Translator: 549690339 |

By the time the night had fully settled, Zhuang Ruman still hadn’t returned. Mrs. Song did not dare to start dinner with Zhuang Yuanzhong and Zhuang Qinghe, instead, she waited in the courtyard, frequently looking out of the gate.

Although the moon was bright, there was not a single soul to be seen.

“Why isn’t father home yet, I’m starving to death,” Zhuang Qinghe grumbled, rubbing her empty stomach, she finally couldn’t bear it any longer and reached for a piece of steamed cornbread to eat.

Mrs Song, too, was so hungry that she also grabbed a piece of steamed cornbread to nibble on, but she murmured, “Let’s wait a little longer, he should be back soon.”

“If he comes back and sees you two eating without him, he’s likely to get angry again, if you’re really hungry, just eat some combread, don’t have any soup.” Zhuang Ruman wouldn’t notice if a few pieces of cornbread were missing, but if the soup was reduced, he would instantly realize that they started eating without him.

Mrs. Song had experimented with this many times and found it to be an effective strategy.

“Got it.” Zhuang Qinghe pouted and only nibbled on a steamed cornbread, she didn’t dare touch the cucumbers.

“Mum, what do you think dad went out for, coming back so late.” Zhuang

Yuanzhong asked.

“I have no idea, your father didn’t say.” Mrs. Song shook her head.

“Could it be…” Zhuang Yuanzhong glanced at Zhuang Qinghe, “He couldn t

possibly be arranging sister’s marriage, right?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Zhuang Qinghe’s face suddenly went dark.

Lately, all the marriage proposals that the matchmaker mentioned, Zhuang

Ruman had turned down. Zhuang Qinghe was secretly relieved, thinking that if this didn’t happen, she would still have hope. She was waiting for Zhuang Wencheng to return so she could rush to express her feelings to him and ask him to propose marriage at home as soon as possible, so she could finally have peace of mind.

Zhuang Qinghe planned perfectly and was loathe to hear others brmg up anything that could interfere.

“What nonsense!? If your dad can really settle this marriage for you, that would

be the best thing ever!”

Right after Mrs. Song finished her sentence, Zhuang Ruman walked into the courtyard.

He was drunk, holding a hen in his hand, his face flush with exhilaration.

“Here, keep this chicken locked up, we’ll kill it tomorrow to eat.” said Zhuang Ruman, belching heavily.

“This is a hen, look how good it would be to keep it for laying eggs, it would be such a waste to kill it for food.” After weighing the hen, Mrs. Song said, “Look at its weight, it’s egg-laying time.”

“What shallow thinking!”

Zhuang Ruman sneered, his face full of contempt, “You just care about a few eggs, this chicken will be killed tomorrow!”

“I’m telling you, from now on we won’t need to count our pennies by selling eggs to make a living, let alone eating a few chickens, we will be able to afford pork belly for every meal!”

“My love…” Mrs. Song was startled, and reached out to touch Zhuang Ruman’s forehead, “No, you don’t have a fever…”

“If you don’t have a fever, how can you start talking nonsense? Could you have walked into something unclean on your way back? Hurry up Qinghe, quickly pick a willow branch and get some ash from the stove, so I can sweep it across your father’s back…”

“Stupid woman!”

Zhuang Ruman couldn’t hold back anymore and started to curse, “Your ignorance surpasses everyone else’s, you don’t have a clue yet you keep blabbering on, talking shit, without any knowledge or insight, you’re really an embarrassment!”

“What do you mean nonsense? What’s this about inviting something unclean? All you know is eating and drinking, nothing ever goes right in your hands!” Mrs. Song was scolded until her face turned red, she lowered her head, pulling at her sleeve, not daring to lift her eyes.

Zhuang Ruman couldn’t be bothered to talk to Mrs. Song anymore, he just looked at Zhuang Qinghe, suddenly his face turned to a smile, he casually pulled over a stool to sit, smirking, “Qinghe, this time, daddy has found a good marriage for you!”

“Their family business is tea, their courtyard is so big, much bigger than our house, they have a big tea shop in the county town, and they’re also planning to open a shop in the prefecture.”

“I heard that they have more than ten maids at home alone, for cooking, washing clothes, sweeping the courtyard, serving in the house… even hairstyling. I heard that their setup is even grander than the County Magistrate’s house.”

“When you marry into that family, you will be able to live in luxury, not having to worry about food and clothing. At that time, even a little leftover from them would be more than enough for us to eat and drinkwell throughout the year.” “Really?” Hearing this, Mrs. Song was overjoyed, “In that case, can our Qinghe become the lady of a big household?”

“If that’s the case, will we be able to rebuild our house, may even be able to buy a few maids to serve us?”

“By that time, you can have whatever you want!” Zhuang Ruman glanced at Mrs. Song, his face full of pride, “The groom’s family also said that they will cover all of Yuanren’s expenses for his studies, we won’t have to worry about it at all.”

“This is not just getting relatives by marriage, it’s like getting the God of Wealth!”

“Qinghe, in the next few days, don’t go running around, and don’t go out to work. Stay at home and rest. In a few days, they will send the matchmaker to set a date, this marriage will be rushed, don’t worry too much about formalities, and we’ll get the wedding done before the year ends.”

“A wedding?” In her joy, Mrs. Song was still startled, “Isn’t Qinghe too young this year? Shouldn’t the wedding be held in two years?” “The groom’s family didn’t mention anything, why are you making a fuss?” Zhuang Ruman said impatiently, “Whether the wedding is held early or late, the wedding has to be held eventually. What’s there to be afraid of doing it earlier? There are child marriages as well, it’s not forbidden, it’s hard to find such a good family, even with a lantern!”

“If the groom’s family wants to get the wedding done earlier, then we’ll do it earlier. Once the wedding is done, everything will be settled and there’s no need to keep worrying about it.”

As the old saying goes, ‘more dreams in a long night’, if this is prolonged, who knows if it will change.

Wasn’t it just like what happened with Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui? If they had acted a day earlier to bring these two girls back, they wouldn’t have been able to set up a woman’s household quietly, and their lives would have turned out differently.

So, it’s best to act quickly.

“indeed.” Mrs. Song nodded repeatedly, “You’re so capable, to be able to find such a good marriage proposal for Qinghe.”

After all this, she finally said something sensible.

Zhuang Ruman raised his chin, “Of course, we can also chalk it up to good luck, we just happened to come across this opportunity, also thanks to Qinghe’s good fortune. They were attracted by Qinghe’s birth chart, saying that she will bring luck to her husband!”

“indeed, our Qinghe, at first glance, is full of good fortune, not like those two dead girls who are destined to a lifetime of hardship!”

Mrs. Song was also beaming with pride.
