"What, Shen Liang?"
The villagers were greatly shocked. Some people had guessed it was Shen Liang, after all, Shen Liang was good-looking and humble. If it were to be said that Shen Liang could be favored by a young lady from a wealthy family, Shen Liang would have a good chance. However, Shen Liang almost never mingled with the young men in the village, so very few people guessed it was him.
Now that it's been revealed that it's Shen Liang, most people are quite surprised.
Everyone knows the Shen family made money doing business in town, but no one expected they'd even managed to get involved with a wealthy family. They're really something else.
The Shen family kept it a secret from the villagers, remaining tight-lipped and very composed.
“It’s Shen Liang. Who else in your village is worthy of him besides Shen Liang?” Shi Murou glanced disdainfully at the other young men.
They were either not good-looking or rude, and could not compare to Shen Liang at all. Thinking about it this way, she felt that she had a discerning eye and had chosen Shen Liang from this small mountain village.
The villagers were abuzz with discussion, and many turned their attention to the Shen family.
"Oh my, your Shen family is so lucky to have married a rich young lady."
"This is a blessing, and also a skill." Some people admire him.
"Are you keeping quiet because you're afraid the villagers will try to take it from you?" someone joked.
Some people were laughing: "It seems that Shen Liang is going to become a live-in son-in-law of a wealthy family."
The Shen family was completely stunned. They never expected that the person who came to the village to distribute money was the very rich young lady Shen Liang had mentioned who was devoted to him and would marry no one but him. Her family had members who had served as officials in the prefecture and were now retired and living in a wealthy family.
They had never met Shi Murou, but they also never doubted Shen Liang's words.
Shen Liang confidently assured everyone that there was a good chance of a marriage with that rich young lady. He asked the Shen family to keep the Qiao family in check until both families had finalized the engagement, at which point the Qiao family's engagement would be called off.
Of course, even if there is a refund, it won't be a full refund.
This rich young lady has arrived. Could it be that her family has made up their minds and is about to come to discuss the marriage with the Shen family?
Otherwise, it is absolutely unacceptable to do this.
Thinking about it this way, the Shen family members became excited one by one.
Looking at Shi Murou, she wasn't exactly a pretty girl. Although she wore makeup, she couldn't compare to many of the plain-looking girls in the village, and she was also a bit chubby.
But none of that matters. What does appearance matter when it comes to family background?
The men and women of the Shen family quickly tidied their disheveled clothes and messy hair.
Old Mrs. Shen took a step forward: "This young lady must be the Shi family's daughter?"
"Yes, it's me. Who are you?"
Seeing that it was an old woman with half of her hair turned gray, Shi Murou's attitude was not so arrogant.
"I am Shen Liang's grandmother. Oh dear, Miss Shi didn't even say a word before coming to the village. Please come and sit at our Shen family's house," Old Mrs. Shen said warmly.
Other members of the Shen family also extended warm invitations.
Upon hearing this, Shi Murou took a good look at Old Lady Shen and the Shen family members behind her.
The clothes he was wearing were made of good quality, and he looked much more presentable than the people in other villages.
She had never lacked food or drink since childhood, and she knew that Shen Liang was from the village. She didn't want his family to be rich, but compared to being poor and stingy with a worried look, having some family wealth would naturally give her a much better impression.
However, she cannot go to the Shen family yet; there is one most important thing she hasn't done.
