Aunt Zhang had heard about Qingyu. A few days ago, Qingyu married a carpenter from the next village, but after only a month of marriage, she caused chaos in the family and eventually ran off with a peddler...
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang looked at Yun Xiao with gratitude.
Hearing Aunt Zhang's words, Yun Xiaoren also thought of the time when the two aunts and nieces came to propose marriage. His eyes flickered involuntarily. After all, it was that time that he first mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to Han Yiyi...
As soon as Aunt Zhang finished speaking, Han Yiyi, without waiting for Yun Xiao to speak, quickly spoke up.
“Okay, Auntie, I’ll go with you…” she said, then turned to look at Yun Xiao beside her.
"Young Master Yun, you shouldn't go. Just stay home and clean these jars. When I get back, I can make pickled peppers..."
Han Yiyi thought that if Yun Xiao went again and the girl took a liking to him, causing Da Niu to suffer another blow, he might never want to go on blind dates again for the rest of his life.
In fact, quite a few families from Shangzhushan Village have come to look at potential partners in the past few days. The reason is naturally that the news that their village has made a lot of money from the chili peppers they grow has spread. After all, the brides from Shangzhushan Village are from other villages, so the news spread very quickly.
Therefore, some people wanted to plant this kind of chili pepper as well, but when they learned that they could only plant it next year, they set their sights on the girls and boys of Zhushan Village.
They thought that if they married their daughters to Zhushan Village, or married girls from Zhushan Village, they might be among the families who would get rich next year.
Among them, Aunt Zhang's family is the most frequented by matchmakers, followed by Aunt Wang's family. Their two grandsons, who used to be ignored, have now become the darlings of everyone's eyes. Aunt Wang is so happy that she has gained two more wrinkles on her face these past few days.
Then there's the village chief's family. Lan Hua is already quite beautiful, and being the village chief's daughter, her doorstep is practically worn down by all the visitors.
When Yun Xiao heard Han Yiyi tell him to wash the jars at home and to wait for her to come back—words that only husbands and wives would say—the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed as he smiled up and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"Okay, okay, okay, you go ahead, I'll make sure to wash all the jars clean, and wait for you to come back..."
Han Yiyi looked at Yun Xiao, who was smiling so brightly, and wondered what had gotten into him. But she was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to leave with Aunt Zhang.
Today, Aunt Zhang's house is also a brick and tile house. Although it is not as big as Han Yi's house, it is unique in Zhushan Village.
In addition, Aunt Zhang is a hardworking woman. She built a chicken coop and a duck coop in the yard, raising a dozen or so chickens and ducks. She also kept more than ten rabbits in the corner. It's clear that she's living a very prosperous life.
Therefore, as soon as the woman was led into the courtyard, her eyes kept looking around, and a hint of greed flashed in her eyes. Then she tugged hard at the girl behind her, as if whispering something in her ear. When she saw Han Yi looking over, she quickly gave Han Yi a fawning smile.
Upon seeing this, Han Yi frowned slightly, but when he saw the girl behind the woman, his frown deepened.
This girl was none other than the one Han Yiyi had seen with slightly red eyes on the roadside when she and Yun Xiao returned from town. At this moment, Han Yiyi seemed to understand why her eyes were red.
The girl was pulled by the woman to greet Han Yiyi and Aunt Zhang. When she saw Han Yiyi, her eyes were filled with panic, and she quickly lowered her head.
Just as the woman standing nearby was about to say that he was shy, the matchmaker interrupted her.
"Oh, look at this girl, she's even getting shy. But although she's a bit timid, she's good at all the chores around the house..." He finished speaking and couldn't help but glare at the woman.
When she first entered the courtyard, she saw the greed in the man's eyes as he looked at the chickens, ducks, and rabbits. She thought to herself, if it weren't for the one or two taels of silver, she wouldn't have acted as matchmaker.
The girl's name was Huang Zhaodi, and the woman was her mother. Originally, Zhaodi had a childhood sweetheart, the one that Han Yi and Yun Xiao had met on the roadside. The two grew up together, and their families had already tacitly agreed to their marriage.
But to everyone's surprise, a few days ago, when the man's family brought gifts to the Huang family to propose marriage, they were sternly rejected by Huang's mother. She said that their son was a toad trying to eat swan meat, and that their daughter was going to marry into a wealthy family to enjoy a life of luxury.
But everyone knows that Huang's mother wants to marry Zhao Di off to a wealthy man so that she can help her two younger brothers in the future.
When the man's family heard what Huang's mother said, they got angry and found another girl for the man. They even set a wedding date. The two were heartbroken, so they secretly met, which was the time when Han Yi and Yun Xiao saw it.
Aunt Zhang liked Zhao Di's personality. After all, compared to Qing Yu, Zhao Di's personality was more pleasing to a mother-in-law.
However, Aunt Zhang had seen the fleeting greed in her mother's eyes when she entered the room. She didn't want a greedy in-law; who knew what such an in-law might do in the future.
Aunt Zhang thought to herself, and decided to observe Zhao Di carefully to see what kind of person this girl really was.
If she is truly a good girl, then her mother's slight greed is not a big deal. At most, after she marries into the family, she should be advised to have less contact with her family.
Han Yi saw through Aunt Zhang's thoughts and prepared to tell her what he had seen on the roadside earlier.
But before Han Yi could even speak, another person rushed into Aunt Zhang's house.
When Huang's mother saw the person who came, her face changed, and when Zhao Di saw the person, her eyes instantly turned red.
The person who came was none other than Zhao Di's childhood sweetheart, Er Hu Zi.
Before anyone could react, Huang's mother was about to step forward to chase them away, but before she could get there, she heard Erhuzi shout at Zhaodi.
“Zhaodi, don’t marry someone else…”
When Aunt Zhang saw someone suddenly barge in, before she could even ask who it was, she heard the person shout. Seeing Zhao Di being held tightly by Huang's mother, she immediately understood and her face darkened.
Seeing that Aunt Zhang's expression had changed, Huang's mother hurriedly yelled at Erhuzi at the door.
"Where did this shameless bastard come from? What business is it of yours who my daughter Zhaodi marries? Get out of here right now..."
