Farming and reading family

Gao E was stunned and didn't know why Peng Can suddenly said that.

"Why?" She looked at Peng Can in confusion.

Peng Can put down his sickle and wiped the sweat off his face: "I can't let Yu Ning be criticized because of me."

Gao E thought these people all had an inexplicable sense of responsibility: "So you care about Yu Ning?"

Peng Can felt that this was strange. Did he care about Yu Ning?

He should care, after all, we have known each other for such a long time.

"Let me ask you this another way. If it wasn't Yu Ning who was kidnapped before, would you risk your life to chase her?" Gao E looked at Peng Can.

"When I was chasing him, I didn't think I would die. I thought that as long as I caught up with him, that would be enough." Peng Can confessed.

At that time, he really thought that all he had to do was catch up.

"Then why did you save Yu Ning when you knew there was danger?" Gao E felt tired.

"Anyone would save him, right?" Peng Can felt that this was what he should do.

"Then I'll be frank. My elder brother wants to marry Yu Ning to you. What do you think?" Gao E felt that she shouldn't beat around the bush with him.

Peng Can was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Sister Gao said.

"But there's something I need to explain to you." Gao E looked at Peng Can's stunned expression and said, "Listen carefully!"

Peng Can finally reacted and nodded hurriedly.

"I originally planned to put you in charge of raising livestock. When the village is built, I will build a place specifically for raising livestock, and your wages will not be reduced." Gao E saw that Peng Can didn't react. "Did you hear that?"

"I heard it, I heard it." Peng Can felt a little dizzy and felt that these things were not real.

"But if you marry Yuning, people will say that you have all these because of Yuning." Gao E looked at Peng Can, who was still like a fool. "Do you understand?"

Peng Can nodded hurriedly, then shook his head.

Gao E looked at Peng Can's reaction and thought that he and Yu Ning were really a perfect match. He looked very smart at other times, but when it came to this matter, he felt that it was none of his business.

"So are you willing to marry Yu Ning?" Gao E was speechless.

Peng Can was actually shy: "Then Yu Ning, are you willing to marry me?"

This is why Gao E is unwilling to ask about such trivial matters. She always talks about it and helplessly says directly: "I am here to propose marriage on behalf of my eldest brother."

Peng Can was stunned for a moment: "Then do I need to prepare a betrothal gift?"

"Let's take the first step first." Gao E was not as patient with Peng Can as she was with Yu Ning.

After a conversation that helped Gao E to cultivate her character, the relationship between Yu Ning and Peng Can was finally settled.

When Gao E returned home, her elder brother was not there. Her elder sister-in-law was already waiting for her in the yard. When she saw her come back, she hurried over to greet her.

"What does Peng Can say?" Yang looked nervous.

She naturally looked down on Peng Can, but when it came to discussing marriage, she was worried that Peng Can would look down on her daughter.

"Didn't my sister-in-law say that it was a blessing for Yu Ning to fall in love with Peng Can? How could he not agree?" Gao E said with a smile.

Yang's face showed some relief. After all, the matter was settled: "Then..."

"Peng Can said that he couldn't let Yu Ning suffer any injustice, so he would go back in the next two days and ask a matchmaker to come in and propose marriage." Gao E comforted.

This made Yang feel a little better. If people knew that it was her family who proposed the marriage, she was worried that others would look down on Yu Ning.

Just like her second brother's wife, although she came from a wealthy family, people had talked about her behind her back because she was the one who took the initiative to propose marriage. But no one has said anything since the flood.

"Once our horoscopes are compatible, we'll pick a good time and then we'll have this event in a grand manner." Gao E said with a smile.

Only then did Yang smile happily. If this matter could be handled successfully, it would also bring honor to the Chen family.

The matter was settled, but Gao E still had to take care of Peng Can.

The next day, Gao E took Peng Can to He County to find Wu and asked Wu to help take care of Peng Can's affairs.

In fact, Gao E didn't know much about the three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts. When the original owner got married, it was the elders in the family who took care of it.

Mrs. Wu was more knowledgeable about this. Over the years since she married into the Gao family, she had often helped the villagers arrange marriages.

"I'll take care of finding a matchmaker to propose marriage, as for how to prepare the betrothal gift?" Mrs. Wu said, glancing at Peng Can.

The boy looks good, but he looks a bit silly.

"According to the standard of ten taels." Gao E said directly.

"Ten taels?" Wu looked at Peng Can again and thought that her elder sister-in-law was too nice to this silly boy.

You have to know that ordinary families in the village would spend at most three or five taels of silver to marry a wife, and they would not go through the process of three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts. Now they have to pay ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and the subsequent betrothal gift will be no less than that.

"She is my own niece. Let her enjoy some glory. In the future, the young couple will have some assets and their lives will be better." Gao E didn't care.

Mrs. Wu nodded: "Yu Ning is so lucky to have an aunt like you."

The two discussed some details and decided that Peng Can would stay in He County for the next two days to clean up his house, and then they would go back to He County with Na Cai.

After having lunch at Gao's house at noon, Gao E and Wu discussed the details of opening a pickled vegetable shop. The shop had to be decorated first, and it could be opened directly when the pickled vegetables were available.

After finishing her work, Gao E bought some snacks and went home.

After this matter was settled, Yang became much more energetic and cleaned up the house inside and out, fearing that she would lose face if the matchmaker came to visit.

It can be said that Yang is a good worker. No matter whether it is housework or farm work, she is always hardworking and does her work meticulously.

"Do you think we should invite our parents back that day?" Yang asked Gao E.

"Of course we have to." Gao E wondered what her sister-in-law was thinking.

Even if the two elders of the Chen family are unreliable, how can they be absent at this time? Even if it is just a formality to coax them, they have to be allowed to come back.

Yang was relieved to hear Gao E say this. She also thought that the invitation must be given, but she could not make the decision and had to get Gao E's approval.

The only problem these two days was feeding the livestock at home. Peng Can had done all of this before, and he had never said anything. He had fed the pigs, cows, and sheep well, and even prepared the fodder for the three horses.

As soon as he left, the Chen family realized that they already had so many livestock at home. It took three or four people just to feed and prepare fodder for them. The hungry pigs jumped out of the pigsty and almost destroyed the crops.

Only then did they realize how capable Peng Can was. Although he seemed to be taking his time, he actually did a lot of work.

As a result, Peng Can's reputation improved all of a sudden, and everyone thought that Peng Can was a good guy.

Chen Yuning was also very happy to hear this. Everyone hopes that the person they marry will be recognized by others.

"Look how happy you are." Luo Qing'er looked at Chen Yuning and smiled secretly, "But once you get married, I will be the only one left."

"And Hanyue." Chen Yuning lowered her head with a smile in her eyes.

"Han Yue?" Luo Qing'er liked Han Yue very much, but Han Yue didn't seem to like her very much. Her attitude towards her only changed after the fire in the cave last time.
