Chapter 7 It's Set

Speaking of her daughters, Chen Cui'e has something to say, "I'm not exaggerating, my three daughters inherited my white skin. If they were like their father, they would be doomed."

"Yes, I have also seen your Xinlan. She is destined to be with the boy from the Zhao family, right? We live in the same building. I saw you last time when you came to introduce yourself to the family, but you were busy at that time and may not have noticed."

Sun Erni had seen Jiang Xinlan before. She was pretty and she thought her younger sister Jiang Xinbai wouldn't be much worse.

"Really? It's really fate."

Matchmaker Chen clapped her hands and laughed loudly, "It's fate, come on, let's get down to business. Let me introduce the man first. This Sun sister has three sons and two daughters. The older ones are all married, and now only the youngest son and daughter are still at home. Today I'm proposing marriage to the third boy. He's a very hardworking young man. He's working in a meat processing factory as a regular employee, and he can earn 25 yuan a month."

Chen Cui'e nodded slightly. She had heard from her youngest daughter about the boy from the Yang family. He was quite good, but as a woman, she always had to be reserved.

Matchmaker Chen saw that Chen Cui'e just smiled and said nothing, so she turned her head to look at Sun Erni, and then continued: "This sister Sun is also sincere. Look, the betrothal gift is 188, and there are 48 legs."

Sun Erni waited for Matchmaker Chen to finish her words and then added, "To be honest, Sister Chen, I have three sons in my family. We really can't afford to buy three turns and one ring for all of them, so we only bought one for them when they got married. I also have a bicycle ticket here, which will be counted as part of the betrothal gift. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Chen Cui'e looked at Sun Erni in surprise. A betrothal gift of 188 yuan also included a bicycle ticket. That was really rare, especially because the ticket was rare.

Since the other party's attitude is so good, she has also heard that the Yang family is a kind family, and her youngest daughter also likes it, so she might as well agree.

Chen Cui'e thought about it, and her face showed some satisfaction. She smiled and said, "According to convention, as the woman, we should refuse several times before agreeing, but I am also a decisive person. Since it has come to this, then let's do it. But my Xiaobai is still two months away from turning 18, and her sister is getting married next month, so she will definitely be late."

"That's for sure. I understand." Sun Erni nodded repeatedly.

Matchmaker Chen saw that she had arranged the marriage in one try, and she couldn't help but laugh, "This is really the most successful marriage, these two young people will definitely live happily together."

"Thank you for your good wishes." Chen Cui'e and Sun Erni smiled at each other.

At this time, Wu Hehua also came back with a basket full of vegetables. Before she even got there, her voice came in first, "Mom, you're right, most of the vegetables in the private plot are ripe, I picked the big ones, and left the small ones alone, otherwise we won't be able to finish them all in a short time."

Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law coming back, Chen Cui'e took the basket from her and divided it into three portions on the table. Then she smiled at Sun Erni and the others and said, "We don't have anything good at home. These are the only fresh dishes. Come on, take them back and try them."

When Sun Erni heard this, she quickly refused, "Sister Chen, we can't take this, you keep it for yourself."

"Yes, keep them for yourself." Matchmaker Chen also said. Although she really wanted to take them home, these cucumbers and eggplants were very juicy and looked delicious. At least they were better than those wilted vegetables at the vegetable market, which people had to queue up for.

So living in the countryside has its advantages. At least every household has a private plot of land, so they will never lack vegetables for their own consumption.

Chen Cui'e ignored their refusal and took some straw ropes to tie up the cucumbers and eggplants. "Don't be polite. This is all we have at home. It's not much. Sister Sun, please bring some to the Yang family for me."

Seeing that Chen Cui'e was really willing to give it, Sun Erni shamelessly accepted it, "I'm so sorry, well, I happen to have a net bag in my bag, how about putting everything in my net bag first and then dividing it up later?"

"Okay, put them all in the net bag." Matchmaker Chen nodded.

Wu Hehua, who was standing by, curled her lips secretly. Seeing her mother-in-law rushing to help her, she felt uncomfortable. Why was she giving away food for no reason? If she couldn't finish it, she could take it back to her parents' home.

"Okay, then it's settled. We'll come back on a good day." Sun Erni held Chen Cui'e's hand and couldn't help laughing. This future in-law was really generous. Although it was just some vegetables, they were so generous and she felt comfortable looking at them.

Chen Cui'e smiled and nodded, watching them slowly walk towards the village entrance.

After Wu Hehua and the others left, she dared to ask in a low voice: "Mom, why did Matchmaker Chen come to our house? Didn't my second sister get engaged? Did she propose marriage to my youngest sister? What did she mean by what she said just now? Did you agree?"

Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law asking questions non-stop, Chen Cui'e raised her eyelids impatiently and said, "Okay, just know it in your heart. Don't spread it around before it's officially decided." After saying that, she walked towards the inner room.

"Hey, you haven't told me if you are my younger sister? You can't even speak clearly, really." Wu Hehua only dared to mutter the last sentence in a low voice, not daring to let her mother-in-law hear it.

In the evening, the Jiang family held another small meeting. When everyone knew that after Jiang Xinlan, Jiang Xinbai also married into the city, the family became excited.

"Second sister and little sister, you two are really promising. Don't forget to help your brother and sister-in-law in the future." Jiang's wife Wu Hehua was the first to speak.

“Yes, yes, I said that your second and youngest sisters are lucky and blessed. Look, they are about to marry and live in the city. Don’t forget your nephews and nieces when the time comes.” Jiang’s second sister-in-law, Sun Ju, also said, fearing that she would be left behind.

Chen Cui'e frowned but said nothing. After all, she was hoping that her two daughters could help out a little bit in her family.

Jiang Xinbai waved her hand generously and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. My second sister and I will definitely think of you. After all, our parents' family supports us. But, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, when my second sister and I get married, will you..." She stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together, and her meaning was very clear.

Wu Hehua and Sun Ju looked at each other and said, "Haha, well, of course there is, of course there is, don't worry." If you don't sacrifice a child, you won't be able to catch a wolf. They gritted their teeth and could make a dollar.

Seeing that they understood what he meant, Jiang Xinbai looked away with satisfaction.
