After all, there are plenty of women who are better than her.
Qiu Yan goes without saying, and although Song Jiao is of humble status, there are always many respectable young men who want to get close to her.
However, with the county magistrate present, they dared not openly approach him.
Besides, Baiyang City also has many beautiful girls.
Qiu Dayu was also very sociable; even Tian Xiuer from Xiaoyan's wonton shop often liked to talk to him.
Upon hearing Zhao Yuanyuan's question, Qiu Dayu's movements stiffened slightly.
He turned to look at Zhao Yuanyuan and saw that she had her head slightly lowered and her hands were still clenching her fingers. Her mood, which had been gloomy because of her mother's funeral, had improved a lot.
Zhao Yuanyuan's shy demeanor is truly adorable.
He smiled slightly. "Yes."
"who?"
Zhao Yuanyuan suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and became uneasy.
When she noticed Qiu Dayu staring intently at her with his eyes crinkled in a smile, her heart fluttered.
"Brother Dayu, don't look at me like that."
The words had barely left my lips when suddenly, a warm touch pressed against my cheek.
Zhao Yuanyuan froze slightly, then suddenly looked up and saw Qiu Dayu giving her a mischievous smile before taking off running. "Silly girl."
Zhao Yuanyuan's already flushed face instantly turned fiery hot.
"Brother Da Yu, don't run away..."
She gently touched the cheek where she had been kissed, and went to chase after the boy in the distance...
The two chased each other for a while. Perhaps they were tired from running, Qiu Dayu slowed down and looked back to see Zhao Yuanyuan panting heavily. He grabbed her swaying body.
"Yuanyuan, you said last time that you were getting married, is that true or not?"
Qiu Dayu had only heard about this from Zhao Yuanyuan, so he wanted to confirm it again.
“We’ve already received the betrothal money, how could it be fake?” Zhao Yuanyuan’s face fell at the thought.
"The betrothal gift has been received, it can be returned. How much betrothal gift did they give?"
"Ten taels of silver."
"Ten taels?" Now that Qiu Dayu was able to earn money, he felt that ten taels of silver was a bit too little.
In ordinary families, it's common for people to offer eight taels of silver as a betrothal gift.
"And you? When... will you come to my house to propose?" Zhao Yuanyuan looked at Qiu Dayu seriously, her voice so soft that even she couldn't hear it.
She was afraid that if she didn't speak up, Qiu Dayu wouldn't mention it.
After all, Qiu Dayu had previously said that he would only consider getting married after his second brother got married.
Qiu Dayu: "This... I need to think about it."
"You..." Zhao Yuanyuan was a little anxious. She was in a real predicament, and Brother Dayu didn't seem to care about helping her out of this predicament.
She turned her head and ran away.
This time, it's Qiu Dayu's turn to pursue Zhao Yuanyuan.
The two chased each other all the way and soon arrived at the village chief's house.
At the village chief's house, Zhao Jun was chopping firewood in the yard. When he saw Qiu Dayu arrive, he stopped what he was doing and gave him a meaningful look.
My sister hadn't been seen by mid-morning; it turned out she'd gone to look for Qiu Dayu.
"Yu the Great, you have arrived."
Although he and Qiu Dayu weren't exactly friends, thanks to Yuanyuan, he had hitched a ride on Qiu Dayu's donkey cart last time, which naturally improved his impression of him considerably.
Qiu Dayu nodded. "Zhao Jun, why are you chopping firewood at home during the New Year? Didn't you save any before the New Year?"
"Well, since I was just idling around anyway, I thought I'd do some more work."
Zhao Shan and Wang Shi heard the commotion outside and went out of the house at the same time.
As soon as Qiu Dayu arrived, Wang's gaze fell on Qiu Dayu and her daughter, and her expression showed slight displeasure.
When Zhao Shan saw Qiu Dayu, he first asked, "Dayu, have your mother's funeral arrangements been taken care of?"
Qiu Dayu nodded. "He has already been buried."
Faced with Wang's displeased gaze, Qiu Dayu recalled the scene of Wang chasing after him whenever she urged him to pay debts, and couldn't help but shrink back.
