"Sister Yang, my second son's wife has chosen that boy from the Jiang family. I'll leave the rest to you to take care of."
Old Zhou had a good impression of her third son's wife's brother and sister-in-law. In her memory, the brother was an upright and reliable person, and the sister-in-law was gentle, virtuous, and sensible!
A son raised by such a family is bound to be quite good.
"Hey, leave this to me."
Matchmaker Yang grinned, saying that by arranging a marriage, she had done a great deed and would even earn money as a matchmaker!
"Young Master, what's your decision?"
Old Mrs. Zhou asked her eldest daughter-in-law, who was still thinking, "I have my own ideas, but I respect your choice."
“Mother, I’ve thought it over. I’d like to take Da Shi to see the daughters of the first and third families. As for the second family, we won’t go.”
Madam Zhou couldn't decide which of her two daughters was more suitable for her son, Da Shi, but she would absolutely not consider Zhang Li'er!
"Alright, leave this to me. I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly."
Upon hearing this, Matchmaker Yang made a plan. As expected, she didn't choose Zhang Li'er. Although the girl was pretty, her temper and family situation were both unfavorable...
Old Mrs. Zhou went back into the house to get the red envelope and handed it to Matchmaker Yang. The happiness of her grandchildren would depend on this young woman's hard work!
The matchmaker, Yang, declined a couple of times, but then accepted the money. She called out, and the coachman emerged from the outhouse, his face blue with cold…
"Giddy up!"
"Da da da~"
The oxcart drove further and further away until it disappeared from sight, and then the four women, including Old Zhou and her daughters-in-law, returned to the main room to discuss their matters.
"Although the matchmaker revealed the general situation, just in case, we still want the children to meet again on their own."
"Yes, Mother is right. Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. When Da Shi comes back, I will have him stay at home for the next few days so that he doesn't miss the day to meet girls."
"Yes, sister-in-law is right. My daughter is getting on in years, and her father and I are so worried. Luckily, a matchmaker came to our door. If we can arrange it, my sister-in-law and I will be even closer relatives!"
"Ahem, Second Sister-in-law, the child raised by my brother and sister-in-law is definitely not bad, but this is a matter for the little girl's entire life, so I won't say more, to avoid suspicion~"
"Sigh, I understand. Whether it works out or not, our feelings for each other won't change."
"Mmm~"
"Big brother's wife, go get a bowl of pickled mustard greens, third brother's wife loves them~"
"Okay, I'm going right now!"
......
Jiang Yue took the pickled vegetables home and gave them to Da Xue, who would stir-fry them with meat that evening.
"Mom, my husband has caught a cold, I'm thinking of going back to my parents' house later to check on him."
Da Xue took the pickled vegetables and said worriedly, "My younger sister just came to deliver vegetables and let it slip."
"It's a cold, have you seen a doctor?"
She needs to be taken good care of. Here's what I'll do: I'll go back to my room to get some medicine, and I'll go back with you to see her later.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue frowned. These days, most people who catch a cold resort to folk remedies. Young people are fine, but older people suffer a lot.
After all, the two families are related by marriage, and she couldn't just sit idly by. It was only a few steps to her daughter-in-law's house.
"Thank you, Mother~"
Da Xue's face lit up with joy, and she was extremely grateful.
A moment later, Jiang Yue and her mother-in-law left the house together.
"Woof woof woof~"
Little White followed along and ran happily through the snow.
Upon arriving at Daxue's maternal home, after exchanging pleasantries, Daxue's grandmother and mother warmly welcomed Jiang's arrival.
"Oh, sister, I'm so sorry, I've bothered you."
"Hey, why are we being so polite? How's Grandpa Daxue doing?"
"The other night, the old man got up to use the outhouse, and slipped and fell on his way back. He didn't say anything when he came back, but he didn't get out of bed the next morning. Later we found out his calf was swollen quite badly..."
Have you seen a doctor yet?
"Not yet. The roads are slippery from the snow, so it's not easy to go out. Besides, it's not convenient for the doctor to come over."
"Foolish! Why didn't you come to my house? We could have had Brother Qingshan take the old man to town for medical treatment in an oxcart!"
"Ahem, it was all my fault for telling them not to. I was afraid it would cause trouble for your family, so I didn't let them say anything."
Lying on his bed, the sickly Wu Dama spoke, saying, "I'm getting old, and I'm afraid of causing trouble for the younger generation. But no matter how I try to hide it, I'm still causing them trouble..."
After hearing her grandfather's words, Daxue couldn't stop her tears from flowing. Seeing her grandfather struggling to get up, she quickly went to him.
"Sir, please don't move, be careful not to tear your wound."
"Grandpa Daxue, please lie down. I brought some medicine powder. Drink it first."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue sighed inwardly. Although she understood, she did not agree.
He gestured for Daxue to prepare the medicine powder, which was made from ground fever-reducing tablets. It was a bit bitter when brewed, but it would work.
Then, turning to Grandma Daxue, who looked anxious, he said:
"Please help Grandpa Daxue put on some warm clothes. I'll go find Brother Wu Jiahu and ask him to come and take the old man to town to see a doctor."
"Okay, okay, I'll go find some clothes right away."
Granny Li nodded and turned to rummage through the chests and cabinets.
"Hey, Sister Jiang, I'll go with you."
As if she had found a pillar of support, Liu followed suit without saying a word.
This was her own family matter, yet it alarmed her daughter and mother-in-law to come and help. She is such an incompetent daughter-in-law.
"kindness."
Jiang Yue nodded. Since Liu was willing to take on the task, why wouldn't she be happy to?
Fortunately, Wu Jiahu hadn't been out recently. When his wife heard that Liu's father-in-law was sick and urgently needed to see a doctor, she immediately told her husband to go and help.
Wu Jiahu has cooperated with the Jiang family many times, and his family is also currently growing medicinal herbs. Therefore, he has an inescapable responsibility to do so.
So, cotton quilts were laid on the oxcart, and an extra winter quilt was placed over the old woman. After locking the door, Liu and her daughter-in-law got on the oxcart, insisting that Jiang didn't have to make the trip. They were a good match.
As for Xiaoxue, Jiang Yue instructed Daxue to take the little girl home and let her sleep in the same room as Yaoyao at night.
Although Xiaoxue is young, she is very sensible. Seeing that everyone in the family is busy taking care of her grandfather, she quietly hides to the side without saying a word.
She was initially a little scared about having to stay home alone, but now she can stay at her older sister's in-laws' house...
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang."
"Mother~"
Da Xue held her younger sister's hand, looked at her mother-in-law, and felt extremely grateful. Her mother-in-law was so kind.
"Woof woof woof~"
It was freezing cold, and even though Little White had fur, it couldn't withstand being in the cold wind for so long and started crying out that it wanted to go home.
"Let's go home and warm up."
After watching the oxcart leave, Jiang Yue called to the Da Xue sisters to go home.
Hopefully, Liu and the others will recover from their illnesses at Huichuntang and return safely...
