After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 482: Inquiry

The Qin family is a powerful family that has built up an industry and has excellent character. If his Lu family does not act quickly, such a good in-law will definitely be snatched away by Zhoujia Village!

"Propose a marriage?" Grandpa Qin was shocked. Before he could react, Patriarch Lu started talking on his own.

"You have two cousins. Coincidentally, I have two good girls of the right age. One is Lu Fengshou's younger sister. You still remember Lu Fengshou, right? He was the strong, dark-skinned man who helped measure the land when the Lu family sold it last year."

"Although he looks stout, he can actually write and do math. His younger sister is also literate. Although the family conditions are a little worse, the whole family is hardworking and very harmonious. Lu Liu is an excellent needlework girl. She has been following her sister-in-law in weaving, patchwork, and appliqué since she was ten years old. Both sister-in-law and sister-in-law can earn two hundred coins a month with this skill."

In the countryside, for a woman, earning 200 coins a month is considered a great achievement.

"The other one is my brother's youngest daughter. She can not only write and count, but also embroider. My daughter Jiuya learned embroidery specially. Now she can earn more than a hundred coins a month by embroidering and patchwork."

"Her mother is old, Jiuya still helps her mother keep the small accounts of the family, and occasionally helps me sort out the big accounts of the Lu family... I'm not bragging about my own daughter, my Jiuya's accounts are very accurate, and she has never made a mistake. When it comes to accounting, she is better than my Dawen."

“That’s right…” Patriarch Lu really wanted to marry into the Qin family, so he told the truth: “Jiuya is not our biological daughter, but my third brother’s daughter. When Jiuya was three years old, her mother died of a woman’s disease. When she was seven years old, my third brother was bitten by a poisonous snake while plowing the field and also died.”

"How could her two brothers raise a girl? After discussing it, we adopted Jiuya as our daughter and have raised her till now."

After saying this, Patriarch Lu was worried, fearing that Grandpa Qin would look down on his daughter Jiuya for having no parents and being unlucky.

He said hurriedly, "We old couple treat Jiuya as our own daughter. Ever since she was adopted by us, we have started preparing her dowry. She has all the gold, silver, and land as a dowry... When we prepared these, we told Dawen and his family. They had no objection and said that when our sister gets married, each of their families will give her more dowry."

Grandpa Qin was moved by Patriarch Lu's sincerity and said with a smile, "Thank you Patriarch Lu for thinking highly of the Qin family. When I go back, I will tell my sixth cousin and his wife that no matter whether it works out or not, I will give Patriarch Lu a reply within half a month."

"Don't worry, don't worry. Marriage is a big deal. It's normal to wait for a month or two." Patriarch Lu was very happy, but he was afraid that if he was too happy, the Qin family would think that girls from the Lu family were worthless, so he suppressed his joy.

However, he couldn't suppress it, not at all, hahahaha, this time, he finally got ahead of Zhoujia Village. When old man Zhou finds out, he will probably be mad to death, hahahaha!

"Clan leader Lu, are you okay?" Grandpa Qin interrupted him quickly because he was afraid that he would choke from laughing.

Chief Lu treated him as one of his own and was not afraid of being laughed at, so he told him the reason.

After hearing this, Grandpa Qin said: "...Brother Zhou never mentioned the matter of marriage."

It would be better if I didn’t mention it. If I didn’t mention it, it would be a good deal for my Lu family!

"Hey, what are you two doing hiding here?!" Huang Yanglong suddenly jumped out and looked at Chief Lu up and down: "Chief Lu, are you bullying Mr. Qin? Do you want to be the second Chief Wu?"

Chief Lu was furious: "Pah, pah, pah, who are you cursing? If I have even the slightest desire to become the evil Wu, let me be reborn as a pig in my next life!"

Huang Yanglong snorted: "We can't see what you will be like in your next life, so you can say whatever you want."

Patriarch Lu: “…”

Not to mention others, he wanted to sew Huang Yanglong's mouth shut!

Grandpa Qin hurriedly said: "Master Huang misunderstood, we were just chatting."

Huang Yanglong looked around with a look of disgust: "Chatting in the place where townspeople dump garbage, you old people have a very special hobby."

