Chapter 168 Let's Pick Her
Yu Sanbao shook the pieces of thin paper that Old Lady Liu had someone send him.
"What does the old lady mean?" Yu Sanbao was a little puzzled. "At first glance, these marriages all sound pretty good?"
But Wei Sanniang had almost fallen into a trap before, and now she was suspicious of everything: "Is it that all of these look good, but what are the flaws behind them?"
You really can't blame her for not trusting Old Lady Liu.
When the first wife was making trouble for Yuanfeng's marriage, Old Lady Liu didn't say a word.
It is obvious that he is tolerant.
Would you be kind enough to introduce such a good marriage to her Yuanfeng now?
Wei Sanniang shook her head.
Not to mention Wei Sanniang, even Liu Yuanfeng didn't believe it.
Although the elders were talking about his marriage, Liu Yuanfeng did not avoid suspicion. He was not embarrassed at all. He just shook his head and said very straightforwardly: "My old man will not care about me. This may be another list submitted by the eldest wife. It looks luxurious and splendid, but it is actually rotten inside."
It has been twenty years, and he is no longer sad about his father's obvious favoritism.
When Wei Sanniang saw that her son spoke casually about his father's coldness, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.
"Okay, it's nothing. We still have to stay in the state capital for a few days, so we might as well ask Yuanfeng about it." Mrs. Wei made the final decision.
That's how it's settled.
Mother Wei and Wei Sanniang chatted idly until the sun set. Just as Mother Wei was about to say goodbye, a maid from the main house came over and said that there was little space in the house and there were many female relatives, so it was not convenient to keep the guest.
Wei Sanniang, who was made of clay, was also angry at this moment.
She was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Mrs. Wei held her down.
Why should you be angry with a maid who comes to deliver messages?
The eldest wife has been behaving like that for a long time.
Besides, they had already rented an inn outside and had no plans to live in Liu's house.
Wei Sanniang was silent for a long time, and finally let out a helpless sigh.
When Wei Sanniang was seeing off Wei Pozi and the others, because the Liu family was not very big, she ran into the eldest wife, Dalin, on the corridor again.
Dalin had sent a group of relatives out earlier, but Dalin's family members were still living in the guest house next door.
At this moment, Dalin was walking in the yard with her sister from her natal family.
When she saw Wei Sanniang, Dalin just curled her lips and called her "old lady".
Seeing that Wei Sanniang didn't want to pay attention to her, Dalin smiled even more and even took the initiative to ask, "Is Auntie leaving? ... There's really nothing we can do. There are so many poor relatives who come to our house every day to ask for money. We really can't accommodate them all."
Both Wei Sanniang and Wei Pozi showed some anger on their faces.
Xingxing had met Dalin before, but she had never met the man next to Dalin.
She asked out of curiosity, "So...Auntie, are the people around you the poor relatives who come to ask for money?"
Quiet...
Dalin and the woman beside her changed their expressions instantly.
Sometimes it's blue, sometimes it's white, it's really ugly.
Mrs. Wei tried hard to hold back her laughter, pulled Xingxing, and said meaningfully, "My little granddaughter has been smart since she was young, but she is still young. If she said something unpleasant, please forgive me, Madam."
After Mrs. Wei said this, Dalin and her sister's faces became even uglier.
What are the words "smart since childhood" and "unpleasant to the ear"? Isn't that just short of saying that there is nothing wrong with what her granddaughter said, it's just unpleasant to the ear? !
The Dalin family is really about to make two Buddhas appear and one Buddha ascend to heaven!
Especially her younger sister, according to Dalin's standards, she was definitely here to beg for money.
He brought some small gifts, but stayed at Liu's house and ate and drank for free. When he leaves after a few days, he will definitely bring another big gift with him.
If this isn't extortion, then what is it?
Dalin's sister was accidentally hit in the sore spot by Xingxing.
Dalin's face also looked very ugly.
This is her own sister. How can it be considered as extortion when her own sister comes to visit relatives? !
She was about to refute, but suddenly it occurred to her - wait, isn't this old hag named Wei also her stepmother-in-law's biological sister?
Dalin's face looked even worse.
Wei Sanniang looked at Dalin's expression and felt very happy.
Even after Wei Sanniang sent Wei Po and the others out the door and returned to her own room, she sat for a while and couldn't help laughing when she thought of Dalin's expression at that time.
In the next few days, Mrs. Wei took Yu Sanbao, Su Rouer, and the maid Shuangyun to inquire about the marriage arrangements that Old Lady Liu had arranged for Liu Yuanfeng.
Sometimes Ju Ge'er and Xing Xing would go out with the adults and stroll around the state capital with them.
Life is pretty happy.
Ju Ge'er even used his own New Year's gift money to buy Xing Xing some colorful jewelry.
Xingxing likes it very much and wears it on her head all day long.
Ju Ge'er was very satisfied and thought his sister was as beautiful as a fairy.
Su Rouer watched, feeling deeply disappointed at her son's beauty.
Red matches green...it's because Xingxing is young and cute that she looks a little more childish when she wears it, so it doesn't look too abrupt.
The investigation lasted for three whole days, and Yu Sanbao even used some of his connections that he had previously built up in the provincial capital.
It turns out that the marriages that Old Lady Liu mentioned are actually... pretty good?
"As a father, I won't harm my son, right?" Su Rouer hesitated, "Could it be that we thought too badly of Mr. Liu?"
Yu Sanbao sighed, "The first wife bullied my third aunt and my cousin before. Do you think Mr. Liu didn't know? I don't believe it. But he didn't say anything and just let the first wife do what she did. Now he suddenly says that the marriages he introduced are all excellent ones?"
We all understand the reason, that's why we are so hesitant at this moment.
Mrs. Wei went to the Liu family again and told Wei Sanniang about this matter.
Wei Sanniang, who had suffered enough, made a decision about her son's marriage. She decided that since she couldn't find out anything, she might as well just meet the man directly.
Liu Yuanfeng didn't care about this.
She was even less interested in studying what kind of strangely colored head ornaments Ju Ge'er had bought for Xing Xing.
As a result, Wei Sanniang took the vicious-eyed Wei Po to look for a girl for her son. They looked at her three times at different times of the day. The more they looked, the more frightened and unbelievable they felt.
It’s not that the woman is bad—it’s that all women are so normal!
Finally, the girl who met Xingxing in the afternoon also became interested in the colorful hairpin on her head, and even asked Xingxing in a low voice where she bought it.
Xing Xing puffed out her chest proudly and pointed at Ju Ge'er who was sitting next to Su Rou'er and eating melon seeds: "Ju Ge'er bought it for me!"
The girl praised their "deep brother-sister love" and immediately went to ask Brother Orange where he bought it.
Liu Yuanfeng felt that this girl was very much what he wanted, and said to Wei Sanniang, "Let's go with her."
