Grandma Xiangxing also realized that she had said something wrong, but it was impossible to apologize. She even said adamantly: "Look, you didn't even see it. How could you conclude that Mr. Fang is sick just by listening to a few words?" One is that people are jealous that our family is involved in such a marriage, and they want to disturb her by marrying her daughter into the Fang family?"

Shen Guihua simply didn't know how to argue with the old lady, and said forcefully: "We saw with our own eyes that Mr. Fang was flirting with a slave girl on the street. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. My daughter can't go into the fire pit. Push."

"Hey, how can a man not cheat? Even if he doesn't marry Mr. Fang, the men he marries in the future will not go to that kind of place? It is common for rich families to have three wives and four concubines, why can't they think about it?"

Shen Guihua stopped paying attention to her. Grandma Xiang Xing wanted to say something else. When she saw Lin Xiaoman standing at the door of the courtyard, she felt a little embarrassed and said, "Xiao Man is here. Are you here to see Xiang Xing?"

Lin Xiaoman said 'hmm', "My family has recently opened a business in the city and has been a little busy. I want to ask Auntie Guihua and Xiangxing because I don't have time."

When Grandma Xiangxing heard that she had a job for the two of them, she immediately beamed and said, "Boss and wife, Xiangxing, Xiaoman is looking for you."

As early as when she heard the old lady calling Lin Xiaoman, Shen Guihua walked out. At this time, she just opened the door and came out, "Xiaoman, come and sit in my aunt's room."

After saying that, he picked up Lin Xiaoman and walked into the house without even looking at the old lady. The old lady muttered something behind her. Lin Xiaoman didn't hear it clearly because the voice was too loud, but she didn't think it was a good thing.

In the room, Lin Xiangxing was sitting by the bed, holding an embroidery stand in her hand, but her mind was not on the embroidery at all. Seeing Lin Xiaoman come in, she reluctantly smiled at her.

"Xiao Man, sit down and I'll get you some water."

"Aunt Guihua, stop being busy, I just came to see you and have a chat with Xiangxing."

After saying that, he sat down next to Lin Xiangxing, took the embroidery frame in her hand, and gently touched the branch of apricot flower embroidered on it, "Xiang Xing is really good at this embroidery work, unlike me, and I know how to sew and embroider a mandarin duck, and my mother said it looks like a duck attracting plague."

Shen Guihua was amused by her self-mockery, and the resentment she had just argued with her mother-in-law dissipated a lot, "You girl is always funny when you talk. Xiangxing has been depressed about that matter these days. Come over and spend time with her when you are free. , or you can take her to help you."

Lin Xiaoman nodded hurriedly, "What do you mean by Aunt Guihua? I came here today just to ask if you and Xiang Xing are willing to help me."

Before Shen Guihua could speak, the voice of Xiang Xing's grandma came from the window, "Yes, why don't you want to? Xiaoman, your mother and Gui Hua are as good as each other when they were young. You and Xiang Xing also grew up together, so you can't treat them unfairly." I killed them both."

Lin Xiaoman pursed her lips and looked at Shen Guihua. Shen Guihua frowned in disgust, "Mom, let's talk to Xiaoman for a while, so I won't bother you squatting under the window."

"I didn't listen to the window. You were talking so loudly, and others pretended to be deaf?" Grandma Xiangxing muttered, but soon the footsteps moved from under the window to the middle of the yard, but she still didn't intend to leave.< /p>

Shen Guihua helplessly spread her hands towards Lin Xiaoman. Lin Xiaoman shook his head with a smile, and his voice became a little softer, "I thought that the current business is with the clan, but my mother still left us with Several profitable businesses, she said before that after she bought a shop in the city and settled down, she would ask Aunt Guihua and Xiangxing to go to the city to open a shop together so that they could take care of each other, but...well, now I and over there After we separated and settled down in the city, I just want to fulfill my mother's last wish. Aunt Guihua, if you and Xiang Xing are willing, go to the city with me, and I will teach you the livelihood my mother left for you. You."

"Xiaoman, why does your mother care about me so much?"

Thinking of her friendship with Xiao Manniang, Shen Guihua's eyes turned red.

She and Xiao Manniang have been friends since they were young, and they had already agreed to marry in the same place. Xiao Man said that her mother had left a living for her, and she believed it.

But it also made her think of the good things of good sisters again, and she hated Mrs. Lin even more for being so old.

"That's why Aunt Guihua always thinks of us. Erhu and I have suffered a lot at my grandma's house this year. If Aunt Guihua hadn't secretly sent us stuttering food from time to time, would our siblings have survived? It’s hard to say this year.”

Shen Guihua waved her hands in a choked voice, "No more, your mother and Aunt Guihua both know what you are thinking, so just tell her what you want Aunt Guihua to do?"

Lin Xiaoman told him what he had been thinking about for the whole night last night, "Tomorrow, if you have nothing to do, Aunt Guihua will go to my house again. I will make delicious food for you and Xiang Xing. You can decide whether you want to do it or not after you taste it." ”

Shen Guihua looked at Lin Xiangxing and knew that Lin Xiaoman knew that Li Tiezhu's family was coming to propose marriage today. She said it was to provide a living for the mother and daughter, but in fact she wanted to give Xiang Xing a dowry. With this business, she could just go to her husband's family. No matter how poor you are, you can still support a family.

Lin Xiangxing also understood Lin Xiaoman's good intentions, and tears flowed down her face, "Xiaoman, why are you so good?"

Lin Xiaoman hugged her shoulders and said, "Good sisters, if you don't talk about this, Erhu and I have made money, so we can't just watch you live in poverty, right?"

As he was talking, someone outside the hospital asked: "Is this Lin Mancang's house?"

Lin Mancang is the name of Lin Xiangxing's grandfather. Although the old man has passed away, people in the village still like to call him this.

In the yard, Grandma Xiangxing asked: "Who are you looking for?"

The first person to speak laughed, "I am from Liujiazhuang. My surname is Cheng. My husband's surname is Liu. I am a farmer in Liujiazhuang. Others call me Sister-in-law Cheng. I came today to say goodbye to your family. You are the in-laws." Grandma, right? You have such a strong body."

Shen Guihua rushed to the window first and looked out through the window crack. Lin Xiaoman also looked out through the window crack below.

I saw three people standing in front of the courtyard gate. One of them was dressed up and looked like a matchmaker. Isn’t it Li Tiezhu who was following her?

Behind Li Tiezhu was a short, thin, long-faced woman who must be his mother.

There was a smile on the woman's long face, but the smile was full of calculation and disdain. After a pair of small eyes scanned the yard, the corners of her mouth turned to both sides, obviously she was not satisfied with Lin Xiangxing's family. .

Grandma Xiangxing was a little confused by her shouting, "Stop shouting for now, which of my children do you want to marry?"

Sister-in-law Cheng pointed to Li Tiezhu and her son next to her, "That's Li Tiezhu from Liujiazhuang. This is his mother, Sister-in-law Zhao, the wet nurse of the eldest son of Liujiazhuang. Since the two children are in love, entrusting me to be the matchmaker is just a formality." We are meeting the in-laws today, so let’s not be too pretentious. Let’s sit down and finalize the marriage first. Then we can pick a good day to pick up the bride at your house, and your family’s dowry can be prepared.”

Originally, Lin Xiangxing was looking forward to and worried about Li Tiezhu finding someone to propose marriage, but after hearing Sister-in-law Cheng's words, Lin Xiangxing's face turned pale and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

Doesn't this look like he's here to propose marriage? He obviously wants to ruin her reputation, so she has no choice but to get married without giving a bride price!
