Chapter 382 Complete Text

"Since you don't want to find another matchmaker, then tell Lian Yue as soon as possible. Let him find a matchmaker. You can't let the girl come to your house to propose marriage."

Unless he wants to be a son-in-law.

Song Wenhui dried her daughter's hair carefully and gave her some instructions before falling into a deep sleep.

Yin Ning tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.

How should I let her go to Lian Yue and explain things clearly?

Could it be that you could go to my house and say, Lian Yue, find a matchmaker to propose marriage, and my parents have agreed?

No, no, no, absolutely not, she couldn't speak.

How do I poke this layer of window paper?

How about asking my cousin tomorrow?

That girl is always smart, she must have a good idea.

Yin Ning took a short nap just before dawn, but was woken up again when her family got up.

Seeing that it was getting light, she simply got up, packed her things and went out to look for her cousin.

Jiang Wan was brushing her teeth when she saw her cousin come in with a sad face and said something that shocked her for a whole year.

What!

My cousin and Lian Yue have been exchanging gifts for so long?!

We've been dating for so long and we still haven't confirmed our relationship?!

My aunt is already forcing me to get married!

Tsk tsk tsk…

With a gulp, Jiang Wan, who was so engrossed in listening, accidentally swallowed all the foam in his mouth into his stomach.

Yin Ning: “…”

Jiang Wan reacted quickly by spitting out the foam a few times, then rinsed a few mouthfuls of clean water and brushed her teeth.

"Cousin, basically, you want to break the window paper now, but you are a little shy and dare not say it. So you come to me for help, right?"

Yin Ning's face suddenly turned red.

She couldn't help but hit her cousin twice.

"Keep your voice down!"

Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows to show that she was right.

It's really not easy for these two people.

We fell in love so long ago, but till now we are still going in circles without any progress.

It seems like Jiang *Hongniang* Wan has to take action for once.

After breakfast, Jiang Wan went out to look for Lian Yue. On the way, she met Lian Yue walking out in new clothes, holding a gift in his hand.

A package of cake and a bottle of wine.

This gift is not important, who should I give it to?

"Brother Lian Yue, where are you going?"

Seeing Jiang Wan, Lian Yue shyly retracted his gift and smiled a bit foolishly.

"I, I'll go find a matchmaker."

Jiang Wan was shocked. What happened?

Brother Lian Yue figured it out himself?

"Xiao Wan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Jiang Wan shook her head.

Since you are going to find a matchmaker, there is no need for her to come on stage.

"Brother Lian Yue, why did you suddenly think of proposing marriage? You two have been dithering for the past few years. I thought it would take another two years."

Lian Yue's expression froze.

In fact, now is not a good time to propose marriage, but he has to go.

"I had originally wanted to work hard and propose marriage after I had made some gains on the island in the second half of the year. But this unexpected thing happened."

Lian Yue had no choice but to explain the reason.

Good fellow.

Even under the strict surveillance of his aunt, the little cousin was able to send messages to remind his brother Feng.

So when Lian Yue came back, he knew that some things could not be kept secret anymore, so he had to propose marriage right away, right?

Before, if the parents didn’t know, it was okay to remain vague, but now that parents know about it, it would be irresponsible if I didn’t make a statement.

That's why I hurried to find a matchmaker early in the morning.

"Okay, then go find a matchmaker."

Jiang Wan put her hands behind her back and staggered to tell her cousin the news.

After all, this was a big deal, so she didn't hide it from her uncle and aunt.

"What?! He went to find a matchmaker?! No, I don't agree!"

Yin Huaishan also wanted to invite the boy from the Xie family home today so that his daughter could meet him.

What if my daughter falls in love with the boy from the Xie family again?

"Why don't you agree? Didn't we agree on this before?"

Song Wenhui looked confused.

"We agreed before that our daughter would get engaged soon, but we didn't say it was to be with Lian Yue. There are many talented people in this city, and there are also good ones in our village, so why don't we pick one first? Why do we have to settle it now?"

When Yin Huaishan saw the look in his wife and daughter's eyes, he knew that they definitely did not approve of him, so he placed his hope on his niece.

"Xiao Wan, don't you agree? Your cousin's condition is so good that you can't find anyone even if you search for her in ten or eight villages. How can you rush into getting engaged? By the way, you have met Xie Shuhang before, right? That guy is not bad, I think you can meet him."

When Jiang Wan heard this, his face turned dark.

Xie Shuhang is paired with his cousin?

Is he worthy? ?

My uncle's eyes were probably covered with eye boogers.

Jiang Wan originally didn't want to talk about other people's misfortunes behind their backs, but now she has to.

Upon hearing that Xie Shuhang was having an affair with a woman in Yongzhou, Yin Huaishan's face turned green and red.

Jiang Wan was afraid that her uncle would suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage.

Yin Huaishan was terrified. If he really told his daughter about such a son-in-law, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

His daughter will also resent him for the rest of her life.

After much thought, Lian Yue is still more reliable.

At least this kid was born and raised in the village, so I know his roots and his character.

Yin Huaishan felt much better after he figured it out. Although he did not agree outright for the sake of face, he did not object when his wife talked about marriage again.

