You must know that the old bachelor who can't say that he is a daughter-in-law in these years is nothing more than a poor situation!
But any man who can collect two more loads of grain in his family will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, even if he can't marry him, he can buy it!
And the old bachelor just has no money, not only is there no woman from a good family willing to marry, but he doesn't even have the money to buy a daughter-in-law.So the old bachelors have finally saved up some silver, and they must want to buy a woman who can take home and give birth to a baby.A thin yellow-haired girl like Chen Yuanyuan can't give birth at first glance, so marry her home as an ornament?
In short, Chen Yuanyuan's uncle and aunt disliked her to death, but they had to sell her for silver and come back.In fact, Chen Yuanyuan's uncle's business went wrong, and suddenly, an extremely cheap cloth appeared on the streets.These fabrics are stronger and more durable than Matsue's cotton, and the dyed colors are also very pretty, and the key is that they are very cheap.As soon as it was launched, it destroyed the textile industry in Jiangnan, and many machine owners went bankrupt.Although Chen Yuanyuan's uncle was not in the cotton cloth business, because this kind of cloth was so good and cheap, even their silk industry was affected.Although the merchants in the old cotton cloth industry are basically bankrupt, the merchants who make silk are not having a good time, and the quality and color of silk today cannot be sold.Chen Yuanyuan's uncle was not a big silk merchant, he was just a small businessman who followed the big boss to eat.The small businessman's ability to resist risks is very poor, and the quality of his uncle's goods this time is not good.Looking at the silk piled up in the warehouse, he was sad, these good silks were backlogged because they were not as good as the new cloths.Now the only way is to reduce the price, and the result of the price reduction means a loss.But if the price is not reduced, it means that it will be completely eliminated, and then when the new silk becomes the old silk, it will be directly lost.Chen Yuanyuan's aunt and uncle made a decision, first firing Wu's mother, and then looking for buyers everywhere, preparing to sell Chen Yuanyuan and Taozhifa.The maid Taozhi is a beautiful embryo, and it doesn't matter whether she sells it to a Goolan brothel, or sells it to a rich family as a concubine or something, it's very easy to sell.A few families are even willing to pay 50 taels of silver to buy this peach branch, which can be regarded as a high price.It's Chen Yuanyuan, a girl, who is so uneasy, that there are several tooth wives in a row, but they are only willing to give out five taels of silver, and they refuse to come out if they have more.Chen Yuanyuan's uncle and aunt were unwilling to sell her for five taels of silver, so they never negotiated.In the end, the peach branch was bought by the old bustard of a high-class brothel at a high price of fifty-eight taels of silver, and Chen Yuanyuan was still waiting for the buyer.Chen Yuanyuan's uncle and aunt have already decided, after a while, if this Chen Yuanyuan still can't sell for a price, then sell her to the lowest kiln outside the city.But Chen Yuanyuan didn't know the fate of her about to be betrayed, and she still went out early and returned late every day.And when the north is still full of snow, spring in the south of the Yangtze River has come early.Chen Yuanyuan was finally able to stretch her body and walk, she was frozen and cowering all the winter before, looking like a dumb melon.The bright moon is still hanging in the sky, but the golden rooster has already announced, this is a simple utility room, which is full of all kinds of dilapidated household goods.In the innermost part of the utility room, there was an old bed, which was very old and had long since become old.There was no cotton wool on the bed, but a thick cushion of straw, on which lay a little person, curled up in a ball, covered with only a tattered garment, pitiful.This little person is naturally Chen Yuanyuan, and now that the chicken has crowed twice, it is time for her to get up and wash rice and cook.The Chen family's breakfast was early, so Chen Yuanyuan had to get up before dawn to cook the food, and if she was a little late, she would be beaten and scolded by her uncle and aunt.In the past, these kitchen jobs were all done by Wu's mother, but when the Chen family ran out of money, they fired Wu's mother.So these heavy jobs have to be done by Chen Yuanyuan alone, Chen Yuanyuan is not tall enough, and he can't reach the stove, so build a stool!
The rooster crowed for the third time, and it was too late to get up, and the little girl on the bed struggled a little, and finally got up.Outside, the sky was still dark, and everything was silent, except for the sound of the rooster crowing, echoing in the lonely night sky.Chen Yuanyuan touched the fire fold with sleepy eyes, blew it quickly, and then she lit the tung oil lamp with the fire fold.The light emitted by the tung oil lamp is very weak, so it can only shine a few steps away, and it can't shine at a distance.Chen Yuanyuan touched the wide clothes and pants, and was just about to put them on, when she suddenly found that her hands were sticky and looked down.But seeing the blood on his hands, even the straw that had just been lying was dripping with blood.Chen Yuanyuan's menstrual affair is coming.However, poor Chen Yuanyuan looked at the blood on her hands and on the bed at a loss, she didn't know what was going on?
Chen Yuanyuan's mother went early, her father couldn't tell her this, and her aunt was even more lazy to pay attention to her.So Chen Yuanyuan, who has grown so big, doesn't know what the menstrual affair is at all, and she doesn't know what to do after the woman comes to the menstrual period?
After being dazed for a while, Chen Yuanyuan didn't feel any pain in her body, so she got dressed and prepared to get up to work.Chopping firewood to make a fire, washing rice and stuffing rice, choosing vegetables and copying vegetables, Chen Yuanyuan is very skillful.These rice and vegetables were all sent by the shrewd aunt the night before, according to the ration, to prevent Chen Yuanyuan from eating and stealing.Soon the aroma of food came from the kitchen, and at this time the sky was already bright, Chen Yuanyuan first put away the eggshells and washed them with water.Chen Yuanyuan's aunt loves to show off, and after her family eats eggs, the eggshells are not discarded, but strung and hung on the wall outside the kitchen.If someone comes to visit like this, if you see these eggshells, you will inevitably praise this family for being so rich!
After Chen Yuanyuan hung up the eggshells, she then brought the food to her aunt's room and waited for them to finish eating.The two men ate all the meat, eggs, and rice, and left a little sweet potato and vegetable soup.Chen Yuanyuan lowered his head and put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then ate the leftover soup and sweet potatoes from his uncle and aunt.She eats a lot, and now Chen Yuanyuan is in the critical period of growing her body, so she eats a lot of food.It was too uncomfortable not to eat enough every day, so Chen Yuanyuan even chewed the sweet potato skin cleanly, and there was no waste at all.After eating sweet potatoes and vegetable soup, Chen Yuanyuan had to wash the clothes of a large family again.Now in this season, it is half cold and not warm, and the clothes are still very thick, but Chen Yuanyuan's aunt loves to be clean.
