Chapter 1556 The Lin Family and the Zhou Family
However, Dazhuang is busy and rarely goes home.
Lin's parents were also gentle and mild-mannered, and they made all the decisions for their two sons.
Therefore, since Dazhuang has no one to marry, the Lin family will not agree to his marriage without his consent. On the contrary, there are more people trying to arrange marriages for Daqiang.
Unfortunately, Daqiang had just tasted the profits from the sunflower field and was eager to make a big splash, aiming to become the top household in the village. Now, he spent all his time in the field tending to his precious children and had absolutely no interest in getting married.
He always used Dazhuang as a shield against his parents' earnest advice, saying that if the older brother wasn't married, how could the younger brother go and get married?
So, Lin's parents could only nag him about getting married when Dazhuang rarely came home.
Dazhuang didn't actually mind going to see it, but he really didn't have time lately, so he kept postponing it.
That's how I met Zhou Ermei.
Dazhuang had no objection to the Zhou family's request to postpone the wedding by two years. He thought that if he worked hard for those two years, he could save some money, the bride price could be more generous, the wedding could be more lively, and the family would have extra money so that they wouldn't have to live a life of hardship.
After all, Zhou Ermei's older sister married Da Niu, who is now quite wealthy. As her future brother-in-law, Da Zhuang is under a lot of pressure.
Since Dazhuang had already said that, Lin's parents didn't say anything more.
Anyway, as long as they can get engaged, that's good. The eldest is already taken, so the second one will be soon.
So this morning, Zhou Qiao picked up her father and went to the Lin family in Shangshi Village to check on their situation.
Zhou's father was mentally prepared, knowing that the Lin family didn't have much money at the moment, and that it was normal for their house to be dilapidated. His main concern was the character of the Lin family parents, whether the siblings were easy to get along with, and Dazhuang's character.
The two families met amicably and had a pleasant conversation, and that's how the decision was made.
In the next couple of days, the Lin family will pick a date and choose an engagement time to go to the Zhou family to propose marriage.
Zhou Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, then said angrily, "After confirming with the Lin family, I found out that my second aunt brought a man back on Mid-Autumn Festival and then called my second sister to her house so that the two of them could meet. If my second sister hadn't felt something was wrong and made an excuse to run home, I really don't know what my second aunt would have done."
The old lady comforted her, "Now that your sister's marriage is settled, your second aunt can't interfere anymore, so don't be angry."
Zhou Qiao nodded, then asked about the opening of Shu Yu's shop.
Shu Yu unfolded the poster for them to see, "This was drawn by A-Yun, what do you think? Isn't it pretty?"
Zhou Qiao and the old lady's eyes lit up. "These two babies are so cute!"
As she spoke, Zhou Qiao glanced at Xiao Zaozao in her arms. The little girl stared with her round eyes, reaching out and making "ah ah ah" sounds as if she really had a little friend there.
Zhou Qiao quickly hugged her and took a few steps back to avoid damaging the painting.
"Young Master Meng is truly amazing; his painting is so lifelike."
Shu Yu accepted all the praise with satisfaction, as if she had painted the picture herself. "Tomorrow I'll ask my father to set up the base and support poles. On opening day, I'll put it at the entrance of the shop. It will definitely attract a lot of people to come in and see it."
Not only on the opening day, but in the past few days, everyone in the Lu family who saw the painting couldn't help but glance at it again and again. It wasn't until Shu Yu returned to the prefectural city with the base that Lu Erbai had made and the painting that the fuss stopped.
