Chapter 406 Tell the truth

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense.

Outside the car, the big man Hu Zhen who hit someone, the little girl Jin Hua who stole the purse, and Fu Dong who pretended to be an old man stood in a row, watching with their eyes and their noses.

Hu Zhen and Fu Dong, who knew a lot, thought silently: Isn't it that their daughter just doesn't want to do it?

"Tell me the truth! Do you really not want to get married?" Song looked at Shi Liu, as if she would die immediately if Shi Liu said the truth.

The pomegranate felt guilty and kept touching its toes.

But his face was extremely firm, "How is that possible! Mother, please don't think too much. How could I not want to get married? You said that if I don't get married, I won't be able to enter the ancestral hall in the future, and I won't be able to receive incense after death. I don't want that to happen."

"Really?"

"real!"

The daughter's determination convinced Song, and Song breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good, Yang Wu is a good person, you listen to me, how can I harm you?"

Huang Yuanshi on the side also advised, "Yes, Auntie has seen so many people, she will definitely not make a mistake. You invited Yang Wu to live with you. He is diligent and capable, can do anything, and is honest and kind. He will definitely respect your mother and others well, and will also treat you well! Think about it, you are a popular person. If you really invite that dishonest man to live with you, aren't you afraid of some trouble?"

She didn't need to explain the details, because Shi Liu was a smart child and would definitely understand.

We have heard many people talk about sons-in-law with bad intentions who harmed their father-in-law's family and seized the family property.

Shi Liu would rather the other party be a little greedy and have some minor flaws. As long as the family is simple and not troublesome, and there is only one person coming to her house, she is not afraid of not being able to keep an eye on him. She is not a fool. Doesn't she think that her subordinates like Hu Zhen are eating for free?
Having invited someone to her house like this, she doesn't have to feel guilty no matter how she treats him.

But although I haven't had much contact with Yang Wu, his eyes can't lie. He is truly an honest and kind man. He is not angry at being treated like this. He is simply too honest.

A person who has lost his parents and is kicked out of the house should work hard and honestly to support himself. He should live a peaceful and happy life, get married and have children, and stop suffering for the rest of his life.

But being stared at by two pairs of eyes, Shi Liu's scalp was tingling, and he hurriedly said, "I'll think about it?"

Song breathed a sigh of relief and said, as long as she is willing to consider it, that's fine.

"Then I'll give you two days to think about it carefully."

"Yeah." Shi Liu nodded rapidly, "It's getting late, and I'm hungry. Shall we go find a restaurant to eat?"

I haven't been to Huangkou Town to eat yet, but Huang Yuanshi is familiar with it. She can tell which restaurant has the best food. She even joked, "Today, thanks to my niece's granddaughter, I'm going to eat at the best restaurant in town!"

"Come on, come on, your niece's granddaughter will treat you!" Shi Liu patted his chest with great pride.

When we returned to Xiahe Village, the sun had already set. Large patches of red clouds spread across the sky, illuminating the village with a rosy glow.

Village head Liu and clan leader Li were all sitting under a tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool air, waiting for her to come back.

Seeing the carriage go down the stone bridge, several people hurriedly looked at the people.

Shi Liu jumped off the carriage and asked Song to go back first, and she would walk back later.

"Grandpa, clan leader, great uncle, grandpa, village chief uncle." Pomegranate walked under the tree and greeted everyone one by one.

"Where did Shi Liu go? Did she go to the city?" Village Chief Liu asked out of curiosity, not really wanting to inquire about Shi Liu's whereabouts. The Song family didn't make a fuss about recruiting a live-in son-in-law. It's not good to talk about something that hasn't been decided yet, so, let alone Chief Li and his family, even the Jiang and Huang families didn't know about it.

Shi Liu naturally didn't say much. He just mentioned it briefly and then asked about the situation of Village Chief Liu helping to find someone.

Village Chief Liu also talked about business, "We have already found the odd jobs for the house construction. When people heard that your family was looking for workers, they didn't hesitate at all. There are still many people. I don't think so many people are needed. Many of them have withdrawn. Shi Liu, you decide when to start the work, just give the order!"

"As for the job recruitment, I have informed everyone I can, but they still don't believe there is such a good job! Once they heard you were recruiting, they all believed it! I think if the word gets out, someone will come to our village tomorrow!"

Shi Liu listened and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

Village Chief Liu waved his hands and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard."

Shi Liu said, "We will start construction tomorrow at the entrance of the village. We need to clear the weeds and rocks first and compact the ground. I will ask my eldest cousin to look after this. But you, the clan leader, have more experience in building houses, so I'll need you to help oversee it."

Patriarch Li and Li Yishan nodded without hesitation. These old guys couldn't help with anything else, but it was no problem for them to help Shi Liu keep an eye on these things. Even if Shi Liu didn't say anything, they would have gone around more often.

Although it is about pomegranates, it is also a big event in their village!

After saying this, Shi Liu strolled back home with Old Man Li.

The workshop had just finished work, and workers coming out along the way inevitably ran into the grandparents and grandchildren, and naturally they all greeted them warmly.

Going further, we met workers who were leaving the sheep workshop on the other side of the stone bridge. No matter they were from this village, Shanghe Village opposite, or the village in front, it was more convenient to go home directly from Xianggupo to Xiahe Village than from Tianbao Village.

Everyone naturally greeted the grandparents and grandchildren, showing even more enthusiasm than the villagers themselves.

Old Man Li walked along with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

I couldn't help but look at my granddaughter beside me.

Normally when Shi Liu was not around, the workers would not greet him so enthusiastically - but to Shi Liu, it was as if they had something extra.

Li Laodi couldn't tell what the extra two points were. Was it respect? Flattery? It didn't seem appropriate.

I can't figure it out without reading.

Old Man Li shook his head and didn't think too much about it. He just knew that pomegranates were powerful.

As we entered the house, three generations of the Yuan, Song and Lin families, as well as Li Jihe, were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting. Dinner was still a while away and Li Rongzhang had not come home from school yet.

After the grandparents and grandchildren entered the pavilion and there were no outsiders around, Song began to talk about what had happened today.

"Dad, Mom, you both have to talk about pomegranates. I think Yang Wu is pretty good—"

After telling Shi Liu everything about how she tested Yang Wu today, Song also hoped that two more people would be able to analyze the situation carefully.

"It sounds like this young man is not bad—" Old Mrs. Yuan nodded and looked at Shi Liu, saying earnestly: "Shi Liu, since we have decided to recruit a son-in-law, we have to recruit a son-in-law like this, so that you can control him. Those who are too opinionated and scheming will not work."

Father Li couldn't help but agree, "Yes, Pomegranate, think about it carefully."

He no longer insisted on marrying his granddaughter to a scholar or not. After all, those scholars before her didn't succeed, so they were not the right match.

He felt that marrying a son-in-law was a good idea, and everyone would be happy with it. After all, his granddaughter's business foundation was in the village, so it would be convenient for her to stay in the village and not marry out.
