Chapter 280 Matchmaking
Old Ma and Old Gu died suddenly. Although the Gu brothers suspected that Old Ma had hidden the silver, the Gu family searched the whole house and only found the copper coins that Old Ma had left in the open.
Without money, the brothers of the Gu family started to arrange to divide the house and the few acres of land.
Gu Dahu had no son, only a silly daughter. He was not given any of the little things in the house. Even the shabby earthen house in the backyard was not intended to be let live in by the brothers.
In the end, Gu Dahu and his family of three were kicked out of the Gu family.
Old Ma and Old Gu died suddenly. Before the villagers had time to sigh, they heard that Gu Dahu and his family were driven out again.
Shen Rong heard from Liu Jinfeng that after the Lou family of three were driven out of the Gu family, they settled in a dilapidated house next to the bamboo forest in the west of the village.
Gu Dahu used to count on his nephews to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life, but this time he was driven out by his younger brothers. None of his 19 nephews said a word for him, and his heart was completely cold.
After Gu Dahu moved in with his wife and daughter in the dilapidated house, everyone thought that the family of three might starve to death in the dilapidated house at any time. In the end, the family settled down in the dilapidated house.
Gu Dahu was also completely different from before. He worked hard by himself to renovate the dilapidated house and made it look brand new.
After Shen Wu proposed to go to the county, Sixth Grandpa discussed it with Sixth Grandma that night, and finally decided that the whole family should live in the county town.
The decision to move was made, but moving is not something that can be done just like that. The first thing to do was to buy a yard in the county town.
Shen Rong went back to her parents' home, told her parents the news, and asked her brother and sister-in-law to help her find a house in the county.
Naturally, my brothers and sisters-in-law agreed readily.
Only then did Shen Rong have the opportunity to ask her mother about her younger brother's marriage.
When Mrs. Lu talked about her youngest son's marriage, she pulled Shen Rong into her room with a worried look on her face.
"Sanniang, if you hadn't given me the three hundred taels of silver last time, I wouldn't have had the confidence to visit that girl."
Shen Rong was delighted when she heard this, "Mom, has Dong Ting's marriage been decided?"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, there was no joy on her face. She frowned and sighed.
The story begins when Lu brought her grandchildren into the city.
Lu came to the county town in an ox cart with more than three hundred taels of silver in her arms.
After she arrived in the county town, the first thing she did was to inquire about the girl from the Chen family.
After this inquiry, Lu finally found out what kind of family the Chen family was.
Chen Rou was raised by her father. Her mother died after giving birth to Chen Rou.
His daughter-in-law died during childbirth, leaving behind a daughter. Chen Dali did not remarry like other men would. Instead, he raised his daughter, Chen Rou, by himself.
After his wife passed away, Chen Dali missed her too much and always drank to relieve his sorrow. He soon became addicted to alcohol and continued to drink for more than ten years.
At first, he thought his daughter was still young, so he controlled the amount he drank. Later, as his daughter grew older, he drank more and more, and even when he got drunk, he would beat his daughter.
Although Chen Rou had an alcoholic father, her family owned a shop, so when she reached the marriageable age, many matchmakers came to her house to propose marriage to her.
However, Chen Dali had already made it known that the Chen family only took in sons-in-law and did not marry off daughters.
Lu went to Chen's shop once on the pretext of buying something. The girl was a good one, efficient at work and had a good temper. Lu fell in love with the girl at first sight.
During the days she stayed in the county town, Shen Dongting often went to the next door. Lu thought it would be good for the two to get to know each other so that she would have the confidence to propose marriage in the future.
After Shen Dongting's visits several times, Chen Rou became familiar with Shen Dongting.
Shen Dongting is a cheerful young man with a handsome appearance and a tall and thin stature.
Chen Rou also slowly began to pay attention to Shen Dongting, a young man who was about her age.
Lu naturally discovered the situation of the two children, and she was overjoyed.
Just when Mrs. Lu was hesitating whether to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage, the matchmaker wearing a big red flower on her head came to Mrs. Lu first.
"Oh! Sister Lu, what a happy event! What a happy event!" The fat matchmaker smiled so hard that her teeth were showing as she entered the room.
Mrs. Lu was a little confused. She quickly welcomed the person into the yard and said, "Matchmaker Yang, where is the happy event?"
Lu happened to recognize this matchmaker Yang. When she first came to the county town, she asked all the matchmakers with good reputations in the county town for her son's marriage. This matchmaker Yang had a good reputation, and she had booked all the matchmakers in the nearby streets.
As matchmaker Yang entered the yard, she looked around and saw that the yard was very clean. She nodded with satisfaction.
Li Fenglian and Ma Xiuxiu were busy in the front, so when Yang the matchmaker came to the house, Lu had to entertain her personally.
After Matchmaker Yang sat down and drank some tea, she began to explain to Lu.
It turned out that it was not only the Lu family who saw through Shen Dongting's thoughts, but also Chen Rou's biological father, Chen Dali.
When Chen Dali doesn't drink, his mind is quite clear.
He saw the kid from Shen's shop next door running to his shop for no reason, so he became concerned.
Later, when Shen Dongting came to the shop again, Chen Dali quietly asked about Shen Dongting's situation.
How old is the entrance?
Where is home?
How many people are there in your family?
Which one of you is the oldest in your family?
How much land and rooms does your home have?
One of them wanted to find out, and the other wanted to show off, and soon, Chen Dali knew all the situations clearly.
When Chen Dali heard that the Shen family had three sons and Shen Dongting was the youngest, and that his hometown had a lot of fertile land, his mind became active.
It’s not uncommon for matchmakers to introduce live-in sons-in-law to their daughters.
Those men were either too poor to marry or just wanted to live off their wives. Chen Dali looked down on any of them.
But it was this silly boy in front of him that caught his eye.
Just after a few days of observation, Chen Dali invited a matchmaker to propose marriage.
When Mrs. Lu heard that the matchmaker was invited by the Chen family next door to propose marriage for their youngest son, she was immediately delighted.
Mrs. Lu really didn't expect that her youngest son's marriage would go so smoothly, but the matchmaker's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.
"What? Marry into the Chen family?" Lu didn't hear clearly what the matchmaker said in her ear. She only heard the four words "marry into the Chen family" and was stunned immediately.
"Oh! Sister Lu, you haven't heard this, that's what it means. They've taken a fancy to your son! They know you have two sons, and they want your son to marry into the Chen family and take over the shop in the future. This is a godsend..."
The matchmaker talked on and on, but Mrs. Lu didn't hear a word she said. Her mind was filled with images of her son being bullied after marrying into the family.
"No, my son doesn't want to marry into the family." Mrs. Lu shook her head and rejected Matchmaker Yang.
Matchmaker Yang tried to persuade him, "Hey, Sister Lu, why don't you ask your youngest son about this? Maybe the young man would be willing!"
To be a matchmaker, you don’t need to have any other special abilities, but you need to have a sharp eye and be well-informed; these two are the most basic.
But she heard that the youngest son of the Shen family had gone to the Chen family shop several times during these days when he came to the county town. He didn't look unhappy!
