Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

The last sentence made it clear what Mrs. Chai was thinking, that's what she thought.

Before coming here, she asked about the temperament of the Li family's parents.

She felt that as long as she revealed the bride price that she could offer, Xia Shuanghua's adoptive parents would definitely be moved. Even if she was reluctant to put her words in a good tone, Luo's temperament would not be as bad as it was now. .

Even before coming here, she didn't think her second son was not worthy of Xia Shuanghua.

Although this group of people somehow managed to earn money, she still looked down on these outsiders from the bottom of her heart.

Her second son is honest, responsible, a good farmer, and also takes care of the family. In short, he is good at everything except being older. This group of short-sighted people can't stand it.

Mrs. Chai shouted angrily: "What do you people mean? If you don't like it, you won't be happy. What do you want to do if you keep catching me? Do you want to take action?"

I asked around in eight villages from ten miles to eight, whoever knows my second son wouldn’t praise one of them, and you still picked him? ! What's the use of being young? Don’t those who are careless need to be disciplined? What's more, who doesn't know that all the girls in your village..."

"Bah! You rotten old woman!" Prince Zheng spoke up at the right time and spat in Mrs. Chai's face, "Your precious son is so good, why are you looking for a wife? Isn't that a waste? I'll tell you This old lady, let’s go over there!”

Zhou Li, who was crowded outside the crowd and heard this, was listening to the quarrel and the conversation of the people in front. After figuring out the situation, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He thought Mrs. Chai was here to marry her eldest grandson. Who would have thought that Mrs. Chai was here to marry her eldest grandson. To her second child?

He also knew the situation of the Li family. She had a biological daughter and an adopted daughter. Mrs. Chai chose Xia Shuanghua Ande, who had no biological father or mother. What was her true intention when others couldn't understand?

Can’t carry it clearly! I really can’t understand it!

"Stop making noise!" He shouted to the crowd with a serious expression.

Unfortunately, his voice did not stop the quarrel, and those who heard it quickly moved out of the way.

Walking into the Li family's yard, he growled again with an ugly face: "Stop arguing! What's going on?!"

Mrs. Zheng was scolding vigorously, but when she was reminded by the woman beside her, she immediately stopped talking and looked at Zhou Lizheng with a smile on her face.

"Li Zheng, it's not like we from Jiuxi Village started making trouble. This Mrs. Chai came to find the matchmaker and she didn't know whether she was talking about relatives or enemies. We just couldn't stand it anymore and that's why we started to quarrel!"

Zhou Lizheng raised his hand to signal her not to say anything, and looked at Mrs. Chai, "Have you discussed it with your second son when you came to Jiuxi Village?"

"We have discussed it..." Mrs. Chai said with a guilty conscience. She went to find the matchmaker early in the morning, wanting to settle the matter as soon as possible. How could she have time to discuss it with the second child?

"You..." Zhou Lizheng stuttered, "Go back quickly! Don't be embarrassed!"

"Li Zheng, how could you just help them?!" Mrs. Chai refused, "The two families said they were getting married, even if they didn't like it, they would have broken up, kicked us out, and blocked me and Matchmaker Li here and scolded us so much. What's the point of being unpleasant? What's wrong with my second son marrying his second son? I heard that his two daughters are not..."

"Shut up!" Zhou Lizheng interrupted her with a low growl and gave her a hard look.

Everyone knows that it is difficult to save women and children after a disaster, not to mention the inevitable rumors that will spread after Wang Dacai's incident.

He couldn't listen to the talk behind his back and couldn't control it. If he said this in front of so many people, Dafeng Village and Jiuxi Village would not be able to live a peaceful life in the future.

While Mrs. Chai was still talking about it, Matchmaker Li took advantage of everyone's attention to focus on Mrs. Chai and carefully squeezed into the crowd. She finally walked out of the crowd, with a big bead of sweat falling on her forehead.

This Mrs. Chai is so deceptive!

She saw that Mrs. Chai was sure that this match would be successful, and she thought that a girl named Xia was not valued by her adoptive parents. Zhou Qiang and Xia Shuanghua had also met, but they didn't know who Zhou Qiang was at all, and her adoptive parents were very kind to the girl. It's not an exaggeration to say it's his own.

