Tie Kui Extra Story (23)

September 28th, Chunxiang's wedding day.

Chunni hugged Chunxiang and cried, "Sister, I can't bear you." The two sisters have depended on each other all these years, and now that Chunxiang is going to get married, she really doesn't want to bear it.

Chunxiang herself cried into tears.

Tie Kui looked at the tearful eyes of the two, and said with a smile, "It's not that far away, it's only half a day's journey. If the second sister misses the eldest sister, go to the county to see her."

Dashuan's daughter-in-law saw it and said, "This girl is crying for marriage and crying for her family. If she doesn't cry, how can she be called crying for marriage?"

Tie Kui is glad that girls in the country don't need to wear makeup, otherwise it would be a waste of makeup for crying like this: "Sister, this is a gift from me for your marriage." After finishing speaking, he took out a small square box from his sleeve .

Seeing that it was a pair of lantern gold earrings, Chunxiang pushed the things back to Tie Kui and said, "Kuizi, you have prepared enough jewelry for me, you should save this pair of gold earrings for your wife to wear!"

Chunni took the box over, took out the earrings from inside and said, "Sister, our Kuizi is so capable, are you still worried that he won't be able to afford gold earrings for his wife in the future?" The lilac silver earrings were taken off, and the gold earrings were brought to her.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law praised sincerely: "Kuizi, having a brother like you is a lucky wife for Chunxiang and his sisters." Unfortunately, she no longer has such a caring and capable brother.

Half an hour later, Shao Lili came to welcome the bride with a sedan chair. Suddenly, it became a topic of conversation among the villagers.

You must know that in Tiejia Village, when this girl gets married, her husband's family always uses a bullock cart to pick up the bride. There is no such thing as a poor wedding, and the bride directly follows the man home with a package.

Tie Kui didn't make things difficult for Shao Lili, and let him pick up Chunxiang smoothly.

The people in the village helped clean up the dishes and took the tables and chairs home, and the Tie family suddenly became deserted.

Tiehu was in a particularly depressed mood.

Seeing this, Chunni comforted her and said, "Father, if you miss your eldest sister, you can go to the county town to see her."

With a hum, Tiehu went back to the house.

Chun Ni looked at Tie Hu's lonely back, and said softly: "It's also fortunate that I am recruiting a son-in-law, not marrying off, otherwise, father, you will have to suffer again."

Lifting his hijab and looking at the delicate bride, Shao Lili grinned.

A young daughter-in-law said with a smile: "The bride is so beautiful, no wonder Li Li is so obsessed with it, and insists on marrying her home." This appearance is two points more beautiful than the daughter-in-law Shao Lixing married. It's just that I think about it in my heart, and I must not say it. After all, Shao Lixing's daughter-in-law Pang Qiuling is not only a remarried widow, but also has bad conduct.

Chunxiang's pretty face flushed with embarrassment.

Not long after Shao Lili went out, Shao's mother walked in. Looking at the twelve boxes and cages placed in the room, Mother Shao said to everyone, "What's in it? Since it's brought here, let's open it for everyone to see." She thought that the Tie family just had their faces swollen to pretend to be fat. Ming Mingji spent all the money in the family, and deliberately bought twelve boxes and cages. There must be worthless things in this box.

The bride's dowry is brought over, normally it is for the husband's family to see. But the Shao family's situation is special, so all the cages are locked.

Chunxiang said softly: "Mother-in-law, the key is in the hands of the husband." This means that if you want to see the dowry, you can go to Shao Lili to get the key.

Shao's mother said to Shao's sister-in-law: "You go and ask Lili to bring the key, and let us see what kind of dowry the bride has brought." The second son was fascinated by this vixen again, and rushed to marry after retiring, Shao's mother was upset.

Pang Qiuling entered the door at the beginning of the year, and her relationship with Shao's mother was like fire and water. However, Shao Lixing devoted himself to Pang Qiuling, and his relationship with Shao's mother became worse and worse. This also caused Shao's mother to become more and more left-handed, and she disliked everyone.

The dowry of the new daughter-in-law was originally intended for everyone to see, which is also a local custom. Upon hearing this, Shao Lili gave the key to Aunt Shao: "Sister-in-law, Chunxiang is shy, please take care of her."

"Naturally." Mrs. Shao had six cages when she married, and Chunxiang had twelve cages, obviously overwhelming her. So Mrs. Shao also wanted to know what exactly was in Chunxiang's cage.

Twelve boxes and cages, six boxes of clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter. Among them, winter clothes occupy three boxes, and there is another box for leather. The other six cages contain necessities such as combs for women, as well as porcelain such as bowls, chopsticks and tea cups.

A village woman pointed to the jewelry box in the cage and said, "What is this?"

