The little fatty happily took the copper coin and put it in his pocket. He rubbed the dog skin hat with one hand and revealed a silly face." There's no Eldest Aunt, I don't even recognize…Three people…"
Aunt Wang was shocked. She turned to look at her mother-in-law who had followed her."Not big sister?"
The old lady did not know what was going on either. After hesitating for a moment, she could only say,"Forget it for now. I'll go and call for wealth. You go and change your clothes!”
Aunt Wang agreed, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went their separate ways.
At the school, the two teachers were studying the name list in their hands and preparing to assign the children to their classes. Wang Fugui called the Village Chief and Chunsheng to accompany the children today. The three of them saw that it was still early, so they rushed to the school to get busy. School would start the day after tomorrow, so they had to burn the Earth Dragon as soon as possible. The firewood sent by the villagers had to be arranged neatly. Mr. Feng had also agreed that the bookcase and embroidery rack would be delivered today and that someone would be arranged to receive and place them. Oh right, there were people from other villages who came to register today. They were afraid that there would be too many people and they would not understand the rules, so they had to call a few people over to watch…
Wang Maocai was so busy that he had a headache. He wished he could grow three heads and six arms, but he was happy and his feet were strong. When Wang Fugui shouted," Second Brother, someone from the Zhuang Manor is here-", he was standing on the ladder and tying the last red rope to the bronze bell.
"Why are you so early?" Wang Maocai came down from the ladder. He jumped down before he reached the lowest level. He didn't look like a person whose grandson was in his teens at all. Although he said that, he had been in a relationship with Wang Fugui and his brother for decades. Dacheng was also an outstanding young man in the village. He was naturally happy to help discuss his marriage.
He called Chunsheng over and told him to keep an eye on the place. He also told him to wait until the discussion was over before he went to serve tea and toasts to the elders. Wang Fugui had already told him what the Zhang family had in mind. They were discussing things. It was just that the other side wanted it and the other side returned it. They would discuss it first before eating. The good and bad things would be said before dinner. When they raised their glasses, it would be good for everyone.
There were some things that Wang Fugui and his wife couldn't say as parents, and they couldn't say as juniors. They had to rely on their mouths!
Wang Maocai rubbed his hands together confidently and left the school with Wang Fugui. They waited in the open space outside. This was a good location. It was not far from the Wang family's house, but it was not close. They did not know who the other party was, so it was not good to appear too close or too distant.
Wang Maocai sized up the empty space."Brother, don't say that. The land you left behind is really not bad. I want to buy a piece of land here and build a house. By relying on the school, I can sleep for an extra hour just by listening to the children read!”
Wang Fugui laughed out loud." Second Brother must be possessed. Then, buy this forest in the west. As long as you don't find this rocky land difficult to clean up!"”
Wang Maocai nodded seriously as if he had made up his mind."I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. It's just a stone. What's so difficult about it?”
As the two of them were chatting, the boy leading the way led three people over from afar. Wang Fugui recognized them at a glance, and he felt bad. What was going on?
As the matchmaker, his elder sister didn't come, nor did he find an elder to come. What was going on with this pair of brother and sister-in-law bringing a daughter who was waiting to be married?
The old brothers looked at each other and were dumbfounded, especially Wang Maocai. He had helped many children in the village to discuss marriage matters, but he had never seen such a combination.
Welcome? They were all juniors. One of them was a chief, and the other was a eunuch. Did they still have the face to be a eunuch?
You don't welcome me, right? They came all the way here, and one of them was going to be his daughter-in-law. Should he give them face or not?
The person was getting closer and closer. While hesitating, Wang Maocai quickly walked into the school and shouted,"Chunsheng, Wang Kui, come here!"
This special group of people was destined to be awkward. Aunt Wang and her husband suppressed the doubts in their hearts and tried their best to smile more kindly."Nephew, even your niece-in-law is here? Xiaoyun is here too? Was it cold on the road? Hurry up and sit in the house!"
Zhang Xi stepped forward to hold Uncle Wang's hand and smiled devoutly."Hello uncle, hello aunt, Yun 'er, quick, quick, call for help!”
"That's right, Yun 'er, quickly call for help!" Why was she so shy at home? Aiyo, Auntie, look, Yun 'er is shy! Haha…"
" Uncle, Aunt--"
" Hey, hey--come in and sit!" Hearing Zhang Yunyun's mosquito-like voice, Aunt Wang doubted whether this girl could get along well with her family for the first time."Hurry up and enter the house. It's cold outside!"
Zhang Yunyun sat down in the hall. She was still wearing a headscarf that covered half of her face. Thinking that she was probably shy, Aunt Wang placed her in the shadow near the curtain beside her.
Zhang Yunyun was a little disappointed when she secretly looked around and saw that Dacheng was not around. Zhang Xi and his wife also realized that Dacheng was not at home. They asked in surprise,"Where's Brother Dacheng?”
