Chapter 227 What's So Good About This Kid
After hearing Sun's questioning, the Lu family and Juhua's family hurriedly said goodbye. Then it was Wang Liang's turn, then Yanzhi, and finally Wang Bin.
Wang Sheng was holding his son Shitou and watching the fun. Wen Niang was praised again and again today. The family of three could be said to be in high spirits.
Wang Qingqing sat in the corner feeling a little disappointed because Sun didn't mention her. Although she didn't want to get married so early, she still felt disappointed to be ignored.
"Qingqing, you are 16 this year, right? You are alone now, and there is no elder to worry about you. I would like to ask you one more question: do you have any thoughts on getting married?"
After all, Mrs. Sun had not forgotten this poor girl. Wang Qingqing looked at the kind old man, her eyes sore and she lowered her head.
"If people knew my background, they might despise me. I live with everyone now, and I feel very good about it. If I get married, I don't know what it will be like. Grandma, I haven't thought about it yet. But I am willing to get married."
Wang Qingqing followed Su He in calling "Grandma". She actually liked Sun and Zheng very much. Sometimes she thought it would be great if her own grandma could be so nice. Unfortunately, her grandma was a mean old lady who favored boys over girls and was obsessed with money.
"You are from Tianyuan Village. It is not shameful to be born an orphan. You don't have to worry."
Sun came over and patted the back of Wang Qingqing's hand. This was a reminder that they would not reveal Wang Qingqing's true identity to anyone.
"Qingqing, do you want to find a scholar?"
Zhou asked curiously. They all knew that Wang Qingqing was wealthy, so it would be a pity for her to marry a peasant. She should at least marry a wealthy man.
"That's not the case. I can only read a few words myself. I don't dislike farmers, but I'm afraid that I'm too straightforward and might offend my parents-in-law."
Although Wang Qingqing has become much more sensible, she is not a docile person. If she meets difficult in-laws and a group of poor relatives who are picky and waiting to take advantage of her, she will probably roll up her sleeves and fight. Rather than this, it is better for her not to get married.
"If I meet a difficult in-law, I would rather not marry and stay with Sister Lotus for the rest of my life. The people in the village are nice, so I am willing to do that."
Sun felt like she had a heart attack after hearing this. No matter how outstanding Su He was, she would still glare at her. This annoying girl not only didn't want to get married, but also brought someone else with her.
Su He felt like she was shot while lying down. She had tried her best to reduce her presence, but how come she was still involved?
"Since you are worried about your parents-in-law, why not just pick someone whose parents have both passed away and who can't bear to leave our Tianyuan Village? Just look for someone in the village. I think Erli is a good choice."
Wen Niang either keeps silent or says something shocking.
Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and then they suddenly realized. Yes, Erli's parents were both deceased, and he only had a frail grandmother. His brother was also a good-natured and affectionate man. Even if Wang Qingqing brought a generous dowry, no one would be interested in her money.
Wang Qingqing was also stunned. She recalled Erli's appearance in her mind. He seemed to be two heads taller than her, tall and strong, and usually didn't talk much. Once she gave candy figures to Miaomiao and the others, and heard the big girl bragging that her hair was tied by her uncle. It sounded like he was a careful person.
"Yes, Erli is a down-to-earth man with a good temper. He is the one who meets our requirements."
Su He also nodded affirmatively.
Sun smiled and nodded, Erli was indeed a good candidate.
"Qingqing, what do you think?"
Wang Qingqing blushed and was silent for a long while before she spoke softly, suppressing her shyness.
"Grandma, I left a bad impression on people before, and everyone in the village knows my background. They may have never considered me."
This meant that she agreed, and Sun's expression became even softer.
"What's your background? You are an orphan whose parents are both dead. Erli also lost his parents. No one should look down on anyone. So, I will go and test the waters. Don't worry, we are both tight-lipped. No matter what the result is, no one will know."
The Wang family members in the room all nodded in good faith, "Everyone looks at each other this way. We always have to look at a few people before we find the one we like. It's normal whether it succeeds or not. Don't worry too much."
"Yes, Erli may still have low self-esteem. He is already a 21-year-old man. We used to say that he would be single for the rest of his life."
Wang Liang originally wanted to comfort Wang Qingqing, but he didn't expect that there was a 31-year-old Shunzi next to him.
Shunzi was a little depressed. Men aged 21 are considered old men, so what about him who got married at the age of 30?
"You little brat, I feel like you're mocking me."
Shunzi is much more cheerful than before. He hugs Wang Liang's neck and tickles him. This kid's words are so irritating.
Wang Liang finally reacted. He was stubborn and not afraid at all. He continued to talk nonsense with a wink, "Uncle, please put it aside. I am talking about you."
Everyone in the room laughed at once, and Wang Qingqing also laughed and let out a breath. She felt that even if Erli refused, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.
Sun was thinking about going to Dali's house to ask, but this time she quickly announced the end of the meeting and everyone went back to their own mothers.
The Jin family was not in a hurry, after all, Wang Zhi’s main task was to prepare for the exam.
"Xiaobai, you've worked hard this month. I'll go to the city tomorrow to buy a pig's head and stew it for you. You and Hehua can each have half."
Liu Bai smiled and nodded. Wang Zhi felt a little jealous, "Mom, don't I have a share?"
Jin said perfunctorily, "I'll add some dried tofu and meat, and we can share."
Wang Zhi muttered angrily, "Wait, wait until he passes the exam, I will definitely buy a whole pig's head and have his mother braise it for him to eat alone. Even his brothers won't get a share."
Wang Qingqing watched Sun leave, knowing that she would be very nervous when she went to ask for the result, and her palms were sweating. Yanzhi was very considerate, and sat beside her with Tiantian, comforting her softly.
"It's nothing. My grandma is experienced and won't embarrass either party. I'm making shoes recently. Do you want to come with me and take a look?"
Yanzhi lived in Su He's house, so Wang Qingqing agreed.
The two of them took Tiantian into the house to discuss shoes.
Su He took Miaomiao and followed Sun to Dali's house.
The door of Dali's house was open and it was very lively inside. When Sun walked in, she saw that it was Wang Laoliu's family.
Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no! There is a girl named Lanlan in Laoliu’s family. Could she also be attracted to Erli?
Grandma Dali was talking to the sixth son's wife. When she saw Sun coming, she was very enthusiastic.
"Fugui's mother, why are you here, big girl, hurry up and make some sugar water for your grandma, hehe."
When Wang Laoliu and his wife saw that it was Sun, they also became nervous. Sun's family had a divorced granddaughter, could she be attracted to Dali? What a sin! Should they insist?
Both parties were full of thoughts and chatted for a long time, but no one mentioned business, as if they were just visiting casually.
Finally, Su He couldn't bear it any longer. Wang Qingqing was still waiting. She wanted to find out whether there was any hope or not.
"Brother Erli, come here, I have something to ask you."
Su He simply called the male protagonist to question him privately.
Now Wang Laoliu and the other man were no longer nervous, because Erli had nothing to do with them. But then they became excited again. No way, could it be that Hehua fell in love with Erli?
What's so good about this kid? Is there something they haven't thought of?
