A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

Ma Youcai has an honest look and a somewhat cowardly personality. When Old Master Ma was alive, he was the one who made decisions on all matters big and small in the family. He would do whatever his father said and had no ideas of his own.

After Old Master Ma died, he was the head of the family on paper, but in reality it was his wife, Liao, who was in charge.

Ma Youcai sighed. Seeing his wife crying so miserably, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. In addition, his daughter was sitting there with red eyes and looking very aggrieved. As a father, he couldn't help but feel even more distressed.

"Mother, please don't cry. If you say that you don't want our daughter to marry over there, then we won't marry over there. Xiangzhi is the apple of my eye, how can I bear to let her suffer? Our daughter has been raised like a spoiled young lady since she was little, and she can never get used to doing farm work in a farmer's family. The Tian family and Tian Shitou are not worthy of our daughter. When I have time, I will go to Tian Danian's house and cancel the marriage."

Liao rolled her eyes and said, "Then don't forget to exchange the silver ingot back then. We lost money by exchanging the silver ingot for a dagger!"

Back then, when the two families got engaged, they left a token of love. The token that the Tian family left with the Ma family was a dagger. The dagger was jet black in color and could cut iron like mud. It was something that Tian Dahai carried with him at the time and regarded as a treasure.

The token of trust that the Ma family sent was a small silver ingot.

Although the small silver ingot weighed only four or five taels, it was finely crafted. There were even two capital “Fu” characters printed on the bottom of the silver ingot, which was very special.

For the Ma family at that time, such a silver ingot was nothing at all, but for the Ma family now, a silver ingot weighing four or five taels is also considered a considerable amount of wealth.

Seeing that his wife finally stopped making a fuss, Ma Youcai finally felt relieved.

"Don't worry, I will definitely change it back."

After hearing her husband say this, Liao was satisfied. She also sighed, "Alas, I also know that the old man liked the grandson of the Tian family back then, but who made our two families so different now?"

Liao knew it clearly in her mind. Although her family was not as wealthy as before, they still had several dozen taels of silver, which was one of the best in the small mountain village. Not to mention other things, just the food. They ate white rice and meat every day. How could a farmer family like the Tian family compare with her family?

She raised the handkerchief in her hand and felt very happy, but when she looked at the handkerchief in her hand again, she felt upset again.

The handkerchief she was holding now was just an ordinary piece of plain white cotton cloth, not at all as good as the brocade handkerchief embroidered with flowers that she had given to Yang at noon.

But now, this was the only handkerchief in the house, and she couldn't use a better one even if she wanted to.

Thinking of the handkerchief that she had given away, Liao felt a little distressed.

Humph! How could an ordinary farm lady be worthy of such fine materials!

However, in order to find out about the situation of Tian Danian's family, she was still willing to do it.

"Master, in my opinion, our Xiangzhi is destined to enjoy a good life. It is only right for her to marry into the county town and become a young lady. I have a distant cousin who lives in the county town. She has a wide network of contacts. How about I ask her to find a good family for our Xiangzhi in the county town?"

Ma Youcai glanced at his daughter and saw that her porcelain-white face was flushed red, which made him feel even more distressed.

"As you should, my dear wife, whatever you say is what we will listen to."

Liao chuckled, no longer showing the aggrieved look she had just shown.

"Our Xiangzhi is already fifteen this year, and will be sixteen next year. We should start arranging things for her. If they are a good match, they can get married next year, and maybe you can become a grandfather the year after.

"Master, think about it, marrying to a county town and living a life of ordering servants around, riding in a carriage, and having meat for every meal, how great is that! It's better than going to the countryside and serving peasants, right?"

"Yes, yes, wife, you are right."

With just a few words, the Ma family decided on Ma Xiangzhi's marriage.

Little did they know that the Tian family had the same idea as them and didn't want to marry them.

After coming out of Tian Danian and Wang's room, Tian Xiaoman did not return to the room.

"Second sister, I need to pee urgently. I need to go to the toilet. You go back first."

"Let me go with you. It's dark now. The backyard is pitch black. Don't fall into the toilet again."

"It's okay, it's okay. My eyesight is fine. I can go by myself."

But I can't let my second sister accompany me. It's true that I have to pee urgently, and it's also true that I have other things to do.

Tian Xiaoman came to the backyard furtively, no, openly, and looked into the mouse hole next to the jujube tree in his home again and again.

"Fat Gray! Fat Gray!"

There was silence in the rat hole.

No way?

That fat mouse deceived himself?

Just when Tian Xiaoman was about to give up, a rustling sound came from the rat hole.

Immediately afterwards, with a "swoosh", a gray mouse shadow jumped out from the mouse hole behind the jujube tree, scaring Tian Xiaoman so much that he took a step back.

"Oh my god! Your way of appearance is so scary!"

In the dark sky, a mouse suddenly jumped out. Anyone would be scared.

It was not until Tian Xiaoman touched his chest and looked carefully that he realized that the mouse that suddenly jumped out was not Fat Gray, but a thin mouse that was much smaller than Fat Gray.

This mouse is similar in color to Fat Gray, with a particularly long tail and a pair of round eyes that are particularly eye-catching in the night.

What to do now?

It’s not Fat Gray!

It's always right to say hello, right?

"Hello! Nice to meet you!"

The skinny mouse squeaked, his tone full of excitement.

"Are you Xiaoman?"

Tian Xiaoman was stunned: Uh, so I’m so famous?

Seeing that Tian Xiaoman didn't say anything, the skinny mouse asked again, "Are you Xiaoman?"

Tian Xiaoman quickly responded, "Yes! I'm Tian Xiaoman, I'm looking for Fat Gray."

The skinny mouse tilted his head, as if thinking seriously about who the fat gray in Tian Xiaoman's mouth was.

Seeing this, Tian Xiaoman quickly added, "It's your Rat King, the fattest and most obese rat."

The skinny mouse suddenly realized, "The king is not here, and he left a message. If anyone calls out to this mouse hole, let me come out to answer. The king said that the one who can come here to find him must be Xiaoman. Xiaoman, what can I do for you?"

In the dark night, the man and the mouse faced each other, asking and answering each other, which made Tian Xiaoman feel particularly weird.

Especially one of the protagonists, herself, no matter how Tian Xiaoman thought about it, it felt a bit scary and funny.

"I would like to ask Fat Gray to help me investigate the situation of Ma Youcai's family in Majiagou next door. It would be best if I could investigate every detail. Well, it would be even better if I could monitor their every move."

The skinny mouse nodded, obviously understanding what Tian Xiaoman meant.

"What about food? How much can you give?"

Tian Xiaoman was stunned. Have all the mice become smart these days? Do they all know how to trade with humans?
