Chapter 72

When her daughter was praised, Shen was very happy, but when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but mutter,
"You're right. When my husband left, I felt like the sky was falling. Fortunately, God took pity on me and gave me hope. Xiangxiang will have a companion in the future."

Hearing Shen's emotion, Aunt Hua followed suit, thinking of the purpose of her coming, she still couldn't help but make a tentative sentence.

"Her aunt, Sister Xiang has a filial piety, so I shouldn't mention it, but I was entrusted by someone, so I came here to make trouble."

As Aunt Hua said, she coughed uncomfortably, "Sister Xiang will be ready soon, what is her aunt's plan?"

When Shen heard this, she was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Cough~, it's like this, someone asked me to ask, do you intend to be engaged to Sister Xiang?" After Aunt Hua finished speaking, she also felt a little embarrassed when she saw Shen's surprised face.

"May I ask, who asked you to inquire about it?" Shen calmed down, feeling a little unhappy, everyone around didn't know that Sister Xiang had filial piety, so why would someone propose marriage?

"Her aunt, don't worry, I didn't know about it until I talked about it."

Aunt Hua rubbed her teeth, her eyes flashed with guilt,
"Speaking of this person, he is a distant relative of mine. He has the reputation of being a scholar, and he will take the autumn exam this year. I heard that he is good at learning, and his chances of high school will be very high. Although his family is poor now, he will definitely have official career in the future. So, I hesitated again and again, and came here anyway.”

"I know a thing or two about your family's situation. If Sister Xiang is married well, she will be able to protect her natal family in the future. Her aunt will think about it carefully. This matter is not urgent. I will come here today to give you some air."

As Aunt Hua said, she looked at Shen's pensive face, took a sip of tea, and waited quietly.

Listening to Aunt Hua's explanation, Shen Shi struggled in her heart, and finally said apologetically,
"It's not because of me. A while ago, Xiangxiang's grandmother and aunt came over to make a fuss. It was also because of the hot filial marriage. I didn't agree. I felt that I owed my daughter too much. So, after much deliberation, I'd better wait for filial piety." Let’s talk after the deadline.”

Xiangxiang refused her mother-in-law's proposal. If she agreed to Aunt Hua's proposal, wouldn't it be obvious that she would slap her mother-in-law in the face, and she might make trouble at that time.

When Shen said this, Aunt Hua was not surprised, she nodded, "Her aunt's thinking is reasonable, after three years, Sister Xiang will be eighteen years old, it's a bit late, but there will be many offspring of late engagements, when the time comes I'm keeping an eye on it."

"Then thank you for your care. The regret of age is inevitable, but I have also thought about it. I will use half of the tea garden as a dowry for Xiangxiang, so my daughter will not be wronged."

Listening to Aunt Hua's tone, Shen changed her mind, and said what she planned in her heart, so that Aunt Hua could have a bottom line in her heart, and she would find a good person when the time came.

"Oh, her aunt, you really love your daughter, don't worry, this matter is on me, and when the time comes, I will definitely find a good husband for Sister Xiang."

To be honest, Aunt Hua really didn't expect Shen's to spend so much money. Half of the tea garden is [-] mu. For ordinary people, [-] mu of tea garden can completely support their families.

Marrying with such a family background, let alone being wronged, the in-law's family must be a bodhisattva.

"If you want me to say, it's really wise to miss this cusp, so as to save yourself from being bitten to death. We, Sister Xiang, are such a filial woman, what's wrong with being a bit tougher? I think it's good..."
