Lin Zhengtao was very restrained and found it difficult to speak.

He felt his face flushing red.

Hua Xinhong has had the best relationship with Lin Zhengtao in recent years. Seeing that he is in trouble, he will naturally help enthusiastically.

"Brother Lin, there's no need to be so reserved with me. Just tell me what you have to say."

Hua Xinuo also had a good impression of Uncle Lin.

When my father was beaten before, it was this Uncle Lin who was not afraid of trouble and took the initiative to help.

Otherwise, if others heard of the Chen family's reputation, they would have run away long ago. How could they dare to meddle in other people's business? Wouldn't that offend the Chen family?

Fortunately, the Chen family is no longer a threat.

Lin Zhengtao lowered his head, finding it difficult to speak.

But for the sake of his son, he still said, "Brother Hua, you know Lin Song is eighteen years old now. If he were in the village at his age, he would have been married long ago, and his children would have run away."

"But now, because of my work as a sailor, I don't have a house, and many families are not happy to marry Lin Song."

"Many girls are even more reluctant to follow him on a ship."

"I finally managed to use my connections to find someone willing to marry their daughter to Lin Song. We previously agreed on three taels of silver for the engagement, but now they want five taels. I'm still short of one tael, and I really can't come up with it, so I had the audacity to come to you."

"If...if you're not well-off, then just pretend I never said anything."

Lin Zhengtao was also afraid that Hua Xinhong would be embarrassed.

But he really had no choice.

They work so hard fishing because they want their son to get married quickly.

This way, their parents can put their minds at ease.

Otherwise I would always be thinking about this.

"Actually, over the past half month or so, thanks to your help in collecting the small fish we caught, we've also made quite a bit of money. It's shameless for me to bring this up now."

Hua Xinhong was stunned when he heard this. He naturally understood Lin Zhengtao's temperament.

If there was no other way, I wouldn't have said that.

Naturally, his relationship with Lin Zhengtao is not an ordinary one. The two families have been helping each other over the years.

"Zhengtao, look at what you're saying. Lin Song getting married is a good thing. If you have any problems, I'll definitely help you in any way I can."

Hua Xinhong said this and looked at Qiu Wenqin.

Qiu Wenqin naturally understood and gave one or two taels of silver to Lin Zhengtao.

Lin Zhengtao was so moved that tears were about to fall, "Thank you, Brother Hua, thank you, sister-in-law!"

Qiu Wenqin sighed and said, "Brother Lin, don't be embarrassed to ask for help in the future. Find a wife for Lin Song as soon as possible, and you can rest assured."

"We're wandering the river, with no fixed place to live. People will definitely have some complaints."

"But as long as they are good people and the couple lives a good life, there's nothing wrong with that."

Qiu Wenqin also understands Lin Zhengtao.

To put it bluntly, they are actually looked down upon for sailing on the water.

Floating like duckweed.

Naturally, you will be looked down upon when you visit your relatives.

Not to mention anything else.

Lin Zhengtao knew that one tael of silver was not a small amount. His family had saved for many years to accumulate more than three taels of silver.

It was also during this half month that Hua Xinhong collected their fish and earned a few hundred more coins.

No matter how much you try, it's not enough.

He had originally wanted to save more money and buy a small boat for Lin Song.

It is expensive to buy a plot of land to build a house, but it is still possible to buy an old boat for a few taels of silver.

Lin Zhengtao and his family were worried for several days, and only then did they come to find Hua Xinhong.

Lin Zhengtao was grateful in his heart, "Brother Hua, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will return it as soon as I make money."

Hua Xinhong patted Lin Zhengtao's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, take care of you first."

Now that their family's life has become easier, Hua Xinhong is not as anxious as before.

But he could understand Lin Zhengtao's feelings.

After a conversation, Lin Zhengtao went back, but Hua Xinhong asked him to take the chicken back, but he refused to take it no matter what.

The two people were pushing and shoving each other on the boat. In the end, Lin Zhengtao put the chicken on the boat and quickly returned to his own boat.

Hua Xinuo looked at the chicken and suddenly her expression changed. Could she make some chicken dumplings?

People in this era use chicken to make soup or stir-fry dishes. I have never heard of using chicken to make dumplings.

Recently, some stalls have started to imitate the way they make xiaolongbao.

Although there are fish, meat and mushroom dishes, the taste is not as good as theirs.

But some customers who have never bought or eaten it don’t know and just buy from whichever stall offers the cheapest price.

There happened to be a chicken, so she could use the chicken to make dumplings to see how people would react.

Of course, chicken is not cheap in this era.

Unlike the chicken in the technological age, which has more technological elements and is cheaper.

The chickens here are all raised on farms and are pure, natural, green and pollution-free.

You can also make fish meatballs or chicken meatballs.

While Hua Xinuo was thinking about business, Qiu Wenqin was sighing.

"It's not easy for Brother Lin's family either."

Hua Xinhong nodded and said, "That's right. We have been helped from time to time over the years."

Lin Zhengtao's family are all honest people. They know what is right and what is wrong. Since they need help this time, they will naturally help.

"Luckily, I've been making some money selling dumplings."

Lin Zhengtao also looked a little solemn. "But when they talked about finding a wife for Lin Song, I couldn't help but think of Han Mao and Han Bin. Han Mao is twelve years old now, and in three years he will be fifteen, and it's time for him to get married."

Qiu Wenqin had her own plans in mind. She said, "So hurry up and build a house and buy a few acres of land. If Han Mao is willing to go home and farm, then he can go home and farm."

"If I marry a wife, the girl may not necessarily be willing to work on the ship with me."
