The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 429: Not Getting Married Is Good

Zuo Cheng came back to report to Shi Liu.

Shi Liu laughed so hard that he slapped the table. Then he instructed Zuo Chengdao, "Have someone keep an eye on him. If Zhang Hong dares to come to Xianggupo again, I will beat him up every time he comes, just like I did today. Beat him up so that he won't dare to come again!"

Old Yuan and Song couldn't help laughing, "You are so mischievous!"

"He deserves it! This is how you deal with people like him!" If he comes again and again and is not afraid of being beaten, she will have someone cripple his legs and see how he reacts!
Anyway, don’t even think about harming my aunt and the others, you scumbag!

After taking a sip of water, Shi Liu couldn't help but be curious about another thing, "What family is my great-uncle talking about?"

Knowing that Zhang Hong was severely beaten, Old Yuan felt relieved, "It was a family from her brother's village, who asked her sister-in-law to come to your house and ask your uncle to help find out the truth.

It was said that he was a widower whose wife died of illness, and had been dead for several years. The man raised a son and had never remarried. His family had about 20 acres of land, and he had the skill of making lanterns, so he opened a lantern shop in the town. He and his son were in the shop every day, and the land at home was rented out to villagers for farming. His family was quite well off.

I asked your aunt to find out. This man has a good temper. People who know him all say so. His son is only nine years old this year. He is studying in school. He is also a sensible child who does not worry people. His age is suitable for your aunt.

He said that if my aunt is willing to marry him and live with him, she can just be the proprietress of the shop and sell lanterns. I can also take my three daughters with me and raise them as my own daughters."

Shi Liu listened and pouted without thinking, "No wonder my aunt doesn't want to do it. If it were me, I wouldn't want to do it either."

Song glared at her, "Why is this marriage not good? He's the right age, and he's good-tempered and caring. Even if there's another son, that child is sensible, and it's not bad to treat him well. Besides, your aunt is not too old, and she can still have another child. They also treat you and your aunt as their own daughters. The two families can live together, and your aunt will have a companion who understands you. How can it be bad?"

Shi Liu looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a look that said, "You don't understand."

"I don't understand what's good about it. Is it enough to just talk about life? They said they would treat Dani and the others as their own daughters? Who knows if they will really go there?

I felt it was troublesome when I heard this. If my aunt married him, she would just be the boss's wife and help sell lanterns? Wouldn't she have to take care of the housework? Wouldn't she have to serve the father and son? There were so many trivial matters such as food, drink and clothes - it wasn't easy either.

How good is my sister-in-law now? Isn't it good to be the manager of the sheep workshop? With a salary of two taels of silver per month, I can earn money by myself and spend it by myself. I feel confident!
If this marriage is really arranged, I'm afraid they won't want my aunt to continue working in the sheep workshop and not take care of the family, right?"

After hearing what Shi Liu said, Old Mrs. Yuan also felt that it seemed to make sense?
"The town of Changkou is not close to here, and it is inconvenient for your aunt to travel back and forth. If she lives in the Yang Workshop, they will definitely not agree - after all, they want to have a woman to take care of the family."

"That's it!" Shi Liu spread her hands, "So my aunt doesn't want to do it! Isn't it fun to be a housekeeper? Why do you want to be a nanny?"

"Grandma, if you really can't bear to see my aunt alone without someone to care for her, why not find her a son-in-law? Anyway, my aunt is living a good life now. How can it be possible for her to marry off with Dani and the others?"

Old Yuan listened and said, "How can it be so easy to find a live-in son-in-law?"

Ugh.

Forget it, she should pay more attention to her daughter in the future.

Dani will also get married in two years—

If you don’t want to look for it anymore, then don’t look for it anymore.

Seeing her grandmother's relieved expression, Shi Liu also breathed a sigh of relief.

I went to the sheep workshop in the afternoon and told my sister-in-law about this when I saw her.

Li Chunfang also breathed a sigh of relief. "I really don't want to look for another one. Seeing that Dani is about to get married, why should I get married? I think the present is good enough. I don't want to go through the days of serving my parents-in-law and my husband and children anymore."

Shi Liu couldn't help but nod, saying that her aunt was clear-headed and that was good.

"Let's wait and see in the future, whether it's Erni or Sanni, if they can find a son-in-law, that'd be great, if not, when they are all married, you can live with us! You can choose from my eldest brother, second brother, Zhang Ge'er, and me, whoever you like, we will take care of you in your old age, and it will be lively living together!" "Okay." Li Chunfang felt warm in her heart and agreed, but she couldn't help thinking, how could that be possible, Shi Liu is going to get married too, what would it look like if she went with her? Besides, Rong Zong and the others are also their own family, it would be inconvenient after all.

She thought that when the time comes she would buy a little maid to keep her by her side so that she would have someone to talk to and not be lonely.

When she is old and can't move, and is about to pass away, Rong Zong and the others will not abandon her. It will be good to have someone to see her off to the end of her life.

Why should I find a husband's family to frame myself?

Seeing her niece's sad face, Li Chunfang was startled and said hurriedly: "Shi Liu, don't be scared by your aunt. There are not all families like the Zhang family in this world. Look at our Li family, isn't it good? There is no one who tortures his daughter-in-law to beat his own wife. The Fan family is a family of scholars, more reasonable, I think it is even better.

My sister-in-law just thinks that at my age, there is no need for me to get married again."

Shi Liu smiled when she heard this. How could she not understand what her aunt meant? She was afraid that her daughter would be afraid of getting married because of her, so she was trying to make up for it.

"I know, sister-in-law."

Even if the incident with my sister-in-law had not happened, she had already seen that the trivialities of marriage could lead to two people in love becoming strangers in the end and never seeing each other again.

However, there is no need to say this.

-

Two days later, in the morning, two horse-drawn carriages and a dozen horsemen drove out of Xiahe Village and headed for Dafengji Wharf.

When they arrived at the dock, they boarded a chartered boat along with the carriage. The boatman untied the ropes and the boat slowly sailed away from the dock.

The Luoshui River is vast and majestic, and as the boat moves forward, layer upon layer of ripples spread out on both sides.

The green mountains and villages on both sides of the river are stacked one after another, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

"Is this what it feels like to ride on a boat? I feel like I'm flying, it's so comfortable!" Old Man Li grinned.

Li Yishan, who was holding the railing of the boat with a pipe in his mouth, also had a look of curiosity and excitement on his face.

On the other hand, Chief Li seemed a little calmer. After all, he had taken a boat to the provincial capital once before, but the boat he took was not such a big one.

This boat has been chartered by Shi Liu, and only they are here. How generous!
Patriarch Li became even more excited thinking about this.

In the boat hall behind the three old men, three old ladies, Ms. Yuan, Ms. Chen and Ms. Yang, sat together. They were more restrained in their excitement.

"It's windy outside, why don't you come in quickly? Be careful not to catch a headache. Don't let Shi Liu worry about you." Old Mrs. Chen grumbled to them.

"That's right, you are so old, but you are still like a child."

The "third kid" chuckled and then reluctantly went into the living room to sit down.

Shi Liu poured them some hot tea and said with a smile, "We'll have to take a whole day on this boat. You can take a rest first. When the sun comes out at noon, you can go sit on the deck. If you like boating, we can go boating on the lake when we get to the city!"

It is still cool in the morning in autumn, and the elderly are naturally sensitive to cold, so they must be careful.

This time she is bringing the old men and women to the city to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she has to take good care of them!
