Chapter 97 Marriage on February 8th
Qi Jincai's tone was firm, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.
Qi Bo was so angry that he stomped his feet: "You unfilial son, I'm not even dead yet, and you already want to divide the family property! You're trying to drive me crazy!"
"Qi Heshan, you old bastard, you've done so many things behind my back!"
I was wondering why you suddenly said you wanted to take Xiaoxi to town to buy things that day. Turns out you were taking Xiaoxi to the clinic to find out the baby's gender.
At that time, Xiaoxi was three months pregnant, and it took her an hour to walk from home to town and back.
Xiaoxi had an abortion and should have been recuperating properly after childbirth. But you made her keep it a secret, and those days she was still washing clothes and cooking with cold water..."
Aunt Xie became increasingly angry as she spoke, and even picked up a lump of mud from the ground and threw it at Uncle Qi.
"If Jincai and Xiaoxi want to separate from the family, I'll go with them. You can live alone!"
Qi Bo: "..."
He felt as if a stone was lodged in his heart, and his son and daughter-in-law both scolded him!
After scolding, Aunt Xie walked towards the infant spirit, squatted down, and carefully examined its appearance.
Although the baby spirit is a ghost, Aunt Xie is not afraid at all. How could she be afraid of her own granddaughter?
"My dear granddaughter, let Grandma take a good look at you."
"It's all Grandma's fault for not noticing your mother was pregnant; that old man got you pregnant."
Although Aunt Xie couldn't touch the infant spirit at all, she still reached out and gently stroked the outline of the infant spirit's soul.
"Hello grandma."
The infant spirit called out softly.
Before leaving, she could feel the love from her parents and grandmother, and she felt very content.
After hearing Qi Jincai's words, the other villagers were all shocked and their mouths were agape. How could Uncle Qi do such a heartless thing?
Forcing his daughter-in-law to abort his granddaughter?
The village chief advised, "Old Qi, sons and daughters are the same. Daughters can hold up half the sky just the same."
Look at Taohua, Ershu and Qianshi only had one daughter, Taohua has done so much for our village.
Not only did they make their own family rich, but the whole village also became prosperous, and every household built a house with blue bricks and tiles.
In other villages, how many households could afford to build a house with blue bricks and tiles?
Those were things that only the wealthiest families in the village could afford to build, but our village accomplished them all in just a few months.
Look at Ershu and his wife now in the village, how straight they stand! Who doesn't envy them for having such an amazing daughter?
"Just relax. Your granddaughter will bring honor to the family and be filial to you. Now, because you want a grandson, your son and daughter-in-law are estranged from you. Is this really the outcome you want?"
Qi Bo listened to his words, seemingly lost in thought.
Before leaving, the village chief said one more thing: "Think it over carefully, and stop being so stubborn."
"Goodbye, Grandma, Mother, Father, I have to go now."
The voice of the infant spirit rang out.
The sunlight shone on her, and her soul immediately became much weaker than before.
"Peach Blossom Sister, what's wrong with Sanni? She looks like she might disappear at any moment."
"I asked Zou Xiaoxi."
In truth, she was even more afraid that Sanni would be annihilated!
Zhao Taohua glanced at the little infant spirit and said, "She doesn't have time anymore. Because of the hail and the sharp drop in temperature, her soul could move freely in the mortal world. In fact, it made her soul cultivation stronger so that she could control your consciousness, Sister-in-law Xiaoxi."
However, now that the hail has stopped and the temperature is rising, what was once a help to her has now become a harm. If she stays on Earth any longer, her soul will be scattered!
"Peach Blossom Sister, please help me send Sanni to the underworld so that she can be reborn into a good family and live a good life."
Zou Xiaoxi felt guilty towards the infant spirit.
Zhao Taohua nodded. Fortunately, the grass blanket provided some cover, allowing only a few rays of sunlight to penetrate, so they didn't cause much harm to the infant spirit.
Because the sun was too strong outside, it was not advisable for the infant spirit to go out. Therefore, Zhao Taohua directly opened a path to the underworld for the infant spirit inside the thatched shed.
