Father Zhou and Zhou Yuan’s three elder brothers heard that the matchmaker came to propose marriage, and even though the field was only half cultivated- they didn’t care about the cultivation and immediately picked up their tools and rushed home. Then, their faces were covered with sweat, their palms and trousers were covered with mud, and they went straight into the house.
When Mother Zhou saw it, she immediately wanted to scold them angrily, wishing to train manners into them, but there were guests and the two elders, so she definitely couldn’t train them.
Mrs. Zhou, who can teach people, immediately reprimanded, “What does this look like, go change your clothes before coming back here!”
“Hey, hey, let’s go!”
Father Zhou and Zhou Yuan’s three brothers hurried back to their rooms again, hurriedly put on their cleanest clothes, tidied up, and came out of the room again.
Everyone is now here.
Matchmaker Zhang explained the Wei family’s willingness to marry the Zhou family and offered three taels of silver.
Generally, if you marry a ger from the countryside, you only need two taels, but the two elders of the Wei family think that they are from the county, so they add an extra tael.
The Zhou family didn’t care about the amount of money they were offering, and they were satisfied with a few taels.
With the consent of Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, Wei Cheng, and Zhou Yuan’s marriage was settled in this way.
The two elders in the seat were dissatisfied with the dowry offered by the Wei family, but the son’s family agreed, so they couldn’t intervene.
The Zhou family’s eldest aunt curled her lips in contempt and thought that three taels of silver, which was very shabby.
Look at the youngest brother’s family, she really doesn’t know what they are so happy about, they can smile so happily that they can’t even open their eyes. So what if the person is from the county seat, Wei Cheng was divided by the Wei family, and he didn’t get much at all. Even the house he lived in was very dilapidated. At that time, the youngest brother’s family would regret it.
Aunt Zhou has finally felt at ease since she entered the door!
The date of the next meeting is three days later.
Seeing off Matchmaker Zhang, the Zhou family members were filled with joy and removed their frowns from before.
The family was full of joy, and the three who dared not go home were always in fear.

Zhou Yuan’s three sisters-in-law also complained that the other party didn’t keep the secret and blamed each other for their own faults. They usually get along well but now, the sisters-in-law are almost quarreling.

When the Wei family came to propose marriage, Zhou Yuan’s three sisters-in-law all thought to themselves that their mother-in-law would be happy and would not bother them.
When they went back, Mother Zhou didn’t say anything, and they still smiled as usual, but they didn’t know that Mother Zhou had her own plan in mind, and she saved it for the next time to directly settle the matter.
It’s true that she is a mother-in-law who has a good temper and works hard, but if she doesn’t teach them a lesson, she doesn’t know what troubles will happen in the future.
“Auntie, is Yuan Yuan there?”
Zhou Qiu went to find Zhou Muzi to come here together, originally intending to comfort Zhou Yuan, but when they found out that the Wei family had come to propose marriage, they exchanged comfort for congratulations, and they were happy for their friend.
“Xiao-Qiu and Muzi, come and see Zhou Yuan. He is in the room, so go in by yourself. Auntie will bring you a bowl of sugar water later. Stay for a light meal tonight before going back.”
Mother Zhou is really happy, wandering here and there, meeting acquaintances who come to say congratulations, they are all enthusiastic to let people in to drink a bowl of sugar water, her sons and daughters-in-law are instructed to go to the kitchen to boil water to make sugar water, and Father Zhou is instructed to go back to the room to get some of the leftover candies from Wei Cheng’s purchase last time- they were distributed to the grandchildren.
Zhou Yuan looked at the pastry box in the room and was slightly absent-minded, the joy in his eyes could not be hidden.
He didn’t notice when his friends, Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi, came from behind, it was Zhou Qiu who couldn’t help laughing and Zhou Yuan turned around.
“Why are you here!?” Zhou Yuan’s eyes revealed his surprise.
“Yuanyuan, Muzi and I congratulate you.” Zhou Qiu said happily.
“Yuan Yuan, we were very worried before we came. Fortunately, when we heard at the door that the Wei family had come to propose marriage, Qiuqiu and I were relieved. Now we are happy for you.” Zhou Qiu looked unhappy when he came to look for him. He was startled, and after hearing Zhou Qiu’s words, he was even more worried. Fortunately, the Wei family came to propose marriage, and this was a way to stop those vicious rumors.
“What are you talking about?” Zhou Yuan chuckled.
Zhou Yuan is still unaware of the rumors outside.
“We are congratulating you!” The two said loudly at the same time.
“….”
The three looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Enough laughing, arm in arm- they started talking about the matters going on around their lives.
Later on, his nephew Shitou went in with four bowls of sugar water. Zhou Yuan remembered the three boxes of pastries that Wei Cheng had given him. He shared the cake with his friends.
Zhou Qiu recognized the signboard of Baixiangzhai in the county, and her elder brother even bought her a pastry once, which was the first time she had eaten such a delicious pastry since she had been born.
