The fat peasant girl wants to counterattack

Chapter 21
Mrs. Zhang began to carefully calculate which family she would marry after she broke off her engagement with Yue Mingzhu.

There are currently three interested families in the town. One is the daughter of a butcher. This family must be richer than Yue Mingzhu's family, but the butcher's profession is not very respectable. It is probably for this reason that they want to find a scholar.

One family owns a restaurant in the town. This restaurant is either a big restaurant like Yuemanlou or a small shop that can accommodate four or five tables, which is also amazing in the village.

This family was considered a respectable family, and they would definitely not want to find a son-in-law who scavenged for food in the dirt. His status was too high for them to reach.

Another family is the daughter of a teacher in the town, which can be said to be very noble.

But Qinggui is Qinggui, but he doesn't have much money. How much money can a person who lives by taking ordinary silver have? Besides, this family only has an only daughter. In the future, Pengfei will probably have to support his father-in-law's family, which will be too heavy a burden.

Mr. Zhang is not satisfied with these three families. Why is there no one with better conditions? They are all blind and cannot see the good things about their son.

If outsiders knew her thoughts, they would definitely make her doubt her life. They are not blind, it's because her thoughts are too beautiful.Although Tongsheng is not born in vain, it is not easy to be admitted as a scholar. Some of them are from childhood to [-]s and [-]s.

To put it bluntly, childbirth is not a rare thing.

Besides, with a widowed mother like her here, any parent who loves his daughter can't think twice about it. They really don't have any self-awareness.

Mrs. Zhang does not feel that she is dragging down her son. She feels that she is very powerful. She can educate her son to study so well. Which daughter can be her daughter-in-law? That is a blessing. Her daughter-in-law has to be trained by her, and she will be able to teach her well in the future. Grandson, if this goes on from generation to generation, why worry about the family not being prosperous?

Zhang felt a little discouraged as she thought about it.

Although she appeared calm in front of her son, she was actually very panicked.

How should I break off my engagement with Yue Mingzhu?

If nothing else, Mrs. Wang could tear her alive.

Yue Mingzhu finally got hold of her son, how could she let him go so easily? These interested families are not rich and powerful, so they cannot intimidate Yue Mingzhu's family.

Her family is an orphan and a widower. She can't fight with force. What should she do? It's really sad.

It would be great if there was someone powerful!

There was another thing that made her even more worried and couldn't sleep. If she broke off the engagement, she would not be allowed to give back what the Yue Mingzhu family had given her. It wasn't that she wanted to give it back, but her son's reputation couldn't be damaged. It wouldn't sound good if it was revealed. .

Kaotong Sheng took ten taels of silver from Wang, as well as other bits and pieces. Zhang made some estimates and found that the total would be 20 taels. Where could he get this money? He couldn't ask his future in-laws for it.

All these things were really crushing her. In the past, when her man was around, he had to take care of everything, but now she is really struggling.

If it doesn't work, we can only continue to sell the land. The current situation is not good. In the past, an acre of good land could be sold for eight taels of silver, but now it is only five taels.

Her family still has six acres of land. Alas, let's sell it. Anyway, it will be so dry that we can't plant anything anyway. It's better to sell it. In the future, when her son becomes successful, he won't be able to buy back much land.

You still need to have a long-term vision. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang raised her head proudly. Who among the country women has such courage?

It is true that there is no perfect path for everyone. God seems to know Zhang's thoughts and has given him a powerful family who can control Yue Mingzhu's family.

On this day, a matchmaker came to the door happily. "Hey, is this Mr. Yue Pengfei's house?" The matchmaker was dressed in bright and professional style.

Zhang's favorite thing now is that the matchmaker comes to visit, which means she has one more choice.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly welcomed the person into the house and brought a bowl of hot water.

There was no sugar water, and the food at home was almost at the bottom, so her son was given food. She almost ate wild vegetables every day, but luckily she had enough wild vegetables.

The matchmaker didn't mind either, she didn't come here just to eat and drink, none of that mattered.

"The eldest sister is Yue Pengfei's mother, right? She looks like an ordinary person, otherwise she wouldn't be able to raise such a promising son." The matchmaker really relies on her mouth to make a living, and it is always right to praise someone first.

Mrs. Zhang was indeed happy and liked to hear others praise her son.

"Sister, what I'm telling you today is a good match. That is to say, the young master is a child. If you change it to someone without fame, others will look down on you." The matchmaker was mysterious and aroused people's appetite. .

Mrs. Zhang was a little tickled by the temptation, and she looked at the matchmaker expectantly, as if she was about to win a big prize.

"As for the person who asked me to come here, you will know it as soon as I mention it. There is no one in this town who doesn't know his family."

Hearing what the matchmaker said, Mrs. Zhang became even more excited. This must be a wealthy family, otherwise how could everyone know about it.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was almost seduced, the matchmaker said, "The shopkeeper of Yue Man Lou in town asked me to come here."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she stood up excitedly, her face full of joy.

Yue Man Restaurant is not a simple restaurant. It is said that the owner is a high-ranking official in the capital. They don’t know the exact size of the official, but Yue Man Restaurant is open all over the country. Those with such financial resources and those with small abilities Yet?
The shopkeeper of Yuemanlou is very respectable in the town. It is said that even the county magistrate has to give face to the prime minister's disciple, a seventh-rank official. This is indeed true.

With money and power, there is no need to worry about his son not being able to make a living in the future. This is really a piece of cake in the sky.

How else could I be the shopkeeper? This vision is different. I fell in love with his Pengfei. He is really discerning.

After Mrs. Zhang calmed down, the matchmaker continued: "Sister, the news about our industry is very good. How come I heard that your young master is engaged? It seems that he is from your village. I haven't told you yet." Shopkeeper Yu said this, tell me whether it's true or not, I've been doing this for most of my life, but I can't ruin my job."

Mrs. Zhang's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said: "Old sister, you have to help me a little. I have to thank you for this. It's true, but it's all my fault that I didn't recognize people well in the past. I didn't expect that." That family is so unbearable, well, let’s not mention it, but it’s a big mistake for us, Pengfei. We should never get married to such a family. I was just thinking about quitting. Please help me out for two more days, just two days. I promise it won’t be difficult for you.”

Mrs. Zhang took out twenty copper coins from her pocket as she spoke, her heart dripping with blood, "Sister, I'm really troubling you. I'll treat you to a cup of tea. Don't be offended."

The matchmaker was dissatisfied because the Zhang family was really stingy, and he still had the nerve to talk about a good job with this small amount of money.

She felt that it was too little, so she still took it in her hand. No matter how small the mosquito was, it was nothing but flesh.

He also said politely: "Look at what you said, eldest sister, you are orphans and widowed, and the young master is studying in the academy, and the expenses are huge. I shouldn't take these, but there are rules in the industry, and I don't let the matchmaker run away empty-handed." Yes, it’s not good for your family.”
