The Shen family in the west of the city is a wealthy family in Puning City.
It is said that the Shen family is not local, and their ancestors were gentry from other places. Because they fell into poverty, Old Master Shen came to Puning City.
Fortunately, he also inherited some talent for business. By reselling grain, he gradually made a name for himself in Puning City. Later, he married the daughter of Zheng, the owner of a winery in the city, and settled down there.
With the help of the Yue family, the business grew bigger and bigger. Not only did he open several grain stores, he also took over the Zheng family's winery.
Zheng gave birth to two sons for him. The eldest son is the current head of the family, Shen Changfu, who married the daughter of Zhouji Silk and Satin Shop in the city, who is now Mrs. Shen.
At this moment, Mrs. Shen was sitting in the hall with a furious look on her face.
She slammed the cup down on the table, and the tea spilled out.
"A bunch of useless people! They can't even do this!"
A middle-aged man knelt below, looking like a manager. "Madam, calm down. It's not that we're not doing our job properly, but this rumor is all over the city. When we ask, everyone says they heard it from someone else. We can't find the source. And it's useless for us to explain it alone. The more we talk, the more people will think we're being impatient, and they'll even wonder if it's true..."
The man paused, then continued, "The only solution is to quickly get the three young masters married and have a little young master. Then the rumors will be dispelled!"
This is said lightly, but now that there are rumors that it will affect offspring, who would dare to use their own daughter to try it? This is a lifetime of happiness.
Madam Shen frowned and thought for a moment before she ordered, "Go down! Invite three of the best matchmakers in the city to come to me!"
Most of the families in the west of the city, as well as the wealthy families in the city who pay attention to the movements of the Shen family, and those who love gossip, all know that the three young masters of the Shen family were born from the womb of Madam Shen, the mistress of the Shen family.
A mother is honored by her son, and she almost lost her life when giving birth!
Therefore, Madam Shen is like a god in this mansion!
She has the final say on all matters big and small at home. If she frowns, the whole family will be in turmoil!
The two concubines in the mansion always lowered their heads and looked at her in a submissive manner, just like mice seeing a cat.
She also controlled Master Shen very strictly. He had to report and get her approval every time he went to the concubine's room several times a month.
That’s not all, she also has to interfere in every detail of her three sons’ affairs.
Anyway, he's a person with a bad reputation.
Those who knew something about her family situation and were from well-off families were unwilling to marry their daughters to her, thinking that with such a strong mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law would be tortured to no end.
Naturally, the Shen family looked down upon those from ordinary families.
Now there is news that her son has a physical illness, which may make it even more difficult for him to find a wife.
In the north of the city, Dr. Zhang from the Zhang Clinic happened to know something about her family's situation.
When Mrs. Shen gave birth, she had a difficult delivery, so almost all the doctors in the city were invited.
It's just that his clinic is small and his medical skills are not well-known, so it's not his turn to speak. If you go there, you will just have to stand outside for half the night!
Later, whenever there was any news about the Shen family, I would subconsciously listen to it.
At this moment, his daughter Zhang Xinyue said that if the Shen family came to propose marriage, his parents must agree!
"What did you say? Say it again?"
Doctor Zhang widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Xinyue.
Zhang Xinyue repeated loudly, "I say, if the Shen family from the west city comes to propose marriage, Daddy must agree!"
Her mother, Liu Xiaocui, quickly stepped forward and tried to cover her mouth. "My little ancestor, please keep your voice down. Are you ashamed?"
Her father frowned and refused outright, "No!"
Zhang Xinyue shouted unconvinced, "Why?"
His father opened his mouth and looked at Liu Xiaocui with a complicated expression, "Let your mother tell you!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinyue said nonchalantly, "Dad, I heard about what you said, but I don't believe it!"
That didn't happen at all. Those three just made up a rumor!
"You don't believe it! I do! It's just not possible!"
Doctor Zhang was a little anxious. The three sons of the Shen family were born with difficult labor and were weak after they were born. The Shen family hired a doctor to take care of them every day, and it took half a year to develop their bodies into normal babies. He had reason to suspect that the health of Mr. Shen was fundamentally not good!
Her mother, Liu Xiaocui, rolled her eyes, pulled her close, and asked softly, "Did you go to the Flower Festival a few days ago and see Mr. Shen? Or did you run into Madam Shen? What did she say? Why did you suddenly come back and want to marry into the Shen family?"
The wealth of the Shen family is beyond the reach of a small family like theirs. Their own clinic can only support a large family. Although her mother's family runs a small restaurant and their business is good, it is not even close to that of the Shen family.
However, if her daughter has this ambition, it is not impossible for her to try her best for this blessing.
"Mother, what are you thinking? The Flower Festival is full of women, where can I see Master Shen? I just met two good sisters. We agreed that we don't ask to be born on the same day, but to marry on the same day!"
"It will be good for me to have someone to take care of me in my husband's family from now on!"
"Ahem~"
Her mother coughed. This little girl's thoughts are simple and they still take care of each other. But the sisters-in-law in this family are always fighting with each other. No matter how good the relationship is before marriage, it will be broken once interests are involved!
What's more, you've only known each other for one day and have become instant best friends!
"Why do you think his family will come to propose marriage?"
Zhang Xinyue leaned close to her mother's ear and said, "Mom, if no one comes, you can just ask someone to tell her family that we are willing to marry our daughter there, isn't that all!"
