Since Shen Luzhu said that she would help the Qian family to arrange a marriage for Chu Ping, she was very concerned about this matter. Not only did she find Mrs. Qin to be a matchmaker for her and Chu Yi, but she also asked Shen's mother and Aunt Shen to meet in Hexi Village. Please help and inquire more.
Chu Yi and his wife were acquitted, and the Chu family began to look for a girl of the right age for Chu Ping again. Within two days, the news reached the ears of the Tang family again. Everyone in the Tang family was already quite dissatisfied with Tang's mother's insistence on breaking off the engagement that day. There was some criticism, but now I heard that there was nothing wrong with her at all. A good marriage was just messed up by Tang Mu. It was very displeasing to Tang Mu.
Tang's mother had some regrets in her heart. She was too anxious that day and broke off the engagement before she understood the situation. However, it was hard to say anything because of her face. Now she was facing complaints and rejections from her family all day long. It seemed that Seeing the Shen family so enthusiastically showing Chu Ping a look at the girl, he felt even more regretful in his heart. He wished he could knock himself unconscious with a stick. It would be best if he woke up when Chu Ping was still his future son-in-law.
Here in Hexi Village, Mrs. Tang regrets her mistake, and over there in Uncle Chu's family in the mountain village, there are also people regretting that they failed to seize the opportunity.
Chu Fang has not dared to go back to her parents' home for a long time since Chu Ren kicked her back when she came home last time. However, too many things have happened in recent days. Now that she is free, she can't care about Chu Fang. Ren was still there, so he hurried back to his parents' house.
Mrs. Wang was sitting on the small bench in the kitchen, lighting the fire, and listening to Chu Fang whispering in her ears: "Auntie, you guys are really good. You had such a good opportunity before, why didn't you just take advantage of the fact that no one was around? It was great to take over that shop, but why did you miss it? Now that they are back, this shop will definitely be even more difficult to acquire!"
Wang regretted it more than anyone in her heart. This was what she thought before, but her son had different ideas, so she didn't say anything more. Now that the couple came back, she felt more upset in her heart, but she couldn't say it in words. She said that all scholars love saving face, and she could not discredit Chu Ren in front of Chu Fang.
"You know what the heck, your father and I have an idea about this matter, so you don't need to say anything!"
The reason why Mrs. Wang is so calm is because she already knows what to do and how to do it! But these were not the ideas she and Uncle Chu came up with, they were all ideas given by Chu Ren.
Chu Fang rolled her eyes and asked curiously: "Mom, what are your plans? Let me tell my daughter!"
"What are you asking about? Just mind your own business!"
Chu Fang, the eldest brother, said unhappily: "My mother-in-law is right. I care about my mother's family and what went wrong. If she talks to me, maybe I can help her come up with some ideas!"
"You still care about us? Don't come back all day asking for money. I'll burn incense for you. Go home quickly. I have to bring a pot of hot water to Aren. I have to cook for a while, so I don't have time to pay attention. you!"
Ms. Wang doesn't believe Chu Fang's nonsense at all now. She only cares about her parents' family when she comes back to support her useless husband's family. It's really the water thrown away by her married daughter. She is so stupid to be a mother-in-law!
In the past two days, Tang's mother showed Tang Yuzhen two more families, but no matter how she looked at them, she felt that the conditions were not as good as those of the Chu family. Tang's mother became increasingly unable to restrain her desire to get married to the Chu family again. You can't really give yourself a stick, but who said you can't get engaged again after breaking off the engagement!
This time, Tang's mother did not dare to tell the man her thoughts in advance. She knew that she would be scolded if she told him, and she might even be stopped at home and not allowed to go. So she simply gave him a warning and found him later. One day, I made an excuse to leave my house and went straight to Chu's house across the river.
Shen Luzhu and Xiu Xiu were busy in the shop. They had rested for several days. The couple planned to pack up and reopen tomorrow.
Qian had just finished her work at home and came over to help when she had nothing to do. She felt a little distressed when she looked at the banknotes and paper money thrown on the ground.
"These paper money are all in good condition, but they really can't be sold?"
Shen Luzhu looked at the banknotes and paper money that had just been collected on the ground, and felt equally reluctant to give up: "Yes, Auntie, we can't sell it. Not only that, but the printing plate made by Chu Yi also has to be disposed of. "
"What's the best way to deal with it? Throw it away? It's all money spent. It's too much to just throw it away like this!"
Shen Luzhu also felt that it was a pity. The most important thing was not the banknotes that had been made, but the printing plate made by Chu Yi himself. Chu Yi had spent a lot of effort to make it. If he just lost it like this , I feel really distressed.
She was still discussing with Chu Yi yesterday, how about keeping the printing plate, hiding it at home and not using it anymore, just treating it as a souvenir, but Chu Yi was surprisingly determined this time, saying that it was Keeping this thing will be a disaster in the future. Shen Luzhu also knows that Chu Yi is afraid that if something happens again in the future and he is implicated in this printing plate, they can't explain. This time he should be jailed for a long time. Just be more vigilant.
"No, Auntie, but if you keep these, I'm afraid it will cause other troubles in the future, so I'll just take advantage of the current case to get rid of it together. The printing plate can only be destroyed and thrown away, but Chu Yi and I thought of a way yesterday to reduce the waste of those banknotes and paper money, but I don't know if it can be done yet."
Mrs. Qian nodded regretfully: "That's right. What method is that? My nephew-in-law, please tell me!"
"We were thinking about asking the papermaking workshop that we have been purchasing from if they could cut the paper into pieces and put it back into the pulp. If so, we would be able to make new paper. If so, we would waste less."
