273 Giving Grapes
Even Little Ah Yu was curious. Big Brother was so powerful. Did he manage to find two sisters-in-law?
“Fourth Uncle! Where did these two girls come from? Don’t malign me.” Wang Dalang kept waving his hands and was so anxious that he was about to stomp his feet. “I didn’t!”
Just a single girl would be enough to vex him until his hair turned white. If there was another one, he might as well not get married.
Their family was just an ordinary family. Could it be that they have to learn from those Lords who had three wives and four concubines? That would be a joke!
“I haven’t finished speaking.” Wang Chuanman panted heavily. Before Old Madam Wang could roll her eyes at him, he said, “I mean, there were originally two girls. One of them was recommended by a matchmaker from Great River Village who came over to propose marriage. The other girl was someone Dalang met recently.”
As soon as he said this, everyone became even more confused.
After Wang Chuanman rested enough, he told them everything.
Actually, it was very simple. It was just that the Wang Family’s life was gradually improving, especially the matter of them now owning a house and shop. It had spread throughout the various villages.
There were basically no secrets in the village. The villagers of the Hu Family Village were very tight-lipped now. However, they could not hide the fact that the Wang Family had opened a shop in town from the other villages. After all, everyone would travel to the town from time to time.
The people from Big River Village had originally rented the Wang Family’s land. Now that they saw that the Wang Family could directly open a shop in town, they already treated them as landlords.
Compared to the previous Hu Family Village, Big River Village was relatively rich. Among them, there was a family with the surname Liang and they had raised a few daughters. Two of them were 15 years old. One of them came to the second branch, and the other came from the fourth branch.
Originally, the prospect was the girl from the second branch. Everyone said that she was a diligent and dutiful person.
However, when the matchmaker came, she changed her words and said that it was the fourth branch’s girl.
Even the girl who followed the matchmaker to the Hu Family Village was the girl from the fourth branch.
“It’s still fine if it’s just this, since we don’t care about the family background of the girl. It just depends on her character,” Wang Chuanman said. “But the strange thing is that Dalang wasn’t at home that day. He happened to go to Big River Village to supervise our land and he actually saved a child who fell into the river with the girl from the second branch.”
Country folks were not so particular. As long as a man and a woman were not alone in the same room, it was fine if the two of them went into the river to save people and did not behave intimately with each other when they went ashore.
At most, it would be a little awkward when others mentioned it in the future, but it would definitely not affect his reputation.
At first, the girl who saved him did not say that she was from the Liang family. Later on, she was exposed by others. Wang Dalang thought that she was the one who was supposed to become his wife.
He had a good impression of that girl, so when he returned, he even told Wang Chuanfu that he was willing to marry the Liang family’s girl.
In the end, the girl he wanted to marry was different from the one the matchmaker had brought.
This time, it was a little awkward. The most embarrassing thing was that both girls were willing to marry Wang Dalang.
This was the current situation.
“I couldn’t tell. Dalang, you’re quite talented.” Wang Chuanman patted Wang Dalang’s shoulder. “You’re the only one in our family that’s like this!”
Especially when he thought of how he had been delayed for several years back then and not a single girl was willing to marry him, Wang Chuanman felt a faint sense of jealousy.
His eldest nephew looked like he was keeping a low profile, but he did not expect him to be such an expert.
Old Madam Wang: “Speak less. No one will treat you as a mute! I asked you to investigate the matter, not to spout nonsense.”
“That’s right. Chuanman, tell me first, how are those two girls?” Old Wang frowned. “We can’t bring a troublemaker into the family. It’s not easy to build a family, but it’s too easy to destroy one.”
Only when the family was harmonious could everything prosper, especially Wang Dalang’s wife, who would be the lady of the eldest grandson. With their family’s current situation, they might really rise up in the future.
At the very least, they could be a local rich landlord. If Wang Dalang’s wife was too inferior, she would bring the entire Wang Family to ruin in the future.
“In my opinion…” Wang Chuanman analyzed the girls. The children were also discussing on their own.
According to Wang Chuanman, the girl from the fourth branch was a little scheming. She might have deliberately squeezed out the girl from the second branch family and ran to the Hu Family Village to fix the marriage first.
The girl from the second branch was not weak either. Regardless of whether she did it on purpose, she had met Dalang and left a good impression on him.
No matter how he looked at it, the girl from the second branch was better. At the very least, she was a smart person, right?
“Ah Yu, who do you want to be your Elder Sister-in-law?” Wang Erlang asked Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu didn’t even think. “The one who saved people with Big Brother.”
“Why?”
“The person who saved people must be a good person. I like good people.”
Everyone from the Wang Family thought for a moment. Ah Yu’s words made sense. As for being scheming, they were only two 15-year-old girls. It was normal for them to have some schemes and thoughts.
However, it was impossible to disguise a person’s kindness. At the very least, at the critical moment, one could tell a person’s character the best.
Old Madam Wang: “Dalang, what do you say?”
Wang Dalang’s tanned face was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip from it. He lowered his head and said shyly, “I’ll follow Grandma’s arrangements.”
“Then let’s pick the girl from the second branch. Find a date and bring her over to town, let us take a look at her first.”
The old man was right. It was not easy to maintain a family.
If there was really nothing to choose from, they would rather he marry an idiot.
Of course, if Dalang was not satisfied, they would search again.
Now that the Wang Family’s conditions were good, not to mention these matchmakers now, even those matchmakers who had a grudge against the Wang Family in the past would probably have to hurry over to form a good relationship with them.
This matter came to an end for the time being. They only needed to wait for the matchmaker to bring the girl to town in a few days.
Wang Chuanman was originally very affected by Little Ah Yu and Qin Huai’s verbal engagement. But after he was sent to Great River Village by Old Madam Wang. His mind was distracted and he fell asleep quickly at night.
The next morning, he had to rush to Shopkeeper Zhou’s side and forget about this matter.
After a few days, Wang Chuanman was halfway there when he said vexedly, “Aiya, I forgot to ask in detail! That kid Qin Huai! If he kidnaps my daughter, I’ll break his legs!”
“Achoo!” Far away in Wannian City, Qin Huai suddenly sneezed violently.
Chi Jia hurriedly went forward and asked, “Young Master, did you catch a cold? Do you want to wear more clothes?”
Qin Huai waved his hand. “I’m fine. There’s no need to trouble yourself.”
Speaking of which, in the past few months since Qin Huai returned to Wanning City from Nanhe Town, he had not fallen sick once.
Even if he was sick, it was just him deliberately pretending to be sick to confuse everyone in the mansion and avoid some unwanted social events.
As he practiced martial arts, his body became stronger and stronger. Even Chi Jia and the others were secretly shocked. The Young Master’s physique was very suitable for practicing martial arts. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a martial arts genius!
“These are grapes sent over from the residence today. Take a look and see how to pack them and send them to Nanhe Town.” Qin Huai flipped through the book and said casually, “Ah Yu must have never eaten them before. Let her try them.”
Chi Jia: “Yes.”
The grape was extremely fresh. It was said to be a gift from the Emperor. It would probably take more than a month to transport it from Wanning City to Nanhe Town.
At that time, it was unknown if it would be spoiled.
But it didn’t matter. Since he was going to give it to Miss Ah Yu, it was worth the trouble.
At most, he would stuff a few more jade grapes into it. If the grapes really became spoiled, there would still be the jade grapes to admire.
Coincidentally, Little Ah Yu was in the spatial pocket, drooling as she looked at the picture of a pile of grapes.
[Kid, it’s not a good deal to buy grapes directly. Let’s buy some grape seeds and plant them ourselves.]
