"Second son, are you home?" The speaker was none other than Old Mrs. Qin.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"Isn't it because I'm worried about whether you're doing well? You're also a piece of my flesh."
"It's alright, Mother, it'll do. Mother, what brings you here?"
“I found a family for our wild vegetable. I heard from Granny Wu that this family is well-off, and the young man is handsome. Wild vegetable will be 16 years old after the New Year, so it’s time to find a family for her.”
"Mom, there's no rush. We should also ask the wild vegetables if they agree."
"She's just a girl. Her parents can judge her character by her own standards. Anyone else is better at judging people than her."
"Besides, the bride price was quite high, 30 yuan. This is a wealthy family."
"Don't you want this wild vegetable to find a good home?"
"I've thought about it, but I need to ask the wild vegetables, and also, which family owns them?"
"This is from Fengshou Village up ahead, the Wang family. They have three sons and want to find a husband for their youngest son. Go ask around and everyone will say that this youngest son is handsome, capable, and has even received a few years of education."
"Grandma, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"
"Qin Yecai just got back and saw this old lady in her own house."
"I have a feeling that this old woman is up to no good, and I don't know what she's plotting this time."
"Alright, I'm going back now. Let your father talk to you. I'm doing this for your own good. Old Mrs. Qin knows this girl is quite capable, so she's preparing to leave quickly."
"Dad, what's going on? Why are you keeping it a secret?"
“Your grandma is here. She found you a good family. She said they are well-off, the man is handsome and capable. He is from another village and is the third child in his family.”
"Wow, she's so kind. I don't think I'm meeting her for the first time."
"She's your grandmother after all, don't talk like that."
“Dad, let me tell you, if she treated me like her granddaughter and you like her son, would she have kicked us out in the winter? Isn’t that a bit ridiculous? You’ve heard that she even got into a fight with the Zhao family a couple of days ago.”
The woman who was eating wild vegetables said from the side, "I don't think we should be so kind. I know my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship after all these years."
Seeing that his wife and daughter both said this, he knew in his heart how wrong his parents had been over the years, so he decided not to mention it.
“You’re 16 now, you’ll have to get married sooner or later. If you marry into a good family, you’ll be able to live a good life. You’re up in the mountains every day doing farm work, it’s because your father is incompetent.”
"Alright, I understand. Parents, I'll ask around and find out what's going on. It doesn't seem like they have good intentions."
There are no secrets in the village.
When Zhao Kelan heard that the Qin family was going to introduce a potential partner to Ye Cai, she thought to herself, "You've beaten me up like this, it would be strange if I could please you."
Zhao Kelan already knew about Qin Yecai's situation and suspected that Qin Yecai was a time traveler. She wondered why Qin Yecai was so strong and had separated from her family. She was a little suspicious, but she planned to deal with Old Madam Qin's family first.
Even in the sweltering summer heat, Zhao Kelan couldn't shake her vain and showy nature. She wore light makeup and clothes that were fitted at the waist.
After all, she used to be a prominent figure, so she was naturally unwilling to be ordinary. Although she looked down on the men in the village, she was quite pleased to see their eyes fixed on her.
Are you Qin Yecai?
"You're Zhao Kelan, what can I do for you?" Qin Yecai asked, puzzled.
"It's like this, I didn't want to say it originally," Zhao Kelan said, lowering her head as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"You must have something to say, or you just came to chat, right?"
Qin Yecai observed this woman, whose appearance had changed dramatically, who was wearing a fitted dress and looked pitiful and innocent. She felt that she was definitely not a simple person. People could not change so much. She had already confirmed that she was a time traveler. Today was a good opportunity to meet her.
Although I initially reacted strongly upon arriving in this era, I quickly became more cautious. After observing for so long, I concluded that there were probably no other time travelers in the village.
This is really interesting; let's see what tricks she's up to.
