Qiao Chu asked Gua Niang to call Sun Qiao Niang over.
As soon as Sun Qiaoniang came in, she started crying before she spoke.
Qiao Chu had already finished feeding the baby and handed it over to Chen Qingshan to feed him complementary food and change his sling. However, he did not comfort Sun Qiao Niang, only waiting for her to calm down.
Sun Qiaoniang had already adapted to Qiao Chu's calm temperament, which gave her an inexplicable sense of stability. She quickly calmed down and began to talk about the situation at home.
"After my husband died, because my mother-in-law had no place to go, I thought that if I remarried, I would take my mother-in-law with me, but my parents didn't agree, so they went around saying that I was a swindler..."
Sun Qiaoniang wants to take her mother-in-law to remarry. Although this is a respectable thing, not many people in this world can accept it.
After all, no one has extra rice to feed an old woman, so naturally no one wants to marry her.
When the Sun family saw that Sun Qiaoniang would not listen to their advice and it would be difficult for her to remarry, they went around saying that Sun Qiaoniang was trying to defeat her husband's fate, and simply stopped her from remarrying.
Aren’t you disobedient? Then don’t even think about it!
Sun Qiaoniang was also resentful of her mother's family's decisive behavior, so they broke off all contact with each other.
In addition, my mother-in-law later became paralyzed and couldn't live without anyone, so the two parties simply pretended that there was no such thing as a relationship.
But who would have thought that Sun Qiaoniang and Man Xiong would actually see eye to eye.
Although this bear is a slave who signed a contract to sell himself, he is also the slave of the semi-immortal Qiao Chuqiao!
I heard that wild bears and bulls often go into the mountains to collect herbs and hunt, and they can earn a lot of money!
So the Sun family heard the news and took the initiative to come to the house again, offering Man Xiong a betrothal gift of fifty taels of silver.
"They are so shameless! I haven't seen them when I was eating branyan vegetables here for so many years. Now that I want to remarry, they actually have the nerve to come out and ask for a bride price!" Sun Qiaoniang said, her eyes red again.
"You mean you don't want to give me a single copper?"
"Yes! I don't want to give even a single copper! I gave the money to them, and they all gave it to my second brother to spend the day and night outside. Why should I give it?!" Sun Qiaoniang gritted her teeth.
"What does Barbarian Bear mean?" Qiao Chu asked.
"He listens to me, but I'm not happy!" Speaking of the bear, Sun Qiaoniang's expression softened.
"Okay, I understand. I'll ask about the situation again. When someone comes from your parents' home, you can bring them to me." Qiao Chu took matters into his own hands, sent Sun Qiaoniang away, and called Man Xiong later.
mother and son.
Man Xiong didn't care. He had made a lot of money recently. Although he spent a lot of money to repair the house, he still had some money left.
The most important thing is that Man Xiong's confidence has greatly increased now, and he deeply feels that he can make more money in the future!
The bear's mother obviously had a longer-term consideration: "I don't care about money at first. I'm just afraid that this incident will upset Qiao Niang and make it difficult to get along with her in the future."
Qiao Chu came to some understanding: there is a saying that "help relatives but not care".
Sun Qiaoniang is so persistent that she does not want to give money to her mother's family. If Barbarian Bear takes the initiative to relent and wants to give it, it will inevitably make Sun Qiaoniang feel chilled.
Maybe Sun Qiaoniang will feel that the bear mother and son do not value her opinions...
This crux... still exists with Sun Qiaoniang.
Qiao Chu strolled over to Sun Qiao Niang.
Manxiong's house is just over Sun Qiaoniang's small yard.
In a small yard sandwiched between two new buildings, Sun Qiaoniang was feeding the chickens neatly with a dustpan. She sprinkled the rice bran down, and several chickens chased and pecked at the rice.
My mother-in-law, who was once paralyzed, was sitting on the edge of the yard, sewing a piece of clothing in her hand.
Seeing Qiao Chu coming to the door, Sun Qiaoniang quickly dropped the dustpan and moved a stool for Qiao Chu to sit on.
Qiao Chu waved her hands and sat down, stopping Sun Qiaoniang from wanting to go inside to get some food to entertain her: "Sit down, I just want to ask you a question."
"You ask." Sun Qiaoniang then sat down and rubbed her clothes slightly nervously.
"You decided not to give your mother's family a copper coin this time when you got married to Barbarian Bear, right?" Qiao Chu asked.
"Yes." Sun Qiaoniang was about to get excited again, but she heard Qiao Chu answer: "That's okay. You just need to be firm. If they come to make trouble, you call me."
ah?
That's okay?
Is this... supporting your own ideas?
Sun Qiaoniang couldn't believe her ears for a moment.
After the incident spread, everyone in the village tried to persuade them to let Barbarian Bear give some betrothal gifts to her parents' family.
"Anyway, the bear has money, and the bear is willing to give it anyway."
"Why should this kind of thing be taken seriously?"
"It's not good for me to have a complete falling out with my parents' family!"
"People will say that you are heartless..."
She understands the truth, but Sun Qiaoniang just can't get over that hurdle!
Seeing that it was hard to do anything alone, when everyone thought they could give a little, Qiao Chu suddenly stood on her side and told her, "As long as you are firm"...
Sun Qiaoniang grabbed Qiao Chu's hand and started to cry: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Chu Chu, I'm not the heartless person...it's really them..."
Sun Qiaoniang trembled with her lips and patted her heart hard, expressing that she was really hurt by her mother-in-law's family.
Qiao Chu was not used to being dragged to cry like this. He turned over and held the back of Sun Qiaoniang's hand, put it on his lap and patted it: "I understand... I understand..."
I understand shit!
I only know that everyone has their own knots in their hearts. When Sun Qiaoniang was a widow, she might also be full of expectations for her mother-in-law's family.
But when her mother-in-law's family only regarded her as a tool for marrying off in exchange for betrothal gifts, her heart gradually grew cold.
Her parents wanted her to leave her mother-in-law and remarry, but she didn't agree. When her parents spread the word that she was destined to be her husband, she gave up completely, right?!
But logical understanding and emotional resonance are two different things.
The joys and sorrows between people are never the same.
With Qiao Chu's temperament, she would never be as excited and desperate as Sun Qiaoniang about the same thing.
Because Qiao Chu has long known that no matter what happens, he can only rely on himself.
After he settled the matter with Sun Qiaoniang without hesitation, and called Sun Qiaoniang's mother-in-law to accompany Sun Qiaoniang, Qiao Chu left the scene in embarrassment.
After coming out of Sun Qiao's parents' house, when the wind blew, Qiao Chu realized that her inner clothes were all wet!
"Huh..." Qiao Chu let out a breath: Oh my god, I'm so exhausted! It's more tiring than a fight!
Seeing Qiao Chu come out, Man Xiong mother and son immediately asked Qiao Chu to go and have a look at their new house.
This time my boss came back and I haven’t even come in to see it yet!
From a geographical point of view, Qiaojia Village is naturally incomparable to the area in Xing'an County.
But this new house with large blue bricks and tiles is much better than the small shabby yard in Xing'an County!
The bear's mother would even rather live here.
There are familiar villagers nearby. The villagers only know that Barbarian Bear is down-to-earth and willing to work now, but have no experience of Barbarian Bear's extortion in the past.
What a good impression it leaves!
In addition, this place is close to the mountains. Bears and bulls go up to the mountains to hunt and collect herbs to earn money, making it easier to get back and forth.
Now we are getting married again...
The days are really getting better and better! When the mother and son talked about it, they were very happy.
