Cough, you can check me if you want, but be careful."After the discomfort in Wang Kun's heart subsided, he finally spoke."Father, just take care of yourself. We'll handle the rest."Immediately, Wang Y...Wen Dalian thought more and more it was wrong. She put on a patched earth-cloth over her new padded jacket, wore a hat, and went out. She needed to find out what was going on, otherwise she wouldn't feel at ease.

On the other side, Wen Zhaoming and his sister had already been sent back to their own residence by Wen Jiahong, of course, avoiding people.

At this point, Wen Jiahong's face had noticeably improved. He smiled and said:

"Neither my mother nor I expected Ms. Su to be so formal, going so far as to have the official media come to propose marriage. And the gift she brought is quite thoughtful as well. I'll have it delivered to you tomorrow."

"Sister Hong, you don't need to bring the things here. These were gifts from the betrothal ceremony. Since the village head has accepted them on behalf of the elders, you should keep them."

Wen Zhaoming immediately said.

"This can't be right, this is yours."

Wen Jiarong immediately refused.

Wen Zhaoming helplessly, but he still compromised.

"Sister Hong, how about we talk in a few days It's too obvious if you bring things over now."

You're right, do it as you say. This matter isn't settled until it's officially finalized, so don't spread the word until then.

On the other side, when Wen's mother inquired around, she learned that the suitor was Miss Su from Sujiazhuang. Her heart skipped a beat. After thinking for a moment, she turned her head and went straight to Wen Zhaoming's house. As luck would have it, she saw the back of Wen Jiarong sending Mingge'er and Yuet Yue into the courtyard and leaving.

Mrs. Wen's brow furrowed tightly, a dark flash in her eyes. She then went to call at the door of Wen Zhaoming's house.

"Ming'er, Yueyue, are you there"

Mingge'er, who was tidying up things inside the house, heard the familiar voice and frowned. He then opened the door, went to the fence, and said with a bland expression:

"Auntie, why are you here Is there anything the matter"

"My dear child, why wouldn't I come to see you if I had nothing else to do"

Then, Mrs. Wen scolded.

"Aunt, Yueyue's body isn't feeling well, I just carried him to the village head's house to get some medicine. The medicine money is still on credit. If you feel sorry for my younger sister and me, could you lend me one hundred copper coins"

Wen Zhaoming stated directly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Daniu's face stiffened. After twitching the corner of her mouth, she said:

"Ming'er, you know, my aunt's family isn't wealthy either."

Since Yueyue was almost sold and rescued, she has become very easily frightened. Our family savings, which were already dwindling, have been nearly depleted from medical expenses recently.

Before winter, all the game I hunted was sent as gifts to people. Others helped me rescue Yueyue, and I can't show any appreciation. Now I only have ten copper coins in my hand. Big Aunt, could you lend me a few more

Wen Zhaoming said earnestly.

Now, even Wen Daniu's face was a bit embarrassed. After all, when she saved Yueyue, her aunt had avoided her. Now that someone was asking for money, what could she say Wouldn't lending it make her appear even more heartless as an elder

"Ming'er, I don't have any money on me right now. The family money is always handled by your uncle. I'll go back and ask him for some. Please wait a moment."

After finishing her words, Auntie Wen turned and left.

Wen Zhaoming watched his aunt's flustered back, a sneer playing at the corner of his lips.

To say that Grandma Wen didn't know about Yueyue being sold, he wouldn't believe it one bit. After all, when they arrested Third Brother Wen, the two were together. It's just a matter of wondering what they were plotting against each other during their time together.

Wen Zhaoming let out a cold snort, then turned and went back into the house.

"Big brother, is that Auntie Why doesn't she come in"

Wen Zhaoyue raised her head and asked.

She only said two words to me, nothing important. From now on, if your aunt asks you anything or finds you alone, just say you don't know, remember

Wen Zhaoming gave a worried reminder, "Having already had Wen Sandidi, I wouldn't mind using the worst assumptions to guess what Big Mother is thinking. He's family, yet he isn't even as trustworthy as an outsider."

When Wenda got rejected by her nephew, she went home grumbling.

The next day, Shen Yan arrived again, full of spirit. This time, it was to have their eight characters matched.

The village head gave Shen Meigong a red paper inscribed with Wen Zhaoming's birthdate and eight characters. This time, Shen Meigong didn't delay, driving straight back to Sujiazhuang as it still needed to be enshrined for three days.

Old Mrs. Wen arrived late and failed to intercept the matchmaker. This time, she gritted her teeth and went directly to the village head's house.

The village head wasn't surprised when Wen Dalian came to him. He simply asked in a flat tone:

"Madam, is there anything I can do for you"

"Village head, I just want to ask about the suitor of Ms. Su."

Knowing the village head wasn't easily fooled, Wen Daniu simply spoke plainly.

"You're talking about Miss Su, aren't you She's marrying Brother Ming."

The village head didn't beat around the bush, and directly said, since we've already come to this point, there's no need to be afraid of any unforeseen circumstances.

Then, a flash of fury crossed Wen Da's face. But even more ghastly was the look on Wen Jiahong's face as he snatched up a teacup from the table and hurled it at her with a cold sneer, saying:

"Auntie Wen, you son of a bitch dare to give my mother the cold shoulder, are you looking for death!"

Wen Dalian also didn't expect Wen Jiahong to actually dare to directly smash things at her. She took a step back, dodging the teacup, and then said with anger:

"Wén Jiāhóng, what do you mean Where have I put on airs This is about my own nephew's marriage, how is it wrong for me as an elder to ask a question"

“Elder Bah! You don't even deserve to be Ming Ge's elder, pretending everything is fine over there. Think we don't know about all the dirty things you've done!”

> Wen Jiahong said dismissively.

"Headman, I truly didn't know what my younger brother had done at first. He came to me, saying he wanted to discuss Ming Ge'er's marriage. We hadn't even spoken two sentences when you arrived."

Wen Dalian immediately explained.

"Well, well, I see now. You're the smartest one in your family. Your second sister didn't want to be your stepping stone, so you just got rid of her. And your third brother He's your knife, he does whatever you tell him."

"Village head, I dare not admit this, or else how can I walk around the village afterwards."

Wen Daniu immediately said.

"Madam, yesterday I had Jiaohong look for Wen Xiaoxiao. Guess what she said"

The village head said calmly.

As soon as the words left his mouth, even Mrs. Wen, who was skilled in qigong and had a good complexion, changed color. It was obvious that she hadn't expected the village head to have someone look for Wen Xiaoxiao. This meant her deal with...

"If you want to remain unknown, then don't do anything. Go back! If you dare interfere with Ming'er's wedding, I have ways to make sure you can't stand in this village."

Evidently, the village head's threat was more effective this time. This time, Wen Da-niang neither argued nor said anything else. She simply turned her head and left the room.

"Mother, this kind of person is a venomous snake. If we let her stay in the village, who knows what trouble she might cause one day."

Wen JiaHong frowned and said.

"You should find an opportunity to let Ms. Su know about this. She's sure to have a way to handle it."

"After all, I'm the village head. If I were to be too harsh, the villagers would say that I'm too cold-blooded. Besides, she's disguising herself very well right now, there's no need to sully my hands for someone like her."

The village head, being a seasoned veteran, sealed the fate of Wen Daniu's mother with his words.People secretly watched them move the food and gas cylinders, all of them eager to make a move.Ripples was the first to be stopped. A kindly old woman with a fair complexion and gentle smile said:“Mis...