If she doesn't run away, the good reputation she has accumulated over the years will be lost! Who would dare to propose marriage to her again in the future?

Matchmaker Li walked away, muttering that she was disappointed in receiving the money.

Behind her, Zhou Lizheng frowned so hard that he could kill a fly. He turned to look at the crowd, "Dadong, go and call your third uncle!"

"Hey - it's coming, it's coming!" Old Man Zhou was out of breath running and squeezed in sideways.

"What's wrong? Why did it happen like this?" Old man Zhou's gray beard was blown up by the wind, looking a little funny and a little pitiful.

Zhou Lizheng took a deep breath and said, "You two, please go home as quickly as possible. Don't make it so ugly and make people laugh."

He thought for a moment and then added in a low voice, "Be careful what you say when you get back."

Mrs. Chai wanted to say something else, but Old Man Zhou stopped her and said, "Okay, okay, listen to the truth. If others don't like it, they won't like it. Let's just go home. What's the point of making a fuss?"

When Prince Zheng heard this, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes. If it weren't for Li Zheng's sake, she would still be able to fight for three hundred rounds.

After the old couple left, Zhou Lizheng's expression softened a little, and he said to Luo Shi: "The old couple are very worried about the marriage of their second son, and they also want Dafeng Village and Jiuxi Village to get married, so that they can move around more frequently in the future. Who has ever done something bad with good intentions..."

Naturally, Luo Shi didn't dare to show his face to Zhou Lizheng, so he could only nod his head, but he still felt unhappy.

She originally thought that after a long time, she could marry her two daughters, get married and have children, but she was a little discouraged by what happened today.

Zhou Lizheng said a few words of comfort and left. The people watching the excitement dispersed faster when they saw that there was no excitement.

In the end, only Luo Shi and Zheng Wangshi were left in the courtyard. Luo Shi finally had a smile on his face, "Thank you for being here, otherwise it would be a joke to outsiders..."

"What kind of joke do we have here? The one who has the joke is that old woman's family!" Mrs. Zheng was quick to talk and got to know people quickly. She and several women in Dafeng Village were able to talk together and took advantage of what she had just said. During the time, I actually found out some information.

Several women gathered together to listen to Mrs. Zheng's words, "In the past, Zhou Qiang was close to a widow from another village. Many people in Dafeng Village knew about it. Unfortunately, Zhou Qiang's parents looked down on that widow, and Zhou Qiang's daughter also We had troubles several times, but Zhou Qiang couldn't resist his parents and daughter, so he never looked for a wife again."

"Who are the people in this family?"

"No wonder she can't find a wife. The mother-in-law only picks girls aged sixteen or seventeen to look after. Who in the nearby village does she dare to offend? Isn't she just here because of us?"

······

After Luo Shi locked the door, several people walked towards the tofu shop and talked.

"Qiaoer's mother, don't be in a hurry to marry Qiaoer and Shuanghua. Open your eyes and take a good look. It's not too late to talk after you look carefully. Even if it's not good, we have many good boys in this village. Your Qiaoer They look just like Shuanghua, maybe one day they will be ready!"

When Luo heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "That can't be done, that can't be done, how can one village do it?"

"People in the same village are not from the same clan, so why not? Only when you know the root cause can you rest assured!"

Luo Shi still shook his head, "How can you harm other people's good children..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Luo Shi was pulled by Mrs. Zheng beside her. Luo Shi looked up at her blankly, but saw that she was winking at him.

Following everyone's gaze, her daughter Qiao'er was standing at the entrance of the alley looking at them. Luo Shi panicked and subconsciously wanted to explain, but saw Qiao'er raising a smile and said, "Mom, I heard there was a quarrel. Shuanghua is worried, so I came to see if everything is okay? If nothing happens, then I will go back and continue working. "

Luo Shi felt relieved and said quickly: "It's okay, it's okay, go back quickly!"

"Qiao'er, tell Shuanghua, those shameless people were scolded away by us!"

Li Qiaoer said "Oh", and the moment he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by endless sadness and panic, with tears shining in his eyes.

Just for a moment, she blinked her eyes and wiped away the tears in her eyes. She seemed to have regained her courage and walked towards the tofu shop.
