Aunt Nie was in a good mood.
Her son sent a letter back from the provincial capital. She had only attended literacy classes for a few days and didn't know many big characters, but Uncle Nie had a good level of education and read the letter to her.
Aunt Nie automatically ignored those greetings and other words. She just caught one sentence: at the end of this month, her daughter-in-law would bring her grandson back to see her.
Aunt Nie was particularly happy. She folded the letter and put it away. "Now that the date is set, I'll talk to Miss Su about it later and ask her to make some meat floss. The meat floss she makes is really good, even better than the one they brought back from the provincial capital last time. We should also prepare more eggs. Xiaochuan loves them."
"Okay, you watch and prepare."
Uncle Nie was also happy to hear this, so he decided not to take care of these matters and let Aunt Nie prepare them.
Aunt Nie was in a good mood. She came out of the west room and just walked into the yard when she saw Du's mother carrying something and looking into the house. She saw her face full of enthusiasm and said, "Aunt Nie, I came to see you. One of your relatives told me that your family was short of fresh eggs. I happened to have a basket of eggs and brought it to you."
Aunt Nie had a cold face and looked at Du's mother with her eyes raised, her gaze was chilling.
"I know you well?"
Mother Du was stunned, then thought of the Nie family's background. She continued to put on a smile, "First time, second time, familiarity. And let me tell you, I know that girl you were with last time. Let me tell you, her family has bad morals. Back in the health center, they knew our family was well-off, so they secretly switched the girls between the two families. Look, they just switched them back two months ago. This family is very mean. She approached you because she was attracted by your family's power. I'm also worried that you will be deceived by this girl."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Aunt Nie didn't say anything, and boldly took two steps forward, "Look at this..."
Aunt Nie sneered, "Miss Su never said a bad word about you in front of me. Young girls know it's bad to criticize people behind their backs, but you, a mother, come up and criticize a young girl. I think you are narrow-minded and not a good person!"
Mother Du hadn't expected Aunt Nie to be so difficult to deal with. She stood there awkwardly, trying to explain, "This, this..."
"Okay, go away now, you are not welcome in our house!"
Du's mother thought she was smart and thought that if she could hook up with the daughter of the Nie family, she would be able to become a phoenix. However, she didn't know that Aunt Nie had a pair of sharp eyes and could see through people very well. She would never give her this opportunity easily. Du's mother was refused entry and walked back with her things, cursing dirty words like "dead old woman".
Let’s talk about Ku Shui Village.
Su Erhe really didn't know what was happening outside.
Life in the countryside is busy and fulfilling.
If there was anything that bothered her, it was that she had no way to sell the mountains of food that piled up in her space.
Then she didn't have much meat left, so she had to find a chance to go to the slaughterhouse again. This time she planned to get more pork.
She had previously thought that the things in the space would go bad if left alone, but since that wouldn't happen, she felt free to stock up on them.
She even thought that after two years when the policy was relaxed, she would engage in agriculture in the countryside, set up two farms, raise pigs and chickens, start from a small workshop, make meat floss and meat jerky to sell. Shaking her head, she felt that she had gone crazy. She had been thinking about opening a garment shop before, and now she wanted to set up a farm.
My ideas really change every day.
But it’s not impossible. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I’ll decide then.
Now make multiple preparations.
Well, because he had to go to the slaughterhouse, Su Erhe planned to go to the He family.
If He Zheng was not available, she would borrow He's family's bicycle and go by herself. Su Dongtian needed the bicycle for her family to go to and from get off work.
Although the He family would be her in-laws' family in the future, Su Erhe had no intention of borrowing it for free, so she took a bag of meat floss and went over.
Just arrived at the door of He's house.
"I don't agree!"
Um?
A strange voice came from inside the house. It sounded like a woman, but she was not young.
Su Erhe thought that since there were guests at the He family, she should go back first.
"I didn't agree with this marriage from the beginning. I don't think there's anything good about the girl from the Su family. The previous one was too dull, and this one... has a foxy face. She's probably not someone who will settle down."
Su Erhe: “???”
Is this talking about her?
Does being beautiful mean being restless?
She didn't like to hear this!
"Mom, what you said is that the girl from the Su family is very good," Wang Xiu looked at her mother-in-law helplessly. She is the eldest child in their family, and Grandma He should live with them, but Grandma He favors her youngest son, so she lives with his family. Not many people come over from their side.
Unexpectedly, this time when he came, he said that he did not agree with the marriage between He Zheng and Su Erhe.
Isn't this just adding to the trouble? We just agreed to pick a date a few days ago, and now we have to go through the formalities and propose.
He Zheng was also very happy.
"I don't think there's anything good about her. She's a delicate girl from the city who doesn't even do farm work. She married into our family just so we could find her a job. He Zheng is a muddleheaded guy who got fooled by this girl. I think you're also confused. Isn't Zou Yan from the supply and marketing cooperative good? No one in her family farms, and she gets paid 30 yuan a month. She's a perfect match for our He Zheng."
The supply and marketing cooperative was shared by several villages, so it would of course be a good thing for Zou Yan to work as a salesperson there.
Wang Xiu also knew it was good, as it was very rare for a girl to have a job.
"But Mom, no matter how good Zou Yan's job is, if our He Zheng doesn't like her, we can't force them together." Wang Xiu didn't want to let her son down by picking a girl he didn't like, especially since her son liked the girl from the Su family very much.
I asked him to make the clothes. After more than ten days, the clothes looked pretty good.
A grown man sits cross-legged on the bed at night, sewing clothes stitch by stitch with an embroidery needle. He must really like the girl to do this.
"I was wondering why you didn't understand what I said. He Zheng was young and was deceived by that girl. Just wait and see, that girl will ask for a large sum of betrothal gifts, and after she gets married, she will also ask us to arrange a job for her..." Old Mrs. He did not have a kind face. Her small eyes sparkled with brilliance. She was extremely shrewd, and no one could get a penny from her.
Old Mrs. He is a stubborn person. Wang Xiu thought about asking Old Mrs. He to talk to her later. She thought that the old lady would listen to her son's words.
Unexpectedly, the curtain beside the door was pulled open.
Su Erhe walked in and first said to Wang Xiu, "Auntie, I'm sorry. I just happened to come over to look for He Zheng and overheard your conversation."
Wang Xiu was quite nervous, afraid that she would scare away the girl her son liked, so she quickly explained, "Don't take it to heart..."
"It's okay," Su Erhe smiled at Wang Xiu, then turned to look at Old Lady He and put away her smile. "Auntie He, I heard everything you said just now. Let me tell you this: no matter whose daughter He Zheng marries, he has to give a betrothal gift. This is a sign of respect for the girl's family. When you married into the He family, you also received a betrothal gift, right? Since you can accept the betrothal gift from the He family, why can't I? Otherwise, I will give a betrothal gift to your He family and let He Zheng become our Su family's son-in-law?"
