When Zheng Lin was fifteen years old, she almost got engaged to Xu's niece.

At that time, wars broke out from the border and wars spread from the border to the entire Daqing at any time. The court prepared to defend the enemy in advance and recruited 300,000 troops from various prefectures.

There is one recruitment quota for the Zheng family, but Old Man Zheng is weak and will die on the road if he can't walk through the border. Zheng Shanqing and Zheng Shuiqing happened to be back and reaching the recruitment requirements. He then joined the army with the desire to be grateful.

After all, it was his own biological son. Even though Old Man Zheng and Meng were not as deep as the other two sons, they couldn't bear to go to the border to fight with the enemy, and they were even more worried that he would not come back as soon as he went. After discussing, the two decided to ask him for a wife, at least leave some blood before going to the border.

This kind of thing is very common after the conscription order is released, but once you go to the battlefield, it will be a life-and-death matter. Anyone who feels sorry for his daughter will not let his daughter take the risk of being a widow and betroth his daughter to someone like Zheng Lin who wants to join the army. Unless the family really can't get through, they will marry her daughter for the bride.

The Zheng family was not in good condition. At that time, Old Man Zheng and Meng sold all their belongings and barely raised five taels of silver. No one in the nearby villages exchanged their daughters for the five taels of silver, so Meng had to ask for help from her parents' family. Unfortunately, Xu had a niece in her parents' family.

Speaking of which, the wife Meng uncle originally decided not to be Xu, but to use the Zheng family to pay the betrothal gift for Meng. This fool was not lucky. Not long after the marriage was decided, a cold took her life. The Meng family had to decide that the family was poorer and looked even worse, and even the betrothal gift was only one or two taels of silver.

After Xu married into the Zheng family, her parents' family was still poor. What's worse was that her parents' sister-in-law gave birth to six daughters in one go. In order to have a son, she had to continue giving birth. She never thought that the six daughters in the family would be unable to support them.

Just when Xu's sister-in-law was pregnant with her seventh baby, the Xu family was so poor that they had no rice to make a pot, so they had the idea of ​​several daughters, wanting to exchange their daughter for money to make the whole family survive.

The Zheng family and the Xu family each had their own needs, so Xu made a move from it, intending to give her niece Mei Zi, to Zheng Lin. Of course, Meng also promised Xu that if Zheng Lin really couldn't come back, no matter whether Mei Zi could give birth to a child, she would not stop her from returning to her parents' home to remarry. No matter how Xu family calculated, she felt that her family had taken advantage of her and agreed without hesitation.

All this was carried out in secret, and no one told Zheng Lin in advance. When Zheng Lin knew about it, both families were preparing to exchange Geng Tie and organize the marriage at any time.

Zheng Lin didn't know if she could come back this time. When she learned that her parents had found a young wife for her, she felt that this was harming people and refused to agree no matter what. Finally, she put down her harsh words and forced Meng to give up the marriage of the Xu family.

Just for this, the Zheng family was forced to deduct two taels of silver on the grounds that the marriage was first and the reputation of his daughter was ruined.

God knows that the two families are preparing to take the bride, and no one has ever made any public statements, and there is no such thing as hindering reputation. But who made the Xu family thick-skinned and fearless? The Zheng family can only admit that they are unlucky and suffer this loss. For this, the Zheng and Meng families are also very embarrassed.

It would be fine if you don’t mention this matter now. When you mention uncle Meng, you became even more angry. You pointed at Xu’s nose and cursed: “Don’t mention your dilapidated family. When your parents failed to sell their daughter, they detained the eldest sister’s betrothal gift, which made me lose face. If the eldest sister hadn’t been generous and unwilling to care, I wouldn’t have the shame to see her.”

When the arrogant Xu heard this, his arrogance was half weak, but he still refuted to argue: "Your girl regrets getting married first, so can my parents' family ask for some compensation?"

