Fertile land

Chapter 92

Everyone wants to be fresh, and pearls are better than youth. What old man doesn’t dote on a young girl?
"Her father, please give me the right words quickly!"

Old Li's face was ashen!
The second eldest brother and his second sister-in-law are both here. Doesn't this mean that his eldest brother, Li Depei, is selling his daughter?

His old Li family did not have this tradition of sending his own daughter to be a concubine for money!
Speaking of his sister, her parents had no choice but to send her to be a maid as the family didn't have a good meal at that time. To this day, they still don't know for sure, and they don't know whether she will live or die!

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's greedy and eager face, she didn't want to talk to her!

Li Zhengsen and Zhao Xiaomei were also amazed by Zhou's behavior...

No matter how cunning and mean she usually is, she still loves pearls very much.

Matchmaker Wan took out the deed from her arms and put it on the table: "If you agree, put your fingerprints here. I will go back and tell Master Zeng that the marriage is done!"

"Next time, just set a date and we can get married!"

"So fast?"

Lao Litou always felt that something was wrong!

"Shouldn't we check the birth date and horoscope first to see if they match?"

Don't even look at how much you weigh, just be a concubine, there are so many rules!

However, you can't say that. Wan Matchmaker only said:
"Brother Li, this rich family doesn't have so many trivial matters. Besides, are Mr. Zeng's horoscopes just for you to read casually?"

"Go and see if there is any powerful man in this town whose birth date and birth date are not kept secret?"

"Success is a success. According to me, your wife is right. It's more important to be a husband and a baby. It's a waste of time to match the horoscope!"

Lao Li was displeased.

"Why are you so embarrassed? Have you forgotten what the wandering Taoist priest said?"

Zhou's reminder gave Lao Li a head-on blow.

Suddenly thinking of the prophecy, could it be that Pearl was destined to marry into the Zeng family?

"You know how to get into trouble! Old man, just believe me. Pearl will definitely give birth to a big fat boy for Mr. Zeng while he is still young."

"It will be difficult for her to get her wish if she is too old. Don't hurt Pearl!"

"This……"

"From now on, our Pearl's destiny will be wealth and honor!"

As for their old Li family, huh!She, Zhou Meizhen, is finally proud and proud!
Zhou is categorical!

Old Li Tou said what he was thinking, and he was feeling unhappy. He glanced at Pearl, who looked confused, and said, "Zhenzhu, what do you mean?"

"Dad, I...I can't tell you!"

Erratic!

This was her true inner thought. From the time when she was ignorant, she had liked the third brother of Li Zhengxin's family in the village, but he had a fiancée!
She wanted to teach him a lesson and make him nervous about her, but she also wanted to give up her glory and wealth.

When she marries Mr. Zeng, she will be able to eat well, be well clothed, and have servants to serve her. Isn't this the life she dreams of?

Old Li was confused. He looked at Li Daqiang and Li Sanmao and asked carefully: "Boss, Third, what do you think?"

Li Daqiang was chatting with the two bearers when his father suddenly shouted.

Without even thinking about it, he said, "I listen to my parents!"

I felt something was wrong, so I added,

"What my parents mean is what I mean!"

"you!"

Old Li looked at him with a very serious and honest look, as if he didn't even think about it. His words were stuck in his throat, and he spat on the ground in anger!

It's not good to be too obedient. You don't have your own opinion. You just want to make up your mind!
"Third brother, what do you think?"

"Dad, I think we need to go to the town to investigate this matter first. We can't decide it so quickly..."

Lao Li nodded!

The matchmaker Wan said anxiously: "What else are you asking for? Didn't I tell you just now? The Zeng Mansion is very rich!"

She also saw that the family's weakness was money, so they used money to talk things over!

I just hope that we can make this happen immediately today, sign and pledge, get the money, and have insurance!

"This... third wife, what do you think?"

Luo Zhi'er didn't expect that Lao Li would nod her head!
Come on, if you give me advice, it won’t be your fault for future success or failure!

She wouldn't give any advice. This was Li Sanmao's sister. She just raised her head slightly and stopped sewing the needle in her hand.

"Dad, I don't have any objections. I just have a few questions that I'm not sure about. I want to ask Matchmaker Wan!"

Matchmaker Wan was stunned. The fat man remained silent for a long time. She thought she was a frustrated little daughter-in-law in this family, but she didn't expect that she had quite a status!

Then I thought about it, no matter how much status she has, she is still a country woman. What kind of experience does she have with so many people and things going back and forth?

If there is a problem, she will fool it for a few times and it will be over...

Mrs. Zhou looked nervous, fearing that Luo Zhi'er would ruin her daughter's good fortune by talking nonsense!
He warned: "Luo Zhi'er, please be careful and don't talk nonsense!"

"That's right, dad, why are you asking her?"

Pearl also said anxiously.

"Zhenzhu, shut up! Third daughter-in-law, you say what you want, never mind what your mother-in-law and others think!"

"Li Depei, are you taking me less and less seriously now?"

Zhou was extremely angry.

"If you want others to take you seriously, do more normal and useful things, okay?"

Zhou was aggrieved. "Third wife, tell me!"

"Matchmaker Wan, can I read your contract before doing this?"

"Huh? What?"

Matchmaker Wan thought that she was a rural person who was illiterate, so she took it out and flirted with it casually. Besides, they were talking about getting married here, and they all signed the contract after they agreed, so that they would not regret it and prevent her from getting the service fee!
"What? Are you not happy?"

"That's not true. Are you literate?"

Questioning in a high-pitched voice...

"It's not bad, I know a few of them!"

