Chapter 470 Deception
When she got home, Sang Ye told Yue Niang about the general story and reminded her: "This girl Hu Miao looks pretty good and should not have much thought about her brother-in-law. I have also tested your parents-in-law. They said that the Zheng family did not have three wives and four concubines, and I am afraid that only the Hu family was making a wrong idea. Judging from the meaning of Hu Miao's words, it is very likely that she should stare at the land in your hands. As long as you don't hand it over it stupidly, they will have no way to plot against you."
"Yeah, don't say that my parents-in-law doesn't mean that, even if I have it, I will definitely not hand it over." Yue Niang trusted her elder sister very much, believed in her words, but felt a little guilty about Hu Miao, who had been misunderstood by her: "Speaking of it, the cousin of the Hu family is also pitiful. The beautiful girl was used thoroughly by her parents as goods."
"So reincarnation is a technical job!" Sang Ye sighed quite a bit, and sympathized with Hu Miao. The marriage became a bargaining chip for her parents to make profits, and she ignored her ideas completely. Maybe she would be sold one day and ruined for the rest of her life. It would be better to have such a parent than not.
Yue Niang was silent for a while, looked at her elder sister and said, "She wanted to do work like this, so she must know that her parents were unreliable and could only rely on herself. It was so heartbreaking to see that it was heartbreaking. I really don't know what would happen in the future."
Sang Ye knew that her soft-hearted problem had been broken again, and said coldly: "That's her own business. If she can't even solve this problem, even if I help her this time, she will be destined to be unable to get rid of others' mercy in the future."
Yue Niang thought something and felt that what her elder sister said made sense. Everyone has their own way to go. There may be many obstacles on this road. Others can help each other for a lifetime, and they will have to get it out by themselves.
Sang Ye came out for a while and was worried that the little boy at home would be troubled by his mother-in-law, so he said to Yue Niang: "The matter has been cleared, so don't think about it. When the fetus is firmly settled, you should go back quickly. If the Hu family dares to have trouble, you will beat him back. With our family to support you, you don't have to be afraid of anything!"
Yue Niang looked moved: "I know, sister, I will take care of the baby well and will not think about it anymore."
Sang Ye greeted her parents and went home. As soon as she reached the door, she heard the little boy's heart-wrenching cry. She was so scared that she ran three steps at a time, thinking that something had happened to the little boy.
Meng hugged her crying grandson, sweating profusely. When she saw Sangye coming back, she came up as if she saw a savior: "I cried when I came back from Lantern Festival, I couldn't find you. I couldn't coax you."
Looking at the little boy who was covered in tears and stretched out his short hand to hug him, Sang Ye hugged him with heartache: "Oh, don't cry, mom is here, don't cry~"
The little boy was still easy to coax. He returned to his familiar arms and stopped crying quickly, but his little body was twitching. The two fat guys grabbed his mother's clothes tightly, for fear that his mother would disappear again if she blinked.
Seeing that the young grandson finally stopped crying, Meng wiped his sweat and said, "Lanxiao is becoming more and more aware of her child. Now, no one is allowed to hug her except her own family. She also likes to stick to you the most."
As she said that, Meng felt a little sad. She often took care of her grandson on weekdays. Sometimes when her daughter-in-law gets busy, she takes more time to take care of her. As a result, as long as her daughter-in-law is in front of her, the little grandson will not let her hug her.
"Mom, that's because your grandson feels sorry for you, afraid that you are tired!" Sang Ye knew that the little boy kissed her even more, but he didn't need to admit it in front of her mother-in-law. Although she felt that the little boy was sticking to her, it was actually the food that stuck to her chest.
"Haha, yes, I just feel sorry for me, my grandson is filial." Meng smiled. Even though he knew that his daughter-in-law was coaxing her, he felt very happy, as if he had seen his grandson grow up and would be filial to her grandmother.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were joking, and they were in harmony, but the little boy stopped doing it. The fat guy started to take off his mother's clothes, screaming anxiously, and his little head kept urging on his mother's chest.
Sang Ye was amused by the little boy's anxious look, and said to Meng and took him back to the house to feed him.
...
Miao sent away the mulberry leaves. Seeing that the sun was about to rise to the top of her head, she didn't make a straw rope. She used a basin to make a few spoonfuls of sesame flour and cut another piece of old pumpkin, planning to make pumpkin noodles for lunch.
