A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Three days later, Chang Errui found Yuan Laorong and his wife again and expressed his decision not to marry Gu Dafu's family.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yuan Laorong's wife didn't want to delay the girl any longer, so she sent someone to inform Gu Dafu's family and gave him a generous gift.

When Mrs. Chen learned that the Yuan family rejected the marriage between the two families, she was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. She sent the person away with a stiff face. She finally managed to close the shop and go home. As soon as she entered the house, she shouted: "Gu Yumei, you will die for me." Come out, what have you done? Let the Yuan family refuse the marriage!"

Gu Yumei was preparing spices at home. When she heard this, she was surprised, angry, and secretly happy. She no longer had to marry and go to Yanfu Village to farm.

She retorted: "Second aunt, I only met the Yuan family once. You were there at that time. You saw what I did. Whether the marriage happens or not is none of my business. I didn't do anything to make the Yuan family unhappy." matter."

Mrs. Chen didn't know that Wan Lifang sent Gu Yumei's brother and sister to town and was bumped into by Chang Errui. After hearing Gu Yumei's words and thinking about the reception of Yuan Laorong's wife on the day the shop opened, she felt that Gu Yumei had done nothing wrong.

But why can't it happen?

That day, I saw that Yuan Laorong’s wife really liked Sister Mei.

Ms. Chen felt that her family had been tricked by the Yuan family, and she was so angry that she stood in the room and scolded the Yuan family.

Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui heard this when they came back. They felt uncomfortable knowing that the Yuan family rejected the marriage.

Gu Dagui comforted Gu Dafu: "Forget it, brother, if the Yuan family fails, let's just look for it. During this period, there are several families who have come to propose marriage to Sister Mei. If we choose carefully, we will definitely find a good family."

Gu Dafu said: "Those people come here for our workshops and shops, and their thoughts are not pure. Where are the good people?"

Marrying those people would harm Sister Mei.

Gu Dexing reminded: "There is still Wan Xiucai's family. Dad, Wan Xiucai's family is really a good family. Wan Lifang is a good person and knowledgeable. You might as well consider it. If it can be done, Sister Mei's future will not be the same. Too bad."

Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up: "Yes, there is also the Wan family. Although Wan Xiucai is a bit aloof, he is still a scholar. If we marry his family, our family's reputation will also be bright."

Gu Dafu didn't like the Wan family before, but after the Yuan family rejected him, he finally became interested when he heard about the Wan Xiucai family. He thought about it and said, "The Wan family looks good, but marriage matters cannot be decided hastily. , let me think about it first.”

Gu Yumei was very happy when she heard that her father would consider the Wan family. If she could marry into the Wan Xiucai family, she would be the young mistress.

…

When the third grandfather and the third grandmother heard that the Yuan family rejected the marriage between the two families, they were very sorry: "The Yuan family is so good, but it didn't happen."

"Why are the Yuan family unhappy? Is it because they dislike us for running away from home? Or have we heard some gossip?"

Anything can happen on the way to escape famine. Many families are not willing to marry a girl who has escaped from famine, for fear that the girl's body will be broken on the way.

The third grandma has always been worried about this. When she heard that the Yuan family rejected the marriage, she couldn't help but ask.

Third Grandpa sat next to Brother Cheng and watched him writing on the sand. Hearing this, he sighed: "Who knows why, but no matter what it is, it can't be because of a few gossips. Yuan Lizhang is not that kind of person." People who listen to the wind are like rain. If they can bring their daughter-in-law to the store on the opening day, they just think that the girl is fine. If they really dislike it, they will not let their daughter-in-law come that day at all."

The third grandma sighed after hearing this.

Gu Jinli was tinkering with her mosquito coils in the yard. When she heard this, she comforted them: "Grandpa and grandma, you don't have to worry. Recently, many people have come to the rich uncle's house to propose marriage. Gu Yumei has no shortage of people to marry. Wan Xiucai's family is not here. After two visits, I see that Gu Yumei really likes Wan Jia, maybe she can still be a scholar in the future."

Gu Yumei is big-hearted and likes to marry scholars. She then dreams that the person she marries will pass all exams. She will be a scholar this year, a scholar next year, and a top scholar in high school the year after that. She wishes she could not get married to the Yuan family so that she can marry into Wan Xiucai's family.

The third grandma said: "It's easy to become a scholar. Besides, Sister Mei doesn't know much about literacy. She's a peasant girl. She married into a scholar's family and can't even talk to them. Her life will not be easy."

Gu Jinli didn't reply. He felt that whether his life was good or bad was all Gu Yumei's fault and had nothing to do with her.

She continued to stir the fragrant mud in the pottery plate, and after the mixing was completed, she brought a dozen grinding tools.

The grinding tool was made for her by Gu Dashan. It was very simple, just carving out small grooves about the size of soybeans and half an arm's length in a piece of wood.

She poured the mixed fragrant mud into the small grooves. After filling the small grooves one by one, she put them in the yard to dry.

The third grandma saw it and asked, "Can this mud of yours really be lit as incense after it is dried in the sun?"

After the busy farm work, Xiaoyu said he wanted to make mosquito coils. He has been tinkering with this thing for the past half month. He went to Xuanhufang and bought a lot of medicinal materials. He also found some old tree bark and ground the old bark and medicinal materials into powder. Mix together.

Fortunately, those medicinal materials were cheap, otherwise Xiaoyu would mix the medicinal materials with the old tree bark, which would have made her heartbroken.

Gu Jinli said: "Yes, after two days, our family will be able to use mosquito coils. We will no longer need to be bitten by mosquitoes, and we will no longer shed tears from being smoked by mugwort."

There is no mosquito-repellent incense in Dachu, so every summer, everyone can only use mugwort to smoke the house. But the smoke of mugwort is so strong that even people sitting at the door will be severely fumigated by the mugwort in the house.

And too much smoke is not good for the lungs.

There is no mugwort in the mosquito-repellent incense she makes, but only three kinds of herbs that kill mosquitoes and repel insects: white stem chrysanthemum, white aphid grass, and red-backed vine. The mosquito-repellent incense she makes has little smoke and is very effective in killing mosquitoes.

"Old lady, I'll just wait. If the mosquito coils you make can't kill mosquitoes, don't make them next time. It's a waste of money." The third grandma was a little afraid of Gu Jinli's way of spending money. This girl probably suffered a lot when she was fleeing the famine. It's too much. After you settle down, as long as you have money, you can work hard without stopping.

After Gu Jinli finished drying the mosquito repellent incense on the grinding tool, he continued to put the fragrant mud in the pottery pot into the groove of the grinding tool. When he heard this, he smiled and said: "Third Grandma, how about we make a bet, if I make it Mosquito-repellent incense can kill mosquitoes, please always give me a tael of silver."

"One tael of silver, you girl is really obsessed with money. Well, it's just one tael of silver. The old lady is also a rich person now, so she can afford to lose with one tael of silver." The third grandma agreed readily, anyway Even if she lost the money, it was all for Gu Jinli, and she didn't feel bad.

Gu Jinli: "Then we have agreed that if the third grandma loses, she will not default on her debt."

Brother Cheng said hurriedly: "Second sister, second sister, I will testify for you. If you win, I will help you ask the third grandma for money."

The third grandma glared at him: "You little heartless one, the third grandma's love for you is in vain, so she will help your second sister."

Cheng Geer chuckled, knowing that the third mistress loved him, so he was not afraid.
