Cheng Jia knelt on the ground, a suspicious cloud appeared on his dark face.
"My subordinate wants to marry Cheng Daya, and I hope Mr. Gong will agree!"
Da Ya's original surname was Liu, but later she changed her surname to Cheng. Now her name is Cheng Da Ya. She is sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and she has indeed reached the age of marriage.
Cheng Wanwan put down the account book and couldn't help but ask: "You shouldn't ask me this, you should ask Daya."
Cheng Jia's face turned red: "Just, Da Ya asked my subordinate if he wanted to marry her, so he came to ask for a nod..."
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
I really can't believe that this niece is so tough.
She stood up, coughed and said, "You are twenty this year, it is indeed time to get married, but Da Ya is not my daughter. You have to ask Da Ya's mother what she means. Let's go together. .”
Cheng Jia hurriedly got up from the ground and followed Cheng Wanwan to Cheng Yuanyuan's house.
Cheng Yuanyuan was busy in the yard, and Daya was washing clothes nearby. When she saw Cheng Jia coming in, Daya's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and walked to the backyard.
"Sister, stop working." Cheng Wanwan walked over, "Cheng Jia has something to tell you."
Cheng Yuanyuan wiped her hands, raised her head and said with a smile: "Xiao Jia is very energetic today. If you have anything to do, please tell me."
Cheng Wanwan sat silently eating melon and called Xiao Jia affectionately. It seemed that there was no big problem with the marriage.
Cheng Jia came over and suddenly knelt down in front of Cheng Yuanyuan, startling her: "What's going on? Why are you kneeling on the ground like this? You kid, get up quickly."
"Auntie, I, I..."
Cheng Jia suddenly stuttered.
He was not a eloquent person to begin with, and now his tongue was tied and he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
He dug his hand into his chest, took out a cloth bag, and handed it to Cheng Yuanyuan.
Cheng Yuanyuan was very suspicious. She opened the bag and saw that it was full of banknotes and broken silver. It was roughly estimated that it was at least a thousand taels.
"Aunt, this is my betrothal gift." Cheng Jia raised his head, "I want to marry Daya, and I ask my aunt to make it happen."
"Marry, marry Da Ya?" Cheng Yuanyuan was extremely shocked, "You two..."
For more than a month, Cheng Jia often came to the house to help with work. She thought it was a casual order, but it turned out that it was for Da Ya?
This guy seduced her daughter right under her nose?
Although she had been anxious about her daughter's marriage, it was still difficult to accept it when it actually happened.
At this moment, Daya ran out of the house and knelt down on the ground with Cheng Jia. She said in a firm voice: "I hope mother can agree."
Cheng Yuanyuan held her forehead.
How come this girl doesn't look like a daughter's family at all? How could she get involved in the marriage discussion?
She calmed down and said, "You two get up, let's sit down and talk."
Cheng Wanwan followed and said, "Kneeling doesn't look good, so get up quickly."
Cheng Jia and Da Ya looked at each other, then got up from the ground and stood at the edge.
Cheng Yuanyuan coughed and said seriously: "When did the two of you start getting married, when did you decide to get married, and whether there was any transgression, please tell me clearly."
"Auntie, I definitely didn't do anything against Da Ya that went against the rules." Cheng Jia hurriedly defended, then blushed and whispered, "Actually, when Da Ya was learning martial arts with Uncle Wang from the patrol team a long time ago, I Just...many people in the village are learning martial arts, but only one girl, Daya, persisted. At that time, I felt that Daya was different from others."
Cheng Wanwan complained silently in her heart. It was clear that this girl Cheng Fang was also learning martial arts, but in the eyes of lovers, Cheng Fang might just be a ball of air.
"Wow!" Daya pushed his shoulder, "So you noticed me at that time, but it was only when I spoke that you said you liked me too..."
Cheng Yuanyuan: "..."
If you flirt in front of her, do you really pretend that she doesn't exist?
She took a sip of tea and said, "I know this. Let me think about it carefully. You two go and do your work."
Cheng Jia cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll resign first."
After he and Daya walked out of the yard, Cheng Yuanyuan looked at Cheng Wanwan, who had been eating melon silently: "Wanwan, do you think this marriage is suitable?"
"Two children like each other, what's wrong with that?" Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "Cheng A has stayed at my house for two years, and I know him relatively well. Although he talks little, he is very diligent. Mainly She has a good character, if she marries Da Ya, she will definitely protect Da Ya like an eyeball, of this, eldest sister can rest assured."
She paused and continued, "Cheng Jia's deed of betrayal is in my hands. I will redeem his life, and he will be free from now on. He can continue to stay in my house as a nurse, or he can go out and practice martial arts on his own. Pavilion, as he wishes, is there anything else I need to know, eldest sister?"
Cheng Yuanyuan also knew that Cheng Jia was a reliable person, and after much thought, she couldn't find anything wrong with him.
She said helplessly: "My daughter is getting older, and her heart is no longer at home. Seeing her like this, I wish I could get married as soon as possible. No matter what, I don't have to worry about it anymore."
This voice was full of melancholy.
Cheng Wanwan couldn't understand this emotion because she didn't have a daughter.
Cheng Yuanyuan felt melancholy for a while, then went into the house and took out the almanac: "Since the two children are old, let's quickly pick a date to get married. I can also hold my grandson early. Wanwan, please help me pick a date. .”
Cheng Wanwan didn't know this, so he simply asked Old Man Zhao to help him set a date.
There have been good days all year round. After much thought, I finally settled on the auspicious day of May 18th.
Although the wedding was a bit rushed, fortunately, there was no shortage of anything at home and there was enough time to make last-minute preparations.
Cheng Wanwan was looking at the courtyard in Dahe Town. The square courtyard was transparent and clean. She bought four sets, one for each of the four brothers A, B, C and D.
After buying the house, she arranged for Mrs. Qi to fill up the small yard and decorate it into a festive wedding room.
After she took Cheng Jia's deed of sale to the government to cancel it, she handed it to Cheng Jia herself and said earnestly: "You will be free from now on. After you have your own family, you must put the family first in everything. The most important thing is that you can’t let Daya down, remember?”
Cheng Jia was moved to tears: "I will always remember Gongren's kindness. Although I am married, I am still Gongren's subordinate!"
Cheng Wanwan smiled and helped him up: "After you and Daya get married, you should call me second aunt."
Although Cheng Jia was just a guard, his marriage to Daya also attracted much attention, and people in the village gathered around to discuss the matter.
"I heard that Cheng Jia gave me a gift of one thousand taels of silver. It is the highest gift in our village...oh, in our town."
"Who says it's not the case? I didn't expect that someone who works as a guard in Dashan Niang's house would be so rich. It's really enviable."
"Cheng Jia is not only a guard, he also has to work in the fields, and he also has to help take care of some businesses. He does a lot of things, so doesn't his salary mean that much?"
"Furthermore, Dashan Niang has a wide hand and rewards her subordinates from time to time. I guess Cheng Yi and the others also have a lot of money."
"I used to only keep an eye on Sanniu, but it seems I have to change my mind now. Cheng Yi is pretty good, and she'll be a good match for my granddaughter."
"..."
