Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

"What's going on? Did you do it in advance--" Zhao Laosi asked in surprise.

Old man Qiao nodded: "Yeah."

Zhao Laosi couldn't figure it out for a long time: "But, why."

Given Qiao Xier's conditions and the fact that the Qiao family was doing well, everyone in the village thought that Qiao Xier was going to marry into the town.

The Qiao family actually fell in love with this poor boy?

Why is this a mismatch?

"Fourth Brother, don't worry about it. Just look at their horoscopes. There's nothing wrong. Xinghe will leave the engagement letter, and the two children will get married in three years."

Zhao Laosi was completely confused, but after thinking about it, he thought that maybe the Qiao family valued the child's honesty and integrity.

Indeed, Mu Xinghe has very good qualities.

Although it seems mismatched, Mu Xinghe got what he wanted and the Qiao family agreed happily. What else can he, an outsider, say?

I just hope that this child can be smarter and strive to pass the imperial examination to become a scholar, so as not to disappoint the Qiao family.

Looking at the horoscopes, Zhao Laosi was a little surprised again: "The horoscopes of these two children are very compatible. In all my years, I have never seen such a perfect match."

"When they are together, they will bring prosperity to each other."

It seems like they were destined by God, a match made in heaven.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Mu Xinghe's mouth. It was fate that destined them to be together.

"As long as the horoscope is alright, Xinghe, write the engagement letter."

Mu Xinghe opened the letter of appointment and presented it to him: "Grandpa Qiao, I have already written it, stamped it, and signed it."

Old man Qiao was illiterate, so he handed the engagement letter to Qiao Lian'er. Qiao Lian'er took a look at it. He had specially picked the most expensive one to buy for this engagement letter. It felt very fine in his hand, and the words on it were full of sincerity, saying things like "three years to marry you" and "together for a lifetime."

Seeing Qiao Lianer nodded, Old Man Qiao was in high spirits and patted Zhao Laosi on the shoulder.

"Old Four, you've been a good matchmaker. Drink half a pound of wine tonight before you leave."

Zhao Laosi saw the Qiao family slaughtering chickens and ducks in the yard, and he was still a little confused.

"Hey, this kid, he didn't have much money, but he brought so many things."

Old Mrs. Qiao opened the backpack that Mu Xinghe brought, counted the things on her back, and said with heartache.

"With the family's situation, if we have money, we should keep it for ourselves and buy vegetables, meat and grain."

Buy at least one or two taels of the things in this backpack.

"It's just a token of appreciation. We don't care about that in our family. This child is just too naive."

"Oh, you're not going to borrow money again, are you?"

"Grandma, I saw Brother Xinghe carrying a book box to the town. He must have sold all his notes. People who pass the imperial examination usually sell their notes, which are worth a lot of money." said Qiao Lianer.

Those students will rush to buy it.

She once went to the town and saw such a grand scene. The prices were getting higher and higher, and the highest bidder won.

"It won't sell for much, so you might as well keep the money for yourself." Old Mrs. Qiao said this, but in her heart she valued Mu Xinghe more and more.

Although he is poor, he will give as much as he can of what he has.

Such a good child will treat Xier with all his heart in the future.

Mu Xingyue also brought some and was sitting quietly under the osmanthus tree eating candy.

"Sister Jianer, can I come and play with you guys in the future?" Mu Xingyue asked with her head tilted.

Her brother was busy studying and had no time to accompany her, so she was often alone.

Because her parents had died, the children in the village didn't want to play with her because they thought she was unlucky.

"Sure, you can come whenever you want." Qiao Lianer said generously.

After this dinner, the news of the Qiao family's engagement with Mu Xinghe spread throughout the village.

For a moment, everyone thought the Qiao family was crazy.

She was actually engaged to a man who had no parents, didn't even pass the imperial examination, and had no future.

Moreover, the Mu family was divided after Mu Xinghe's father died. Because there were only three of them, mother and son, they only got three acres of land.

Now that Mu Xinghe's mother is dead, those relatives are eyeing his family's three acres of land. Mu Xinghe and his sister can't farm it, so sooner or later they will take it away to farm, leaving the family completely without support.

What exactly does the Qiao family want?

Isn't this making my daughter suffer?

Everyone was talking about it, but no one could figure it out.

"Old Four, what's going on? Why did the Qiao family agree to this?" someone asked Zhao Old Four.

Zhao Laosi also shook his head: "You ask me, then who should I ask?"

It seems that even Zhao Laosi was confused.

"Do you remember what happened earlier? Jian'er sold all the rice at home, saying he would buy it back when he needed it."

"I thought she had some considerations, but now the Qiao family has done something stupid again. Is their family going downhill?"

Shen family.

Liu burst into laughter. "Your eyes are so high that you refuse to marry our Shen Liang. You thought you'd marry into a good family, but you've ended up marrying a fatherless and motherless man. He has no future and no land. Is this just a way to end up starving?"

The Shen family felt that after letting out the anger in their hearts, they felt much better.

Boss Shen pondered: "That girl was engaged to our Shen Liang. She must have come to Mu Xinghe because no one wanted her."

"That's right. The Qiao family didn't say it publicly, but they must have secretly looked at many families. No one was willing to marry Qiao Xier, so they had to settle for second best."

Tao said sarcastically, "What family wouldn't be offended if a girl who's engaged once fell in love with another man?"

"Great! The Qiao family has pushed Qiao Xier into a fire pit. Let's just wait and see how that girl will suffer for the rest of her life."

The villagers were talking about it, but everything was normal for the Qiao family.

Three days later, Qiao Dayong came back.

He can now move like a normal person, but he has to move more slowly and leisurely.

Seeing that the whole family was finally together at home, Old Mrs. Qiao felt that it was really hard to get the money from escorting.

When Dayong heard that his younger sister had also got engaged, and that she was with Mu Xinghe, who had already passed the imperial examination, Dayong also felt that this was a good marriage.

"Next, it's time to reach Dacheng." Dayong said with a smile.

"Finish your business first. You still need a few more days to recuperate. By then, the house will be almost completed. You, your father, and your fourth uncle can go to Lingjia Village to set a date for the wedding." Feng said.

"That girl must have come to see you again these days."

"Yes, I go there every day and bring me meat porridge."

Suddenly, there were sounds of gongs and drums outside the village, and everyone in the village came out to watch.

Then a team of yamen runners came into the village. They were wearing red and black uniforms, and the mallets used to beat the gongs were tied with red cloth. It seemed that they were here to announce good news.

"What's going on? Who's having a happy event?" Everyone asked, but no one had an answer.

The yamen runners went all the way to the south of the village, and everyone followed them, and more and more people followed.
