Old Mrs. Xia looked at her second son. Since the second son was a scholar among her five sons, she relied on this son the most. She always felt that whether she could live a good life in her later years depended on this son.
Xia Jinjun naturally also heard what his daughter said, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. However, it was related to his sister's happiness after all.
"Mother, the matchmaker's mouth is the best at deceiving people. How can it be good if she says it's good? We still need to ask carefully about this matter. Our Jinxiu is beautiful and it's not like she can't get married. We should choose carefully."
After hearing what her granddaughter said, Grandma Xia also felt that the little brat knew nothing, but she still kept it in her heart. She didn't expect her son to say the same thing. You see, her son is still capable. That's why they say that educated people are different.
Her son Jinjun is the only educated person in the village, but his wife is not quite good enough.
When her son becomes successful, he will divorce her. Let's just make do with this for now.
As they were talking, the stout matchmaker walked into the yard with a young and strong man, muttering about how wealthy the man's family was as they walked.
Xia Jinxiu in the room pretended to go to her second brother's room to get something. She walked through the yard with her head down, but she secretly glanced at the man's face. He was quite handsome. Coincidentally, the man also looked at her, and her face immediately blushed.
"Brother, are the shoes of my second sister-in-law in the room? I'll go get them."
It must be said that Xia Zhiliao felt that this aunt was quite scheming. She not only peeked at the man, but also acted like a virtuous and capable woman. It was a pity that the man was a liar.
In the original book, the Xia family agreed to it. They only realized they had been cheated when they saw the old man on the wedding day. They cried and made a fuss, and paid compensation to cancel the marriage. However, Xia Jinxiu's reputation was ruined, and it was not until Xia Jinjun passed high school and entered the capital that she was able to turn things around.
"You're really awake?" Xia Jinxiu glanced at Xia Zhiliao after entering the room, then turned around and rummaged through the cabinet, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xia Zhiliao shook her head and wanted to speak. She opened her mouth but was interrupted by Xia Jinxiu, "Alright, you can't speak before you get sick. How can you recover after this illness? As for you... wait until your aunt accepts the betrothal gift, I will ask your father to take you to see a doctor. It's a pity that such a pretty girl can't speak."
[My little aunt was in a hurry to get married, just to treat my illness? I am so touched! ]
Xia Jinxiu had her back to Xia Zhiliao and was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Then she turned around quickly and looked at Xia Zhiliao in surprise.
Only then did Xia Zhiliao see the face of the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country. Although she was dressed as a village girl and her clothes were patched, it had to be said that the little aunt was truly naturally beautiful and had a hint of charm that no man could resist.
[No wonder my aunt will be able to become a royal concubine in the future! She is definitely the most beautiful woman in the world! ]
Xia Jinxiu looked at the little girl and swallowed her saliva. Her niece did not say anything, so what did she hear?
Also, can she be a royal concubine?
Isn’t the imperial concubine the emperor’s woman?
She raised her hand and touched her face, looking very charming.
[Don't be like this, little aunt, it's too beautiful, I can't resist it. ]
This time, Xia Jinxiu was certain that she could hear the sounds of cicadas.
Before I could call anyone over, I heard Xia Jinjun's furious voice coming from next door.
"Asshole, your family is so wicked. My sister is only seventeen years old, how can she marry an old man? Go, let alone ten taels of silver, even if it's twenty taels of silver, we don't want it. Get out, liar, you are cheating people."
At this time, Xia Jinjun still had the integrity of a scholar. He would rather die in poverty than push his sister into the fire pit.
Xia Jinxiu didn't have time to think and hurried out, but she saw the man, covered in dust and dirt, running out desperately with the matchmaker, complaining as he ran about how he had let the matter slip out.
"Second brother, what's going on?"
Xia Jinxiu was not worried at all. After all, her niece just said that she could become a royal concubine.
Even if it's not true, with her pretty face, even if she can't be a rich man's wife, at least she can be a concubine.
"Jinxiu, don't be sad. I was careful and asked them a few more questions. It turns out that they didn't come to ask for marriage for the boy just now, but for his 70-year-old father. They are really evil-minded."
Old Lady Xia also doted on her little daughter. "Yes, Jinxiu, you are pretty and you won't have trouble finding a husband."
Both mother and daughter saw Xia Jinxiu's shy face blushing just now, and they thought that she had fallen in love with that bastard boy.
Xia Jinxiu smiled, "I'm not sad. Why should I be sad? With my face and my heart, how can I not get married?"
She thought of her niece's words and was delighted. "Mom, second brother, who knows, I can marry a high-ranking official in the future. You guys just wait and enjoy your life. When the time comes, I will find the best doctor in the world to check on our Zhi. He will definitely be able to cure her."
"By the way, I just seemed to hear cicadas talking. Did you hear them?"
Old Mrs. Xia and Xia Jinjun quickly shook their heads. One was afraid of being regarded as an old monster, and the other was afraid of her daughter being regarded as a monster, so neither dared to admit it.
Moreover, after what happened just now, they all felt strange. How could the girl Zhiliao predict the future?
It's very weird.
"You... really heard it?" Xia Jinjun asked tentatively.
Xia Jinxiu is very smart, but she is also very narrow-minded. "No, I may have heard it wrongly. You guys can't hear it, so how can I hear it? Right?"
The mother and son nodded in unison.
Xia Zhiliao was sitting on the kang in the room, wondering.
Things seem to be different from the plot of the novel. In other words, everything has changed since she traveled through time. Can it be changed?
"Who's talking? I just saw the matchmaker and her people running out of our house like they were being chased by dogs. Mom, what's going on?"
"Nothing!" Old Lady Xia glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law with a droopy face, "Eldest daughter-in-law, where have you been? Why haven't I seen you for so long?"
The woman rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, I am worried about my second son's family. I was thinking about whether I could scrape together some money by going back to my parents' house, but life is hard. My parents don't have any money either. I was even scolded for only taking advantage of my parents' house and not bringing anything back."
Old Mrs. Xia sighed, "I see. Thank you for your hard work. I will always remember your kindness!"
"Mom, we are a family and we should not have different opinions. I just love my children. The eldest passed away early and I didn't have any children. I treat these children as my own."
"Sister-in-law, if they dare to be unfilial to you in the future, I will beat them to death."
[Bah! How dare you say that? What do you mean by taking money? I think she went back to her parents' home to meet her lover! Who was that lover? Hiss... her cousin! That's right, that cousin! The one who always comes to our house to see my cousin!]
Xia Zhang was feeling proud, but she saw the three people in front of her suddenly change their expressions. She felt a little panicked because she had done something wrong. "What...what happened?"
