In Brittany's memory, Mia was fine the day before, but the next day, she seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only did she refuse to marry, but she also persuaded Mrs. Lee with sweet words to let her, who was not even fifteen years old, marry.
After the persuasion of the matchmaker Aunt Lisa, the Rivers family finally agreed to change the person.
No matter how she looked at it, this matter was a little strange.
Mia's eyes flickered. Of course, she would not say that she was reborn.
In her previous life, after her father disappeared, as the eldest sister, she took charge of everything in the family. She had to decoct medicine for her mother every day, bring her sister to cook for the family, wash the family's clothes, and take care of the vegetable garden.
One had to know that their family had hired servants in the past.
In the past, these things were all done by servants.
After her father went missing, her mother took medicine every day. The family's money ran out, and they could not afford servants, so she had to dismiss them.
She was exhausted every day. She just wanted to get rid of the burden of her parents' family as soon as possible, so she begged Aunt Lisa, who was the matchmaker, to find a marriage for her.
Aunt Lisa said that most people would wait until the autumn harvest and have money in their hands and then they would ask for marriage. Now, she only had a marriage for a patient from the Rivers family. It was very urgent and was about to finish.
To marry a patient Mia was unwilling to, but it was in line with her wishes to marry immediately.
However, Aunt Lisa added that although Dave Rivers was sick now, he was full of energy when he was not sick. He could be compared to two strong laborers.
Moreover, the Rivers family was well-off and lived in a brick house. Not only that, Dave's younger brother, Sam, had been a child prodigy since he was a child. He had become a scholar at the age of fifteen and was very famous in the entire Nanya Prefecture. It was said that he was a Literary God from heaven who had descended to the mortal world. In the future, he would become a butcher. If she married him, she would enjoy a good life in the future.
She did want to marry Sam, but Aunt Lisa said that the Rivers family planned to wait until Sam passed the imperial examination before finding a woman from an official family to marry. In the future, she would also be of help to Sam in the officialdom.
Countless wealthy families wanted to marry their daughters to Sam. They asked her to propose marriage, but the Rivers family refused.
How could she get this kind of hot commodity?
Mia thought to herself that her family was now in decline, and marrying Sam was indeed a delusion.
If she couldn't marry Sam, then the Rivers family's eldest son could make do.
After all, they were a family. If Sam became rich, Dave Rivers would also have a good life.
As long as the Rivers family's eldest son could survive this time.
Mia felt that she was lucky. If she married him, he would recover.
Since Mrs. Lee was crying day by day and did not care about anything else, she decided to agree to this marriage on her own.
Who knew that Dave Rivers would die on the day he married her? Alas, let's not talk about the days after that.
It was just that Mia was reborn too late. The marriage had already been agreed on the day before. The next day, they would have to exchange the information of the bride with that of the bridegroom. On the third day, they would have to marry, and the betrothal money had also been spent by half.
Money was not a problem. The family still had some property. If they found something to pawn, they would be able to gather this bit of money. It was just that breaking off the engagement would not be good for the girl's reputation.
In the future, if words got out that she used to get engaged, she would be less valuable and would not be able to find a good husband.
Mia had an idea and had the fourteen-year-old Brittany marry.
At this moment, when Britany asked her about it directly, Mia said guiltily, "I changed my mind because I was worried that no one would take care of mother and brother."
"You're young and don't know how to do much work. I have to do the work at home."
Brittany pulled Chris over. "You make it sound so nice. Is this how you take care of our younger brother?"
"How long has it been since he last showered?"
"It's still August. He should take a shower every day. Look at his hair and smell his body!"
