Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Chapter 430 Hong Xiaoqiao is engaged

Pan Xiuniang was really envious and happy for Jiang Ning.

Yang Xiaoya hurriedly thanked him and asked curiously, "Auntie, aren't you getting off the boat now?"

"No, no!" Pan Xiuniang was very happy, her face was much plumper than before, "Now every household in the coastal fishing village has started to raise oysters, and there are not so many oyster shells for us to pick up. My mother's family has made a lot of money in recent years, and they rented a piece of sea farm to raise oysters. They thanked me for my help over the years and bought me a piece. I need to take care of it occasionally, so I don't have to go there every day. When I have nothing to do, I will come and talk to Wan Niangzi."

She and her family took the lead and cooperated with the Yang family early on, making a lot of money. Not only did they buy a courtyard in Songxi Town, they also bought two small shops in the town. Now they rent out the shops and earn more than one or two taels of rent every month. In addition, they can earn more than ten taels of rent a year from the sea field where oysters are cultivated. With only her and her daughter at home, they don't spend much money throughout the year and don't need to work so hard.

After working hard in the first half of her life, she wanted to take a good rest and live a leisurely life in the second half.

Yang Xiaoya was also happy for her, "Auntie is living a life like a fairy, it's wonderful."

"No comparison, no comparison!" Pan Xiuniang was modest, but her face was smiling from ear to ear, her eyes twinkling slightly, and she said, "There is something else I want to tell you. My Xiao Qiao is engaged, and the man is your eldest sister-in-law's nephew Jiang Nan."

"Really? Congratulations! Is Xiao Qiao at home?" Yang Xiaoya looked very happy. She didn't have many good friends. There were only Yang Xiaohua, Zhong Mianmian and Hong Xiaoqiao, with whom she had been dating for a while.

Now that she heard that her best friend was getting engaged, she naturally had to go over and congratulate her in person.

Pan Xiuniang stood up excitedly, "Come on! I'll take you there."

Lady Wan also waved her hand, "Go ahead!"

Yang Xiaoya came to Pan Xiuniang's house and found that there was a maid working in the house.

Pan Xiuniang explained: "She is a fisherman nearby. She is a poor man. Her son and daughter-in-law are all gone, leaving only a little grandson. She can't get off the boat with the child. Our house is big, and there are only two of us living there, so we hired her to help look after the house and do chores.

On weekdays, when there is nothing to do, she just watches the door, cleans the house, and occasionally cooks. If she is busy, she will go to my mother's house with me to help. Of course, the wages are paid separately.

Her grandson is still young and lives with her in our home. He is also very hardworking. "

Yang Xiaoya nodded, "Auntie is kind-hearted."

"No way! This is all we can do!" Pan Xiuniang was overjoyed by the compliment.

He led Yang Xiaoya to the backyard and shouted at the top of his voice, "Xiao Qiao, look who's here!"

Hong Xiaoqiao poked her head out, and immediately put down her needlework in surprise and ran out, "Xiaoya! Why are you back?"

Yang Xiaoya stepped forward and shook her hands, smiling, "I'm going to the capital, and when I come back, I heard that you're engaged!"

The two of them went into the house while talking.

Close the door.

Hong Xiaoqiao blushed, "My mother told you! Aunt Jiang came to our house to propose marriage, and my mother was a little hesitant at first. After all, I am her only daughter, and she wanted to find a son-in-law. Although Aunt Jiang has more than two sons, Jiang Nan can make money. Aunt Jiang was not happy at first, but Jiang Nan insisted. Later, our two families discussed that if I gave birth to one son in the future, the surname would be Hong, and if there is more, the surname would be Jiang.

My mother also likes Jiang Nan and thinks he is reliable. Both sides took a step back and the marriage was settled. The wedding date is set for May next year. It's a pity that you probably can't come!"

Although the family situation has improved in recent years, she suffered too much when she was a child, so she is really afraid. Even if the family conditions have improved, she can't sit still and has to worry about everything. Their family's livelihood is different from other families, so she has no good friends to play with. She cherishes her friendship with Yang Xiaoya very much.

Yang Xiaoya felt very regretful, but she was more happy for Hong Xiaoqiao. She put the jade bracelet on her wrist onto Hong Xiaoqiao's wrist, and then put the jade hairpin and gold hairpin on her head.

Hong Xiaoqiao was shocked and refused repeatedly, "Xiaoya, I can't accept it!"

Yang Xiaoya pouted in mock anger and said, "I never gave you anything before, at most we exchanged snacks, but this time you are getting married, I must give you something decent as a dowry.

It's a pity that I came here in a hurry. If I had received the news in advance, I would have sent you a set of fine headwear. Now this is all I have, please don't despise it."

"Don't despise me, don't despise me! The dowry my mother prepared for me is not worth a gold hairpin of yours. These things are really too valuable!" Hong Xiaoqiao was in a dilemma, but was afraid that if she insisted on not accepting them, Yang Xiaoya would be angry.

Yang Xiaoya took the opportunity to help her put the things into the dressing box, "Okay! You and Jiang Nan will live a good life in the future. If you have children in the future, you should support them to go to school. If one of them becomes successful in the future, maybe he can take you out of Songxi Town, and we may meet again!"

These words made Hong Xiaoqiao's eyes red. She was reluctant and agreed heavily.

The two talked for a while before Yang Xiaoya got up and left. She went to see Wan Niangzi again and told her her plan, "Sir, please come with me to the capital!"

Wan Niangzi looked lovingly at Yang Xiaoya who was squatting beside her, her eyes filled with tears, and she choked with sobs and smiled, "No! I finally came back safely from the capital in this life, and I just want to live a stable life for the rest of my life, and don't want to toss and turn anymore.

In fact, I knew from the day you became my disciple that you would fly away sooner or later, so I was reluctant to accept you. But your eyes were clear and firm, and you even swore in front of me. No matter what I said, I couldn't harden my heart to refuse you.

Now that your family is rich and still remembers me, I have nothing to regret. I am fine now. I live a life without worries about food and drink, and I have someone to take care of me. I can often talk to old neighbors nearby. I am also thinking that now that I can no longer do embroidery, I can raise a few cats and dogs and live here. I can do whatever I want, so don't worry!"

"Sir." Yang Xiaoya wanted to continue persuading.

Pan Xiuniang said, "Little girl, Madam Wan is right, just listen to her!"

Yang Xiaoya received Pan Xiuniang's look, and although she didn't understand, she could only agree first.

After reminiscing about the past with Wan Niangzi, Yang Xiaoya left only after seeing that she looked a little sleepy.

Outside the courtyard, Pan Xiuniang couldn't help but sigh when she mentioned Wan Niangzi, "Although she is a rich and respectable person, she suffered too much in her early years and her health is really not good. She can't travel far away in her condition. She should stay here and cultivate herself peacefully. Maybe she can live a few more years. If you are really filial, don't let her torment you."

"Auntie." Yang Xiaoya looked sad.

The nanny next to her suggested, "Miss, as the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. If you are really worried, you can find a doctor from the clinic and ask him to come and check Miss Wan's pulse every two weeks. Then tell the familiar people in the town and ask them to take good care of her. Ask them to send some money back every year. That will always be enough for you."