Uncle Meng said sarcastically: "I don't know if the marriage has not been settled. Which marriage is regretting? What I want to compensate? Now that you mention this, isn't it just that my eldest sister's life is better? A Lin gave him the Yue family ten betrothal gift? Why, do you want your good niece to divorce her man? Then let her be together with A Lin?"

Xu is also in his forties and fifties, with a lot of children and grandchildren. He was sarcastic and sarcastic in front of the younger generations. He could not bear it. He sat on the ground and cried: "I have worked hard for your Meng family for decades, but I have no credit for it.

There are also hard work, and I still have to suffer this anger at the age of age. What is the point of living? What is the point of being a savage?”

When Xu's crying, her sons and daughters-in-law couldn't stand it anymore and rushed forward to comfort her: "Mom, don't cry anymore. You don't know your temper. He just said casually. Don't blame you really, don't take it to your heart."

"Yes, mom, it's all about old sesame and bad things. It's not worth it to cry for it. Who doesn't understand your goodness in our family? Even my father understands it in his heart and doesn't say it."

Seeing this, several sisters-in-law of Xu felt that Xu was not worried about anything, so they were not good at watching her. They squatted down and advised her: "Sister-in-law, you don't know about your uncle's temper. You just said harsh words when you were angry. I'm afraid you've regretted it long ago, so don't be sad."

Being surrounded by the gang, Xu consciously saved some face, but she did not get the weakness of her uncle Meng. She still refused to forgive her and continued to cry: "My brother and sister-in-law, I feel sad. The Zheng family regretted the marriage that he had agreed to back then. Otherwise, my sister-in-law would not have to worry about spreading it and ruining Meizi's reputation. She hurriedly promised Meizi, but she pushed Meizi into the fire pit. If the Zheng family did not regret the marriage, my Meizi would not have suffered such a great crime. I also complained that even my mother's family dared not return."

Whenever Mei Zi mentioned, Xu's son and daughter-in-law became embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. Her two sisters-in-law also looked at each other, complaining in their hearts that Xu's thick-skinned face would be gilded on her parents' faces.

When the marriage between Zheng and Xu families was not done, the Xu family couldn't wait to find a next home for Meizi, and half sold and half gave it to another young man who was recruited.

The young man was so poor that he didn't even wait for a rat, but he still raised a few taels of silver for the Xu family. He was not lucky, so he rushed to the border on the tenth day after getting married with Mei Zi, but his legs were broken by rocks rolling down the mountain on the way.

Fortunately, he didn't go far, so the conscription general ordered people to send him home. In the end, his life was saved, but his legs could no longer stand up.

Just looking at it this way, Meizi seems to be a pitiful person, but what she did later is not pitiful at all.

The young man was a kind man. He knew that he would drag Mei Zi down, so he wanted to remarry Mei Zi and Li. However, Mei Zi was the wife who was finally married by this poor family, and his parents refused to agree to death.

The young man had no choice but to stop the idea of ​​separation, and made up his mind to live a good life with Mei Zi, and learned the craftsmanship from the old bamboo craftsmen in the village.

When the young man learned the skills and finally made money, he finally had the courage to have a baby with Mei Zi. As a result, he finally got pregnant. Mei Zi wanted to marry a good family with her husband and Li again, so she felt that the child was a burden, so she fell down and lost the child.

The young man and his family hated Mei Zi to their core and refused to let her go. Since then, Mei Zi has lost her good days and has been living in dire straits for many years.

Not only did Meizi not regret it, she also sneaked back to the Xu family for help many times. The Xu family could not help her "get out of the sea of ​​suffering". She accidentally got to know everything. For a moment, Meizi and the Xu family's reputation was extremely bad.

Meizi was even more reluctant to stay at her husband's house. She had nothing to do every day and could give up her for her husband's family. Under the vicious cycle, her husband's family also hated her even more!

Meizi's actions are not a secret in the Meng family, and they are very looked down upon by the Meng family. Only Xu feels that his niece has a miserable life. He is forced to do these things and always talks about Meizi in front of others.

