Chapter 760 Engagement with the Liu Family
"Haha, this kid is really funny, but it's good that he's more honest. At least he doesn't play tricks."
In Li's heart, her love for Jiang Tongxiang deepened even more.
His parents are kind, his grandparents are loving, and he himself is not bad. He can save so much money and not spend it carelessly, which means he never hangs out with bad friends. Most importantly, he is also very handsome, no worse than the sixth boy of the Jiang family.
She is taller than her older son.
If my brother wasn't so outstanding, I'm afraid a lot of people would be fighting for such a person.
"Mom, let me take the banknote and return it to him." Liu Yunhai said.
"No, since he insists on giving it to me, I'll take it. I think he's good in every way, but we're the woman, so we have to take it. If the Jiang family doesn't send a matchmaker to propose marriage after a while, this matter will be cancelled, and I'll return the banknote myself."
Li made the final decision.
Liu Yunhai naturally didn't say much.
Although his anger had dissipated, he began to feel sad when he thought that his sister might be getting married soon.
His parents had few children, so he grew up with his younger sister, who was treated like a treasure.
How could I bear to let her get married?
But then he thought again, the Jiang family was right next door, so close, he could just use the excuse of finding friends to play with and visit his sister from time to time.
In an instant, he accepted Jiang Tongxiang in his heart.
At the Jiang family's house, Jiang Tongxiang was in the main hall, being watched by the whole family.
"What do you want to do, kid? Your elder brother hasn't gotten married yet, can you bypass him?" Zhang Yanzi said with a frown.
"Mother, it's not uncommon for younger brothers to marry before their older brothers. Besides, I really haven't cared about these things in the past few years. I always let Tongxiang wait for me. I feel guilty about him. He will be nineteen tomorrow, and other people already have children.
If we delay any longer, we can't let my brother remain single until he's 20 years old. Since he already has a lover, let's make him happy. After the New Year, you and mother can find a matchmaker to propose marriage for my brother."
Jiang Tongji stood up and spoke for his brother.
Jiang Fubao followed suit and said, "Yes, it's rare for someone in our family to want to get married, so don't be anxious. When my second brother didn't want to get married, you were so anxious. In my opinion, the purpose of life is to live happily. No matter how big the world is, any rules can't compare to the happiness our family has.
Sister Xinlan is so kind. If we wait any longer, she will marry someone else. Then, if Seventh Brother gets angry and refuses to get married, how can you be at ease? I don’t want you to be sad or worry about this. Grandma, mother, and grandfather, just agree to this.”
Jiang Fubao acted coquettishly towards his grandparents and mother.
As for his biological father, forget it, just let him sit there and act cool.
Don't worry about the rest.
Anyway, Dad always listens to Mom.
As long as mom agrees, dad will definitely agree.
"Tongji and Fubao are both right. Tongxiang, have you made up your mind? Are you going to marry anyone else but her?" Jiang Shoujia thought for a while before looking up and asking his grandson.
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to marry her." Jiang Tongxiang said firmly.
"Well, okay. After the New Year, let's find a matchmaker to propose marriage." When Jiang Shoujia said this, it was the final decision.
Zhang Jinlan thought so too, so she didn't interrupt.
Zhang Yanzi opened her mouth, then closed it without making any sound.
She treats her two sons equally. Since her father-in-law said so, she naturally had to agree. She couldn't put her second son at the expense of her eldest son.
Moreover, my daughter and eldest son also helped to speak.
The three siblings are so harmonious, what else could she be dissatisfied with?
Let her younger brother marry first. She doesn't care what others say and just pretends not to hear them.
It is settled.
As soon as the New Year was over, the Jiang family found the matchmaker who had previously proposed marriage to Jiang Tongtu and went to the Liu family.
The Liu family refused the first time, which was reasonable.
The woman has to take the blame.
The second time, I thought he would refuse, but considering the good relationship between the two families, Li simply agreed.
After being rejected twice in a row, the Jiang family couldn't afford the loss of face.
It just so happened that she had already asked her daughter what she thought. Although she had no feelings for him yet, she did not mind marrying Jiang Tongxiang.
Even have some good feelings.
In fact, Liu Xinlan is also a person who cares about appearance. She didn't pay much attention to Jiang Tongxiang at first. As Jiang Tongxiang became more mature, she found that Jiang Tongxiang was actually one of the best in the town in terms of appearance.
If you reject him, you will never find someone as suitable as you in the future.
Besides, Jiang Tongxiang liked her very much, and their families lived so close to each other and visited each other frequently. It would be better for her to marry him than to marry someone she had only met a few times.
In early March, the two officially got engaged.
Spring is here, and it's time for farmers to plant seeds.
After coming back from outside, Jiang Fubao has been preparing for one thing. She wants to buy all the wasteland in the remaining villages in Lianshan Town.
Use it to reclaim wasteland and make medicinal plants.
Since we have decided to open clinics throughout the Tianling Kingdom, the first problem we have to deal with is medicinal materials.
There are so many medical clinics, and the number of patients they receive every day is innumerable. Not only does it take time to spend money to buy medicine, but you may not be able to buy that much. You may even have to pay extra for rare medicines.
The cost has become higher, so for ordinary people, there is no difference between seeing a doctor at Ren Ai Medical Clinic and seeing a doctor at other medical clinics.
So, she has to control costs.
She must reduce medical expenses to the lowest possible level to ensure that ordinary people can afford medical treatment while her clinic can also make some money.
After much thought, the only option is to expand planting.
"Fubao, let's go." When it was time to sow seeds, Jiang Shoujia would return to the village. Since Jiang Fubao said the night before that he wanted to go back together, Jiang Shoujia was waiting for his granddaughter in the main hall after breakfast in the morning.
Seeing that she had finished eating, Jiang Shoujia urged her.
"Okay." Jiang Fubao followed.
Pan Erya and Xue Huan followed on the left and right.
The weather was not that cold anymore, and the curtains of the carriage were tied up. Jiang Fubao could see the scenery outside by turning his head.
There are mountains on the left side of the road and a village on the right side.
We passed Zhangjia Village, which was the richest village many years ago, and then arrived at Lijia Village and Wangjia Village.
The original wealth of the ten villages was ranked according to their distance from the city gate.
Jiangjia Village used to be the poorest, the farthest from the city gate, and surrounded by mountains.
The location of Zhangjia Village is really good. There is the city gate on the left, a big river at the entrance of the village, and it is not far from the mountain. It can be said that it has everything.
But things are very different now.
Zhangjia Village, which has a good location and a big river, has been far overtaken by Jiangjia Village and even Zhoujia Village and has come third.
The villagers of Zhangjia Village would have to farm for several years to earn as much as the two villages make from selling medicinal herbs every year.
That's not even counting the rest.
For example, Jiang’s Snack Shop collects chestnuts from the mountains every year, and the price is higher than in the town.
Jiang Fubao also specially drew pictures of medicinal herbs and posted a row of them in Jiangjia Village.
So they can identify it easily.
If you dig up medicinal herbs in the mountains, you can exchange them with her for silver, and the price is also not low.
The Jiang family collected all the chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, and even the vegetables and grains they grew.
