Aunt Gu was more rational. She felt that the news of Zhao Qingshan's return was probably true, and the news of the marriage was probably something Zhao Qingshan had released specifically to get back at her. After all, giving someone a false happiness was also a form of revenge.
Aunt Gu knew her own limitations. While her granddaughter was outstanding, she was only from Zhaojiagou. Zhao Yunxiang's son was a university graduate with a good job. There were many more talented girls in Kyoto than Cao. How could they be talking about marriage after only knowing each other for a short time?
Besides, even if Zhou Jiasheng really wants to have this marriage, it will probably be ruined by Zheng Qiulian.
No family would be happy to have Zheng Qiulian, with her insatiable face. Therefore, Aunt Gu didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore, as she couldn't do anything about it anyway.
"Okay, Auntie, I'm leaving now. The old secretary and his family will be here tomorrow morning, so your family should get ready!" After Zheng Qiulian's disturbance, Zhao Youtian also felt that this marriage was not optimistic. Looking at Aunt Gu and her husband, who looked worried, Zhao Youtian was thinking about something, but he didn't know what to do. He could only shake his head and sigh and leave.
"Hui Xiang, that kid... has an idea!" Zhao the bamboo craftsman looked at Zhao Youtian's back and saw that his wife looked worried, so he quickly gave her some advice.
Zhao the bamboo craftsman was not good at speaking, so his words were relatively simple.
Aunt Gu knew what Zhao the bamboo craftsman was thinking: That girl Cao always has her own ideas and will not let Zheng Qiulian bring shame to the family like this.
But Zheng Qiulian's personality, what she wanted to do, how could a little girl stop her? Didn't she see that even her mother-in-law couldn't do anything about Zheng Qiulian?
Aunt Gu was so worried that she couldn't sleep well all night.
Zhao Qingshan and his companions' car entered the village at 12:00 on the second morning.
Zhou Jiasheng's vacation was too short. In order to save time, Zhou Xi drove the car without stopping all the way.
The news that Zhao Qingshan's grandson Zhou Jiasheng was going to marry Zhao Cao was announced by Zheng Qiulian yesterday.
Early in the morning, a group of villagers, both men and women, were waiting at the entrance of Zhaojiagou Village. Everyone wanted to see the "sucker" from Kyoto City.
That’s right, before Zhou Jiasheng even arrived in Zhaojiagou, he was already labeled a “sucker”.
When Zheng Qiulian found Zhao Hongsheng, Zhao Hongsheng was at Gutiezhu's house, strolling around with a few other villagers he usually played with, and bragging to everyone about Gutiezhu's house which cost three thousand yuan to build.
Zheng Qiulian was so excited that she didn't care that there were a lot of people around. As soon as she saw Zhao Hongsheng, she couldn't wait to tell him about her family's marriage with Zhao Yunxiang's family.
Zheng Qiulian's news shocked everyone, including Zhao Hongsheng.
Before Zhao Hongsheng could say anything, Zheng Qiulian went back to the village and boasted about Zhao Qingshan's upcoming marriage proposal. Zheng Qiulian also said that Zhao Yunxiang's family was so wealthy, and as a mother, asking for a betrothal gift of 5,000 yuan shouldn't be too much. If Zhou Jiasheng, her son-in-law, really had feelings for her daughter, she would accept even 10,000 yuan.
Five thousand? Ten thousand? All the villagers in Zhaojiagou gasped in shock at Zheng Qiulian's loud breath.
After Zheng Qiulian returned home, a few gossipy women gathered together, chattering for a while before finally deciding to go to Zheng Qiulian's house the next day to watch the fun. They really couldn't believe that any "sucker" would be willing to spend 50,000 or 10,000 yuan to marry a wife.
That is why there are so many people at the entrance of Zhaojiagou village early in the morning.
At 8 a.m., the sharp-eyed Eighth Aunt saw the shadow of a car appear in the distance and quickly screamed at the top of her lungs, "Here they come! The old secretary and his men are here."
"The old secretary and his family came back in a car! I heard this kind of car is very expensive. After all, they are city people, so their style is different." Aunt San sighed.
"Is there any need for that? Zhao Qingshan's relative is a general, and his son-in-law is a general. When Zhao Qingshan is with those nobles, he must be very impressive." Shitou Niang said enviously.
"Are the Hongsheng family exaggerating? Such a noble family wants to marry their daughter? And they want to give a betrothal gift of 50,000 or 10,000? It's impossible, right?" Zhao Sande's family expressed doubt.
"It's difficult. Who knows if Zhao Yunxiang's son is disabled, so he has to find a country wife to serve him?" Looking at the car getting closer and closer, Eighth Aunt felt that she had grasped some of the truth.
"Eighth Aunt, did you hear from someone that Yunxiang's son is disabled? You can't curse people casually!" Third Aunt was shocked by Eighth Aunt's words.
"Tsk! Guihua, use your brain and think about it. Does a good young man from the city need to go to the countryside to find a wife? And pay such a high bride price?" Eighth Aunt retorted unconvincedly.
"Yeah, yeah! What a pity that kid, Fuding Jiasheng, has been through in the past few years!
······
For a time, there was a debate about whether Zhou Jiasheng was disabled or not, and a heated debate broke out among the aunts and grandmas in Zhaojiagou.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Zhou Jiasheng, who kept his eyes on Zhao Cao from time to time, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When the car was still ten kilometers from the village entrance, Zhou Yuanyuan had already "seen" a large crowd gathered at the village entrance. To be cautious, Zhou Yuanyuan released her spiritual sense and listened clearly to the villagers' discussions.
To put it bluntly, the marriage between Zhou Jiasheng and Zhao Cao was that Zhou Jiasheng loved Cao so much that he couldn't help himself, which led to their return to their hometown. How come those old ladies said that Zhou Jiasheng was missing some limbs and needed to "buy" someone to serve him?
"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Zhou Jiasheng felt a little flustered by Zhou Yuanyuan's stare and couldn't help but ask.
"Brother, I'm thinking, should I break your hands or your legs, so that we can all be Zhuge Liang?" Zhou Yuanyuan's smiling eyes swept back and forth on Zhou Jiasheng's body.
Zhou Jiasheng's face no longer showed any trace of the injuries he had suffered a few days ago. Chaos Pearl was truly remarkable. It took three days for Zhou Jiasheng's injuries to heal, and today happened to be the third day.
"Sister, please don't mess around. If you ruin my business, I won't forgive you." Zhou Jiasheng was so angry that he bared his teeth at Zhou Yuanyuan. Seeing that they were about to reach Zhaojiagou, how could he go to the Cao family to ask for marriage with all his injuries?
"Hehehe... Brother, those old ladies at the village entrance have already started betting on whether you have a disabled hand or a disabled leg. I just want to prevent them from working in vain!" Zhou Yuanyuan laughed.
