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

Zhao quickly stood up and asked, "Would you like to sit for a while? How about having a meal before leaving?"

Tian and Fang waved their hands, "No, you have guests here. Let's go back and discuss it. If there's anything, we'll have Matchmaker Zhou pass it on."

Matchmaker Zhou also waved to Zhao, "Go ahead, I'm here to make sure this goes smoothly."

"Okay, take care, then." Zhao Qiao'e escorted the three out of the yard and watched them disappear into the distance before returning to the main hall. She said apologetically, "Mr. Zhuang, I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

He turned and winked in Song Yuntang's direction.

"Tang'er, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pour Mr. Zhuang a cup of tea!"

Song Yuntang pursed his lips and reluctantly went out to pour water.

Zhao Qiao'e smiled along.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhuang, but our Tang'er is used to being spoiled. Please don't mind, sir."

"That's all right." Zhuang Ziang waved his hand and looked towards the courtyard gate. "Auntie, are you proposing a marriage for cousin Tang'er?"

"Yes, Tang'er is already sixteen years old. This family seems easy to get along with. I plan to ask Tang'er's second brother to inquire about it in a couple of days. If there are no problems, her marriage will be arranged as soon as possible." Zhao Qiao'e said with a beaming brow, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with this marriage.

Zhuang Ziang nodded. "That's a good thing. Cousin Tang'er is lucky to have a mother like Auntie who cares for her wholeheartedly."

"Taking care of my children is what I, as a mother, should do." Seeing Song Yuntang entering the main hall with a cup of tea, Zhao Qiao'e hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhuang, please have a drink of water first. We don't have anything good at home, so I hope you won't mind."

"Of course not." Zhuang Ziang took the cup from Song Yuntang's hand, "Thank you."

Song Yuntang didn't say anything. After handing him the tea, he walked away from the two of them, as if he didn't want to join in their conversation.

Zhuang Ziang took a sip of tea and glanced in Song Yuntang's direction. "I haven't seen you in three years. My cousin's personality has changed quite a lot."

Song Yuntang leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest, his expression indifferent, "We've only met a few times before, don't act like you know me so well."

Zhao Qiao'e heard this and quickly shouted, "Tang'er, don't be rude to Mr. Zhuang!"

Zhuang Ziang didn't care. "I didn't really know you before, but I thought you were well-behaved and gentle. Now you look like a little hedgehog."

"Lin Zhaozhao looks quite well-behaved and sensible. Mr. Zhuang, why don't you go find her at the Lin family? She's your cousin. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you."

After saying that, he returned to his room.

The sun was now high in the sky and the weather was getting hotter, so Song Yuntang no longer wanted to run into the mountains.

Zhao Qiao'e looked at Song Yuntang's back, turned around and apologized to Zhuang Ziang.

"Mr. Zhuang, my Tang'er is ignorant. Please don't bother with her."

Zhuang Ziang smiled faintly and shook his head.

"Having a bit of temper isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think it's quite good." In farming families, girls who are more aggressive are less likely to be bullied.

He put down the teacup in his hand and stood up. "It's getting late. I should go back. Goodbye."

"Sir, walk slowly."

After Zhao sent Zhuang Ziang out of the yard, she looked back at Song Yuntang's room.

This was the first time she saw Song Yuntang being so dislikeful to the Lin family, which surprised her a little. She had changed a lot during this period of time. Had she really thought it through and was not planning to return to the Lin family?

"Tang'er, I have finished embroidering a handkerchief. Take a look at it first. If there is no problem, I will embroider it according to this." Zhao Qiao'e walked into Song Yuntang's room with the first handkerchief she embroidered.

Song Yuntang sat up from the bed, picked up the handkerchief embroidered by Zhao Qiao'e and took a look at it.

The handkerchief is square, with neat edges, exquisite embroidery, and just the right color transition. I have to say that Zhao's needlework is really good.

"Okay, just embroider it like this."

Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Song Yuntang's words.

"Okay, with this first handkerchief as a sample, the rest should be easier to embroider."

……

After Zhuang Ziang left the Song family, he rode directly to the Lin family in Cile Town.

Zhuang had been suffering from a headache recently and was so exhausted that she asked her two sons to receive this cousin.

The three brothers sat in the room, and Lin Jingyao poured him a cup of tea.

Zhuang Ziang picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Guess who I met today?"

When the brothers Lin Jingyao and Lin Gengshi heard this question, they were filled with doubts in their eyes.

"Who did you meet?"

Zhuang Ziang put down his teacup and said, "I met my cousin Tang'er in Rongshu Village and visited her home."

Lin Jingyao and Lin Gengshi looked at each other. Lin Gengshi looked at Zhuang Ziang and asked, "Was she particularly happy when you went there?"

Zhuang Ziang shook his head. "It's strange, she just ignored me and said she didn't want to have anything to do with the Lin family anymore."

"Is this true?" Lin Gengshi looked unconvinced.

Zhuang Ziang said calmly, "It doesn't look fake."

Lin Gengshi frowned, "Has she been provoked by something? Or is she trying to get our attention?" Then he said in annoyance, "In the past three years, her methods have become more and more sophisticated. Zhao Zhao doesn't have as many thoughts as her."

"From what I can see, she doesn't seem to be using any tactics," Zhuang Ziang said. "Perhaps it's because they're discussing marriage? After all, you're not her biological brothers. If you continue to be so undisciplined as before, it won't be good for her reputation."

"Discussing marriage?"

Zhuang Ziang hummed, "When I went to the Song family today, the matchmaker had just left with the man's elders. Judging from my cousin's mother's expression, she seemed quite satisfied with this match."

At this moment, Lin Jingyao, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

"She didn't object this time?"

It was only yesterday when he asked Awang to inquire about the affairs of Rongshu Village that he learned that not long ago she had almost lost her life because of her depression over the Huang family's marriage.

When I heard it, my heart skipped a beat.

But she didn't expect that the Song family would arrange another marriage for her so soon.

Zhuang Ziang shook his head. "When I went there, she was very calm. I didn't see her object."

"There's no noise?" Lin Jingyao frowned.

Lin Gengshi said, "Brother, it's a good thing that she doesn't object. It means she is gradually recognizing the reality."

Thinking about the stubbornness and indifference Song Yuntang showed yesterday, Lin Jingyao felt a little uncomfortable.

Is it really a good thing to let her face reality?

"Awang, go find out which family is planning a marriage with the Song family. Check the man's temperament and family background. Be sure to pay attention to every detail."

Awang bowed and said, "Yes."

Zhuang Ziang looked at Lin Jingyao and said, "Since we've let her return to the Song family, the Song family will naturally not be careless in dealing with her affairs. Your hot and cold attitude now will only make her feel caught in a dilemma and lose her composure."

Lin Jingyao said softly, "After all, I've been her big brother for over ten years, how can I really let go of her completely? I have to see her marry into a good family safely before I can finally put my mind at ease."
