The whole family was happy all day long as the baby moved.
Shen Ling was even busier, keeping the house in perfect order.
With the gossip ability of the village, everyone soon knew that Shen Peng had come to the house today to get engaged to a woman of such status.
Especially when the older girls learned about this, they all looked indignant.
Then in the afternoon, no one knew what was wrong with these people. No matter where Fu Yunming and Fu Xingye went, they could see girls dressed up in fancy clothes, trying to make their presence felt in front of them.
It was Fu Yunlong who whispered, “Second brother, they are feeling uneasy because they learned that Shen Peng is engaged.”
"I think they are just there for you to take a fancy to so you can marry them."
"Don't you see they are spreading their feathers like peacocks, courting each other?"
When Fu Yunming heard what his younger brother said, the corners of his mouth twitched.
It seems that I really need to hurry up and get married.
If he were to be accidentally snatched up by these village girls one day, he would probably be vomited to death.
But looking at Fu Xingye, he also said: "Xiaoye, you should be careful recently. Don't go out alone, and don't go fishing by the river. I always feel that these girls are possessed and will do some crazy things."
"Brother, I get it. I think we should wait until the incident with my cousin is over. These people are too scary."
"Indeed, it's as if we were pork belly, with our eyes shining."
"Hey, cousin, that description is really scary."
Fu Xingye got goosebumps all over his body.
Looking back at those village girls, it’s really an eye-opener!
When the educated youth nearby learned that Chen Peng had taken a fancy to Su Li, they cursed her in private.
"I said this woman was a vixen. Look, she just left over there and she's already got on Shen Peng's good side."
"Everyone in the village knows that those who have a good relationship with the Zhao family are all from wealthy families. Do you think Shen Peng is crazy to choose a woman like that?"
"Well, who knows? I guess he's just attracted by her beauty."
"Bah! You shameless vixen, you're such a slut!"
At this time, the educated youth Qiao Ran said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but are you dissatisfied with your lack of work? You still have time to gossip here?"
"You guys are so concerned about other people's affairs, are you also interested in Chen Peng?"
"I think you're just envious and jealous. If you have that much time, you might as well earn more work points so you don't have to eat dirt later."
When several people heard Qiao Ran's words, they rolled their eyes.
I thought you would say that no one wants you.
However, considering that Chen Peng already has someone he likes, they can only see if Fu Yunming and Fu Zhiqing have someone they like.
It's not because of their power, but because reality has taught them that they can only live a good life by marrying rich men.
With Chen Peng's engagement, people in the village were talking about all sorts of things.
Some aunties even went to Shen Peng to persuade him to cancel the engagement and find someone else after finding out.
Anyway, there are a lot of people who are jealous and a lot of people who just want to watch the fun.
However, no matter what others say, Chen Peng is determined to be with Su Li.
Ana Shen was at home taking care of the baby. It wasn't until Shen Ling came back from outside that she put down the book in her hand and asked, "Is it lively outside?"
"Sister, how did you know? I think those people in the village are jealous of Su Li to the point of going crazy."
"Some people also say that my cousin has poor eyesight and wants a girl like this."
"Some people say that it's a blessing for a girl like this to marry my cousin, and there's even a 66-yuan betrothal gift."
"Of course, it's still those girls who like my cousin. When they learned that he was engaged to Su Li, they were all gnashing their teeth in hatred."
"Even Second Brother Fu and his friends have become popular in the village today. Many women can't sit still and want to arrange blind dates for Second Brother and them."
"Don't you think it's funny?"
After listening to Shen Ling's words, Ana Shen thought to herself that it was true.
The reason why their family didn't have a matchmaker was because she said at the time that the children in their family were all free to fall in love and didn't engage in feudal practices.
Now that they saw Chen Peng’s low request, those people would definitely not be able to sit still.
But as long as those people don't use despicable means, she will pretend not to know.
Then he said, "Don't read books for now. Go to the fields every day and take a look. If you find anyone trying to commit suicide, help them."
Shen Ling rolled her eyes and understood what her sister meant.
Then he said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, if there are any blind people, I will definitely help them find a good family."
Everyone knows about the dirty things happening in the village.
It would be fine if there were no such thing, but if anyone dared to reach out, Ana Shen would definitely teach them a lesson.
As time passed quickly, Shen Peng's house was finally completed after three days.
As soon as the house was ready, Shen Peng immediately asked his aunt to find him a good day.
He can't wait to have a wife and a warm bed.
Of course, while choosing the date, Shen Peng was naturally not idle either.
Although the adobe house is not as grand as the tiled house, the tiles used to cover the roof make it look good overall.
He asked his brothers to help him paste the walls of the house while he looked for a carpenter to customize furniture.
Occasionally, I would take time to set traps in the mountains.
His wedding banquet cannot be like that of other families, with bland soup and even few meat dishes.
Although he wouldn't make a big deal about it, he would definitely need to include books for his family and the village chief.
After knowing that the date was set for 7 days, Shen Peng happily went to find Su Li.
Su Li, who was cooking, saw Chen Peng coming over at this time and asked directly: "Why are you here? It's almost lunch time."
"Hey, Susu, we've chosen a wedding date. It's seven days from now. Is that okay with you?"
"If you have no objection, I will go to town tomorrow to buy wedding supplies."
When Su Li heard that they were going to get married so soon, she was also stunned.
I thought it would be better to get married early so that I could leave here.
What the educated youth have been saying in private recently has been very unpleasant. If her heart wasn't strong now, she would have probably hidden in her room and cried.
Then he smiled and replied, "I'm fine with anything. Just arrange it. I have no objection."
Seeing that she agreed, Shen Peng continued, "See if you still need anything. I will buy it all for you tomorrow. Whatever others have, you will definitely have too."
Su Li knew his good intentions and replied with a smile: "Just buy whatever you like. Can you buy a set of school supplies for my brother? It would be best if you can buy some books."
"Well, that's nothing. I'll buy all my brother's things tomorrow. If I can't find anything, I'll go to the scrap yard."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Please take care of me for the rest of my life!"
