Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

"Liu Erlang is really good," Qu Jingxi glanced at the blushing eldest sister, and said to Qu Weizhen, "Let's meet up a few more times, I'll go find out about his family, and I can't just listen to what Wang Po said."

Qu Weizhen nodded and said in a low voice, "I'll give you some money, don't let your parents know."

Qu Jingxi understood that if her parents knew that the third sister still had money, the family would definitely be in trouble again.

Qu Jingxi was very careful, for fear of harming her eldest sister, so she checked and checked the situation of Liu's family, and only agreed to the marriage after confirming that the character of the whole family was indeed good.

Because they will go back to Beijing to study after the next year, they hinted to Wang Po that they hoped that the Liu family would propose marriage sooner, preferably before they left.

If you have money but don’t have money, it’s better to marry a daughter-in-law for the new year. Now time is tight, and it’s impossible to marry a wife before the new year, but you can get married in the first month, so that the family will directly have an extra labor force in the spring.

The Liu family was naturally willing, and the reason why they didn't mind Zhaodi's marriage before was because her younger brother and younger sister were studying in the capital.

According to what Wang Po said, her brother and sister are very kind to her, and they have a good relationship. After that, the family will have another kind of close relationship, and the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages.

They also wanted to get closer to each other, and it would be great if Qu Jingxi and Qu Weizhen could leave after attending the wedding.

So after some hints from the two parties, the Liu family asked Po Wang to come to their door to propose a kiss a few years ago.

Mother Qu curled her lips in disdain when she heard about the family situation of the Liu family, and asked, "How much dowry can the Liu family give?"

"Sister, don't worry, the betrothal gift will not be short, there are three taels..."

"Three taels?" Mother Qu said with a sharp "huh": "This is to send off beggars. The bride price for our younger sister's marriage is twenty taels. Although the Liu family is not as good as the Wang family, it is too wishful thinking to marry my daughter with only three taels?"

"Hey sister, why do the Wang family offer such a high betrothal gift? You really have the heart to jump into that pit of fire with your own daughter whom you have raised for more than ten years. The Liu family's betrothal gift is not as good as the Wang family's, but if you look at Liu Erlang, then go to see Mr. Wang, how can it be compared? What's more, who knows that the dowry gift for marrying a daughter-in-law is generally two taels? Three taels is already a lot, and the Liu family's family is not bad. Others can't come up with this amount. Plus the money for the banquet for you and the money for buying some clothes and fabrics for Zhao Di, then it will cost five taels of silver."

Mother Qu said disdainfully: "My son is a scholar, and he will become a Jinshi master in the future. His sister can't marry too badly, right? Anyway, this marriage..."

"I agree!" Qu Jingxi pushed open the door, came out of the house, and said to the Wang Po in the main room: "I have agreed to this marriage, please let them bring the Geng Tie."

Mother Qu was dumbfounded, grabbed him and shouted in a low voice: "Xiaobao, what are you messing around with, the Liu family is very poor, how can their family deserve it..."

"Our family is poorer than theirs. What can't be worthy of it?" Qu Jingxi held her arm behind her back and said earnestly: "Mother, the most important thing for sisters to marry is to look at the person. As long as the sister's wife is good, their family's character is not bad. Qi Dafei, sisters marry like that without confidence, and life will not be easy?"

"What, what lotus root?" Mother Qu stomped her feet and said, "Oh, with you here, how can they lack confidence, and they marry well, and they will have a better life in the future, so they can help you, right..."

"Mother," Qu Jingxi looked at her seriously and said, "You can marry your sisters if you want, I will leave a message here, in order to let them live well, I will double the dowry in the future."

Mother Qu opened her mouth wide.

"Mother, Eldest Sister is not young, and Third Sister and I can only come back once a year at most, so let's arrange the wedding for Eldest Sister while we are still at home. If you can find a good relative, you can also let the other party come to your door. As long as the character of the other party is good and the character of the family is not bad, I will agree to the marriage. When they give twenty taels of betrothal gift, I will accompany and send back forty taels."

Mother Qu clutched her chest and was speechless.

Father Qu couldn't stand listening at the door, got up and went in and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

"I don't have one now, but I can borrow it from my husband and teacher, and pay it back later when my son can earn money."

"Hey, why is my life so hard? Not to mention that I have to give my daughter who has been raised so hard to be a daughter-in-law to someone else's family, and I have to pay so much dowry." Mother Qu couldn't help but patted her thigh and cried, "What am I trying to figure out?"

Qu Jingxi looked down at her mother quietly and said, "Tu they are doing well, mother, they are your daughters, don't you want them to have a good life?"

"But it can't hurt you because of it."