Seeing Mrs. Shao reaching out to open it, Chunxiang hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I will do this myself."

This box contains earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, hairpins, hairpins and other jewelry. Although they were all made of silver, they caught the eyes of the women in the room. It's really these jewellery, very beautifully made.

A young daughter-in-law asked: "Daughter-in-law Li, is this jewelry worth the money of the young and old?"

Chunxiang shook her head and said, "I don't know either, my younger brother bought it for me in Shengjing."

It also happened that this shop was not doing well, and the owner was going to close the shop and go home, and the silver jewelry was sold at 60% of the price. At this price, it can be said that even the manual fee is not earned. But because the styles are all outdated, the rich disdain to buy them, and the poor cannot afford them. And Tie Kui happened to meet and bought two sets of jewelry. However, this style is outdated in Shengjing, but it is still very beautiful for women in the country.

After showing it to everyone, Chunxiang put the jewelry box back into the cage and locked it. Mother Shao's face darkened instantly. Everyone else in the room thought it was normal, but they wouldn't even take it out, let alone lock it.

A moment in the Spring Festival is worth a thousand dollars, and the young couple didn't fall asleep until midnight.

The next day was bright, and Chunxiang was getting ready to get up. Shao Lixiang put his arms around her and let her continue to sleep.

Chunxiang said: "Master, what does it look like for a newlywed to cook the first day after she comes to the house, and to sleep until the sun is up?"

Shao Li thought for a while, and got up together.

After the two went out, they found that Mrs. Shao had woken up. Shao Lili said, "Sister-in-law, let Chunxiang cook for you!"

At the beginning, she encouraged Shao's mother to retire because she wanted to tell Shao Lili about her aunt's cousin. But now that the matter is a foregone conclusion and the family has been separated, Mrs. Shao doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Shao Lili and his wife, so she immediately greets Chunxiang and says, "Okay! With Chunxiang's help, I can relax a bit."

There was a wedding yesterday, so there are a lot of dishes left. The two sisters-in-law just heated up the food and didn't do anything else.

During the meal, all three of Shao's mother and Shao Lixing's family came to eat.

Mrs. Shao's face was a little ugly when she saw it, but speaking of which, these meals were all from Shao Lili. Neither her father-in-law nor her husband spoke, so she could only hold her breath and said nothing.

After dinner, Shao Lili took Chunxiang to meet the patriarch and other elders in the clan.

After breakfast the next day, Shao Lili said to Shao's father and Shao's mother: "Father, mother, my vacation is here, Chunxiang and I will go back to the county after lunch at my father-in-law's house."

Father Shao hummed.

Shao's mother wanted to keep Chunxiang, but unfortunately the three sons had already separated, so it was useless for her to ask. If the family hadn't been separated, Chunxiang wouldn't have married into the Shao family.

After lunch at Tie's house, the young couple went back to Shao's house to get the cage. As a result, it was found that a cage had been moved.

When she opened the cage, she found that the jewelry box was gone. Chunxiang was so anxious that she burst into tears. The jewelry here is worth a lot of money.

Shao Lili said with a dark face: "Don't worry, things can't be lost at home." Unexpectedly, there was a thief in the house

In the end, Mrs. Shao's daughter testified that Shao's mother had entered the wedding room, and when she came out, she was holding a small box. And in the end, the family really found the jewelry box in Shao's mother's room.

Opening the jewelry box, Shao Lili asked, "Tap a little to see if there is anything missing."

Chunxiang looked at it, shook her head and said, "No, they are all here." After speaking, she hugged the jewelry box tightly in her arms.

Shao's mother was so angry that she cursed: "Which black-hearted thing planted and framed me." It was also Chunxiang who was not at home when she returned home, or else she must have suspected that it was Chunxiang who made this trick in order to tarnish her reputation and alienate their mother and son.

It's a pity that no matter how much Shao's mother scolds the Shao family, they don't believe her, because she has indeed entered a new house.

Originally, the separation of the family was just to divide the property, and everyone still lived under the same roof. Because Shao's mother is a mother, she often instructs Shao Da to help her with things, and Shao Da's sister-in-law is very angry. After the separation, the conflicts not only did not decrease but increased and a lot. But because of Shao's mother's theft, Mrs. Shao forced her husband to build a wall at home to completely separate the two families.

After more than half a month, Tie Kui asked Chun Ni with a smile: "I'm going to the bookstore tomorrow, would Second Sister follow me to the county town to visit Eldest Sister?"

Chunni wanted to go, but she was worried about Tiehu: "I'm leaving, who will cook for Dad?"

Tie Hu laughed and said: "You cook more in the morning, and I'll just heat up the food at noon."

The next day, Chunni got up before dawn to make breakfast. When it was dawn, the siblings went to the county seat.

