Chapter 315: Cancelled Engagement

"Dad, let's discuss this later. I don't think it's appropriate." Daya said, "Let's deal with the cancellation of the engagement first. When we're ready to distribute the things, we'll discuss the safest way to do it."

"good."

"It's getting late, Jiang Xuan should go back early." Lu Qiniang yawned.

Nothing is more important than eating and sleeping.

Everyone found it a little funny to see that she couldn't open her eyes.

Isn’t such a big thing worth her losing sleep?

Lu Qiniang said, it’s not about whether it’s worth it or not, but what should she do if she is trapped?

The prince, that naughty kid, is making a fuss.

Then everyone dispersed.

Erya pulled Daya and whispered to each other, and the two sisters talked until dawn.

Xiao Yan, Yun Ting and Jiang Xuan also had their own thoughts.

Only Lu Qiniang and San Ya were sleeping soundly.

The next day, Lu Qiniang continued to do what she was supposed to do, without being affected at all.

Erya secretly said to Daya, "Sister, mother is really generous."

She actually put a lot of thought into it.

Lu Qiniang was humming a little tune while feeding the chickens, and muttering about her regret for not being able to raise pigs.

Daya smiled.

She knew that no matter whether she was really relaxed or pretending to be relaxed, her mother would never look sad in front of her.

Mother is afraid that she will be sad.

After dinner, Xiao Yan went to the warehouse, Yun Ting went to study, and Lu Qiniang took her three daughters to the shop.

Several women who were working had arrived a long time ago and were already working hard. The children they brought with them were busy, some were making fires, some were wiping the tables.

Lu Qiniang paid them generous wages, and they all cherished this job opportunity.

The child's work was not in vain, as Lu Qin's mother provided him with meals.

Seeing that there was no one who needed her here, Lu Qiniang took Erya to see Doctor Hu next door.

The shop was just rented and is still being cleaned up.

Doctor Hu and his family of three cleaned the house themselves.

Lu Qiniang rolled up her sleeves and was about to help, but was rejected by Doctor Hu: "Don't move, don't touch my things. You are so impatient, what if you mix up my medicine?"

"Look at all your illnesses. Wouldn't it be fine if I didn't prescribe your medicine?" Lu Qinniang saw that there was not much water in the water tank, so she drew water from the well in the backyard. She didn't even need a shoulder pole. She held a wooden bucket in each hand and poured the water into the water tank easily.

Erya was watching Hu Rui reciting the text.

Hu Rui, who used to be like a little monkey, seems to have grown up a lot these days and can sit there quietly and recite the soup recipe song.

——How could he not be affected by such a big change in his family?

Erya also felt sad.

Lu Qiniang poured the last bucket of well water into the bluestone vat, and the splashing water wet the hem of her coarse cloth skirt.

She rolled up her sleeves to wipe the sweat off her face, frowning as she looked at the mess of junk in the yard.

She cleaned up the mess in the entire yard without taking a break. She simply wrapped her hair with a cloth, took a bamboo pole wrapped in a rag, and went in to reach the spider webs on the beams.

Lin was sweating profusely, and seeing her like this, he felt embarrassed to rest.

It's such a pleasure to watch Lu Qiniang work.

But trying to catch up with her is really a pain, and it's impossible to catch up with her.

They were busy until lunchtime, when Lu Qiniang called the family of three to her shop to eat.

"Da Ya is here today. I told her early this morning that I would cook for your family of three." Lu Qiniang said, "I won't let you eat for free. Old Hu, I've taken in a woman. We've only been married for two years. She's gentle, has a good temper, and is willing to work..."

"Why are you telling me all that?" Doctor Hu said unhappily, "Are you trying to be my matchmaker?"

"I've already told you, she's married, are you behaving properly?" Lu Qiniang said as she washed her hands. "She's pitiful, too. Her husband is sick and can't do heavy work, and he needs medicine. They were separated from the family and have nothing..."

"I see. You've got another job for me," said Doctor Hu. "Tell her to go home and bring her husband over. I don't even want to waste time talking to you. You've got a job for me, and I can't escape it no matter how hard I try."

Lu Qiniang laughed: "Just think of it as a good deed, to accumulate merit. Let's go, sister, we'll leave first. Erya, take Hu Rui with you, and Lao Hu, remember to lock the door."

After dinner, Doctor Hu examined Juanzi’s husband, said the disease could be cured, and prescribed medicine for him.

Juanzi thanks you profusely.

Half a month later, Juanzi happily told Lu Qiniang that her husband was much better.

However, she asked Lu Qiniang for help again.

——She wanted a child, but she didn’t know if her husband could have one, so she wanted to ask Lu Qiniang to ask Doctor Hu.

"Okay, what's the big deal? Look at you, just go and ask Lao Hu directly. Is there any way he won't tell you?"

After Lu Qinniang went there, she came back and told Juanzi, "It's okay. Old Hu said that after ten days or half a month, when your husband stops taking the medicine, you two can have a child. Don't be anxious for now. All medicines are toxic. Let's wait and see."

Juanzi's face flushed, but the joy in her eyes could not be hidden.

The young couple can finally live a normal life.

Both of them have hands and feet, and are at the age of being capable, so they don't have to worry about food.

Lu Qiniang is here to take care of the child, so it won’t affect her even if she gives birth.

The future is really full of expectations.

The others looked on with envy, and said to the youngest, Juanzi, "Now you've made it. You'll have a good life ahead of you."

Then their words became a little vulgar.

Not to mention Juanzi, even Lu Qiniang blushed when she heard it.

This woman, once she gets married, seems to dare to say anything...

Lu Qinniang always hides away at times like this. Who wants to listen to the length, thickness, or duration of the conversation? It's so embarrassing.

On this day, the whole family stayed at home, waiting for the Jiang family.

"Mother, mother, they're here." Erya sneaked in and told Lu Qin's mother, "The Jiang family is here."

Today is the day she has to perform, but it is so crucial that she is so nervous now.

According to Daya's plan, Xiao Yan came to the house a few days ago to propose breaking off the engagement.

Today is the day when the Jiang family comes to take away the betrothal gifts.

On the Jiang family's side, Jiang Xuan arranged a sharp-tongued and harsh-mouthed old woman to come.

——Since the two families have reached the point of breaking off the engagement, it is natural for them to quarrel.

This was also Daya's idea.

Daya said she was not afraid of her reputation being damaged.

The bigger the fuss becomes, the less likely it is that the emperor will let her follow the prince.

After all, the royal family also has to maintain its reputation.

Erya was given the task at a critical moment, and today she was going to have a quarrel with the old woman from the Jiang family.

If we don't tell her in advance, she will definitely perform to the fullest on the spot.

Now that I have prepared in advance, I am getting more and more nervous, with sweat all over my palms.
