The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

As soon as Lin Dahe left, Zhou Mei calmed down.

I still beat and scold my children, but at least I don’t yell at them anymore.

There was no one to cook, so I had to get up and cook it myself.

Sometimes I would shamelessly go to the old lady Lin next door to eat. When it was time for dinner, I would let the two kids take their bowls and squat at the door of the kitchen in the old house.

As soon as the two children entered the kitchen, Zhou Mei also came in with her bowl of rice, sat down and started eating without saying a word.

This caused Old Mrs. Lin to start cursing every day.

Wang Chunxiu next door was so scared that she carefully locked the kitchen door every day and dared not cook too much, for fear that one day the third son's wife would see the opportunity and come to eat for free.

Wang Chunxiu complained to Lin Dahai, "I should have followed my elder brother and his wife's example. I should have gone out to build a house even if I had to borrow money. Now I have to guard against my third brother's wife like a thief every day. She is not tired, but I am dead tired!"

"Don't you have no money?" Lin Dahai said casually while busy eating.

"Head of the household, the daughter-in-law of Linzhuang came to see me a few days ago. She has a niece from her mother's family who is sixteen years old this year. She is very happy and works very well, but she has three younger brothers at home. She said she wants to stay until she is eighteen before getting married."

"Three younger brothers?" Lin Dahai was afraid of marrying a "Dashan" to his son.

"Wouldn't the bride price be very high?"

"We haven't even talked about the betrothal gift yet. I was thinking, how about we meet first?"

Wang Chunxiu was anxious. The girls introduced by the village matchmaker were either a little silly or had very poor families. None of them were good.

"It's fine to meet once, it depends on what Lichun says. Big brother knows a lot of people, I'll ask him to help find out about the girl's family situation later."

Lin Lichun blushed when he was named, and stammered, "I always listen to my parents."

"Okay, then I'll talk to Lin Zhuang's wife."

Wang Chunxiu couldn't wait any longer and ran out after eating.

After a while, he came back and discussed with Lin Dahai, "Linzhuang's wife said that we would arrange a meeting between our two families the day after tomorrow."

"So anxious?" Lin Dahai and Zhou Mei said, "She didn't even need to discuss it with the woman, and she made the decision so quickly?"

Wang Chunxiu didn't think too much about it and didn't doubt it. "What's the big deal? Most people don't wait until the girl is 18 or 19 to get married. They would marry her early and have children. Besides, it's just a first meeting. It's not certain whether it will work out."

Lin Dahai thought it made sense, "Okay then, let's clean up the clothes after the beginning of spring and change into the new clothes we made last year."

Wang Chunxiu said: "Then you can call your elder brother and sister-in-law to support Lichun."

This was a big deal for his son, so Lin Dahai didn't dare to be careless and nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll go find my brother right away."

Wang Chunxiu followed quickly after hearing this, "I'll go with you."

It was getting dark when the two men walked to the end of the village.

My eldest brother and his family were eating in the yard with the door open.

Lin Dahai knocked on the door symbolically when he saw him, "Brother, are you having dinner?"

Seeing that it was the second brother and his wife, Lin Dajiang stood up and said, "I was just about to pack up. Dahai, what's going on?"

As soon as Lin Dahai told Li Taohua the purpose of their visit, Lin Dajiang asked Li Taohua to prepare some homemade sausages.

Wang Chunxiu quickly refused, "Brother, there is no need to prepare. The daughter-in-law of Linzhuang said that the young lady has three younger brothers and is afraid that our family will not like her and going to their house to see her will damage her reputation. She said that she should let the girl come to our house to see her."

Lin Dahai was shocked and complained, "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing just now? Didn't we go to the girl's house the first time? If it wasn't crowded, we would have gone to a teahouse in town to have a cup of tea."

Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Lin Dajiang asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?"

Wang Chunxiu thought it was just a simple date. Although she couldn't see the girl's family situation, it would be the same to ask about it afterwards, and it wasn't necessary to settle down right away.

"Brother, Lin Zhuang's wife introduced us, so there shouldn't be any mistakes. Dahai and I just need to pay more attention the day after tomorrow. Let's see the two children first, and we can talk about whether it's a success later."

"Okay, we'll come over the day after tomorrow."
