Tian didn't dare to say it at first, but Meng Lan's friendly attitude gave her a lot of strength, and Tian had the courage to speak.

She said, "Mom, someone from the Yang family came today."

Someone from the Yang family? The Yang family that wanted to buy He Zhaodi as a child bride? Hearing what the eldest daughter-in-law Tian Fengying said, Meng Lan's heart was immediately alarmed and she frowned.

"Who is here? What's the matter?" Meng Lan asked.

"The one who came is Yang Dachuan's wife. She said she wanted to discuss Zhaodi's matter with you." Tian said as she glanced at her mother-in-law cautiously.

The good life these days made her forget about the Yang family. Although her mother-in-law had promised not to sell Zhaodi to the Yang family as a child bride, now that the Yang family came to her door, Tian still felt indescribable worry in her heart.

What should I do if my mother-in-law can’t stand the other party and agrees to let Zhaodi “marry” him?

"Where is she?" Meng Lan scanned the yard, but didn't see any member of the Yang family. She only saw Yang's closed door.

Only then did she remember that her third daughter-in-law was a little abnormal today. She had been trying to get close to her a few days ago, but now she had found a place to hide.

Does she know something about the Yang family?

After all, the Yang Dachuan's wife that Tian mentioned was the wife of Yang's cousin.

Yang Dachuan's wife was also a widow. A few months after she gave birth to her son Yang Wei, her husband Yang Dachuan slipped and fell to his death while hunting in the mountains.

From then on, not only did Yang Dachuan's wife treat the child as precious as the apple of her eye, but even Yang Dachuan's wife's parents-in-law, that is, Yang Dachuan's parents, treated the only blood left by their only son as their lifeblood.

It’s just that Yang Wei has been weak and sickly since childhood, and the whole family was very anxious. In the end, they listened to some fortune teller who said that all he needed to do was to marry him a wife to bring good luck.

So their family began to look for a suitable child bride.

Coincidentally, Yang Dachuan's wife ran into Yang who was returning to her parents' home, and the two chatted for a while.

When Yang heard Yang Dachuan's wife say that she was looking for a wife for her son and would pay ten taels of silver, she immediately became greedy for money and thought of her three nieces.

Don't even think about the third niece He Lianlian, as her mother Jiang is a fierce person who is not easy to deal with. Yang then started to set her sights on the two daughters of the first wife, as the eldest sister-in-law Tian is a soft persimmon anyway.

Moreover, the rules of marriage in farmers' families are generally to marry in order of seniority, with the elder one marrying first and the younger one marrying second. Yang then set her sights on her eldest niece, He Zhaodi.

In the matter of He Zhaodi and Yang Wei, Yang can be considered as a "matchmaker".

"Mom, Yang Dachuan's wife went back first when she saw that you were not at home. She said she would come again tomorrow morning." Tian frowned, for she was afraid that something unexpected would happen again.

"Then I won't go to town tomorrow morning. I'll wait for her at home and see what she has to do."

Meng Lan also frowned. The original body had left behind quite a mess.

It was she who listened to Yang's instigation and wanted to sell her granddaughter, and now she is also the one who does not want to sell her granddaughter.

Forget it, why think so much, everything will be solved when tomorrow comes.

"Mother..." Tian lowered her head and called Meng Lan softly, and then did not speak for a long time.

When Meng Lan saw her like this, she immediately guessed what she was thinking, she said.

"Fengying, I won't sell my granddaughter. If Dachuan's wife comes tomorrow, I will explain it to her."

Meng Lan's words were like a reassurance. After hearing them, Tian's originally restless heart was calmed, and there was a little more gratitude in her eyes when she looked at Meng Lan.

The next morning, Yang Dachuan's wife came just as Tian had said yesterday.

"Knock knock knock--" Someone knocked on the He family's door from outside.

He Zhaodi ran to open the door. The moment she saw the person coming, her face turned pale involuntarily and cold sweat broke out on her back.

Even though her mother, Tian, ​​had repeatedly warned her yesterday, her grandmother would not sell her.

But when she saw Yang Dachuan's wife again, He Zhaodi was still afraid.

"Hello, Aunt Okawa..."

After a while, He Zhaodi finally spoke up and greeted Yang Dachuan's wife.

The woman with high cheekbones looked up at He Zhaodi from head to toe without any hesitation. The look in her eyes, as if she was looking at an object, made He Zhaodi feel uncomfortable all over.

"Are you Zhaodi?" Yang Dachuan's wife asked in a shrill voice.

Without waiting for He Zhaodi to reply, Yang Dachuan's wife started to complain with a mean look on her face, very dissatisfied, as if she was picking vegetables at the street corner.

"You are too skinny and your butt is too small. You don't look like a good fertile woman. Can you give birth to a son for our Xiaowei in the future? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this is not worth ten taels of silver. I will have a good talk with your grandmother when I see her later."

"I'm here, Dachuan's wife, what do you want to tell me?"

While Yang Dachuan's wife was criticizing He Zhaodi, Meng Lan appeared out of nowhere. When Yang Dachuan's wife saw her, she was shocked.

"Oh, Aunt Meng, when did you come out? It was so sudden." Yang Dachuan's wife looked scared and patted her chest with her hand.

"Are you scared?" Meng Lan asked back.

"Yes, a little bit..." Yang Dachuan's wife was still patting her chest with her hand, looking frightened, which looked quite artificial.

"Oh." Leng Mo Meng Lan replied with one word.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence for a while. Yang Dachuan's wife couldn't help but move her toes hidden in her shoes, and the word "embarrassment" seemed to be hung on her harsh cheekbones.

Fortunately, she is a person who knows how to save face.

"Yesterday I wanted to come to you to discuss the affairs of our two families. You were not at home, so I asked Sister Chuanzong to tell you that I would come today. I went back and discussed it with my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They felt that ten taels was a bit too much. After all, buying a maid now only costs five or eight taels. Don't you agree?"

The purpose of Yang Dachuan's wife's visit today was to finalize the price for He Zhaodi with Meng Lan.

Why didn't Yang Dachuan's wife go to the pawnbroker and buy a girl? Instead, she went around asking people to buy a girl from a village family.

It's because she's worried that if she buys a girl whose background she doesn't know, and she runs away secretly, her money will be wasted.

People from the surrounding villages are all related to each other, and they are closely related to each other.

So after what Yang said, Yang Dachuan's wife went to the He family.

Yang Dachuan's wife wanted to buy someone to play with, but she was reluctant to spend a lot of money. So she came to bargain with Meng Lan today.

Meng Lan recalled that her original self had also encountered this kind of thing, but in the end her original self was more powerful and did not let Yang Dachuan's wife pay a penny.

Meng Lan is not the original body, so naturally she doesn't have her abilities.

But with her here today, Yang Dachuan's wife won't be able to spend a penny, because she will never sell her own granddaughter!

Thinking of this, Meng Lan's face was full of determination, which made Yang Dachuan's wife puzzled.

Yang Dachuan's wife did not forget why she came here today, and she continued to get to the point.

"Our two families know each other well. Aunt Meng, I only have one son, Xiaowei, and my parents-in-law only have one grandson, Xiaowei. From now on, everything in the house will belong to Xiaowei. If Zhaodi can marry my Xiaowei, she will enjoy endless blessings for the rest of her life."