Qu Jingxi smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother, I don't think it's a burden. I'm very happy to be able to do something for my sisters."

Qu's mother vomited to death, and could only look at Qu's father helplessly.

Qu's father's complexion is not good-looking, the mother-in-law can't understand, doesn't he understand? The son is urging them to agree to this marriage.

He closed his eyes, he has always been smart, how can he be so stupid if he can go from being poor to what he is today?

If he agreed to this matter, they might not be able to make decisions about Di Pandi and Daidi's marriage in the future, but they would have to listen to Qu Jingxi.

But don't agree...

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar son, recalling how alienated them these past few years, he closed his eyes and asked, "After leaving this time, when will you come back next time? It won't be another few years, right?"

"No more dad," Qu Jingxi moved in her heart, knelt in front of him and looked up: "My parents are old, my son should serve around me, but now I'm still in school, so I can't come back all the time, but I can do it once or twice a year."

Father Qu's eyes lit up.

"In the past, it was because I was young and it was not easy to go on the road, so the academy had a long vacation and the teacher and the teacher didn't let us come back, but now I have grown up, not to mention the winter vacation, if there is no big event in the summer vacation, I will come back."

Father Qu let out a sigh of relief, and finally felt at ease, "Okay, as long as you remember your parents, it's fine, your elder sister's marriage is up to you."

"His father!"

Father Qu turned his head and stared at her, nodded to Po Wang, and then stretched out his hand to drag her back to the house.

Mother Qu shook her hand and said angrily, "Why don't you let me talk?"

"In the end, we still have to rely on Xiaobao in the future. All these years, he has only Pandi by his side, and she has taught him to only recognize his sister. Now he has lost his mind. What's the use of saying more? It's just pushing him further and further away. Do you really want to separate from your son?"

"I……"

"Okay, let them marry if they want to, and you can keep whatever gift you get, and we don't have to care about their lives in the future." Father Qu was also heartbroken by his daughters.

What's wrong with marrying Mr. Wang? Do you think he's really doing it for the bride price?

He has been poor all his life and knows the hardships of being poor, but Mr. Wang's family has money and land, and he will enjoy the blessings directly when he marries. Many people can't ask for good things for many years, but they don't know how to enjoy the blessings.

Qu's father and Qu's mother no longer intervened in this matter, the marriage of the two families went very smoothly, and they exchanged Geng Tie the next day, which was considered a marriage.

In the countryside, the six ceremonies were simplified, and when the marriage was decided on the same day, Wang Po asked about the wedding date on behalf of the Liu family. Finally, the two parties agreed to get married on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Liu's family sent Zhaodi a piece of red cloth, although it was coarse cloth with no pattern at all, but Zhaodi was also very happy, and was about to use it to ask her third sister to make a wedding dress, when she turned around, she was taken away by Mother Qu and stuffed into the cabinet.

Mother Qu looked at the cotton-padded clothes on her body and said: "Isn't this dress newly made? It will be fine to wear it when you go out. The wedding dress is made of good cloth, and after wearing it for a day, you can't wear it anymore. Look at the big girls and daughter-in-laws in the village, who gets married and wears a red wedding dress?"

Qu Zhaodi squeezed the corner of her clothes tightly, bowed her head and remained silent.

Qu Weizhen was leaning against the window and doing homework. Hearing this, he pushed open the window and said to Qu Zhaodi: "Sister, leave that piece of cloth to your mother, maybe it's not certain that your mother has other uses. Come back, I will teach you how to write."

Qu Zhaodi responded, and went back to the house with her head down.

Mother Qu curled her lips at the window, feeling that the pent-up air these days had finally subsided.

Qu Weizhen smiled at Qu Zhaodi, who was drooping her head, "Sister, go and find the sewing kit I brought back. It's not the small one, but the big one with a lot of embroidery threads. I didn't know that the Liu family would send red cloth, so I asked my younger brother to buy it when he went to the city early this morning. The bento from the Liu family should be regarded as your filial piety to your mother. We will use that piece as a wedding dress when my younger brother comes back."

Qu Zhaodi couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Sanmei, where did you get so much money? You really didn't borrow it from your husband, did you?"

She said anxiously: "Your husband is a good person. You and your younger brother live and live with them for free, and teach you so many skills. You can't, you can't..."

"Keep an inch," Qu Weizhen continued her words, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big sister, my brother and I know what's in mind, you don't have to worry about it."

Qu Zhaodi frowned.

"There is just one thing I want to ask my eldest sister."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Qu Weizhen said in a low voice, "The eldest sister's marriage is fixed, and the second sister's age is about the same. My younger brother and I will not be able to take care of you if we leave, so you have to come back to see them often. If your parents want to marry the second sister, stop them if you can. If you can't, send a message to us. The security agencies in the city will come to Beijing every once in a while. They can help."

