Fang Zheng stammered, "I'm asking about the other shopkeeper, Fan."
Jiang Yue suddenly remembered that she had met Fang Zheng in the store before. She didn't expect that after so long, he still missed Fan Mo.
Before she could say anything, Butcher Fang pulled his son's sleeve, signaling him to shut up.
"Thank you, Madam Jiang and Mr. Jiang. We will be leaving today."
Jiang Yue nodded and sent them away.
Jiang Yue didn't want to get involved in their affairs and just let things take their course.
But according to her own opinion, these two people are not a good match.
She doesn't know whether he is a good person or not.
If someone asked her this question, she would just want to ask: Can your family accept a daughter-in-law who is taciturn and has no knowledge of social etiquette?
The ideal eldest daughter-in-law in most families is to shoulder the burden of the family's prosperity, serve her parents-in-law, raise her younger siblings, and give birth to sons and daughters, as well as the number of children - she has no say over her own body.
Jiang Yue herself didn't particularly enjoy relying on personal connections; she simply felt uncomfortable. Accustomed to being the head of her own household, she couldn't even accept living with a large group of people, let alone Fan Mo, who had never truly integrated into a society of personal connections.
Now the person is working under her, even though he has never put forward his own ideas, but since she brought him out, she must always be responsible for him.
She judged others by herself and felt that their situation was similar to Fan Mo's. She could either find an orphan without a family; or marry into the family like her and be the head of the household; or find someone who could be the head of the household and protect her.
Fan Bai and Fan Jin are different. Nowadays, men do have much greater autonomy than women and have more choices.
On the other side, Fang the butcher and his son returned home in silence, carrying baskets on their backs, unlike the joy they had just shown.
Mrs. Wu came out to greet them happily, "You guys came back so quickly, are they all sold out?"
This morning, several neighbors saw their husband and son selling meat at the Jiang family's shop. They excitedly came over to inquire about the situation and asked if they could get a discount on the meat. But they were just temporary workers, so how could they afford to ask the owner to sell the meat at a discount...
She took the heavy backpack from the man and looked inside, saying, "Oh, so many! That's great! When will there be such a good thing?"
She talked a lot, only to find that the man didn't respond at all, and her son was silent too.
"What's wrong?"
Butcher Fang faced his son, who had grown taller than him, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you interested in Shopkeeper Fan?"
The eldest son, who was always calm and steady, blushed slightly. Thinking of that cool and graceful figure, he nodded and said firmly, "Dad, I want to marry her!"
Butcher Fang took a deep breath and asked, "You and her are in tune with each other?"
At this point, Fang Zheng lost his temper. "No, I didn't want to be rude. We've only met a few times in the store and exchanged a few words."
Fang the butcher was speechless for a while, and said, "I work for the Jiang family and can become the shopkeeper, you..."
He wants to ask, do you think you are worthy? Do we think our family is worthy?
But these words were too hurtful to say, so he only said half of the words, and the meaning was clear.
Fang Zheng's face looked a little grim, and he pursed his lips tightly.
Mrs. Wu was delighted to hear that her son had found a girl he liked. His son's marriage had been delayed by the natural disaster, and after the Lunar New Year, he would be 20 years old.
At this age, if she gets married quickly, her children will be able to walk, so she is naturally very anxious.
When she arrived in the new city, she brought up the matter again and told all the neighbors about it. However, her son seemed to have no intention of getting married and always avoided answering when asked.
She only found out today that he actually had a girl he liked.
She put down the meat in her hand, took her son's arm, and said happily, "Son, tell me quickly, who is this girl?"
"It's Shopkeeper Fan from the Jiang family store."
An expressionless face suddenly came to Wu's mind, and she felt a chill on her back.
If it were that girl, she wouldn't agree either!
It’s not a question of whether it looks good or not, nor is it a question of not having parents at home. After experiencing the escape, these are all insignificant things.
Wu was afraid of this girl!
The girl was tall and slender, standing at the counter. No one dared to disobey her. She often had a blank expression on her face and spoke in a cold voice. Her eyes, in particular, stared at you like a snake, making you feel creepy.
If she finds a daughter-in-law like this, how can she set rules?
She is not a wicked mother-in-law, but it is impossible for her to bring home a daughter-in-law who cannot be controlled and make herself uncomfortable, right?
Mrs. Wu did not directly offend her son by saying anything about the girl. She only said, "Son, I will find you a more gentle and beautiful girl."
Fang Zheng's face turned even uglier. He didn't expect that he wasn't rejected by the girl, but was rejected by his parents first.
…
Jiang Yue and the other two returned to the farm. Jiang Nian was walking behind them, carrying a small wooden bed with ease. Jiang Yue had already walked into the backyard first.
Ever since she became a mother, her eyes are always unconsciously on her child. If she doesn't see him for most of the day, she misses him very much.
As soon as she stepped into the backyard, a little cub jumped into her arms, and several others clung to her legs.
"Hehe~"
Suisui lay on her mother's chest, sobbing softly, tears in her big eyes, looking aggrieved.
"Honey, mom is back. Did you miss her?" Jiang Yue held him and stroked his fur. There were a few puppies hanging on her legs as she moved into the house with difficulty.
Jinjin was watching from a distance. After all, he had "grown up" and was too embarrassed to ask his owner for a hug.
Fan Bai carried a basket of pork bones and poured them into the dog's food bowl. The puppies, having found food, instantly slid off their owner.
Fan Mo still maintained his human form. She walked beside him and said, "The young master refuses to eat today."
Jiang Yue patted Sui Sui's head and said, "Okay, I'll feed him later."
He was like this now, and Jiang Yue's milk was still swollen, so she had no choice but to squeeze the milk into a bowl and let him drink it.
On weekdays, I feed him milk and normal food alternately, and he eats happily.
Not long after the New Year pig was slaughtered, a blizzard fell for three consecutive days, blocking the roads and leaving almost no one outside.
Jiang Yue held Sui Sui in her arms, and was wrapped in Jiang Nian's big tail, lying in his arms. Her chest and back were warm, and she slept soundly even without a kang.
Jiang Nian looked at the small wooden bed on the ground. He had bought it for nothing...
The snow melts after the New Year, and we have new goals for the new year.
The workers returned to work and began preparing for the upcoming spring plowing.
Jiang Nian was standing in the kitchen pressing tofu. He stretched out his legs, and the little wolf cub clinging to it didn't move at all, its tail still wagging as if it was having a lot of fun.
He lowered his head and said, "Go out and play, don't come to the kitchen. If your hair turns black, you will have to sleep in a bed by yourself."
Sui Sui's ears twitched, and he quickly got off his father's lap and ran out to play with Dahua, Xiaohua and Dahei.
Jiang Yue wasn't in the backyard. She was discussing something with the head of Yuan Zhuangzi. They said that the refugees who had been resettled seemed to have made a comeback. They often wandered around the village and stared at their fields...
