Hearing this, the younger Gu Erzhu also nodded heavily.

He had broadened his horizons today when he went to the west gate of Tongzhen.

Those groups of Wang family men quarreled and fought fiercely. It was scary.

"Mom, I don't think we are a good match with the Wang family. Our eldest brother must not find a wife like that. Otherwise, our family will have no good days in the future..."

Hearing her second son say this, Chen Xuanxuan replied without thinking, "I know the situation of the Wang family... Let's just rule out this family."

"By the way, head of the family, isn't there another family in this town?"

Gu Yanzhang nodded seriously after hearing this. "There is indeed one more. However, I don't think you will like it."

Chen Xuanxuan smiled and said, "You didn't even tell me, how do you know I don't like it?"

"Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me. We have to take advantage of the fact that we still have some savings at home and make some money to settle the marriages for our two sons. In this way, we can make plans and arrangements to build a few new houses for our two sons..."

Gu Yanzhang saw that his two older sons had smiles on their faces. He shook his head and spoke slowly.

"That family is somewhat related to my sworn brother, Ma Ergou, who carries bags for others every day in the county town."

"The men in his family are relatively decent. The whole family is well-known for being honest. In fact, the men in their family are the same as ours before. During the busy farming season, they farm in their hometown every day. During the leisure time, they carry bags in Tongzhen every day. All the men and women in the family are working at the dock now! The conditions are not very good, and there is no guarantee of three meals a day. However, it seems that his family will not sell their daughters..."

Chen Xuanxuan frowned subconsciously when she heard this.

Because in her mind, the three words "honest man" are the key words in life.

What is an honest man?

A man who has no ability, no talent, and can only bully others is called an honest man.

Thinking of the honest men she had met before, Chen Xuanxuan patiently inquired carefully.

"What is the surname of this girl? Where is her hometown? Are they working in the town now? How many people are there in the family? What is the temper of the man in his family? Does he like domestic violence?"

Seeing that his wife had so many questions at the beginning, Gu Yanzhang immediately mistakenly thought that she was really interested.

So, he thought about it seriously and replied slowly.

"Her family name is also Ma. Her hometown is in Bailipo, near the county town. There are many people in the family but little land. There are more than 50 people in the family, but only ten acres of land."

"As for whether her husband has a good temper, whether there is domestic violence,... I don't know about that. But I know Ma Ergou. Since he dared to let his wife's brother-in-law come over, it means that there should be no problem in his family..."

Chen Xuanxuan looked at him very strangely after hearing this.

She felt that the filter he had for his friend was too heavy.

This is called no problem?

There are obviously too many problems!

There are many people and little land, and resources are limited. There must be a lot of disputes in the family under normal circumstances.

In addition, living in this place, the problem of favoring boys over girls is unavoidable.

In order to concentrate as many resources as possible to support their sons, some people would consciously restrict the food of their daughters.

Let them eat less and work more.

Thinking that the other family has too many people and their own family has too few people, once the two families have a conflict, she, as a mother-in-law, is likely to be beaten to the ground by the people on the side of her daughter-in-law. Chen Xuanxuan shook her head lightly and felt that this family was not suitable...

After all, the family burden of the Ma family was too heavy.

If his family wanted to borrow food or money to marry a daughter-in-law, if her family did not agree, it would really be unacceptable in this closed and backward place where interpersonal relationships were particularly valued.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuanxuan told them frankly, "I really don't think this Ma family is suitable..."

"Well, if we want to live a quiet life, we should change families..."

Hearing this, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but say, "Wife, the Ma family actually only has one daughter-in-law of the right age. The rest of the daughters-in-law have been married off long ago."

Chen Xuanxuan listened and said calmly, "Doesn't his family have a lot of sons?"

"Is there no division of the family?"

"Are there more than ten children of the same age as our son?"

Gu Yanzhang asked in surprise when he heard his wife speak, "Wife, how did you know?"

He hadn't even explained the problem clearly, but his wife had guessed all these details...

Thinking that the man who came to introduce him was a man, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but frown.

"Wife, did that man surnamed Cheng approach you on purpose?"

Chen Xuanxuan was annoyed when she heard this. She slapped him hard and started to get angry.

"What's wrong? Are you suspecting that I'm cheating on you? Didn't you notice that day whether he approached me or not?"

"Every time there's a man in this family, you always keep a close eye on me?"

"Gu Yanzhang, let me tell you, if the day comes when I'm going to cheat on you, I'll tell you directly! You don't have to guess here every day..."

Seeing Chen Xuanxuan's rage, and she was raging in front of her children, Gu Yanzhang felt that he was a little embarrassed.

He didn't say anything just now, wasn't it just some random questions?

Does his wife need to be like this?

Gu Yanzhang thought about it and felt a little wronged.

So, he suddenly grabbed Chen Xuanxuan's hands and said, "Wife, I was just teasing you, why are you so angry?"

Chen Xuanxuan was even more upset

after hearing this. "Were you teasing me just now? You were obviously testing me on purpose, you just didn't believe me!"

At this point, Chen Xuanxuan's eyes turned red, and she said aggrievedly, "We have been married for decades, what kind of person am I, don't you know?"

"If I were the type who would fall in love with every girl I met, your head would have turned green long ago. Why would you have to wait until now?"

Seeing his wife's unreasonable look, Gu Yanzhang could only coax her in a gentle voice.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong. I just said the wrong thing. My wife, I'm sorry, I won't do this again next time..."

Chen Xuanxuan also knew to stop while she was ahead.

Especially in front of her children, she still had to give him some face.

So, after nodding, she gently shook his hand back and changed the subject in a soft voice, "What I just said were all my guesses."

"Anyone who has lived to my age and has a clear mind can generally guess the situation in his family." "