When the infant spirit completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the village chief walked to Zhao Taohua's side and asked:
"Peach Blossom, is this hailstorm and temperature drop over yet?"
Seeing Zhao Taohua nod, everyone cheered, and they were about to go back to their respective medicinal herb fields to take down the straw mats from the straw sheds.
Grandma Sun hurriedly called out to the crowd, "Fellow villagers, my dear grandson is getting married at eighteen. Everyone, please come to our house for the wedding feast!"
I'm just saying this here, so I won't go door-to-door to invite them.
Time is of the essence; Xiaofeng's wedding is a big event, and my family still has many things to arrange.
Everyone was stunned. Eighteen?
Aunt Jiang asked, "What month is the eighteenth?"
Her family is also having a wedding soon, on the tenth day of the fourth lunar month. There's only a little over a month left, and there's still a lot to arrange!
"February 18th!" Grandma Sun said with a smile.
what?
Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.
Jiang found it unbelievable: "There are only three days left, is it enough time?"
She feels like there's not enough time in the world for her son Xiangxiang to get married in just over a month.
Madam Zheng asked, "Isn't this a bit too hasty? Should we wait another month?"
Grandma Sun shook her head repeatedly: "No rush, my dear grandson is already seventeen, and besides, I've calculated for them that February 18th is an auspicious day."
"If they get married on this day, they will surely live a harmonious and happy life, and their future will be prosperous and thriving."
Seeing this, everyone stopped trying to persuade them.
However, everyone still had one question: "Aunt Sun, whose daughter is Xiao Feng's wife?"
In fact, everyone already had some guesses in their hearts. It was said that Zhao Feng had once been infatuated with Zhang Caixia, the village beauty of Black Bull Village, and was even willing to spend fifteen taels of betrothal money to marry her.
Originally, both families had reached an agreement, but later, for some unknown reason, the Zhao family's old residence canceled the marriage proposal.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Grandma Sun smiled and said, "It's Jiang Cuier, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in Black Bull Village. She's a polite and virtuous young lady!"
Upon hearing that her name was Jiang Cuier, everyone offered their congratulations and said they would definitely attend her wedding banquet.
Despite the hail and sharp drop in temperature over the past two weeks, the herbs were almost completely protected from freezing thanks to the straw shed.
Next, everyone can pick perilla leaves to sell for money.
Then, after a few more days, around March or April, the entire motherwort plant can be harvested and sold for money.
Grandma Sun borrowed an oxcart from Zhao Taohua to go to town to buy things. There were only three days left, so she had to hurry.
Inside Heiniu Village.
After working for half a month, the Jiang family finally got everything ready for the wedding and were just waiting for Zhao Feng to come and pick up the bride on the eighteenth.
The entire Jiang family was filled with a festive atmosphere, but also with a sense of reluctance.
Jiang Ju'er hugged Jiang Cui'er and said, "Sister, I can't bear to part with you. Don't go. If you leave, I'll be all alone at home."
Madam Yu gently tapped her head: "What kind of talk is it if your sister doesn't get married?"
When you come of age, it will be time for you to get married.
Mrs. Yu looked at her two beloved daughters.
When they were born, they were no bigger than two hands. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and they have grown into young women.
Zhao Family Village was a wealthy village. Although the Zhao family had previously offered fifteen taels of silver to marry Zhang Caixia, a girl from the same village, the two families ultimately did not agree to the marriage.
The Zhao family was willing to give her family five taels of betrothal gifts, and in addition, they gave her three taels of extra money for wedding arrangements. She saw their sincerity and thought the Zhao family was a good in-law family.
The atmosphere at the Zhang family's home was completely different from that at the Jiang family's home.
Zhang Caixia kept smashing things at home: "I told you that Brother Feng would come to marry me on the 28th, why don't you believe me?"
Why won't you prepare things for my wedding?
It's already the 15th, only 13 days left, it's almost too late!
Zhang Caixia was extremely anxious and was on the verge of a breakdown.