At this moment, Xu was holding on to Meizi again and took advantage of the situation to gild the face of her parents. How could the people from the Meng family not be embarrassed after hearing this?

Seeing that the mother became more and more outrageous as she spoke, the two aunts' faces became more and more strange. Xu's eldest son felt the face was burning and hurriedly stopped him: "Mom, these things have long been old. Now Mei Zi has a husband's family and her cousin has also married a wife. Even if you say it ten thousand times, it's useless. If you want to blame Mei Zi for not being blessed."

Xu was unwilling to rely on all the mistakes on the Zheng family, so he did a fight in the Zheng family on the excuse. Now seeing his eldest son attribute this to his niece's lack of blessing, he was immediately unhappy and scolded:

"You're not

A conscientious thing, my cousin looks good and diligent, how can I compare to the vixen of the Sang family? If this vixen hadn’t intercepted her, I could still renew my relationship with your cousin after you and Li. Your cousin would be much better than a widow who would have a husband-behaved!"

Excited, Xu accidentally shook the words in her heart. Before that, she didn't dare to have this idea, but after learning that Zheng Lin was married to a widow with a child, she felt that her niece was better than a widow everywhere. At least her niece was not good at her husband, and she didn't feel that she was dreaming about it at all.

Everyone in the Meng family was shocked and could hardly believe their ears. Xu, Xu, actually had such an idea? Not to mention that Mei Zi's reputation was so bad, even if it was not bad compared to A Lin's wife, those with eyes could see who would be better. Not to mention anything else, even if the dowry given by A Lin's wife and her parents' family could not be collected even if they sold all the Xu family.

If this is spread, it will be a joke. This Xu mother is not crazy, right? Everyone looked at Xu in surprise, for fear that she would be too irritated and her mind would be broken.

Xu still didn't realize it, and kept cursing the "vix spirit" and "little widow" in his mouth. His resentment seemed to be snatched by his own man.

Uncle Meng, who had originally been softened by her crying, couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at his sons: "Go home, ignore this crazy woman and let her die outside!"

As he said that, he no longer looked at Xu, turned his head and left angrily without hesitation. Looking at his shocked mother, the sons of the Meng family were a little confused and felt that she should wake up alone, so he quickly followed his father's pace.

My second uncle and Meng Xiaowei also felt that Xu's sister-in-law was hopeless, so they didn't bother to say a word and left. The others had been tired of Xu's wife and hurriedly ran away when they saw this.

After a while, the people around Xu ran away completely, leaving only the lonely Xu staring at the direction where everyone left in disbelief, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

This sleep of Mang Ye was particularly slept. When she woke up in a daze, it was already past meal time.

Zheng Lin had already woken up, and was playing with his wife's black hair with interest. When she saw her waking up, she hurried over and asked, "Are you hungry? Mom has warmed the food in the pot. Do you want me to bring it to the room?"

Sang Ye yawned lazily, shook his head when he heard this: "No need, I'll go out to eat later. Also, have you eaten?"

The slightly hoarse voice sounded a little different from usual, and it felt a little sticky and seemed to be acting coquettish.

"Not yet, I'm waiting for you." Zheng Lin replied casually, unable to help but lower his head and kiss his pink lips that had been looking at for a long time, grinding it carefully as if he was tasting the supreme delicacy.

After a full sleep, Mang Ye was in a good mood. She felt her husband's enthusiasm. Not only did she not push the person away, she also took the initiative to put her hand around his neck and responded.

Zheng Lin was a little surprised by his wife's initiative, and was encouraged and immediately lost her scruples. The force on her lips became much more fierce. She had forgotten all the kissing skills that she had finally understood last night. If it weren't for Sang Ye's quick stop, he would have almost bitten his lip several times.

There was no choice but to be a teacher again and slowly teach this student who was very forgetful. He had never eaten pork in his previous life and had seen pig run. His theoretical knowledge was much richer than practical experience, although he showed only half a bucket of water.

