Chapter 8: I’m getting married

March 27, 2023Ai Hrist

Shi Qingluo’s words stunned Mrs. Kong and her children.

It was the first time they had heard such bold words and encountered such a situation.

Mrs. Kong fell into deep thought, while Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi felt a little excited and apprehensive.

The two of them like Shi Qingluo very much, especially her temperament. It would be great if she could be their sister-in-law.

Shi Qingluo didn’t urge Mrs. Kong. Seeing the clothes drying in the yard, she mentioned it and went to change them first.

Seeing this, Mrs. Kong went to Xiao Hanzheng’s room.

Seeing that the redness on her son’s face had faded a lot, she hurriedly touched his forehead and found that it was not as hot as before.

She put her hands together, and the medicine given by Miss Shi worked, thank God!

Mrs. Kong stared at her son for a while, and then said: “Zheng’er, you are almost seventeen, it’s time to get married.”

“Our family is in a dire situation, there is nothing to gain, and it will be difficult to marry someone.”

“But if a girl is willing to marry you despite this, she must be a good girl.”

“So mother will help you marry a wife first.”

“Mother and your siblings like her, I believe you would like her too.”

“She saved your brother and sister, and the medicine given to you now is also effective. She is our family’s great benefactor.”

“Didn’t everyone say that life-saving grace should be promised by the body? We can do it the other way around, let’s marry with your body.”

She reached out and shook her son’s hand as if to cheer herself up: “Then it’s settled.”

After a while, she got up and went out with a firm face.

Seeing Shi Qingluo sitting in the yard chatting with her son and daughter, Mrs. Kong’s brows and eyes brimmed with a smile.

She had been thinking about what kind of wife she would find for her son.

In fact, in her heart, she has always hoped to find a stronger eldest daughter-in-law, so that she will not be afraid of the people in the old house and can protect their own small home.

Now Shi Qingluo fits her fantasy of a daughter-in-law in all aspects, which was very good.

She walked over and sat down, looked at Shi Qingluo, and asked seriously: “Miss Shi, are you really willing to marry into our family?”

Shi Qingluo nodded: “That’s right, otherwise I wouldn’t have brought it up.”

Mrs. Kong smiled and said, “I agree with what you said, and I can promise that after you get married, we will be a family.”

“I will treat you like a daughter.”

“I know that I am soft-tempered and not suitable for being the head of the family, so if you marry, this family will be yours.”

She said nervously: “But I also have a request, I hope you treat Zheng’er, Yi’er, and Li’er well.”

Shi Qingluo smiled lightly and said: “Of course, the feelings should be mutual. As long as you treat me well, of course, I will give an equal return.”

Then she promised: “Don’t worry, if I marry here, I will not bully you three, mother and children. And I won’t let others bully them.”

She thought it was good to be straightforward and make promises to each other.

After all, she didn’t marry Xiao Hanzheng because of feelings, it was entirely because she took a fancy to the Xiao family.

Now that they have discussed it, it will not be easy to have barriers or knots in the future.

Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi’s eyes brightened: “We will have a sister-in-law.”

Mrs. Kong thought for a while and asked, “Then when will you get married? Do you want to wait for Zheng’er to wake up?”

Shi Qingluo thought of the behavior of the Xiao Family: “Why don’t I marry the day after tomorrow? Under the premise that I like Xiao Hanzheng, so no one will feel too anxious.”

“If the people in the Xiao family’s old house dare to find fault again, I will clean them up for you.”

For her people, she especially protects her shortcomings and does not allow others to bully her.

“And I don’t really want to face those incredible people in my family every day.”

The cooking of the women in the Shi family was too difficult.

Shi Qingluo expressed that she didn’t want to wrong her stomach anymore.

Mrs. Kong was surprised again, should it be in such a hurry?

But it makes sense after thinking about it.

She also heard that Shi Qinglou’s life in the Shi Family was difficult, otherwise, she wouldn’t be sent to the Taoist Temple since she was a child.

