Mother Song was immediately overjoyed. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ji Mingtao was a suitable candidate: because of his background, he had not yet gotten married in his twenties, and no one else in the village dared to marry their daughter to him for fear of being implicated by his background. But their family is not afraid. Eight generations of their Song family have been poor farmers, and their roots are growing.
Moreover, if Ji Mingtao married into their family, that element would naturally come with their family. Wouldn't he be able to get rid of his identity as a landlord's son?
I guess Ji Mingtao knows that there is a way to get rid of his origin, and he is willing to do it, right? After all, he couldn't even marry a wife because of this issue of caste. If he got married, wouldn't it mean that changing his caste and marrying a wife would kill two birds with one stone?
Song's mother became more confident and didn't think Ji Mingtao would reject her. If she found out that her family liked him, she might even shed tears of gratitude and couldn't wait to get married.
Song's mother immediately decided to take the matchmaker to Ji Mingtao's house after work today to propose marriage. If she fell in love with this, she had to make an appointment. Otherwise, what would happen if others also thought of this idea?
So Song's mother couldn't wait to get off work and go home now. Unfortunately, it was only the afternoon and she was still far away from work, so she could only hurry up.
But although she was anxious, it did not prevent Song's mother from observing Ji Mingtao. They said that the mother-in-law became happier the more she looked at her son-in-law. Song's mother was also like this now. The more she looked at Ji Mingtao, the more satisfied she felt. She was secretly happy that she had discovered it all at once. To see this dusty pearl, you must know that except for the bad ingredients, Ji Mingtao is good in everything else.
Mother Song was glad that his poor background meant that no one cared about him. Otherwise, with his appearance and ability, if there was no problem, there would be no way he could take advantage of her eldest daughter. Maybe there would be many people vying for him to be their son-in-law. Woolen cloth.
Ji Mingtao was digging sweet potatoes with sweat dripping down his back. He felt something was staring at him inexplicably, like a ray of light on his back. He frowned and looked around vigilantly, pretending to be casual, but he was surprised. He found that the person staring at him was Song Huizi's wife.
Song Huizi's wife just lost her husband last month. Does she have any evil and dark thoughts about herself? Ji Mingtao endured his nausea and observed carefully for a while, and found that Mrs. Song's eyes did not look at him with any lust or greed, but seemed to look at him with scrutiny, consideration, and a little bit of satisfaction and love?
Ji Mingtao was puzzled. He had little contact with Song Huizi's family. He didn't know why Song's mother looked at him like this. But seeing that she had no ill intentions towards him, Ji Mingtao had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart. Ignore it.
Mother Song looked at Ji Mingtao's strong and powerful arms waving the hoe, and nodded with satisfaction. He was healthy and strong, and he was a good worker. After marrying into his wife, the family would have more strong laborers. Mother Song could not be satisfied with him. ?
After deciding on the candidate, Mother Song approached her daughter who was pulling sweet potato seedlings with her, lowered her voice, and said to her eldest daughter with a smile: "Big girl, I have found a good candidate for my wife, Ji Mingtao, how do you think?"
"Ji Mingtao? Mom, he is the only one left in his family. Will he be willing to marry into his wife?" Song Darniu asked.
"Then why is he unwilling? Does he still want to pass on his status as a landowner? Even if he wanted to, no one would marry into his family's miserable pit. Our family is willing to let him marry into his wife. That's because we think highly of him. He can still Refuse?" Mother Song said confidently.
Then she touched her eldest daughter's shoulder and whispered, "Ji Mingtao is digging sweet potatoes on the side behind you. Can you see if he likes it?"
Hearing this, Song Da Niu turned to look behind her and saw the tall and thin Ji Mingtao wearing a straw hat. Lines of sweat flowed down from his perfectly shaped chin, and then flowed to his slender neck and rugged collarbone...
Song Da Niu immediately felt as if her eyes were burned, and said with a blushing face: "What do you like or don't you like? Mother, don't talk nonsense."
When Mother Song saw her daughter's reaction, what else didn't she understand? He immediately said with a smile: "As long as you like it, there is nothing bad about Ji Mingtao except his background. When he joins our family, we won't have to work so hard and can relax..."
Listening to the admiration in her mother's words, Song Da Niu couldn't help but feel hopeful. She had never noticed Ji Mingtao before, but when she noticed it today, she was immediately attracted to him. He was handsome and capable, and compared to Ji Mingtao. The rude and dark boys in the village are much prettier and gentler, and there is no one else at home, so she will not have to face her mother-in-law in the future...
Song Da Niu's heart was beating fast and her face was hot. She didn't know whether it was because of the strong sun or other reasons.
Seeing her daughter's absent-minded and shy appearance, Song's mother immediately became happy, and she couldn't wait to propose marriage to Ji Mingtao.
So after work was over, Song's mother left in a hurry. Song Da Niu looked at her mother's back, and couldn't help but look at Ji Mingtao who was leaving with a hoe, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.
When Ji Mingtao returned home and had just washed away his sweat with water, he saw Mother Song coming to the door with the matchmaker from the village.
Impatience and irritability flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and returned to his previous calm.
"Why do you two aunts have time to come to see me today?" Ji Mingtao welcomed the people in, poured water, and asked.
"Oh, we're here, of course we have a big event coming to you!" the matchmaker said with a smile, looked at Ji Mingtao for a while, and praised,
"The eldest nephew is really talented and handsome. No wonder Song Huizi's family immediately took a fancy to you as their son-in-law!"
Ji Mingtao lowered his eyes and understood. No wonder Song's mother looked at him like that before. It turned out that she wanted her to be her son-in-law.
Mother Song looked at Ji Mingtao and praised her eldest daughter with a smile:
"Our eldest daughter is the eldest daughter in the family. She is the most sensible and capable. She takes care of everything inside and outside the house neatly and clearly. I don't have to worry about it at all. The affairs of the younger sisters are also taken care of. She is taking care of it. After getting married, she will definitely be a good wife and mother, and she will take care of the house properly...
Ji family boy, I won't be vague with you anymore. I want you to come into our family. Our family only has four daughters and no sons, so we wanted to find a son-in-law to support the family and prevent the orphans and widowed mothers from being bullied.
Don't worry, after you get married, you and Da Niu will have the final say on everything in the family. Da Niu's three younger sisters will all get married in the future, so they won't have anything to do with you.
Of course, the child born should be named Song. After all, the eldest daughter is the eldest daughter and has the responsibility to continue the Song family. What do you think? "
"I don't think so. Aunt Song, I have no intention of marrying into someone else's family. You have found the wrong person." Ji Mingtao said expressionlessly.
Seeing his expression, Mother Song's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said, "Don't refuse in a hurry. We can talk about it again."