Patriarch Lu looked at Grandpa Qin apologetically: "..."

It's my fault. I didn't find a good place. I just rushed in here because it was remote.

Grandpa Qin shook his head and laughed, then asked Huang Yanglong, "Young Master Huang, do you have something to ask me?"

Huang Yanglong asked, "Do you want to go to the restaurant for a feast? The clerk Guan has ordered a top-notch meal to reward Doctor You and invited me to go."

Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "No, I won't go. When I was at the Silifang, I politely declined the invitation from the clerk Guan."

There were many things going on at home, and during the banquet, the clerk Guan was probably going to talk to Doctor You on behalf of the government, so he and Dalang decided not to join in the fun.

Seeing that he was not leaving, Huang Yanglong said no more and left quickly, as suddenly as he came.

Grandpa Qin and Patriarch Lu also said goodbye quickly and went home.

……

After arriving home, Grandpa Qin called Qin Laoliu and his wife.

It was dinner time, Qin Laoliu and Qin Liupo were so happy that they secretly vowed to eat a big meal at Fifth Brother's house tonight!

After the meal started, they swept away half of the food on the table in the blink of an eye like locusts passing through a land.

Qin Xiaomi sneered: "The meal money will be deducted from the dividends."

Qin Liupo said to her confidently: "It was your grandfather who invited my wife and I to have dinner. Go ask your grandfather for money!"

"..." Qin Xiaomi looked at Grandpa Qin: "Grandpa, why are you doing this?"

Did he suddenly remember something from his childhood? So he wanted to maintain a relationship with this cousin?

Grandpa Qin originally wanted to talk about it after dinner, but when asked, he simply said: "Patriarch Lu wants to marry into the family of my sixth cousin..."

He repeated what Patriarch Lu said.

Grandma Qin was delighted to hear this: "That's great. Ying and Jie are both old enough, they should have started a family long ago."

If they had not fled the famine, Shu Jie'er, Mei Jie'er, Ying Ge'er and Jie Ge'er would have been married long ago.

Qin Xiaomi also agreed: "The Lu family is a big family in this town. They are one of the four village chiefs, and they also have a clerk and a runner. Marrying into the Lu family will help us take root in this place. Most importantly, the Lu family has good character."

"Xiaomi is right. I also think the Lu family is great." Grandpa Qin nodded repeatedly and asked Qin Laoliu and his wife, "Sixth brother, sixth brother's wife, what do you think?"

Qin Laoliu still said the same thing: "I will listen to Fifth Brother. If Fifth Brother says yes, then we will get married."

His grandfather said that if you listen to your fifth cousin, your family will not have a bad life in this life.

His father also said, listen to your fifth cousin. If something goes wrong, you can still blame your fifth cousin and let him cover it for you.

Fortunately, these words were not spoken, otherwise Qin Laoliu would have been beaten up by Qin Xiaomi and Qin Ershu.

Qin Liupo began to speak in a pretentious tone: "It sounds good, but if you look closely, both of them have problems... Lu Fengshou's family is poor. If I marry his sister, I have to help Lu Fengshou's family. How much money will my family have to give?"

"Although Lu Jiuya was adopted, she is only the niece of Patriarch Lu. Although she has a dowry, her parents died when she was young. Maybe she is unlucky..."

"Sixth brother's wife!" Grandma Qin interrupted Grandma Qin and said angrily, "Sixth brother's wife, you are a girl, don't you know that saying this will ruin a girl's life?!"

Qin Xiaomi also said: "Sixth Aunt, if your family is willing, let's go and find out. If not, just refuse. Don't stare at the girl and find fault with her... My parents also died when I was young."

Qin Liupo's heart sank. Oh no! She had forgotten that Xiaomi's parents were also gone.

Then Qin Xiaomi sneered, "You still dislike Miss Lu? A wicked mother-in-law like Grandma Liu would make a girl run away overnight."

Qin Liupo was so angry that she said, "What's wrong with me? I have a mother-in-law like this. I don't know how good it is!"

Haha, several people present sneered.

Little Jiang Erlang suddenly raised his head and looked at her with horror, his eyes showing: "Sixth Aunt Qin, what nonsense are you talking about?"
