Chapter 3: calculating
"Auntie, can you tell grandma to let me get married on another day?"
Li Haitang scolded the eighteen generations of Li family ancestors in his heart, and then said slowly, "My mother just left, I..."
In the Li family, the male lead outside and the female lead inside, generally the old lady of the Li family is in charge of major matters. Li Haitang thought about it and decided to try the delaying technique.
She has just arrived and is not familiar with everything. She wants to slap her **** and leave, but her conscience is disturbed. Once she leaves, the Li family will definitely not give good fruit to her younger brother Li Jinhu.
The younger brother is only nine years old, and he is still a baby, so he must not be left to be spoiled by the wonderful flowers of the Li family. Li Haitang feels that he has a heavy responsibility, and to arrange for the original owner's only relative is to give an explanation to the original owner.
"Which way?"
Liu was shocked, then squinted her eyes, and became alert. Could it be that her niece Li Haitang had other plans? In her impression, the niece is a quiet and honest person, and she can't see any intentions.
No wonder Mrs. Liu was alarmed. This dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. When parents died, as children, they had to observe filial piety for three years and were not allowed to marry. Yamen Yamen is a felony, but you will be jailed.
If we wait three years later, Li Haitang will be eighteen years old, and he will be an old girl in eight villages, so he may not be able to fetch a good price.
Li Haitang searched in her mind and got the same information. She lay on the bed, turned over again, racked her brains, and said that she could not marry the old scourge who was about to enter the coffin.
"Haitang, don't you still miss the eldest son of Widow Sun's family?"
Mrs. Liu lost all sleepiness, fearing that Li Haitang would make something wrong, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds, sat by the oil lamp, and spitting out the skins of the melon seeds very quickly while talking.
There are many migrant households in Lijia Village, and Widow Sun is one of them. Sun Xing, the only son of Widow Sun, is really a sweetheart.
Widow Sun is a woman, it is not easy to raise a child, and she is a tough person. Although she is an outsider and has no clan support, she is a ruthless character that no one dares to provoke.
The reason is the same, Widow Sun has good ears, and she knows almost all the messy things about anyone's family. If she is offended, she will spread the word that everyone knows it.
Although Widow Sun is hot-tempered, her son is good-natured, tall and thin, fair-faced, able to read and write, and works as a clerk in a rice shop in the town.
"No."
Li Haitang's voice was muffled, she rubbed her heart with her hands, when the aunt Liu mentioned Sun Xing, the widow's son, she immediately felt a dull pain in her heart, and then, countless memories flooded into her mind.
Sun Xingsi is gentle, different from the mud-legged people in the village. Wearing a long gown, even if it is washed white, it is spotless. He has a light smile, and when he looks at her, his eyes are pampering.
The two were interested in each other, thinking that the time was ripe, they begged their parents to help them, and their relationship was well-regulated, without any overstepping.
In just a few months, Li Haitang's parents passed away one after another. When mourning, almost all the villagers came, but Widow Sun's son was nowhere to be seen. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m
Immediately afterwards, Li Haitang was assigned to Qin Yuanwai, and she ran out with a small burden on her back, begging Sun Xing to take her to elope, as long as she leaves Li's house, she can go anywhere.
What he got was a dodge look, and Sun Xing told her that he was getting married, and he was asking for the daughter of the shopkeeper of the rice grain shop, so that he could become the second shopkeeper.
He asked Li Haitang to marry him, then conspired with him to conceive his child, made Qin Yuanwai a green-haired turtle, and swallowed up the Qin family's wealth little by little.