"Auntie, take a break, I'll knead the dough." Hu Miao was a diligent girl. Seeing this, she immediately put down her needle and thread, washed her hands and took the basin.
Kind noodles is a job of strength. If you want to fuse the dough, you have to put in the effort. In such a hot day, you can't sweat all over. Hu Miao felt sorry for his aunt.
"Okay, I'll go steam pumpkins, and mix them in the noodles later. You can cut the half basket of cowpeas first." Miao did not be polite to her niece, pointing to half basket of cowpeas that had been washed and hung in the yard and said, "There are too many cowpeas in the house that can't be finished, and it's also sour cowpeas that you will take them away when you go back one day. Your mother loves to eat this."
Hu Miao shook his hand holding the basin and whispered: "Auntie, you are so nice to my mother!"
Miao smiled, and a memory-like expression appeared on her wrinkled face: "I am five years older than your mother. Your mother was raised by me. In my heart, it hurts her as half of her daughter!"
It is precisely for this reason that the two sisters have a very good relationship. Even if they get married later, they actively maintain this sisterly relationship. Because Miao is the eldest sister, she always gives in to Xiao Miao. When Xiao Miao sees that her sister has something good, she never asks for it directly.
Hu Miao remembered that his mother often complained to her aunt in front of him, saying that her sister did not have her sister in her heart. She knew that her family was not as good as her, but she never knew how to raise her. She said that her aunt looked down on her sister, and she looked down on her niece, and was unhappy to have children and relatives. She said that God was unfair, so she asked her aunt to marry a wife with a dowry of 100 acres of land, and she became prosperous all of a sudden...
She has a scale in her heart. After watching it for so many years, she knew that her aunt was really good at treating her family. Otherwise, she wouldn't remember that her mother loved to eat sour cowpeas and would send food to her family every autumn harvest. When she killed the New Year pigs during the New Year, she always brought large pieces of pork, and she never asked her mother to do anything... If this is not good, what should she do? But my mother just couldn't see it!
Hu Miao knew even more about the purpose of his parents sending him to his aunt's house. He said that he was to let her avoid rumors outside. In fact, he wanted her to coax her aunt, and it was best to let her cousin's wife hand over the land and dowry. Only in this way can her parents get benefits from her aunt.
If she couldn't do this, her parents would ask her cousin to marry her and serve her husband regardless of size. In this way, with her cousin's wife's 100 acres of land, she could live a good life at her aunt's house and help her brothers at that time.
She knew how to be propriety, righteous and honest, and her parents' calculations made her very embarrassed, but she was unable to resist her parents' decisions and could only hide at her aunt's house as they wanted. As for provoking the relationship between her aunt and cousin's wife, she could not do such a thing and would not really do what they said.
Fortunately, my cousin's wife went back to her parents' home to have a baby, which gave her an excuse to deal with her parents, but she didn't know how long she could handle it. My cousin's wife would never live in her parents' home for the rest of her life!
Seeing her niece frowning, Miao asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Hu Miao shook her head: "Auntie, I'm fine. I've lived in your house for too long. I don't know when my parents will let me go back." If possible, she didn't want to go back. Staying at her aunt's house was much easier than at home, but she knew it was impossible not to go home.
Miao smiled and said, "You silly kid, you are my niece. What's wrong with living here for a while? Your cousin stays in school all day, and your cousin can't come back from time to time in her in-laws' house. Fortunately, you came here, otherwise I, the old woman, wouldn't even have someone to talk to."
Miao really loves Hu Miao, the only niece, and knows that her sister and husband prefer boys over girls and do not value her niece, so she really wants to keep her niece for a while, but she doesn't want her to be hurt by the rumors in the village when she goes back.
Hu Miao's nose felt sore, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Auntie, I know you feel sorry for me, but I'm going home sooner or later. My parents are still waiting to tell me a rich family so that they can use the betrothal fee to build a house for my second brother to get a wife. Maybe they are already looking at each other now."
Seeing her crying, Miao felt uncomfortable, and she didn't care about the flour on her hands and wiped her tears: "My daughter's family is going to get married sooner or later, and your parents still love you. I want to find someone with good conditions to live a good life, but I didn't expect to be deceived by the matchmaker. Don't worry, next time the family your parents like, my aunt will also give you a palm and will not let you marry someone who is wrong."
