Song’s grandmother both believed and disbelieved Qiying’s words. What she believed was that if Qi Ying really married Lao San, Lao San would indeed dote on her; what she did not believe was that Qi Ying had so quickly given up on Song Si.
I think it’s a good thing that my family was lucky in our last life that you had the idea of marrying Lao San. But I know my son, he is just a lazy man who doesn’t know how to get ahead. If you marry him, your life will be ruined. Take my advice and give up the idea of marrying him, and I won’t let him come to the county again.”
“Sister-in-law Song ……”
Mrs. Qi also changed her title, perhaps because Qi Ying had been injured, her face looked a little haggard.
“Ying’er is right. We have given this decision a lot of thought. Our Wei Yuan Bodyguard Bureau looks so powerful, but in reality, we are just begging for food at the mouth of the sword. We as a couple have not married Ying’er because we don’t want her to live this way again ……”
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
The woman’s father and mother were not able to get the money to pay for it.
Mrs. Qi’s eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs, “Ying’er is lucky to have a life this time. If she could marry your son and live in peace, we wouldn’t have to worry about our lives anymore. I know you have doubts in your mind. There are countless talented young people in Qingping County, but why did we choose your son? You know Ying’er’s temperament. She is spoiled by us, and she will fight with others if she cannot agree on a word. We don’t want her to suffer. After thinking it over, we think your son is very suitable. Don’t worry, we won’t ask for more than the bride price, we ……”
“I don’t mean that ……”
Grandma Song was shocked, she did not expect Qi Ying to be hurt so badly, nor did she expect Madam Qi to say such things. She did not agree to the marriage because she felt that Lao San was not good enough for Qi Ying, but now in this situation, if Lao San did not marry Qi Ying, Qi Ying would not even be able to talk to a family.
“I, I am thinking of Miss Qi, it is true that my third son is not worthy of him, but if you, if …… I am naturally very happy.”
“You are agreeing to this?”
“Agreed, agreed ……”
The first thing that I would like to do is to ask for a bride’s hand in marriage, and we will find a matchmaker to come to the house to propose the marriage once Yingzi’s injuries have healed.
“That’s really great.”
Mrs. Qi reversed her earlier mournfulness and took Grandma Song’s hand, “Let’s make a deal.”
……
On the carriage back, Grandma Song was so happy that she couldn’t stop talking.
Although she kept saying that whoever married Lao-san would be unlucky, but in the end, he was her favourite son, and she hoped that he would find a good daughter-in-law, and Qi Ying could not say that she could pick one out of a thousand, but there was always one out of a hundred.
“The third uncle is not young, and he will have to get married soon after he is engaged, but there are only a few rooms in our house, so we can’t let them live in the hut where the third uncle lives now, right?”
Song Wangyue asked.
“That’s easy to do, when we get back, let your grandfather go to the village headman, buy a piece of foundation and build him a few rooms, it will be quick.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea. Sister Qi grew up in the county anyway, and marrying Third Uncle is aggravating enough, so we can’t let her go live in the countryside with us again. I have a lot of silver left over, let’s buy Uncle San a house in the county, preferably close to the Mighty Dart Office, so that it will be convenient for Sister Qi to return to her mother’s home.”
“No.”
The silver was originally saved for Yue’er’s dowry, so she had no choice but to buy a house for Song Si in the capital, so how could she buy a house for Lao San in the county?
“Buying the foundation and then hiring someone to build a house will also cost a lot of silver, and the family will have to worry and work along with them, so why not just buy a house for Third Uncle?”
Song Wangyue paused and added, “This way, when big brother comes back in the future, he won’t run into it, much less be embarrassed.”
At the mention of Song Si, Grandma Song agreed. After all, it was Song Si that Qi Ying had fallen in love with before, and although things hadn’t worked out, it would always be uncomfortable to see each other.
“Fine, I’ll do as you say and buy him a mansion.”
“Then let’s buy it quietly, don’t let Third Uncle know, lest he tell Sister Qi in advance and there will be no surprise then.”
Grandma Song agreed, “I’ll do whatever you want.”
……
After the two of them came back, Song Lin had already cut all the vegetable fillings and made the noodles, just waiting for Song Wan Yue to come back and mix the vegetable fillings so that the dumplings could be wrapped.
After Song Lin bought the vegetables and noodles, the two of them wanted to help in the kitchen, but Song Lin didn’t let them do it and quickly prepared them all by herself.
Looking at his skilful movements, they were dumbfounded.
They knew that people from the countryside were capable, but they did not expect Song Lin to do even the cooking work so skillfully.
Song Wangyue prepared the vegetable filling and took it to the dining room, greeting everyone in the family to come and make dumplings, even the old man and Meng Yang.
The two had never been in a kitchen in their lives, let alone cooked. If others dared to say that they should come and wrap dumplings, they would definitely be a good look ………. But when they heard the servants say that Song Wangyue had asked them to do so, they came over with a smile on their faces.
The old man sat on a stool and was responsible for handing over the rolled out dumpling skins, while Meng Yang learned to roll them out from the old man Song.
It was also Meng’s first time making dumplings and she was surprised.
The house was full of joy.
“If only Yi’er were here, he likes dumplings the most.”
No sooner had Grandma Song’s words left her lips than footsteps sounded outside, and then the curtain was lifted and Gu Yi walked in, his eyes lighting up when he saw the dumplings being wrapped.
“Are there any meat-filled ones?”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Grandma Song replied with a smile, “Knowing that you love stuffed meat, I specially asked Yue’er to mix a pot.”
Gu Yi pushed up his sleeves, “I’ll roll out the skin.”
He moved quickly and had several rolled out in a few moments, the old man and Meng looked at them with smiles almost dripping out of their eyes.
During his time in the capital, they had seen how Gu Yi treated Song Wan Yue, and could be said to be completely devoted to her.
The family laughed and talked, and soon the dumplings were ready. Gu Yi volunteered to go to the fire, but was stopped by the crowd.
When they got out of the door and got on the carriage, Song Wan Yue told them about Qi Ying’s insistence on marrying Song San Xiao, “I always thought there was something fishy about it.
