"Grandma Liang, please calculate how much these watermelons are worth. I'll pay you. I feel bad eating your food for free."
After they became familiar with the Liang family, they would always send them some fresh fruits, and take some extra vegetables home to cook. Since the store only needed lettuce and cabbage, they would sometimes take some cucumbers, sometimes tomatoes, and sometimes carrots.
We didn't charge them any extra money, it was all free.
When she heard that she had to pay her, Grandma Liang was immediately unhappy. She tutted her tongue, walked over and pulled Liang Cuicui over to stand in front of Jiang Sui:
"Oh, my dear Jiang, look at how much you have helped our Cuicui. If it weren't for your advice, how could she be so thin now?
Let me tell you, the matchmakers who want to propose marriage to our family are almost breaking down our gate. They are all young men from this farm and flower farm. What's more, your family are all very good at dealing with people. We have several acres of land with watermelons, so we have the most of them. If you still charge you for them, wouldn't that make me a bad person?
Anyway, you can just take the watermelon home and eat it. It's free. If it tastes good, tell my neighbors about it. It will be considered as introducing business to me, right?"
In fact, although Grandma Liang said this, she actually knew very well in her heart that her granddaughter fell in love with the third son of the Xiao family.
She had also observed the third son of the Xiao family. Not only was this young man handsome, he was also hardworking and efficient at work. Most importantly, he had no bad intentions and was kind-hearted. She really hoped that this marriage would be successful.
Since things had come to this, Grandma Liang simply stopped playing it safe. She directly took Jiang Sui's hand and led him into the house, as if she wanted to whisper something to her.
Before leaving, she even joked to Xiao Hechuan:
"Mr. Xiao, lend me your wife for a while, and I'll return her to you when I'm done."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hechuan raised his eyebrows, smiled and nodded.
Watching Jiang Suihe and the old man enter the house, Xiao Hechuan actually felt a little proud. He thought to himself that his Suisui was popular and everyone was willing to talk to her.
"What's the matter, Grandma Liang? Why are you so mysterious?" Jiang Sui just thought that Grandma Liang was very cute.
After sitting down in the room, Grandma Liang got straight to the point and said:
"Madam Jiang, I won't beat around the bush. I'll just ask you one question: What do you think of my daughter Cuicui?"
It turned out that they were talking about Cuicui. When she said that, Jiang Sui knew what she was going to say next.
"Cuicui is very good. She is beautiful, filial, capable, and knows how to live a good life. Whoever marries her will be blessed."
These words touched the heart of Grandma Liang, and she was happy to hear people praising her granddaughter.
"Our Cuicui and Liang Ming lost their parents when they were young, so they became sensible and capable of taking on responsibilities early. Cuicui had to help us with a lot of work when she was young, and she also had to take care of her younger brother. She was the most sensible and obedient. Now my wife and I are half buried in the ground, and I am worried that one day we will have a headache or a fever. There is no one to take care of these two children. Liang Ming is a boy, so it's okay for him to be a little rough, but Cuicui is not like that. She is about to turn 20 years old, and she still has no one to rely on and no family of her own. I am so anxious.
She also told me the truth, saying that she has fallen in love with your third brother Xiao Yi, and that just to win his favor, she has suffered so much and tried so hard to lose weight. Now that she is almost there, she is too embarrassed to ask for help, so I, as his grandmother, have to speak up. I would like to trouble you, Madam Jiang, to go back and talk to your parents-in-law to see if the two children can be okay?
I think Xiao Yi is a very good child, worthy of reliance and trust. Our family does not want any dowry or those messy things. On the contrary, we have prepared a dowry for Cuicui. We don't want anything else, just a person, and a child who likes and is happy. Can you go back and inform them in advance? Grandma, please?"
Grandma Liang said it very clearly and directly expressed her meaning.
Jiang Sui had long seen Liang Cuicui's affection for Xiao Yi. In fact, from many aspects, the two of them would make a good match. However, Jiang Sui still wanted to make one thing clear in advance, which was that Xiao Yi had married a wife before, but they just divorced. Since they were going to talk about marriage, these things had to be sorted out first.
"Grandma Liang, it's no problem to pass on the message. I will definitely convey your wishes, but before that, I have to explain my third brother's situation to you. He was married once before, but for some reason, they divorced last year. They didn't have any children. If you want to discuss marriage with our family, I have to explain these things to you first. If you and Cuicui don't mind, I can go back and pass on the message."
Grandma Liang didn’t know this until Jiang Sui told her. She was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She asked:
"So does your third brother still have contact with the one in front?"
"No, it wasn't a very pleasant thing at the time. Besides, there was such a big disaster last year that many people were displaced, so we would not have any contact with each other anymore." Jiang Sui told the truth.
"That's good. As long as he has no ties with the previous one, we don't care. Madam Jiang, don't be afraid of our opinions. Just go back and tell the message. It will be considered as grandma's thanks to you." Grandma Liang seemed to like Xiao Yi very much and wanted him to be her grandson-in-law.
"Okay, if you don't mind, I'll definitely pass on your message."
Jiang Sui agreed with a smile. She had a vague feeling that the Xiao family would soon have a happy event.
Liang Cuicui was fiddling with her flowers and plants in the yard, and her eyes always inadvertently looked towards the inner room. She knew that her grandmother was asking about marriage on her behalf, and she was nervous and shy.
Until Grandma Liang and Jiang Sui came out, the two of them were talking and laughing, especially Grandma Liang, her eyes were narrowed into slits due to laughing.
"Okay, Madam Jiang, let's make it a deal. I'll be waiting for your good news!" Grandma Liang patted the back of Jiang Sui's hand.
"It depends on what my parents-in-law and my third brother think. Anyway, we will come to see you in person when the time comes. Please wait patiently. I came to the farm today to see how my chicken farm is doing. I won't chat with you for now. My husband and I will go to the chicken farm first!"
She came here to do serious business today. She wanted to see how the chickens in the chicken farm were doing. She wanted to develop a roasted chicken and braised chicken business in the future. If the chickens were doing well, she would consider expanding the scale.
