Sun's nephew, whose name is Sun Xiaolei, has been helping in the cafeteria these days. He walked over before dawn in the morning and went back after finishing the lunch meal.
Cheng Wanwan has met him several times. He is indeed a tall boy. He talks very little and is very diligent in his work. There is nothing wrong with him.
But the marriage between cousin and cousin... Although it was very common in this era, she could not get over this hurdle in her heart.
Mrs. Zhao has always been cruel to others, and she can't find fault with this child: "It's really good. I will marry Chunhua in the future..."
"I won't marry!" Chunhua put down the kitchen knife and walked over, "I don't want to get married yet!"
"You girl, what nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Sun pinched her arm, "You are already sixteen and you are not married yet. Do you want to be an old girl? If you are willing, I am not willing, so get married as soon as possible. That's right! Xiaolei is your cousin. You two have known each other since you were young. He will definitely protect you after you get married. This is the best marriage, and both your grandma and auntie agree!"
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
She didn't agree, but it was not easy to interfere in other people's affairs!
But since she was mentioned, she might as well express her opinion.
"His third aunt, don't force the child." Cheng Wanwan said in a gentle voice, "The person who spends the rest of her life with Xiaolei is Chunhua. It depends on whether Chunhua likes her or not."
Chunhua pursed her lips: "I don't like it!"
Mrs. Sun rolled up her sleeves: "Tell me clearly today, why don't you like me?"
Although the life of the Sun family is not as good as that of the Zhao family, her mother-in-law and father-in-law are uncle and aunt, and they are close to each other. After getting married, she will not be made difficult by her husband's family. Otherwise, she will not think about marrying her mother's family. She only thinks about this damn girl. , this damn girl actually said she didn’t want to, she was really treating her like a donkey out of kindness!
"Cousin Xiao Lei is indeed good, but my feelings for cousin Xiao Lei haven't reached the point where I can endure my aunt for him!" Chunhua lowered her head and said, "Just look at my aunt's attitude towards my cousin. My cousin has been married for five years and has given birth to three daughters, but my aunt never regards her as a human being..."
"Your aunt is right to do this. If a woman can't give birth to a son, does she still want to be supported by others?" Sun said with a puffy belly, "But don't worry, this is your biological aunt, she will definitely treat you as her daughter, no. I will treat you harshly... Besides, you have a big butt, so you will have no problem giving birth to a son..."
Chunhua said stubbornly: "Forcing my daughter-in-law to have a son is just one of the things. In short, I don't like my aunt, and I don't want my aunt to be my mother-in-law. Anyway, I can't marry my cousin Xiaolei!"
After she finished speaking, she covered her face and ran out of the yard.
"Damn girl, don't come back if you dare!" Ms. Sun yelled, "You actually despise your aunt as your mother-in-law. Where do you have the confidence? This damn girl is so hard-hitting that she doesn't even dare to listen to what I say... Ouch, I'm so angry. I have a stomach ache!"
Old Mrs. Zhao threw down the things in her hands and said with a straight face: "I have met your sister-in-law a few times. She seems to be cunning and mean. Chunhua must have suffered at her hands, otherwise she would not be so repulsive. ! Since the child doesn’t want to get married, then forget it, there are many good men in the village, and you still have to worry about not being able to get married!”
Sun held her stomach and screamed.
She wanted to marry Chunhua for two selfish reasons. First, to make her more intimate, Chunhua would not be tortured by her evil mother-in-law in the future. Second, the Sun family is really too poor. Now that Chunhua has a skill, she can make the Sun family rich.
This was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone, but no one in the family thought about the problem from her perspective.
"It hurts, my stomach hurts so much..."
Mrs. Sun held her belly in her hands and her expression didn't look like she was faking it.
Wenshi wiped her hands and came over: "His third aunt, let me help you lie down on the bed and have a rest. Do you want to make some egg soup for you to fill your stomach?"
Sun nodded immediately: "I am indeed hungry."
Cheng Wanwan shook her head helplessly: "I'll go talk to Chunhua and see what she thinks."
She stood up and walked out of the yard, standing on the high ground of the big locust tree in the village, and looked into the fields. Many farmers were tending the fields by the moonlight. The round moon hung in the sky, and the grass and trees on the ground were shrouded in a layer of light. , the big river is sparkling, there are many children fishing for fish, shrimps and snails by the river, and there is a pretty figure sitting by the river.
Cheng Wanwan walked over and sat down next to her.
"Auntie." Chunhua lowered her eyes, "Did my mother ask the aunt to persuade me?"
"If I come to persuade you, will you marry Sun Xiaolei?" Cheng Wanwan casually picked up a blade of grass and played with it, "Tell me, why do you reject your aunt so much?"
Chunhua hugged her knees and said softly: "Every time I go to my maternal home, I see my aunt bullying my cousin. One time, I saw my cousin hiding behind the house and crying, so I chatted with her for a while. The eldest cousin actually has embroidery skills. When she was not married, she would exchange embroidery for money. After she got married, the aunt did not allow the eldest cousin to go to the city alone again. All things at home, feeding chickens, ducks and pigs , I let my eldest cousin do all the cooking, laundry and sweeping. Her hands are ruined and she can no longer embroider a handkerchief..."
"My eldest cousin said that after she married my cousin Dalei, she never left Guihua Village, and she never even went back to her parents' home. It's not that she didn't want to go back, but her aunt didn't allow it, saying that she was not qualified because she didn't have a son... I I feel that my eldest aunt is too scary. If I marry her, will I not be allowed to work in Daheyan? If I can’t give birth to a son, will I not be allowed to return to Dahe Village..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.
"I feel that my life is very happy now. I don't want to be trapped at home after getting married, and I don't want to take all kinds of folk remedies to give birth to a son... I want to help my aunt to make the Dahe Banquet a prosperous one. I want to become a better person." Like my sister-in-law, who is an excellent cook, I want to do what I want to do..."
After listening to Chunhua's inner monologue, Cheng Wanwan couldn't help but sigh.
When she first came to this era, the Chunhua she knew was an ordinary rural girl. Unexpectedly, after working in the Dahe Yan Restaurant for a few months and seeing the world, she actually developed the idea of a strong woman in this era. For girls, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Cheng Wanwan patted her on the shoulder: "I can only say that I can help convince your mother not to marry you to the Sun family, but it is unlikely that you will remain unmarried."
"Of course I won't stay unmarried forever, but I just don't want to..."
Chunhua pursed her lips.
She wants to find a mother-in-law who is like a aunt. If her mother-in-law is good, her son will definitely be good...
While the two were talking, a figure hurried over, it was Dong Hua.
"Sister, it's not good, my mother was so angry with you that she gave birth prematurely and shed a lot of blood!" Donghua's face turned pale under the moonlight, "If something happens to my mother and my brother, you will be doomed!"
Chunhua's pupils suddenly opened wide, then she got up and ran towards home quickly.
