Qian Chunhua did not hide anything and told the old lady about Zhou Dongwei's visit yesterday and her visit to her mother-in-law at Sun's house.
Guan Yueru looked at Qian Chunhua, feeling a little hesitant, wondering whether she should reveal her relationship with the Liu family.
However, Mrs. Dong valued Qian Chunhua very much. She might not tell many things to others, but she was completely open-minded to Qian Chunhua and her daughter.
"I'm afraid Zhou Dongwei's visit this time is not just a simple visit." Old Madam Dong spoke slowly, with a sharp glint in her eyes.
"I heard that the Liu family still has eight unmarried girls, and the oldest is already eighteen years old." She took a sip of tea and woke up slowly.
Qian Chunhua's heart moved, and he immediately understood the implication of Madam Dong's words.
It turned out that I was not overthinking. With so many girls in the Liu family, they must be thinking of marrying them off, and Qian Xingshan was the one they had their eyes on.
The reason why they took a fancy to Qian Xingshan was precisely because of the relationship between the Qian family and the Dong family.
"The Liu family has so many girls?" Qian Chunhua's voice revealed a hint of surprise.
Mrs. Liu doesn't look very old, probably in her thirties, less than forty.
"Almost all of them are concubines' daughters." Guan Yueru said indifferently.
Qian Chunhua immediately understood. Concubine, that was the concubine's child.
Qian's mother shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "Our Qian family is not a good match for the Liu family, we can't afford to marry them."
Qian Chunhua also nodded in agreement. She didn't want her brother to have anything to do with the Liu family.
If the marriage is not pure from the beginning, how can there be happiness in the future?
Neither Mrs. Dong nor Guan Yueru said much about this matter. After all, this was someone else's home.
However, the attitudes of Qian's mother and Qian Chunhua made Guan Yueru feel at ease.
She didn't like the Liu family in the first place, and she always remembered Zhou Dongwei's arrogant attitude when she first arrived at the academy.
If the mistress of the house is like this, one can imagine how far the girls in the Liu family can go.
Qian's mother and Qian Chunhua exchanged glances. They both understood each other tacitly and knew that this marriage would not work.
Qian Xingshan knew nothing about all this.
He was throwing himself into his work in the cloth shop, grunting as he moved the cloths and arranged them in order, classifying them.
Shopkeeper Zheng looked at Qian Xingshan with admiration in his eyes, and smiled at Dong Mingshan: "This young man is really good."
Dong Mingshan came to the cloth shop this time, in addition to handling some business, he also visited Qian Xingshan.
He witnessed Qian Xingshan's hardworking and down-to-earth figure, and couldn't help but nod in agreement with Manager Zheng's opinion.
Qian Xingshan did not become arrogant because of his sister's kindness to the Dong family. Instead, he was humble, studied diligently, and worked hard.
Although he is not very literate, what is valuable is that he has a willingness to learn.
All this made Dong Mingshan look at him with admiration and was more willing to spend a lot of effort to train him.
In the courtyard of the Dong family, Old Madam Dong, Mother Qian and a few others sat under the pavilion, leisurely drinking tea and tasting exquisite pastries.
A breeze blew by, gently lifting the corners of my clothes.
At this moment, there is no shortage of water or food, and people do not feel any trace of drought.
"I went to see your mother-in-law yesterday. How is she?" Mrs. Dong heard Chunhua talk about it just now.
Qian Chunhua's in-laws were no mean people. They treated her and her son right after her husband passed away.
Old Madam Dong was afraid that Qian Chunhua would be soft-hearted and be deceived by her husband's family.
"It's OK. Life is going well."
Indeed, although Zhao's mother and Sun Meiping's life was hard, compared with people outside the city, their life was undoubtedly very comfortable.
"Yes." Old Madam Dong nodded with relief. As long as it was okay, she wouldn't bother Chunhua.
In the pavilion, several people continued to drink tea and chat, the atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful.
However, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed across Dong Nianmei's brows from time to time.
Qian Chunhua noticed this, but considering the occasion and her status, she did not ask any further questions and just kept her doubts quietly in her heart.
