Chapter 301: The Order of the Parents and the Words of the Matchmaker
Chapter 301 Parents’ Order and Matchmaker’s Words
Liang Sheng nodded. He agreed with Old Man Wang's idea, but he still couldn't take Old Man Wang's money.
"Uncle, just leave the matter to me. I will take care of the money. Your money is used for retirement and cannot be touched."
"You silly kid, your aunt and I will have you two in the future, what are we still doing with the money? Isn't this money yours?"
Liang Sheng smiled lightly, the money belonged to Xing Rui, not to him.
"Uncle, I'm going to work."
Seeing Xing Rui standing by the plow and looking at him blankly, Liang Sheng knew that this woman was saying that she was lazy again.
The two pieces of land were plowed in two days, with half a day left.
The three of them went to the land where Sichuan clams were grown on Xingrui Mountain and spent the entire afternoon pulling grass. The land was finished.
After dinner, Xing Rui shouted through the fence when she saw Xu Dachun standing in the yard.
"Dachun, is something wrong?"
"Sister, do you have a problem with me?"
Xu Dachun, who heard the shouting, came over.
"Are you busy lately? If not, how about helping me with some work for twenty cents a day?"
"Okay, let me talk to my mother and start working tomorrow?"
"Well, let's start work tomorrow and go to my new house."
"Okay, sister."
After saying that, Xu Dachun did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he watched Xing Rui's cheeks suddenly turn red, lowered his head slightly and asked,
"I heard that my family has started building a house for Erhe?"
After all, this is the eldest girl's house, and she still blushes a little when she talks about it.
"Well, the foundation has been laid. After a while, we should be able to build a house."
"Um,"
Xu Dachun nodded,
"Sister, I will go directly to the new house to wait for you tomorrow morning."
"OK,"
Seeing Xu Dachun return to the house, Xing Ruisi paid and walked out.
As soon as this man arrived at Matchmaker Liu's house, he saw a man walking over with something in his hand.
"Silly girl."
The person who came was none other than Liu Qiang, who had been dealt with by Xing Rui several times, but this time he gave in completely.
"Oh, you came to see your aunt?"
"Oh, my mother asked me to bring some salted radish to my aunt, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I have something to do with Sister Xing'er, so let's go in together."
Xing Rui nodded. Liu Qiang did not dare to go in with Xing Rui. Instead, he took two hurried steps and opened the door, letting Xing Rui walk in first.
"Silly girl, are you looking at my teeth?"
"Okay, you come over to my new house tomorrow, I'll collect it, raise it for a few days, and then set it up."
"Okay, okay,"
Liu Qiang nodded hurriedly, and opened the door of the house again. Before Xing Rui walked in, he shouted.
"Auntie, silly girl is here."
Before matchmaker Liu heard the sound, Hu Ling'er, the little girl, ran out in a hurry.
"Sister Xing Rui, are you here?"
"Well, I came to see Sister Xing'er for something."
While talking, several people came to the house. Myolie Wu, who was collecting shoe soles under the oil lamp, heard that Xing Rui was here to see her.
He hurriedly threw the half-filled shoe soles into the basket.
Pushed to the edge of the kang, he stood up and nodded shyly to Xing Rui.
Myolie Wu doesn't talk much and is shy, but she is very good at work.
"Sister Xing'er, I want to ask you to help me with the work for a few days. Why don't you go back to your husband's house for the time being?"
"No return."
"Girl, come on, come on, sit down quickly, sit down and talk."
Matchmaker Liu pulled Xing Rui to sit down, looked at what her nephew was holding, and said to Hu Linger who was standing aside,
"Go and collect the things from your brother's hand and pour out the bowl."
"oh,"
Obviously Hu Ling'er didn't want to do this job. She wanted to hear what kind of job Xing Rui wanted her sister to do.
But seeing the fierce look in her mother's eyes, she hurriedly took the salty radish bowl from Liu Qiang's hand and walked out.
"Silly girl, I'll go find you tomorrow."
Seeing that Xing Rui had something to say to his aunt and the others, Liu Qiang walked away in a discerning manner, not forgetting to say hello to Xing Rui before leaving.
"Okay, go ahead."
Liu Qiang nodded happily and turned around and walked out.
"What will Liu Qiang do to you tomorrow?"
Matchmaker Liu stood up and poured water for Xing Rui while asking.
"Oh, I promised to get his teeth fixed."
"Oh, no wonder, I'm so happy for him. I'm already unsightly in appearance, and I'm missing one of my front teeth, so it's even harder to find a wife."
The tooth was knocked out by himself, but hearing what Matchmaker Liu said, Xing Rui didn't feel any guilt.
"Girl, drink water, drink water."
Matchmaker Liu pushed the tea over, looked at Xing Rui and asked,
"What do you want Myolie to do for you?"
"Oh, aren't Li Huimei and Sister Shui Lan going to open a rouge shop? I asked Sister Xing'er to help me make rouge and gouache for a few days.
Even the bottling work, which costs twenty cents a day, is not too tiring."
"Sister Xing Rui, can I go?"
Hu Ling'er who heard the sound hurriedly ran in from outside. Before Xing Rui could say anything, Matchmaker Liu scolded her coldly,
"What can you do if you go? You're just a troublemaker. You're not allowed to go. I won't tell you. Just stay at home for the past few days.
The boy from the Zhang family in the next village is pretty good. Although he is a bit of a loser, he is good at craftsmanship and you won't have to endure hardship if you marry him."
"Mom, I don't want to marry a cripple."
Hu Linger sat down angrily.
"Do people who are not lame want you? You won't marry the poor, you won't marry the ugly, and you won't marry the lame. Do you think you are a fairy? Can you marry whoever you want?
I'll go over tomorrow and see how that person is doing? I'll also check it out for you, kid. If that works, the matter will be settled."
"Ahhhh..."
Hu Ling'er kicked her fat legs wildly and started howling again.
"I don't want to marry. Even if I can't get married in my life, I don't want to marry a cripple."
"What you said doesn't count. Your parents ordered the matchmaker to tell you whether you want to marry or not."
Although Xing Rui doesn't like Hu Ling'er's lazy and greedy character, she is not willing to listen to such bullshit talk about parents ordering a matchmaker.
After all, this is a living person, not a pig. How could he marry so hastily?
"What about Sister Xing'er?"
But this is someone else's business, and it's natural for Xing Rui to not interfere.
"Okay, I'll go there after dinner tomorrow morning."
Myolie Wu nodded very shyly.
"Thank you, Sister Xing'er. I'll be busy for a few days and won't delay your return home."
Myolie Wu nodded and watched Xing Rui get up, without even drinking a sip of tea, and looked at her mother hurriedly.
"Girl, please sit down for a while and take a sip of tea."
"Auntie, it's getting late, so I should go back and rest."
Xing Rui was thinking about going back to put her two children to sleep so that she could take her godfather and stepmother to pour out her cosmetics.
Back at the new house, Liang Sheng looked at Xing Zihe who was doing abacus on the kang and fell into deep thought.
Now I went to see the old woman of the Xing family and promised to give her thirty taels of silver, but she couldn't tell Xing Rui, and she couldn't come to the house to make trouble again.
In order to stabilize her, he gave the old woman the few taels of silver that Xing Rui gave him.
But she wanted to give her the remaining money within twenty days. Where could she find the thirty taels of silver?
