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

Since it was about her own son, Wang was of course concerned. She stood up and hurried to the village.

Tian Xiaoman was helpless. Her mother was straightforward but also very impatient. Wouldn't she just listen to her finish her words?

"Mom, don't leave so quickly. Have you decided whose house you want to go to?"

Wang was stunned. Yes, she hadn't decided whose house to go to yet. She had prepared all the words, but who should she tell? She couldn't just tell everyone she met in the village. That would be too much trouble!

"Let's go to Second Grandma's house! Please wait a moment—"

Tian Xiaoman ran back to her room. There were still some snacks that she and her father bought in the county town last time. She and her second sister had not been willing to eat them, so they kept them in a wooden box in the room. Now was a good time to take some of them for her mother to take over.

"Mom, the second grandfather and the second grandmother are the oldest elders in the village. You can't go empty-handed. Bring these snacks with you. When you get there, tell them that your eldest brother has returned from the county town and is thinking about the second grandfather and the second grandmother. So you brought them the snacks from the county town so that they can have a taste."

The second grandfather and second grandmother mentioned by Tian Xiaoman are the longest-lived couple in Tianjia Village. They are both almost eighty years old this year.

According to the family tree, the second grandfather, the old village chief's father, and Tian Danian's grandfather all have the same father.

Usually in Tianjia Village, whenever there is any event, big or small, the second grandfather and second grandmother have to be present to show respect.

The second grandfather and second grandmother had a son and a daughter in their lifetime. Their daughter got married early and their son passed away a few years ago. Now they live in Tianjia Village with their eldest grandson's family.

The second grandfather's eldest grandson Tian Wang is of the same generation as Tian Danian, only two years younger than Tian Danian. His wife Zhang Qiaoyun is efficient at work, but a bit of a chatterbox. She likes to gossip about other people's affairs when she has nothing to do. There is nothing big or small that she doesn't know about in the village.

From big things like which family has added a few acres of land, or how many kilograms of grain they harvested in the autumn harvest, to small things like which man a young widow in the village flirted with, or which child got beaten twice in school, he knew everything.

It can be said that Zhang Qiaoyun is like a little loudspeaker in Tianjia Village.

When Wang heard Tian Xiaoman ask her to go to the second grandmother's house, she immediately understood.

She took the snack handed to her by Tian Xiaoman, with a look of "determination to win" on her face.

"Don't worry, my girl. I will definitely complete the task. I guarantee that within half a day, this matter of our family will spread throughout the entire Tianjia Village. Maybe within a day, even the nearby villages will know the cause and effect of our eldest brother's breaking off the engagement. I wonder who can come up with a bad idea and put the blame on your eldest brother."

Wang hurried out of her yard, leaving Tian Danian and several other children to look at Tian Xiaoman.

Tian Xiaoman: "Dad, big brother, second sister, third brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

The father and his two sons all gave Tian Xiaoman a thumbs up.

Just as Tian Xiaoman expected, after the Ma family returned home, they told everyone in Majiagou about the cancellation of the engagement.

Some people who are easy to trust will inevitably ask a few questions, "This marriage has been arranged for decades. Wasn't it your grandfather who helped arrange it? Why is it called off now?"

Ma Youcai's wife pretended to smile helplessly, "Hey, the two children are grown up now, and I wanted to get married early, but the Tian family - oh, no more!"

Although Liao didn't say anything big, but the tone and intonation of her voice made it clear that she was still wanting more, and it was obvious that it was hard not to think that there was something wrong with the Tian family.

However, Ma Youcai's family was complacent and had just passed the blame for the broken engagement on to others within half a day when everyone in Majiagou already knew the real reason why the Tian and Ma families broke off the engagement.

They were all farmers, and no one was nobler than anyone else. However, everyone looked at Ma Youcai's family with a bit of contempt.

After learning that they had been cheated, some people with bad tempers or who had always been at odds with Ma Youcai couldn't help but spit a few times when passing by the Ma family's door.

"Bah, what a family! They are looking for a better place to work while riding a donkey, they are looking for something else while eating from the pot, they want to climb up the ladder but fail to climb it and yet they blame others for it, how shameless!"

If it were the same as in the past, Ma Youcai's wife would not be able to bear to hear others criticizing her family like this, and would have run out and quarreled with that person long ago.

But now, she was in the wrong and was obviously inferior to others. Even if she was spat at a few times, Liao did not dare to go out and argue with them. She could only smash the pots and pans in the house.

"What a great Tian Danian! What a great Tian family! They really piss me off!"

Ma Youcai was better off, as he was a grown man and could think more positively. The worst that could happen was that he would just find a family farther away for his daughter. But Liao was not so positive about it. She was so upset by this matter that she lay on the kang for several days.

When the storm of breaking off the engagement had finally died down in Majiagou, Ma Youcai's wife felt relieved and dared to go out again.

But she never imagined that a bigger blow was yet to come.

On a sunny morning, the Li family from the county town came to Majiagou with several large boxes and music.

Leading the group were Boss Li and his son, and a matchmaker dressed in red and green.

Seeing this scene suddenly, Liao was stunned, and then showed ecstasy.

She said that her daughter was a blessed person, destined to enjoy a happy life. Look, the Li family has come with great fanfare to propose marriage.

But as soon as Boss Li opened his mouth, Liao couldn't catch her breath and just leaned forward.

It turned out that the one who came to propose marriage was not her daughter Ma Xiangzhi, but her niece who had come to live with her a few days ago because her parents had died and she had nowhere to go.

Boss Li didn't care whether Liao really did it or just pretended to do it. He just gave the betrothal gifts and arranged the marriage.

Moreover, Boss Li also made some "bold words", saying that he had told people to forget it, and that seven days later would be a good day, and that he would come to marry Liao's niece in a sedan chair with eight bearers.

Finally, he even warned Ma Youcai to see the situation clearly and not to have any evil thoughts in the next few days, otherwise he would offend the Li family and make it difficult for Ma Youcai and his family to survive in Pinglin County.

By the time Liao caught his breath, the matter was already settled.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to vent her anger on her niece and vent her anger.

But Ma Youcai repeated Boss Li's previous threats, and Liao, who had just woken up, was so angry that he immediately pouted again.

Ma Youcai quickly sought medical help, and after a long period of effort until midnight, Liao finally woke up safely again.

However, although Liao did not stick out her tongue after waking up, she continued to cry and make a fuss.

That night, almost everyone in Majiagou could hear the screams coming from Ma Youcai's house.
