Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Chapter 193 Lu Dawei's Marriage Proposal

The next morning, Yue Niang came again to help pack up the gifts that Fan Chengyi brought yesterday.

Du Wenxiu called her again with two deeds.

"The farm in the countryside is too close to the Zhu family. I thought it would be better to sell it. If Qiao'er can't come, I can use the money to buy land near the Fan family, which will be good for her."

Yue Niang thought for a while before saying, "After all, it is permanent property. It would be a pity to sell it like this. Anyway, the workshop is making money now. If you want to help her, just take the money from the workshop."

"Don't I know what you mean? I just don't want to be neighbors with the Zhu family. In the hot summer, there is nowhere to go."

Yue Niang knew that Young Master Zhu had come to visit her, but she still felt it was a pity to sell it like this.

"If you are not suspicious, why don't you sell your farm to me? I will give it to my brother and his wife, and it will also provide them with a living."

"Well, that's good." Du Wenxiu said happily.

This farm and land are both good, and they were bought at a low price at that time. If I sell them now, I will make a small profit, but it won’t be much.

It's fertile land. It would be a pity to sell it at a low price, but it would be uncomfortable to keep it.

It would be a great idea to sell it to Yue Niang and give it to my brother and sister-in-law.

The two of them immediately calculated the market price and called Du Wenchan to help them go to the government to sign the contract, which put their mind at ease.

Du Wenxiu kept Du Wenchan and asked Qiuyun to call A Luo over to sit down.

"I'm sure you heard what he said yesterday. I think this is a good idea, but I don't know what Chan'er thinks."

Du Wenchan blushed and lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes around her fingers again and again.

A Luo looked at her expression and couldn't help asking, "What did General Lu say last night?"

Du Wenxiu then realized that Du Wenchan had not told A'luo about the matter. She was annoyed that she was thinking about things and did not even bother to consult her own mother.

He repeated to A'luo everything that Lu Dawei had said last night, and A'luo was very happy.

"Oh, it's very rare for a family like ours to find such a powerful general son-in-law."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Du Wenchan said, "What you said is true, Auntie. We are too high to reach her."

"Oh, kid, I'm just happy." A Luo said hurriedly.

But Du Wenchan's eyes were red: "I was born to an aunt and was sold to that filthy place. How can I be worthy of a son-in-law?"

As he spoke, tears began to fall from his eyes and A Luo shut up in disappointment.

Du Wenxiu knew that she had a knot in her heart, but he didn't know that she still remembered it.

"The past is the past. There is no point in always bringing it up. Let's just live well in the present and the future," Du Wenxiu advised.

"Sister, what you said, does it mean that once something has passed, it doesn't exist? If it's good for a while, then it's fine. But if it's not good for a while, and you bring it up, what should I do then?"

Du Wenchan choked up and cried, "If he was just an ordinary citizen, it would be fine, but now he is that useless general. How can he take me out for social events in the future?"

Du Wenxiu was about to say something, but Lu Dawei and his companion, who had arrived earlier and were waiting at the door, could not wait any longer and stepped in.

"Sister, what are you talking about? I, Lu Dawei, was a bandit in the past. I am a perfect match for you."

The words came before the person came in. Du Wenchan had no time to dodge and could only stand there stiffly.

Du Wenxiu was about to scold him, but when he heard him say such nonsense, he could not help but laugh or cry.

"Sister, if you are worried, you can ask your sister-in-law to be your witness today. No matter how bad I become, I will never treat you unfairly."

"Don't say that I don't want a son-in-law from a high-ranking official. You are the only one in my heart and eyes. Even if it's the maid given by the palace, I will give her to someone else."

"If you agree to marry me, Lu Dawei, we will live in peace and quiet for the rest of our lives, and there will be no other women in my family."

"If the girl really dislikes me, I, Lu Dawei, will spend my whole life alone in the military camp and will not stop until I die on the battlefield."

After he finished speaking, Du Wenchan was stunned for a moment.

At this time, A Luo was already extremely willing in his heart. It was rare for a man to treat his daughter like this, let alone a general, even if he was an ordinary citizen.

She thought she had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Du Wenxiu waited for a while, but Du Wenchan didn't respond. The atmosphere became awkward, so he stepped forward and pushed her.

Du Wenchan had already regained consciousness by this time, but she didn't know how to respond to Lu Dawei.

She had always believed that she was born to a concubine and had been sold, so being able to work as an accountant in Du Wenxiu's workshop was what she had wished for, and she had no more extravagant demands.

Whether it was the former Lu Dawei or Master Zhu, they were just passers-by.

Her biological mother was a concubine, so she couldn't say that concubines were bad, but she also felt that if the two of them were in love with each other, how could they allow a third party to settle down?

It’s hard to say these women all have it hard, so no one should make things difficult for anyone else.

So he rejected Young Master Zhu and lived peacefully with his sister.

Now that Lu Fanghai is gone, it would be better for her to stay with her sister, raise the children, and develop her business. That would be the right thing to do.

But today, a man shouted these words to her, which made her feel mixed emotions and she couldn't say a word.

Du Wenxiu pushed her gently again, while Lu Dawei looked towards the beam with a stubborn look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You, are what you said all your true feelings?" Du Wenchan asked.

Lu Dawei didn't even look at her, still looking at the beams, and replied, "Of course it's true. Why would I joke about such a big thing?"

Du Wenchan bit her lip lightly, glanced at Du Wenxiu, stepped forward to grab her hand, and whispered shyly: "Chan'er's affairs are all up to my sister."

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "If you really mean it, then I will agree to it, right?"

Du Wenchan whimpered, covered her face with her hands, and ran to the inner room, refusing to come out again.

Lu Dawei looked at Du Wenxiu with a bewildered look on his face. "Why did you run away again? Is this okay? Give me an answer."

Fan Chengyi was trying not to laugh and hurried to pull him. He looked left and right and saw that everyone had a smile on their face. After a while, he finally reacted.

Lu Dawei asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, can this be accomplished?"

Du Wenxiu looked at him with a smile and nodded, saying, "If you are interested, you can send a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow. Although we have to wait until the mourning period is over, we can still settle it first."

"Oh, that's great!" Lu Dawei jumped three feet high, rubbing his hands and laughing.

Fan Chengyi stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulders, and patted him on the shoulders twice: "Congratulations, brother."

"Hehe, I, Lu Dawei, am going to have a wife." He chuckled and suddenly remembered something.

"Sister-in-law, please arrange a car to take me back to my hometown. I also want to go to my parents' graves to tell them that I, Lu Dawei, am finally getting married."