“Yuanyuan, this is the most famous pastry shop in the county. The pastries of Baixiangzhai’s are not only delicious but also not cheap. A small piece costs more than ten wen.” That Wei Cheng is really willing to part with his money!
“So expensive!” Zhou Yuan exclaimed.
Zhou Muzi held a piece of pastry in his hand, and when he heard Zhou Qiu’s words, his mouth was still open, and he… he didn’t dare to eat it.
This, this is made of silver!!
“Well, my elder brother bought it once, and I only know the price.”
Zhou Qiu was envious, “Yuanyuan, Wei Cheng really cares about you. He bought you such expensive pastries. I want to find someone who treats me so well.”
Zhou Yuan was in a daze, he was shocked by the exorbitant price of the cakes Wei Cheng bought, but he couldn’t help worrying that Wei Cheng must have spent a lot of money to buy such expensive cakes, but it was overpowered because of the sweetness in his heart as he ate.
Zhou Yuan returned to his senses, smiling sweetly, “Qiuqiu will definitely find someone who is caring to you.”
Zhou Qiu’s eyes widened, and he jumped in front of Zhou Yuan in surprise, “Yuan Yuan, your face is so rosy, and you are so beautiful when you smile! You are shining all over now, I am dumbfounded, no wonder Wei Cheng likes you .”
“Yuan Yuan, you look good when you smile.” Zhou Muzi didn’t know how to describe it. He often saw Yuan Yuan smile, but this time, he felt different, and he couldn’t tell what was different but he looks great!
Zhou Yuan’s sweet and soft smile made his face, which was originally blushing because of Wei Cheng’s thoughtfulness, more pink and charming, his demeanor was soft and beautiful, like a breeze, his bright black eyes were softer and brighter, and his slender body stood tall, what a good look.
If Wei Cheng was here, he would definitely stick to him physically and mentally. He was originally attracted by Zhou Yuan’s bright eyes and soft temperament.
Zhou Yuan was usually ignored. It was rumored that he was an ugly ger. First, it had something to do with his height. He was indeed much taller than the petite guy. The second is that he doesn’t pay attention to dressing up. Most of his walks in the village are related to work. The state of him working in is basically him in old clothes and messy hair.
In addition, he walked under the sun every day, and his fair skin would turn yellowish.
Recently, because of his bad mood at home, he was asked to stay at home more, and he seldom went out to bask in the sun, and his yellowish skin became fair again.
The beauty of Zhou Yuan is like a piece of rough jade, only when it is dug, will it be revealed in detail.
As for the pastries that Zhou Yuan asked his nephew Shitou to take out, Mother Zhou didn’t let her three daughters-in-law get any crumbs. Mother Zhou gave them a look so they can only be greedy in their hearts.
Father Zhou was holding the red bean cakes, his tired, sallow, and wrinkled face was smiling even more, he was full of energy and looked a few years younger.
It was the first time for Zhou Yuan’s three elder brothers to eat such delicate cakes, and they all savored them carefully, reluctant to eat them in one bite.
The young ones of the Zhou family are happy when they eat something, and they want to show it off to their friends, but Mother Zhou ordered them not to go out, this pastry is too eye-catching.
After dividing the cakes, there were still a few pieces of red bean cakes left, which Mother Zhou planned to keep for entertaining the in-laws on the day when the Wei family came to hire.
The Zhou family didn’t have anything they could sell. Although Wei Cheng bought the red bean cakes, she wouldn’t think it was inappropriate to entertain the Wei family. At least there were things she could give.
Three days later, the betrothal gift will be issued, and Mother Zhou is still busy notifying relatives to come to the door.
Thinking of her natal family, Mother Zhou frowned, as she still needed to have someone go to inform her that her natal family was far away, in the next town, and she was not sure if her natal family would come or not.
The relatives of the Zhou family, the two elders all know that Zhou Yuan’s second uncle also lives in the next town, and they will notify them together since they are too far away. His eldest uncle’s house is in the same village, so they can just go and talk.
As for the other uncles, and elders of the Zhou family, she couldn’t afford to invite them.
Furthermore, the two elders of the Zhou family invited too many, which seemed too ostentatious, and it was not good for her ger!
Human relationships are full of twists and turns, and Mother Zhou knows how to measure!
The marriage is set! >< I hope you find a good person too Zhou Qiu!
The big day is almost here!
Thank You for the new chapter (ฅ^ω^ฅ)♥
I just hear “Wedding wedding! We gonna have a wedding!” in my head lol
Hmm, Wei Cheng has two unmarried friends and Zhou Yuan also has two unmarried friends.
ooh hoo hoo, actually that’d be cute, but the ger has someone he likes, as for the girl, she’s 16, which I know is of marrying age in this time, but it still feels off to me to have an adult such a young girl.
Thanks for the chapter!
I can wait for the biiiggg day…,
Just started reading, and I like it so far. No extravagant golden fingers, and a nice mother-in-law. 👍.
Thank you
Wei Cheng two brothers is not yet married and I’m shipping them so back off.
