After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land
Chapter 124 Promise
"It's the Ye family's sister-in-law, come in quickly. Thank you for sending my granddaughter back. Your family has helped us many times, but I haven't been able to say thank you."
"It's nothing, just a helping hand. Your three children are all sensible, just wait for them to enjoy a good life in the future." Mrs. Li was talking about the children.
"Your grandchildren are pretty good, especially the little girl who came last time. She looks very blessed." Grandma Wei also praised Ye Qing.
"My granddaughter is a good child, but the eldest grandson is a worry. He is so old, but he was delayed by the famine and there is no marriage yet." Li pointed at Dalang.
Ye Dalang was a little confused. Grandma, I'm still here. It's embarrassing for you to say that. But he only dared to complain in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud. He still had a silly expression on his face.
Grandma Wei's heart moved. She knew the Ye family and had a good family tradition. She didn't show it on her face, but she was talking about her own child.
"It's the same for all of them. These children were delayed because of fleeing famine. It's the same for my granddaughter, and Wei Jia and Wei Xiu's studies were also delayed."
Li heard what she wanted to hear and continued the conversation. "I sent several of my grandchildren to study in the city last year. Master Jiang was a juren, so he taught a few of them and he taught them quite well."
Grandma Wei asked about his studies in detail. Wei Jia's father was a scholar. His family was well-off in the past and owned dozens of acres of land.
During a famine, Wei Jia's parents were injured in the head in order to protect their family. They were caught in the rain and had a fever, but they couldn't find a doctor, so they left the whole family with only the old and the young.
They chatted for a while, then seeing that it was getting late, said goodbye and went back.
When the three of them got home, it was already time to cook dinner. Li was tired after a day of work, so she went back to her room to lie down first.
Zhou went to the kitchen to cook. Ye Qing had already steamed the buns and was just going to stir-fry two dishes before eating.
Before Ye Qing asked about today's situation, Zhou couldn't help but scold the Wang family for being too demanding.
Ye Qing was speechless. Why was his brother's marriage so bumpy?
The two of them finished cooking, but Old Man Ye and Old Da Ye had not returned yet. As soon as Ye Da Lang got home, he went to fetch water to water the vegetables. It hadn't rained in the past two days, so the leaves were curling up.
Li came out of the house, went to the kitchen and talked to Ye Qing.
"Qingya, are you familiar with Wei Xin and his brother? What kind of person are they?"
"Why did you think of asking this? I think it's not bad. They are not sneaky and they are also polite and grateful."
Zhou couldn't help but ask the question in her heart, "Why is mother so concerned about the Wei family today?"
Li asked back, "What do you think of Wei Xin?"
"She's pretty good, good-looking and well-behaved. If Dalang could find a wife like this, I would wake up laughing even in my sleep."
Mrs. Li has always been very satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law, but she sometimes tends to be confused.
Ye Qingchen finally understood, "Mom, Sister Xin hasn't said anything about me yet." They had talked about it the last time they chatted.
"Oh, I know. I heard his family say it this afternoon. No, I have a stupid brain, or my mother is smart, I didn't react. I can't give up such a good daughter-in-law." Zhou was annoyed that she didn't react in the afternoon.
"It's okay. Her grandmother probably has the same idea. If she hadn't had this idea, she wouldn't have responded to that question in the afternoon. You ask Dalang what he thinks. If he is willing, we can be proactive." After talking about three daughters-in-law, Li is more experienced than Zhou and can judge people more accurately.
Zhou put down the spoon in her hand and went to the riverbank to ask Ye Dalang what he thought.
When Ye Dalang heard Zhou's question, his face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, he had been tanned recently, so the redness was not so obvious.
"Mom, I'll listen to my family."
When Zhou heard this, she knew what her son meant and hurried back to the kitchen.
Ye Dalang had met Wei Xin several times on the road and helped him a few times. He had not thought about this at first, but when he heard Zhou's question, Wei Xin's figure was all in his mind.
He then understood that every time he went to Ji Village, he paid attention to the road and was very happy when he met Wei Xin. He fell in love with this strong and independent girl.
At night, when everyone in the family was asleep, Zhou was talking to Boss Ye about this matter in the room, "Dad, do you think the Wei family is okay? If so, I will find someone to propose marriage tomorrow."
Boss Ye thought back to the few times he had met Wei Jia. He was a sensible child, and it was obvious that he had good upbringing.
"I think it's okay. His grandfather is obviously a wise old man. With him in the Wei family, we can't go wrong. I think Wei Jia will be good in the future."
Zhou was relieved and planned to find Aunt Hua early tomorrow morning to ask her to help carry it.
Boss Ye disagreed and planned to go to the city to buy some things first. If Aunt Hua went, and the Wei family was willing to let the two children meet her, then they would go there formally and not treat her badly.
Early in the morning, Zhou and Ye Lao Da drove a ox cart to the city and first bought a set of clothes for Ye Dalang, and then bought two pieces of flowered cloth.
After buying a few cakes and some food, they returned home.
After returning home, Zhou did not enter the house, but went to Aunt Hua's house first.
"Is Aunt Hua at home?"
"At home, how can my sister-in-law have time to come and play."
Zhou entered the main room and sat on a chair. "Aunt Hua, I came to ask you for help."
"Sister-in-law, tell me if there is anything we can help with."
Zhou came close to Aunt Hua and repeated it in a whisper.
"Wei Xin, I know that girl. She looks pretty good. I'll go there right away. We can't let others take such a good girl away."
Aunt Hua asked her son to take her there. Zhou hurried home to get the cakes and put them on the ox cart. Going empty-handed would seem insincere.
The last time Aunt Hua's son went to Ji Village to help build a house, he happened to be in the same group with the Wei family. He didn't need to ask anyone and just stopped in front of the Wei family's door.
The two knocked on the door and went in. Aunt Hua went to talk to Wei's grandmother Qian. Wei Jia happened to be at home, chatting with Aunt Hua's son. The two knew each other well.
Qian had this guess in her mind after listening to Li's words yesterday. Seeing Aunt Hua coming, she was very satisfied with the etiquette of the Ye family.
"Her aunt, wait a minute, I will discuss this matter with my family." After saying that, she went into the house.
Aunt Hua walked around the yard. The Wei family had tidied up the house very neatly, with the firewood neatly arranged.
After a while, Qian came out. "Aunt, let the two children meet. If there is a predestined relationship, we can discuss it later."
Aunt Hua just set a time and came early tomorrow morning.
Aunt Hua didn't go home, but went to Old Ye's house first. "Sister-in-law, her family is willing to let the two children meet her tomorrow. You can go together tomorrow. From what I heard, there may be some requirements, but I don't know what they are."
Zhou's heart tightened, thinking it wouldn't be the same as the last two times. Thinking about it, it shouldn't be, but you can't know a person's heart by his appearance, so let's talk about it tomorrow.
Ye Dalang was very nervous. He washed his whole body at night and tried his new clothes over and over again.
Zhou looked a little worried. If the Wei family became like the previous two families, Dalang would be very sad.
