Chapter 66 Han's Matchmaking

Seeing Su Nizi's expression slightly moved, Han suggested, "Sister, how about I go and ask around for you? If the girl is willing, it can help you solve your problem. If she is not willing, forget it, I will ask around for you later.

To be honest, our village is the only one that has had a better life in the past two years. Other villages are suffering. We have no shortage of girls from poor families here."

Su Nizi quickly held Han's hand and said, "I really need your help. I know the conditions on the ice field are not good, so I am willing to give out ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift, as long as the other party is willing to marry my son."

When Han heard about the ten taels of silver, she exclaimed, "Sister, once the news of your betrothal gift spreads, even wealthy families will be tempted. I think Miss Chunhua will agree."

It costs about one or two taels of silver to marry a wife here. Those who can afford two taels of silver are well-off. I have never heard of any family paying ten taels of silver to marry a wife.

While the three were talking, Han and Ruan Xiaoyu prepared the food and brought it to the table.

First there was a pot of braised wild rabbit meat, then a large pot of white flour steamed buns and meat dumplings, and finally the wild vegetable dumpling soup.

There were vegetables and meat, and the portions were generous. Everyone in the Ke family ate without saying a word.

Su Nizi's second son Ke Zhengliang ate a steamed bun in one bite, then had a meat bun, and drank some wild vegetable dumpling soup when he had time, looking very happy.

Seeing that they didn't eat much braised rabbit meat, Su Chunlin quickly picked up a piece for each of them and said, "Don't be polite, eat more."

Ke Yunyun raised her head and smiled sweetly, "Uncle, there aren't that many wild vegetables on the ice field. I think this dumpling soup tastes better than meat."

Everyone in the Su family looked at each other in surprise.

Su Ming hurriedly said, "Cousin, then you should eat more. I will take you to the mountains tomorrow and we will pick whatever wild vegetables you want to eat."

"Thank you, cousin." Ke Yunyun narrowed her eyes, and her happy look was exactly the same as Ke Zhengliang's.

After everyone had finished their meal, Su Sheng brought Su Yu over.

I also brought a lot of good things.

Seeing that Su Yu behaved elegantly, like a lady from a noble family, everyone in the Ke family became much more reserved.

In front of everyone, Han asked Su Yu about the doctor in the county.

The entire Ke family instantly put aside all those miscellaneous thoughts and stared at Su Yu eagerly.

Su Yu smiled slightly and said slowly: "There are quite a few doctors in the county. As far as I know, there are two in the east of the city, one in the west, and two or three in the south and north of the city. These are all famous ones. If you count other unknown doctors, there are at least 20 to 30.

But I'm not sure if there is anyone who is good at diagnosing and treating coughs. However, when the master of the Bai Mansion is sick, he usually consults Doctor Qu from Renshan Hall. He is very good at treating female and infant diseases. You can ask about him when you go to the county town.

Of course, the easiest way is to find my father. He often goes out with Mr. Bai and has more information than I do.

But now the autumn harvest has just passed, and Master Bai has to take inventory of the shop, which usually keeps him busy until the end of September. After the end of September is the month of ancestor worship in the Bai Mansion, and during that time the master of the Bai Mansion does not go out unless necessary, does not receive guests, and seldom uses a carriage, so my father can also have a month of leisure.

If you go to him at that time, he can help you find out the details of all the doctors in the county."

Ke Dasong stood in awe and praised repeatedly, "My brother-in-law is really amazing."

Su Chunlin nodded in agreement, "Of course!"

Since they couldn't go to the county town for the time being, the Ke family simply stayed at the Su family.

Su Chunlin felt guilty towards his sister, so he specifically asked Han to prepare more white flour and meat and treat the Ke family with delicious food and drinks during this period.

Su Tai was worried that Han would be unhappy, so she took out another 100 kilograms of flour and gave it to Han.

The couple was stunned.

Su Chunlin came back to his senses and asked with a bad look in his eyes: "Girl, tell your father honestly, how many good things did Shen Yi secretly give you?"

"That's not true! Mom and Dad, these are the last of our food. If there's more, there will be no more." Su Tai looked like a rogue. She was going to get married anyway, so she wasn't afraid of the couple's questioning.

Su Chunlin didn't believe it and searched the house inside and out, but found nothing. Finally, he had to believe Su Tai's words.

The next day.

When Han heard that Chunhua was at home, she immediately brought Ruan Xiaoyu to her house.

The autumn harvest has passed, but the five siblings dare not sit idle. They go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables during the day and fertilize the fields in the evening. They cannot be idle for a moment, and it is not easy to find them.

Chunhua had just lit the fire in the stove when she saw Ruan Xiaoyu and Han come in. She quickly wiped her hands and walked over to greet them, "Xiaoyu, Auntie, why are you here? Come and sit down."

As Chunhua spoke, she moved out the small stool from the corner.

Han looked around the kitchen and started to gossip, "I thought this yard would be in a state of disrepair after a year, but I didn't expect you to take such good care of it!"

That’s right, Chunhua and her four siblings are still living in Su Chunlin’s old house, which is why she is anxious to buy land and build a house.

Chunhua hurriedly thanked him, "Aunt and Uncle are so kind to give us such a good place to stay. We must take good care of it."

Han nodded with satisfaction, and asked Chunhua a few more questions before explaining her purpose, "Aunt knows that you five siblings depend on each other and your life is not easy. I see that you are not young anymore, so why haven't you said anything to me yet?

I just happen to have a candidate here, so I came to talk to you about it and you can consider it. "

Chunhua was a little surprised. She quickly put two scoops of cold water into the pot and sat down to listen carefully. "Aunt, please tell me."

Han cleared her throat and told Chunhua everything about the Ke family. Seeing Chunhua's gloomy expression, she sighed and said helplessly, "You should have heard that my sister-in-law and her family are selling sheep in the village. They did make a lot of money this time, but unfortunately their family is in the ice field, and there are not many girls willing to marry there.

So she is willing to take out ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift. You can think about it for a few days and give me a definite answer after my daughter gets married. Whether it succeeds or not, I can understand and you don’t have to bear any burden. "

Chunhua smiled gratefully at Han, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I will consider your question carefully and will give you a reply after discussing it with my brothers and sisters."

"Okay, okay."

Han took Ruan Xiaoyu away with a smile.

Not long after they left, Xia Hua came back with her three younger brothers.

Seeing that there was only water in the pot without anything else in it, the four of them were a little puzzled.

Chunhua forced a smile and quickly prepared dinner.

After the five of them had finished their meal, she told them about Han’s visit.

Chunhua's eldest brother Ye An was the first to object. "Sister, we have already earned a lot of money this year and bought some land. As long as we work harder, we will be able to recover next year. I will give you a generous dowry and help you find a good family. You don't have to marry into the ice field and suffer."

Her other two brothers also immediately expressed their opinions, "Yes, we will work hard and we will not marry into the ice field."