When the matchmaker came to my house in the afternoon, I thought I would be given a difficult time.

After all, this marriage, to put it bluntly, is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

She didn't have much hope. She just wanted to go through the process and get the money for the tea.

I never thought that this marriage would happen! !

Although Master Yin's face was gloomy, he agreed to the marriage. Lian Yue was so happy that he went back and hugged his brother and kissed him fiercely.

This was the first time he was so emotional, and even Feng couldn't break free.

There is nothing to love in life...

Fortunately, Lian soon calmed down after going crazy. He sorted out the money in the house and currently had 1,400 taels of silver.

This is the money he earned from renting the island to grow oysters.

He left 300 taels for his younger brother. Of the rest, the bulk of it was used as a betrothal gift, and the rest was used for the wedding banquet.

Fortunately, his house had been renovated and the furniture was new. Otherwise, he would have to do some renovations.

"By the way, Xiaofeng, when your sister-in-law comes home, remember to be more diligent. You know how to do laundry and cooking. I'll do it when I'm at home, and you'll do it when I'm not."

Anyway, I can’t let my wife do it.

Lian Feng nodded nonchalantly.

Anyway, he is the one doing it now, so it won’t make any difference in the future.

"Wait, I can cook and clean the house. But it's not appropriate for me to wash my sister-in-law's clothes, right?"

Lian Yue nodded in agreement.

"Yes, you can't. You wash your own clothes."

After explaining the situation, Lian Yue returned to the house.

He originally wanted to buy two maids to take care of Aning, but the maids refused to do so after knowing the situation.

He said he didn't want outsiders at home.

Well, he couldn't refuse this reason.

Who wants to have a few strangers in the house? It feels weird.

If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. I'll just work with my brother in the future. Anyway, I can't let my young wife live worse than at home.

Lian Yue began to prepare for the wedding.

Soon, the whole village knew that he was going to marry Master Yin's daughter, and there was an endless stream of people coming to help.

The Yin family was also crowded with visitors.

After all, you are not a teacher in vain.

After teaching for several years, students came one after another. They and their parents wanted to take advantage of the happy event to get close to Master Yin.

This lively atmosphere spread throughout the village and could even be felt in the huts at the foot of the mountain.

"What happened in the village?"

In the simple shed, a slovenly man with a broken leg heard the noise.

"It's a big event. Your former brother-in-law has a happy event in his family."

Qian Yingying struggled to pry open an oyster, but her eyes had long lost their spirit. She just kept repeating the movements in her hands.

This was the only job she could do to earn money in the village.

Unfortunately, there is a bottomless pit at home. I have to take medicine every day, and no matter how much money I have, I can’t keep it.

"Brother-in-law...his family, Yin Ning is getting married, right?"

Jiang Cheng felt sour and bitter in his heart.

If he had not divorced Yin Huaixi back then, he could have lived a good life with her even if he was exiled now.

No, if he had not divorced Yin Huaixi, he would not have married the third lady of the Marquis's Mansion, and he would not have been involved in treason.

How can I be exiled?

He is still a high-ranking official. Although his rank is not high, he has no worries about food and clothing.

The more Jiang Cheng thought about it, the more upset he felt, and he couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Qian Yingying gave him a disgusted look, turned her back to the shed, and didn't even bother to coax him.

In the shed not far next door.

A little girl heard the crying and couldn't help asking her mother, "Mom, why does the legless uncle always cry?"

The woman glanced outside, her eyes full of contempt.

"He did a lot of bad things and was punished by God. He will have a lot of tears in the future."

Her husband had said it all when he came down the mountain a month ago, that Jiang Cheng wanted to take the cart that her husband had gotten with great difficulty, and he had evil intentions to harm others. As a result, he used too much force and fell off the cliff, breaking both his legs.

You deserve it!

God is still fair.

Look at the wife Jiang Cheng divorced earlier. She is now a loving couple and a famous doctor. Her daughter has become a county magistrate and has a lucrative business.

As for Jiang Cheng, he was hated by everyone. When his mother died and there was no one left to control Qian Yingying, that would probably be his death.

After working hard for half a lifetime, in the end all you have is a roll of torn straw mat.

No wonder he was crying.

The woman felt good listening to the crying.

"Ah Yu, pour water on these oysters and wash them."

The money from the oyster sales this time was enough for her family to build a house. The village chief said that if you build a house, you will be a real villager and your children can go to school.

I heard that the village is the only girls' school in the entire Lizhou Island. Master Yin's daughter and the county lord will go there to give lectures...

It’s exciting just thinking about it.

Compared with such a big event, the Jiang family crying nearby is nothing.

The woman regained her composure and pried up the oysters even harder.

"Ah Yu, you must study hard when you go to school. If you study well, you can work for the county lord. I heard that some people can earn more than ten taels a month!"

When Ah Yu heard the price of a dozen taels, his eyes lit up.

She knew that a pound of meat only cost a few coins, and a dozen ounces could buy a lot of meat.

"Mother, if I study well, can I become a county lord?"

"Silly boy, it's not that easy to become a county lord."

"I can do it!"

Little A Yu has a determined look in his eyes. Even at such a young age, he already has a goal to strive for.

To be continued…
