Once Liang Shuyan felt a little better, she started thinking about Jin Sanwang's marriage.
If Jin Sanwang and Ruyan were engaged, Liu Datong wouldn't have come up with such a strange idea. Even if the old lady of the Liu family wanted to go back, she wouldn't be worried about anything.
When Aunt Liu learned that Liu Shi had been pushed down by Liu Datong, she came over carrying two bowls of steamed cakes: "Oh dear, I say, Dashan's mother, don't be fooled by that brat Liu Datong. Ning Shi is perfectly fine at home. The old couple have discussed and decided to coax Ruyan back. They're planning to introduce Ruyan to a marriage. This is how they're planning Ruyan's dowry."
Afterwards, the old lady of the Liu family said, "How could this be? Datong is an honest man, how could he do such a thing?"
When Aunt Liu saw that the old lady of the Liu family did not believe her, she then told her about her niece from her own family living in the same village as Ning.
Liang Shuyan paused for a moment and said, "In that case, even if your in-laws go back now, your daughter-in-law won't accept you. Their main goal is to trick Ruyan into going back and getting married."
Upon hearing this, Jin Sanwang blushed and said, "Impossible! I absolutely cannot let Ruyan go back to jump into the fire pit."
Liang Shuyan fell into deep thought: "It seems that Ruyan and Sanwang's matter cannot be delayed. We must get these two children engaged first."
I wonder if this old lady from the Liu family will agree. She seems to care a lot about Erniu, but not so much about Sanwang.
Grandma Liu glanced at Sanwang and asked, "Sanwang, do you like our Ruyan?"
Sanwang nodded emphatically: "Yes, I like it."
"My dear in-law, I'd like to know if you're planning to separate your second child from your family?"
Liang Shuyan burst into laughter at her words: "Oh, so that's what you're worried about. Don't worry, I'm already too busy with the family business, why would I want to give the children away?"
That's absolutely true. Liang Shuyan's family business no longer allows her to divide the assets. Compared to outsiders, aren't family members more reliable?
"Then let's set a date for the children to get engaged. To be honest, seeing you and entrusting the children to you puts my mind at ease. As for my heartless son and daughter-in-law, I'll pretend I never raised them."
Liang Shuyan immediately agreed: "Okay, then let's do it on the tenth of next month. As for you, just stay at our house and relax!"
Grandma Liu was about to say something when she saw a group of little girls carrying baskets walking towards them. The leader was a young lady wearing a blue and white floral jacket with pigtails. She smiled and said, "Aunt Jin, these are some wild peppers we picked from the mountain. Do you think they're fresh?"
Needless to say, they've come to deliver wild peppers. The agreed price was two coins per pound. Liang Shuyan walked over and noticed that the wild peppers were indeed very large and neatly arranged.
"So much! Why didn't you wait until it was dried before bringing it over? It's worth five coins a pound when it's dried!"
The girl, Xiaohong, was the granddaughter of Aunt Pang. She said somewhat shyly, "My grandma said that our yard is too small to have a place to dry clothes!"
A little girl next to me chuckled: "Xiao Hong, your grandma clearly said that drying it will make it less heavy and won't fetch a good price!"
Xiao Hong blushed and remained silent after being exposed!
She knew exactly what kind of person the plump aunt was!
She patted Xiaohong's head and said, "Dry or wet, it's the same. Although the wet ones are a bit heavier, they're cheaper. The dried ones are a bit lighter, but the price is different. Come on, Auntie will pay for you!"
Liang Shuyan was mainly concerned about the hassle of drying the clothes, but she didn't expect Aunt Pang to say such things to the child!
Sanwang found a scale and weighed the peppers for the children. Liang Shuyan held a money bag and handed out money to each child one by one.
"Little Red's, five catties, ten coins!"
"Xiaxia's, two jin, four coins!"
Considering that drying the wild peppers was a hassle, Liang Shuyan activated the system. The system told her that the fresh wild peppers that had just arrived did not need to be dried; they could be directly added to the steamer and heated at high temperature, making them even fresher!
So she changed the formation: "From now on, we'll only buy freshly picked peppers, two coins a pound!"
Da Shan followed Mr. Su to the school. Sure enough, a lot of students were gathered at the school gate. When Da Shan walked over, they crowded around him in an orderly fashion.
Mr. Su cleared his throat: "Please don't be impatient, everyone. Dashan has arrived. If you want to hear him give a lecture, you can come in with me."
Da Shan looked worried: "Sir, with so many people, who should we let in?"
Mr. Su then patted his head: "That's right, look at my brain. The school is only so big, so we can only come in one by one."
Seeing the disappointment on the faces of some students, Dashan quickly intervened, saying, "I appreciate everyone's trust in me, but due to the limited conditions in our Daling Village, we cannot all attend school together. I hope you understand."
They entered the school in waves, one after another, in the order they arrived!
Jin Dashan walked into the school with a book in his hand, looking somewhat nervous and uneasy!
"Hello everyone, it is an honor to give you this lecture. First of all, I want to talk about the environment of our Daling Village. Because the people in our village fled here due to famine, their lives were basically not guaranteed. We didn't have enough money to build a school in a short time, so we had to temporarily live in this small house next to the pond."
Everyone listened quietly. Then, a student sitting at the back spoke up: "Didn't you say that the magistrate's son lives in your house? You can ask the magistrate to apply for funds to build a school. If the school is built, we'd all be willing to come here."
Jin Dashan knew about this matter; the county magistrate had already agreed, but there had been no result for a long time, and he believed that there must be some difficulties.
"This matter has already been reported to the county magistrate, and I believe good news will arrive soon. So today, let's learn some etiquette!"
"Etiquette plays a vital role in our lives. When we meet someone for the first time, if that person has no manners and speaks very rudely, would you have a good impression of that person?"
The crowd shook their heads and continued to listen quietly to Jin Dashan's lecture!
"Since everyone thinks this way, how should we act to be polite in daily life? What should we say when we see the teacher in school?"
A male student stood up: "Of course we should greet them. If we treat our teachers well, they will treat us well in return. At our prestigious school, teachers are required to receive gifts from their students. Otherwise, students are just wasting their time at the school."
"How can you say such things? Are you perhaps a student of a prestigious academy?"