Qian was surprised when he heard this: "What else can we do?"
Just as Shen Luzhu was about to speak, he saw a peasant woman pushing open the door of the shop and leaning forward and walking in: "Hey, her aunt from the Chu family is here. I felt like she was listening to something like What’s going on with you!”
When Shen Luzhu was wondering who this person was, Mrs. Qian had already recognized Tang's mother's identity, and replied in a nonchalant manner: "Why, I can't stay in my nephew's wife's shop? "
Tang's mother had thought about it before she came. The Chu family would not look good on her, but when she really faced it, she still felt a little embarrassed, so she could only shift her target to Shen Luzhu who was aside: "That , Mrs. Shen is here too, I met your mother-in-law on the way here!"
Shen Luzhu also recognized who this person was at this time, and naturally he didn't have a good look towards her: "Is something wrong?"
Mother Tang didn't expect that even Shen Luzhu, a junior, would not give her face like this. She would have scolded her back in normal times. But for the sake of the Chu family's marriage, and in order to get into Chu Yi's money tree, she could only endure it. He said: "Auntie from the Chu family, I really have something to do with you. Why don't we go to your courtyard to talk about it?"
Qian glanced at Mrs. Tang and couldn't think of anything else she could talk to him about: "I'm still busy. If you have anything to say, just talk here!"
"Well, this... this is about..."
When Shen Luzhu saw Tang's mother hesitating and looking like she wanted to chat with Qian, an idea suddenly flashed across her face. Could it be that this aunt wanted to come and get engaged again?
Just as she was shocked, she saw Tang's mother finally speaking out smoothly: "It was our family's fault that we broke off the engagement before, but we had no choice but to panic for a moment, so we made this decision! Everything is over now. Well, her aunt, it’s not easy for you to see two children. They were all satisfied with each other before. Why don’t we decide on this marriage again? If the two children decide it earlier, we parents can also save money earlier. My heart is not right, do you think so, her aunt from the Chu family?"
Mrs. Qian was almost stunned by the shamelessness of the Tang family. She was instantly angry and retorted: "Have your dream! Who do you think my Chu family is? If you want to break off the engagement, just break off." Honey, if you want to get engaged, just get engaged, and don’t even pee and take photos of yourself! What the hell!”
"Chu family, what are you talking about! You are also a grandma, so you don't have to take care of this important matter of marriage for your son? Besides, the previous engagements and break-ups were all agreed by both families. I just saw that the two children liked each other, and I thought it was a pity to separate like this. Besides, your son hasn't found anything he likes yet. I'm all doing this with good intentions. If you don't appreciate it, forget it. Why bother? curse!"
Not only did Qian want to scold her, but she also rolled up her sleeves and planned to push this disgusting thing out. Fortunately, she was stopped by Shen Luzhu on the side, otherwise the elders of the two families would really make a move. My hands started to fight. This is easy to say but not nice to hear!
Especially now is a critical period for Chu Ping to mediate. If this spreads out, others must not think that Qian is an evil mother-in-law!
"Don't worry, cousin. Can you let your niece-in-law have a few words with her?"
Qian had always liked Shen Luzhu, and knew that with her intelligence and energy, she would not let her family suffer. It just so happened that she was too lazy to deal with the shameless Tang family, so she might as well just leave it to her, so she twisted around. She and Chu Xiuxiu continued to clean up together, treating each other as nothing.
"So what you, the Tang family, mean is that you regret it now and want to get engaged to our Chu Ping again?"
"Well, the main thing is that the two children are pitiful. They were originally attracted to each other, but because of a little accident, it was a pity that they didn't get married in the end. As the old saying goes, it would be better to demolish ten temples than get one marriage! "
Shen Luzhu seemed to nodded in agreement: "There is some truth to it... If your Tang family insists on getting our Chu Ping engaged, it's not impossible."
Before Mrs. Tang could react, Qian was stunned for a moment and called Shen Luzhu in a daze: "My nephew-in-law, this..."
Shen Luzhu cast a calm look at Mr. Qian, and pretended to persuade in a low voice: "Auntie, listen to me, Chu Ping really should find a girl and settle down. Now is a good time, otherwise In the future, when the whole village knows that the government will not allow the sale of our paper money, the business will not be completed, and there will be no additional source of money, then this marriage will probably be difficult to handle. Let me see, we might as well settle it now One, it will be too late to know by the time..."
Although Shen Luzhu's voice became quieter as he spoke, Mother Tang, who was supposed to hear it, heard every word without missing a word. Only then did Mother Tang notice the paper money piled randomly on the ground. At first glance, the paper money was still on the ground. , how can we still continue to do business?
"Wait a minute! What did you just whisper to her? The deal can't be completed? The government won't let it? What does this mean?"
Shen Luzhu immediately showed a guilty expression as if he had been caught, and explained in a panic: "No, no! Aunt Tang, you heard wrong, I mean your Yuzhen is such a good person, it would be a pity to miss her, Getting married early would be better for both parties, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang's mother didn't believe her even more. Just now, the Tang family was shouting, and now they are calling her aunt just to deceive her. There must be a trap. His family has been asked by the government not to do this. After the sale was completed, she would have nothing to hope for in the future. Who would decide on this marriage with his family, she couldn't decide!
"Hey, Aunt Tang, where are you going? We haven't finished talking yet. When will we go to your house to hire someone?"
Seeing Mrs. Tang running away, Shen Luzhu and Qian looked at each other and burst into laughter!
