After receiving the money, Chen Xuanxuan told her mother and the clan leader Gu Yuxi that her family wanted to ask someone to help build a courtyard wall for her family. They
also wanted to build three new houses.
By then, everyone would be able to have two meals a day, with enough food!
If they could help build the new house and the wall for her family as soon as possible, she would give each family a pound of meat!
When the poor people in Gujiagang and Chenjiacun heard this, they howled with joy.
Then, they began to find Chen Xuanxuan and say all kinds of good things to her.
Chen Xuanxuan has lived to this age, but she never thought that the seemingly simple and innocent country people would be particularly sincere when they flatter others. Moreover, the baskets of good words were never repeated.
Thinking of these people's attitudes before, Chen Xuanxuan felt bored. Let Gu Yanzhang deal with these people.
And Wang the butcher, who dragged 600 kilograms of fat pork back to the county, told his wives happily when he got home in the evening. "Hahaha, it's really great, our daughter's life event has finally been settled!"
Wang the butcher's wives all looked to be in their thirties or forties. Because of the good living conditions at home, they had meat to eat every day and every meal. They all loved eating meat, so they were all fat and happy.
Now that they heard that the head of the family was back, they all waved their fat arms and rushed out of the house.
"Head, don't talk nonsense! Can our daughter's life event really be solved?"
The whole family of the Wang family was so anxious about the marriage of his little daughter, Wang Tuantuan, that their hair turned white.
Wang Tuantuan, as her name suggests, looks like a dough ball. She is less than 1.6 meters tall, but weighs more than 130 kilograms.
She looks round, especially her waist, which has become cylindrical. When she was little, some children around her always liked to call her Wang Tiezhu. As time went by, she became inferior.
Since she was seven years old, she didn't like to go out to play. In the past ten years, she has always stayed in the house. She has never been far away.
When Wang Tuantuan heard her father talking about her marriage, she felt particularly unhappy.
"Dad, I told you before that I won't get married! I won't get married in my life! I would rather cut my hair and become a nun than get married!"
Wang the Butcher was unhappy when he heard his daughter talking nonsense again. "What do you mean by becoming a nun? Don't say such things in front of me. You are young and beautiful, and it will be easy for your father to find you a perfect husband!"
"Don't worry, you are my daughter and I am your father. I will not harm you. I have been looking for a suitable person for you all these days. Look, we have a good chance. The family I am going to kill a pig for today lives a pretty good life, and their people are also pretty good. If you marry their son, you will enjoy a happy life in the future!"
Wang Tuantuan felt very upset when she heard this. "What do you mean by enjoying life or not, dad? You are already this old, why do you still say these things?"
"Ask yourself, in our place, whose daughter-in-law is not beaten and scolded?... Don't look at my young age, in fact, I have already seen clearly that if a woman wants to live a good life, she must have a good relationship with a man and not marry..."
Seeing that his daughter started to talk nonsense again, the upset Wang the Butcher said to her.
"My daughter, can you listen to me first? Let's not talk about your not getting married. I will tell you first how good the conditions of the Gu family are."
Without waiting for his daughter-in-law and daughter to speak, Wang the Butcher suddenly poured himself a cup of tea, gulped it down, and after drinking it, he raised his hand to wipe his mouth.
"The Gu family actually lives in Gujiagang. His family is small, with only about 10 people now. His family is in really good condition. Last year, they raised 12 fat pigs, each weighing three to four hundred kilograms. Moreover, his family has more than 100 acres of land. Every year, after selling the glutinous rice produced, they can earn at least dozens of taels of silver. The most important thing is that his daughter-in-law has several good skills that can be used to pass on the family business! If our daughter-in-law marries there and learns some real things from her, then we won't have to worry about our children and grandchildren in the future..."
Huang Tufu's daughters-in-law are all people who are used to being thrifty.
One of the daughters-in-law helps him manage his finances, another helps him run a small restaurant. And another daughter-in-law helps him manage the accounts at home and outside.
Although it is said that three women are one drama, these three women have lived together for decades, and they have feelings and tacit understanding.
Of course, the main reason why these three women get along so well is that the Wang family has no son.
If Wang the Butcher cannot give birth to a son in this life, then the women can only think of all means to train the two daughters.
In this way, once Wang the Butcher has something wrong, the three of them can still rely on the daughters to support them in their old age.
Thinking of them at this time, when they heard Wang the butcher say that the family surnamed Gu was very rich, had more than 100 mu of land, and raised 12 big fat pigs, and the mistress of the family was also a skilled cook, they were immediately tempted.
"Master, the family you just mentioned seems to be richer than ours!"
Wang the butcher nodded heavily after hearing this. "Of course, their family is much richer than ours, because their connections are stronger than ours!"
"Don't look at me as if my ancestors were chiefs in the tribe. But we also fled from the north. Our family was too poor, and when I was young I could only help my dad and make a living outside."
Speaking of the past, Wang the Butcher's mood suddenly became a little bad.
Just as he was distracted, Wang Tuantuan, who was listening attentively at this time, interrupted and said, "Dad, can you tell me more?"
"What is the character of his family? How many people are there in the family? Who is married and who is not?... Dad, if I really get married, how much dowry do you plan to ask for and how much dowry do you plan to give me?"
Hearing his little lady asking so many questions in one breath, Wang the butcher was surprised for a moment, and then he smiled happily.
