Chapter 76 I think the two children are a good match
Zhou Wu's mother and Xun's mother didn't have to wait long before Mrs. Wei and her two daughters-in-law came back from the stream carrying basins of laundry.
Xing Xing called out "Grandma" and happily went to greet them, and passed a message to Grandma Wei: "...Grandma, Fifth Aunt and Grandma Xun are here to see you."
When Mrs. Wei saw Xun's mother, she was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Wu Niang was a little embarrassed and smiled: "...Auntie, my cousin wants to talk to you again."
Xun's mother was already 80% satisfied with the Yu family at this point, and nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
We need to have a good chat.
Although Mrs. Wei didn't know what else to talk about, she turned around and told Li Chunhua and Su Rouer to pull up the clothesline and hang out the clothes.
Li Chunhua and Su Rouer agreed and started working efficiently.
Mother Xun looked carefully at the expressions of her two daughters-in-law, Li Chunhua and Su Rouer, and saw that they looked normal, which showed that they usually listened to their mother-in-law's instructions.
The side also showed that the mother-in-law, Mrs. Wei, usually treated her daughters-in-law well. Otherwise, the two daughters-in-law would definitely show it on their faces.
Xun's mother became more and more happy.
Mother Wei led Zhou Wuniang and Xun's mother into the house and said, "Please sit down. I will go get you some water."
Mrs. Wei poured water for the two of them. Mother Xun looked at Zhou Wuniang's expression and saw that Zhou Wuniang didn't seem to be planning to say anything for her. After drinking a few sips of water, she simply spoke for herself: "Sister Wei, I came here today because of the two children..."
Mrs. Wei first glanced at Zhou Wu's mother.
She felt that she had made it very clear to Zhou Wu's mother.
Zhou Wu's mother then smiled and said, "Auntie, I think I might be the one passing the message. The meanings of both sides might be a little off. It would be better if you talk to my cousin face to face. Look at my cousin, she has come over several mountains to come here, which shows her sincerity."
However, Xun's mother couldn't help but murmur in her heart, this Friday, really, what's the point of saying all this, doesn't it just show how much she, as the woman, is rushing forward?
But she still had a smile on her face, and said to Mrs. Wei, "...I actually think the two children are a good match. My daughter is pretty, and your youngest is also a good-looking man. Plus, they are of similar ages...We've only met once, isn't it a little early to say whether they are a good match or not?"
When Mrs. Wei heard this, she complained in her heart, what kind of nonsense is this? Since when has being of similar age ever been considered a reason?
However, although she was somewhat disapproving in her heart, Mrs. Wei spoke very nicely to save her face. She probably just praised Xun's mother's daughter as being very outstanding. She praised her for more than ten sentences. But then she changed the subject and said that her son's situation was special and so on. She really didn't want to delay your daughter.
The smile on Xun's mother's face gradually disappeared, and the corners of her mouth drooped a little.
Her tone was a little stiff: "Your son's situation is special, and it's not just these two days. It's meaningless to use this as an excuse. You keep refusing like this, do you really look down on my daughter?"
In Xun's mother's eyes, although Yu Siyang is good and the Yu family is good, it is also a blessing for the Yu family that she and her daughter like Yu Siyang and the Yu family.
But the Yu family didn’t know how to cherish this blessing!
Xun's mother emphasized: "... Don't you think your son, in his situation, can still marry a rich lady?"
That's not a very nice thing to say.
Even Zhou Wu's mother's expression changed slightly. She pulled Xun's mother's sleeve implicitly, signaling her to stop talking.
Mrs. Wei's face fell and her tone became cold: "Marriage is a matter of mutual consent and a marriage between two families. Your daughter has always said that my son is a fool, and now she comes here and thinks we look down on her? ... How dare we look down on her? Don't worry, even if my son never finds a wife in his life, we will not marry a woman who despises our family."
Having said that, it is indeed impossible to succeed.
Xun's mother's face turned pale and she turned and left.
"Hey, cousin, hey!"
Zhou Wu Niang chased for two steps, but seeing that Xun's mother was walking very fast, she simply felt too lazy to chase after her. She turned around and apologized to Wei Pozi, "...Auntie, don't be angry. Actually, my cousin is usually very easy to get along with. It's just that she and my cousin both like Si Yang very much, so she may not be able to accept it for a while..."
Mrs. Wei said calmly, "Originally, if one of the two parties is not satisfied, it is normal for the marriage to fail. Your cousin is quite interesting. We are not satisfied, but she makes it seem like we are being too generous... Maybe she thinks her daughter is a hot commodity, and since she is lucky enough to like us, we must agree?"
Mrs. Wei sneered.
Dislike her son for being a fool?
Her family hasn't yet given up on the fact that the girl from the Xun family is lame!
Zhou Wu's mother saw that Mrs. Wei was obviously angry, so she tried not to persuade her any more. She apologized a few more times and then quickly said goodbye to chase after Xun's mother.
Mrs. Wei curled her lips.
Xing Xing, who was watching the whole process, was confused the whole time.
She was still too young to understand the hidden meaning behind the adults' seemingly nice words.
Seeing her beloved granddaughter's ignorant look, Grandma Wei finally felt a little relieved. She hugged Xingxing and smiled softly, "My dear granddaughter, even though your fourth uncle said he can't get married... but grandma still thinks it would be great if your fourth uncle could get married."
Xing Xing said earnestly: "Don't worry, Grandma, Fourth Uncle will definitely marry a very pretty Fourth Auntie in the future!"
Mrs. Wei burst out laughing. After hearing Xingxing's comfort, she felt much better.
Just go with the flow!
It was enough for her that her youngest son was healthy.
…
On this day, Yu Sanbao, who had gone to the state capital to purchase goods for business, came back.
He has been running around outside these days and has lost a lot of weight and his complexion has become much darker.
But his eyes were bright and sharp, and it was obvious that he had gained a lot.
"I spent a few days in the state capital, and bought a batch of cloth of good quality and not very expensive to test the waters. I then transported the cloth to a county town a little further away. After deducting the transportation fee and labor fee, I was able to earn eight cents per piece of cloth! I transported a total of thirty pieces of cloth, and each time I traded, I earned two hundred and forty cents! When I become more experienced in the business, I will definitely earn more than this price!"
At the dinner table, Yu Sanbao excitedly told some funny stories about his work as a dealer, which made the Yu family members nervous at one moment and burst into laughter at another.
Especially Bo Ge'er.
His eyes lit up and he listened attentively without even eating.
This time during the meal, he deliberately sat next to Ju Ge'er so that he could be closer to his uncle.
Ever since Yu Sanbao started talking, he hasn't eaten a single bite of food.
Yu Sanbao also noticed Bo Ge'er. He walked past Ju Ge'er and patted Bo Ge'er on the shoulder: "Study hard first, and I'll come back to find out the way and take you there!"
Boger was extremely excited and nodded repeatedly.
Yu Daniu was also relieved in his heart. Since he was young, Bo Ge'er has been particularly interested in arithmetic and buying and selling, but he has been a farmer all his life and has no knowledge of business. If the third brother is willing to take care of Bo Ge'er, it will be a good thing.