Zhaodi experienced a divorce, but her temperament has changed a bit. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know you are worried that your parents will find someone like Master Wang for Laidi. I will always watch over it."

Qu Weizhen pursed her lips and smiled.

What she can help them is really limited. After all, she can't be by their side all the time. She can help them for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Even if it was very slim, she also hoped that the three sisters could change slightly, even if they became bad people, it would be better than letting others slaughter them like before.

The experience during this period really touched the three sisters Zhaodi a lot. From going to the county town to peeking at Mr. Wang in Wangjiazhuang, to retiring the marriage, the three sisters feel that the memories of these few days of life are more profound than the previous ten years.

In the past, they thought that they just had to listen to their parents. They didn’t dare to resist, and they never thought about resisting. But watching their younger brother and third sister (third sister) push their parents back step by step, they realized that they didn’t have to obey their parents.

Not only the younger brother, but also Pandi can make their parents regress. They don't expect their parents to regress to them, but they hope that they can have more breathing space.

As a result, the life of the Qu family slowly changed unconsciously. For example, no matter how cold it is, as long as there is no heavy snow outside, the three Zhaodi sisters must go to the mountain to collect firewood after getting up.

They are dried and piled up in the yard. If they can’t be burned at home, they can be carried to the city to sell.

But now, Zhaodi and the others no longer take the initiative to go up the mountain when they get up together, but go back to the room after breakfast to read characters, learn needlework, and wait until the sun is at its highest before going up the mountain for a circle, and the three of them can carry a bundle of firewood back.

After the most sunny moment, the three sisters stopped coming out of the den again.

Qu's father and Qu's mother are currently in a one-sided cold war with their daughters, so they didn't notice this at all. It has been a long time since they found out that their daughters are not as easy to handle as before.

And once the bones are reversed, it will be too difficult, too difficult to get back.

Sisters Laidi have their own ideas, and they have a lot of work to do, but they don’t stop until their parents tell them to stop like before. Instead, they will deliberately adjust their work and rest, so that their bodies don’t feel so uncomfortable. After a day, they feel that their bodies are not their own.

Qu Jingxi went back and forth to Runing City many times under the guise of celebrating the New Year, not only bought red cloth for Qu Zhaodi, but also bought a few more pieces of cloth, and made another set of clothes for everyone, which made Qu's father and Qu's mother feel distressed.

Can't help but grab him and force him to ask: "Xiaobao, honestly, how much money do you have?"

Xiao Bao blushed and said, "This money is not mine."

"Whose is not yours?" Mother Qu's eyes widened, "Could it be that little girl Pandi..."

Qu Jingxi saw that her mother's face was grim, she subconsciously shook her head and said, "No, it's not Third Sister's either."

"Whose is that?"

Qu Jingxi lowered her head and said, "It belongs to Mr. and Ms.

The money was the monthly money they gave, and indeed it belonged to them. This was the first time Qu Jingxi had told such a lie, so her forehead was sweating a little.

Qu's father and Qu's mother did not doubt it, because they knew that their son was very well-behaved and would not lie.

"Did you borrow money from them?"

Qu Jingxi lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"Oh!" Mother Qu patted her legs and said, "Why are you so disobedient? There is no end to borrowing money to spend. Look at our family, no matter how poor or poor we are, we never borrow money from others. It's because the more we borrow, the poorer we get. You borrow money just to marry your elder sister..."

"It's not for eldest sister," Qu Jingxi looked up at her mother and said, "Mother, my son is also for you. I'm not by your side. I hope your life will be easier."

Qu's father and Qu's mother were stunned.

Qu Jingxi turned around and took out the things he bought, and counted them one by one: "This piece of cloth is for mother to make another winter coat, and I have bought all the cotton. This piece is for dad, and these two pieces are for summer clothes. When the time comes, you and the elders will each make a set, so you can change and wash."

"This cloth strip is for Dad's hair, and this hairpin is for Mother." Qu Jingxi took another basket and took out the same ones, "Daddy's waist and shoulders are not good. This is the ointment I bought specially. I can put it on after taking a bath at night. Once every other day, I bought you twenty stickers."

"Mother's stomach is not good, just like my sisters, so I bought more millet this time, and you will boil some every day and raise it slowly. Even if you can't improve your stomach, at least it won't get worse. There are also red dates, which are also for mother..."

Qu's mother and Qu's father couldn't help lowering their heads and wiping away their tears, hugging Qu Jing and weeping, they didn't ask about the money anymore, and turned a blind eye to the things he bought for Zhaodi's three sisters.