“Will the Shi Family agree?”

She blushed a little and said: “And our family can’t afford much money for the dowry now.”

Shi Qingluo smiled and waved her hands: “There is no need to give a bride price, so the things I bring are considered my property, not dowry.”

“I will take care of the people from the Shi Family.”

Those top performers probably wish she could get married as soon as possible.

She said again: “Since it’s in a rush, there is no need to hold a wedding banquet.”

The money in Mrs. Kong’s hand was given by the patriarch to treat Xiao Hanzheng just now, and the other party was still comatose, so there was no need to waste money on the wedding banquet.

The same goes for the betrothal gift, she doesn’t want to be taken advantage of by the Shi Family.

If she doesn’t like to be with Xiao Hanzheng in the future, or if he has someone he likes, then she will make up with him.

In the past two days, she looked through the books brought back by the owner of the body and found that there was a Daliang Code of Laws in it.

After looking through it, she found that as long as a woman has been married and has no children for three years, if she doesn’t return to her natal family after divorce, she can set up a female household at her discretion.

She wanted to marry into the Xiao family because this law could be used as a way out.

If she can get along with Xiao Hanzheng and become a real couple, then they can just hold another wedding banquet in the future.

She will not be wrong or force herself.

She asked Mrs. Kong: “Then it’s settled, you’ll marry the day after tomorrow?”

Mrs. Kong felt embarrassed, “Then you marry first, and when the conditions of the family improve in the future, I will ask Zheng’er to hold a wedding banquet for you.”

“I will make up for you separately as a dowry gift in the future.”

“Okay!” Shi Qingluo didn’t care about this, but since Mrs. Kong can say that, it means that the other party has a heart.

So the two discussed getting married, how to get married, etc.

In the end, Mrs. Kong asked: “Then I will ask someone to come to your house to propose marriage tomorrow?”

She could see that Shi Qingluo didn’t care about these things, so she emphasized: “This is necessary, otherwise I’m afraid that someone will talk about you behind your back.”

Even if they get married soon, they still have to propose, and if the Shi family agrees, and then Shi Qinglou can get married.

If they don’t talk about marriage, in the future, others might say that Shi Qingluo marries without a matchmaker, and can be considered a concubine.

When Shi Qingluo saw Mrs. Kong standing in her perspective, her smile deepened: “Okay, then you can ask someone to go to Shi Family’s house to propose marriage tomorrow morning.”

Mrs. Kong nodded: “Okay!”

After discussing it, Shi Qinglou left a few fish and left first.

Mrs. Kong went to the patriarch’s house to tell the story and wanted to ask the patriarch’s wife to help her go to Shi Family’s house to propose marriage tomorrow.

Lying in the room, Xiao Hanzheng seemed to be having some kind of nightmare. His brows tightly frowned, and his forehead was covered with a fine sweat.

He struggled to wake up, but couldn’t open his eyes.

At this time, he still doesn’t know that he was about to have a little wife.

*

At Shi Family’s house.

Shi Qingluo returned home.

As soon as she entered the yard, the members of the Shi Family kept looking at the three fish she was carrying.

Shi Qingluo threw the fish on the table, and commanded arrogantly, “Braise the fish.”

She emphasized, “Fry it in oil first and then stew it.”

Old Lady Shi’s face sank, “I don’t have much oil at home.”

Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow at her, “Grandma, do you want to taste the taste of rattan?”

Old Lady Shi: “… …”

No, she doesn’t want to.

Thinking of a few daughters-in-law who were screaming in the kitchen a few days ago, she was in a bad mood.

She snorted with a strong desire to survive, “Fry, cook it for her.”

She wished she could fry this evil star together.

It would be great if this evil star could be sent away, she couldn’t take it anymore.

Mrs. Niu and the others also had the same idea.

Just when they were thinking this way, Shi Qingluo said: “I’m getting married!”

All the members of the Shi Family stared at her with wide eyes in shock.
