Farming and reading family

Gao E's question made Matchmaker Yao quickly withdraw her gaze from Lei and look at Gao E with a smile on her face.

"We ordinary people cannot deal with the government." Matchmaker Yao said with a friendly look.

"I'm sorry, but my husband is a scholar who was commended by Lord He. The girls of our Chen family must marry in a formal way." Gao E said this with a hint of threat.

Matchmaker Yao's face suddenly turned a little ugly: "Official matchmaker or not, isn't it just a title? Official matchmaker has too many rules and it's easy for people to miss out on good marriages."

"Only by strictly checking the selection can we select a good family." Gao E said and looked at Yang. "Isn't it, sister-in-law?"

Yang thought of what happened with the Li family before: "What my sister-in-law said is true."

Gao E looked at Matchmaker Yao with a smile: "Although our Chen family is not a wealthy family, our words still carry weight in Baotou Village."

Matchmaker Yao was visibly embarrassed: "Yes, yes, yes, I certainly wouldn't give it to someone who is not presentable."

Yang was even more embarrassed: "Matchmaker Yao just came to chat today, and she hasn't said who the family is."

"I will definitely find her a good family." Matchmaker Yao promised.

Yang was happy to hear this: "Then thank you for your help."

"What are you talking about being so polite? Why hasn't Yu Ning come back yet?" Matchmaker Yao was a little anxious.

"I have sent someone to call him, and he will be back soon." Yang also felt that the time was a bit long.

Gao E put Xiao Wu in the sedan chair, which attracted the attention of Yao the matchmaker again.

"This child is so grown up and so adorable." Matchmaker Yao said as she was about to touch Xiaowu's face.

Xiaowu burst into tears and raised his arms to let his mother hold him, avoiding Matchmaker Yao.

Matchmaker Yao was very embarrassed: "This child is shy."

Gao E looked at Matchmaker Yao with an even more serious expression: "It's getting late. It's not convenient for our village to accommodate guests."

Yang originally wanted Yao the matchmaker to stay at their house for a day, but the gate to Huihu County must have been closed at that time.

But after Gao E said this, she felt it was difficult to ask Matchmaker Yao to stay.

"If I go back now, the city gate will be closed." Yao the matchmaker wanted to stay, "Can I stay at your house for one night?"

"I don't have a place to stay at home." Gao E refused directly. "If you run faster, maybe you can catch up."

Yang was about to speak when she saw Gao E glaring at her, so she had to lower her head.

Matchmaker Yao smiled apologetically, "No one is well off these days. I'll leave now and hurry up to find a good family for our Yuning."

Yang looked at matchmaker Yao with both gratitude and guilt, and sent her away apologetically.

Lei knew that the second sister-in-law was not the kind of person who was unkind, so why would she treat a matchmaker like this? "Second sister-in-law, will this embarrass the eldest sister-in-law?"

"Didn't you notice that she was looking at you just now?" Gao E looked at Lei.

Lei nodded, then realized that she felt uncomfortable when being stared at just now: "Second sister-in-law, I feel strange when you say that. I'm not an unmarried girl."

Gao E glanced at Lei's bulging belly and said, "Our village is so remote, it's strange that a woman like her could find her way here."

Lei thought the same thing and said, "But my sister-in-law is worried about Yu Ning's marriage." As she said that, she pulled a bamboo chair and sat down.

At this time, Chen Yuning came back from outside reluctantly. After hearing what Third Aunt said, she stood at the door and didn't want to go in.

In fact, she was quite happy when the marriage with the Li family fell through, but she felt a little disappointed afterwards.

She is indeed old enough to get married, but she doesn't know what kind of person she will marry. She only knows that she is getting older every year and may not be able to get married.

"Yu Ning is not that old. Sister-in-law can't just think about marrying Yu Ning off." Gao E really thought Yu Ning was not that old.

"My sister-in-law doesn't think so. Yu Ning has been obedient and sensible since she was a child. I think Yu Ning can marry a good man. If Yu Ning has difficulty getting married, Han Yue will probably have an even harder time." Lei sighed.

"She is really obedient, but she doesn't even know right from wrong. Being sensible is just submission. I think Yu Ning is not as good as Han Yue in handling things." Gao E shook her head.

"Ah?" Lei was puzzled.

"Take the last cave fire for example. There were adults and elderly people in the cave, so it took Hanyue and Qing'er to put out the fire together."

Lei thought about it and agreed: "Although Hanyue is noisy, she is decisive when encountering problems."

The two people didn't know that Yu Ning was standing at the door, and they just chatted straightforwardly.

"Why are you standing here?" Yang came back and saw Yu Ning standing at the door.

Chen Yuning was stunned and embarrassed.

Gao E and Lei Shi then realized that Yu Ning was standing at the door. They looked at each other and thought that Yu Ning might have heard what they said.

"I...will wait for my mother to come back." Chen Yuning said in a low voice.

"I called you for a long time but you didn't come back. But you came back after the matchmaker left." Yang was angry. "Look at you, how come you don't care about your own lifelong event at all?"

Chen Yuning lowered his head and said nothing.

Anyway, no matter whether she cares about this matter or not, she can't make the decision on her own.

"Where did my sister-in-law take the person when she was out for so long?" Gao E came to Chen Yuning's rescue.

When Yang heard Gao E ask her, she went into the yard and said, "I sent her down the hill." She pulled a chair and sat down. "Yu Ning is not a child anymore. She is really a worry for me."

Chen Yuning came in from outside, and after hearing what her mother said, she lowered her head and went into the cave.

"That's not right, sister-in-law." Lei said jokingly, "Yu Ning listens to you in everything, but you say Yu Ning makes you worry. Han Yue is independent, but you say Han Yue makes you worry. What kind of person do you want, sister-in-law?"

Yang was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Giving birth to children is a debt. No matter what, it's always a worry."

Gao E laughed: "It's all about having many children and being blessed, how can it be a debt?"

Hearing Gao E say this, Yang's face turned a little unhappy.

Seeing the eldest sister-in-law's reaction, Lei signaled the second sister-in-law to stop talking.

Although the eldest sister-in-law gave birth to four children, she only had one son, unlike the second sister-in-law who gave birth to five sons, so she had a strong position in the Chen family.

Gao E also realized that Yang's understanding of "duozi duofu" refers to sons, so she did not explain it immediately.

Chen Ke didn't come back until dark. He rarely drove the bus, and this trip back and forth made his hands red and swollen and almost broke the skin.

Gao E brought him some cold water to soak in. "Is Mom okay?"

"That's all." Chen Ke said, thinking for a moment, "Mom might be back in the next few days, so please be more tolerant."

Gao E thought this was going to end. "It's fine here, but she can't handle running around like this every day."

Chen Ke sighed. He had no choice. After all, they were his parents. No one could say anything wrong.

"Besides, if mom is not at home every day, it would be easier for dad to go out." Gao E looked at Chen Ke's expression.

"From what dad said, there's really nothing going on between him and that Lu Er Niang. He's just too annoyed by mom's nagging at home, so he wants to go out and get some peace and quiet." Chen Ke explained.

Gao E was curious about what Lu Erniang's purpose was. "By the way, someone came to propose marriage to Yu Ning again today. I don't think it's reliable. I want to go and tell my sister-in-law tomorrow. She is now in He County. If there is a family that knows her well, please find a good one for Yu Ning."
