When the eldest uncle's family and the second uncle's family came, Ning Dani's people were sent to the town.
Uncle Jiang Yongwen sat on a small stool in the yard and sighed, "If you ask me, they just saw that our family was prosperous, and they're all jealous."
"There are many maids in the wealthy families in this town, and why doesn't anyone say such filthy things? Why did they just say ours?"
Jiang Yongtian felt that his eldest brother was right: "To put it bluntly, there are more boys in our family. The ones who are married are Jiang Fu and Jiang Hui. If that doesn't work out, we will find a matchmaker after the New Year to help our boys find some good girls. By then, the money we earn will be enough for our children to get married."
Jiang Yongfa looked at the boys in the yard and nodded, "Let's do it this way. First, arrange marriages for the children, and then save money to build a house. This way, we won't be laughed at and accused of having sons but unable to find wives. We won't lose this person."
The three elders in the family unanimously agreed to marry off the brothers first. Ke Xin raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment, if the brothers all got married next year, one a month, then there would be wedding banquets every month for at least half a year.
The eldest and second aunts were working with their hands, their ears stretched long. When they heard that they were going to find wives for their children, they smiled with their eyes narrowed.
Xue Ying smiled and said, "If my second and third sons get married, I, as the mother-in-law, will have a lot of free time."
"What my sister-in-law said is true. We are now considered to be mothers-in-law. We finally don't have to sit around the stove bricks during the day." Zhuo Qiaohong agreed with a smile.
On the other hand, Ge Shuzhen on the side was frowning. Xue Ying and Zhuo Qiaohong looked at each other, then turned around to persuade her.
Xue Ying whispered, "Shuzhen, to be honest, Su Yan is a good kid, sensible and hardworking, and she has a good relationship with Jiu'er. I think it's a good idea to marry her to Jiang Xin."
Jiang Xin and Su Yan?
Ge Shuzhen glanced at Su Yan, who was working not far away, thought for a moment, and shook her head: "Jiang Xin is married, and Su Yan is still a virgin. If we try to bring them together now, it would be like taking advantage of them. It won't work."
Xue Ying gave his second sister-in-law Zhuo Qiaohong a look, and the latter understood and joined in the persuasion: "What's wrong with it? You also watched Su Yan grow up. Besides, Jiang Xin's temperament is too honest, and Su Yan is not a domineering child. If they get married, they can discuss things together. I guarantee there will be no quarrels, and you can worry less."
"That's true, but my eldest brother has been married before. He's not worthy of Su Yan, and he's four or five years older than Su Yan."
Xue Ying exclaimed, "She's only four or five years old, that's not considered old. Besides, there's no such thing as someone not being worthy of someone else."
To put it bluntly, we are all farmers, who is nobler than who?
Ge Shuzhen shook her head and wanted to refuse, but Su Yan mustered up the courage to speak out: "Aunties, I heard everything you said. I am willing to marry Brother Xin, as long as Brother Xin doesn't despise me."
After saying that, he ran away with a red face.
The three people who were working looked at each other. Ge Shuzhen cried out and ran away quickly, asking Su Yan if she was serious. If she had to marry the eldest daughter of her family because of Ning Dani's disturbance today, then she would definitely not approve of this marriage.
In the room, Su Yao shook her head. "It's not because of Ning Dani. I think Brother Xin is a good person, and he's capable. He knows how to care for others and is someone I can trust for life. But I have no parents, and I still owe Jiu'er thirty-five taels of silver. I'm afraid..."
Ge Shuzhen held Su Yan's hand and patted it gently: "I was worried that my eldest brother was married and was not worthy of you."
"As for when you mentioned selling your body, it was purely because Jiu'er didn't want you to be someone's concubine, nor did she want you to be controlled by your brother and sister-in-law after you got married. Jiu'er truly treats you as her own sister, and we treat you as our own daughter, too."
"Don't think too much. When the eldest brother comes back, we'll find a time to finalize your marriage. It would be best if you get married before the New Year."
After that, Ge Shuzhen smiled at Su Yan, whose face was red, for a long time, and then said, "Stop working and have a good rest. At least you need to take good care of your body. After you get married, you should have children as soon as possible."
After saying that, she went out happily, and she kept her mouth shut all day.
backyard.
After looking at the sauerkraut, Ke Xin went to look at the cows, thinking whether she should squeeze out some milk and make some snacks to send to Madam Liu. She had brought a lot of good things a few days ago, and her mother always wanted her to make some dishes to send over.
But the flavor of the food can only be tasted when eaten hot, and the food is not something precious or rare, nor can it be presented. The snacks may not be precious, but at least the ones she made are definitely unique in Daliang State.
When she returned to the front yard, she heard her two sisters-in-law giving passionate speeches. When Ke Xin listened carefully, her eyes popped out.
"Who wants to marry my brother?"
Cao Zhaodi and Ye Xia said in unison: "Su Yan."
satisfying:....
She was not around for a while, how could Su Yan suddenly become her sister-in-law? And she was marrying her eldest brother instead of her second brother as she had thought.
My feet felt a little light-headed, and I almost ran all the way back to the house.
"Tell me, what's going on? Why did you suddenly want to marry my eldest brother? Was it because of the nonsense Ning Dani said today that forced you to marry him?"
Su Yan saw Ke Xin's gloomy face. She was already nervous, and now she became even more nervous.
"It's not Jiuer. No one forced me, and I didn't marry your brother because of what Ning Dani said. I just wanted a home, someone who could protect me, give me warmth, and know how to care about me. And your brother is that person."
After Su Yan finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly: "The most important thing is that your family is very good. Your wife is a good person and not a mother-in-law who tortures her daughter-in-law. Such a warm home is what I have always dreamed of."
Having said that, this home seems pretty good, at least better than Su Yan's previous home.
"Then why didn't you choose my second brother, but my eldest brother?"
Su Yan blushed, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Your elder brother knows how to care about me."
satisfying:......
Her eldest brother is a warm-hearted man who cares about everyone in the family. Not only people, but even the cows in the backyard are the first thing he does when he wakes up to show his concern.
Ke Xin asked again: "Then do you love my elder brother?"
Su Yan blinked and asked, "What is love?"
satisfying:.....
She almost forgot that getting married here does not require mutual affection or love. As long as they feel that they are similar and well-matched, the matchmaker will bring them together and they will get married.
As the saying goes, it is the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Many people have never seen each other when they get married. They meet for the first time in the bridal chamber that night. The veil is lifted, the candles are blown out, they make love all night, and at dawn, they become real husband and wife.
