Chapter 255 Eavesdropping
Li Yuanxia thought about it too, but soon she thought of another possibility, frowned and continued: "It might be that He Zheng insisted on marrying my sister, his mother couldn't hold him back, so he had to come here to propose marriage..."

"It's not impossible..." Li Mei'er has never met He Liushi, so naturally she doesn't understand her personality. If she is the kind who loves children very much, she may compromise. In order to marry her mother, her father also married Li. The old lady was awkward for a while, but in the end, old lady Li couldn't hold back her son, so she went to Jiang's house to talk about marriage.

The two of them said this, and looked at Li Yuanchun, who had been silent all this time, and Li Yuanxia asked cautiously, "Sister, do you agree with this matter..."

Li Yuanchun was silent for a while before replying: "Marriage is always the order of the parents, let's see what the parents say, but I don't think He Zheng's mother is here to propose marriage."

"Then do we want to eavesdrop?" Li Yuanxia rolled her eyes and suddenly suggested, she was very itchy now, she just wanted to know what his mother He Zheng was talking about with her own mother.

"I won't go, you have to go by yourself." Li Yuanchun frowned immediately and refused.

Li Yuanxia immediately looked at Li Meier again, and urged: "It's really inappropriate for my sister to go, so let's go."

Li Meier was a little hesitant. After all, this was not her own home. It would be embarrassing if people found out by eavesdropping.

"Mei Meier, you can go with me. I know an excellent location for eavesdropping. My mother and the others will never find out." Seeing Li Meier hesitate, Li Yuanxia took her hand and continued to lobby.

"Xia Xia, don't mess around, just do ridiculous things by yourself, and let Mei Meier accompany you." Li Yuanchun taught again dissatisfied.

"Sister, I'm all thinking about your happiness. He Zheng's mother came here suddenly, it must be because of your business, no matter whether she came to propose marriage or not, we have to have a bottom line in our hearts." Li Yuanxia was very serious. Said matter-of-factly.

"Okay, for the sake of Sister Yuanchun, I will accompany you to listen, but it's just eavesdropping, don't get excited and make other fools." Li Meier finally compromised, but still did not forget to warn.

"Don't worry, I just want to hear what they have to say." After Li Yuanxia finished speaking, she dragged Li Meier to the front hall.

Behind them, Li Yuanchun opened his mouth hesitantly, but finally said nothing.

In the front hall, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. He and Mrs. Liu were sitting and drinking tea, and Mrs. Wu's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qi, sat next to her and talked with the two elders. The atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

"Speaking of which, I liked the third brother Xin the most when I was a child. The third brother went to a shop in the state capital as an apprentice when he was a teenager. Every time he came home, he would bring back many novelty gadgets and distribute them to us young ones. Brothers and sisters, so every time he comes back, the children in the clan are like a festival." Mrs. He Liu recalled the interesting things in her childhood, with a faint smile on her face.

Wu listened with a smile, and said with a smile: "The master told me that he was able to go to the state capital to be an apprentice, thanks to the help of the patriarch. He should be kind to you brothers and sisters."

The two talked about some interesting stories from their childhood, He Liushi took a sip of tea, as if he wanted to say something.But he didn't know how to speak.Mrs. Wu is still a few years older than Mrs. He and Liu, so she knows how to read words and expressions, and asked with a smile, "What my aunt wants to say, even if you say it, they are all relatives of my family, so don't look outside."

Only then did He Liu sigh softly, "Oh, actually, I don't want to ask, but this matter is related to my unfilial son, sister-in-law, don't blame me for being abrupt."

Mrs. Wu suppressed her smile, and hurriedly said, "What's the matter, it's better for my aunt to explain it to me."

"Speaking of which, I was really ashamed and flustered, but it was my son who fell in love with your sister Chun..." Mrs. He Liu said embarrassingly.

Wu Shi was shocked when she heard the words, she knew that her brother Ang had often called He Zheng to come to the house recently, but she didn't expect that there was such a thing among them.She knows that her daughter is good-looking, so she doesn't let her show up much on weekdays, for fear of causing trouble. Now that the eldest daughter is about to reach her age, she is helping to look after others, and she doesn't want to be a high-ranking person, so she just wants to give it to her. My daughter finds a well-to-do family and lives in peace and security.

Today when Mrs. He and Liu came to the door suddenly, she was a little puzzled, and wondered what she was doing, she came to tell his son about it.When it came to her daughter's marriage, Wu's attitude became cautious. He Zheng himself had nothing to be picky about. He was admitted as a scholar at a young age, and his future future is bound to be limitless, but the He family's family background... It's really not that good, I heard that the money for He Zheng's study is all supported by He Liu's natal family, such a family must have a difficult life.

But in terms of money, her family is not short of money. In the future, she will prepare a generous dowry for her daughter, and she will not let her suffer hardships in her husband's house. Besides, He Zheng will take the imperial examination to become an official in the future. I won't live in my hometown for long, so this marriage is really good...

After such a short period of time, Wu Shi had already thought about this a lot in her heart, and when she spoke again, her tone was much more affectionate than before, and she asked with a smile: "Auntie wants to propose marriage to your brother Zheng?"

Mrs. He Liu sighed, and said regretfully: "Of course I thought about it, but I went to the temple to pray to the Bodhisattva a few years ago, and the Bodhisattva said that my brother Zheng should not marry early, otherwise he might die early. I was so frightened that I made up my mind to wait until he was 20 before talking about marriage."

After hearing what He and Liu said, Mrs. Wu's complexion became ugly, her tone immediately turned cold, and she asked, "What does that aunt mean now?"

Mrs. He Liu became more and more embarrassed, her voice lowered a little, and said slowly: "I just want to ask, is there any private relationship between Sister Chun and my brother Zheng... Otherwise, why would my brother Zheng follow?" It's like drinking ecstasy soup, and sister Feichun won't marry?"

"This is absolutely impossible!" Mrs. Wu categorically denied, with anger already in her heart, but she still restrained her temper and said, "My sister Chun usually goes to study at Mrs. Zhengu's place at home, so she doesn't take it easy. She will go out and run around. Besides, she has reached the age of talking about marriage now, but if a man comes, even if it is a relative, I want her to go back to the house to avoid it. For nothing else, the two girls in the family are grown up. Although it is not as good as before, the defense of men and women is also very important. Am I such a foolish person? My daughter’s family, reputation is more important than anything else. How can there be such a thing? And I know my daughter best, she also It's not someone who waits casually. Auntie, stop talking nonsense!"
