The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

When Mu Qiu saw her, there was joy on his pale face.

"Girl, why are you here at my house? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"I do have something to talk to you about." Song Yuntang took her arm and walked into the Mu family's yard. "It's okay to go to the shop later. Your eldest brother is watching over it."

When Cui saw Song Yuntang coming home, she warmly invited her to sit down and went to the kitchen to make tea and brought it over.

"Miss Song, why are you free to come to our place today? Have you had breakfast?"

Song Yuntang took the teacup she handed him with a smile.

"I've eaten." She put the cup aside and looked at Cui. "I came here today mainly for Mu Qiu."

"Miss Song, are you angry that our Mu Qiu was late to the shop today?" Cui said a little embarrassedly. "If Miss Song is angry, we understand, but Mu Qiu really didn't mean it. Miss Song also knows that girls are not feeling well for the first two days after their period."

Song Yuntang asked with a smile, "Am I such a stingy person in my aunt's heart?"

Cui was puzzled.

"Why did that girl come to my house?"

Song Yuntang cleared his throat.

"Well, my mother has entrusted my second brother's lifelong affairs to me. He was born on April 23rd, so he's eighteen this year, two years older than Mu Qiu. I think Mu Qiu is a good girl, and she's at marriageable age, so I wanted to ask Aunt and Mu Qiu for their opinions."

"If you are willing, I will come forward to arrange this marriage today. As for the wedding date, it is no problem for Aunt to keep Mu Qiu for one or two years."

As she spoke, she winked at Tu Shi, who was waiting at the door, indicating that he should move all the things off the mule cart.

"These are the betrothal gifts I gave to Mu Qiu on behalf of my second brother, plus a gift of ten taels of silver and a share of the profits from the restaurant that will soon open in the county town."

Before, the Huang family compensated Song Jinsheng with thirty taels of silver, but she only gave Song Jinsheng ten taels. She also planned the remaining twenty taels. She gave ten taels to Cui as a betrothal gift, and invested the other ten taels in the restaurant in the town. This way, her second brother would get dividends every month, and the couple would have a better life after getting married.

As for the money used for the betrothal gift today, it was all contributed by her own pocket.

Song Jinsheng treated her well and gave her some money, and she was happy to do so.

The voice changed.

"Of course, I won't force you, aunt. If you don't want to, I'll find another girl for my second brother. Don't feel forced, aunt. Even if you don't agree, I won't have any objections."

Cui was so stunned by the pie that fell from the sky that she was almost dazed.

A betrothal gift of ten taels of silver, plus a 10% dividend from the county restaurant.

Not to mention that the betrothal gift is not low in the town, even if it is only 10% of the dividend from the county restaurant, it will still be a lot of money!

She had seen Song Jinsheng many times. He was handsome, hardworking, honest, and had no ulterior motives. He was also gentle to others. Once her daughter married him, she would live a good life with him.

She had never dared to imagine such a good thing before.

I just don't know what my daughter is thinking.

Cui suppressed the excitement in her heart and looked at Mu Qiu beside her.

"Qiu'er, this is your lifelong event. You've had contact with Jinsheng quite a few times. What do you think?"

Mu Qiu's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head.

"It's up to the mother to decide, as long as the parents decide and the matchmaker says so."

Known daughter Moruomu.

Cui is an experienced person. Looking at her expression, what is there that she doesn't understand?

No wonder Miss Song came to our door.

It turns out that they have seen everything clearly and want to make this a good thing.

Cui looked at Song Yuntang with a smile.

"Since Mu Qiu doesn't object, I naturally agree. My family and I have all met Jinsheng and know him well. I feel at ease leaving Mu Qiu with him."

Song Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief and took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his purse.

"This is ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift. Aunt, take it. I have to go to the county town in a couple of days. Because I was short on time, I came to propose marriage on a whim, so I didn't ask for a matchmaker. I hope you won't be so reserved. When my second brother and Mu Qiu get married, we will complete the necessary ceremonies."

Cui said hurriedly, "Inviting a matchmaker is just a formality. We don't mind."

Song Yuntang nodded, "Then let's finalize this marriage."

Cui was beaming with joy.

"The betrothal gifts have been received, so it's naturally settled."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Song Yuntang was about to go out, and she looked at Mu Qiu.

"Want to join us?"

Before Mu Qiu could respond, Cui Shi hurriedly pushed her out of the courtyard and said, "Since you're not feeling well, take Miss Song's mule cart and chat with her on the way."

After getting on the mule cart, Mu Qiu looked a little embarrassed.

She looked in Song Yuntang's direction, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Song Yuntang seemed to have noticed something.

"Want to ask me something?"

"Miss Song, does Brother Jinsheng know about what happened today?" Mu Qiu asked in a low voice.

Song Yuntang smiled.

"Now that the marriage is settled, as my future sister-in-law, you should just call me by my name." She shook her head helplessly. "My second brother is a blockhead. I've been deliberately creating opportunities for you two to get along these days, but he won't wake up at all. If I don't take action now, by the time you have children running around, he'll probably still be a bachelor."

Mu Qiu was surprised, "He doesn't know about our engagement?"

When mentioning this matter, Song Yuntang sighed.

He told Mu Qiu roughly what they talked about on the way home last night.

"When I was talking to him, I almost mentioned your name, but he didn't even realize that the girl I was talking about was you. If you two really get married in the future, you have to bear with me in this regard. I don't think my second brother is very smart."

Mu Qiu covered his mouth and laughed, but he didn't dare to laugh too loudly. His shoulders were shaking and he felt very uncomfortable holding it back.

Song Yuntang saw this.

"Laugh if you want to. Having a second brother like this is giving me a headache."

Then he said, "Mu Qiu, can you keep this engagement a secret from my second brother? Right now he only knows that I've arranged a marriage for him, but he doesn't know who the other person is. I'm curious when he'll finally come to his senses."

"Won't this cause misunderstanding?" Mu Qiu asked.

Song Yuntang said firmly, "Don't worry, my second brother is such a fool, he will definitely not cause any misunderstandings."

Mu Qiu nodded, "Okay, then I'll ask my mother and eldest brother to talk to them."

Song Yuntang glanced in her direction, grabbed her arm, and took her pulse with his fingertips.

After a moment, she took out a pen and paper and wrote down a prescription.

"After your period is over, take this prescription and take it for seven consecutive days. Your period should be easier next month."

Mu Qiu held the prescription with an unnatural look on his face.

"Tang'er, thank you."
