Chapter 474 Big Misunderstanding
Chapter 474 Big Misunderstanding
"How come this child has changed so much after growing up? No, mother, I won't go to the shop tomorrow. Yamato and I will go back to Jiangjia Village. We can't let him down. I'll go and test Hongxia's attitude.
If she agrees, our two families should quickly settle the marriage, preferably by the end of the year. Hongxia is about to turn seventeen, and we can't delay it any longer. If we delay her until she is eighteen, how can she stay in the village? Those old ladies are more poisonous than each other, like arsenic, how can a young girl bear it."
Zhu Yingqiu slapped his thigh and said to Zhang Jinlan.
She looked anxious, and if it wasn't dark, she would have wanted to go back to Jiangjia Village right away.
"Okay, you go. We don't know whether Tongshui's words are true or false, and he won't say. You go ask Hongxia. Don't be too clear. Girls are shy. If Old Chen doesn't object, then it's settled. I think Hongxia is a good child. Old Chen and his wife are also good people. All their children are filial."
After Zhang Jinlan finished speaking, Jiang Shoujia also nodded.
It's settled.
Early the next morning.
The old couple got on the carriage and returned to Jiangjia Village.
When they arrived at the village, they didn't even go into the house, but parked the carriage directly in front of the Chen family's gate, so that everyone in the village was wondering whether the Jiang family was going to make money with the Chen family.
There were also many gossipy old ladies who took their stools and sat under the tree opposite the Chen family's house.
They seemed to be chatting, but in fact, several pairs of eyes were investigating the Chen family's yard.
After exchanging pleasantries with the old couple of the Chen family for a while, Zhu Yingqiu came to the yard and pulled Chen Hongxia aside.
"Hongxia, I saw you two walking towards the city gate on the street yesterday. I called you, but you probably didn't hear me. As for Tongshui, ahem, how is your relationship? Has he ever bullied you? If he has, I will go home and beat him to death." Zhu Yingqiu asked tentatively.
"Bully me? No! Third Brother Jiang is a very nice person. Really, he has never bullied me. He is very nice to me. He even treated me to noodles yesterday!" Chen Hongxia thought that the bullying that Zhu Yingqiu mentioned meant beating and scolding.
So he quickly explained.
I was afraid that Zhu Yingqiu would misunderstand.
"That's good. He is a bad boy. He should treat you. It's unreasonable to let a girl spend money. It's just a bowl of noodles. It's not worth much. Tsk, this boy, why is he so stingy? Where did he spend the pocket money I usually gave him? Why didn't he take you to the restaurant for dinner? He is too stingy. His father and I are not like this. Who does he look like?"
Zhu Yingqiu was shocked by her son's stinginess.
Treat your loved one to some noodles?
Fortunately Hongxia didn't mind. If it were someone else, they would have ignored him long ago.
Hongxia is such a good child.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yingqiu looked at Chen Hongxia with even gentler eyes.
"Aunt, don't say that about Third Brother Jiang. He's really nice and his noodles are delicious. Restaurants are so expensive. Third Brother Jiang's money can be used to buy books. You don't have to treat me. By the way, Aunt, wait for me."
Chen Hongxia doesn't like to take advantage of others.
When she came back yesterday, she used her own savings to buy twenty eggs from her good friend in the village.
I left half for my sister-in-law.
She was thinking of sending it to Jiang Tongshui in town today, but when she woke up in the morning, she found her sister-in-law feeling a little unwell and there was no one to do the housework, so she thought of going tomorrow.
As a result, when Zhu Yingqiu came, Chen Hongxia prepared to give her the eggs that were stored in the house.
Let her take it back.
"Aunt, here, give these eggs to Brother Jiang San to nourish his body. He is studying in school. I heard that studying requires a lot of brainpower, so he needs to eat and drink well."
For Chen Hongxia.
Eggs are the best thing in the world.
If you are thin, you can use eggs to nourish your body. If you are pregnant, you can also use eggs to nourish your body.
A universal tonic.
But she seldom eats it.
It’s too expensive, only one cent for each one, and the most important thing is that it won’t fill you up, it’s better to buy a steamed bun.
"Good boy, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I like you. I will make the decision and agree to this."
Zhu Yingqiu took the basket and patted the back of Chen Hongxia's hand again.
His smile was so kind.
Chen Hongxia felt something strange in her heart.
She just gave me an egg, there's no need to laugh like that, right?
However, she didn't think much about it and responded to Zhu Yingqiu with a smile.
"Look, Hongxia is still thinking about Tongshui's study. She asked me to bring this egg to Tongshui to nourish his body. Tsk tsk, she really cares about him. Such a good girl, but Tongshui, this stinky boy, doesn't cherish her. No matter how we asked him yesterday, he refused to admit it. See what I said, the two of them must be in love."
At that time, Jiang Dahe came out of the house.
The couple got into the carriage while talking.
Then leave the village.
Didn't go home the whole time.
Not long after they walked out, a few old ladies who came to watch the fun quickly ran to Chen's house to find out the news.
"Mrs. Cui, what did the Dahe couple come to your house for just now? What business do they have?" one of them asked excitedly.
"No, he just stopped by my house to ask about chestnuts and stuff, and he didn't say anything." Mrs. Cui was also puzzled.
The couple came to her house and chatted about this and that, and finally talked about their granddaughter.
He said that his granddaughter Hongxia got along well with the three boys of the Jiang family, and asked Hongxia what she was doing in the town.
Mrs. Cui didn't want to think too deeply about it.
The Jiang family is rich, so why would they be interested in her granddaughter? Therefore, she was very puzzled.
"That's it? That's all?" The person asking the question curled her lips and didn't believe it at all. She thought that Mrs. Cui didn't want to say it.
So, he gave Mrs. Cui a cold look.
"Really? Why would I lie to you? I didn't say anything. Okay, you guys go now. I still have to cook brown sugar eggs for my granddaughter-in-law. I don't want to chat with you anymore."
My granddaughter-in-law was not feeling well, so my granddaughter went to town yesterday to buy some brown sugar, and brought back some eggs in the evening.
It’s just right for cooking brown sugar eggs, which is the best thing for the body and also for the fetus.
There is no news.
The old ladies lost interest and turned away.
There was nothing to do in winter and crops could not be planted in the fields, so they gathered in one of their living rooms and chatted about gossip.
Almost all the private matters of the whole village were discussed.
At this time, if someone passed by the door and was seen by them, he would be in disgrace.
Zhu Yingqiu was so happy when she returned home.
She wanted to deliver the eggs to her youngest son's room personally, but when she entered, she found the room was empty.
"What's going on? Where is the third young master?" Zhu Yingqiu asked the maid in the courtyard.
"The third young master went to the school after you left. He said that the teacher wanted to see him and he would come back during the next break." The maid stopped sweeping the floor, stood up and answered her.
"You little brat, you run fast, otherwise I would have scolded you." Zhu Yingqiu's anger towards his youngest son had almost reached its peak.
Dare to run, right?
Then don't blame her as his mother, who made the decision for him.
A few days later, a carriage left Jiangjia and stopped when passing the city gate. A matchmaker got on and then the carriage drove towards Jiangjia Village.
