Chapter 79
"Uncle, if you are not willing to let Sister Lanhua get married at will, it will delay it for a few months at most. During this time, you should try your best to help her find a marriage."
Li Guilan hesitated: "It's only been a month, so this marriage is too hasty."
Shen Dacheng: "One month is just one month. The worst I can do is give Lan Hua more dowry. I have to find someone who is honest and decent. I can't be like Zhang Ding last time, who didn't even get a dang."
Just like that, Shen Xinyue and Shen Gui'an went out in the afternoon. When they came back, they just said that the matter was settled and that they wanted to see each other as soon as possible.
As for Matchmaker Lin and Shen Xiao'e, they couldn't even think of getting out of bed and moving around for a month or two.
"I've heard everything about this morning. What I said that day was sincere. You might as well think about it."
Shen Xinyue looked at the sincerity in his eyes and couldn't help but feel a little shaken in her heart.
Rather than living with a man who doesn't know his roots, this one may be a good choice.
The first thing is that Shi Yuanqing is a scholar and his character should be fine.
Secondly, he looks pretty good, his family is simple, and the two families live in the same village, not far apart, which makes it easier for her to take care of the family.
"But I have two conditions."
Before Shen Xinyue could speak, Shi Yuanqing spoke again.
"I will take the exams to gain fame in the future. If you go into business again, it will be detrimental to my future. I will also be criticized by others."
"What are you criticizing?"
"Senior farmers, industrialists, and merchants, don't you know? Businessmen are only interested in profit and are the most calculating. I want to be an official in the future, so how can I leave anything to say?"
"Also, it is not easy for my mother to support me in studying. I know you are a capable person. I hope you can help me take care of the house so that I can study without worries. If we become a family in the future, we will be prosperous. I know you will definitely You’ll understand, right?”
"Then they won't care about my grandma and sister?"
A moment of unhappiness flashed across Shi Yuanqing's eyes.
"When you marry, you must obey your husband and abide by the rules of womanhood. But after all, we are a family. When I pass the Jinshi examination and become an official, you will be the wife of an official. It will not be too late to help your mother's family by then."
"When you become an official, will I be generous enough to provide you with a few concubines and expand your Shi family?"
"Of course you have nothing to do, so I can..."
Shi Yuanqing looked at the ridicule in Shen Xinyue's eyes, and then realized what he had said.
"Xinyue, that's not what I meant. Please listen to my explanation."
"Listen to what you're explaining? You dare to point fingers at my affairs before we get married. What's wrong with the merchants? You can make money based on your skills and there's no shame in it."
"Also, your mother works hard because she wants to take care of you. You made her work hard. What does it have to do with me? I'm still waiting for you to become an official. I'm afraid that I will be tortured to death before I can wait for that day. .”
"I'm sorry, your family's threshold is too high. I'm lazy and don't want to put in the effort. Don't mention this to me again in the future, otherwise the friendship between us in the same village will be lost."
The more Shen Xinyue talked, the angrier she became. She really wanted to slap both of her mouths. Just for a moment, she even thought that this person was not bad.
Feelings are nothing!
Being rejected over and over again, Shi Yuanqing finally stopped holding back and said angrily: "Why? I am a scholar, can you find someone better besides me? Don't forget who you are. The appearance of the sun, and the situation at your home, are a bunch of trouble."
"Do you really think anyone can treat you like I do? No matter how many people ask for it, you can't get it. Don't ignore me."
I just have the words "Ignorance" written on my face.
Shen Xinyue originally wanted to save some face for each other, but the anger that she had tried so hard to suppress suddenly surged up.
"Shi Xiucai, as a scholar, it really opened my eyes for you to say these words. In your eyes, a lowly person can make money to support his family by relying on his own ability, neither stealing nor robbing."
"But you, a self-proclaimed scholar, can enjoy the hard work of your widowed mother with peace of mind. If you don't work hard, you won't be able to achieve anything great even if you are in high school."
"If I thought highly of you originally because of your knowledge, now your narrow-minded thinking makes me look down on you."
After saying that, ignoring the unpredictable expression on Shi Yuanqing's face, Shen Xinyue turned around and left.
Because the villagers in Shenjia Village fled from famine, they were not very familiar with the surrounding villagers. It was really difficult to find a well-informed marriage for Shen Lanhua and Shen Xinyue.
At this time, Liu Sumei took full advantage of having relatives locally.
She asked her natal sister for help, and within a few days she found two families.
However, after the other party heard about their family situations, they both chose Shen Lanhua without even meeting each other.
No one would be willing to choose a woman as their daughter-in-law who not only has no support from her natal family, but also has a few dragsters.
Not long after the two parties met, Shen Lanhua's marriage was decided.
The other party's family is fairly well off, two brothers. In addition to owning ten acres of land, they also open a grocery store in the town.
The only flaw is that the man has some problems with his legs.
It's just that life is passing, and Shen Dacheng and his wife are very satisfied.
After learning that Shen Lanhua's marriage was settled, but no one cared about her granddaughter, Mrs. Shen was so worried that she didn't eat much for several days.
"Mistress, fate is determined by fate. No matter what, Sister Lanhua has decided on the marriage, and my uncle's family has also put some thought into it."
"Seeing that you will be sixteen next month, young men from good families have been picked up long ago. With your appearance and character, if we didn't drag you down, you wouldn't even have anyone come to you to propose marriage. "
Shen Xinyue didn't care much about this matter, but people around her were anxious, so she would inevitably think about it.
"If I really can't find someone to come to my house as my son-in-law, he can help me share the burden of the family."
At worst, we can spend some money to send people away after the storm is over.
Naturally, she didn't dare to say the latter sentence in front of Mrs. Shen. Otherwise, she would have to be frightened.
Mrs. Shen actually listened to this matter.
He didn't finish his meal, so he put down his chopsticks and hurriedly went to Hu's house to discuss the matter of bringing in his wife.
No matter how much Shen Xinyue tried to persuade her to eat her food first, it was of no use.
As soon as Mrs. Shen left, Shen Gui'an came over.
He has been training very hard these days. Perhaps it was the fact that Shen Lanhua's marriage was annulled that stimulated him, and his whole personality became much calmer.
"Eldest sister, I heard people in the village talking about bears on the mountain behind the village. Second sister and the others should pay more attention when collecting firewood, and try to stay at the foot of the mountain."
Not only was Shen Sanyue not afraid, but he asked curiously: "Why are there bears all of a sudden?"
"Who knows, I guess it will come out when the weather gets warmer. Villagers from other villages saw it on the mountain two days ago, but it's a lot bigger. It's better to be careful."
No one took this matter to heart until someone suddenly died in the village the next day, and everyone started to panic.
