Chapter 10 Yang's daughter 1

When Liu saw that Liu was anxious and was afraid that her hot temper would make her turn around and leave immediately, she quickly comforted her: "I know that the local villagers in Xiaoqi Village do not have the custom of sending and raising children and daughters-in-law, but child brides are extremely common in our hometown. I also think that your family is not living a good now, and I want to find a daughter-in-law who has been**able since childhood and can only be satisfactory when she has been a child..."

"So I took the liberty to propose this method for you to treat Qi Niang as my second son-in-law, and I will help you raise Qi Niang well. As soon as the age of the two children arrives, I will immediately let them get married and let Qi Niang be the daughter-in-law of the Wang family!"

"So that I have a good daughter-in-law, and you can also reduce the burden and raise a daughter less. What's wrong with this? Besides, I plan to raise Qi Niang as a serious daughter-in-law. It's not like Ding Yayu who just wants to coax your seven daughters to sell money, and our two families are close. Even if Qi Niang supports your Yang's family, she can come to visit at any time!"

Liu said a lot of words in one breath, but Liu still shook his head frequently and said, "This matter is never workable!" I heard that the daughter who is a child bride has a very miserable life in her mother-in-law's house, which is no different from the slave maidservant..."

The custom of marrying in Xiaoqi Village, where Liu grew up, is very unique and they are not interested in raising children's daughter-in-law. However, the Wang family moved to Xiaoqi Village from the north of Hui'an. Therefore, the customs followed are somewhat different from those followed by the locals of Xiaoqi Village. That's why the Liu family proposed to let Yang Qiniang go to the Wang family as a child bride.

As soon as Yang Momo heard Liu's proposal, she suddenly opened her eyes wide. She didn't expect that Liu would suddenly ask Yang Qiniang to cross the door to be a child daughter-in-law. When she came to her senses, her little head immediately turned quickly and wanted to find out some rules related to the child daughter-in-law.

Yang Momo knows that there are child daughters-in-law in all dynasties in China, and is also called "waiting bride-in-law" and "daughter-in-law" by the ancients, which means that the mother-in-law raises a baby and young daughter, and waits until the child becomes an adult to formally get married.

In ancient times, people were willing to send their own daughters as child brides, either because the family was poor and unable to support them, or because they were afraid that they could not afford to prepare their daughter's dowry in the future and delay their daughter's marriage. In short, it was all because of the word "poor"!

Yang Momo knew that in ancient times, men and women had to spend a lot of money on marriage, brideship and dowry. This custom that has been circulating for thousands of years was powerless for ordinary people to resist, so some people came up with a way to send and raise children and daughters-in-law.

This method allows the man to bring a child daughter-in-law back early, which not only allows the mother-in-law to have an extra labor force, but also allows the mother-in-law to ** daughter-in-law according to their own meaning since childhood. When you grow up and officially get married, the ceremony is much simpler than a big marriage. The man doesn't need to spend more money and things to prepare bride price, and the woman doesn't need to prepare a dowry.

In this way, ordinary people will not have the trouble of "marrying a daughter" and "marrying a daughter-in-law", so because of the custom of child brides, there is a saying that "farmers can't have six gifts, how young and young adopters", that is to say, wedding customs are one of the customs that make child brides prevail. Reason.

Yang Momo took care of everything he knew about his child daughter-in-law, and immediately sadly found that the current situation of the Yang family was really the same as the helpless family who sent his daughter to be the child daughter-in-law - he was too poor to open the pot and had to borrow rice to live.

Yang Momo thought about Liu's purpose from another perspective. Judging from Liu's family background, she will not be able to handle the marriage of her sons in the future, so she will either really want to marry a satisfactory daughter-in-law for her son, or she will want to take Yang Banniang from Xiao**, or she just want Yang Ba Mother came to give their family free labor.

How could Yang Momo, an ancient man, not think of anything that modern people can think of?

Even Liu knew what Liu was worried about and directly opened his mouth to relieve her worries: "Dzhu daughter-in-law, are you worried that Qi Niang will suffer and be beaten after arriving at our Wang family?"

Liu nodded and affirmed Liu's speculation. Seeing this, Liu smiled and said, "What I want is a satisfactory daughter-in-law, not a slave maidservant that I can beat and scold. If I want such a slave maidservant, I will directly find a tooth to buy it back. Isn't the slave maidservant with a deed of sale in my hand more obed?"

Although Liu's words were sincere, Liu still closed her mouth and did not answer. Liu was not annoyed when she saw the situation. She only slowly talked about the benefits of this matter: "This child daughter-in-law is going to ask him to be a notary to set up a marriage certificate. After the marriage certificate is made, I will also talk to your family about some money and things. These money and things are also just So that it can solve the urgent needs of your family.

