Chapter 19 The master's farmhand carried away the concubine brought for good luck.
The man had dark skin and was very thin.
She has a bright white smile.
He was carrying a string of hairy crabs in his hand, and a little girl with similar features to him was following behind him.
The little girl wasn't shy at all; she smiled and greeted her with her big white teeth.
"Hello, Sister Song."
The man spoke up: "Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Chen Nan, and this is my sister Chen Bei."
"These are crabs from our own crab farm. We brought them for you to try."
Song Jiao smiled faintly: "Thank you, but I'm pregnant and shouldn't eat crab."
The boy didn't mind: "Then let Brother Ji try it."
"You guys at the crab farm must be pretty busy lately, right?" Song Jiao didn't take the bait.
I'm feeling a little unhappy.
Baozhu took the crab from Chen Nan's hand.
Chen Nan was completely unaware: "I'll be a bit busier lately."
Chen Bei felt that her second brother hadn't understood what Sister Song meant at all, so she spoke up:
"My dad and brother are the only ones who are really busy in the crab field. I've been playing around too much these past few days, and I've been calling Sister Baozhu to go fishing and climbing trees every day. Sister Song, please don't be angry."
Her meaning was clear: in the Chen family, it was all men who did the work.
They didn't ask Baozhu to help in the crab fields either.
Song Jiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Chen Bei's words: "It's normal for you young people to like to play. Chen Bei, right? You're Baozhu's good friend. Come over and play often in the future."
Chen Bei laughed when she heard her tone: "Okay, Sister Song, don't find me annoying later."
Song Jiao wasn't a mean person, and Ji Huaizhi had already inquired about her beforehand, so he wouldn't give her a hard time.
"No, I just love the liveliness at home." Song Jiao turned around: "Wait a minute."
"These are pancakes I made this morning. Take them home and try them."
Chen Nan shook his head honestly: "How could we? We'll go back first, no need for pancakes."
"It's homemade, don't be shy." Song Jiao packed some up and handed it to Chen Bei.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Bei immediately thanked him:
"Thank you, Sister Song. Sister Baozhu is absolutely right. You are indeed beautiful and kind."
"We've never made pancakes in our family before."
Chen Bei smiled and made Song Jiao laugh with a few words.
Chen Bei is quite clever and witty; she's very endearing.
"You're welcome."
After seeing the girl off, Song Jiao glanced at Baozhu and said, "A daughter is too young to stay at home."
Baozhu stuck out her tongue: "Sister, I always go out to play with Xiaobei, but I don't do any chores at their house."
Song Jiao: "This is what Sister Li told me. That's how rumors start."
"Did you get to know Xiao Bei first, or this Chen Nan?"
"I met Xiao Bei first." Baozhu chuckled and took Song Jiao's hand as they walked into the house. "We met when her brother came to find her because we were fishing and the river was flooded."
Seeing that Song Jiao had no other expression, Baozhu tentatively asked, "Then, sister, do you agree?"
"If I disagree, you'll just ignore him?"
Baozhu: "Of course, your and brother-in-law's thoughts are more important to me."
Song Jiao: "It's not that our thoughts are more important, but that the most important thing is that the person treats you well. If their family is satisfied with you, there will be further actions."
Baozhu smiled and said, "What would you like to eat tonight, sister? I'll cook."
"Let's eat crabs."
"Oh dear, sister, please don't make fun of me."
After returning, Chen Nan stood next to the water vat and poured water directly on himself to wash off the mud.
The Chen family members came out: "How did it go? Did you get the person to the door?"
"It's here." Chen Bei took out the pancakes: "These are from Sister Song."
"She is really beautiful."
"Oh dear, why are you bringing this? This is refined grain." Chen's mother touched the pancake.
Mr. Chen nodded: "It's good to have something to give and take. Tomorrow, I'll have Chen Nan deliver some of our fruits and vegetables over there."
Chen's mother nodded: "No rush, I'll buy some snacks and send them over together, it'll look nicer."
Chen Nan, still soaking wet, came over and asked, "Father, Mother, when should we ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage?"
Chen's mother: "No rush. They're from out of town. When you send the things over tomorrow, just mention it and see if they have any customs."
"If you marry someone's daughter, you still have to go along with their wishes."
"I'm ready, now I'll go find a matchmaker."
Chen Nan scratched his head: "Okay."
Chen Bei looked at this and that: "Looks like I'll be attending my second brother's wedding. Big brother, you'd better hurry up."
“Your eldest brother knows what he’s doing, but your second brother is the only one who’s impatient and wants to finalize the marriage.”
Baozhu and Chen Nan's marriage was arranged.
However, the wedding was set for two years later, mainly because Baozhu herself suggested it.
Baozhu wanted to wait until her sister's child was born, help her take care of the child for two years, and then get married.
Actually, some families wouldn't agree to this request.
Everyone wants to get married as soon as possible and have grandchildren.
However, after considering it, Mr. and Mrs. Chen agreed because their eldest son's marriage was still undecided.
My younger brother got married first; I might be laughed at for it.
Only Chen Nan was in such a hurry, insisting on getting married to Baozhu as soon as possible after he took a liking to her.
Chen Nan didn't think he had done anything wrong. After all, he was already of marriageable age and was afraid that someone else would beat him to it.
Song Jiao and Ji Huaizhi had a daughter who looked very much like Ji Huaizhi.
Baozhu was heartbroken for a long time, feeling that the baby should look like her older sister.
After all, my brother-in-law is a big, burly man.
You will be isolated from others in the future.
But Ji Huaizhi didn't think so. He said that girls should be a little fierce, and good looks are just icing on the cake.
Ji Huaizhi personally took care of everything concerning his daughter.
Even Song Jiao's postpartum period was taken care of by Ji Huaizhi, with Baozhu only occasionally helping out.
When people around her came to see her, they just felt that the two sisters were really lucky.
Especially Song Jiao, who has a rosy complexion after giving birth.
It's obvious that she's taken excellent care of herself and hasn't suffered any hardship.
When the child was a little over one year old, Baozhu married Chen Nan wearing a wedding dress sewn by Song Jiao.
She hugged her sister and cried for a long time, saying that she could never have imagined life like this before.
From the time she was old enough to understand, her nanny would tell her that a servant is a servant.
If you're born a slave, you'll be a slave for life.
But after Baozhu met Sister Song, she became a younger sister, not a servant.
And my brother-in-law.
Although he disliked her, Baozhu knew that her brother-in-law also treated her like a younger sister.
And there's Xuanfeng, my little niece.
She felt incredibly happy in her life.
I'm so happy to be in Suzhou.
Looking at the courtyard adorned with the double happiness symbol, Song Jiao felt a bit overwhelmed by the quiet after the initial excitement.
Ji Huaizhi brought his daughter over, saying, "Since we live so close, that girl will definitely come back often for meals in the future."
Song Jiao's bitterness lessened somewhat: "This is her family home, there's nothing wrong with her coming back often."
Ji Huaizhi patted her head: "Hmm, it's fine."
"It's good that she won't bother us in this yard anymore."
Song Jiao glared at him: "Get rid of those thoughts in your head."
"It's definitely not going to work in the next few months."
Ji Huaizhi was stunned. Song Jiao took her daughter and smiled, "Our little gourd is going to have a younger brother or sister."
"So fast?"
You should know that he had been very restrained before, wanting to give Song Jiao a longer recovery time.
I never imagined that just as I was starting to enjoy a happy life, I would have to start abstinence again.
"Didn't you say you like children?" Song Jiao tilted her head. "Aren't you happy?"
Ji Huaizhi said helplessly, "I'm happy."
"I'm very happy."
