"What's wrong?" Qiu Yumei heard the voice and entered the front shop from the backyard. "Fifth brother, you didn't go gambling again, did you?"
Please don't.
"Sister, no." Qiu Dayu casually found a seat and sat down.
"What happened?" Qiu Yumei pressed. "Did you have a fight with Yuanyuan?"
Qiu Dayu shook his head. "If it's just a simple tiff, that's fine."
Qiu Yumei sat down opposite him. "What's wrong? Tell me, and I'll help you out."
Qiu Dayu remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
Seeing his expression, Qiu Yumei guessed, "Are you thinking about getting married?" As she asked this, she laughed first.
Speaking of which, it's time for my fifth brother to get married.
Gao Yuan and Zhang Ming suppressed their laughter; with Qiu Yumei present, they couldn't make fun of her.
The two of them initially thought that what Qiu Yumei had just said was just a joke, but to their surprise, Qiu Dayu admitted it, though it was somewhat unsatisfactory.
"Sister, I want to get married, but... sigh, it's so frustrating."
"What's bothering you? Is the person you want to marry Yuanyuan? If you truly love her, I'll personally go to the village chief's house to propose marriage on your behalf."
As the eldest sister, Qiu Yumei naturally cared about her younger brother's marriage.
She guessed that her fifth brother must have been politely refused by the village chief and his wife.
After all, the fifth brother's reputation in the village was exceptionally poor.
Previously, if any family had a daughter and wanted to find a husband, they would inquire about her fifth brother, and the whole surrounding village would immediately name him Huang.
"Sister, there's no rush, no rush, about proposing marriage." Qiu Dayu waved his hands repeatedly.
The matter hasn't been resolved yet, so it would be highly inappropriate for my sister to propose marriage at this time.
He didn't want his sister to suffer because of him.
Qiu Yumei smiled and agreed, then got up and pulled Tian Xiu, who was quietly listening to their conversation, to attend to her own business.
Recently, Xiaoyan has taught her a lot of arithmetic, and she needs to study the methods of bookkeeping carefully.
When Gao Yuan and Zhang Ming had some free time, Qiu Dayu told them that the girl he liked was engaged to someone else.
Knowing that Gao Yuan and Zhang Ming lived in a nearby village, he asked them about the Zhou family.
"The landlord's family, named Zhou Bin, lived near Baiyang. He had five older sisters and was the only son in the family."
That's all he knew, and it was all from what Wang told him.
Upon hearing this, the two were truly worried for Qiu Dayu.
As the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. This kind of thing is not easy to handle.
After Qiu Dayu mentioned it, Gao Yuan realized that he had indeed heard of the Zhou family.
"There is a family in Chengxi Village surnamed Zhou. I heard that they own hundreds of acres of fertile land."
But I'm not sure if it's the family you're referring to. During busy farming seasons, they hire many farmers to work in the fields.
"Hired laborers?" Upon hearing this, Qiu Dayu looked at Gao Yuan and Zhang Ming and smiled, "Is the pay daily? Why don't you two go and earn some extra money in your spare time?"
The two shook their heads repeatedly; they wouldn't go.
Qiu Dayu lowered his eyes and said, "You guys said you'd go to great lengths for your brothers, but you won't even help with this little thing."
Zhang Ming: "Your eldest niece won't tolerate us going on strike."
Gao Yuan: "Why don't you go yourself?"
"I..." Qiu Dayu hated doing farm work the most.
Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and he had an idea.
"You guys are busy, I'll be going now."
Upon returning to Xingyue Tower, he asked the waiter if the magistrate had visited.
However, it never happened.
He no longer coveted ill-gotten gains; however, he was somewhat curious about the relationship between Tang Yi and Song Jiao.