The last time the Hu family found a cripple for Hu Miao, it was only when the man retired from the kiss that Miao realized that the man was inconvenient to his legs and feet. At that time, Xiao Miao was afraid of being scolded by Miao, so she used the excuse that she was deceived by the matchmaker. She asked about the man's good character and decided on Hu Miao. Miao did not think that his sister would deceive him, so she believed her words, and only reminded Xiao Miao to be cautious next time and not let the matchmaker cheat again.
Unexpectedly, Hu Miao threw herself into Miao's arms and cried loudly: "Auntie, it's not like this. It's parents, it's parents who took the other's betrothal gifts and deliberately told me a cripple. But later, the people reneged and didn't want to give the more betrothal gifts, so the two families started to make a fuss. It was not what my parents said, but they just retired after they found out they were deceived."
"What? What did you say? All you said are true?" Miao was shocked and did not expect that things would be like this. Looking at her niece who was crying, she actually believed it in her heart, but she was unable to accept the fact that she had been deceived by her own sister.
"Auntie, aunt, I, I dare not lie to you. I really don't want to go home. If my parents tell me about such a family again, I might as well hit him to death." Hu Miao cried and couldn't even speak smoothly.
If I wanted to win the sympathy of Miao at the beginning and hoped that she could help me make the decision, then as long as I thought that my parents would promise myself to someone who I don’t know what kind of person they were for the sake of money, Hu Miao was really sad, and it would be better to hit me to death and this was not just a saying.
She should be glad that she looks pretty, otherwise it would be impossible for her parents to sell her or give her to rich people as a concubine for money. Think about it carefully, whether it is selling or becoming a concubine, it is not much different from marrying her to a casual person.
"What nonsense do you girl say? Your aunt is still here, can you watch your parents slap you? So, why didn't you tell your aunt earlier, because she thought it was useless and couldn't make decisions for you, right?" Miao was angry and distressed, and patted Hu Miao heavily: "Don't worry, I'll talk to your parents later. If they still have this intention, they will not recognize me as the sister first."
"Don't, aunt, don't go, parents will beat me to death." Hu Miao pulled Miao's sleeve and begged: "As long as the second brother can't marry a wife for a day, parents will use me to exchange for the betrothal gift. Even if you force my mother by severing the relationship between sisters, my mother will not give up."
When Miao heard this, her face suddenly became ugly. She knew that Miao'er was right. According to her sister's temperament, it was impossible for her to give up using Miao'er to exchange for a betrothal gift for the second child to marry her wife, unless the Hu family could get a lot of money immediately, so that she would not find someone to marry Miao'er out casually.
My family saved a small sum of money. The money was for Cong Ge'er to go to the Fucheng City to participate in the trial. He must not be moved. Could it be that he just let Miaoer be abused by his sister and brother-in-law?
Hu Miao saw his aunt's difficulties and felt that the time was coming, so he quickly told his plans: "Auntie, as long as my parents believe that I can earn money and save money for my second brother to marry a wife, my parents will not treat me like this."
Miao was confused and asked, "You make money? You are a girl who can't take her shoulders and can't lift her hands. What can you do to make money?"
Hu Miao said anxiously: "I went to the workshop run by my cousin's sister's sister's house. Just now, my cousin's sister praised me for doing a good job. I want to try it. I heard that I pay wages every month, and I can earn half a month if I have the fastest hands and feet."
Miao was about to nod, but then sighed: "I mentioned this to your mother earlier, but your mother felt that the men and women in the workshop were not serious about not agreeing to you. Even if you want to, your mother would not agree to it."
The workshop was built at the doorstep of the house, and most of the Zheng clan members worked inside. She knew the situation inside. How could the girl think so badly? Not to mention, if her niece could get in, it would be a good way out. It would be better than being allowed to others by the girl's family.
Hu Miao was stunned, not knowing that his aunt had already mentioned it to her mother.
Looking at his niece who was about to cry again, Miao gritted his teeth and said, "Miao'er, if you really want to go, I will persuade your mother. At worst, I can give up this old face. Please let your cousin's sister arrange for me to work, and see what else your mother wants."
Miao knew that she was old and had no needlework. When she went in, she had to go to the cafeteria to help. Speaking of which, during the slack season, she had to paste cloth boards and earned hundreds of cents. If she really went to the workshop to work, she could earn more money and help her niece, which was great.
Thinking of this, Miao's seven-point determination became ten,
