Just when Chen Xuanxuan and Gu Yanzhang were thinking about how to live in the future, their whole family suddenly heard an explosive piece of news.

All the villagers, including the entire Gujiagang and Chenjia Village, were talking about it at this time. Because none of them had expected that the captain Huang, who had finally stood up from the bed, would actually ask a married man to marry him.

And the person being proposed to was also a woman they had been particularly familiar with for decades.

That woman was the old lady Liu, who had a strong personality and a tough style.

In everyone's mind, the old lady Liu was already quite old.

The most important thing was that she did not look young and beautiful at all. Instead, she looked a little old because she had given birth to so many children over the years.

Such an old lady with gray hair, wrinkles on her face, and a body that was getting fatter and fatter, was actually proposed to by a wealthy official in the county city... Not to mention the villagers were talking about it, even those in the county city were discussing it at this time.

Some old guys knew about the past of Old Lady Liu. In the hearts of them, those old men, Old Lady Liu was a mystery!

They really couldn't figure out how Old Lady Liu had such great abilities and why she always looked for such capable men. Moreover, the men she found were almost all younger.

It was okay that they were younger than her, but these men were particularly good to her. They were willing to spend money and work hard, and often listened to her nagging and her scolding.

The people in the village didn't understand what charm the old lady had. However, as Chen Xuanxuan, who had dealt with her a lot, she gradually realized that the relationship between her mother and her lovers in her life should be the kind of one-sided.

Chen Xuanxuan has read a lot of history books, and she knows that some famous men in history actually have a very serious Oedipus complex or sister complex.

These men like the kind of mature, stable, smart and wise older sister type of women.

For example, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian was originally the stepmother of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. Moreover, she was 4 years older than him.

For most people, it is hard to accept that a wife is 4 years older than her husband.

However, these are the views of the vulgar and lower class people.

For example, the imperial concubine Wanhuang of the Ming Dynasty was 19 years older than her husband.

Through the real stories of various celebrities in history, Chen Xuanxuan knows that it is not uncommon for a daughter-in-law to be older than her husband.

Chen Xuanxuan has a very good acceptance ability, but others find it hard to accept.

Especially those feudal old antiques who have lived in the village for many years and have never walked out.

This matter is obviously none of their business, but they are filled with righteous indignation and hatred at this time. It is as if their own wife has already given him countless green hats.

Regardless of whether these people have a good relationship or not, they all gathered together without any prior arrangement, stood directly at the east end of the village, and started discussing there.

Some people kept asking what should be done about this matter. They also said that this matter has already concerned the reputation of the people in their area.

Of course, the one at the center of this storm is the old lady Liu's man - Chen Decai.

In the past, Chen Decai could turn a blind eye to his wife's affairs. He really thought that it was nothing if his wife cheated on him a few times.

Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss!

What's more, the men his wife found were much better than him!

They were also a hundred times better than those men in the village!

More importantly, his wife has brought countless benefits to the family by finding a man like that, and has raised so many children in the family.

Therefore, Chen Decai sincerely thinks that his wife has done nothing wrong in this regard.

He used to think this way, and he still thinks this way now.

However, the only thing that makes him feel angry is that the man surnamed Huang should not have tried to pry his corner!

Chen Decai thought at this time that the man surnamed Huang dared to propose to his wife, which showed that he was really determined.

How could he agree to such a thing?

If such a thing was known by people in and outside the village, where would he put his face?

Besides, if he didn't have such a wife, wouldn't he have to be a bachelor in the future?

If he accidentally becomes a bachelor, who will take care of him when he is old? !

Chen Decai did not agree to Captain Huang's request right away, because he had weighed his interests very clearly.

He had already told the matchmaker sent by Captain Huang, want to marry his wife? Sure!

But he must pay a little more for the bride price!

In this way, he would feel a little more balanced in his heart.

The price Chen Decai offered was neither high nor low.

He actually wanted to ask for a high price. However, he knew in his heart that if he offered a sky-high price, he would have completely offended Captain Huang.

He could not ask for a high price, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart. After all, he sincerely felt that this wife was still quite useful.

His wife is his legitimate property.

So, after weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he offered a betrothal gift of 20 taels of silver.

Although Chen Decai had already made the mental preparation to give up his wife, he also knew that he couldn't give up his wife so obviously.

Because once he did so, people in the village and outside the village would laugh at him.

After all, those people were jealous of him!

They thought he had an easy life.

They always grumbled that he supported the whole family with his wife.

Chen Decai knew very well in his heart that those people actually wished that his wife had such great abilities and could find a few more capable men outside so that everyone in the family could eat meat every day.

Every time Chen Decai thought of those people's faces, he found it funny.

He had thought about it a long time ago. If the wives of those men could be sold at a high price, they were already quite good.

Still wanting to find a capable man?

That was simply a daydream!

...

Chen Decai was a well-known honest man. Now that such a thing happened, many villagers went to his house to watch the show under the guise of caring about him.
