Porridge and side dishes [farming]

Chapter 53

Li Ji doesn't have any other great skills, but when faced with this mess in the village, Li Ji has a lot of cleverness.

"Aren't you unwilling to listen to your father's offer to fill in someone's house?" Li Ji asked.

Li Qiaoer nodded with a sob, which big girl is willing to marry a widower who can be her own father?And still don't know.

"Then think about it, if you don't want to marry your father and force you, you think there is no other way but to force you to your death, but what about Er Gouzi? You say you want to marry Er Gouzi, isn't it just doing something with your father?" Same thing?"

Li Qiaoer was stunned for a moment, with more embarrassment on his face.There is really no reason for a big girl to come to force a marriage.How could Li Qiaoer not know this, but if she didn't, he would marry the widower who had a daughter in a few days.I heard that his daughter is just thirteen this year, and it will take another two years for her to marry.

He must be particularly afraid of Li Qiaoer giving birth to a younger brother for him.She herself is only three years older than her, and she doesn't know how miserable it will be after marrying her.

"I...I really can't help it." After saying that, Li Qiaoer was about to cry again, but Li Ji hurriedly stopped.

"Don't be so busy crying, just listen to me." Li Ji picked up the tea bowl and took a sip to moisten his throat, "You really have nowhere to go, your father is forcing you because of your reputation, and fourth uncle, I love you. You really listen Mine, I will settle this matter for you. I agreed with you to come to my house often, and I will take a share in the impact on your reputation, so I can't ruin you for nothing. "

Li Qiaoer hurriedly said: "I'll listen, I'll listen to everything! To be honest, fourth uncle, I haven't looked for other people in the village, but I have never looked for others in the village, but everyone said that the parents are the masters of marriage. If I don't agree, it is unfilial. I also know that I am unfilial. Yes, but in this life, can't you let me do it once?"

Li Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, counting the cards in his heart.

"Listen to me. After a while, you wipe away your tears and go out directly to my nephew Li Jin's house to find his wife Erying. Just say that I said it, and ask her to send me a message about your elder brother from tomorrow. You must be like my sister Li Yan, ah, you should be called Li Yangu."

Li Qiaoer didn't understand, and asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Li Ji had an old look on his face: "Don't ask, you will know when the time comes. After you finish talking to Erying, you will go home and stay. How your father arranges you how to nod. When the time comes, even if you go out to sit Get on the sedan chair and your father can pull you back."

What Li Ji said was swearing, Li Qiaoer believed it even if she didn't believe it at this time, because besides Li Ji, she really couldn't find anyone else.

"Okay, I'll listen to my fourth uncle. I'll go find Erying's sister-in-law right away."

Li Ji at this time is undoubtedly the last straw for Li Qiaoer, no matter whether it works or not, he must pay close attention to it.

Li Qiaoer wiped away her tears and felt more at ease.If Li Ji can't comment on this matter, then it's useless for Li Qiaoer to cry more.

Li Qiaoer went out, Li Ji heaved a sigh of relief.If Li Qiaoer is really sure about marrying Er Gouzi and the whole village knows about it, then not only Li Qiaoer's reputation will be bad, but the reputation of Li Ji and Er Gouzi will also be completely rotten.

The girl came to the door and turned her away, and watched the girl marry a widower twice her age and stand by. If this reputation spread, the two would definitely be spit on.

This is the fact, others don't care whether you want to marry someone or not, as long as they fall into the fire pit because of your "if" not doing it, then it's your fault.It is good that it is the father who forces the marriage, but the father has the right to decide the marriage of the children, so the responsibility will only fall on those who do not want to marry.

This is a fallacy, illogical and unreasonable, but it is like this in life.

Li Ji helped Li Qiaoer, and also helped himself and Er Gouzi.

At the same age as Li Qiaoer, she was forced to fill in a house for other people. In the final analysis, it was the rumors that Li Qiaoer in the village posted and was disliked.As long as this rumor is broken, the rest will be solved.

Li Qiaoer left and Er Gouzi came back.

Er Gouzi didn't ask, but stared at Li Ji, waiting for Li Ji to give him an answer.

Noticing Er Gouzi's gaze, Li Ji smiled and said, "Come on Er Gouzi, I'll teach you a few nice words."

Li Ji did not find the wrong person, and within two days the rumor that Li Qiaoer looked like Li Yan spread throughout the village.It has been 13 years since Li Yan died, and those who were familiar with Li Yan back then are almost dead, and the rest of the people's memory of Li Yan is also blurred.

The left and right are both surnamed Li. Although they are far away in blood, their resemblance is nothing new.

But after having this statement, the rumors about Li Qiaoer's back post gradually changed.

Er Gouzi left his mother at the age of five. It is normal for him to have an impression of his mother's appearance from the age of five to now.If because Li Qiaoer looks like Li Yan, in order to comfort Er Gouzi to adapt faster, it is normal for Li Qiaoer to be more diligent.

On Li Qiaoer's side, after hearing Li Ji's words, she stopped trying to persuade his father when he got home, and his father nodded at everything.

