Chapter 286 Double the amount
The fact that the villagers care so much about Zhuang Qingning's affairs is enough to show that everyone is grateful to Zhuang Qingning. This is better than those ungrateful people who take advantage of others and throw down their bowls to scold the cook.
I always feel that he, as the head of the village, is a good leader and the villagers under him are all well-behaved.
Zhuang Jingye figured this out and felt that this was a very good thing, so he put a smile on his face again.
Most people in the village are happy because Zhuang Qingning's workshop is getting bigger and bigger and has more and more businesses, except for Zhuang Ruman's family.
Seeing that dead girl in their eyes was renovating the house and opening a shop, and her life was getting more and more comfortable, Zhuang Ruman and Song felt more and more uncomfortable, and their eyes were red again and again.
However, when he thought that the matchmaker for Zhuang Qinghe's marriage had already come and would send the betrothal gifts soon, Zhuang Ruman felt a little relieved.
Why be proud? No matter how proud you are, you just worked hard to earn money. You are nothing like Zhuang Qinghe, who caught the eyes of wealthy families just by having a good birth date and can enjoy a life of ease in the future.
Zhuang Ruman was just feeling proud when Jin Quan came to his door.
Zhuang Ruman was so panicked that he hurried to greet them, serving tea and water. He also asked Song to kill the chicken in the backyard and stew it for them, and told Zhuang Yuanzhong to get some wine.
"Has Miss He been relatively peaceful these days?" Jin Quan took a sip of wine and raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, the last incident was also instigated by He girl."
Zhuang Ruman thought that Jinquan was investigating Zhuang Qinghe for taking the family's money to elope with someone, thus ruining her reputation and bringing shame to the Jia family. He quickly explained, "It was Wang who saw that our Qinghe had such a good marriage. Seeing that our family was about to become rich, she became jealous and wanted to extort money from our family, so she tricked Qinghe into doing this."
"Qing He has understood my reasoning and is now waiting to get married at home. Don't worry, Brother Jin."
As for Zhuang Qinghe's willingness to get married, she indeed stayed quietly at home. However, it was not known whether she had figured it out or not. Anyway, the last time she was beaten half to death made Zhuang Qinghe feel scared, and she dared not make any moves, especially not to provoke any dissatisfaction from Zhuang Rumen.
"Just stay at home and relax." Jin Quan took another sip of wine. "I came here today to see how Qing He is doing recently, and to talk about the betrothal gift from the Jia family."
"Didn't we agree on this before?" Zhuang Ruman was a little nervous when he heard this. "Could it be that the in-laws think it's inappropriate and want to give less?"
"That's not the case. The Kong family is extremely wealthy. How can they be interested in your one hundred taels of silver? What are you thinking?"
Jin Quan glanced at Zhuang Ruman, his eyes full of ridicule for Zhuang Ruman's petty-minded ideas.
"That's right, that's right..."
Zhuang Ruman looked embarrassed and laughed twice, "I was overthinking it, but Brother Jin said he wanted to talk about the betrothal gift again, what did he want to talk about?"
"As for the betrothal gift, the Jia family is thinking of doubling it," Jin Quan said with narrowed eyes.
Double it? Zhuang Ruman took a deep breath.
That's three hundred taels, three hundred taels! The family worked very hard all day long, but at the end of the year, they could only dig out a few taels of silver from the yellow earth. To be frank, these three hundred taels of silver were the money he could earn in his entire life.
From now on, there is no need to worry about the expenses of Zhuang Yuanren's studies. After Zhuang Qinghe marries him, she will live a life of luxury. Their family will get three hundred taels of silver at once. They can buy a big house and do some business in the future. They have so much money that they can never spend it all.
In the future, I can just take advantage of my in-laws and then I will have no worries about anything.
Zhuang Ruman rubbed his hands excitedly and praised, "The Kong family is really generous. Qinghe must have burned incense in her previous life. There must be smoke coming out of her ancestral grave."
"The Kong family has always been generous, so this little money is nothing."
Jin Quan narrowed his eyes, "But there is one thing I need to explain to you clearly, lest you find out about it later and blame me for it."
"What is it?"
"It's not a big deal, but Qinghe's marriage is probably a little different."
Jin Quan lowered his voice and said, "Didn't they say before that the only child of the Kong family was not in good health, so they let Qing He marry him to bring good luck, hoping that the poor fortune of the Kong family young master could be helped by Qing He's fortune, so that he could suppress the bad luck."
"In the past few days, the young master of the Kong family has gone..."
"Gone?" Zhuang Ruman almost cried out, "Brother, what do you mean by gone? Doesn't that mean Qinghe's marriage is over?"
If it was gone, the materials for the three hundred taels of silver would be gone. Wouldn't the Kong family no longer care about Zhuang Yuanren's studies in the future? Wouldn't their family have no good days in the future? Not only was it gone, but the Kong family's only child died before the wedding. Would they say that it was Zhuang Qinghe who killed him in the wedding? What if he came back to cause trouble for his family? Zhuang Ruman was like an ant on a hot pot. He turned around in a hurry, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Sit down, sit down." Jin Quan waved his hand and poured wine into the rough porcelain cup in front of Zhuang Ruman. "Come on, let's go."
"It's already this late, how can I still have the heart to drink?" Zhuang Ruman sat down, frowning, "The sky is about to fall!"
"Where is it going to collapse? Besides, if the sky collapses, there's a tall person to hold it up. What are you afraid of?"
Seeing that Zhuang Ruman wanted to say something, Jin Quan waved his hand to signal him not to speak, and then continued, "Everything has a solution. Is there any obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome?"
Zhuang Ruman saw that the situation seemed to be taking a turn for the better, and suddenly he became more energetic. "What do you mean?"
"Listen to this first, and don't rush to say it won't work, but don't rush to say it will work either. Think it over before you give me a reply."
Jin Quan said, "Look, the Kong family's only child is gone, a young man, who left without saying anything. He is alone in the underworld, helpless and helpless. Mr. Kong and his wife really can't bear it. Since they had already said they wanted to marry him, they thought of arranging a marriage for Mr. Kong so that someone would take care of him in the underworld."
"But for a mingled marriage, the most important thing is the age and horoscope. So Mr. Kong and his wife thought that since they had said that Qinghe's birth date and horoscope would be very compatible with Mr. Kong, they wanted Qinghe to be the daughter-in-law of the Kong family."
