Chapter 348 Good Son-in-law

Old Man He did not accept Lian Jinshan's money because he could not make the change.

An egg cost two cents. If the boy took out one or two ounces of silver and wanted change, he had to ask his daughter to take out the money jar and count it.

Why bother?

But he could still afford to feed her for two or three days.

It's a good opportunity for him to observe Lian Jinshan carefully over the next few days.

Although Lian Jinshan didn't know that Uncle He was observing him, he instinctively wanted to perform well in front of A Cui's parents.

A Cui is a filial girl. If she treats Uncle He and his wife well, not only will Uncle He and his wife have a good impression of her, but A Cui will also be happy.

This is indeed the case.

After observing for a day, Mr. and Mrs. He were already somewhat satisfied.

Regardless of anything else, as long as the child is willing to change, that's a good thing.

The two families have lived next to each other for many years, and they have watched Lian Jinshan grow up. Lian Jinshan was lazy before, but his character was not bad.

No matter how hungry I was, I never did anything sneaky.

Either you endure hunger or force yourself to go out and catch the sea. The couple has encountered this many times. The little face is so pale that it is scary.

It is amazing that he has grown up to where he is now without any problems.

In the evening, the wind outside was getting stronger and stronger. After dinner, the few people had nothing to do, so they all went back to the house to sleep.

Tonight A Cui is in the same room with her mother, while Lian Jinshan is with Old Man He.

Although the bedroom of Mr. He and his wife is simple, the bed is very comfortable.

"Uncle He, your bed is so comfortable to sleep on."

It's not as irritating as the ones from his shop, nor is it overly soft. It doesn't smell like moldy dry grass soaked in water, but rather has a refreshing fragrance.

When it comes to this, Mr. He becomes excited.

"This bed was made by my Cui'er for me and her mother with great care. How could it not be comfortable?"

Old Man He also lay down on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Doctor Yin. The various kinds of hay on the bed were changed by Cui'er under her guidance. There are four or five kinds of useful hay in total. I heard that sleeping on them for a long time can calm the mind and relieve the qi."

Lian Jinshan suddenly realized that it was a medicinal herb. No wonder it didn't smell like ordinary dried grass.

"Doctor Yin is quite amazing, and her daughter is amazing too."

"Of course not. What girl can run a workshop on her own at such a young age? "

Although Old Man He was jealous, the best woman in his heart was still his own daughter.

Just as I was thinking about it, the person next to me muttered something.

"I think A Cui is not bad either..."

Lian Jinshan spoke very quietly, but since they were close to each other, Old Man He still heard what he said.

Oh!

This boy seems to have some feelings for A Cui.

"You have good taste, my dear. Cui'er is really good. There are few people in the whole village who are more diligent than her."

This is a bit exaggerated. After all, the girls in the village start working from a young age and very few of them are lazy.

Lian Jinshan certainly would not spoil the show, and he followed Mr. He's words and praised Ah Cui harshly.

The praise made Old Man He feel very happy, and his eyes softened a lot when he looked at Lian Jinshan.

"Jinshan, you speak so highly of my Cui'er, do you want to marry her?"

"Yes……"

Lian Jinshan was caught off guard and spoke subconsciously. As a result, he turned around and saw Uncle He turned over and sat up.

"You want to marry Tweety?"

The gentle voice had turned cold and hard. Even though no faces could be seen in the room, Jinshan could still imagine Uncle He's expression.

I definitely want to eat myself alive.

Lian Jinshan was in a bad mood. In his plan, he wanted to wait until the house was built before inviting a matchmaker to come.

In this way, I would have savings, a house, and a decent matchmaker to come to my house, and I would be able to let the old couple see my sincerity.

But now, his house has collapsed, and even food needs charity from the He family. Proposing to marry Ah Cui at this time is simply asking for a fight.

Lian Jinshan was prepared to be beaten, but Uncle He didn't make a move for a long time.

So he tried to test her: "Uncle He, I know it's very presumptuous to talk about this now. In fact, I want to wait until the house is built before asking a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. Ah Cui is a good girl, and I really want to marry her."

Old Man He snorted.

Lian Jinshan suddenly realized something and thought there was a way, so he immediately said, "Uncle He, I know that what Ah Cui misses most is you two. Don't worry, if I am lucky enough to marry Ah Cui, we will be a family in the future. Let's just open a door in the courtyard wall and live together as a family."

This sounded nice, and Old Man He was very moved.

"This way, Ah Cui is as good as not leaving home. She can still see you two every day. You can also monitor me nearby to see whether I am treating Ah Cui well or not."

The balance in Mr. He's heart kept tilting. It was not his fault that he was not firm in his stance, but it was just that the boy's words were too nice to hear.

To be honest, he would feel much more at ease if Cui'er married the girl next door.

Lian Jinshan only had a few distant relatives left in his family, and they hardly interacted with each other. After Cui'er got married, she wouldn't have to serve her parents-in-law or take care of a bunch of younger brothers and sisters.

And since we're right next door, I can hear every cough and don't have to worry about my daughter getting bullied.

The more Old Man He thought about it, the more he felt that Lian Jinshan was an excellent candidate for son-in-law.

"That's a nice thing to say."

Lian Jinshan immediately expressed his willingness to give the remaining fifteen taels of silver after renovating the house to A Cui as a betrothal gift.

Fifteen taels of silver is definitely a large sum of money in the village.

Mr. He had already agreed in his heart, because there was really no such suitable son-in-law around.

As for if he gets lazy again in the future...

hehe……

In the past, they were not related to each other, so it was difficult for him to discipline him. If he is still lazy after becoming his son-in-law, don't blame him for being rude.

"It's useless for me to agree to this. Cui'er has her own ideas. She has to agree first."

Having said that, both grandfathers knew what was going on.

Both of them slept soundly that night.

On the other side, the mother and daughter did not sleep all night.

The mother and daughter had a small quarrel because of their different opinions about Lian Jinshan. In the end, they were both so angry that they couldn't fall asleep.

Fortunately, Mr. He is not a man who likes to hide things. When something important happened in his mind, he told his wife immediately.

Song was somewhat satisfied with Lian Jinshan. The quarrel last night was because her daughter was stubborn and refused to give in, saying that she had no interest in Lian Jinshan.

It's pointless for you to go to other people's places and offer them food, drinks and even ferry people across the border.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. She knows everything about her daughter.

So when I heard the old man's secret words, I felt relieved. When I turned around and looked at Lian Jinshan, I felt more like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

Ah Cui looked at her father and then at her mother, and always felt that there was something strange about them today.

Um……

Even Jinshan was confused. Why was he blushing?
