Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Dad, let's plant corn this year," Xiao Lan said.

Zhang took out the cotton cloth she had bought one by one, and the mothers gathered together to discuss the quality and price of the cotton cloth.

"This is the sauce-flavored donkey meat from Hejian County." Xiao Lan opened a package and took out the food. The weather was cold now, and the donkey meat had been hanging on the carriage, so it didn't go bad.

Xiao Lan bought this on the day they came back, just wanting the whole family to taste the specialties of Hejian County.

"Is Dad and Mom both doing well? And how is Chunhua's marriage going?" Sheng Xuan asked because he was worried about them.

Hearing Sheng Xuan's question, Xiao Lan and Xiao Wen quickly pretended to be busy and avoided the topic. But Zhang couldn't avoid it, but she didn't know how to answer.

"What's going on? What happened?" Sheng Xuan immediately became nervous when he saw the attitudes of his mother and her two daughters.

Xin, Xiaoting and Xiaoyan also looked at Zhang. They also wanted to know what had happened in Hejian County.

"The child's grandfather and grandmother are in good health. The whole family lives well in Hejian County. The family Chunhua marries into is also good." Zhang replied.

After all, they have been married for so many years, and he knows Zhang's temper best. If there is nothing really wrong, Zhang will never be so hesitant.

"What else is there?" Sheng Xuan asked.

"It's just that he's a little older..." Zhang said.

"How much older than Chunhua?" Sheng Xuan asked. Lanhua was older than her when she got married. In the words of Grandpa Sheng, older people are more caring, and being older is really nothing in the Sheng family.

Sheng Xuan looked at Zhang's face and guessed that the new son-in-law might be a little old. "Twenty-seven or twenty-eight?" Sheng Xuan asked.

Chunhua is nineteen years old this year. If we guess more, the other party is only ten years older than her. Sheng Xuan thought so. It is almost impossible for a man of such an old age from an official family to have never been married. "Is he a second marriage? Has he been married before?"

After Sheng Xuan made this guess, Zhang became even more reluctant to speak.

Seeing that Zhang didn't say anything, Sheng Xuan guessed that things were probably not going well.

"Mom, look how anxious my dad is. Just tell him quickly. Anyway, everyone in the room is our own family." Xiao Lan said.

"Chunhua's brother-in-law is already in his sixties," Zhang said.

"What?" Sheng Xuan jumped up, unable to believe what he had just heard.

Others were in a state of stunned trance.

"Sixty years old, isn't that sixty years old? To put it bluntly, he is already half buried in the ground, how many years can he live? Why let Chunhua marry him? What will Chunhua do in the future? Isn't this ruining her life?"

If the other party was 40 or even 50 years old, Chunhua would still have some hope for the future, but the other party was 60 years old, older than Grandpa Sheng. Sheng Nuo was selling his own sister to curry favor with the Zheng family. This was pushing Chunhua to a dead end.

Sheng Xuan walked back and forth several times, repeatedly saying it was impossible, "The old man and the old lady love Chunhua the most, how could they find a family like this for her?"

"Go ask your good brother!" Zhang said unhappily.

"Ah..." Sheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, then sat down on the stool.

"Xiao Lan, what's going on?" Xiao Ting and Xiao Yan came up to Xiao Lan and asked in a low voice.

"What is going on? Even if eldest brother has such an idea, the old man and the old lady will definitely not agree to it..." Sheng Xuan asked.

Next, Zhang, Xiaolan and Xiaowen began to talk one after another about what happened in Hejian County.

After finishing this story, the room suddenly fell silent.

"It was the eldest brother who sold Chunhua. He..." Sheng Xuan angrily slammed the table, "The second brother also helped a lot in this. He wanted to sell our Xiaolan before, but our Xiaolan was lucky enough to escape the disaster. Now he is selling Chunhua again, and this time he succeeded in selling it."

"The old lady is blind and knows nothing, but how come the old man was fooled by her?" Sheng Xuan said, "It seems that the old man trusted him too much and suffered a loss from him."

Old Master Sheng always said that his eldest son had no bad intentions, and he was so convinced that he had no bad intentions. However, it was this eldest son, whom he believed in so much, who played him around.

"Did the child's aunt know about this in advance? But she didn't tell the old man and the old lady?"

"We can't talk nonsense about this matter. After all, she wasn't caught in the act. But my aunt arrived earlier than us. My grandma told her everything. My aunt has been on good terms with my uncle's family for a long time. We realized something was wrong just half a day after we arrived. My aunt is much smarter than us." Xiao Lan said.

Xiao Lan was skeptical about the fact that Sheng Lanhua didn't know in advance that Chunhua was marrying an old man. But there was one thing Xiao Lan was sure of, that is, Lanhua must have discovered something wrong.

"...I wanted to bring the children back immediately. I was really scared. I didn't sleep well that night..." Zhang whispered to Xin.

At this time, the fourth sister Liu also came. After hearing what Zhang said, she was also stunned.

"Aunt, you didn't go. From now on, no matter what happens there, I will never go there, and I won't let the children go either."

"Has anything happened at home during the days we were away?" Xiao Lan took the time to ask Xiao Ting.

"It's nothing. Lord He came to look for you, but when he saw you were not at home, he left." Xiaoting said.

In the evening, everyone had dinner early and went to bed early. Early the next morning, Sheng Xuan delivered the sealed silver to the old Lu family. Yesterday, he was so happy that his mother and the other two got home safely that he forgot to pay for the fare. At first, the Lu family father and son refused to accept it, but it was the shopkeeper Bao who persuaded them, saying that business is business and friendship is friendship, and they cannot be mixed up. Then the Lu family father and son reluctantly accepted it.
