After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Old Madam Jiang did not keep the secret. She had returned to the city to stay for a few days a few days ago, and someone happened to be visiting with their children. She took a liking to the two girls at first sight.

"These two girls are not from the same family. One girl grew up under my care. She is the youngest daughter of the Ling family. This girl has a gentle personality and is very good at housekeeping and maids. She is fifteen this year. Her uncles are all officials in the family. Her father is also a scholar and serves the two elderly people at home."

Zhou knew the Ling family. They were very famous in Wu'an City. All the children in the family were promising. They were also a kind family and would give out porridge for two days at the end of every year.

Zhou felt that her family was marrying above her station and didn't know whether the girl would agree.

"What about the other family?" Zhou thought that there were many children in the family, all of whom were of marriageable age.

"The other family is also from our Wu'an City, but she has been living with her father in the city since she was a child. Her father works as a clerk in the city, which can be considered as working in the government office. This girl comes back every year to celebrate the New Year, and I have watched her grow up. I also know her mother, who is the most gentle and virtuous woman. The girl she raises will be great."

Zhou was excited when she heard this. Both girls were well-off and came from scholarly families, so they should be able to talk to the child.

"Madam Jiang, these two girls are both very outstanding and have good family backgrounds. We all come from humble backgrounds. I wonder if the girls' families would agree." Zhou was a little worried.

Madam Jiang patted Zhou's hand and said, "The children in your family are very promising. Your family is not poor. A family that can support so many scholars will not care about this temporary gap."

Zhou was still nervous, "Madam Jiang, our family is very willing to marry these two girls. If they can be attracted to our family with such good conditions, we will wake up smiling in our dreams."

Old Madam Jiang was happy to hear this. Although she did not ask for anything in return when introducing people to the Ye family, she felt a sense of accomplishment when she made them truly grateful.

Zhou didn't dare to make the decision alone and had to go home to discuss it with her family.

Old Madam Jiang also knew this. It was an important event in the child's life, so it wouldn't be overly cautious for them.

Zhou came out from Old Madam Jiang's place and quickly suppressed the joy on her face. The matter had not yet been finalized, and she couldn't tell anyone about it and ruin the girl's reputation.

When she passed by Ye Laoer's house, she also called Shen.

Ye Lao Er was not at home and went to the dock early in the morning. Ye Lao San was going to Wu'an City today. Ye Chenyi was getting married soon, and they had already started shopping.

Ye Laosan and the Zhao family had agreed that since Ye Chenyi was busy with his studies and didn't have much time, they would get married before the New Year and then let the couple go to the provincial capital to study together after the New Year.

Ye Laoer came to pick up Old Man Ye early in the morning. It was such a cold day and his family didn't allow Old Man Ye to go to the dock.

Old man Ye disagreed. He liked his current job very much. Many people chatted with him every day, and they were all about topics that interested him.

Old Man Ye was only responsible for identifying the practicality of the farm tools. Ye Guang was in charge of the specific business negotiations, so he had no pressure at all.

Shen didn't know why Zhou called her, but she followed her anyway with trust.

Zhou did not disturb the people who were reading and took Shen to the backyard.

"Mom, eat less peanuts. They make you hungry and you won't feel like eating." Zhou looked at Li, who already had a lot of peanut shells in front of her.

Li put down the peanut shells in her hand and said, "You came back so soon. You didn't spend more time with Madam Jiang."

Zhou sat on the sofa, "I couldn't sit still for a moment. I was so excited that I didn't even put on my cape on the way back. I was sweating all over."

Shen also came over after sitting down. She poured herself a glass of water from the pot beside her, filled up Li's cup, and poured a cup for Zhou.

"If sister-in-law encounters something good, tell us about it so that we can all be happy together."

This was the reason Zhou had in mind when she called Shen over.

"Mrs. Jiang wants to find a matchmaker for our children. After listening to the girl's information, I think they are suitable for our Silang and Wulang."

Shen and Li were both anxious and urged Zhou to speak quickly.

"I think the girl who is suitable for Silang is the girl from the Yang family. The girl is sixteen years old this year and her family is also from Wu'an City. She grew up with her family in the prefectural city. Her father works as a clerk in the government office in the prefectural city. She is also a girl from a scholarly family."

Shen felt that this girl was good just by hearing her conditions. Since she could be introduced by Old Madam Jiang, this girl should also be gentle and generous.

"Sister-in-law, the girl is good, can our family match her?" Shen has two sons and one daughter, and only the youngest son is not married.

Li is old and has experienced a lot. Since Madam Jiang can say it, it means she is somewhat confident that it will succeed.

"A family with a daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. Our Silang is a scholar, still young, and his family is well off. Let's ask a matchmaker to give it a try. If it doesn't work out, outsiders won't know." Li felt that since she was the man, it was okay to be bold.

After listening to what Li said, Shen felt more confident.

Zhou asked her to go back and discuss it with Ye Lao Er, there was no rush.

"There is another girl. What are her conditions?" Li asked. Wulang has also reached the age to get married.

"The other girl is from the Ling family, the Ling family in Wu'an City. The uncles in that family are all officials." As soon as Zhou said this, everyone knew.

Shen immediately gave up the idea. The Ling family was not a match for Silang, but Wulang could still give it a try. The books they wrote were very popular in Wu'an City, and Wulang was favored by many families.

Li also began to feel uneasy. The Ling family was considered a wealthy family in Wu'an City and was not on the same level as them.

Zhou was also frightened and decided to wait until Boss Ye came back in the evening to discuss the matter.

Shen was excited. She didn't plan to go back. Instead of thinking about things alone at home, she might as well talk to everyone here.

Boss Ye went to the experimental field today. He is in charge of the field now and does not delegate anything to anyone else.

Zhou told Ye Lao Da about the situation of the two families, and Ye Lao San drove to Wu'an City.

He first went to find someone to inquire about the specific situation of the two families. They were not familiar with the Yang family at all, and had only heard of the Ling family.

Boss Ye first went to the yamen to find Ye Dalang and told him about the affairs of the two families.

Ye Dalang happened to know the situation of the two families. He had dealt with both families while he was in the yamen.

There is nothing wrong with the Ling family. They have strict family education and are very strict with their children. All the children in the family are very promising.

He also knew the Yang family. There were written exchanges between their yamen and the provincial capital. Lord Yang was a smooth man and understood the ways of the world.

They had dinner together. There were three sons and one daughter in the family. The parents were kind and the children were filial.

After listening to what his son said, Boss Ye understood what was going on. He asked his son to go back to work while he went to deliver the things he had brought home.

Ye Dalang was not at home, so Ye Lao Da unloaded his things and went to Ye Erlang's house.