After the kiss, both of them were a little panting. Zheng Lin lay on his wife's body empty-handedly, igniting fires everywhere with one hand, pinching his small hands, and pinching his slender waist. He didn't let go of a certain part of his chest. He pinched the mulberry leaves red, his eyes filled with water vapor, which seemed to be angry but not angry, and was particularly angry.

Zheng Lin was very excited and stared at his wife like a ferocious beast. His eyes gradually turned red, obviously he was moved.

The two were tightly facing each other, and Sang Ye clearly felt the changes in the man's body. She was afraid that the gun would go off in broad daylight, so she hurriedly reached out and pushed: "I'm hungry, let's get up and have a meal."

Zheng Lin gasped and stared at the little woman under him without moving: "I want to eat you more now!"

Sang Yeser shrank for a moment, and his strength to push and reject him increased a little more:

Stop making trouble, let’s have a meal quickly. After you finish eating, you can take me around so that you won’t be able to find the way back one day.”

The next half of the sentence was clearly a joke, but Zheng Lin took it seriously, lowered her head and kissed her hard on the lips: "Let's go, have dinner first!"

As soon as she lightened her body, Mang Ye quietly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up to tidy up her clothes. When she packed her clothes, Zheng Lin had already put on her clothes and sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror with a smile.

Mang Ye's head was very long, soft and black, and it drooped on her back to outline a slender waistline, which made people want to touch it. Zheng Lin did this, and finally took the comb from Mang Ye's hand and combed her hair a little clumsyly.

Looking at the two overlapping figures that were seen in the bronze mirror and feeling the man's carefulness, Sang Ye couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, closed his eyes and felt the man's tenderness carefully.

Combing a female bun is a bit difficult for Zheng Lin. Finally, Mang Ye combed a simple bun herself. Zheng Lin stood by and watched and decided to try it secretly with his head in private. It should not be difficult to learn from both sides.

When the two left the room and came to the front yard, they saw Meng Shi, who was drying sweet potatoes. Sang Ye looked a little embarrassed and his face showed.

Meng didn't think anything was there, she just said that there was still fire in the fire pit and the food was hot, so she urged the two of them to go to have a meal as soon as possible.

Compared to the morning porridge, steamed buns and side dishes, the lunch was much richer. In addition to the newly stewed bone soup at noon, there were also a few fresh stir-fried dishes. As for the leftovers at the wedding banquet yesterday, I didn’t see the mulberry leaves and just thought they were all poured out.

The food tasted very good, and it was salty and light, which was very suitable for mulberry leaves's appetite. This made her feel relieved that she would not have to worry about the taste of her whole family when cooking herself in the future.

She didn't know that Old Man Zheng and Meng had a heavier taste. The reason why this meal was light was that Meng specially made it after inquiring about her taste.

After dinner, Mang Ye cleaned the two of them and said hello to Meng and said he wanted to go out for a walk.

Meng quickly said, "Go and go, be familiar with everyone, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find anyone when you visit your family." After that, she told the two to take Huan'er out too so that Huan'er can get familiar with the children in the village so that they can have fun together in the future.

"Thank you, mother, then we'll go out first." Sang Ye had the idea of ​​taking Huan'er with him, and when he saw that his mother-in-law was also concerned about Huan'er, he was very grateful.

He told Zheng Lin to call Huan'er and bring some candy cubes. While helping to turn over the sweet potatoes, Mangye said to Meng: "Mom, let's go back and we'll collect these sweet potatoes when we come back. Don't be tired."

This concern made Meng very useful. She responded with a smile: "You guys have fun, don't worry about me. At worst, I can put away the sweet potatoes and wait for you to come back and move into the house."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked a few family matters, and their relationship became closer invisibly. When Zheng Lin took Huan'er's hand, the three of them said goodbye to Meng and walked out of the house happily.
