Chapter 138: The Lin Family's Marriage Proposal
Father Liu finished speaking.
Although his head was lowered, he was secretly observing Shen Qian's expression out of the corner of his eyes.
After discovering that Shen Qian was still smiling, he thought to himself: This thing probably works!
Just as I was thinking about it, Shen Qian's voice of rejection came into my ears:
"Feel sorry."
"I have no idle cattle or horses."
"Fifty-two horses. Fifty were used to form the heavy cavalry, and the remaining two horses were borrowed by someone before you."
"As for the pregnant woman, you can let her sit in my carriage. Tianci and his wife are strong and healthy, so they can give up their place in the carriage to their sister-in-law."
"I think they have no objection, right?"
After she finished speaking, Shen Qian stared at Wang Tianci and his wife Liu.
I was secretly laughing in my heart: You want to use a pregnant woman to kidnap me? No way!
As for you guys not wanting to walk? Then go talk to the fourth brother and his wife. Once they've negotiated, they can let them walk on the ground, and you can all sit on it.
When Mr. Liu heard Shen Qian's refusal, he didn't react at first.
But when she mentioned Wang Tianci and his wife, he finally reacted. Facing Wang Tianci's surprised look, Father Liu waved his hands and kept winking at the wife of his eldest son Liu Shi.
Seeing this, Liu Shi's wife quickly stood up, showing her pregnant belly to everyone, and repeatedly refused:
"Can't, can't."
"I'm not some delicate young lady."
"I'm from a farming family, so I'm pretty tough."
"How can I let my sister and brother-in-law give up the carriage?"
Wang Tianci frowned slightly when he saw his sister-in-law rejected his mother's proposal.
He stood up directly from his seat.
What Shen Qian didn't expect was that he actually took the initiative to ask his sister-in-law to sit in the carriage:
"Sister-in-law, you're already nine months old. I was inconsiderate when we first met."
"For the rest of the journey, sister-in-law, please sit in the carriage and chat with my wife. The maid and I will sit outside the carriage and drive together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Shi looked at Wang Tianci gratefully.
But Liu Shi's wife still shook her head and refused:
"Thank you for your kindness, brother-in-law. I..."
Before she could finish her words, Wang Tianci stamped his feet and shouted:
"Ok, deal!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm a man of seven feet tall, and my spit is as good as nails."
"Don't refuse anymore."
"Brother thanks my wife and brother-in-law on her behalf." Seeing this, Liu Shi was afraid that his silly wife would refuse again, so he rushed forward and bowed to express his gratitude.
Wang Tianci seemed very manly and helped Liu Shi up.
This scene of "brotherly love and respect" made Shen Qian, who was standing by, stunned: Is this still the fourth brother in her memory?
When had he ever been so humble and polite in his own home? Hadn't he always been sneaky and cunning, doing the work himself and taking his wife to the shade of the trees when nothing else mattered?
Or...his humility and courtesy are only directed at his father-in-law's family?
I really raised a 'good son' for someone else. Shen Qian thought to herself, almost laughing out of anger.
The only one who was worried was Liu Hao.
His original intention was that he wanted to take a ride, and his grandpa and mother came to find Aunt Shen Qian just to give him a ride.
But in the end, he didn't get to borrow the cow or horse, but his sister-in-law got a seat in the car.
This made Liu Hao feel extremely dissatisfied.
After eating and drinking, Liu Hao returned to his cart and leaned directly on the wheel of the cart.
Dissatisfaction was clearly written on his face.
Perhaps because his wife had a place to go, Liu Shi did not discipline Liu Hao.
I found a place to lie down, closed my eyes and rested.
Seeing no sound for a long time, Liu Hao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his brother.
I found him sleeping peacefully beside me, and I was furious:
"They were clearly there to borrow cattle and horses, but some people only cared about their wives."
"I don't care whether my parents can hold on or not."
When Liu Shi heard Liu Hao's sarcastic tone, his brows furrowed slightly.
But it soon unwound.
My grandparents' health is much better than my wife's.
If there weren't always some lazy people sitting in the cart when my mother was pushing it, why would my mother have to suffer so much?
Ultimately, this is not my own problem.
Seeing that Liu Shi ignored him, Liu Hao turned aside.
I suddenly felt angry.
But as a younger brother, he didn't dare to hit or scold his older brother.
Otherwise, he would have no place to complain if his brother beat him up.
After all... the current law stipulates that even if he is disabled, his brother will take care of him for the rest of his life.
The team is further back.
Old Mrs. Lin and her family walked slowly to the nearby area.
Looking towards Wangjia Village from afar.
Old Mrs. Lin leaned on the cart and said breathlessly:
"In front... the people from Wangjia Village are in front, right?"
"Mother, it should be correct." Lin Ze nodded and responded:
"We haven't fallen far behind along the way. With so many people gathered, I think it can only be Wangjia Village."
After receiving Lin Ze's affirmative answer, Mrs. Lin looked at the little corn left in the house and said to Lin Ze:
"No...son, you should marry Wang Miaomiao."
After the words fell, Mrs. Lin and Lin Ze were silent for a long time.
Marry Wang Miaomiao?
If this happened in Wangjia Village, and Wang Miaomiao had not lost her figure, he could indeed marry her home.
But now, when he thought of Wang Miaomiao's unrecognizable face and skinny body, he even felt a little scared.
How can I love you anymore?
He really didn't want to marry such an ugly woman.
Even if she is just an ordinary peasant woman?
Then at least he could admit it.
Wang Miaomiao is now an orphan. He had secretly observed her before and found that Wang Miaomiao was not with Shen Qian and her group, but was alone with the village chief. It seemed that she was really abandoned by Wang Shen.
What good would it be if I married her without her family's support?
When Old Lady Lin saw her third son shaking his head, she quickly advised:
"Child."
"This is our only way to return to Wangjia Village."
"We can't survive if we walk outside on our own."
"Only by returning to Wangjia Village and relying on the village's protection can we reach the southern border."
"Besides...we're out of food. If you and Wang Miaomiao agree to get married, Wang Shenshi won't let Miaomiao and you starve to death."
"She will definitely give Wang Miaomiao some food when the time comes, so that our family's food supply will be guaranteed."
Old Mrs. Lin persuaded earnestly.
This made Lin Ze fall into deep entanglement and struggle.
After about a few minutes, Lin Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that he has done a lot of psychological preparation.
He responded:
"Okay..Okay."
"My mother's order, the three sons will obey."
When Mrs. Lin saw that her son agreed, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
"Then you wait here. I'll go talk to the village chief and Wang Shen."
"This matter cannot be delayed."
