Early the next morning, Old Mrs. Lin brought Yang Hua to Lin Wanwan's house.

She grinned and made hot tea for the two of them, then asked, "Aunt Lin and sister-in-law, are you here for Hu Niu's matter?"

Old Mrs. Lin smiled embarrassedly.

"Yes, after we came back yesterday, we gave Hu Niu's parents a lesson, and then we found out what they were up to. Don't worry, girl Wan, we have already rejected the Jia family and will not let them succeed!"

As soon as they arrived, Lin Wanwan understood what had happened, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, I believe Hu Niu, even if she really marries him, she won't do that kind of thing. But the young master of the Jia family is not a good man, there are too many beautiful women in his family, he won't treat Hu Niu well. And I have met the brother-in-law of the Feng family a few times, he has a good family background, he is a down-to-earth person, he is considerate and not a playboy, so I agreed and took the matchmaker to propose marriage."

"Mom, listen, if even Wan Yatou praises someone, he must be good! Wan Yatou, you have to help talk it over!"

"Well, yesterday I felt that the Jia family was unreliable, so I didn't ask the matchmakers to go back and say anything. I just asked them to go back and tell them that you thought it was a good idea and wanted to think about it for two days, in case you changed your mind again!"

When Old Lady Lin heard this, she burst into laughter and couldn't help but praise: "Hahaha! Hua'er, see! This girl is like a smart person tonight! She must have guessed that we were here today!"

"That's right. Thanks to Wanwan, our Hu Niu has improved a lot now!"

"Wan girl, I, the old woman, shamelessly came to you today because of Hu Niu's marriage. Please help her tell them that our Lin family agrees!"

"Hahaha! I'm just waiting for your words, Auntie! Then just wait for my good news!"

After Lin Wanwan sent them away, she rushed to the county to find a matchmaker and asked them to bring gifts to propose marriage again.

This time it went very smoothly. Everyone talked and laughed for a long time. Before leaving, the matchmakers asked for Hu Niu's birth date and horoscope. After they matched the horoscopes, they went to propose marriage.

When Manager Feng and Mrs. Feng found out about this, they were very happy and immediately sent someone to match their horoscopes. The result was a very auspicious one. Mrs. Feng was so delighted that she added several pages to the betrothal gifts and was even happier than when her own son was getting married.

The Wang family's ancestors used to be landlords, and later opened a grain store in the county town. However, Wang Zhong was not interested in doing business, but liked cooking! He was an old man, and was loved at home since he was a child. Mr. Wang wanted him to play for two years, and it would not be too late to take over the business after he got married and his temperament stabilized.

Wang Zhong has two older sisters who married and lived far away. As his parents were old, it was Mrs. Feng who took care of him on weekdays. Wang Zhong was good at dealing with people and had a good personality. Shopkeeper Feng liked him very much. He didn't even mind that his cooking was not good. He just let him learn slowly. Wang Zhong also knew this and worked very hard on weekdays.

Since he was a child, he didn't like pretentious girls. Instead, he liked girls like Hu Niu who were bold, down-to-earth and cute. So when he saw Hu Niu teaching him how to cook seriously, he somehow remembered it deeply in his heart and couldn't get rid of it.

After Lin Wanwan sent him back, he was worried every day, afraid of this and that, and couldn't eat or sleep well.

When he heard his sister tell him that the Lin family agreed to the marriage, he was so happy that he almost ran to Baiweiju. But when he thought that they couldn't meet now, he excitedly went to prepare gifts.

On the day of the proposal, the Wang family drove a horse-drawn carriage and brought the betrothal gifts to Linjia Village.

This is the second happy event in Linjia Village after the disaster this year. Many people came to watch and share in the joy.

The gifts from the Wang family were among the most generous in the county, with sixty-four taels of silver, gold and silver jewelry, a pair of wild geese, and twenty-four loads of betrothal gifts, filling the entire yard. Everything they brought was carefully selected.

When Mrs. Lin saw how much the Wang family valued Huniu, she smiled so much that her eyes were nowhere to be seen, and she was exceptionally amiable.

Lin Youmao saw that his grandson-in-law was handsome, gentle and polite, and was very satisfied with the marriage.

Mr. Wang and his wife were very satisfied with their future daughter-in-law. She was also a good cook, which was just what their son liked and could also make him concentrate on his studies.

Everyone was talking happily. The Wang family was not arrogant and their family ran a farm. As they talked, the topic turned to the fields. They were surprised to hear that the crops in the Lin family village were growing well and could not help but discuss it. They wanted to go to the fields to take a look but were stopped by Wang Zhong.

"Dad, we will have plenty of opportunities in the future. We are here to propose marriage today!"

Madam Feng covered her mouth and chuckled, "Dad, look at Zhong'er, he's so anxious! He wants to marry his wife right away!"

"Hahaha! Please forgive me, father-in-law! This is the first time for a young boy like me, and I got so anxious when I saw it!"

Madam Wang took out a piece of red paper from her sleeve and placed it on the table. "This is the auspicious date our family calculated. Mother-in-law, please pick a date!"

Old Mrs. Lin picked it up and looked at it with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and finally chose November 16th.

"Let's pick this day! The harvest is over and the weather isn't that cold. It's just right!"

The Wang family also thought it was a good idea, so they set the date.

Wang Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Hu Niu into the house to talk and ease his lovesickness.

Soon, the news that Hu Niu was about to marry into a wealthy family spread throughout the village. The girls who often played with Lin Wanwan when they were young were extremely jealous and blamed themselves for becoming distant from Lin Wanwan, otherwise they could have found a good family as well.

Lin Wanwan didn't care about all this. She was not a turtle in a wishing well. She would agree to help anyone who came to her for help. She had a lot of things to do, so how could she have the time to be a matchmaker?

Fu Junyi finally came back and brought Lin Wanwan some bad news. The sugarcane production this year was less than one-tenth of that in previous years. There was a shortage of brown sugar, so they had to suspend the production of white sugar.
