Xia Yan was a little sad that his daughter was getting married. Fortunately, his daughter was not getting married, but marrying a son-in-law, so the sadness was a little lighter.
Xia's mother was purely happy. She was the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked at Zhou Yin, the more satisfied she became.
This child is good-looking, filial, and capable. Not to mention as a son-in-law, he would be excellent as a son-in-law.
As long as she thought that he was going to marry her daughter and live at home with her in the future, she would be happy.
At first, she was skeptical about her husband's choice of Zhou Yin.
Because Zhou Yin is a foreigner and has no roots here, they have no idea about his past. Although he looks very good now, who knows what he was like in the past?
She was a little scared.
But after getting along with him for more than two years, she became more and more satisfied with Zhou Yin.
Seeing Zhou Yin and her daughter go out together, Xia's mother happily said to Xia Yan: "You have chosen your son-in-law well..."
Xia Yan said helplessly: "Weren't you very dissatisfied at first?"
"Aren't you worried that he can't take care of Xin Niang?" But for more than a year, Zhou Yin has been running business in the county besides Xia's family. Although he borrowed some capital from Xia Yan, he not only paid back the borrowed money, but also paid back the borrowed money.
I also accumulated some.
Although Xia's mother didn't know much about it, she often heard praises from outsiders. With Zhou Yin's ability, he could still live a good life, or even better, even without the Xia family.
Xia's mother vaguely knew that Zhou Yin would become a son-in-law, more for Xia's mother-in-law and to repay the Xia family's kindness.
After exiting the alley, Zhou Yin quickly walked two steps beside Xia Xin, walking in sync with her.
The alley was not narrow, but he just liked squeezing her. Xia Xin almost walked against the wall. Seeing that he was still squeezing her in, she couldn't help but give him a fist and pushed him out, "More outside."
."
Zhou Yin smiled, grabbed her hand and held it in his, whispering: "This way I won't squeeze you."
Xia Xin's face turned red and she quickly looked behind her. Only when she didn't see him did she let out a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yin leaned close to her ear and whispered: "I'm not afraid of anyone. My clothes have big sleeves today. If you get closer, outsiders won't be able to tell that we are holding hands."
He was so close that the tips of Xia Xin's ears turned red. Her left hand was firmly held, so she could only give him a chest blow with her right hand, but her left hand stopped struggling and let him hold it.
Zhou Yin happily took Xia Xin to go shopping. The two of them bought a lot of small things, all of which were to be arranged in their new house.
When the two of them got the things back, their faces were extremely red. Xia's mother laughed so hard that her eyes were bent, and she helped them collect the things herself. Xia Yan just pretended not to see it.
Xia Yan asked someone to calculate the date. The closer the date was, the more nervous Xia Xin became. When she was nervous, she didn't want to see anyone, especially Zhou Yin.
Zhou Yin had no choice but to pass by her window every day, and then go out to do his own things or prepare for the wedding.
He thought he would not be able to see Xia Xin until the day he got married. Unexpectedly, he saw Xia Xin standing in the yard as soon as he entered the door today.
He was stunned for a moment and quickly ran forward, "Xin Niang, are you willing to see me today?"
Xia Xin tapped the ground lightly with her toes, and it took her a long time to muster the courage to look at him, "Zhou Yin, do you really want to marry me?"
Seeing her uneasy expression, Zhou Yin couldn't help but straighten his face and said seriously: "No, I won't marry you."
Xia Xin's eyes turned red, and Zhou Yin grinned, "I want to marry you!"
Xia Xin held back her tears and couldn't help but kick him, "You're teasing me again."
But his eyebrows couldn't help but curve up. Zhou Yin smiled when he saw it, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and asked in a low voice: "Are you happy?"
Xia Xin couldn't help but shook his hand and whispered: "Getting married... is not that good. What if people outside look down on you..."
"I don't care about other people's eyes," Zhou Yin said: "We live our own lives. As long as we live well, we can be happy."
"So, what about your family?" Xia Xin raised her eyes and stared at him and asked, "Your brother and sister-in-law, don't they mind?"
Zhou Yin said: "When I left home, my brother already had five children. Our old Zhou family has no shortage of sons."
He said: "My brother is not very bright. He doesn't think deeply. As long as I can live, it will be fine. Not only can I live now, but I also have a wife through my own ability. It's too late for him to be happy. What else can he care about?"
Does marrying me mean you are marrying into your wife?”
"As for my sister-in-law, she is even simpler," Zhou Yin said: "She listens to me, as long as I am happy."
Xia Xin felt relieved, shook his hand and asked, "Are you happy?"
"So happy!" Zhou Yin looked down at her, his eyes full of her, "As long as I think that we are getting married, I am very happy, so I am happy every day."
Xia Xin's cheeks turned red and she jerked her hand away, "It's getting late, I'm going to cook."
Zhou Yin followed her to the kitchen, "I'll help you light the fire."
Xia's mother looked through the window at the two people entering the kitchen one after another, and smiled to Xia Yan: "Can you rest assured now?"
Xia Yan responded softly.
Xia Xin was very happy, so she took the initiative to talk a lot to Zhou Yin, "When we get married, I will discuss it with my parents and we will go back to your house to have a look."
Zhou Yin was stunned, raised his head and looked at her, "Go back to my house?"
Xia Xin nodded and smiled: "Yes, you are getting married. You have to tell your brother and sister-in-law no matter what. Even...even if you are a bride-in-law, you still have to tell your family. Didn't you say they will be happy? Then let them be happy too.
Happy."
Zhou Yin showed a big smile, nodded and said: "Okay!"
Zhou Jin and Qian will indeed be very happy. They have lost news about Zhou Yin since he left with the caravan.
A few days after he left, someone in the county sold a batch of grain. Although the price was very high, the grain flowed out, and people who had been waiting for the rice to go into the pot had hope. Many people even sold their fields and bought it.
Got some food.
Then this sale seemed to turn on a switch, and the grain merchants who were detained by the county magistrate began to open their grain shops and sell grain.
Although the price is still much higher than before and the quantity produced is very small, Luojiang County seems to have come back to life from the deadlock and gained some popularity.
The young men in Qili Village who had been guarding the goods of the company noticed this atmosphere and breathed a sigh of relief. They did not know that this matter was indirectly related to Zhou Yin.
It was precisely because he deceived the chief executive of the company that the county magistrate's foreign aid would arrive soon, but now the food in the county could not be transported out. In order not to lose money, he had no choice but to take action before the county magistrate's food arrived, and then he gave Shangzhou's food
Buyer compensation.
He sold grain here, and with the constant pressure from the county magistrate, the grain merchants were stretched to the limit, so they had no choice but to take a step back and release some grain. Only then did Luojiang County, which had been tense, relax a little.
Eighteen days later, the grain purchased by the magistrate of Luojiang County arrived, and the Yamen began to distribute relief grain. Lao Zhou led his family to the county town with cloth bags to queue up to receive the relief grain. The crisis in Qili Village was immediately eliminated.
Since Zhou Yin left, no one in their village has died, and everyone is alive and waiting for the county government's food relief.
