Qian Xile didn't hide anything.

She is going to get married.

There was nothing wrong with saying it out loud. She was not afraid even if her brother and sister-in-law complained to her. She had hidden the dowry money in a place where it could never be found.

Only she knows.

"Kid, why didn't you tell your brother about such a big thing? How much have you saved?" Qian Ping'an asked.

"I won't tell you. You will know it when I get married."

Qian Xile turned his head and ignored him.

Jiang Fubao sat obediently in the chair and said nothing.

She held the cup and drank water in small sips.

In fact, his eyes were darting around, quietly observing his future sister-in-law.

The two parties chatted for a long time.

Half an hour later, Jiang Fubao and his family left Qianjia Village.

Another night.

As soon as it got light in the morning, the Jiang family went to find Qian the matchmaker at the agreed time.

Prepare to propose marriage together.

Today, Matchmaker Qian wore a red dress on purpose, and she walked to Qian Xile's house with her voice raised high.

The noise was so loud, as if someone was deliberately trying to let the villagers know.

"Boom boom boom——"

The Qian family’s door was closed.

Matchmaker Qian knocked three times before footsteps were heard from inside.

"I'm here to help the Jiang family..."

"Oh, you're proposing marriage so early? That's right, where can I find a wife who doesn't want a dowry? If it were my son, I would rush to marry him. If he ran away, wouldn't it be a big loss? Right?

Matchmaker Qian, you are so poor that you don’t even give me a penny for my Xile. I don’t know why Xile wants to marry into such a family. I am her sister-in-law, so I naturally hope that she can live a better life. But she doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness~”

Qian Xile's sister-in-law Zhu Pan'er opened the door and didn't wait for Qian the matchmaker to finish speaking.

He interrupted her.

She pretended to pinch her sleeves and wipe away her tears.

However, it was so fake that the corners of my eyes were dry.

It's obviously a happy day, but she insists on being annoying.

Matchmaker Qian’s smile froze on her face.

Zhang Jinlan, who had a bad temper, wanted to get angry, but after thinking it over she held back.

After all, he is proposing marriage in person, and it would be difficult to end it if the matter gets out of hand.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

No one spoke.

Zhu Paner, feeling that she had won, was about to ridicule again, but a child's voice suddenly sounded.

"Auntie, there's a piece of food stuck in your teeth. It's quite big."

Jiang Fubao was held in the arms of his aunt. She stretched out her little fleshy hand, pointed at Zhu Paner's mouth, and said while trying not to laugh.

This is when people are at their most vulnerable.

Zhu Pan'er was also a person who cared about her reputation, so she quickly shut her mouth.

He put his fingers in his mouth and felt between his teeth.

But she had so many teeth and without a mirror, she didn't know where the food got stuck, so she was so busy that she didn't even look up.

He even ignored the word "Auntie" that Jiang Fubao called him.

Everyone suppressed laughter.

Until Qian Xile comes out.

Only the Jiang family members were able to enter the Qian family.

Sit in the main room.

Qian Xile personally brought a few glasses of water.

There's no sugar in it.

"There was some candy left at home, but my sister-in-law is so stingy that I don't know where she hid it. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. You guys just have to make do with what you have."

Qian Xile is not afraid of being embarrassed.

Tell a few people about your family affairs directly.

This made everyone laugh.

Zhu Paner came in from the yard after picking her teeth.

She didn't pay attention just now.

It was not until she saw Zhu Yingqiu's face that she froze in her tracks: "It's you?"

Although she hadn't seen him for many years, she naturally remembered him as they grew up in the same village.

"Heh..." Zhu Yingqiu sneered with the corners of his mouth drooping, and ignored her.

This kind of person is disgusting if you say a single word to her.

He killed his family and still has the nerve to live in this world.

The bad guys will be left for thousands of years!

"No, I don't agree to this marriage. You can't marry her son, no matter who you marry."

The laughter seemed to hurt Zhu Paner's fragile heart.

She had a gloomy face and wanted to kick the Jiang family out.

"Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to interfere in my marriage? What, do you want me to make a scene again? I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that your reputation will spread far and wide, and your three precious sons won't be able to find wives in the future, haha."

Qian Xile, who was sitting on a chair, sneered with the corner of his mouth tilted.

Zhu Paner was choked by just a few words.

She breathed heavily and pointed at Qian Xile with her hand.

But I can't utter a single word.

"Snapped--"

"Brother, what did you promise me before? Have you forgotten? None of you can interfere in my marriage! Who I want to marry is my business. Your wife has bullied me so much. I wonder how you can face our parents in a hundred years!"

Qian Xile slammed the table.

It scared everyone.

She questioned her eldest brother harshly.

Qian Ping'an, who had been timid for many years, finally gained some backbone for the first time when he thought of his parents.

He grabbed Zhu Paner's arm and pulled his wife out of the door.

The main room finally became quiet.

"Hey, aunt and uncle, Grandma Jiang, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Qian Xile's expression changed immediately.

Her anger dissipated instantly and she smiled foolishly twice.

"You've suffered so much over the years."

Zhang Jinlan's words made Qian Xile's eyes red.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this on such a happy day. Come, I've prepared the matchmaking documents, the two of you should sign them."

Those who can be matchmakers are all literate.

The matchmaking letter was written by Matchmaker Qian yesterday.

The two of them signed the agreement.

The matchmaking letter was handed over to Zhang Jinlan for safekeeping.

"Child, please keep the two taels of betrothal gift with you." Zhang Jinlan looked outside the main hall.

He quietly stuffed two taels of silver into Xile's pocket.

"Grandma Jiang, please keep it for me. You can give it to me on the day I get married. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will steal it. Oh, and there's also a dowry. I'll give it to you. Please keep it for me as well."

Qian Xile pulled out a purse from his trouser leg.

There's quite a bit of change in there.

Put together, it's exactly five taels.

"Oh, so many?" Zhang Jinlan took a breath.

How many wild vegetables and mushrooms did my granddaughter-in-law who has not yet married me dig? How did she save so many?

"I started saving money since I was old enough to understand. Maybe my parents blessed me. When I went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, I accidentally got lost one time and walked to the inner circle. I picked up a mushroom that was different from ordinary mushrooms. I asked a friend in the village and she said it was Ganoderma lucidum.

Although it's not a big sum, it earned me four and a half taels of silver. The remaining half tael was earned from selling wild vegetables and mushrooms, which is exactly five taels, not a penny more. On my wedding day, my sister-in-law will definitely follow me closely, so I'd better give it to you, Grandma Jiang, to keep it for me so she won't find out that I'm hiding the silver."

Qian Xile threw two taels of silver into the purse.

After tying it tightly, he put it in Zhang Jinlan's hand.

"Since you trust me, I will keep it for you. When you marry in, I will return it to you. Don't worry, the betrothal gifts and dowry are not public money. You will keep them by yourself. You can spend them on anything you want in the future."
