Chapter 1119 Stepfather 30
Cao's father, Cao's mother and Cao Hui lived in the east room, Cao Hui lived in the outer room, and Cao's father and Cao's mother slept in the inner room.
The west room is where the eldest and second brothers Cao sleep. The second brother's family lives in the outer room, and the eldest brother's family lives in the inner room. The adults and children are crowded on the same kang, making it inconvenient for the adults to do things.
The Cao family's house was crowded, and the reason why Cao's mother wanted Yuanchun to marry Cao Hui was because she had her eyes on the three houses of the Xu family.
Thinking that after the two of them got married, the three houses of the Xu family would become those of the Cao family, and when the three brothers of the Cao family split up, it would be just right for the second and third brothers to move to the Xu family.
But Yuanchun's refusal broke Cao's mother's plan.
Cao's mother went home with a dark face. As soon as she entered the house, the Cao family surrounded her. Mrs. Cao asked, "Mom, when will Xu Yuanchun agree to marry me?"
Cao Ersao said, "Mom, Xu Yuanchun and my brother-in-law have had physical contact, so they are husband and wife. The family is not allowed to give her any more betrothal money."
Mrs. Cao, "She is an orphan. We agreed to let her into our family. She should be grateful to us. If she dares to ask for a betrothal gift, then she will never be able to step into our house again."
The second brother Cao said, "Mom, Xu Yuanchun is marrying Huizi, and the Xu family's house is empty. My wife and I should move in with the Xu family. Otherwise, the house will be empty and no one will live there, and it will collapse easily."
Mrs. Cao nodded vigorously, "Mom, I have three children, and the kang is too small. Junzi can't even turn over when he sleeps at night."
Mrs. Cao said, "Xiaodong and Xiaonan are grown up now. It's not convenient for them to share the same kang with Minzi and me. When you move out, let Xiaodong and Xiaonan sleep on your kang."
Mrs. Cao: "Okay, I'll listen to my parents."
Before Yuanchun got married, the Cao family had already divided up the Xu family's house.
Mother Cao glared at her two sons and daughters-in-law and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Xu Yuanchun doesn't agree to marry Huizi and says she wants to recruit a live-in son-in-law."
"Mom, does she really want to marry a live-in son-in-law?" Brother Cao asked anxiously.
Cao's mother hummed, "She told me in person that her relationship with Huizi might not work out."
"Her innocence was ruined by her brother-in-law. If she doesn't marry him, who will want her, except those old bachelors who can't find wives."
"Mom, please think of a way. Xu Yuanchun must marry Huizi, otherwise the three big houses of the Xu family will have nothing to do with our Cao family."
"Since they have already had physical contact, why not let them make it a done deal? Once Xu Yuanchun gives her body to her brother-in-law, she will have to marry him even if she doesn't want to."
"I'll get the medicine."
"Don't do anything stupid." Cao's father, who had been smoking a cigarette silently, scolded, "If the girl from the Xu family doesn't want to, don't force her. Xiaodong and the others are grown up now. Let's take advantage of the slack season to get some more adobe bricks and build two rooms for the children to live in."
"Dad, the yard is so small. If we build a house, there will be no place to grow vegetables. What will we use to pickle sauerkraut every year?"
"Then go grow some cabbage in your own plot. You can't die from holding your urine."
The head of the Cao family has spoken, and the Cao family members dare not disobey, but the little calculations in their hearts have never been extinguished.
The Cao family believed that Yuanchun's refusal to get married was a sign of ignorance and rudeness, so the eldest and second Cao's wives said a lot of bad things about Yuanchun in the village.
When we meet, we will also make some sarcastic remarks.
At the beginning, Yuanchun maintained her original character, pretending to be timid and cowardly. She didn't dare to confront the Cao family and just stayed away from them.
But Cao Ersao became even worse, calling her a slut to her face, calling her a jinx and a nemesis, and saying that she had brought disaster to her parents and her stepfather.
Yuanchun kept crying after being scolded, and cried all the way to find the team leader.
