Chapter 409: Most Unfaithful People Are Scholars (Era) 3
The village chief thought that this girl was really heartless. How could she react like this after her parents died?!
He scolded in a cold tone: "You don't have money, can't you borrow it? Don't you have an engagement with that college student from the Li family?! The Li family will take the lion's share, and we will all make up the difference for you! Just let the Li family pay it back later!"
Wu Yuezhao glanced at the village chief and said, "If you keep talking like this, I don't know whether the Li family will return it or not, but I will never marry!"
"In this day and age, are there still people selling themselves to bury their fathers?! What's the matter?! Is it that the five-star red flag didn't shine on you, or that the people's liberation didn't notify you?! Talk to me about this feudal dregs!"
The village chief was so angry that he said, "What are you talking about? How can being filial to your parents be feudal?!"
"I'm not being disrespectful. I treated them well when they were alive. Now they're dead and I have no money. What else can I do? Sell myself?!"
"If you dare to say you are willing, I will definitely send you to ask those revolutionary predecessors why the new world they fought for with their lives is so bloody!"
Wu Yuezhao crossed his arms and looked at the village chief, which made the old man so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Just as he was about to scold him, he suddenly saw the Li family couple rushing over, pointing at them and shouting: "Hurry up and control this daughter-in-law! It's simply lawless!"
As the village chief was angry, Wu Yuezhao turned around and looked at the Li couple.
The two old men were not good people. They knew that their son had a lover outside. It was just that they felt that their son had flown far away, but they still needed someone to serve them. So they discussed with Li Xiaoyong to hold a wedding for Wang Guifen so that she could stay at home and serve them honestly.
They also promised that as long as Li Xiaoyong was willing to hold a wedding, everything else would be easy and they would never bother him again.
It was a fake wedding. All three of them benefited, except for poor Wang Guifen who knew nothing.
So, these two bastards will also get their retribution!
Wu Yuezhao looked at the Li couple and smiled coldly: "You came just in time. My parents are dead. Bring me the engagement token and we'll break off the engagement!"
The villagers standing by were all stunned.
There have been such situations in the past, where one of the engaged parties fell into poverty and the other wanted to cancel the engagement, but generally it was the poorer party who got canceled. This is the first time I have seen someone who, after his family was broken up, did not think about looking for help, but wanted to cancel the engagement right away!
The Li couple did not expect that they did not want to cancel the engagement.
After all, their son’s girlfriend is unlikely to come back to serve them, so they need a free nanny.
But as soon as the thought of rejection came to their mind, they felt a sharp pain in their heads, and then their bodies were taken over by another consciousness, so they clearly felt that words that did not belong to their thoughts came out of their mouths: "This is really a blessing from heaven! Your family has been destroyed, and you are not afraid that we will not accept it, but you actually took the initiative to cancel the engagement?! Okay, okay! Quickly cancel! My son is so outstanding, don't regret it in the end!"
As he said this, 'Old Man Li' reached into his pocket and took out the silver bracelet that he had kept at home. In front of the village chief, he threw the silver bracelet at Wu Yuezhao: "Remove it immediately! Everyone in the village is here to be a witness! From now on, we will go our separate ways. If no one wants you in the future, don't come knocking on my door!"
The village chief opened his mouth and wanted to dissuade them, but to be honest, in their eyes, "Wang Guifen" was really a traitor. If he tried to dissuade them, he would be ruining the Li family.
The village chief expressed his support for Old Li's behavior and took the lead in being willing to bear witness.
Therefore, the marriage went very smoothly.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Wu Yuezhao threw the silver bracelet he had just obtained to the village chief: "Now that we have money, we will follow this standard for funerals."
The village chief opened his mouth. In fact, when Wang Guifen proposed to cancel the engagement, he had already realized what the child wanted to do.
He could understand that Wang Guifen wanted to sacrifice her marriage to bury her parents, which was another way of selling herself to bury her father.
But her hedgehog-like behavior is really unpleasant.
If she were a boy, she could still be described as free and easy, but she is a girl. A girl with such a personality would be a tough guy no matter who she marries.
My husband’s family will be disgusted.
So the village chief didn't say anything, but just took the money and did his best to organize the funeral of the Wang couple.
Silver bracelets from the 80s were still quite valuable, but at that time, money was more valuable.
Since there was only one bracelet, I sold it for thirty dollars.
The 80 yuan in the 30s, which was calculated in dimes and cents, was enough to buy a thin coffin for a funeral in the countryside, instead of a straw mat.
Cremation as a burial method has been promoted since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but many rural people do not agree with it. They believe that fallen leaves should return to their roots and should be buried in the soil.
So basically they didn't start cremation on a large scale until 85 when it was enforced. Even during this period, there were still people who refused to be cremated and buried their dead secretly.
The year is now 80.
According to the village custom, burial was a natural requirement, but Wu Yuezhao found it too troublesome and wanted cremation directly, and she took the ashes away with her.
The village chief was unwilling at first. If she, a girl destined to marry out, was allowed to take the ashes away, wouldn't the Wang brothers become wandering ghosts? !
In response, Wu Yuezhao said, "If you don't want to, then I'll leave these two things to you. Just as you said, I'm destined to marry someone else, so I probably won't come to burn paper at the grave in the future. You can just help burn some during festivals. Of course, you don't have to burn them, but don't blame me when they come looking for you."
village head:"......"
The old man's face was wrinkled, and he really wanted to say to Wang Guifen: "Aren't you a feudal dregs?! Three and a half years ago, just for this sentence, you would have been thrown into the cowshed!"
But after thinking it over again, he held back his words, waved his hand, and told Wang Guifen to take the two jars and get out of here!
Wu Yuezhao rolled his eyes. He was only fifty years old, but he looked like a 70-year-old man.
He just walked away with the bag.
After leaving the village, Wu Yuezhao got into the Santana prepared by Wu Huaiyi. He looked at the car and frowned: "Didn't this car become popular in 83 when flower planting became popular? Can it be driven now?!"
"It's okay. This is foreign merchandise bought from Hong Kong. The market is good right now, so the regulation on this matter is not too strict."
After hearing the guarantee, Wu Yuezhao didn't say anything more. He just found a stinky ditch and poured the two cans of stuff into it.
Then he drew a detention symbol on the spot.
Let them smoke in the stinking ditch first to build up their temper, then bring them out to grind the millstone.
