Song Yu was an excellent communicator, and soon all his playmates knew that the eldest brother of the Song family was getting married. They all went home and told their parents, and many families gave up the idea of marrying their daughters after hearing about it.
But there are still people who are kept in the dark!
The next morning, Mrs. Qian took Zhang Ermei to the Song family.
"Mrs. Qian, where are you going?"
"Go find Song Tao."
"Why are you going to the Song family?"
"What's it to you?" Mrs. Qian replied unhappily. What are you all curious about? Have you finished your work for the day and are you asking here?
"You don't want to go to the Song family to propose marriage, do you?" someone in the crowd guessed with a smile.
"What? Is it not possible? Besides, it is their family that should propose marriage, how can it be our turn?" Mrs. Qian did not hide the truth when she saw that someone had revealed it. Anyway, everyone knew that she wanted to marry her daughter to the Song family.
This is good. Now that everyone knows about it, how can the Song family not agree?
Mrs. Qian's abacus was clacking loudly, and everyone who heard this laughed out loud, and the trend was getting louder and louder.
"Laugh! What are you laughing at? What's so funny? The Song family kid isn't engaged yet, and my daughter has always liked that guy. How can she not be worthy of him?"
Seeing that everyone around her was laughing so hard, Mrs. Qian thought that they felt her daughter was not worthy of him, so she quickly retorted.
"Mrs. Qian, who said the Song family kid isn't engaged?"
"You're so out of date. Yesterday, Xiaoyu's story spread everywhere: his eldest brother is getting married. How come you didn't know?"
"Yes, yes, Sanniang has gone to buy things."
“Hahahahahahahahahaha”
The villagers were talking one after another, mocking Mrs. Qian and Zhang Ermei for being so ungrateful. They were already engaged, and everyone in the village knew about it, yet they were still pretending!
Yesterday, Xu Sanniang went out excitedly to buy things and did not hide it from the villagers. After all, she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to. How could someone not know about it?
Mrs. Qian and Zhang Ermei were stunned by the sudden news. Zhang Ermei reacted first and felt ashamed. She covered her face and ran home, leaving Mrs. Qian there.
"Which family did he marry from? Who else could be better than ours?" Mrs. Qian looked incredulous. How could they get married again just one month after breaking off the engagement?
Seeing Mrs. Qian like this, the others all felt bored. This was too pretentious! They all went about their own business.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Mrs. Qian went back home in shame. When she got home, she saw Zhang Ermei crying, which made her feel even more ashamed!
"Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry! You useless thing!"
"I'm useless. If you are useful, go and ask Song Tingzhi to marry me!" Zhang Ermei ran into the house crying, ignoring Mrs. Qian.
"What a money-losing guy!" Mrs. Qian cursed, feeling extremely angry.
…
On the mountain, Song Tingzhi planned to go to the town to sell the sheep. When he dragged it back, it was half-dead, but after being raised by Jiang Cheng, it became full of energy again.
After Song Ting went down the mountain and sold the sheep, his family had more money and more betrothal gifts, and their life would be better!
"Are you going today? Why not wait a few days? Your injuries haven't fully healed yet."
Jiang Cheng watched Song Tingzhi prepare to go out, worried that his injury would re-open.
"It's okay. I can go back and ask my mother when she's getting married." Song Tingzhi stared at Jiang Cheng after he said that.
When Jiang Cheng heard Song Tingzhi say this, his face gradually turned red, and he lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Whatever you want!"
Jiang Cheng felt that Song Tingzhi was staring at him, so he didn't care what he was going to do and went back into the house with a red face.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng ran away in anger due to shame, Song Tingzhi did not chase after him to tease him. Instead, he tied the sheep to the donkey cart and went down the mountain.
Jiang Cheng heard the noise of Song Tingzhi leaving, came out and told him to leave without looking back, and stomped his feet in anger.
"Xiao Hui, he's a fool, isn't he?"
“Ouch—”
…
Song Tingzhi drove his donkey cart straight to the town and did not go home. He planned to sell the sheep in the town first, then buy some things before going back.
If I could meet the same person from last time, I could sell more!
After Song Tingzhi arrived in the town, he went to several restaurants in a row but no one was willing to buy him. Even those who were willing to buy offered prices that were too low, making it not worthwhile at all!
Just when Song Tingzhi was about to go back, someone called him.
"Brother! Wait a minute." The man came in anxiously, panting, "Sell me this sheep! Five taels of silver is enough?"
The first thing he said was five taels, which startled Song Ting. He wondered who was the sucker again. But he saw that it was the man who bought the sheep last time.
"It's you!" Qi Yu saw someone selling sheep from a distance, and ran over quickly for fear that someone else would buy it. After catching his breath for a while, he looked up and saw that it was the person who sold the sheep last time!
"What a coincidence! Brother, please sell it to me!" Qi Yu said, seeing that it was an acquaintance. He really couldn't find a seller, and the old man was really craving mutton. It was really terrible!
"Okay!" Song Tingzhi was not polite. He just didn't know what to do and someone came to solve the problem. "Four and a half taels will do!"
Song Tingzhi thought that this person was probably a regular customer, so he gave him a discount. In the end, he was getting a good deal.
"Thank you very much. What's your name? Let's be friends." Qi Yu took the rope from Song Tingzhi's hand and accepted his favor without hesitation.
"Song Tingzhi."
"That's a nice name. My name is Qi Yu." Qi Yu punched him with his fist, and he considered himself a friend.
"Let's talk another day. I'm leaving now!" Qi Yu came and left quickly, and disappeared in the crowd in a flash.
Song Tingzhi looked at Qi Yu disappearing into the crowd, shook his head, and planned to buy some small things for Jiang Cheng.
As soon as Song Tingzhi entered the store, someone came up to him and asked him what he wanted. Song Tingzhi waved his hand and planned to choose by himself. Seeing that the customer didn't want him to be around, the waiter retreated.
Song Tingzhi looked around the shop and finally fell in love with a carved silver bracelet. He called the waiter to ask how much it cost.
"Three and a half taels." Seeing that Song Tingzhi was interested in buying, the waiter quickly quoted a price.
"Pack it up!" Song Tingzhi didn't hesitate when he heard the price. The price was reasonable, so he didn't feel bad about selling things to Jiang Cheng.
"Okay!" The waiter packed the things neatly and handed them to Song Tingzhi with a smile. He smiled as he walked him out.
It would be great if there were a few more customers like this every day!
After buying the silver bracelet, Song Tingzhi went to the cloth shop to buy some new cloth to make some new clothes for Jiang Cheng. He also needed to buy red cloth for the wedding dress! Song Tingzhi had bought a lot of things along the way, and the money he got from selling the sheep was not much left. He put all the things on the donkey cart and drove the donkey back.
As soon as he arrived at the village, Song Tingzhi was stopped by someone. The donkey was startled by the sudden appearance of the person, so Song Ting quickly stopped the donkey cart.
