The next morning, Old Mrs. Xia personally cleaned up for her granddaughter.
Xia Zhiliao knew that her grandmother meant well, but when she looked at her face in the bronze mirror, she was really worried.
[Grandma, don’t you think my face looks like a monkey’s butt? ]
[Grandma, don’t you think my face looks like someone has been dead for three days? ]
[Grandma, do you think a child of my age needs to have his eyebrows and eyes painted? ]
[You said, is there a possibility that my face is naturally good, and I can be as beautiful as the moon and flowers without makeup, and I am the best among children? ]
Old Lady Xia listened to her granddaughter's mumbling and thought that this girl was more talkative than herself. She looked at her for a while and said, "Well, yes, my cicadas are beautiful. Just like grandma!"
Xia Zhiliao tilted his head and glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, with a wry smile on his face.
[Grandma, I don’t deny that you were a beauty when you were young, but do you really think I’m pretty now?]
“It looks good. It looks really good.”
Xia Zhiliao was about to cry. Why did the person in the mirror look so much like a paper-made figurine?
While Old Lady Xia wasn't paying attention, Xia Zhiliao quickly recovered himself, and this time he looked better.
[You know what, I'm really handsome! ]
In fact, all the members of the Xia family are good-looking, which is probably due to Old Mrs. Xia.
When Xia Zhiliao saw his third uncle wearing new clothes, he couldn't help but sigh that his third uncle had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a dignified demeanor, and a muscular body. He was really the material for a general.
"Not bad, the second son's cooking skills are impeccable." Old Mrs. Xia was very satisfied with her son.
Xia Chenshi was a little modest, "It's just that we were too rushed, so some parts are not as good as they could be."
"Sister-in-law, this is already very good. I have never worn such beautiful clothes in my life." Xia Jinyu said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xia Chen shook her head. Xia Jinjun beside her smiled and patted her brother's shoulder. "Just remember your second sister-in-law's hard work. She is busy making clothes for you during the day and busy making money at night. You must not forget her in the future."
Xia Jinheng nodded, "Second brother is right."
"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, when I ask for your hand in marriage, please make me one like this."
Xia Chen felt that this was a sign of everyone's approval of her, so she agreed with a smile.
"And Jinxiu, when she gets married, I'm afraid the wedding dress will have to be brought by my second sister-in-law."
Xia Jinxiu snorted, "Second sister-in-law, I don't dislike your cooking skills. Maybe the person I marry will take care of all these!"
"Just you, come on. You keep saying that you married a great man, but you don't know how great a man you married is?" Xia Jinheng loved his sister, but he deliberately quarreled with her.
The Xia family has become accustomed to this. Xia Jinqing doesn't talk much, but he laughs along.
"I won't tell you. Anyway, it's someone you dare not think about." Xia Jinxiu glanced at Xia Zhiliao, "Zhiliao, do you think my aunt will be able to marry someone very, very powerful in the future?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded. Is there any need to say more?
However, looking at the lively little aunt in front of him, does Xia Zhiliao really want to go into the harem where people are eaten without leaving any bones and engage in intrigue with those people?
She couldn't bear to do it.
We had breakfast and set off early in the morning. We arrived at Cheng's house at just the right time, neither too early nor too late.
It is impossible to arrange a marriage without a matchmaker, so Old Lady Xia found Aunt Chunhua, the sister of Mrs. Cheng from the same village, and naturally gave her some benefits.
She was not happy about it at first, but seeing that her sister was willing and considering her niece's situation, the Xia family's decision to let their eldest daughter-in-law remarry was indeed heartwarming, especially for women, who felt that although Old Lady Xia was a bit harsh on weekdays, she was really caring.
Cheng Han hid in the house and did not go out, but she could hear the noise coming from next door.
Mrs. Cheng and Old Man Cheng were extremely pleased to see Xia Jinyu. They knew the situation of the Xia family. Life was hard, but no family was rich in the countryside, and they only had one daughter, so they could help with some of the expenses.
Seeing their future son-in-law, who was strong and capable of work, and also looked good, they were naturally happy.
The Cheng family is an honest and kind family. Since they are discussing the marriage, they don't want to hide it or do anything immoral. Otherwise, even if their daughter gets married, her life will not be easy in the future.
Cheng Wang held Old Lady Xia's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I am 100% satisfied with Jinyu, but..."
Old Mrs. Xia's heart sank, but her expression did not change at all.
"Girl, if you have any other requests, just tell me."
"No!" Mrs. Cheng smiled and shook her head. "I told you before that my daughter Han'er is a little weak and needs to take medicine occasionally. But don't worry, our family will pay for her medicine."
Old Mrs. Xia kept smiling, but she was thinking something in her mind.
Could it be that this girl has some serious illness?
Just at this moment, a little girl's faint voice came from the next room. It was not very loud and one had to listen hard to hear it.
[Ah, this is what my future Third Aunt looks like, and she even gave me candy! ]
[Future Third Aunt has a gentle smile and doesn't seem to have any serious illness. I took a look and she looks fine. She's just a little weak, it's nothing serious.]
Xia Zhiliao shook her head, feeling embarrassed to accept the candy, and she was not a girl who liked candy at heart.
"It's okay, take it. You are a cicada, right?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded and secretly ran over to take a look. Even though he was caught, the other party was not angry and was even polite to him. It was exactly the same as in the novel.
Elsewhere, the Xia family listened to Xia Zhiliao's words and were very satisfied with this girl whom they had not met yet.
Old Lady Xia was a talkative woman. "Look at what you said, sister. People who eat grains and cereals will get sick. Aren't girls raised to be weak and delicate? It takes a man to carry two sacks at once!"
She patted her son's shoulder and said, "We married a daughter-in-law, not a laborer. It's not a big deal if you're not in good health. We can slowly get better."
Old Man Cheng almost burst into tears when he heard this. How could he have such good in-laws? Even Chunhua looked at Old Lady Xia with admiration. You know, when they were young, they had a fight over a piece of wild vegetables and both of them had scratches on their faces.
Mrs. Cheng Wang also smiled from ear to ear, "Sister-in-law, with your words, we feel relieved to leave my daughter to your family."
Old Mrs. Xia also laughed, "What are your requirements? Although our family is not well off, but..."
"Don't..." Father Cheng waved his hand, "We don't want anything but our daughter. From now on, everything in our family belongs to our daughter. We are looking for someone who is reliable and good to our daughter. Sister-in-law, it's not easy for you to raise several children by yourself."
Old Mrs. Xia didn't expect the Cheng family to be such a family. She was so happy that she wanted to jump for joy. Not asking for a betrothal gift meant that she could save some money for her granddaughter's medical treatment.
But she couldn't say anything even if her daughter-in-law had a minor illness.
Xia Zhiliao listened to the noise coming from next door and knew that the matter was settled, but his third uncle and aunt had not met yet?
She has to think of a way!
