Farming and reading family

He Tangchun was tortured and interrogated under various methods before he was able to extract some useful information. Although the information Gao E asked about was not important, it was what she needed.

Moreover, it only took one night, without any torture, and the truth was revealed.

"Then why didn't you ask her how she found out through interrogation?" Chang Zhinan was puzzled.

"This makes me seem inferior to her." He Tangchun rode away.

He originally wanted to stay at Chen's house for lunch and take some pickled bamboo shoots back with him, but Gao E's words gave him an idea to introduce population to He County, so he hurried back.

After He Tangchun left, everything went well for the Chen family. Although Chen Ke didn't tell anyone about this, he felt much more relaxed when walking.

"Tomorrow Peng Can will ask a matchmaker to come and ask for the betrothal gift. Big brother, get up early and go to He County to pick up my parents before the city gate opens, and buy some snacks and other things." Gao E assigned tasks for tomorrow.

Chen Qing nodded: "I'll go."

"Although we are all very familiar with Peng Can, I also plan to set up two tables at home and invite the elderly people in the village to come and have some fun," Gao E suggested.

"It's my duty." Chen Ke agreed. "Brother, buy two more jars of wine."

"Just say that Peng Can bought it." Lei reminded hurriedly.

Chen Qing thought about his parents' reaction when they saw him buying so many things and smiled bitterly: "Okay."

The family discussed tomorrow's affairs and then went to rest.

But Yang couldn't sleep and kept reminding Yu Ning what to pay attention to tomorrow.

She is a person who easily accepts her fate. Since her daughter must marry Peng Can, she will accept Peng Can as her son-in-law.

Chen Qing drove off before dawn, and the Chen family members also got up one after another, after all, they still had to arrange things in the village.

The two elders of the Chen family now sleep separately. When Chen Qing arrived, Jiang had not yet gotten up, so Chen Fansheng had to wait in the main hall.

He doesn't have the habit of going out for breakfast because he thinks it's too expensive.

But he likes to go out and drink, thinking that's what a man should do.

"What?" Chen Fansheng thought he had misheard. "Yu Ning is marrying Peng Can?"

"Yeah." Chen Qing wasn't surprised by his father's reaction. "Yu Ning was almost kidnapped before, and it was Peng Can who saved her. We should repay his kindness."

"When did it happen?" Chen Fansheng stood up in surprise. "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing happening at home?"

"It was recovered on the same day." Chen Qing said hurriedly.

"What about Yuning..." Chen Fansheng hesitated to speak.

A girl was kidnapped, and her reputation was ruined anyway.

Chen Qing knew what his father wanted to say: "Peng Can is a good guy. I thought that when the time comes, we should let them live in our village. They will definitely not suffer any loss under the watchful eyes of our family."

Chen Fansheng sighed. If it weren't for this, who would be willing to marry their daughter to an orphan? "Since you've decided, let's do it."

In fact, Jiang had woken up a long time ago. When she heard that Yu Ning Na Cai was going to sleep today, she stopped pretending to be asleep. She put on her best clothes and decided to go back and control Peng Can so that he would treat his granddaughter well in the future.

This is the first marriage of the Chen family's child. It has gone through some twists and turns, and everyone wants to make it perfect and have a good start.

When Chen Qing took the two elders home, the house was already busy and everyone had a happy face. Although a few women were not invited, they also came to express their congratulations.

I don’t have anything good to give to Yu Ning now, so I’ll just say a few auspicious words as a token of my appreciation.

Yang was busy running around briskly, and several children went up the hill to wait for the person who wanted to pay the betrothal gift to come.

Not long after Chen Qing came back, Wu came with the matchmaker and Peng Can.

The Gao family had a carriage and hired two people to carry the betrothal gift, a red lacquered and gold-painted box tied with red silk. The people in Baotou Village had not seen such a grand occasion for a long time.

When the box was opened, there were various snacks, fine cloths, and even a pair of silver bracelets.

Not to mention the people in Baotou Village, even the Chen family was surprised.

Peng Can is a man of few assets, so how could he come up with such a good betrothal gift?

This made Jiang, who originally wanted to control Peng Can, call Peng Can "grandson-in-law" and pull him to sit down.

Gao E wanted to laugh when she saw this scene. Fortunately, she asked her brother and sister-in-law to prepare well, otherwise she would not be able to see such a harmonious scene.

Whenever Wu had time, she would come to her elder sister-in-law and whisper, "Look how happy your mother-in-law is."

"She'll definitely be happy with this kind of ceremony," Gao E whispered. "Is ten taels of silver enough?"

"That's enough." Mrs. Wu was certain, "The Chen family is so lucky to have found a son-in-law like Peng Can."

Gao E smiled helplessly, but the Chen family didn't think so. They had no choice but to let Yu Ning marry Peng Can.

Everyone was busy preparing. Peng Can even gave candies to the children who came to watch. Those children were happier than during the Chinese New Year.

At this moment, Lu Erniang appeared at the door of the Chen family: "Excuse me, is Gao here?"

The people in the yard turned their heads to look at Lu Er Niang, and then at Gao E.

However, before Gao E could respond, Jiang jumped up first.

"She's already found her way here, and you still say it has nothing to do with that bitch?" Jiang looked at Chen Fansheng angrily.

Chen Fansheng was also confused. He had never told Lu Erniang that he was from Baotou Village. How did Lu Erniang find this place?

Lu Erniang at the door was also stunned for a moment, feeling that she had come at the wrong time.

"Lu is looking for me." Gao E immediately walked to the front. "Everyone, keep busy."

Everyone looked confused, feeling that this matter was a bit complicated.

"Looking for you?" Jiang Shi was a little relentless. "Why did she look for you?"

Gao E thought that by changing the subject, her mother-in-law would stop there and the matter would be over, but she continued to dig deeper.

"This is my business." Gao E stared at Jiang Shi without trying to explain. "Mother-in-law, just accompany the guests. I'll be back soon."

Jiang felt that Gao E was not giving her face and was about to get angry when she was stopped by Chen Qing.

Chen Qing whispered, "If Mom keeps making a fuss, everyone in the village will know about Dad."

Jiang's face looked uglier than if she had eaten a fly, and she sat down with her back to Chen Fansheng.

Chen Fansheng's face also looked very ugly. Lu Erniang's tavern had been closed down, and he thought it was his wife who was causing the trouble.

Gao E went to the door and left quickly with Lu Er Niang.

"You really know how to pick the right time." Gao E joked.

Lu Erniang was also a little embarrassed: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Gao E said indifferently, "Have you finished your work?"

"Yeah." Lu Erniang was relieved when Gao E said she was fine. "I didn't mean to waste your time."

Gao E had no intention of blaming Lu Er Niang. The two of them had not agreed on a time, and Yu Ning's decision was also made at the last minute.

"You saw the land conditions on both sides when you came here. Mulberry trees can be planted on both sides." Gao E said directly.

Lu Erniang was shocked: "Are they all yours?"

Gao E smiled.

Lu Erniang knew that one should not judge a person by his appearance, but she could not let him be judged like this.

"Do you know how to graft mulberry trees?" Gao E said as she took Lu Er Niang to the place where they grafted mulberry branches.
