Chapter 1033: Yan Shi Knows the Truth
"Fifth brother's wife, have you heard that my parents-in-law want to find a wife for my second brother?"
Qiao Xuan nodded: "Yes, I listened to a few sentences, which is normal."
"Yes," Yan sighed, "My second brother is still so young. Although he has two children, his family is doing well now. There are many people willing to marry him. I heard from my mother-in-law that even a 15 or 16-year-old girl is willing to marry him. She is so proud!"
"Don't you think about whether that fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl can be a good stepmother to her grandchildren?"
Qiao Xuan understood immediately and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, do you have any good candidates?"
"Nothing can be hidden from my fifth brother's wife," Yan smiled shyly and said, "My cousin from my mother's side - my cousin, is now a widow at home. She is about the same age as my second brother, and she has a good temper and is down-to-earth. But she is unlucky. Her husband is an only son, and after he passed away, her husband's family asked her to adopt a child of about seven or eight years old from the same clan to inherit the family line."
"Fifth brother's wife, think about it, a seven or eight-year-old child knows everything, how can he be adopted? How can he not be close to his biological parents? Even if he is adopted, he is just raising a son for someone else! My cousin didn't agree, so she simply went back to her parents' home."
"Her parents and brother and sister-in-law are okay, but after her parents pass away, it's not good to rely on her brother and sister-in-law. It's not secure. My second brother is going to get married, so my mother wants to speak for him. What do you think, sister-in-law?"
Yan knew what was going on.
Although the first wife and the second wife have severed their relationship, if something really happens to the second wife, the first wife will not ignore it.
If the second wife marries a daughter-in-law who is easy to deal with, the first wife will definitely be satisfied.
So, she asked Qiao Xuan what she meant.
This fifth brother's wife is smart and has a plan in mind. If she says yes, then this matter will be easy to handle on her side of the family.
As for her father-in-law and mother-in-law? Yan had no intention of telling them first. Her father-in-law was fine, but her mother-in-law was angry and would definitely refuse anything she proposed.
However, the second brother is now working in his own workshop, and his father and brothers treat him well. If they find him a wife and let him meet her first, he will most likely agree.
As long as he nodded, there would be no problem with his parents-in-law.
Qiao Xuan naturally hoped that the second wife would marry someone reliable, otherwise who knows if something unexpected would happen?
If there is another person like Zhang, it will be hard to guard against.
"Is your cousin really a good person?"
Yan smiled and nodded: "Of course, I can guarantee that!"
Qiao Xuan also laughed.
That was true, her cousin was to be married into the family as a legitimate sister-in-law. If she was not a good person, Yan was not stupid, so how could she agree?
"I'll talk to my mother-in-law and tell you."
Yan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for the fifth brother's wife."
"Don't worry, just come back this evening!"
When Qiao Xuan told Fang about this, Fang also thought this was the best way. Yan must be more eager than anyone else for Shao Erlang to marry someone who is easy to get along with. Since she said so, there should be no problem.
After delivering the message to Yan, the eldest family set off for the provincial capital the next day.
The villagers were extremely envious. The eldest branch of the Shao family was really blessed with a successful family. The whole family became prosperous! Others would not dare to think about going to a place like the provincial capital once in their lifetime, but they could go there just by saying so.
Yan was afraid that Niu would tell Shao Erlang about the engagement, so she went back to her parents' home that same day to tell them.
