Chapter 139 Even if I die, I won't marry such a scoundrel!
When Old Man He and Mrs. He heard that their son-in-law Shen Yong'an had died and they had broken off their relationship with the old Shen family, they were all so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear. Mrs. Shen hugged her daughter and cried, feeling sorry for her daughter's life, while scolding Mr. Shen. That old witch Tai knows how to bully her daughter.
"Okay, you two, don't cry. It's better to break off the relationship. In the future, you will have Tianli and Tianli's wife, and your life will definitely be good." Old Shen felt sorry for his daughter who was widowed so early, but with his grandson here, he After a disaster, there will be blessings, and this family will definitely be better than before.
After hearing Tianli's daughter-in-law, Mrs. He let go of her daughter, wiped her tears, smiled and pulled Liu Ye and said: "Ye'er is so beautiful, standing with Tianli, she looks like a golden boy. .Grandpa and grandma don’t know about your marriage, so don’t dislike Yinchai Ye’er.”
With that said, he took off the silver hairpin from his head and inserted it into Liu Ye's head.
Liu Ye glanced at Shen Tianli and saw him nodding, then smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, grandpa and grandma."
Mrs. He shed tears and began to introduce her natal family.
The He family is also a large one. The eldest brother of the He family, He Shuiqing, has two sons and one daughter. He Dayu and He Eryu are already married and have two children each. The youngest, He Erniu, is fourteen years old today. engagement.
He Shuiqian has a daughter and three sons. The eldest daughter has become a monk. His two sons, He Sanyu and Siyu, are also married. Only He Sanyu has a son and a daughter. He Wuyu is thirteen years old today. The half-old boy is from Shen Tianli's face was full of smiles as soon as he entered the door, and his cousin didn't know how many times he called him.
Generally speaking, the people of the He family are very friendly, but He Erniu looks at her with dissatisfaction and even jealousy, while she looks at Shen Tianli and the He family with resentment.
Judging from the way she couldn't help but look at Shen Tianli, this little girl was also a fan of Shen Tianli, and it was popular in ancient times for cousins to marry their cousins. The look in He Erniu's eyes told her that she also wanted to marry Shen Tianli. , It's a pity that He didn't like her.
Liuye smiled at her and saw her lowering her head angrily, so she took out the greeting gifts from the package. These were all prepared by Mr. He. The elders all had a pair of cotton shoes, and the juniors and juniors all had purses. Different The thing is, the wallets of ordinary people are empty, while the wallets of juniors have a few pieces of silver.
"Oh, Ye'er's purse is so beautifully embroidered. I have never seen such a delicate purse!"
Liuye remembered who she was. She was the uncle's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Kong. She was a gentle and honest woman.
"Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law. This was all prepared by my mother!" As a good daughter-in-law, she should give all the credit to her mother-in-law.
Yang and Xu naturally guessed that there was something in their grandchildren's purses, but when they touched it, they found it was not copper plates, but silver. They couldn't be stingy, so they donated either their own silver bracelets or silver hairpins.
The younger generation was better off, and he also took out his newly embroidered purse and embroidered handkerchief. Everyone was chatting and laughing in the room, and it was a great time.
Suddenly, someone shouted outside: "Uncle He, Aunt He, are you at home?"
Hearing this voice, the He family's smile disappeared instantly, and He Erniu's face turned pale.
He Sanyu said angrily: "This bastard dares to come here today, let's see if I don't beat him to death!"
When Mrs. Xu saw that her son was already a father, he was still so impulsive. She pulled him and scolded him: "You stay in the house with Tianli, your uncle and eldest brother are outside!"
Seeing her eldest brother and sister-in-law taking the big fish out, Mrs. He asked, "Mom, what's going on?"
"Oh, it's not this girl's fault. She didn't agree with it no matter how many times I showed it to her. If we had arranged the engagement earlier, this matter wouldn't have happened now."
Mrs. He looked at Er Niu and saw that she was crying. She hurriedly asked: "Mom, what does it matter whether Er Niu is engaged or not?"
Mrs. He sighed and said: "You haven't come back in the past few years. I don't know that the village chief is not what he used to be. His daughter married Uncle Cui in the town and became the leader of the village. And He collects the fish caught by the villagers at a low price and then transports it to the town and county for sale. As you know, he is just a single fish. He was not very good-tempered at first. In the past few years, he has become more and more arrogant and domineering, and he has ruined several girls. I don't know why, but I suddenly fell in love with Erniu and insisted on getting engaged to Erniu. Just like that, I came here every now and then, so that the matchmakers around me didn't dare to propose to Erniu. Alas, Erniu is fourteen today. We can’t afford to delay!”
Erniu glanced at Shen Tianli and suddenly said: "Even if I die, I won't marry such a scoundrel!" After saying that, she covered her face and ran out crying.
Seeing He Erniu running out, Mrs. He sighed with a sad face.
Shen Tianli realized that the most important person in this situation was still Uncle Cui. He frowned and asked, "Is that Uncle Cui Han Cui?"
Seeing Liu Ye and Er Yu nodding, he asked, "Who is Cui Han?"
"He is a tyrant in the town. He is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate. He is very powerful in the town. He owns the Wangke Lai restaurant, pawn shop, brothel and casino in the town. I heard that he also has a hand in the ferry."
"Aw, he looks very powerful!"
"That man is not only powerful, but also very lustful!" Shen Tianli frowned and whispered.
Especially when I thought that my wife and sister would be in and out of town soon, I couldn't help but frown even more.
"Okay! Don't worry, no matter he is a local snake or a giant snake, he can't deal with me as a snake catcher."
Everyone saw Shen Tianli and Liu Ye whispering in low voices. Liu Ye had a smile on his face, while Shen Tianli's face was full of gentleness, finally washing away the unpleasantness just now.
Mrs. Shen smiled and patted Mr. He's hand and said, "Your mother-in-law has done a good thing. Look at how good they are."
He smiled and nodded, "Yes, Ye'er is a sensible child, so Li'er will naturally love her more."
After she finished speaking, she saw He Shuiqing and others returning with ugly faces.
He asked: "Brother, sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"It's really disgusting. That He Fugui actually threatened us, saying that if we don't agree to get engaged as soon as possible, our family will not be allowed to participate in the River God Ceremony on February 2nd." He Dayu said angrily.
Worshiping the river god is a custom in this area of Hejia Village, which means that the coming year will have good weather, peace and security, and you can catch more fish.
If you do not worship the River God, you are blaspheming against the River God. You will be rejected by the River God and suffer bad luck.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Liu Ye knew that these people attached great importance to the taboos about ghosts and gods, and it was impossible to impose atheism on them. Moreover, she, a new nephew-in-law, had no right to say so much, so she stayed silent along with everyone.
The first one to break the silence was Old Man He, who said: "Okay, Lan'er is back once in a while, so don't let your interest go away. It's almost noon, everyone, go cook!"
Mrs. Yang nodded and said with a forced smile: "It's been a long time since my brothers and sisters have cooked at Dayu's house. Please rest for a while. I'll take them to do it. It'll be done soon!" After that, he
