Chapter 157 Patriarchal
"Whatever you push, if you push any more, you won't be able to marry your brother and daughter-in-law!"
After saying this, Tang Ming covered his mouth all of a sudden, and immediately put on a flattering expression, looking at his sister.
"Xiaodi, you also know what's going on in our family. It's hard for me to find you a partner in the city. You have to take good care of it. Don't be like your brother. At my age, I haven't found you yet." Daughter-in-law, there is a good one in front of us now, you just listen to my brother and go and see, whether you like it or not is a matter for the future."
Tang Ming was a smooth-talking man who didn't like hard work, so in terms of lip service, few people could compare to him.
As for her younger sister, Tang Xiaodi never doubted her elder brother, but this time, she felt that what Luo Xiaohua said was right, and it was definitely not a good thing.
However, I was taught by my mother since I was a child that everything in the family should be based on my brother, so it is really impossible for him to refute him, so after hesitating, I have to put my brother first, so let him She went to refute that he really couldn't do it, so she nodded towards him after hesitating.
"Okay, but if you don't value it, brother, don't sell your sister just because of the bride price?" It's strange to say that the first three sisters also got a hundred yuan as a bride price when they got married. Not much, especially the money was not brought back to her husband's house with her sister.
However, the family just doesn't have any money now, and they can't even get the bride price for the elder brother to marry his wife.
"Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry about this, your eldest brother, am I that kind of person? It's fine if you don't like it, I won't force you."
What Tang Xiaodi didn't expect was that her elder brother was talking about me, not us, so if her elder brother didn't force her, it didn't mean her parents wouldn't force her.
Full of apprehension, she followed her elder brother home, even under the hot sun above her head, but she still felt a little chilly, it was the fear emanating from her bones.
From a long distance away, I saw the thatched house at home, and immediately felt a sense of sadness in my heart.
Grandparents favor sons over daughters, and parents favor sons over daughters. After the eldest brother, they gave birth to four sisters one after another. Each name has the word "di" behind it. As a result, they still haven't expected a son.
When I was young, the four sisters did all the heavy and tiring work at home. My mother said that the eldest brother wants to study, but he will go to university and work in an agency in the future, so he doesn't have to work.
The four sisters are all about the same age. Girls are definitely not as strong as boys. In addition, the meat, fish, and eggs occasionally laid by the hen are all eaten by the eldest brother. What can't be eaten is eaten by parents, and then they are divided among the four sisters.
Say yes, how much is it?
Not to mention eating meat, whether you can eat enough is still a problem. The four sisters carry a bucket of water, and the clothes are also carried to the river to wash. Summer is okay, the water drops quickly, and it will be much lighter in the sun. , and in winter, the four sisters have to run a few times to get all the clothes, because the clothes are washed only once a long time.
In the past, she thought that she was a girl, that she was a loser in her mother's mouth. However, as she got older, she realized that girls are not necessarily inferior to boys. Most of their junior high school teachers are female teachers!
What's more, my good sister Luo Xiaohua is also a girl, but at home, her mother didn't say that she was a loser.
This time, she promised Luo Xiaohua to go to work in the city because she hoped that she could make money and not have to depend on her husband's family or her mother's family in the future, although she never thought about what her parents would give her. However, this person has feelings, and she also hopes that they can change their old ideas.
"Damn girl, why don't you go into the house when you come back, you can't stand there like a Bodhisattva, you run around every day, and you don't come back to the house..."
Life is like this, when you are full of hope, a scoop of cold water will wake you up again.
When I originally hoped that my mother would think "men and women are equal" because of the new village policy, this "dead girl" beat her back to her original place.
Tang Xiaodi has become accustomed to her mother's words, and stepped forward to take the basin in her hand.
"I'm going to feed the chicken!"
"Hey what, you go into the house quickly, everyone is like a living fairy, and I have to come to make offerings..."
Tang Xiaodi moved her mouth, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, then went straight around the house and walked to the chicken coop behind.
There were only five chickens here and there, just like what her mother said, feeding them two chickens is better than feeding them, and they can get some food back all year round. Feeding them not only costs money, but also can't pay back.
It seemed to be true, so Tang Xiaodi didn't know how to refute.
"You are the kid. Why come here to feed the chickens instead of entering the house when you come back?"
Looking at her impatient appearance, others thought they loved her so much, but it turned out not to be the case.
This person is her second aunt, who is more patriarchal than her mother. There is only one daughter in the family, and she wears all her clothes from her brother's clothes. And because she is a daughter, she works hard at home alone when her brothers go out to play marbles.
"Second Aunt, don't I see that my mother is busy, I just want to help, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Tang Xiaodi pretended to have an expression of ignorance. Anyway, whether she knew it or not was an ending, so it was better to pretend that she didn't know it and use it to paralyze herself.
"Can you say it's not in a hurry? Your third aunt introduced you to a man from the city. Someone came here today with a gift. Now he's sitting in the yard talking to your father and the others. You, the real master, won't go. Isn't it a bit outrageous?"
"Third Aunt? Introduced to me? That's not wrong, isn't there two unmarried in her family? If there are good ones, don't worry about them. What do you introduce to me?"
"Look, look, what nonsense are you talking about, that Dongmei and Hongmei are younger than you, and that man is in his early thirties, how could it be... Look at my mouth, I'm not explain……"
The second aunt of the Tang family closed her mouth under Tang Xiaodi's serious eyes.
"Don't talk, don't talk, this fate is destined, you go and have a look, see if you like it?"
"Since this is the case, then I'll take a look. If you don't like it, don't blame me for not giving face. Second Aunt, you are right. Why is Third Aunt so ignorant? Since ancient times, the woman went to the man's house to see, why did she take me home?" Here we come, are my parents planning to take in a son-in-law to support them in the old age?"
Tang Xiaodi said the following words very loudly, her voice had already spread into the yard, what she wanted was for them to hear, why should her life be at the mercy of others?
