Chapter 25 Marriage!(2/3)
In the afternoon, Cao Xin used teleportation to go down to the river to catch fish. After catching the fish, he put it in a pond specially dug on the bank to store fresh fish for a short period of time. He only waited for daybreak to deliver it to several restaurants.
During the free time, I reclaimed land by the river and planned to plant two acres of vegetables here.
The work of building a house has long come to an end.
Cao Xin finally had his hands free to cultivate land.
He took a hoe and swung it vigorously. He then handed a hoe to the little savage and told her to follow him.
The first of the two is short, and the second cannot do anything. Working together is a disgrace to people and an insult to the land.
Cao Xin doesn't expect to be able to grow well, he just wants to pass the time.
The sun is to the west.
It's nearly five o'clock.
Cao Xin picked up the little savage and threw it back to the warehouse. In a flash, he returned to reality.
Start a new day!
…
When I was delivering fresh fish home in the morning, I happened to meet Yu Li, the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Yan family, coming out of the house in the front yard.
This is a rare visitor.
"Sister Yu."
Cao Xin took the initiative to say hello and was very polite.
"Yo!"
“Xiaowu is so energetic!”
"I heard from my aunt that you are studying martial arts with your sister in the martial arts gym. No wonder you are so strong."
Yu Li was also very enthusiastic and reached out to touch Cao Xin's head.
"Why do adults like to touch their heads?"
Cao Xin ducked out of the way, pretending to be distressed and making a remark to ease Yu Li's embarrassment, and then explained: "My sister is doing odd jobs at the martial arts gym, so I just went along to play."
"I think Xiao Wu will be successful sooner or later. Learn more skills and protect your mother and sister in the future."
Yu Li complimented her a bit, saying that she was not like a brat like Cao Xin. She exchanged a few pleasantries and looked decent, then turned around and went back.
Cao Xin glanced at Yu Li's back and felt strange.
When he got home, he saw his mother and eldest sister chatting together and not knowing what to say. He asked directly: "I just saw Mrs. Yan coming home. What's the matter?"
As soon as he asked, he saw Cao Xian looking strange and winking at him.
aside.
Mrs. Cao Zhang was happy and worried at the same time. She waved to Cao Xin and waited for him to come closer before saying, "Daughter-in-law Yan has a younger sister in her natal family, do you know?"
"How could I know this?"
Cao Xin shook his head.
But when Cao Zhang mentioned these words, he immediately reacted: "Is she planning to marry her sister to my eldest brother?"
Otherwise, why would I mention this for no reason?
as expected!
"Our little five is smart!"
Cao Xian couldn't hold it in for a long time. When he saw that Cao Xin had guessed it in just one sentence, he suddenly became excited: "That's it! Her sister is sixteen years old, one year younger than her eldest brother. I heard she is pretty good, even better than her sister. It’s beautiful!”
"Good guy!"
"You are trying to push your own girl into a pit of fire!"
Cao Xin really admires him.
"What did you say!"
"Bah, bah, bah!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Cao Zhang raised her hand and slapped Cao Xin several times.
Cao Xian giggled happily.
Cao Xin had no choice but to say, "It's not fair to speak harshly! Although our family's life is good now, the eldest brother is in the Caishui Gang after all. Putting aside ordinary people, who would choose such a son-in-law?"
There must be something fishy in this!
"What could be weird!"
Mrs. Cao Zhang rolled her eyes at Cao Xin, but she still explained in a low voice: "This year, food prices in Xijing City have risen again, and every household is having a hard time. The Yan family in the front yard is all supported by Master Yan, and they eat sweet potato porridge every day. Mr. Yan, the Yue family is not a big family, and life is equally difficult. Yu Li mentioned to me in February that she wanted Mr. Yan to fight behind your brother, so I went over there. This time, I came again and said, It’s my younger sister, which means I want to get along with the boss.”
The rise in food prices in Xijing is just adding insult to injury for the suffering ordinary people in Xijing.
The Yan family and the Yu family will not be at the end of their rope.
But coming here to talk about marriage at this time is really courageous.
If nothing else, if this marriage can come true, Yan Bi, the eldest brother-in-law of the Yan family, will have a 80% chance of doing business with Cao Ren.
If the Yu family has any difficulties, the Cao family, who is the son-in-law, and has no relatives and roots in Xijing City, can they not help?
"It really makes the brave to death and starves the timid to death!"
After hearing this, Cao Xin couldn't help but admire the Yan family and the Yu family.
Other families in the courtyard still looked at the Cao family with colored glasses. Even though the Cao family gradually became more prosperous, no matchmaker ever came to their door, and no family took their fancy.
In the end, the Yan family was still close enough to see clearly.
Or maybe Yu Li took it upon herself to go back and tell her parents.
In short, the Cao family is prospering. Apart from fleeing from famine and Cao Ren joining a gang, everything else is pretty good. At least the three little ones in the family are getting stronger visibly.
Just say Cao Xin.
When I first came here, I was skinny and small, looking like a four or five-year-old child. But over the past six months, I have grown a full head taller and my body has become stronger.
These can never be fake.
If you get married, you will never be hungry.
In this day and age, is there anything more important than not being hungry?
Cao Xin went through the logic in his mind and looked up at Mrs. Cao Zhang: "What do you think, mother?"
As soon as he asked, he immediately waved his hand: "Pretend I didn't ask."
What else could you think?
Looking at Mrs. Cao Zhang's surprised and anxious look, you can tell how happy it is for her to have a daughter-in-law from heaven.
Of course I am absolutely convinced.
That is to say, she has never been Cao Ren's boss, so she didn't express her position directly, but her joy was already overflowing.
Just like what Cao Xin said before——
There is actually a girl willing to marry into the Cao family?!
This is a high-burning incense!
How could you not want to!
"I'm going to have a sister-in-law?!"
Cao Xian listened obediently and finally realized that this was not idle talk, and that it was most likely true.
For a moment, I was equally surprised and happy.
Only Cao Xin——
"The Yan family is not easy to get along with."
"Having a brother-in-law like Mr. Yan in the stall will make you worried in the future."
"And the Yu family, what kind of family are the Yu family, and what kind of temperament does Little Sister Yu have?"
Cao Xin couldn't help but pour cold water on the mother and daughter.
It would be fine if the Cao family were an ordinary family.
But now Cao Ren and Cao Xin are making a lot of money by doing business without capital. They are not exposed to the light and have too many secrets. And sister Yu Li is leading the Yu family at one end and the Yan family at the other. They are all a big family, so the trouble is tight.
…
"Brother, what do you think?"
That night, Cao Xin took his eldest brother and whispered.
"I--"
Cao Ren's mind was a little confused.