Li Shuisheng looked at Li Qiaoer's performance, and guessed that it was what Li Ji said that made Li Qiaoer give up.Although I was not willing in my heart, there was nothing I could do.He is just such a daughter, and he thought that he would not have to worry about becoming a wealthy son-in-law like Er Gouzi, so he didn't want to pay Li Qiaoer's reputation instead.

The more this happened, the more anxious Li Shuisheng was to betroth Li Qiaoer.Because Li Qiaoer is still at home for a day, he will be poked in the spine for a day.

So since Li Qiaoer is destined not to marry a second dog, then Li Shuisheng has to hurry up and make an appointment with the widower to marry Li Qiaoer.

He said he was cruel and he admitted it.It is good for his first five sons and daughters to marry, and it cannot be ruined by Li Qiaoer alone.If Li Qiaoer stayed at home for a long time, the girl he married before would probably have no face in her husband's house.

Li Shuisheng and his wife didn't dare to go out because of the recent rumors, so they didn't know the latest rumors in the village. They just kept in touch with the widower and thought about their birthday when they had time, so they made a serious decision.

The couple really knew it was time to fetch water.It was Li Shuisheng's daughter-in-law who came to carry water.Recently, he was afraid that the village would talk about his daughter, so he usually stayed away.

Eight of the ten people who came to carry water were daughters-in-law. In winter, the more diligent men could chop firewood and pour slop, but the lazy ones were all doing all the work in the house as daughters-in-law.

Some women went to carry water and saw other people's husbands came out to envy them, and went back to tell their husbands to push their husbands to carry water, which was three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.There are always more women than men who come to carry water.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi used water separately from the villagers, but waited for the water together. This time, Li Ji should have gone to buy water, but there was a plan today, so Er Gouzi went.

Li Ji was leaning against the crooked neck tree. The women in the village gathered the most at this time, and of course they talked.

Recently, the hot topic in the village is about Li Qiaoer. Recently, there have been rumors that Li Qiaoer is like Li Yan, and they all want to clarify the matter.They talked to each other for a while, then they set their eyes on Li Ji.

They looked at each other, discussing who would come to ask, and finally an older woman came over and greeted Li Ji with a casual face.

"Actually, fourth uncle, your life is not easy. The livestock at home have not yet grown up. It's a pity to kill the ones that raise waste water. You can't use the water. You can only buy water every day and stick to it."

Li Ji sighed with a sad face: "What else can I do, this matter will have to be endured by anyone. Anyway, Er Gouzi and I helped each other and passed."

Anyone who hears Li Ji's words will say that he is pretending, because everyone knows that Li Ji's family is in the best situation in the whole village, so how will others live by saying this?

The woman didn't think about it, and after Li Ji finished speaking, she hurriedly followed up: "Then you didn't think about finding a woman to help at home? Fourth uncle, you and Er Gouzi are both of marriageable age, and it doesn't matter who gets married first." What's the matter, haven't you thought about it?"

Li Ji smiled and shook his head: "I'll forget it. Now the family has a lot of work. It's not good to marry a daughter-in-law and let her suffer. Wait for two years to stabilize and save more money. I won't be wronged. Er Gouzi I can't help it here, but if he can look at women more, he won't be in his 20s without a wife."

The woman was just waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly said: "Didn't Qiao'er often go to Uncle Shuisheng's house some time ago? At that time, we were all waiting for the wedding wine, why didn't there be any afterwords?"

Li Ji looked at her strangely, and said amusedly, "What about weddings and not weddings? They were brothers and sisters at that time. This joke can't be played casually. It's okay for Er Gouzi to be a young man, but Qiao girl is an innocent girl." .”

The woman whispered mysteriously: "Fourth Uncle, you don't know. It's spread all over the village, saying that Qiaoer came to the door and put Er Gouzi down."

"Tsk." Li Ji frowned, and also cursed in a low voice, "What kind of rotten mouth is spreading gossip. Qiaoer was clearly called by me, why did he post it?"

As soon as the woman heard that there was a door, she followed Li Ji's words and said, "Isn't that right, because I got angry twice because of this matter. People in a village don't see each other when they look up. How about Qiaoer? Do you know? Fourth Uncle, you said that you called Qiaoer over, what? You want to match them up?"

"I have this idea." Li Ji sighed, "Isn't that the case? Er Gouzi knew me, and no one else paid attention to me. I saw her say a few more words to Qiaoer that day, and it happened that Qiaoer's father had That means, so I called Qiaoer over every three days to see if I could make Er Gouzi open up and say a few more words. After a long time, Er Gouzi didn't even pay much attention to Qiaoer, so I didn't do it anymore. Call her over."

The woman continued: "Er Gouzi can say a few more words, isn't it because he is interesting to other girls?"

The author has something to say: My great-grandfather is gone, and I will go to the funeral in these two days, so the update time will be very unstable. If I don’t fight these two days, it depends on the manuscript, and it will never change tomorrow.
