The middle-aged man’s name is Zhu Fugui and he has three sisters.
The three sisters are named Zhu Pandi, Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Yingdi.
After the rich parents gave birth to three daughters, they finally gave birth to a boy in their fourth child.
Although the family is very poor, with their son, the old couple feels that their future life is full of hope.
Since I was a child, if there is delicious food at home, I will eat it first if I am rich, and if there is cloth, I will make new clothes for the rich first.
Since the age of five or six, the three daughters have helped the family with farm work and sewing clothes to earn money to support the family.
The three of them and Fugui’s mother take care of the food, daily living, and cleaning at home.
What about wealth?
My parents doted on me and didn’t let me work. I just ate melon seeds and basked in the sun.
Fugui would help his sisters with some work at first, but later he got used to idleness and became lazy. Sometimes he would accuse his sisters of being lazy and not being quick at work.
Later on, he simply became the little bully in the family. He wouldn’t listen to anyone, and no one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
One time while eating, Fugui wanted to eat from the eldest sister's bowl because he had finished the food in his own bowl. When the eldest sister refused, he threw the eldest sister's bowl.
On one side, the eldest sister was shedding tears as she fished the food from the ground into a bowl. On the other side, the rich parents praised the rich man and his domineering attitude.
Fugui’s father is not a serious person either.
I thought that anyway, I have three daughters at home. They will get married one by one in two years. If I order more betrothal gifts, I will have money on hand. Then I can give the money to my son to do some business, and I will be able to enjoy happiness when I am old. .
The wishful thinking is ringing, and if I have a few bucks on hand, I will run to the gambling stall.
As the saying goes, I am a hero and my son is a good man, but I am a bastard and I am a troublemaker.
With his own father as an example, this rich man not only idles around, but also begins to get into the habit of gambling as he grows older, even worse than his father.
Sometimes when I get tired of gambling, I go home and ask my three sisters for money. When my sisters run out of money, they ask their parents for money. If they don’t get it, they get angry, lose their temper, and throw things.
His parents couldn't see their son being like this, and they were afraid that outsiders would gossip, so they hurriedly went out to borrow money and put it in the hands of rich people.
Fugui took the money and dived into the gambling stall without saying a word.
When the eldest sister was seventeen, a matchmaker came to propose marriage. The matchmaker was a childhood sweetheart who had played with the eldest sister since she was a child. Her family was not wealthy, but she was an honest person, and the two of them had already been in love with each other.
The rich father lion opened his mouth and asked for a betrothal gift.
The number that Fu Gui Dad wants is something that the other party cannot come up with no matter what. If he forces it together, the whole family will have to pay off debts for the rest of their lives.
The other party had no choice but to break off the matchmaking.
After hearing this, the eldest sister had a big fight with her rich father and cried at home for three days.
A few days later, the matchmaker came to the door again and said that a large familyMy father wants to take the eldest sister as his concubine, and his request is fully satisfied.
Fugui’s father married Pandi off without saying a word.
It’s different when a wealthy family makes a move. The betrothal gift is twice as much as what the rich father originally expected.
While lighting the betrothal gifts with Fugui and Fugui’s mother, he said proudly: “Well, you’d better listen to me. You can’t hesitate to marry such a wealthy family.”
After saying that, he gave Fugui two taels of silver.
"Go and have fun."
Fugui took the money and went to the gambling stall.
Fugui's father collected the remaining money and said to his mother: "We will save the money from the three girls' weddings. We will marry Fugui a beautiful wife in the future and start a small business." , Let’s just hope for wealth and happiness from now on.”
But what he didn’t expect was that the generous gift given to his eldest sister when she got married would end up losing him in gambling in less than a year. Bare.
The eldest sister's life was not bad. Although she was married as a concubine, the master was very kind to her. Within two years, she gave birth to a big fat boy, and she was able to establish herself.
Fugui’s father shamelessly came to ask his daughter for money, but the eldest daughter said with a straight face that he didn’t have it.