"With the marriage certificate, Qi Niang is also the Hun family that my Erlang Ming media is marrying in the future. No matter how it is, it is much better than being a slave to others! Besides, my daughter will get married sooner or later. Since she wants to marry sooner or later, what's the difference between early and late marriage?

"But..."

Liu only said the word "but" and did not go on. She knew that Liu was full of kindness, so she did not scold her as much as she scolded Ding Yayu that day. Liu is also a smart person. I guessed that Liu was worried that after arriving at the Wang family, Yang Qiniang would not only have a low status at home, but also do a lot of housework day and night, or be abused by her mother-in-law.

But Liu believes that Liu also knows that not all child daughter-in-law's life in her mother-law's house are so miserable, so she patiently continues to persuade Liu: "It's not necessarily good to be a child daughter-in-law. When it comes to a kind-hearted family, the child daughter-in-law will live a better life than in her biological parents' home, and some I have a chance to be sent to study and read by my husband's family!"

"Although I dare not promise Dazhu's daughter-in-law that I will be better than my own son, I will try my best to treat her as myself, and I can guarantee that I will never beat and scold Qi Niang for no reason. You and my two hometowns don't look up and look down, and I won't make the relationship so rigid. Right?"

Liu's heartfelt words, not to mention Liu, even the well-informed Yang Momo was almost moved by her. However, Yang Momo has always been a modern person. No matter how she is, she can't get used to this kind of sale and arranged marriage in feudal society. She believes that Yang Qiniang's marriage should wait for her to grow up and let her Decide and choose by yourself.

So even if Liu has sincerely told the benefits of his daughter-in-law, and Liu seems to sincerely want to help the Yang family, Yang Momo immediately used his own must-kill skill - crying.

As soon as Liu saw her daughter suddenly cry, she didn't have time to consider Liu's proposal. She picked up the bag of brown rice that Liu had already packed and hurriedly said goodbye: "This child will make trouble after staying in one place for a long time. I have to quickly take her to another place to breathe. Today, I borrowed brown rice from Sister-in-law Wang, and our family will survive. After this level, I will pay it back with the rice owed before.

Although Liu did not agree to Liu's proposal, Liu politely sent their mother and daughter out of the house and said generously, "My rice is not in a hurry to return it. It's not too late when you are rich."

Liu thanked Liu and said, "Then thank you, sister-in-law Wang."

"Dazhu's daughter-in-law, take your time. Go back and discuss with your Dazhu about what I just mentioned. It's not a bad thing to marry Qi Niang to our house. At least I will definitely let her eat and wear warm clothes."

Liu's last words of "eat and wear warm" really moved Liu. As soon as she returned to the ship, she ordered Yang Dalang to go to the field to find Yang Dazhu. She repeatedly thought about Liu's words. After Liu's eyes inadvertently swept the bottomed rice jar, her heart was finally difficult. The decision was made.

As soon as Yang Dazhu came back, Liu pulled him into the cabin and said that he put down the curtain and whispered, "The head of the village Wang family is willing to take Qi Niang back as a child daughter-in-law. What do you think?"

"Child daughter-in-law?!"

Yang Dazhu first repeated Liu's words in surprise, and then refused without thinking about it: "I don't agree. Didn't you send Qi Niang to suffer?"

Liu was not happy to hear Yang Dazhu's words. His eyes were horizontal, his mouth pouted, and he said, "How can I become the stepmother who sent my daughter to suffer? Say something unpleasant - Qi Niang really went to the Wang family, and maybe she can fill her stomach! If you don't want your daughter to suffer, then make more money!"

Liu couldn't help shaking her shoulders and crying, crying and complaining, "Do you think Qi Niang is only five years old, so I'm willing to marry her to someone else's house as such a small child?" I don't think that the Wang family is well off, Liu's heart is still kind, and Wang Erlang looks quite clever and sensible..."

"Only then will I want to marry them and get some money and things, so as to solve the urgent needs of our big family. How can I fall into a bad reputation when I think about everyone like this?"

After hearing this, Yang Dazhu sighed for a long time, and then walked over and hugged Liu in his arms. He asked with some uncomfortable questions, "What did the Wang family say?"

"Liu said that she wanted to be Wang Erlang's daughter-in-law. If we agreed, she would go to Lizheng to set up a marriage certificate. When Qi Niang grew up and had a marriage with Wang Erlang. Even if she was the daughter-in-law being married by Ming media, Liu also promised me that she would not beat and scold our Qi Niang." Liu paused and whispered: " Liu also said that he would talk to our family about some money and things to help our family overcome this difficult time.

After listening to Liu's words, Yang Dazhu fell into silence and several times wanted to spit out the word "good" after Liu's words, but it seemed that there was a thorn in his throat, so that he could not say the word "good"...
