Maw lowered her head and cut the vegetables in the field. This area was extremely quiet, with only the sound of crickets ringing out. It made her feel even more annoyed, as if this cricket was also talking about her. She threw out the knife in her hand, and the cricket continued to cry. However, she sat there and cried, silently and sadly, but no one cared. She didn't want anyone to care, so she decided to just cry like this.

He had thought that he would be led to another village, where he would be a daughter-in-law, dressed in a red wedding dress, with a bright red veil over his head, and a palanquin carried by two men. He was born with a fat and white child, and lived his life wholeheartedly.

However, all of these things couldn't be realized now. Everything was in vain. He was about to get married, but he was actually marrying someone who was sick to death.

If he didn't want to, the girl would agree to go and get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

As long as she gets married, not only would she be able to get a lot of money, she would also be able to get a sister-in-law for Brother Ah. But this sister-in-law of hers, if she were to spend her entire life in exchange, how could she be willing?

A basket of wild vegetables, filled with sincerity, was pressed down hard a few times until it was unable to hold it in anymore, and then was prepared to go home. From a distance, he saw the little sisters who used to cut wild vegetables together emerge from the field in front of them. He slowed down his steps and tried to avoid it.

However, he still couldn't avoid it. A Girl turned his head and saw her. Ah Man, why are you walking behind me?

Three or four Girl s mixed together into a group. They were all people around the same age in the village, and would usually work in the same place. Now, Ah Mi didn't like to meet them.

I did. Mang also wanted to dodge, but she couldn't. She still greeted him. No matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to respond. Listening to his greeting, he walked over.

A few of the Girl s secretly sized him up, wanting to see the change in him. But he could not see anything. Mai didn't say much to begin with, and now she was like a gourd with a mouth. She came over, but she just walked forward without saying anything.

He didn't know what to say, but he felt extremely uncomfortable inside. The matter of changing marriage wasn't something to be proud of.

Similarly, it was a joyous occasion. Only those who were especially poor would go back to change their marriage. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to marry their wives.

The family Ah Mi wanted to change the engagement was from Tofu Niangzi's family in the mountain area. Tofu Niangzi's family name was Mei, and the man had passed away early. There were only two children left, one son and one girl. The girl was not bad looking, and was a famous beauty in the Wu Li Eight Village. His son was studying in the academy and was originally a strong student. He wholeheartedly wanted to pass the country test and become an Elementary Scholar, but he fell ill before the exam and not only did he delay his reputation, he had also not recovered from it until now. When he heard that he fell seriously ill two days ago, he became anxious and was able to come up with such an idea.

It was easy to say it was difficult, but not only was it difficult, there was also a good reason why a young lady would please her son. A widow would sell tofu for two coins to feed her children, and with the addition of the money, the Mei Family brat had been taking medicine for her all these years.

Tofu Niangzi was also so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles. Then, for some reason, he set his eyes on the Song Family. The Song Family's conditions were not much better than the Mei Family's, even though their labour was stronger than the Mei Family's. However, a crippled wife and two sons also had to get married in the future. Everywhere was for money. The Song Family didn't have much to show for it, just that the three adobe rooms were decent.

Tofu Niangzi was a straightforward person. With a plan in his heart, there was no one who would say something that was impossible to erase. When he was selling tofu, he walked over to the Tian Jia Wan and had a conversation with Song Youfu.

When it came to this matter, Song Youfu did not agree to it in the beginning. The people of Tofu Niangzi were sharp and talkative, the pros and cons of the change in marriage were laid out clearly, she could already point out a flower without even using a matchmaker. Song Youfu was an honest person, so she was naturally not able to explain it to him as easily as she did.

In the end, Song Youfu knocked on the dry tobacco pouch and poured out the ashes from the cigarette, saying two words. "Let's switch."

Even if this matter was settled, the two families had already agreed on finding the matchmaker. After connecting the two parties, this matter would be settled.

The Tofu Niangzi was always selling tofu outside of home. When widows lost their jobs, their personalities were naturally not soft. All these years, he had already gotten used to selling tofu and visiting families. He would bring up this sort of thing himself without disturbing the matchmaker first, not mentioning spending money to owe them a favor. In the event that this failed, it would even harm their friendship.

The truth had proven that the Tofu Niangzi was right. If he really went to find a matchmaker, Song Youfu would never be able to wipe that face away.

Promise to exchange your daughter for a new marriage in front of others. He would never agree to something like this even if he was beaten to death.

At the end of the day, he couldn't get rid of his face. Even if he was facing the sky for the rest of his life, the peasants still wanted that face.

When they were at the entrance of the village, Ah Mi greeted a few people and was about to leave. Ah Yun, who had a good relationship with her usually, walked over and stopped her.

After hesitating for a while, Ah Yun said softly, "Ah Mang, I heard that two days ago, the young lady from Mei Family had caused a ruckus and wanted to make this marriage a mess."

Ah Yun was also engaged, and coincidentally her wife's house was in Meihua Village. Yesterday, her fiance came to work for her, and knew that her relationship with the Song Family's Girl was close, so he told her about it.

Mai looked at her in a daze, and only let out an "oh" after a long time.

Her reaction was too calm, causing Ah Yun to panic: "That's all?"

"What else?" Ah Mang lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's useless. The words of the matchmaker were from her parents. How could she go back on her word? Besides, if she's making a ruckus like this, there's already a letter from the other side."

"That's true." Ah Yun sighed along with her, and said with a flushed face: "Ah Mang, don't worry about that, my wife is also from Meihua Village, I will take care of you when I get married in the future."

When these words came out, it was because the sixteen year old Girl had used up all his courage. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mang became anxious again. Her round, smooth, and small face did not seem like she was in a good mood. Mang, don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to show off anymore. I am, I am, I am. " The more anxious he was, the more he couldn't say anything. What was she? He couldn't say those words himself, but in the end, he still couldn't help but worry for her.

"I just feel sorry for you."

"These words are much easier to say now." We grew up together, we used to be together, we were good sisters. I don't have any other thoughts. "

The food basket was placed on the ground, with two hands holding Ah Mang's arm, eager to explain. Girl was so anxious that she was about to cry, just in case the little sister misunderstood him.