His father was so angry that he took out the sole of his shoe and wanted to give his daughter two blows like before.
Before he stretched out his hand, he was pushed to the ground by a thug from a wealthy family.
"If you try again, believe it or not, your hand will be broken!"
The eldest daughter turned her back to Fugui Dad and went straight back to the house without even looking at him. Went.
As his father walked home angrily, he muttered: "Married daughters are just like thrown water. That's absolutely true. They are all a bunch of white-eyed wolves. They deserve me." If I had given birth to you, I would have strangled you to death as soon as you were born.”
Without the help of my eldest sister, all the money was spent, and the family began to live in poverty again.
Fortunately, within two years, the second sister was also slim and graceful.
I have another money tree on my hands.
The second sister is beautiful and is a well-known beauty.
The betrothal gift that the rich father wants this time is several times that of his eldest daughter!
He understood through what happened to his eldest daughter that marrying off a daughter was a one-time deal, and he could not expect them to give back to the family after they left.
Only his son is his eternal support.
For the future of him and his wife, he had to ask for more money for Fugui.
No matter what the matchmaker says, Fugui Dad will only hold a number, fifty taels of silver, and it will not work if it is less than one penny.
After a year of procrastination, a matchmaker finally came to the door and said that there was a family that could meet the conditions set by his rich father.
"Father, I'm the first to say ugly things. This family has an old man who wants to marry a beautiful girl. The old man is in his mid-sixties this year. I don't know if your girl is willing." "
Fugui's father waited for a whole year and watched.It was time to lower his expectations. At this time, someone was able to meet his conditions, which made him overjoyed.
"Whether she wants to or not, it depends on the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. She cannot make the decision on this matter of marriage. I just accept it for her!"
That night, Someone delivered the betrothal gift.
The second daughter heard that she was going to marry an old man whose neck was buried in the soil, and she refused to do so.
"You have to obey even if you don't obey!"
Fugui's father said harsh words, turned around and locked the door.
As soon as the rich father left, the second daughter hanged herself in her room.
Early the next morning, the other party arranged for a sedan to come to pick you up.
As soon as the door opened, both the matchmaker and the rich father were in mourning.
A happy event turned into a funeral. The matchmaker felt it was too unlucky, and it would be difficult for her to be a matchmaker in the future.
The rich father cried loudly. The money he received was gone, and the betrothal gift he had received had to be returned.
This was not a good thing. Fugui’s father hurriedly buried his second daughter’s body in a thin coffin, and even the funeral was simply blurred.
The second daughter’s biggest cash cow fell, and Fugui’s parents sat together wiping tears.
Why are you wiping your tears?
I was told by my son.
"You are about to get married, and you can't even look down on her. What's the use of you two? You can only eat and wait for death when you are old."
End of scolding. My parents, Fugui, turned around and went to the casino again.
Not long after, Fugui’s father saw his third daughter, who had just turned sixteen, and immediately had a new idea.
He found his previous matchmaker.
"Although my second daughter is gone, my third daughter is also very pretty. She has just turned sixteen today. Do you still like the old man who renewed his marriage?"
The second daughter’s body was still cold before his father had the idea of the third daughter.
The matchmaker was worried that her last matchmaking match had not worked out and she had driven the girl to death. Unexpectedly, the other girl’s father was not angry and even came to her door.
"I'll go and ask."
As if asking for credit, the matchmaker told the old man. When the old man heard that there was a younger and beautiful girl, he nodded in agreement.
On the night when the betrothal gift was delivered, the third daughter was wrapped in a quilt and taken to the old man’s house overnight.
Watching his third daughter leave the house, Fugui’s father breathed a sigh of relief.
While lighting up the betrothal gift, he said to Fugui: "Fugui, you are not young anymore. In two years, I will find you a beautiful wife and start a small business. Your mother and I will I will be counting on you for the rest of my life."
Who would have thought that a word from Fu Gui almost choked this old man to death.
