I have been farming since I crossed over.

Chapter 266 You get engaged, I get engaged, and we all get engaged together

After hearing what Wu said, Uncle Wu couldn't help but burst into laughter. His eyes, which were not big to begin with, narrowed into slits. A satisfied smile spread across his face as he said, "Okay, since you're so optimistic, then there's no problem. But, as for this pregnancy, can you put it on hold for a while? After all, I still have two older brothers!"

Mrs. Wu nodded slightly and said, "I think it's quite suitable. I didn't care about who was older at the time. Besides, Erya is a good child. She has a gentle personality, is hardworking and capable, and is a perfect match for our family. As for the others, we'll just have to wait and see! Oh, and there's the village chief's eldest granddaughter. She's just 16 years old this year and looks very pretty, but she's been spoiled by her family since she was a child, so she might be a little spoiled!"

Hearing this, Uncle Wu laughed heartily and waved his hand nonchalantly, saying, "What's there to worry about being spoiled? We don't need her to do heavy farm work every day. As long as she can take care of the household, there shouldn't be any big problems. How about this? Later, you take us to visit each family one by one so we can discuss the specific matters with them."

Mrs. Wu smiled and nodded, then turned back to the house and began to pack up in preparation for the next visit.

On this seemingly ordinary day, the four brothers Wu Youfu, Wu Youxi, Wu Yougui, and Wu Youwang unexpectedly all decided to marry at the same time. They chose Mei Tingting, Wan Erya, Tang Qiuxiang, and Zhang Xiaohua from Changshan Village as their future wives, respectively, and agreed to hold their wedding together on the auspicious day of the tenth day of the tenth lunar month, entering the marriage palace together.

Uncle Wu rushed back to Changping Village, taking advantage of the darkness of the night after finishing his business in Changshan Village. Upon returning home, he didn't even bother to rest for a moment before recounting the details of the marriages he had arranged for his nephews and nieces in Changshan Village.

After hearing this, the women of the Wu family all showed satisfaction on their faces. Especially when they learned that Youyou had personally selected these marriages, they nodded in praise, expressing their confidence in Youyou's discerning eye and that the girls she chose would surely be excellent.

Old Lady Wu said, "Right now, the only three boys left are Youcai, Youqing, and Youxiang. Let's look into their marriages more often. As for the other boys, we can put it on hold for a while. It won't be too late to wait for another year or so."

"You all should look around a little more and see if you can find a more suitable girl to settle the matter with these three brats." Old Man Wu said.

Hearing this, Third Aunt Duan couldn't help but smile and jokingly said, "Sister-in-law, look at how your family has managed to arrange the marriages for both children in no time. It's truly remarkable that Big Brother personally took charge! But, isn't Big Brother a little partial? Why do you only care about your own children?"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Wu's face darkened and she responded unhappily, "Duan, have you finished all the work you have on hand? If so, then go and feed the pigs in the pigpen quickly, otherwise you'll be sitting around all day talking nonsense and can't even speak a proper sentence!"

After being scolded by her mother-in-law, Duan hurriedly explained with a smile: "Oh, mother, I have just been out of confinement for a short time. How can I do those heavy physical work so soon? Youquan is still sleeping. I will go and see if Youquan is awake. Is that okay?" Before she finished speaking, Duan hurriedly ran towards her own yard as if her feet were greased.

Aunt Qin took the hands of Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li and said, "Sisters-in-law, don't overthink it. You know what kind of person your eldest brother is. He definitely won't be partial to anyone."

Fourth aunt Zhang patted eldest sister-in-law Qin's hand and said, "Don't worry, I didn't think too much about it. In fact, what I want to say is that I have had my eyes on Li Tongsheng's daughter for a long time, but Youcai is always away from home. I used to feel that my son was not worthy of that girl. Now that Youcai is also working outside, I thought I would come to talk to him. What do you think?"

When Old Lady Wu heard it was Li Wuyu, the eldest daughter of the villager Li Tongsheng, a satisfied smile immediately spread across her face. After all, this Miss Li was the one she had first chosen to marry her eldest grandson. It was a pity that her eldest grandson, Youfu, had already been betrothed to a girl from the Mei family, but fortunately, there was still a chance to marry Miss Li to her fourth son.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Wu couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. Then, she smiled and said to her fourth aunt, Zhang, beside her: "How about this? You and your eldest sister-in-law go to the Li family together and discuss this matter with them to see if the marriage can be finalized. If possible, why not let them get married with the other brothers? Wouldn't that be a beautiful thing?"

Upon hearing this, Fourth Aunt Zhang quickly nodded, expressing her willingness to go. Seeing this, Eldest Aunt Qin also agreed without hesitation.

Fifth aunt Li looked at the bride chosen by her fourth sister-in-law and said with a smile, "Li Tongsheng's daughter is good. She is talented and blessed." Then she looked at Old Lady Wu and said, "Mother, what do you think of Gu Pan, the eldest daughter of Gu Dadanjia, and Youxiang from our family? Although her family's conditions are not very good, she has four younger brothers who will be able to help their eldest sister in the future. The main thing is that I like her daughter. She is independent and responsible. She is a good girl."

Old Lady Wu listened to the Fifth Daughter-in-law's words and smiled, "I wanted to say something about her, too. She's really a good girl, but because her mother passed away early, her family is a little poor. But because it was Gu Pan who raised the four younger brothers, they have a better relationship. When you come to their house, you should explain that our family's marriage schedule is a bit tight, and whether their family has any difficulties."

The fifth aunt agreed with a smile, and then continued, "Mom, what do you think of Old Man Kong's second granddaughter? I really like her, but she has no parents, only a grandfather and a younger brother. I'm afraid she will have to take care of her mother's side more."

After hearing this, Old Man Wu quickly said, "It's the granddaughter of the Kong family. Children taught by Brother Kong are definitely good. I'll go and talk to them about this. As for the time, let's have all seven brothers get married together!"

Uncle Wu thought about the families his family had suggested and thought they all seemed good. He quickly agreed, "Okay, let's arrange it this way. It's okay if the betrothal gifts are three times higher. Xier gave five taels of silver to each of them."

Just like that, three days before Yang Mingxi's wedding, all seven brothers of the Wu family had already arranged their marriages, and all agreed to get married on the same day, the tenth day of the tenth lunar month. They had truly fulfilled the joke: "You get engaged, I get engaged, and we all get engaged together."
