The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 388 Two Old Men

Wang Dalang was both amused and exasperated: "Mother, what are you thinking! I know my place perfectly well."

"Then what do you mean?" Madam Feng looked at Wang Dalang, trying to discern something else from the increasingly opinionated look in her son's eyes.

“Actually, if we really talk about it, the sons of officials are certainly not good enough for the daughters of officials, and the sons of merchants may not be good enough for the daughters of merchants either.” Before Madam Feng could speak, Wang Dalang continued, “But these two girls were told to you by your grandmother, right? Your grandmother has her reasons for doing things. We just need to follow her instructions and think along those lines.”

Wang Dalang didn't think too much about it. He was still a little puzzled when his grandmother thought that the two girls in the Liang family were not good. Who could guarantee that they were without flaws?
Although those two girls had flaws, they weren't perfect people themselves either.

There's nothing wrong with making one of them your daughter-in-law, is there?

Once you become husband and wife, you'll get along better and better, and naturally you'll become compatible.

After thinking about it again, he realized that it made sense.

First, there was Liang Yue, who was quite scheming, and he didn't really like her.

When Liang Xue went to their house later, she followed Xue Shenyi to learn medical principles, and Wang Dalang avoided talking about them as much as possible.

They gradually discovered that Liang Xue was not as innocent and straightforward as she seemed.

Because he had seen Liang Xue blush frequently when talking to the village boys, and her face turned even redder when she talked to him.

But her face isn't a monkey's bottom, so why is it always so red?
Anyone who didn't know better would think he hit her, which would seriously damage his reputation.

They're even more cunning!

Now that Grandma has mentioned two girls, it means that Grandma thinks both girls are good and suitable.

He'll just choose one based on his gut feeling.

The young lady from a merchant family, though registered as a merchant, must have come from a wealthy family, so she would spend money however she pleased.

They might not be used to living in the countryside, and their views are bound to clash.

Wang Dalang really liked Hujia Village and planned to stay there for the rest of his life. The official's daughter also liked the countryside. Wasn't it a perfect match?

Wang Dalang briefly told Feng about his thoughts. After thinking about it, Feng smiled and said, "In that case, I was overthinking it. Since you've made up your mind, I'll go and tell your grandmother later that we'll head to the county town after breakfast."

"it is good."

During breakfast, everyone chatted about this and that, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

It wasn't until Wang Dalang went to the backyard to bring out the donkey cart that the children in the family busied themselves around it.

"Brother, are you going back to the village already? Didn't you say you'd stay for a few more days?" Wang Wulang was a little reluctant to see him go.

My eldest brother is very diligent. He wakes up very early every day, and you can always see him busy in the huge courtyard.

The large flowerbed and vegetable garden in the yard have been tidied up by my eldest brother lately, and they look quite nice and pleasing to the eye.

With their older brother around, they had far less work to do.

He was a little reluctant to see his older brother leave.

Wang Dalang: "I'm going to the county town, not to go back."

"What are you going to the county town for, brother? We don't have any relatives there." Wang Qilang thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Are you going to see Lord Zhang? Come to think of it, Lord Zhang is practically a relative of ours, isn't he?"

Their family came here as refugees from famine, and their only relatives now are their in-laws.

"I know, I know, big brother must be going to see his new sister-in-law!" Little Ayu said with a smile, her head peeking over her brothers' waists. "I saw big brother carrying fruit into the car!"

The "fruit" that Xiao Ayu was referring to wasn't the fruit she usually grew; it was a collective term for a type of pastry, typically used to entertain guests or for visiting others.

Little Ayu: "It's a wish-fulfilling fruit!"

The Ruyi Fruit is usually used when looking at someone. If the other person likes it, they can take the fruit away; if they don't, they can leave it where it is.

This immediately excited the young men in the Wang family.

"Brother, you're going on another blind date? This one's sure to work out, right? And it's even so far from the county town—"

Wang Wulang's eyes widened, his excitement suddenly turning to horror: "I've heard that everyone in the county town is either rich or powerful, and our family is far from good enough. Brother, are you going to marry your sister-in-law or become her son-in-law?!"

"What?! Big brother's going to marry into the family?!"

"No way! What will happen to us if our eldest brother marries into his family? Grandma said we should all follow his example. Does that mean we should also marry into his family?"

“My brother married so far away, it takes so long to travel by donkey cart. It will be so troublesome to visit relatives in the future. Will we never see him again?” Little Ayu looked at this brother and then at that brother.

I don't quite understand what they're talking about.

Wang Dalang's face turned as black as charcoal: "Shut up! Don't you have to go to school? Hurry up and go, or I'll report you to the school for spouting nonsense. Don't lead Ayu astray!"

Little Ayu, hands on her hips, exclaimed, "I'm all grown up now, I can't be corrupted by you!"

At this moment, Madam Feng also came out with Old Madam Wang. Because she was going to see the daughter of an official, Madam Feng was nervous. She invited Old Madam Wang to keep things in order, fearing that she might embarrass herself.

As soon as Old Mrs. Wang came out, the boys scattered like birds and beasts without even being told.

Grandma Wang frowned, "They've been in school for so long, and their manners are still so bad! How's the village school coming along? We might as well send them all to the village!"

Wang Chuanfu, who was standing nearby, said, "The school has been built and is even bigger than originally planned. There are more than 100 children from various villages, plus a few children from our in-laws' families, who have said they want to come. It's just that we haven't invited enough teachers yet."

"No rush. Lord Zhang also said he would help with the teacher's matter." After saying this, Old Madam Wang got onto the donkey cart with Wang Dalang's help.

Zhang Zhan, who had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the county government office to handle case files, suddenly sneezed violently again.

The servant quickly unfolded his cloak: "Sir, it's chilly this morning, please don't catch a cold."

Zhang Zhan shook his head: "It's not from the cold, I guess someone is talking about me again."

Anyway, it's bound to be bad news.

At this time, Madam Qin, who was on her way back, stayed at a post station.

I overheard a few minor officials whispering that two retired officials who had come from the Imperial Academy had arrived at the post station.

Madam Qin initially didn't want to pay attention, but then she suddenly remembered that when she was in the Yongding County government office, she vaguely heard Zhang Zhan searching for a teacher.

They said they were looking for someone for Hujia Village.

Zhang Zhan is not a helpful person; he might just be part of an arrangement by the Wang family of Nanhe Town.

They were originally from Hujia Village, and even after moving to the town, they continued to help the village.

They are a family that doesn't forget their roots.

Madam Qin already possessed this intelligence.

"Hua Hong, go and invite those two old gentlemen up for a chat," Madam Qin said.

Hua Hong agreed and went downstairs to fetch someone.

However, it was inconvenient to reveal Madam Qin's identity when they were out in public, and the two old men simply did not believe it.

Finally, the two elderly men were carried up to see Madam Qin by the scruff of their necks.

The two old men were cursing and swearing the whole way.

"How dare you! Do you know who we are?!"

"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare they commit such a heinous act!"

"Although I am no longer an official in the court, I will not tolerate such insults from you!"

"This post station is probably in cahoots with you, ignoring our pleas for help!"

"Oh, Heavenly Family, look at this—"

Before they could finish shouting, Green Willow was already standing in front, bowing to the two elders.

"My lords, my lady invites you in."

When the two old men looked up indignantly, they saw Madam Qin lifting the veil from her face.

"Mother...mother..."

Madam Qin frowned: "I don't have a son that big."

The two elderly men: "..."
