don't pour dirty water on me!" said the auntie.

"Then be careful, don't let my brother and I catch it!"

The mother-in-law scolded him with snot and tears and said: "I live a poor life in your house. Since I came here, have you made me a dress? Look at you, you are so small, what do you have?" Ability? You have to be kind, you divorce me. Even if I am a sister-in-law, I don’t want to live in your family. My life is so hard, my old lady, you sold your daughter to this kind of family, I What evil did you do in your previous life!"

My aunt's father, in order to buy a bride price for her brother, betrothed him to Fan Nan, who was ten years older than her.The condition was that Fan Nandong borrowed money to collect five taels of silver as a dowry gift.

Fan Nan lost his temper after being scolded, and said, "Keep your voice down, don't wake up your daughter."

Auntie twitched quietly.Fan Nan sighed for a long time, and said again: "You should also save me some face, and carry someone behind your back!"

Hearing this, the auntie said firmly, "I didn't do anything wrong to you, I'm innocent with him!"

······

Wang Fuquan was drinking and getting excited, thinking of showing off to his friend, he said, "I'll tell him, see if we can add ten taels of silver."

Hearing what he said, Auntie quickly patted his hand and said, "It's already quite a lot, don't disturb it!"

Mian Mian was angry and refused to eat, and said in the room: "I've never seen you like this. In order to live a better life, you sold your daughter!"

The mother-in-law heard that she pulled her daughter out of the house: "You sit and eat for me. Seeing that you are getting worse and worse! Your father and I have never suffered. Do you still care about suffering? Isn't it all because of you? Look at your mother, marrying into your poor family surnamed Fan, how comfortable will it be?" The mother-in-law nodded her daughter with her finger and said, "You just don't understand! We want more or less now, and it's not all about you." of!"

Mian Mian murmured, "Then you can't marry me to the old man."

"You know what!" the aunt said, "What's wrong with the old man? The old man's life is better! There is meat to eat every day. In a few years, the old man will stretch his legs, and the family business will not be all yours! By then you will love it Suddenly, no one cares about you if you find a handsome man! Now if you don’t look for an old man, find a handsome one for you, and you will be poor for the rest of your life! Think about it carefully, does what mother said make sense?”

Mian Mian was familiar with Wang Fuquan, she glared at Wang Fuquan and said, "It's all because of my uncle!"

"Cotton, Uncle is doing it for your own good. If you don't want to, I'll send it back later."

"Yes, yes!" Fan Nan hurriedly said, he picked up his wine glass and touched Wang Fuquan.

"I only listen to Cotton's opinion, don't go back and blame me then." Wang Fuquan's tributary drank it up, and Fan Nan hurriedly filled it up for him.

"Then I just want to ask you, how old are those two girls?" Mian Mian picked up the chopsticks.

"One twelve, one fifteen, you don't care about her. The big ones are all settled. After the New Year, they will take them. The small ones will only be three or four years old. When you have children , all the family property is yours, no one will fight with you!" Wang Fuquan said: "You tell me, such a good thing, I think of you! What do you want to thank Uncle?"

Cotton laughed.Knowing the relationship between Wang Fuquan and her mother, she said, "Thank you, and it's my mother who thanks you! I didn't say yes, my mother forced me!"

Knowing Mianmian's weakness, Wang Fuquan took out the broken silver from his body, handed it to Mianmian and said, "Here, make new clothes and dress up beautifully. Shopkeeper Feng is not an ordinary person. He is here to see you!"

"How embarrassing to let you spend money!" Fan Nan said.

"Your uncle gave it to you, you take it!" Auntie stroked her daughter's head: "Look, your uncle treats you better than your father!"

Cotton smiled shyly, put away the money, and picked up Fan Nan's wine glass: "Uncle, thank you! I toast you! I'll make you a pair of insoles then."

······

Seemingly a happy marriage, the abacus is pulling in his arms, but things don't go according to people's wishes.Mian Mian got married smoothly, and shopkeeper Feng also gave Fan Nan 30 taels.However, later, shopkeeper Feng was fined and bankrupted, and Fan Nan and his wife regretted it unceasingly.A few years later, when Feng Renxiao fell ill and passed away, Wang Fuquan found another home for Mianmian, also to fill in the house.It's just that the male owner of this family is only in his thirties, has a few acres of land, lives with cotton, and loves him.

······

Let's say that Wang Fuquan went back and told Wang Fu'an that the matter has been settled.Wang Fuan felt relieved and hurriedly told Zijuan.Zijuan was happy, so she said to Daiyu: "Miss, it's all right. This Feng, I won't make trouble again."

"Oh? How could it be? He can be so good?" Daiyu looked at Zijuan strangely and said, "Zijuan, do you have something to hide from me? I see you have been talking about it for the past two days."

"No way!" Zijuan's eyes flashed against Daiyu's aggressive gaze, "What can I do that I have to hide from you?!"

Daiyu stood up and stared into Zicuckoo's eyes: "Don't hide, just look at me."

Zijuan glanced at Daiyu, and hurriedly avoided her eyes again: "Miss, what are you doing, you keep looking at me, I feel uncomfortable!"

"You're playing tricks in front of me again!" Daiyu said, "Be honest! I've been with me for so long, and I know very well whether you've lied or not."

"It's really nothing. I've been thinking for the past two days, how can I make things bigger!"

Daiyu looked at Zijuan's old dress, which hadn't been changed for a few days, and asked coldly, "Where did your clothes go?"

"I'm here. I'm at home. I'll wear something nice. I'm fine." Zijuan thought in her heart, and it seemed that she couldn't hide this matter.

"Open the box and show it to me!" Seeing Zijuan's guilty look, Daiyu asked again, "Did you pawn the clothes?"

Zicuckoo was speechless in shock.Seeing that the secret was revealed, he said: "The family needs money, and I will temporarily..."

"Is it because of me? What about the 50 taels of silver from shopkeeper Feng?" Daiyu interrupted Zijuan.Seeing Zijuan lowered her head, she understood: "You are stupid, why should we give him money? Which clause in the contract stipulates that he should pay? Don't give it to him, you ask Li Xiao to redeem the clothes."

"Miss, the money has already been given to him!"

"Ah?" Daiyu opened her mouth, unable to react for a long time.She thought about it again, and asked suspiciously: "You are talking nonsense! Where did you get so much money? How much is your clothes worth?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Zijuan poured beans into the bamboo tube and told the whole story from beginning to end.Daiyu stood there with tears in her eyes.Zijuan panicked, thinking that Daiyu was still angry with her, so she said, "Miss, don't be sad, I'm doing this for your own good. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I know I was wrong, and I will definitely discuss it with you next time. "

Daiyu didn't speak, took out her own clothes from the room, handed them to Zijuan and said, "Change your clothes!"

"Miss, no need..."

"Zicuckoo, listen to me, you are married, you are still my girl. If you are disobedient, I will beat you!"

Seeing Daiyu's angry look, Zijuan burst out laughing.She had never seen Daiyu so serious.The lady still wants to hit me?When she was in Jia's mansion, she never said such a thing!How childish!
