"Mom, I'm serious. Daxue is wonderful. Although she's not the prettiest girl, she's the best girl in my heart!"
Wu Daniu nodded and answered his mother's question seriously.
Since his house was completed, when he walks on the village road, some girls who used to look down on him will come up to him from time to time, but he feels nothing at all.
These girls are all after his new house, not him as a person!
He can distinguish between sincerity and pretense!
Jiang Yue took a deep breath, patted Da Niu's shoulder with a serious expression, and said with a smile the next second:
"Good lad, you've chosen a fine girl for your mother without saying a word. Very good, very good. Later, your mother will go to Aunt Liu's house to propose marriage!"
Da Niu's marriage is progressing well, and next up is Er Gou.
"Thank you, Mother!"
Wu Daniu said excitedly, "I knew my mother would support me!"
Mother is the best mother in the whole world!
Wu Ergou, standing to the side, looked at his elder brother with envy. Sister Daxue was very virtuous and gentle. If his elder brother married Sister Daxue, she would definitely be as filial to their mother as the brothers!
Hey, where is his wife?
Wu Cao'er was confused, but she understood that Sister Daxue might be her sister-in-law!
Very good!
She also likes Sister Daxue!
"I'm hungry. You all cook first, and I'll go to my room to tidy up."
Jiang Yue stretched, thinking she couldn't very well go to Widow Liu's house alone.
It seems that Widow Liu visited her house once, but she hadn't formally paid her respects yet. Who would have thought that this first visit would be a marriage proposal! Haha~
Wu Daniu and Wu Ergou were used to cooking, so without saying a word, they worked together and busied themselves in the kitchen.
Wu Xiaocao is their younger sister, and they will prevent her from touching water if they can avoid it!
Little Grass loves her life now. She has loving elders, a loving mother, and loving brothers. She's so happy!
After a hurried dinner, under Da Niu's watchful eye, Jiang Yue carried a basket full of generous gifts and, together with Da Niu, headed to Widow Liu's house...
At this time, most people in the village were eating at home and few people came out to wander around, so there was no obstacle. The mother and son walked for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea before arriving at Widow Liu's house.
"Knock knock knock~"
Who is it?
“It is I, Jiang.”
"Oh, it's Aunt Jiang, please come in!"
The person who opened the door was Wu Daxue. The young girl had delicate features, a slender figure, and a smile as bright as a sunflower.
The moment Jiang Yue saw this girl, she felt an instant connection with her.
Seeing the other person's faded clothes again, I felt a pang of heartache.
"Young lady of the Jiang family, what's going on?"
When Widow Liu saw the person who had arrived, she stood up somewhat awkwardly to greet him.
When her parents-in-law saw that it was Jiang, they greeted her with smiles.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry for disturbing your family's meal, Sister Liu."
Jiang Yue glanced at the simple meal and thought to herself that it was the same food she ate when she first transmigrated.
It seems that it must be difficult for Widow Liu to support such a large family all by herself!
"Please have a seat."
At this moment, Wu Daxue brought over a stool and warmly invited her to sit down.
"The snow is so heavy, you're really working hard. Then please, Auntie, don't be shy, have a seat."
Jiang Yue praised him with a smile, then sat down on the stool.
As for her son, Da Niu, he can just stand there.
"I'm sorry, I've come at the wrong time and disturbed your meal."
"Not at all, we're just country folk, we don't care about those fancy things."
Seeing that Jiang was composed and her eyes kept glancing at her eldest daughter, Widow Liu had a guess in her mind, but she was not sure. So she began to deal with her.
"Uncle, Aunt, please don't look down on me for my bad reputation from before. I've changed for the better. You can ask Sister Liu if you don't believe me~"
Seeing that the family opposite was reserved, Jiang Yue smiled and tried to brush it off.
Amidst the laughter and conversation, the atmosphere among everyone became much more harmonious.
Taking the opportunity, Jiang Yuelai explained her intentions in detail:
"Everyone in the village knows what my family's situation is like. I've finally raised my children with great difficulty, and before I knew it, Da Niu has reached the age to get married. I'm so anxious about it!"
Widow Liu and her parents-in-law exchanged glances, both somewhat guessing the purpose of Jiang's visit.
In the past, given Chiang Kai-shek's reputation, they would have ignored him long ago.
Now, not only has Jiang's reputation improved, but she also helped her daughter-in-law earn a sum of money before that.
It's fair to say that their family still has enough to eat today thanks to the Chiang family!
Then look at the big ox behind Chiang Kai-shek; true to his name, he's as strong as a calf...
"Jiang Meizi, what do you mean?"
Widow Liu's heart was pounding; she wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't heard it with her own ears!
It's obvious that Chiang Kai-shek had both money and ability!
Didn't you see the new houses they just built for their sons not long ago?
"Sister Liu, I'm going to shamelessly ask you to propose marriage for my Da Niu. Could you please let your Da Xue marry my Da Niu? Don't worry, I'm not a wicked mother-in-law. I will never mistreat Da Xue, nor will I beat or scold her."
I also built a new house for Da Niu, so that the young couple can live independently once the door is closed.
We're all from the same village, so I'll talk to your family first. If you're willing, I'll ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage tomorrow.
I'm prepared to give twenty taels of silver as betrothal money. Don't think it's too little. I have three sons, and each of them needs to get married. It's quite a burden for me. Is this acceptable?
Jiang Yue's attitude was sincere, without any condescension or arrogance.
This is her first time becoming a mother, and she even personally proposed marriage for her son—this is the best sincerity she could think of!
"May we come inside and discuss this?"
After hearing what Jiang had said earlier, Widow Liu was already tempted!
She had wronged Daxue the most, and she had worried about what kind of family Daxue would marry into!
Honestly, no matter what kind of family it is, would they look down on someone as poor and destitute as her, who also has a child who is studying?
When she heard about the twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, she was already moved by Jiang's sincerity!
Who would give twenty taels of silver when they get married?
Undoubtedly, Jiang intended to subsidize her family; this was because she valued the heavy snow!
Not to mention Liu herself, even Liu's parents-in-law and Da Xue herself were stunned!
The family went back inside and discussed it in detail. More than a high dowry, they hoped that Daxue would marry well and live a good life!
"Mom, thank you!"
Wu Daniu was also moved by his mother's generosity. Twenty taels of silver was a dowry that no one in the village had ever spent so much on a wedding!
Mother did this for him, to give him dignity, and also to give Daxue dignity!
"Silly son, all I've done is hope that you and Daxue will have a happy future together, and that you'll remember to be filial to your mother."
Jiang Yue spends money without hesitation. This is all the compensation money from the original owner's husband. She spends it on the children. I believe the original owner's husband can rest in peace now.