"I'm not busy. I just finished offering sacrifices to the ancestors and left in a hurry!”，Wang Kui was a shrewd person. He knew what Zhang Xi was going to do just by looking at him. He picked up the kettle and filled the white porcelain tea bowl with water."It's up to you to serve whoever you serve. Don't you agree, brother? It's also because our Dacheng is capable that the boss thinks highly of him. Brother, try this tea!”
"That's right, that's right!" In the sweet white porcelain tea bowl, the tip of the bud straightened up and slowly stretched in the heat. The leaves were green and the tea was clear. Zhang Xi suddenly did not know how to continue. He looked at his wife unintentionally.
Mrs. Zhang took the teacup and took a sip like a woman from a rich family. She raised her eyebrows and praised,"This tea fragrance! Did Brother Dacheng bring it from the city? Auntie doesn't know that everyone in our village praises my aunt for being blessed! Haha…"
"That's right. It's Yun 'er's blessing to be able to come to your house!”，It was easy to talk about the following topic. Zhang Xi could finally show his ability."It's been snowing for two days, and it's really hard to walk. I was afraid that my aunt wouldn't be able to walk easily, so we came here ourselves. Everyone says that there's been a big change in the village this year, and we wanted to let Yun 'er experience it too. Haha…Uncle, Aunt, please don't take offense!”
Uncle Wang muttered in his heart,'Since you've already said so, what can I say? "No, it can't be…" he muttered.
As the saying goes,"hit the snake with the stick", the sister-in-law of the Zhang family used mellow and mature: "I told you that our uncle and aunt are reasonable people. They won't blame us, right? When Yun 'er came, she was still shy and unwilling to come. Now, she was relieved. If you have any thoughts, just tell Uncle and Aunt. Once you enter the house, you are a family. Uncle and Aunt both like you and will definitely agree to you!”
Aunt Wang was stunned.
Zhang Xi knew very well that when boiling soup, it had to be simmered slowly. If it was urgent, not only would it not be able to boil the taste, but it would also be easy for the pot to become muddy. The two of them cooperated tacitly and began to change the topic."Big Grandma is at home? "I'll go kowtow to her…" Zhang Xi stood up as he spoke and even pulled his wife along.
Wang Maocai, who had been a wall for a long time, felt that his brain was not working well at this moment. He quickly drank a mouthful of tea to wake up and find his position. He reached out and suppressed Zhang Xi's movements."Why are you kowtowing? It's not the New Year's Day. Sit down, sit down. Your grandmother will be here in a while. Chunsheng, go and call your wife and the third son to come and talk to the daughter of the Zhang family!”
The tea on the table was changed twice.
When Jin arrived, the Wang family's "tea party" had already been divided into two groups. The Wang family's eldest aunt had also been sent over by her uncle in an ox cart. At this moment, she was sitting in the inner room with Grandma Wang, panting heavily. In the morning, she was still feeding her little grandson. Suddenly, the neighbor rushed over and said that Zhang Xi and his wife had left with Zhang Yunyun an hour ago. The Wang family's eldest aunt was shocked. People said,"When a daughter-in-law marries into the family, the matchmaker throws the wall." This marriage was not over yet and he had already thrown her, the matchmaker, away. The key was that the man was his nephew!
The eldest aunt of the Wang family was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She put down her bowl and left the house full of work to her daughter-in-law. She rushed over without even having time to eat. When she entered, she happened to see Zhang Xi asking for 100 taels of " wedding wine money ". If it wasn't for Aunt Wang holding her back, she would have jumped up and scolded the Zhang family's elder brother and sister-in-law. There was also Zhang Yunyun. Back then, it was because she was good-looking and her parents were honest that they told her nephew. She didn't expect…didn't expect that she was also a…
The Wang Clan's Eldest Aunt was so angry that she wanted to slap her own mouth. Her eldest nephew was capable and good-looking. His parents were reasonable and kind, and his brothers were harmonious. A hundred taels of silver? A hundred taels of silver was enough to marry the daughter of a wealthy family in town!
Just, just a daughter of the Zhang family, how could she--Hmph!
The eldest aunt of the Wang family wiped her eyes and said hatefully,"Mother, please tell my brother and his wife that if it doesn't work, we can just withdraw it. I will make the Zhang family spit out every single cent of the betrothal gift and leave Dacheng's marriage to me! Mother, it's all my fault for being blind and delaying Dacheng. I'll apologize to my brother-in-law later…"
Old Lady Wang looked at her eldest daughter who had become a grandmother. In a daze, her daughter's hair had turned white. She patted her daughter's leg and advised,""You can't know a person's heart by their appearance. At that time, we all saw that this daughter was handsome and honest. Who would have thought that, sigh! It's all because of the silver!"
The old lady thought to herself that the Zhang family still didn't know that Dacheng had become a shopkeeper. Otherwise, hmph!
The eldest aunt of the Wang family wanted to hammer herself in frustration."Mother, it's my fault for not recognizing people clearly. Leave Dacheng's marriage to me, and I'll also add some betrothal gifts!”
