Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

But when she really faced her son, Qiu Rongrong suddenly didn't know how to start the conversation.

Xie Anyi looked at his mother who was sitting opposite him and seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and he really couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Mom, what happened to you today? If you have something to say, just say it."

Qiu Rongrong looked at him, opened her mouth, and finally decided that since she had come this far, she might as well go for it and asked directly, "Son, do you... dislike women?"

After saying this, Qiu Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Anyi was stunned for a moment and didn't react: "What?"

"I say, do you dislike women? Or do you like men? Don't worry, just tell me. I can accept it. I have seen the world now. There is nothing I can't accept." Qiu Rongrong even closed her eyes, looking ready to die, waiting for the verdict.

Xie Anyi was stunned and jumped up: "No, Mom, where did you hear that? Who told you that I like women??? No, I like men???"

"Ah? You're not?" Qiu Rongrong was puzzled: "Then why are you..."

Only then did Xie Anyi realize that his mother had misunderstood him.

"No, I'm not." How could he explain this? He just had no interest in those girls, and every time he saw those noble ladies, he would inexplicably think of someone.

Thinking of this, Xie Anyi suddenly asked: "Mom, what exactly is it like to like someone?"

"Ah? This..." Qiu Rongrong herself didn't know. After all, she couldn't tell whether she liked Xie Yushan or not. After all, before getting married, she had never even seen him, but only heard of his name. At that time, it was all about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. She had no right to choose. As for liking him? Did she like Xie Yushan? Not necessarily. It was just that she married him, so she had to fulfill the responsibilities of being a wife and the mistress of the house.

But they were definitely happy before, but their greed later wiped out the only affection they had.

"If you like someone, you may think of him all the time." Qiu Rongrong thought of what she was thinking when she was happy with Xie Yushan.

At that time, I really looked forward to him, being with him, and spending time with him under the moonlight.

Xie Anyi lowered his head, thinking. Qiu Rongrong was about to ask him why he asked that suddenly, when she saw Xie Anyi raise his head and ask again: "What if that person doesn't like me?"

Qiu Rongrong rolled her eyes at him: "That just shows that you are really bad."

Xie Anyi: "...No, mother, no personal attacks, what's wrong with your son?"

Qiu Rongrong came back to her senses at this time, her eyes suddenly lit up: "What did you say? Son, are you saying that you have someone you like? Really? Which girl? Mother will find someone to propose marriage right now."

Xie Anyi's face turned red unconsciously, and he explained: "No, I just said that."

Qiu Rongrong smiled: "I'm telling you, your mother, when you take off your pants I know whether you are going to fart or poop. Tell me, which girl is she? Let me see if you are worthy of her."

"..."

"Don't mess around. I don't know what they mean." Xie Anyi said.

Qiu Rongrong reached out and poked him: "You didn't ask?"

Xie Anyi shook his head: "No."

"Then you should ask."

"She probably doesn't like me."

"What?"

"Just, I guess."

I was leaving, but she didn't even come to see me off. Maybe she didn't like me.

After listening for a long time, Qiu Rongrong finally understood. It turned out that her son was in love with her unrequitedly?

"waste."

After holding it in for a long time, Qiu Rongrong only said these two words. Looking at Li Yi and then at the boy from the Jin family, they were both better at chasing girls than the other. Even a dull guy like Wen Jun could win Lan Xin back. Why was her own son so useless?

"So, whose girl is she?" Qiu Rongrong was still curious about this question.

Xie Anyi hesitated for a long time before speaking in a low voice.

"I seem to have heard of this name." Qiu Rongrong recalled that it seemed that the manager from the northern border had mentioned it before.

She seemed to remember that the girl was said to be smart and quick-witted, and if possible, she could be brought along so that she would have an extra helper in the future business in the North.

From this perspective, it seems to be very suitable for their family.

Qiu Rongrong's eyes lit up.

Xie Anyi thought that the matter was over. Before he could figure out what was going on, Qiu Rongrong arranged for someone to pack his things and put them on a carriage, under the pretext of asking him to get her daughter-in-law back. If he couldn't get her back, he didn't have to come back.

Just like that, just after Xie Anyi had returned from the northern border for a while, he was packed up by Qiu Rongrong and sent back to the northern border.

Watching the carriage and the escort go away, no matter how Xie Anyi called her from inside the carriage, Qiu Rongrong didn't show any mercy at all.

"Miss, is it okay?" Qiaoyan looked at the carriage going away with some concern.

Qiu Rongrong clapped her hands and turned to walk in. "What are you afraid of? If he can't even handle this, how can I trust him with all the business in our family in the future? Don't worry about it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As long as he doesn't die, that's fine."

Qiaoyan sighed helplessly and prayed silently for Xie Anyi in her heart, hoping that everything would go well for him.

Who would have thought that this absence would last for a year? When Qiu Rongrong received a letter from the northern border again, it was Shi Wen who wrote to her asking if she wanted to go and see Xie Anyi's marriage in person.

Qiu Rongrong flipped through the letter with satisfaction, and she could hardly suppress the smile.

"Miss, shall we go? After all, it is the young master's lifelong event." Master Qiaoyan was happy for Xie Anyi. After all, the young master had won the girl with his own ability.

Qiu Rongrong said, "Write a letter back to Wenfa and ask him to go to the Chen family to propose marriage as your uncle. Also, have you prepared the betrothal gifts? It will take too long to send them from here to the Northern Territory. You should exchange them all for silver notes and send them to Wenfa to have him prepare them. Make sure the betrothal gifts are generous. Also, bring another 100,000 taels of silver notes as betrothal money. I won't go because the journey to the Northern Territory is long. Deputy General Chen's family will understand."

On the day of the engagement, only Wenfa and Zhao, two of Xie Anyi's elders, came. In addition, there were several generals from the Xia family who were also considered elders. Only Xie Anyi's mother was not present, so his uncle Wenfa acted as the agent.

Lieutenant General Chen did not think that the Qiu family did not value their daughter. It was mainly because when he looked at the betrothal gifts in this yard and the betrothal money that could not even fit on the thick tray, and all of it was in silver bills, he really could not help but understand why the journey to the north was too far and it was not convenient for his mother-in-law to come over.

Originally, Wenfa planned to convert all the betrothal money into silver, but one hundred thousand taels was too much cash for several banks in the northern border to come up with for the time being. Moreover, after the betrothal money was paid, it had to be converted into silver notes again. Since they were all military generals, naturally they did whatever was easier.

As for the wedding, they would hold it first in the northern border, and then the couple would go to the capital to hold another one, and everyone would be happy.
