Chapter 474: Big Misunderstanding

"How come this child has changed so much after growing up? No, mother, I won't go to the shop tomorrow. Yamato and I will go back to Jiangjia Village. We can't let him down. I'll go and test Hongxia's attitude.

If she agrees, our two families should just settle the marriage as soon as possible, preferably by the end of the year. Hongxia is about to turn seventeen, and we can't delay it any longer. If we delay her until she is eighteen, how can she survive in the village? Those old women are more poisonous than each other, like arsenic, how can a young girl bear it."

Zhu Yingqiu slapped his thigh and said to Zhang Jinlan.

She looked anxious. If it wasn't dark, she would have wanted to go back to Jiangjia Village right away.

"Well, you go. We don't know which of Tongshui's words are true or false, and he won't say. You go ask Hongxia. Don't be too explicit. Girls are shy. If Lao Chen doesn't object, then it's settled. I think Hongxia is a good child, and Lao Chen and his wife are nice people too. All their children are filial."

After Zhang Jinlan finished speaking, Jiang Shoujia also nodded.

It's settled.

Early the next morning.

The old couple got on the carriage and returned to Jiangjia Village.

When they arrived at the village, they did not even go into the house, but parked the carriage directly in front of the gate of the Chen family, so that everyone in the village was wondering whether the Jiang family was going to make money with the Chen family.

There were also many gossipy old ladies who took their stools and sat under the trees opposite the Chen family's house.

They seemed to be chatting, but in fact, several pairs of eyes were exploring the Chen family's yard.

After chatting with the old couple of the Chen family for a while, Zhu Yingqiu came into the yard and pulled Chen Hongxia aside.

"Hongxia, auntie saw you two walking towards the city gate on the street yesterday and called you, but you probably didn't hear me. As for Tongshui, ahem, how is your relationship? Has he ever bullied you? If he has, auntie will go home and beat him to death." Zhu Yingqiu asked tentatively.

"Bully me? No! Third Brother Jiang is a very nice person. Really, he has never bullied me. He is very good to me. He even treated me to noodles yesterday!" Chen Hongxia thought that the bullying that Zhu Yingqiu mentioned referred to as beating and scolding.

He quickly explained.

I was afraid that Zhu Yingqiu would misunderstand me.

"That's good. He's a bad boy. I should treat you. It's unreasonable for a girl to spend money. It's just a bowl of noodles. It's not worth the money. Tsk, this boy, why is he so stingy? Where did he spend the pocket money I usually gave him? Why didn't I take you to the restaurant for dinner? He's too stingy. His father and I are not like this. Who does he look like?"

Zhu Yingqiu was shocked by the way her son searched her.

Treat your loved one to some noodles?

Deqiu Hongxia didn't mind, but if it were someone else, they would have ignored him long ago.

Hongxia is such a good child.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yingqiu looked at Chen Hongxia with even gentler eyes.

"Auntie, don't talk about Third Brother Jiang like that. He's really nice, and his noodles are delicious. The restaurant is so expensive. Third Brother Jiang's money can be used to buy books. You don't have to treat me. By the way, Auntie, wait for me."

Chen Hongxia doesn't like to take advantage of others.

When she came back yesterday, she used her own savings to buy twenty eggs from her good friend in the village.

I left half for my sister-in-law.

She was thinking of sending it to Jiang Tongshui in town today, but when she woke up in the morning, she found her sister-in-law was feeling unwell and there was no one to do the housework, so she thought of going tomorrow.

As a result, Zhu Yingqiu came, and Chen Hongxia prepared to give her the eggs that were kept in the house.

Let her take it back.

"Auntie, here, these eggs, give them to Brother Jiang San to nourish his body. He is studying in school. I heard that studying is very laborious, so he needs to eat and drink well."

For Chen Hongxia.

Eggs are the best thing in the world.

If you are thin, you can use eggs to supplement your body. If you are pregnant, you can also use eggs to supplement your body.

A universal tonic.

But she seldom eats it.

It's too expensive. One costs only one cent. Most importantly, you can't even eat enough. It's not as good as buying a steamed bun.

"Good boy, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I like you. I will make the decision and agree to this."

Zhu Yingqiu took the basket and patted the back of Chen Hongxia's hand again.

His smile was so kind.

Chen Hongxia felt something strange.

She just gave me an egg, there's no need to laugh like that, right?

However, she didn't think much about it and responded to Zhu Yingqiu with a smile.

"Look, Hongxia is still thinking about Tongshui's studies. She asked me to bring this egg to Tongshui so that he can have a good body. Tsk tsk, she really cares about him. Such a good girl, but Tongshui, this stinky boy, doesn't cherish her. No matter how we asked him yesterday, he didn't admit it. See what I said, the two of them must be in love."

At that time, Jiang Dahe came out of the house.

The couple talked as they got into the carriage.

Then leave the village.

I didn't go home the whole time.

Not long after walking out, I saw a few old ladies busy at work, so I quickly ran to Chen's house to find out the news.

"Mrs. Cui, what did the Dahe couple come to your house for just now? Are they buying or selling anything?" one of them asked excitedly.

"No, he just stopped by my house to ask about chestnuts and stuff, and he didn't say anything." Mrs. Cui was also puzzled.

The couple came to her house and chatted about this and that, and finally talked about their granddaughter.

He said that his granddaughter Hongxia got along well with the three boys of the Jiang family, and asked Hongxia what she was doing in the town.

Mrs. Cui didn't want to think too deeply about it.

The Jiang family is rich, so why would they be interested in her granddaughter? Therefore, she was extremely puzzled.

"That's it? That's all?" The person who asked the question curled her lips and didn't believe it at all. She thought that Mrs. Cui didn't want to say it.

So, he gave Mrs. Cui a cold look.

"Really? Why would I lie to you? I'm not saying anything. Okay, go away. I still have to cook brown sugar eggs for my grandson's wife. I don't want to chat with you anymore."

My grandson's wife was not feeling well, so my granddaughter went to town yesterday and bought some brown sugar, and brought some eggs in the evening.

It’s just right for cooking brown sugar eggs, which is the best thing for your body and also helps with pregnancy.

There is no news.

A few old ladies lost interest and turned away.

There was nothing to do in the winter and they couldn't grow crops in the fields, so they gathered in one of their rooms and chatted about gossip.

Almost all the private matters of the whole village were discussed.

At this moment, if someone passed by the door and was seen by them, he would be in disgrace.

Zhu Yingqiu was so happy when she returned home.

She wanted to deliver the eggs to her younger son's room in person, but when she entered, she found the room was empty.

"What's going on? Where is the Third Young Master?" Zhu Yingqiu asked the maid in the courtyard.

"The Third Young Master went to the school after you left. He said that the teacher wanted to see him and he would come back during the next break." The maid stopped sweeping the floor, stood up and answered her.

"You little brat, you run fast, otherwise I would have scolded you." Zhu Yingqiu's anger towards his younger son had almost reached its peak.

Dare to run, right?

Then don't blame her as his mother, who made the decision for him.

A few days later, a carriage left Jiangjia and stopped when passing the city gate. A matchmaker got on and then the carriage headed towards Jiangjia Village.
