"I don't know the details. Mom said she would go over and take a look tomorrow. We only found out this afternoon." Li Zhiyan shook his head.

Ning Qiyue wanted to make a calculation, but failed because the distance was too far.

We can only look back and see what happened.

Li Zhiyan returned to Qingquan Town early the next morning, and Ning Qiyue did not go out either, teaching Yun Dai how to practice at the Cheng'en Palace.

In Qingquan Town, Mrs. Li had packed up early in the morning and was preparing to go back to her parents' house to visit.

"Mother, do you think these gifts are enough?" Dengzhi came in carrying the things that Mrs. Li had ordered last night and asked Mrs. Li.

Dengzhi is the maid who serves Granny Li. In addition, there is Granny Zhang.

"That's enough. Let Ping An prepare and we'll set off right away." Granny Li now also has the air of a mistress.

Dengzhi sighed, turned around, picked up the gift, and went out.

Mrs. Li packed up and said to Old Man Li: "Old man, let me go back and see what is going on with the second brother and second sister-in-law, and why they suddenly want to arrange a marriage for Cui'er."

"Okay, don't get angry in a hurry. Go and see what's going on first." Old Man Li responded quickly and warned again.

He has to deliver something to a customer these days, otherwise he would definitely have to make a trip.

I really can't get away.

Mrs. Li sighed and took Nanny Zhang out of the courtyard.

Dengzhi and the boy Ping An were already waiting at the gate. When they saw Mrs. Li coming, they quickly greeted her and got into the carriage.

After everyone was seated, he put away the step stools and headed towards Qianjia Village with the carriage.

Qian family.

"Father, mother, what do you think, why do you want to marry off Tweetie so quickly?" Qian Youqing couldn't figure it out, Tweetie hadn't even gotten hairpin yet.

What are you doing in such a hurry?

Qian Chunlin sighed, and Mrs. Liu also opened her mouth, and finally closed it again.

Qian Youqing was almost dying of anxiety, and finally Qian Chunlin spoke: "It's your in-laws' family who want too much dowry. Xiu'er is already married, and Cui'er is the only one in our family who hasn't gotten married yet. My parents... There’s nothing we can do about it.”

"It's because of me?" Qian Youqing was stunned, and then said directly: "Mom and dad, I don't agree. I will wait until I get married without a bride price. Why worry? I'm only eighteen years old."

"Father and mother, in order to find a bride for me, you married off your younger sister who has not yet had hair. Even if you collect enough dowry, how can I be happy?"

"Mom and dad, I'm not kidding you. I firmly disagree with using my sister in exchange for my betrothal gift." Qian Youqing insisted.

Qian Chunlin glanced at Mrs. Liu, who whispered after a long while: "Son, in fact, our purpose is not to marry Cui'er, but to let your aunt support you, so that your bride can also If you get married, Cui’er won’t have to marry anyone anymore.”

Qian Youqing opened his eyes wide and frowned: "Mom and Dad, when did you become so good at calculating?"

"Dad, that is your biological sister. My aunt is not my father and mother. Why do you support me in marrying my bride?"

"When my cousin got married, he came to my house to borrow money, but you didn't support me at all. How can I be embarrassed now?"

Qian Chunlin stared and said, "You also said that when your aunt came to our house to borrow money, we didn't lend it to her because we were poor. How can your mother and I have the nerve to ask now?"

"This is the only way to force her."

Qian Youqing seemed to not know his father. Before he could speak, Qian Chunlin spoke again: "Your aunt's family is now prosperous. He lives in a big house in the town and runs a prosperous restaurant and snack shop. , small vegetable shop, how did you ever think about us?"

"Even teaching us how to do business is just trivial stuff. Look how Zhaodi is living now."

"Your cousin is already married, and her good bride handed over profitable things like braised pork to Zhaodi and her husband's family, but they were not willing to give it to us!"    "Has she really thought about us?" Qian Chun The more Lin said, the more wronged he became, and the angrier he became.

Qian Youqing felt as if he was meeting his father for the first time.

"Dad, my aunt has been very good to us. How many coppers could you earn in a month before?"

"Now we can earn more than fifty copper coins a day. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to save some money soon. When the time comes, we will rebuild the house and save some money. I don't believe I can't find it. Bride.”

"How long will that take?" Ms. Liu also looked up at her son.

Qian Youqing replied directly: "No matter what, you can't be a bachelor all your life. If you really become a bachelor, it will be my life. Parents can't forget their roots!"

Mrs. Li has been standing at the door listening for a while. She has heard everything the family said.

This nephew's pain was finally not in vain, and she never expected that the originally honest second brother and honest second sister-in-law would now become so surprising.

"Is Mr. Qian at home?" After receiving Mrs. Li's signal, Dengzhi shouted loudly.

The movement in the room disappeared instantly. After a while, Qian Chunlin and Liu came out with smiles on their faces.

"Hey, sister, you're back, come in and sit down quickly." Qian Chunlin looked at the two women next to Mrs. Li, a little curious, but did not ask further questions.

Mrs. Li raised a smile and called "Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law" before following her into the house.

Dengzhi placed the gift on the table and stood behind Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Liu put down the tea, looked at Dengzhi and Nanny Zhang and asked Granny Li: "Chunlan, who are these two?"

"This is Dengzhi, and that is Zhang's Mianzhen." Mrs. Li introduced them.

Qian Chunlin hesitated for a long time before asking: "Are these two helpers in your shop or servants of your family?"

"To my uncle, I am my mistress's personal maid, and Aunt Zhang is my mistress's personal steward."

Dengzhi's words shocked the couple, as if they were dreaming. This girl was living a miserable life last year, and she had to borrow money for her son to get married in the winter.

It's only May, and this girl is already living the life of a rich man's wife.

The bride of her family is indeed a lucky star as rumored.

Mrs. Liu's idea was that she would have known that she would have asked Ning Qiyue to be her bride.

"I didn't expect that my sisters are both the wives of rich men." Qian Chunlin smiled coquettishly.

The old woman took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and then said: "What a rich man's wife, I am just a rural matron. I can only say that the two brides in my family are filial, and they have allowed me to live a good life with people taking care of me. "

"Yes, your two brides are both capable. Now it seems that you are right, Chunlan. Your family is really a lucky star in July. Blessed, blessed." As he said this, Liu said My heart was sour.

Mrs. Li quickly changed the subject and said, "Why are the second brother and the second sister-in-law so eager to tell Cui'er about her?"

"It's not like the betrothal gift you asked for from that family you mentioned was too much. We've just started a small business, and it's not as good as yours in town."

"As far as the business in the surrounding villages is concerned, Youqing is willing to do it. He goes out with a cart to sell tofu and so on."

"But it's getting hotter and hotter today. If you don't do it well, everything will stink if you don't put it away, so naturally you can't do much."

"It's not really helpless. Who would want to propose marriage to all the girls who don't have hairpins? Isn't it because Youqing is eighteen years old? His family used to be poor, but now he has some money. Why don't we hurry up and propose a marriage to him? ." Liu said quickly.

As he spoke, he stared at Mrs. Li expectantly.
