She is already six years old, and the daughter of Uncle Qi's family next door is only three years older than her. Now she stays at home all day long, learning some cooking skills from popular women, and waiting to get married!
It is normal here for a girl to get engaged at the age of nine and get married at the age of thirteen. Some families are really unable to make a living, so they are taken away by their husband's family when they are nine years old and raised in her husband's family. When they are thirteen years old, they are directly exposed to them.
The man's ancestors only need to kowtow before consummating the marriage.
The so-called child brides, child brides, are really common here. Even in this village, there are several girls who were taken to their in-laws after they turned nine years old.
I remember that when they were picked up, Wan Qing also went to take a look. The mother and daughter were crying so miserably... But there was nothing they could do. There were so many children, most of them girls, that the family could not afford to raise them.
It is better to be a child bride than to be a slave for the rest of your life! Anyway, you will get married sooner or later, but it just happened a few years earlier.
"Catch the rabbit, catch the rabbit." Wan Qing was very happy and followed Xiao Hongyun in a hurry, preparing to go into the mountain.
Speaking of which, Wan Qing has always been a little surprised that Xiao Hongyun is someone who has always made a living by hunting.
She looked very weak. Although, in the first half month after Wan Qing came to this house, I often saw her crying, but later she never shed a tear. However, she still looked petite.
Small, soft and weak.
At the beginning, Wan Qing thought that she was a lady from a certain family or a noble lady. Even after seeing the situation of that family and the situation of the small village, she still felt that Xiao Hongyun was not at all.
She is suitable here, she is suitable for golden buildings, jade carvings, gorgeous clothes...
However, six years have passed, and Wan Qing has to admit that some people are born to be so rich. But she is a real poor person.
Also, what kind of lady can actually do laundry and cook, go hunting and dig traps in the mountains, climb trees to collect herbs, and catch shrimps and fish in the water... all with her own hands and shoulders, she can shoulder the responsibility of raising her two children.
Heavy burden!
Wan Qing also went into the mountains with Xiao Hongyun. Xiao Hongyun, her adoptive mother in this world, was really professional.
