Daming female local tyrant

"My mother will live a long life, let alone die, let's pick someone for Alan together." Xie said hurriedly.

Gao smiled: "Yes, I have to live to be a hundred years old and have a great-grandson in my arms before I can meet that prodigal old man."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking and laughing when they saw that the gate of the fenced yard was opened by Ah Shan, and Ah Shan stood at the door and shouted at Xie Shi: "Mother, Aunt Chai from the wall is here."

"Ah Hu Niang is here, hurry up, come and sit down and talk." Mrs. Xie hurriedly got up to greet people.

Chai walked over with a smile, took a look inside the room before sitting down, and then said that she had heard her son Ahu say that Jinglan was back, and that Ahu also said that Jinglan came back today to see her family and that she would leave tomorrow. Follow the master to Jinling City.As for her, since Jinglan entered Shen's other courtyard as a maid these two days, she discussed with her husband, in order to repay Jinglan for helping Ahu and Geng's family this time, they are willing to let Ahu and Jing Lan is engaged, and Ahu will marry Jinglan when she returns to her hometown after eight years.

Gao Shi and Xie Shi were shocked when they heard the words, they looked at each other, then looked at Chai Shi and asked: "Are you really willing to let Ah Hu and Ah Lan get engaged?"

Chai nodded: "I really want to, isn't Alan about to go to the city? We just want you to be willing too, so we can tell her this, so that she can feel confident. After entering the city, she doesn't have to worry about coming back in eight years. The marriage is not settled."

Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Xie were of course happy when they heard this. The only thing they were worried about before was that Jing Lan would go to the city to be a maid. After eight years, she would be free again, and she would be 21 years old at that time.

21 years old is considered a very old woman, and it is almost impossible to find a man of the same age as a husband, because most men are already married at the age of sixteen or seventeen.Even if they can be found, the conditions are not very good, or they are poor or ugly, or they are widowers whose wives died.

Ah Hu is the same age as Jing Lan, and the Geng family and the Lin family are neighbors who know each other well. If Jing Lan can get engaged to Ah Hu, it can be regarded as a good marriage.In that way, when Jing Lan is 21 years old and free, she can marry Ah Hu when she returns home, which is really great.

Mrs. Gao agreed to Mrs. Chai first, saying that this marriage can be settled, and the two families can follow the engagement procedure. This year, they will pick a good day to make the marriage between Jing Lan and Ahu.As for them, they can also quietly tell Jing Lan about this, so that she can leave home and go to the city to work as a servant girl with peace of mind.

Mrs. Chai smiled and said that it was settled like this. As for her, she will go home and pack some dried sweet potatoes and walnut kernels for Mrs. Xie, and ask her to bring these snacks to Jinglan to eat on the road.

Xie quickly said no.

Chai said with a smile: "Alan will be my daughter-in-law in the future, and I, a mother-in-law, should pack some food for her. If you don't accept it, you will be alienated."

"Then...then I, as a mother, will thank Alan." Mrs. Xie said happily.

She sent Mrs. Chai out of the fence gate, and when she came back she laughed from ear to ear with Mrs. Gao, even saying that she did not expect Jinglan to have such good luck.

Gao's broad beans didn't peel anymore, he went into the house and took out an old almanac, sat under the plane tree with Xie and looked through the old almanac to see which day would be a good day during the slack season after harvesting rice in the second half of the year. In order to have an engagement wine with the Geng family, to settle the marriage of the two children.

Lin Gensheng came back from a stroll around his mulberry field, and saw his mother and his wife sitting under the plane tree in the yard looking through the old almanac, so he went over and curiously asked them what they were doing for the almanac.

Gao could not restrain her excitement and said that there was a happy event in the family this year, and she and her daughter-in-law were picking a date.

Before Lin Gensheng could ask, Mrs. Xie had already told him what Mrs. Chai from next door had just said.

Unlike Gao and Xie who were happy to hear Chai's words, Lin Gensheng said that he didn't think it would be good for Jing Lan to be married to Ah Hu next door.

Gao asked, "How did you say that?"

Lin Gensheng: "When Alan enters the city, he may be favored by some master or young master and become a roommate. Afterwards, he will have a son and a half daughter. When the life contract expires, he will be a serious master. That's no better than going back to Qingxi Village to talk to Jianbi Is that Ah Hu strong enough to marry?"

Gao was not happy when he heard this, and asked him if he couldn't make it, then the marriage with Ah Hu would also be in vain. Can Jing Lan find her in-law's when she comes back at 21?

Lin Gensheng fell silent.

Gao said angrily: "Unless I die, I don't want to see Alan go to be a slave to others. She has sold herself as a slave for Ashan for eight years. I don't want her to be a decent woman in the future. Anyway, We have to make a good marriage for her, otherwise we will be too sorry for her!"

Mrs. Xie thought the same way, but she didn't dare to confront her husband face to face, so she went to whisper to persuade Lin Gensheng not to make her mother-in-law angry.

Seeing that his mother was angry, Lin Gensheng couldn't insist on his own opinion any longer, so he had to say that he always obeyed his mother.

Only then did Gao give up, and read the old almanac with Xie again.

Lin Gensheng had nothing to do, and just now he made his mother angry, so it was not easy to sit in front of them, and went back to the house to lie down and sleep with his head covered.

