Gu Qian: "Serving in the military outside the military."
"Being a soldier is good, isn't it? Are you married yet?" Matchmaker Zhang never forgot her old profession. "Would you like me to introduce you to someone? The village chief's daughter, and the Zhao family's daughter, and..."
"Matchmaker Zhang!" Qiu Yan interrupted Zhang before Gu Qian could speak. "If you want to find someone to act as matchmaker, you should inquire elsewhere and see which young man needs to be engaged."
This matchmaker dared to try and set up her boyfriend right in front of her; Qiu Yan wouldn't allow it.
"Yan Yan is absolutely right." Gu Qian felt a sweet warmth in his heart and looked at Qiu Yan with affection, making Zhang the matchmaker quite embarrassed.
Suddenly, she remembered.
The man standing next to Qiu Yan when I proposed to her on behalf of Zhao Zheng last time seemed to be him.
Furthermore, they also had a minor disagreement.
"Uh... Xiaoyan, your uncle is getting on in years..."
"Aunt Zhang, the wild boar meat from the Li family is unique. Would you like some?" Matchmaker Zhang was about to continue her rambling when Qiu Yan interrupted her directly.
Women are talkative, and Zhang the matchmaker is even more so.
If she keeps talking like that, how can they continue doing business?
“Uh…” Zhang the matchmaker then turned her attention to the meat, “Give me a pound of mutton.”
Not far away, Wang was also attracted by the meat stall and walked into the crowd.
Knowing the selling price, she said:
"Xiaoyan, give me five catties of pork and two catties of mutton."
Today, a matchmaker came to her door to propose marriage for her daughter, and she was very satisfied with the person who came.
She was just worried about not having anything good to offer her guests when she happened to run into Qiu Yan and Gu Qian selling meat at the village entrance, which solved her immediate problem.
Wang bought so much meat at once, drawing envy from those around her. They thought to themselves, "Has the village chief suddenly become rich?"
"Aunt Wang, please wait a moment." After another round of cooperation between Gu Qian and Qiu Xu, Wang Shi picked up the pork and mutton with satisfaction, said goodbye to Qiu Yan, and left.
The women who were waiting to ride in the oxcart, and some of whom had bought meat from the butcher's stall, all took the meat home.
When they returned, they finally saw Qiu Dayong, who had arrived late.
When Qiu Dayong saw Qiu Yan set up a meat stall at the village entrance with Qiu Xu and Gu Qian, he was stunned for a moment before stepping forward to chat, "Xiao Yan, A Xu, how much is this meat?"
However, after asking the question, he received no answer and felt embarrassed. He cursed inwardly, "So what if he has a little money? What's he so proud of?" Then, urged on by the women, he started driving the oxcart.
He had some money in his pocket, so he thought he could be lazy and didn't drive as fast, which is why he arrived so late.
On the country road, Qiu Dayu drove his donkey cart, gradually approaching Lingnan Village.
On the donkey cart sat Zhao Yuanyuan, her older brother Zhao Jun, and Zhao Zheng and his mother.
On the road, the two cars met, and the two brothers couldn't stand each other.
Qiu Dayong sneered, "Qiu Dayu, you're down on your luck at Baiyang Restaurant, so you're trying to steal my business. What are you up to!"
Don't think that just because Qiu Dafu is backing him up, he's afraid.
"Stealing business?" Qiu Dayu was both annoyed and amused.
He hadn't originally intended to pay any attention to Qiu Dayong, but this guy always seemed to be looking for trouble.
Zhao Yuanyuan, who was sitting inside the donkey cart, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She looked at Qiu Dayong with displeasure, "Brother Dayu would never compete with you for business. He's doing extremely well in business, so he wouldn't even look at this job."
She hadn't forgotten the scene when the Qiu family ganged up on Brother Dayu.
Zhao Jun became suspicious when he saw his sister so protective of Qiu Dayu.
Zhao glanced at Qiu Dayu, who was driving the carriage ahead, and then at her own son.
He used to be a scoundrel, but now he's quite something.
“Yu the Great has become increasingly accomplished recently.”
