Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 136 Double Happiness
General Fan was more and more satisfied as he looked at him. He asked in a very gentle tone, "Are you the second son of the Xiao family?"

"Yes, you are Shiba's father. You are so lucky. Our family has made five flavors of crayfish today." Xiao Libo said carelessly.

He obviously did not realize the hidden meaning behind General Fan's gentleness. He just felt that General Fan, who was also a general, was very kind and not at all as scary as his elder brother.

"Haha. As expected of my brother... Brother Xiao's son. He is a really nice kid who is hospitable and warm to guests."

General Fan still changed the word "son-in-law" that he was about to say, but he was very happy in his heart, because this kid was honest.

Although he didn't know what crayfish was, he saw his son-in-law swallowing his saliva while talking, so he knew it must be a good thing.

"No, no, Brother Fan, you're too kind." Father Xiao was very happy to hear General Fan praising his son, but he pretended to be calm on the surface and spoke in a reserved and polite manner.

Seeing how modest Father Xiao was, General Fan became even more satisfied with his son-in-law: "Second Young Master, you are not married yet, right?"

Xiao Libo was stunned. Why did General Fan suddenly ask this? He turned his head in confusion and looked at Xiao Litao who came in with him.

Xiao Litao ignored his second brother's confused look, and walked up to General Fan with a smile.

He bowed with both hands and said respectfully: "Xiao family's third son Li Tao greets General Fan. My second brother is indeed unmarried."

After Xiao Litao finished speaking, Xiao's father also understood General Fan's intention and quickly said, "Yes! My second son is still unmarried, how about letting Libo marry your daughter?"

He really doesn't care much about his children, that's because he doesn't have the ability, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know the importance of his children's marriage.

If someone was willing to marry their daughter to his son, he would still be extremely happy, just like one day half a year ago.

After the morning court session, Minister Wen stopped him forcefully and, in a condescending tone, asked his eldest son to go to the Wen Mansion to propose marriage to his eldest daughter.

He agreed without hesitation. What was the use of giving alms? It was not up to him to decide whether it would succeed or not.

But when he returned home and told the story, his cold eldest son smiled at him for the first time and thanked him politely.

At that moment, he felt that being despised by Minister Wen was not a big deal, because his eldest son really wanted to get married.

It was also at that time that he developed some affection for his eldest daughter-in-law, whom he had never met.

What surprised him even more was that his eldest daughter-in-law was the lucky star of their Xiao family. Since she got married, his eldest son's leg was actually cured.

He went to the border again to fight the enemy and make meritorious service, and his other sons, who only knew how to fight crickets, all stood out.

Even the daughters and concubines who only knew how to have affairs behind closed doors followed the eldest daughter-in-law to make clothes and earn money.

Seeing Brother Xiao’s smiling face, General Fan thought that he also liked his daughter very much, so he laughed without hesitation.

After laughing, he took the initiative to say: "In this case, Fan will go back home today to make preparations, and then notify Erlang to come and propose marriage."

In fact, General Fan wanted to marry his daughter to Xiao Libo immediately, because he knew that neither his mother nor his wife would agree to this marriage.

Thinking about those things gave him a headache, but he would not tell his family’s troubles in front of his in-laws. What if they changed their minds and decided not to marry him?

Xiao Libo's eyes widened instantly and his expression became unpredictable. What did General Fan mean by this?
He actually agreed to marry his daughter to him?
I wouldn't even dare to do this in my dreams!

But this kind of thing is of course a good thing. Xiao Libo pinched his arm hard, "Ouch, it really hurts, hehe... I'm not dreaming."

He quickly stepped forward and said in a servile manner: "Uncle Fan, don't worry. I, Erlang, will definitely take good care of my eighteenth sister." Seeing Xiao Libo's lively appearance, General Fan became more and more pleased. Such a stupid person should not bully Nannan.

Fan Shiba was stunned. Second Brother Xiao knew that she was insulted by that beast from the Yin family, so why was he still willing to marry her?

Sister Yun said that women like them could do nothing but die or become nuns, and the marquis's wife was kind enough to just let them hide on the farm and live a miserable life.

She didn't want to die, nor did she want to be a nun, and she didn't want to live in shame, but she also didn't think that anyone would be willing to marry her!
She had a childhood sweetheart in the northwest, who was the third son of the local county magistrate.

She had been married for a year and still hadn't gotten engaged. The reason was that her father looked down on her husband and thought the magistrate of the northwestern county was too poor.

Later, she herself didn't want to get married because of something her childhood sweetheart once said.

He said that as long as they had done it, her father would agree even if he didn't agree, and no one would marry a dirty woman.

The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. That's why she wanted to go back to the capital city with her father to visit the Fan family, and by the way, listen to her father's advice and find a young man from aristocratic family to marry.

After being insulted by the beasts of the Yin family, she wanted to escape desperately, and also wanted to go back to the northwest to see if the man she had known since childhood would still be willing to marry her.

Fan Shiba knew that the chances of him marrying her were slim, but that was her belief that kept her alive.

She kept grumbling about going back to the Northwest, but in fact she was very panicked inside. She felt she was being abused, and the Fan family would not openly accept her.

But she never dreamed that the second brother Xiao, who was handsome and good at raising pigs, said that he was willing to marry her.

She asked foolishly: "Second Brother Xiao, are you really willing to marry me?"

"I really want to marry you. I didn't say it before because I felt I was not worthy of you." Xiao Libo stepped forward and stood opposite her, his eyes sincere and warm.

Wen Qingwan said admiringly: "You two are a talented couple, and you are affectionate and loyal. It's really rare to see you. I can't bear to take my eyes off you."

Xiao Libo blushed and smiled, "Sister-in-law just knows how to tease me. The head of Taohua Village will come to discuss the marriage of my fifth brother with my father later."

"This is a good thing. You two brothers will get married on the same day." Father Xiao smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Hahaha... Congratulations, Brother Xiao, it's a double happiness." General Fan said excitedly after laughing three times.

It would be best to hold the wedding in this farm tomorrow, rather than telling other mothers and ladies who might interfere.

As a general of cavalry, he cares about the country, commands the three armies, and serves the court. How could he get involved in these inner-house struggles?

As they were talking, Xiao Wu walked in with the village chief of Taohua Village and his little daughter.

Xiao Libo and Fan Shiba's marriage came first, and then Xiao Wu and Li Chunhua's engagement was decided before the dinner.

The specific wedding date of the four people will be discussed after dinner, and everyone enjoys the meal happily.

General Fan's worried mother was scolding Mrs. Fan San angrily, "Xiao Jiu said that the soldiers who were fighting against the bandits have all returned to Beijing, why didn't Lao San return home?"

"How would my daughter-in-law know?" Mrs. Fan San felt very aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say that her husband must have gone to look for that bitch Eighteen.

"I don't know! You don't know! If you hadn't lost Eighteen, would the Third Brother not have come in even when he was at the door?"
