A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best

His father had been urging him to get married for a long time, but the girls in the county town were all too delicate. They would cry if touched and would get annoyed if seen. He didn't want to marry that kind of girl. When he thought of the fearless look in Li Xiaoxiao's eyes when she looked at him, he knew that this was the woman he wanted to marry.

"I've fallen in love with your cousin. Go back and tell her parents. In a few days, oh no, tomorrow I'll ask the matchmaker to bring the betrothal gifts to propose marriage." Zhang Wenbin looked determined and confident. There was no woman in Jiunu County who didn't want to marry him.

"Master Zhang, my cousin is so blessed that you like her." Li Chengcai looked very grateful, but his face soon fell, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's the matter?"

"Master Zhang, you don't know that my second uncle has separated from the family and lives separately. He doesn't listen to my grandparents. My cousin is also a person with her own ideas. I'm afraid this marriage won't go smoothly." Li Chengcai hesitated for a long time before speaking, his face full of embarrassment.

"Oh." Zhang Wenbin was a little unhappy when he heard this: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"I can ask my father to plead for him. My second uncle has had a good relationship with my father since he was young, and he listens to my father the most." Li Chengcai went around in circles before vaguely mentioning his father.

Zhang Wenbin glanced at him with a sneer on his face. Li Chengcai was so scared that he quickly lowered his head. After a long while, he finally heard him speak: "Your father is a scholar, right? If he can help me get married, I will help him in this imperial examination."

He usually looks quite honest, but I didn't expect that he would be set up a trap today. Well, the woman he likes is his cousin, so he will give his cousin some face. If it were any other time, I would definitely slap him twice in the face to make him wake up.

"Thank you, Young Master Zhang. I will definitely ask my father to persuade Ershao to agree to this marriage." Li Chengcai was ecstatic. With Zhang Wenbin's help, his father would definitely be able to pass the exam this year. After so many years of waiting, there was finally hope.

The two discussed the betrothal gifts and various other matters in detail. Li Chengcai felt dizzy when he walked away. He had never felt that he was so superior to others and that they were so close to him.

It was already evening when we returned to Qinghe Village.

The Li family had already prepared the meal. When Mrs. Li saw her precious grandson coming back, she hurried over to ask if his arm was okay. Li Chengcai waved his hand and said it was fine. She said excitedly, "Grandma, when we eat later, I want to tell you a great piece of news."

"What's the matter? Look how happy you are." Old Mrs. Li hugged Li Chengcai and walked towards the main house. Liu came out of the house when she heard the sound. She was relieved to see that Li Chengcai's arm was fine.

In the main room, Old Man Li was smoking a pipe with a worried look on his face. Today he went to see the head of the village. Li Dajiang was going to take the imperial examination, and the family could not afford the money he needed. The only way now was to sell the land. The corn planted in the field was now more than a person tall and was about to be harvested. If he sold it, he would be giving it away to the buyer for free. It was not a wise move to sell the land at this juncture, but there was no other way.

When the head of the village learned that he wanted to sell the land, he was a little surprised and said embarrassedly that several families wanted to sell their land, but no one wanted to buy it. Every family lived a tight life and it was good enough to have enough food to eat. Where would they get the spare money to buy land?

Old man Li came back sighing, without saying a word, just smoking there.

"Old man, stop smoking. Chengcai is back and said there is great news." Although Grandma Li didn't know what it was, she felt happy when she saw her eldest grandson's expression.

After taking a long puff, Old Man Li put down his pipe, hunched over, and looked at Li Chengcai with cloudy eyes: "What great joy is this?"

"Master, you know the magistrate of our Jiunu County, right?" Li Chengcai stepped forward and took the old man Li's arm.

"I know. What's the matter?" Old man Li couldn't help but think of a few years ago when he went to the county town to sell something. He saw the county magistrate from afar. He was wearing a navy blue official uniform and a black gauze hat. He was sitting in a sedan chair carried by eight people and walking through the street. He looked majestic and imposing. The onlookers all greeted him respectfully. From that day on, they became more determined to let Li Dajiang study and become a superior person.

"Today, the county magistrate's only son, Zhang Wenbin, met Li Xiaoxiao and said he wanted to marry her. He offered a betrothal gift of 100 taels, and he would also help my father with his imperial examination."

When it came to the beginning, Old Man Li didn't care. He didn't care about Li Xiaoxiao's marriage, she was just a little girl. But when it came to the end, he became more and more excited, and when he heard the last sentence, his eyes lit up.

"Are you telling the truth?" The frustration he felt when he left the headman's house was swept away. Things had come to this point, but there was such a big turn for the better.

"Master, of course it's true. Master Zhang told me personally. Do you think this is a great joyful event?" Just as Li Chengcai finished speaking, Li Dajiang walked in from outside with a happy look on his face. It was obvious that he had heard it too.

"Chengcai, tell me in detail what happened today." The family had discussed selling the land. Li Dajiang didn't really want to sell it, if for no other reason than that, if the family had less land, it would mean less grain output in the future, and his monthly expenses would then be reduced, which he absolutely didn't want.

Liu, Jiang and Li Laosi all came over when they heard the noise in the main room. Li Chengcai told them the whole story, of course hiding the fact that he had gone to the brothel.

Su was still cooking. When Daya went out to fetch firewood, she happened to hear what Li Chengcai was saying. Out of curiosity, she lay in the corner and listened for a while. The more she listened, the wider her mouth opened. Finally, fearing that she would be discovered, she secretly returned to the kitchen, ate dinner nervously, and returned to their room, where she told him what she had heard in the evening.

Su was extremely anxious after hearing this, but it was too late. Li Xiaoxiao's family lived halfway up the mountain, and it was inconvenient for her as a woman to go out. She could only wait until dawn to tell Xiaoxiao the news.

After explaining what happened, Li Laosi couldn't help but be the first to stand up and said, "Our ancestral graves are filled with smoke. This good thing has been given to our family. If Xiaoxiao marries him, we will be the county magistrate's in-laws. Everyone will look up to us when we go out. With such a good in-law, my brother's career will definitely have a bright future. We can expect a good life in the near future."
