Chapter 862 Second Development
Next door, Courtyard No. 4.
Because people have been moving in and out recently, Courtyard No. 4 has been very busy recently.
It wasn't until late at night that everything finally quieted down.
The Dou family moved today. The old couple had to go to work during the day, and their daughters felt sorry for their parents working so hard, so the two married daughters did not go home at night and stayed behind.
We had a lively dinner together to celebrate the move in the evening, and will help each other pack up and organize things in the house tomorrow.
The old couple has three filial daughters and is happy and relaxed.
He only asked with concern: "You guys are not going home tonight, have you told your family?"
Dou Dajie and Dou Erjie both nodded: "We agreed before we came back. We'll go back tomorrow night."
The old couple knew that their two daughters were doing well, so they didn't ask any more questions.
He glanced at the third brother, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and in the end said nothing more.
But Dou's eldest and second sisters noticed their parents' looks, and while they were cooking, they asked, "How have you been lately? I heard there are a lot of matchmakers trying to find you. What do you think?"
Dou Min just kept wiping the table without saying anything.
There was a fire burning in the kitchen and a coal stove. We had just eaten, so the temperature was much higher than outside. Now it was time to clean the kitchen. In order to make it easier to work, I took off my thick cotton coat and put on a small cotton jacket.
Dou Erjie's gaze fell on her younger sister. Suddenly, she paused, walked over, and pinched her waist: "Your waist looks thinner, why does this dress look so small?"
As soon as she said this, her eldest sister's gaze also fell over.
They both looked at her chest and had to admit that the clothes there were indeed tight.
We have all been through this, so there is no need to explain what this means. Those who understand will understand.
A woman's breasts will generally develop again after marriage as long as the relationship between the couple is good.
That all depends on a man's good hands and good mouth.
The eldest and second sister's expressions changed instantly.
The eldest sister first went to the door to check, and after confirming that her parents were packing up next door and hadn't noticed this side, she closed the door, walked over, and pinched Dou Min:
"You're going to die! Tell the truth about what happened!"
Dou Min has been a widow for three years. There was clearly no sign of pregnancy before, but it's no wonder the two of them are making such a fuss.
Dou Erjie's mind was already spinning with thoughts: "I've never heard that brother-in-law has any brothers! Who did you sleep with?!"
Dou Erjie asked this because she and her eldest sister both married into families with many brothers, the kind where a family would only marry one wife for all the brothers.
Dou's brother-in-law has five brothers, and even the youngest one is not much older than her eldest son. He was born to her second mother-in-law a few years after she got married.
Because the mother-in-law passed away due to old age and illness, my father-in-law and his brothers cannot be without wives, especially my father-in-law's youngest brother who is still in his prime. If the family does not marry a wife, it will be an ethical incident when the later daughters-in-law come into the family.
So, my father-in-law married my second mother-in-law first, and then my eldest sister Dou married my eldest brother-in-law.
Second mother-in-law gave birth to three daughters before she had a son, who was only a few years younger than Dou Dajie's eldest son.
Dou Er's brother-in-law also has five brothers. The youngest brother was just a few days old when my father-in-law and his two brothers encountered a blind bear in the mountains. Two of them died on the spot. The youngest one came back with his last breath, but died within two days.
My mother-in-law was greatly shocked and passed away before she could finish her confinement period.
So the little brother was almost raised by Dou Erjie.
This is the kind of life they both live, so when they consider problems, they naturally go in this direction.
Dou Min just remained silent, her face flushed, and she looked shy.
Seeing this, Sister Dou frowned deeply: "Xiao Min, tell me honestly, are you still jealous of your parents for marrying you to your ex-brother-in-law?"
The two elders of the Dou family had three daughters. Because of the influence of the customs in Wumu Town from ancient times to the present, they did not think there was anything wrong with marrying their daughters into families with many brothers.
Even Old Man Dou often lamented that his brothers were not closely related, as he was the only male heir in his generation.
As a result, there was not a single male offspring in the next generation!
He always felt that if he had brothers, his family would definitely not have only three daughters.
This was his lifelong regret and also the Dou family's regret.
Therefore, when his daughters grew up, he strongly advocated marrying them to families with many brothers, so that the family would be prosperous and blessed with many children, and his daughters would suffer less grievances and work less hard.
He personally took care of the families of his two sons-in-law. His eldest daughter's family was a working-class family. Two of his four sons-in-law were workers, and the other two were farmers, living in the suburbs outside the city.
His father-in-law had just remarried and they lived in two large tiled houses separately from the younger generation. He thought the conditions were very good.
The second daughter's family is a farmer, but it is not far from Wumu Town. The key is that this family are simple people and hunters. The daughter follows them. Even in a famine, as long as the sons-in-law are diligent, she will not have to worry about food and clothing.
But when it came to his third daughter, he actually married her to a teacher who was the only child in the family.
The reason is that Old Man Dou was able to reach his current position thanks to the favors done by his father's generation. Now that someone said he liked his third daughter, he had no choice but to marry his daughter to him.
She thought that her third son-in-law was employed by the government and was a highly educated person, so he would not make things difficult for her daughter.
Who would have thought that this third son-in-law was a sickly person with a bad temper, and would beat and scold his wife at any time.
Because her eldest and second sisters married well, and her brothers-in-law not only had good family conditions but were also handsome and strong, Dou Min felt very uncomfortable.
Dou Min became even more unhappy as she lived that kind of life again after marriage. During that period, she became more and more distant from her family and sisters.
She never complained about the injustices she suffered until one day, when she was beaten with a bloody head. Her neighbors found her and sent her to the hospital, which also alerted the police. Only then did her family realize that her life was not going well at all.
Everyone advised her to get a divorce, but Dou Min seemed to be deliberately going against her family and refused to agree.
As a result, her husband drank two more glasses of wine at a teacher appreciation banquet. On the way home, he missed a step and rolled down the stairs, dying on the spot.
Dou Min's ex-mother-in-law and father-in-law were also not tolerant people. When their only son died, they wanted to eat Dou Min, thinking that it was Dou Min who killed their son.
Fortunately, there were many students present that night, who could prove that Dou Min was very far away from him at the time, and he really fell down the stairs because he missed a step.
After this, the two elders of the Dou family forcibly brought their widowed daughter back home and made it clear with her in-laws that Dou Min was free to marry from then on.
