In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Several old ladies gathered in front of Shen Qian, talking to each other, their expressions of admiration and envy everywhere. One of the old ladies, when looking at the two cows, couldn't help but reach out and touch the cows twice.

But after seeing one of the cows chewing the grass non-stop with its head down, my hands always felt itchy...

Subconsciously, she moved closer to the cow and slapped it lightly on the face.

There was a sound of "pop", and I felt relieved!

The cow that was slapped was stunned for a moment, and then continued to refuse. Its eyes seemed to be thinking: Why is the force lighter this time?

Jia Zhang looked at the old lady who was reaching out to hit the cow and was about to say something.

My hands kept itching, and I thought to myself: This cow...why is so weird? I just want to slap it.

She averted her gaze, but the cow's constantly moving mouth and twitching eyes were firmly imprinted in her mind and could not be erased.

"Then I'll leave the marriages of my children to my sisters-in-law."

"I'll take the cows home first and settle them down." Shen Qian said goodbye to everyone with a smile.

He never mentioned the incident of slapping himself in the face.

After all...she has personal experience of how much this guy deserves a beating.

But fortunately, he was quite obedient along the way.

Watching Shen Qian and her family leave.

Several old ladies around Jia Zhang sighed with envy:

"I really don't know how Wang Shen's business is managed. They actually saved hundreds of taels of silver!"

"Two cows. When the spring plowing is over, I can rent them out and make a lot of money!"

"No, I remember my mother's family has a granddaughter of the right age, let's see if we can make it work!"

"Hey! Sister-in-law Xiang, run slower, don't fall! What a sin! For the sake of a good marriage, you can't ignore your own health!"

"..."

After returning home, Shen Qian brought thirty copper coins and handed them to Wang Daniu.

Wang Daniu took the money and said goodbye with a smile.

After he left, Shen Qian drove the two cows into the pigpen.

Little Laoqi looked at the two big cows and volunteered to clean the pigpen!

Shen Qian was also happy to have some free time.

"After you finish cleaning up, remember to bring back more grass!" After Shen Qian instructed Xiao Laoqi, she walked towards the kitchen on her own.

He opened the locked cupboard and looked at the ribs left over from yesterday. After a brief thought, he took them all out.

"Miao Miao?"

"Miao Miao!" Shen Qian called out in the kitchen for a while, but no one answered. She thought to herself:

She is going to find her ideal husband again!

The matchmaker is coming to your house soon. Let someone tell you, "Don't you like Lin Jia Sanlang?" I've already picked the date. If they're willing, it'll be after the autumn harvest when they flee famine.

We have to see whether his family is still willing to marry you as agreed when they fled the famine. If they are willing... his family will be robbed by bandits soon after you marry him, and even Lin Sanlang, the man you have been thinking about day and night, will have his leg broken by the bandits. You will suffer a lot then!

My second daughter, don’t blame your mother for being cruel. After all, it was you who sold your mother to a brothel in the first place.

Not long after the stove was lit, the aroma of corn rice filled the air.

The news that her family bought a cow spread like wildfire.

In just half an hour, the whole village knew about it!

After passing by her house and smelling the fragrant meat, I couldn't help but sigh quietly:

"You really underestimated Wang Shen!"

"Who says she isn't? I used to think she was too partial to her eldest son and spent all her money on him. Now it seems that the rumors are wrong!"

"Dozens of acres of land, two cows, wow! I can imagine how lively her house must be after lunch!"

"By the way, where's the second daughter of the Wang Shen family? Their family is so well-off, the Lin family won't refuse her again this time, right?"

"Hush! Don't even mention this. That Lin Wangshi is so arrogant that she wouldn't even look at the Jia landlord family in town."

"..."

Wang Miaomiao, who was returning home from the big locust tree at the south end of the village, frowned when she heard the conversation between the few people.

'Ahem! '

A light cough came from her mouth.

Seeing this, several women turned around one after another.

When they saw Wang Miaomiao, there was no embarrassment on their faces, and they greeted and said goodbye skillfully!

"Aunt Li, my family of more than ten is still waiting for me to go back and cook. I'll go back first!"

"I'm going to the river to wash clothes too."

"Let's talk later!"

Wang Miaomiao watched the group of aunts leave and felt angry.

He gave them a fierce look and walked straight into the house.

Along the way, she had heard a lot of talk about her family buying two adult yellow cattle. After entering the house, she couldn't wait to shout:

"Auntie!"

"Did our family really buy a cow?"

Without waiting for Shen Qian's response.

Xiao Qi ran over from behind the house first and shouted:

"Second sister! Follow me!"

"Niuniu was in the pigpen before!"

"I'll be the one taking care of you from now on~"

Wang Miaomiao looked at Xiaoqi's expression of asserting his sovereignty, feeling a little disgusted: Only you can do the job of serving animals, and you make yourself stink, how can I go to see Lin Sanlang!

Outside the pigpen, Wang Miaomiao took a look from a distance and nodded secretly after confirming that her family had indeed bought two adult yellow cattle.

Shen Qian's voice came from my ear:

"Miaomiao!"

"Come and help with the cooking!"

"I'm coming!" Wang Miaomiao heard Shen Qian's call and responded loudly.

After entering the kitchen, she took the spatula from Shen Qian's hand as usual and stir-fried the meat stewed in the pot.

After yesterday’s processing, Wang Miaomiao processed it again today. She just stir-fried it lightly and the meat ribs were broken up!

Soft and fall-off-the-bone! Definitely tastes better than yesterday!

Just when Wang Miaomiao thought that her mother would leave the kitchen after she took the spatula as usual.

My mother's voice sounded again:

"Miao Miao."

"You are already twenty-two, and an old maid."

"I can't always be treated like a treasure in my mother's hands and not marry out!"

"We have a lot of land at home, and we've even bought two cows. It's time to get your marriage on track."

My mother is urging me to get married! Wang Miaomiao's eyes widened as she listened.

It’s over! The thing I’ve been worrying about is finally happening!

What should I do? Wang Miaomiao was anxious, and countless excuses to refuse her mother to find a husband for her flashed through her mind.

But what A-niang said next made her swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue back into her stomach:

"As for Sanlang of the Lin family, I will ask a matchmaker to help you propose marriage."

"As your mother, I naturally know what you are thinking."

After she finished speaking, Shen Qian's gaze lingered on Wang Miaomiao's face for a moment.

Seeing the twinkling stars in Wang Miaomiao's eyes, he thought to himself: Is this an agreement? But you may agree, but the other party may not agree!

Since ancient times, it has always been men who have asked matchmakers, and it seems rare for women to ask matchmakers.

If the matchmaking fails this time, the reputation of my second daughter will be completely ruined! Thinking of this, Shen Qian was in a very good mood!

"Thank you, mother!" Wang Miaomiao responded readily.

After pushing Shen Qian out of the kitchen, Wang Miaomiao hummed softly while stir-frying the pork ribs.

I feel great!

However, Shen Qian, who had just left the kitchen, felt amused: She had to say thank you even after being sold. How stupid must I have been in my previous life to be deceived by her!

......

"Third brother, come and serve the food!" Wang Miaomiao shouted loudly to Wang Wu, who had just returned and ran to the cowshed to check on the cows.

Outside the pigpen, Wang Wu looked at the cow, who looked like he was about to be slapped. After giving it a light slap on the face, he felt much better.

"coming!"

After the food was served, the family of six sat around the table. Shen Qian only took a quick glance and found that the fourth brother and his wife... were missing again!
