The peasant woman quickly calculated that the entire village had been preparing for a mass exodus th

When Zhao Lianhua saw Old Lady Sun coming, she quickly hid behind Zhao Taohua in fear.

As Grandma Sun approached, Zhao Taohua covered her nose in disgust and reminded her:

"Grandma, please go home and change your pants!"

Grandma Sun gave an embarrassed smile; she had almost been scared to death just now, having wet her pants in front of so many people.

However, she was already in her fifties, and this wasn't the first time she'd lost face in Zhao Family Village, so she replied without batting an eye:

"Okay, Grandma will go back and change her pants now. Thank you for reminding me, Peach Blossom."

"Peach Blossom, your new dress looks beautiful on you, it suits you so well."

After saying that, Grandma Sun walked home.

Zhou Feng quickly followed up: "Grandma, shall we just forget about Master Li's forty taels?"

Grandma Sun turned around, resisting the urge to pat Zhao Feng's head, and said:

"My dear grandson, our family will soon earn fifty-seven taels of silver. With that money, you can marry Zhang Caixia in a little while longer."

Don't ever do something as despicable as selling your sister again!

The fear of hanging precariously at the cave entrance still lingers in Grandma Sun's mind.

Now, she believed Zhao Taohua's words without a doubt. She discovered that whenever she had an evil thought or did something bad, she would be unlucky.

I almost died this time!

Although she is over fifty years old, she hasn't lived enough yet. She must not do evil in the future and must be a good person.

Zhao Feng stood there dejectedly.

When everyone heard Grandma Sun praising Zhao Taohua's new clothes, they finally noticed that Zhao Taohua's light pink dress was indeed beautiful.

After changing out of her tattered clothes, she looked like a pearl that had been wiped clean of dust.

Zhao Lianhua was close to her and could tell at a glance that it was made of linen. A foot of linen cost ten coins, which was much more expensive than coarse cloth.

But Zhao Taohua can make money by exorcising evil spirits and selling amulets. She also has menstrual spirits and argumentative people helping her make money, so it's normal that she has money to buy new cloth to make clothes.

Thinking about it, Zhao Lianhua looked at Zhao Taohua with envy.

On the other hand, she was completely incompetent and ruined her reputation, losing her marriage and making it so that no one dared to marry her anymore!

These days, Peach Blossom's reputation in the village is getting better and better. Now, just by changing into a new dress, she has attracted the attention of some young men in the crowd.

Grandma Feng, Aunt Zheng, and others praised Zhao Taohua so much that she was extremely embarrassed.

Aunt Zheng teased Madam Qian, "Hongyan, I bet your doorstep will be worn down by matchmakers next year."

Madam Qian smiled and sighed, "I never imagined that Taohua would be almost of marriageable age in the blink of an eye."

"It'll be soon, just like my Sheng'an, he's already fifteen in the blink of an eye, it's time to find him a wife."

As Qian spoke, she glanced at Zhao Shengan beside her, and in just one glance, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

The way Sheng'an looked at the peach blossoms didn't seem like the way an ordinary older brother next door would look at his younger sister.

At this moment, Zhao Shengan's gaze was fixed on Tao Hua and he couldn't take it off, and the tips of his ears were tinged with a faint blush.

Mingming was not feeling well and looked unwell when Sheng'an returned from town a few days ago, but now he was radiating joy.

Zhao Shengan was her son, and she had never seen Zhao Shengan look at anyone like that before.

No one knows a child better than their mother. Aunt Zheng suddenly realized that Sheng'an liked peach blossoms.

Madam Zheng was secretly delighted. She had always liked Peach Blossom. She had watched her grow up and found her to be of good character. Moreover, she now had the ability to catch spirits. Look, the Zhao family now lived in a brick house!

Madam Qian glanced at Zhao Shengan, whose figure was beginning to stand tall and upright. He was quite sturdy, and beneath his thick eyebrows were a pair of clear and bright almond-shaped eyes that were staring intently at the peach blossoms.

Madam Qian asked, "Yue'e, did your family give birth to a girl from a stable family? Which village is she from?"

Previously, Zheng had asked Matchmaker You to help her look at several potential matches, but Zhao Shengan always said there was no rush, as he was busy slaughtering pigs, so they hadn't made a decision yet.

Zheng was very angry about this, angry that he didn't take marriage seriously. Only now did she understand why Zhao Shengan wasn't in a hurry.

It turns out, he had liked someone for a long time.

Zheng smiled and waved to Qian, "Oh, no rush. My Sheng'an is only fifteen. It's okay to wait another year before getting married."

Zhao Shengan was secretly glancing at Zhao Taohua when he suddenly heard his mother's words and turned his head in surprise.

His mother looked at him with a smile, then subtly glanced at Zhao Taohua beside her.

Instantly, Zhao Shengan's heart skipped a beat. Had his mother found out?

Zheng withdrew her gaze and turned to Zhao Taohua, asking:

"Peach Blossom, tell your aunt what kind of young man you like, and I'll keep an eye out for you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shengan immediately stared nervously at Zhao Taohua, eagerly awaiting her reply.

Since he went to town to learn how to slaughter pigs three years ago, he has rarely seen Peach Blossom Sister.

However, every time he returned to the village, he hoped to meet Peach Blossom Girl and talk to her, or even just watch her walk from afar.

Sure enough, being able to stand so close to Peach Blossom Sister today made his dizzy head feel much clearer.

Zhao Taohua was going crazy. In her eyes, marriage in ancient times was just puppy love. Her body was only fourteen years old this year!

However, now that we've traveled here, we have to adapt to local customs.

Back in the 21st century, she was attracted to 18-year-old boys who were 1.8 meters tall and had eight-pack abs.

The aunts, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers around Zhao Taohua all looked at her, waiting for her answer.

Shen Ming was also standing among them. Hearing Zheng's question, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

She smiled at Mrs. Zheng and casually replied, "Aunt Zheng, I like kind people."

"Kindness is good; it means the person isn't bad and has good character!"

Zheng was very pleased to hear Zhao Taohua's answer.

She believed that her husband, Zhao Shengan, was not a bad person and was kind.

Some young men standing around felt that they were kind people after hearing this, and they felt that they had hope.

Shen Ming didn't expect Zhao Taohua to have such low requirements for the person she liked; she only said one thing: that he must be kind.

However, for some reason, after hearing her words, a subtle smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

When he looked up and saw several other fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boys staring at Zhao Taohua, the smile on his lips immediately froze. It was as if something was stuck in his chest, and his mood became sullen.

Seeing that the pests in the medicinal herb field had been dealt with, everyone went home. All they had to do now was manage and fertilize it properly so they could harvest and sell the produce.

With the pests out of the way, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and left chatting and laughing.

Zhao Shengan had only taken two steps when he suddenly fell backward. Coincidentally, Zhao Taohua was walking right behind him.

"!!!"

In an instant, Zhao Taohua was startled, feeling as if Zhao Shengan was crashing down on her like a small mountain.

Just as she helplessly reached out to catch Zhao Shengan, who was about to fall, a pair of large hands suddenly appeared and caught Zhao Shengan's body first!

Zhao Taohua breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and saw Shen Ming's tall figure standing behind her.

"Thank you, Brother Shen Ming~"

Zhao Taohua smiled and thanked Shen Ming.

Shen Ming had a cold expression on his face. He only glanced at Zhao Taohua before looking away.

What happened to Zhao Shengan?

"Why did Sheng'an faint?"

The incident happened so suddenly that when Shen Ming helped the person up, everyone reacted and exclaimed in surprise.