Walk to the town, and then Tie Kui let Chun Xiang take the bullock cart, and he walked.

Seeing Chunxiang's reluctance, Tie Kui smiled and said, "Sister, I'm not doing it to save money, but to exercise my legs." Now he doesn't get tired after running on the mountain for a day, and walking for half a day is nothing.

Seeing Chunni and Tiekui, Chunxiang was overjoyed: "Big sister, brother, why are you here? Come in and sit down."

The two houses Shao Li bought were not big, and the room they lived in was full of beds, dressers and wardrobes. The rest of the furniture was put in another room.

Chunxiang said, "This room is too small." Just two small rooms like this cost more than thirty taels of silver, which is really expensive.

"Take your time, and when you save money, you can buy a bigger one." It doesn't matter if the house is smaller, as long as you don't live in the country and face her mother-in-law every day.

Tie Kui said: "Eldest sister, second sister, you talk, I'll go to the bookstore."

The two sisters are just like at home, chatting while cooking. When the meal was ready, Tie Kui came back with Shao Lili.

When Shao Lili got home, he told Chunxiang the good news. Because the guy who helped customers get medicine quit, the shopkeeper asked him to take over: "From now on, I will have four taels of silver every month." Except for chewing, I can save two taels of silver every month. After saving money for two years, change to a house with a courtyard.

Chunni praised: "Brother-in-law is really capable."

Because Tiehu was at home alone, the two rushed back after lunch.

After Chunxiang and the others left, they said to Shao Lili: "Big sister, they sent a lot of things."

Shao Lili hummed and said, "Let's be filial to our father-in-law from now on."

Speaking of this, Chunxiang became worried: "My father is so worried about Chunni's marriage that he doesn't know what to do." Chunni and Tiekui are not in a hurry, but Chunxiang is in a hurry.

"It just happens naturally."

After the young couple said a few words, Shao Lili went to the pharmacy. It was also because he knew that it was the first time for Chunni and his brother to come, so he deliberately asked for a long time to accompany them.

Chunxiang was separating the soybeans, peanuts and other things Chunni sent, when the sister-in-law Liu next door came to visit.

Sister-in-law Liu looked at the two big bags and said with a smile, "Your parents really love you." These things are not valuable things in the countryside, but they all cost money in the county town.

Chunxiang smiled and said, "My father loves me very much, and my older sister and younger brother are also very kind to me."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu thought Mrs. Jin was dead, so she quickly changed the subject: "Your girl is so handsome. If you come to propose a marriage, you are afraid that you will break through the threshold." Since you are going out as a guest, you naturally have to dress nicely and go out. A girl in her twenties and eight years looks good with a little tidying up.

Because the two have a good relationship, Chunxiang didn't hide it: "My younger brother said that he would go out to make a living when he was sixteen, and my father was afraid that he would have no one to rely on when he was old, so he wanted to find a husband for my older sister. Didn't find a favorite."

Sister-in-law Liu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There are children in the family, and this girl has no share in the property, how can I pick the one I like."

Chunxiang shook her head and said, "The shopkeeper of a commercial firm in Shengjing told him that as long as he went there, he would give him twenty-two months. So my younger brother said that he didn't want the family property, and gave it all to my eldest sister."

"real?"

Chunxiang smiled bitterly and said, "There's no need to lie to you. Everyone in our family knows about it. I don't want to pick anything, I just want to find someone who is good-looking and down-to-earth and willing to work, but unfortunately I can't find it."

Sister-in-law Liu was thoughtful.

Chun Ni was making lunch at home this day, and she was startled when she saw Chun Xiang appear at the kitchen door: "Big sister, why are you back? Is something wrong?"

Chunxiang smiled and said, "I have something to do, but it's for your sake."

Chunni was inexplicable: "My business? I have been doing well at home, what can I do?"

"For your marriage." Before Chunni could ask, Chunxiang said, "It's also a coincidence that when you came to visit me that day, I was seen by my sister-in-law Liu. She knew you were looking for a husband, so she introduced me Personal choice. I have seen that person before, he is tall and burly, and he looks good."

After hearing this, Chunni couldn't help but ask one more question: "Tall and burly and good-looking, why can't I marry a wife? Could it be that I'm too lazy?"

Chunxiang glanced at Chunni reproachfully: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? If I didn't find out clearly, I can run home and tell you. This Dongzi is very hardworking, but his family is poor and has many brothers, and he still owes a lot of money." Less foreign debt, so I can't marry a wife."

"How much foreign debt is owed? How is it owed?"

Chunxiang said: "His father is a bastard, and her mother is in poor health and always takes medicine, so she owes a lot of money. But his parents passed away a few years ago, and now most of the foreign debts have been repaid."
