Ma Shan poked Zhou Banxia's side of the pear with a finger in a funny manner. Seeing Zhou Banxia looking at the sky speechlessly, she laughed out loud with joy.
Zhou Banxia secretly thought that she was lucky, thinking that Aunt Ma probably didn't tell her precious daughter about fighting for a book for her eldest son as she had guessed.
If it were said, the sister-in-law would not have time to gossip about the marriage of the three girls. The first thing she would have mentioned would be her elder brother's "big deal".
"...When Mom first said this, I thought it was because someone else in my eldest sister-in-law's family was trying to get my eldest daughter to come to your mother's house for matchmaking."
impossible.
It was impossible for Aunt Gu to play matchmaker when her parents had already spread rumors that it was not advisable for their children to get engaged early.
Especially since Dajiang was still a fourteen-year-old junior. It wasn't because she was snobbish, but Uncle Gu's family didn't have any nieces who were worthy of Dajiang.
What's more, Aunt Gu is not uninterested. She knows that her two younger brothers are aiming to take the imperial examination, so how could she wait until today to come to the door to match matchmaking for outsiders.
"My mother said that auntie and old aunt have almost the same meaning. Only then did I know that auntie came here for San Niu. I just don't know which one. Mother was so stunned that she didn't say anything."
For sure.
The third uncle and the third aunt have already made a verbal agreement with Uncle Chang Gen and his wife. They are just waiting for Uncle Chang Gen and his wife to come to hire this month. It is impossible for one girl to promise both families.
It has nothing to do with whether my aunt is a matchmaker for her niece to gain more face. The marriage is 100% impossible to arrange. With my mother's character, how could she tell who this family is?
"I also asked who the son was, and my mother just said he was a relative, but she told me that he came from a good family. Our old lady was attracted by Erniu.
Think about it, the uncle and his wife originally wanted to marry Erniu to Erbo Zhao’s old son’s family. How could the old lady not know that her eldest son wanted to find Erniu a good family in the city?
Even the old lady felt that it was a pity that this family did not have the second girl in the photo. I thought that if this family changed to the second girl in the photo, the uncle would definitely agree.
It makes the old lady think that her eldest son will agree, but the family's financial situation is not as good as that of Uncle Zhao's family, nor is it inferior to that of ordinary people in the city.
That's why the old lady was tempted, and it's a pity. It's a pity that the old lady said it in front of our mother, and the aunt didn't pay attention to her. It's probably no chance.
Otherwise, they are all nieces. How could the aunt not think about Erniu? Speaking of which, it is very strange. If you ask me, the third girl is not much better than the second girl.
In terms of appearance, Er Niu is no worse than Third Niu. What’s more, the uncle is still a child, and Er Niu’s natal brothers are older. Why is it that not only the aunt’s natal family but also the eldest aunt’s relatives are eyeing San Niu? ”
After waiting quietly for Ma Shan's words, Zhou Banxia finally understood the reason why Aunt Gu came to visit yesterday. Of course, the answer was very close to what Gu Wenxuan expected.
There is not one hundred points, but there are also ninety points.
But when it comes to comparing Er Niu and Bi San Niu, what should we say? Zhou Banxia thought for a while, "It should be that the eldest uncle is too blind.
I heard that the eldest uncle mentioned a few years ago that she was just such a girl, and she wanted to find someone who was a scholar. Maybe that was the reason.
I wonder if I have misunderstood, but the son of the man who fell in love with San Niu seems not to be a scholar. Being able to write and do math is two different things from being a scholar.
When most people hear this, they are somewhat self-aware, and they probably won't pay attention to Erniu. Like the old aunt, she doesn't dare to go to her uncle's house to propose marriage for her natal nephew. ”
It would have been better if Zhou Banxia didn't say this last sentence. As soon as he said it, Ma Shan fell down laughing. Why is this old aunt afraid to go to her uncle's house to propose marriage for her maternal nephew?
It was obvious that the eldest uncle was competing with the third aunt for her son-in-law, but the third uncle's family was not willing to get married, so the second girl now went to stay in a shop in the city to avoid suspicion.
Even though Ma Shan knew in her heart that Zhou Banxia would not say bad words to hurt others on weekdays, just like now she was covering up the shame of Oda out of good intentions, which made her very happy.
It’s so ridiculous!
"You, what a mouth!" Ma Shan managed to hold back her laughter, "My aunt owes you a lot. Not only does she owe you forty taels of silver, it's almost the end of the year and she still hasn't paid back half a copper—"
< br>
"Shh~"
"I know, why don't you say that it's better not to even mention the forty taels of silver? It would be bad for your parents to hear it, as if you blame them for lending the money and not getting it back.
What are you afraid of? We are the only two sisters here. Even if Mai Huang and the others heard it outside, they could still run to inform my mother. Look at how timid you are. ”
It's not that you're timid, there's no need for it. Forty taels of silver is a lot more, and you can buy half of the shop in the long house, but if you say it's less, it's also very little.
The young couple, including their eldest son Gu Dalang, don't even dare to borrow another sum of money for turnover, right?
If she really wanted to borrow and repay, she couldn't be the only one who owed forty taels of silver. Who in this family could escape? Wasn't the eldest brother borrowed three taels of silver by his third cousin and never paid it back?
Ma Shan did not deny that what Zhou Banxia said was very reasonable. Her parents said that the eldest husband and wife were greedy and stupid, and thought they were the same as before the separation.
Didn't they all think that they had the old man as their backer, and they didn't borrow it from Sanya? They were not afraid that if Sanya wanted it, her father-in-law and mother-in-law wouldn't help them.
Just like her father said, they all looked down on Sanya too much, and maybe they wanted to take the opportunity to make Sanya feel uncomfortable and not want to see her parents-in-law.
Dudu didn't expect Sanya to be so grand and smart, so he didn't even mention it, but it made his father-in-law even more afraid that Sanya would be plotted by someone.
Ma Shan didn't pay attention to what she said, which made Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, "In the same way, our father is always afraid that you will suffer a loss.
You see, dad doesn’t like to see the hall’s sister-in-law. Ever since the hall’s sister-in-law instigated our relationship in front of me, dad has said that our tiger girl is sincere and sincere, but she has a short temper.
She won't do anything if no one provokes her. If anyone stirs up trouble behind Hu Niu's back, don't blame me for being defensive. You deserve to be beaten half to death by my Hu Niu one day.
Listen, what are these words? They were told to the eldest uncle and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of the old man and the old lady. Our father-in-law really regards us as his biological daughters. ”
"Dad, he is very good." Ma Shan nodded firmly without thinking too much, "Mom is also very good. When she first knew that I wanted to come over, she told me to just play with me.
If it were the eldest uncle, the grandson would watch by herself, and she would ask her daughter-in-law to just play with her, and it would be strange if she didn't scold him to death. She seems to be partial to the elder man's wife. It would be strange to leave the elder man's wife free to do her own business.
It was because the eldest son's wife kept asking her what she had to do, so she took over her eldest grandson. By the time the eldest grandson is hungry and crying, no matter whether she is the eldest daughter-in-law or not, she will already be impatient.
Not only did she scold her, but she would also talk about how good she was as a mother-in-law and why she didn't look like a daughter-in-law. Once, he was caught by the elder man's wife, who was so angry that she took the child back to her parents' home. ”
"The old lady won't punish her?"
"Punishment, why don't you punish me, just for show." (End of Chapter)
