After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch
Chapter 106 Settlement
Not long after the meal, Mrs. Zhong said she wanted to leave, and Mrs. Qiao Chen prepared a basket of vegetables for her to take back, "They are not worth much." Of course, Aunt Jin also had some. In addition to this, she also had money. She gave ten cents to each person, and of course Aunt Jin also had some as a matchmaker.
After everyone left, Qiao Chen immediately asked Qiao San, "What do you think?"
Qiao San was very embarrassed, "It's, it's OK."
Mrs. Qiao Chen: "If you think it's okay, then it's okay, but it depends on whether others think it's okay. Wait for news from Aunt Jin."
On the other side, Aunt Jin took Mother Zhong and Zhong Manzhu away from the Qiao family, and asked them on the way: "What do you think?"
Mother Zhong looked at Zhong Manzhu, "Manzhu, what do you think? How was your conversation before?"
Zhong Manzhu was very shy, "Very, very good."
Mother Zhong nodded and said, "I think it's okay, but I have to go back and talk to the head of the family."
Aunt Jin: "It's okay, just come to me if you have any questions." She felt that the two families would definitely be able to make it, but it wouldn't be a problem if she just gave it some more thought.
"Okay, thank you for your help today."
"fine."
After returning home, Mrs. Zhong told Father Zhong about their visit to the Qiao family today. "I was in the living room the whole time, but Manzhu was talking with Qiao Lao San in the yard. They even went to the back of the house. Manzhu said that the Qiao family raised several pigs, chickens and ducks, and their house looked really good."
Father Zhong: "What about Zhen?"
Mother Zhong: "When we first arrived, Zhen was not in the living room. She came after I asked her about it. She didn't look like a shrew and was polite to me. Didn't she give birth to a child? The child is plump and white."
"By the way, the Qiao family has three little girls, two of whom are the daughters of their sister-in-law. His sister-in-law passed away, and she didn't want to raise the baby because she gave birth to a girl, so she threw the child to the Qiao family. One is Qian's, and that's Qiao Er's."
"I saw these three little girls. They were all very clean. I heard that Qiao San would occasionally teach them to read."
"Really?" Mr. Zhong was surprised.
Zhong's mother: "I was also quite shocked at the time. Later, Sister Chen called the three little girls over and asked them what words they had learned recently. The three little girls were able to write them on the table with water."
Father Zhong nodded, "Then the Qiao family is indeed good." What are the most feared things when marrying off a daughter? The most feared thing is that the daughter will be bullied by the in-laws, and the most feared thing is that the daughter will be tortured for giving birth to a daughter. Such things are not uncommon in the village.
"Manzhu, what do you think?" Father Zhong looked at Zhong Manzhu.
Zhong Manzhu lowered her head shyly, "Dad, their food is delicious."
Father Zhong: ...
Mother Zhong slapped her head and said, "Oh, that's right. I don't know how the Qiao family grows their vegetables, but they are really delicious. They even gave me a basket of them. I will cook them for you tonight to try."
"The Qiao family said they make money by selling vegetables. They bought ten acres of land before, and now they probably have more than twenty acres of land."
Father Zhong nodded, "It does look okay."
Mother Zhong: "I think it's a good idea too. If you think it's okay, I'll go talk to Aunt Jin."
"it is good."
In the evening, Zhong's mother cooked the vegetables sent by the Qiao family. After the family ate them, they found that they were indeed much more delicious than those grown at home.
"This dish is really good, no wonder it sells so well." Father Zhong watched as his little grandson, who didn't like vegetables at home, actually ate several servings of it with his chopsticks.
Zhong Jiahang was a little hesitant. "I heard that their family grows a lot of vegetables, on a total of more than 20 acres of land. If my younger sister marries there, will she have to work in the fields all day? My younger sister doesn't do much farm work at home." Zhong Manzhu has always been helping with housework at home.
Zhong Jiahang's wife thought: She didn't do much farm work at home before. Doesn't she have to work hard after marrying into the Zhong family? Who can be the same after marriage? Being a daughter-in-law is different from being a daughter.
Father Zhong: "You have to do this kind of work to make money. It won't be the same after you get married. But I know that the Qiao family hired people to help with farm work before. If you don't know what the work is, ask more and learn more."
Of course, Zhong's mother also wanted to marry Manzhu to a better family, preferably one where she didn't have to work and could be a lady. But that was not so easy, as her Manzhu was not stunningly beautiful.
After searching around for so long, the Qiao family is already pretty good. At least Mrs. Qiao Chen looks very kind and will not torture her daughter-in-law. Besides, the family is close to home, so if anything happens, they will directly take charge of the matter for her.
Zhong Manzhu nodded: "I know."
A few days later, the Qiao family and the Zhong family settled their marriage, but the wedding could not happen so soon, and it would take place next year at the latest.
Knowing that the third son of the Qiao family had actually settled down with Manzhu of the Zhong family, other people in Danan Village had something to say. Many of them were sour, saying that the third son of the Qiao family was not good enough, and why the Zhong family fell in love with the Qiao family, and that the two families were not a good match.
The Zhong family has a master named Tongsheng, who is already a very powerful figure in the eyes of others.
"Everyone in the Qiao family relies on their face."
"I think so too."
Granny Yan was speechless to these people, "At least they still have the face to look at you, look at what you have, nothing, and yet you still compare yourself with others, bah!"
Everybody was discussing it. At this time, the village chief Qiao Feng brought soldiers to the Qiao family again. It turned out that Qiao Dashan's curved plow was taken away by the county magistrate. It was heard that the thing was very helpful for agriculture. The emperor was happy. The county magistrate had picked up another achievement, and the reward came down. The Qiao family received a reward of ten taels of silver.
"Wow!" Everyone was shocked.
"Qiao Dashan has made great progress and actually received a reward from the imperial court."
"What does a curved plow look like? I want to see it."
The Qiao family was suddenly crowded with people, as everyone wanted to see what the curved plow looked like and actually won a reward.
After Qiao Dashan made his new curved plow, he had no idea how many times people had touched it. Some people even took it away to try it out and found that it was much easier to use than the previous straight-beam plow and it was much faster.
For a moment, everyone wanted Qiao Dashan to help make the curved plow, but it was impossible for Qiao Dashan to make so many.
Finally, Qiao Feng said that the government had already hired a craftsman to make it, and he could buy it himself. Only then did everyone let Qiao Dashan go.
However, Qiao Dashan still helped the village chief's family and the Zhong family. Needless to say, the village chief's family helped them so much, and the other one was the future in-laws, so they really needed to please a little. Of course, it was not free, and they still charged a symbolic fee.
Qiao Dashan actually asked Zhen Yue and Qian if they wanted to help their parents as well, but Zhen Yue directly refused. If they did it for the Zhen family, they would do it for free, and they might not even get a single word of praise.
Zhen Yue refused, and Qian also refused after thinking about it. Her mother might think it was right.
Zhen Yue's hands were almost healed. She had a hard time washing her hair before. It felt itchy after so long. "Qiao Da, help me boil some water. I want to wash my hair."
Qiao Chao was originally in the room thinking about what to draw next. When he heard the voice, he immediately put down his pen and said, "Okay."
