After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 196 Zhang Daniu Gets Married

After lunch, Wang Qiuxia came out of Zeng Hua's house, hugged Zhang Chuan who had fallen asleep, and said with a smile: "The family is still lively and festive."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said nothing.

When I got home, I put all the grapes I picked in the morning into wine jars.

Zhang Fu found Jiang Xiaohe and said, "You asked me to find out about Xu Xiaohua before, and I found out."

Jiang Xiaohe wiped her hands and asked, "Where is she now? Is she doing well?"

Zhang Fu shook his head slightly.

"She is indeed in Zhang Xiu'e's mother's home, Xinghua Village! But these days..." Zhang Fu shook his head.

"Didn't they say before that Zhang Xiu'e gave her to her brother's stupid son as a wife?"

"Is not it?"

Zhang Fu nodded slightly: "She did sell her. I found out that she took two taels of silver and sold Xu Xiaohua to a fool in her natal village as a daughter-in-law."

what!

"She can do such a thing!" How old is Xu Xiaohua?

Zhang Fu sighed, "In a village like ours, people can't make ends meet and sell their daughters everywhere, not to mention that she sold a niece who has no blood relationship with her. Besides, it's hard for this idiot to marry. Spend two taels of silver to buy a little baby and raise it. When she grows up, she can also carry on the family line, right?"

Jiang Xiaohe sighed slightly in her heart. In the old times, if you were a woman from a poor family and your family favored boys over girls, you could only be bought and sold like an object. It was really sad.

Previously, she had thought that if Xu Xiaohua lived well, she would send someone to give her the money, but now...

Seeing that Jiang Xiaohe didn't say anything, Zhang Fu went back to his room to rest.

Wang Qiuxia put Zhang Chuan on the bed and came out. Seeing that Jiang Xiaohe looked a little strange, she asked her with concern, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiaohe finally came back to her senses and shook her head slightly.

"Mom, how far is Xinghua Village from here?"

Wang Qiuxia didn't understand why she asked about Xinghua Village, but she still answered: "This place is quite far. It takes a whole day to walk there. Even if we drive a bullock cart and set out early in the morning, we won't arrive until noon."

"Are you going to Xinghua Village to do some work?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded slightly and continued to tell the story.

After listening to this, Wang Qiuxia sighed slightly: "Xu Xiaohua is such a pitiful person!"

"Mom, what I'm thinking is that our family was able to get rich last year because Xiaohua helped me find grapes. Now that we're living a good life, she's still suffering. I always feel bad for her."

Wang Qiuxia clapped her hands and said, "Mother understands that you are a person who knows how to repay kindness. You can handle this matter as you wish. Your father and I support you."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled: "Thank you, mother!"

"What are you talking about!" Wang Qiuxia also smiled.

"But Daniu's wedding is in two days, so there's no need to rush. Wait until Daniu's wedding is over before you do anything. This will also help avoid a quarrel and make things look ugly."

Jiang Xiaohe thought about it and nodded slightly: "Okay, Yi Niang!"

At Zhang Quan's home, Zeng Hua and Jiang Xiaohe were very happy after talking about the matter. Zhang Quan couldn't help but smile when he saw them and said, "I feel relieved now."

Zeng Hua glared at him and said, "Didn't Xiao He ask you to help tidy up the new shop? When the time comes, you should take good care of it and do a good job for them."

Zhang Quan took a puff of his pipe and said, "Do I need you to teach me?"

Zeng Hua snorted, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the town to order a pig. Also, don't go anywhere else this afternoon. We also need to decorate the house, and there is also the matchmaker..."

Zhang Quan got a headache when he heard her say these words: "Okay, I still don't know what's going on?"

Zeng Hua saw that he was a little impatient, so he said nothing more: "It's fine as long as you know the answer."

Zhang Daniu's wedding was being arranged in full swing, and many villagers came to help, jokingly saying, "I think the marriage between your Daniu and the girl from the Tian family is destined by heaven."

But that’s not it!

Zeng Hua was cleaning up the dishes while smiling and saying, "The girl from the Tian family is a kind and righteous person. Our Danniu is so lucky!"

Li Cuihong smiled and said, "Look, the new daughter-in-law hasn't even entered the yard yet, but the mother-in-law is already doting on her."

Zeng Hua took some water from the leaves and threw it at her, saying angrily, "You are so good at teasing me. I'll see what you say when your family gets married."

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Daniu looked at the lively atmosphere in the yard and the red silk hanging in the house. He felt a little dazed and wanted to go out for some fresh air, but was stopped by Zhang Daniu: "Brother, my parents said that you can only stay at home today and can't go anywhere."

After saying that, he pushed Zhang Daniu back into the house and finally closed the door.

Zhang Daniu sighed: Forget it, forget it.

He turned around and went to bed, not knowing whether he was asleep or not.

The next morning, although it was still dark, Zhang's house was bright and the yard was bustling with villagers who came to help. Zeng Hua urged Zhang Daniu to get up quickly, wash and dress, so as not to miss the auspicious time.

Wang Qiuxia also asked Zhang Fu and Wang Hong to move the furniture that had been made earlier in the house early in the morning.

Zeng Hua took one look and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you and brother are so polite. I'm afraid this must have cost you a lot of money."

Wang Qiuxia smiled and said, "That's not true." After that, several people moved the furniture to the new house.

Zhang Daniu had just changed into new clothes.

"Getting married is a happy occasion. Look at our Danniu wearing this wedding dress. He looks much more energetic than before."

Zhang Daniu tried hard to force a smile, and then at Zeng Hua's urging, he drove the ox cart with Wang Hong and several men from the village to pick up the bride.

In order to highlight his importance to his new daughter-in-law, Zeng Hua hired a sedan chair to wait at the entrance of the village. After he brought the bride to the entrance, he would put her in the sedan chair and carry her home.

When the bride's family members saw that the Zhang family attached great importance to their daughter, they nodded slightly to show their satisfaction.

When they got home, they got married, and from then on their lives were truly intertwined.

After the ceremony, Zhang Danniu sent the bride back to the house, and Zeng Hua and Zhang Quan finally felt relieved.

Then comes the welcoming and seeing off. The villagers are not so fussy when it comes to banquets. Those who are well-off will give some copper coins, while those who are not so well-off will just give a handful of vegetables or a bundle of firewood. No one cares about how many gifts they receive, they just want a lively and festive atmosphere.

In the evening, after Zhang Daniu toasted everyone, he was pushed into the bridal chamber by Wang Hong and the others. However, his eyes involuntarily looked at Jiang Xiaohe who was sitting in the corner and feeding Zhang Chuan.

"Brother Daniu, if you are not anxious about the bridal chamber, I am afraid the bride is anxious."

Zhang Daniu finally came back to his senses. Tian Tian'er in the room was listening and her face turned red under her veil.

Finally, everyone pushed Zhang Daniu into the house and closed the door: "Brother Daniu, a night of love is worth a thousand gold!"

After they finished talking, they went back to the yard to drink.