Jing Lan had a good night's sleep. When she woke up, she saw the setting sun outside the window glowing orange, and the clouds in the distance were golden and colorful. It seemed that the weather in the next few days would be fine.

She turned over and sat up, glanced at the small wooden bed below her with nostalgia, then got out of bed, put on her embroidered shoes, and walked outside.

Under the plane tree in the yard, her grandmother, her mother, and Mrs. Chai from the Geng family next door were sitting, chatting and laughing in low voices.Her younger brothers Ashan and Aguo, and Aling from Geng's family next door were chasing a little yellow dog at home to play, and Aguo let out bursts of suppressed crisp laughter from time to time.

Ah Guo first spotted Jing Lan standing at the door, smiled and called out to sister, then dropped the little yellow dog, ran over to lead her and said, "Come on, sister, you can go play with me."

"Aguo, go play by yourself and let your elder sister sit for a while." Seeing that Jing Lan woke up, Xie came over and pulled Jing Lan to sit under the plane tree.

As soon as Jing Lan sat down, Chai looked at her with a smile, pointed to a bamboo basket on the ground and said that there were some walnut kernels and dried sweet potatoes in the basket, and asked Jing Lan to take it and eat it on the way to Jinling City.

"No need, Aunt Chai, take this thing back." Jing Lan said politely.

Chai: "These are the wishes of our family, you must accept them, even though they are not worth much."

As soon as she said that, Jing Lan had to accept it if she didn't accept it, so she also said words of thanks.

Chai talked and laughed with Jing Lan for a while, said some auspicious words such as a smooth journey, and took her daughter A Ling home.

After Mrs. Chai left, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Xie took out the fried peanuts and roasted crispy rice they had prepared for Jing Lan, and asked Jing Lan to eat them on the road.

Jing Lan originally wanted to say that she would not be hungry if she followed Shen Wan, but she thought that these were also the wishes of her grandmother and mother, and it was a thought to eat them as snacks, so she accepted them.

Seeing that the sunset has set a little further, it's time to leave.

Mrs. Xie went to wake up her husband Lin Gensheng, and the family sent Jing Lan to Shen's other courtyard.

The road from the Lin family to the Shen family's other courtyard was not long, but the Lin family had walked for a long time. Gao Shi and Xie Shi took Jing Lan's hand one by one and told her to pay attention to this and that.Ah Shan was holding the basket of snacks prepared by the Geng family and the Lin family for his sister in one hand, and his younger sister A Guo in the other.Lin Gensheng walked at the back, looking relaxed.

When she arrived at the back door of Shen's other courtyard, Jing Lan took the basket that Ah Shan handed her, and told her grandmother and others to go back, don't worry about herself, she will be fine.

Gao Shi and the others had red eyes, grabbed Jing Lan's hand, reluctant to let her go, A Shan and A Guo also ran up to hold her by the skirt, mouths pursed to cry.

In the end, it was Ling Gensheng who asked them to let them go, otherwise Jing Lan would miss the meal in a while, would not be able to eat dinner, and would starve.

When he said this, Gao and the others really let go, and told Jing Lan to go to the Shen family's other courtyard.

Just when Jing Lan went to pat the backyard gate to let the gatekeeper open the door, Mrs. Xie suddenly ran up and pulled Jing Lan back two steps, whispering happily in her ear: "Alan, mother forgot I told you, your lifelong event has been settled."

"What?" Jing Lan almost suspected that she had heard something wrong, or that there was something wrong with her ears.

Xie smiled again, and told Jing Lan in a low voice: "You also saw Aunt Chai coming from the wall in the next afternoon. She is here to tell us that the Geng family is willing to let Ahu be engaged to you. When you are 21 years old Go home and let you get married..."

Jing Lan didn't wait for Mrs. Xie to finish speaking, she waved her hands again and again to say that she disagreed and that she didn't want to be engaged to Ah Hu.

Xie originally thought that she would be extremely shy when she told Jing Lan about her engagement, but she didn't expect Jing Lan to react like this.

Surprised, she hurriedly said: "Alan, Ahu is a perfect match for you. Our Lin family and the Geng family also know each other well. You know that when you return home at the age of 21, it will be hard to find such a good wife."

Jing Lan raised her forehead, she really wanted to say that I'm only 13 years old, it's too early to think about getting married.What's more, in her opinion, Ah Hu is just a kid who hasn't wiped his nose clean. She really can't imagine letting him be her future husband.

At this time, the door of the Shen family's backyard was opened by the servant inside, who was calling for Jing Lan not to dawdle and go in quickly.

Jing Lan then hurried forward with the basket in her hand, saying a word as she walked: "Aniang, let me say it again, I don't want to, so don't bother me, that's it, I'm in, you all go back !"

The author has something to say:

Thank you for your support, MUA!

In addition, answer the questions raised by Youqin below the text here.

The first is that I feel that the previous chapter is trivial, so why write it.I want to write because there is a foreshadowing.

Second, why didn't Jing Lan's adoptive parents give her a jade pendant and tell her her life experience?In fact, just look at the current adoptive parents who will take the initiative to tell the life experience of the adopted son or daughter.Parents are afraid of losing their children.
