A Small Farmer Girl 's Story of Making a Fortune by Farming

69

Shen Hongmei's marriage was settled, and the man she was going to marry was the youngest son of the grocery store owner mentioned by Shen Laosan.

　　Old Man Shen went to the town to look for the person in person.

　　Old man Shen waited until all the vegetables were sold before going to the town. The reason was that he would feel more confident if his pockets were full.

　　Old man Shen came back from the town looking radiant and seemed to be several years younger.

　　When his three sons were getting married, he was not so happy. Now that his eldest granddaughter has found a good marriage, he feels indescribably happy.

　　"Look at your mouth, it's been grinning all day. If someone doesn't know, they would think that gold nuggets have fallen from the sky for you to pick up." Mrs. Wu glared at Old Man Shen unhappily.

　　"What do you know, woman?"

　　Mrs. Wu, who was already angry, was completely enraged. She threw her apron at him and said, "I am a woman, how can I not understand? You have been grinning since you came back from town without saying a word. How can I understand?"

　　Seeing that Mrs. Wu was really angry, Old Man Shen calmed down and whispered, "Keep your voice down, don't let the children laugh at you."

　　Old Man Shen was afraid of losing face in front of his grandchildren, but Mrs. Wu refused to listen and wanted to scold him a few times.

　　Seeing this, Old Man Shen hurriedly said, "It's the young man from the Lu family. I think he is a good match for our Hongmei!"

　　"The grocer's youngest son?"

　　"Well, the grocery store owner's surname is Lu, and his youngest son is Lu Tianming. Even though the boy is only twelve years old, he is very handsome and has a scholarly air. You can tell at first glance that he will be able to pass the imperial examination." When talking about the Lu family's youngest son, Old Man Shen's face lit up again.

　　Mrs. Wu looked doubtful: "Is it really that good?"

　　If the young man of the Lu family was really that good, why would he fall in love with their family? Could it be that he was pretending to be so good to the old man to deceive him?

　　Seeing that the old woman didn't believe him, Old Man Shen's expression became more serious: "Even if you don't believe what I saw, you should trust our in-laws, right? They won't harm our Hongmei. After all, Chunxiang will live in our family for the rest of her life."

　　After Old Man Shen said this, Mrs. Wu felt relieved. But she was only relieved a little. She was still a little worried and planned to go and see it in person someday.

　　Shen Yao and Zhang Chunxiang accompanied them to the town, and they did not tell Zhang Chunxiang's family, for fear that the Lu family would get wind of it and put on a show in front of them.

　　Mrs. Wu was afraid of being recognized, so she did not go to the grocery store. Instead, she asked Zhang Chunxiang to lead her to hide behind a wall outside the private school.

　　Shen Yao leaned against Mrs. Wu's legs, stretched his head out to peek, then instantly retracted it, like a thief.

　　It's really tense and exciting.

　　"School is over! Chunxiang, look and see which one is the Lu family boy."

　　Zhang Chunxiang received the order and leaned half of her body out, looking around at the students.