Matchmaker Wan reluctantly handed her the contract, and Luo Zhi'er calmly took it and read it carefully...

The content above is nothing, just basic information about the relatives and the relatives in question, which village, which family members, whose last names, which matchmaker said it, a lot of nonsense praising each other for being a perfect match!
Just the last bit...

Ha ha!

"Matchmaker Wan, what does this mean if the marriage fails and you renege on the compensation midway?"

"You still don't understand. I talked about kissing you for a long time and spent so much time talking about it, but you finally regretted it. I can't do it in vain!"

"Yes, but this is too much, isn't it? Ten times the agreed betrothal gift?"

Li Zhuzhu agreed that the betrothal gift would be ten taels, so wouldn’t it be 100 taels?

"what?"

Old Li was so frightened that he almost suffered a cardiac arrest. Fortunately, he didn't rush to press fingerprints just now!
"Isn't this too unreasonable? Is this the case for others when they say we are kissing each other?"

Matchmaker Wan quickly explained:

"Why do you care about other people? My matchmaker said that all the people who marry sign like this, which proves that I am good at what I say!"

"Besides, it's your family's pearl wedding that's good. Other families don't have as high a betrothal gift as your family's pearls."

"All right!"

"Since you haven't signed this, let's forget it for now! I want to know more about it, how do you know about the pearl of the fourth girl of Lao Li's family in Zhaoli Village?"

Wan Matchmaker didn't expect her to be so difficult to deal with.
"Uh... yes, Mr. Zeng himself found a young boy to marry me. I really don't know how he knew about it!"

"Haha, I thought you were dating in private, and you just wanted me to run errands as a formality!"

Wan Matchmaker said carelessly.

"Is that so? It's just that our old Li family and Pearl have no personal relationship with Mr. Zeng and don't know him!"

Zhou was so angry that she hated her for doing so many things and knowing her birth status so clearly with the rich Master Zeng?

I wish everyone in the world knew that her old Li family knew the rich Master Zeng, and that he had a crush on her daughter!

Lao Li Tou and Li Zhengsen felt that Wan Matchmaker's words were a bit inappropriate. The matter of marriage was supposed to be kept secret.

After talking, if it doesn't work, everyone keeps silent, this is also to protect the reputation of both parties, especially the woman!

The Li Zhengsen family has three daughters, so they are very familiar with the process...

She also said that Pearl had a personal relationship with Mr. Zeng. Wouldn't this ruin her reputation?

"One more thing, how old is Mr. Zeng? What kind of business does he do specifically? Is there a shop in the town? In addition to a house for the main wife, are there also concubines? If so, how many rooms are there? Didn't those concubines give birth to children? Concubines? Have any of you left?"

"Ah...this...why are you asking for such details?"

Secretly unhappy, how can this fat man be so smart, ask questions in a quick succession, and be so meticulous...

"Can't you answer?"

Luo Zhi'er, still naive, asked.

"No, it's not... you asked too carefully. I was too busy earlier and didn't understand that much..."

Matchmaker Wan waved her hands and rolled her eyes. She had heard about this kind of thing, so naturally she also asked about it...

But... these words cannot come out of her Wan Matchmaker mouth.

"Could it be that you don't know too?"

The pair of round, black and white eyes on the opposite side stared straight at her, making her panic...

"In this case, Dad, after all, it is related to Pearl's life-long matter, do you think we should do as Sanmao said, go find out more before making a decision?"

Now that I have asked her, she has no feelings for pearls. As the third sister-in-law, she can remind her that she still insists on making a choice. If anything happens, she will bear the consequences!
But she doesn't give him advice or decisions, letting them decide on their own!
If Mr. Li and Mr. Li really love their daughter, they will inquire about her no matter what!
Old Li looked at Li Zhengsen and thought about it again and again...

Although Mrs. Zhou was frightened by the 100 taels just now!

However, if the Pearl thing really comes to fruition, that won't matter. Zhou is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, so what else can be considered?
No matter how she buzzed in Lao Litou's ears and danced so high, Lao Litou still thought it would be better to find out!
Fortunately, the third daughter-in-law is literate and can understand the contract. If she had signed the contract in a hurry, it would be difficult for her to regret the marriage!

Naturally, I rejected Matchmaker Wan for the time being, and in order not to embarrass her, I apologized with a nod on my face!
Wan Matchmaker still has a nose that is not a nose and a face that is not a face. When she heard this, she stood up and turned around and left!
"A bunch of poor ghosts are still pretending to be noble! This is something you rejected yourself. Don't regret it if you miss this village. If you come to me again to beg my matchmaker, there is nothing I can do!"

He picked up the handkerchief and flicked the bullets into dust, snorted coldly, "I've been covered in dust for nothing. I can't sit down in this yard for a moment." He turned around and left!

"Hey, Wan Matchmaker, that's not what I meant. Don't mind. I just said to take it slow first..."

Lao Li chased after him with his head trembling.

"Humph!"

Matchmaker Wan was so angry that she got on the sedan angrily!
Pull down the curtain!
He ordered in a sharp voice: "Let's go!"

The two bearers lifted the sedan in pain, "Get up!"

He staggered, almost lost his balance, and left!

Swallowing their saliva, they didn't get any of the dumplings that the restaurant just said they wanted to eat!
Wan Matchmaker was thinking in the sedan chair. Although they could get the two taels of silver today, they could not get the rest. When they went to the town to inquire about it, they got a rough estimate. Didn't this ruin her Wan Matchmaker's brand name?

Master Zeng came to her because he heard that her matchmaker had said that the marriage would be successful, and it was all because of that Luo Zhi'er!
