Farming and reading family

Gao E looked up at Peng Can, who seemed a little embarrassed. In the past, he would be thinking about going down to see the pigs after breakfast, but why was he not in a hurry to go down today?

"Is there something wrong?" Gao E wanted to laugh when she thought about him and Yu Ning.

"Nothing." Peng Can scratched his head. "Uh..."

"If you have nothing else to do, come with me to the city." Gao E said directly, "Sister-in-law is going to arrange a marriage for Yu Ning. You can go to the city to buy some ducklings, gooselings, etc."

Peng Can was stunned for a moment: "Yu Ning proposed to kiss?"

"Yeah." Gao E nodded.

"How come I don't know?" Peng Can was inexplicably nervous.

"Why do you want to know?" Gao E thought that this kid might have some thoughts on his own, but she just didn't notice it.

"I...I have to prepare something new for her wedding." Peng Can said with a smile.

When Chen Yuning heard Peng Can say this in the cave, her tears welled up and then slowly dried up, and she laughed at herself.

"Do you have money?" Gao E joked.

Peng Can thought about it and thought that his shabby yard in the city might be able to sell for some money: "I don't have much, but I can still make some money from it."

"Come on, go and get ready. You will drive the car today." Gao E ordered.

"Okay." Peng Can went to prepare.

Peng Can drove the carriage, and Gao E and Yang sat in the carriage.

"I only heard from my sister-in-law that the Li family is well off. How did matchmaker Ge find our family?" Gao E asked curiously.

"Now, only people from our Baotou Village remain in this area. Matchmaker Ge said that the Li family wants to find a real country girl, so they found our family." Yang was very happy.

"How old is Li's son?" Gao E felt something was wrong.

Yang paused for a moment. She hadn't really asked this question yet. "We'll find out when we get there today."

Gao E looked suspicious.

When they arrived at the city gate, they met matchmaker Ge, who got on the Chen family's carriage and headed for the Li family.

In the carriage, matchmaker Ge praised the second son of the Li family to the highest level. Yang smiled more and more happily, thinking that her daughter could find a better family to make the Song family look bad.

The more Gao E listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Matchmaker Ge kept talking about how good the Li family was, how they had produced a talented scholar, and how much wealth the Li family had in the past.

That means the Li family's son is not very good, not a scholar, and now his family has fallen on hard times.

Then the son of the Li family who is proposing marriage to Yu Ning might be a prodigal son.

Gao E didn't expose it immediately, after all, she had to give face to her sister-in-law.

The carriage went around and around and arrived at the gate of Li's house. Matchmaker Ge got off first. When Gao E saw that it was the back door, she stopped her sister-in-law from getting off.

"Why is it a back door?" Gao E questioned Ge the matchmaker.

Matchmaker Ge smiled apologetically, "We are here to meet each other. If the meeting fails, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our daughter? Going through the back door can avoid trouble."

Gao E said with a cold face: "Our Chen family came to see us openly. Whether it succeeds or not is normal. There is nothing to be ashamed of. But they directly let us go through the back door. Isn't it a disgrace for our daughter to be presentable?"

Yang didn't want to make a fuss at first, but after hearing what her second brother's wife said, she didn't plan to get off the car.

"Oh, this is just a formality. The key is whether the couple can live happily in the future." Matchmaker Ge said and looked at Yang.

She had come into contact with Yang and knew that she was easy to fool.

"No, this is the Li family's attitude." Gao E tilted her head and looked into Ge Matchmaker's eyes. "We are marrying into the Li family, not forcing our daughter into their care."

Matchmaker Ge's expression turned grim: "Since you're here, don't worry about it."

"Don't mention it now that you're here. Even if my daughter from the Chen family is unhappy after marrying into the Li family, we can still take her back." Gao E said domineeringly.

When Yang heard Gao E say this, she nervously grabbed Gao E's arm, thinking that who would dare to say such things when discussing marriage, and besides, how could a married daughter be taken back?

Matchmaker Ge rolled her eyes secretly. She thought that they were just a country farmer, yet they dared to speak so arrogantly. She really didn't know what the Li family saw in them.

"You are Yu Ning's aunt, right? If the Li family hears this, this marriage will probably be ruined." Matchmaker Ge said with a hint of threat.

Yang grabbed Gao'e's arm with some force and was really worried.

"It was the Li family who approached the Chen family, so if it fails, it's the Li family that fails." Gao E stared into Ge the matchmaker's eyes.

There's nothing even happening yet, but they're already trying to intimidate them, as if the Chen family must give their daughter to the Li family.

When Matchmaker Ge heard Gao E say this, she smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll go ask right away." After she said that, she knocked on the door and went in.

When Peng Can saw Matchmaker Ge go in, he immediately walked around the back door of the Li family and looked back and forth twice.

"Is this the in-laws you found for Yu Ning?" Peng Can looked incredulous.

"Do you know this restaurant?" Gao E looked at Peng Can speechlessly.

"Everyone in Hexian knows this." Peng Can almost laughed out loud. "This family has only one son named Li Xiao. He should be thirty years old this year. Three of his wives died before. I heard that they were beaten to death because they couldn't have children."

"In order to appease the anger of my daughter-in-law's family, the Li family sold many properties and lost a lot of money. I guess they don't have much left at home now." Peng Can said mysteriously, "I heard that Li Xiao even gave his daughter-in-law to the former county magistrate to curry favor with him."

Yang's face turned pale when she heard this.

Gao E suddenly realized, no wonder?

"What's the matter with there being a scholar in his family?" Gao E asked suspiciously.

"It's Li Quan." Peng Can didn't care. "They say he's a scholar, more powerful than a merchant." At this point, he suddenly thought of something. "Oh, right, he was the one who asked me to buy the monkey."

Li Quan?

Gao E frowned and thought for a while. Chen Ke had mentioned before that he met Li Quan at a banquet.

Matchmaker Ge went in and told Li Xiao about the Chen family's attitude, and Li Xiao looked disgusted.

"They can come in or not." Li Xiao never thought of marrying a country girl.

That kind of woman is not even worthy of being his bed warmer. I don't know what his cousin meant by asking him to marry a woman like that.

"Did the Chen family really say that?" Li Quan was a little surprised.

"Isn't it? There are only three shabby cave dwellings in the family. I don't know what's so great about them." Matchmaker Ge was so disgusted.

Li Quan thought about it seriously.

He came back this time mainly to deal with the affairs of Pan Yifang and his group.

There was nothing wrong with Pan Yifang and his friends selling live monkeys to Zhiweilou. What they were worried about was that he knew the customers of Zhiweilou, and if he testified at that time, things would be troublesome.

Most of the hunters at the yamen have died of the disease, and Huang Xiaolou has been silenced. Now they are worried that they may have said something they shouldn't have said in Baotou Village.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ke was also implicated. If he contacted Chen Ke for no reason, it would seem too abrupt, so he found such an excuse.

"Cousin?" Li Xiao saw that his cousin had been silent.

This matter was proposed by his cousin, so naturally it depends on his cousin's opinion. After all, his cousin is doing well now, and he still hopes that his cousin will give him more support.
