Early the next morning, Jiang Yue's legs seemed to have run away from home. If he moves even a little bit, he will shake violently.
Before she went to bed, she had obviously done stretching massage for half an hour, but she still felt uncomfortable after sleeping. My legs were swollen and painful, and I felt like I was going to cramp.
In this situation, she definitely wouldn't be able to enter the mountain.
She should just feed the little piglets the old pigweed at the foot of the mountain.
Like an old man suffering from cerebral thrombosis, Jiang Yue moved slowly, stiffening her body and pulling grass.
I don't want to move my lower limbs at all.
"Sister Xiaoyue!"
There was a little girl sneaking over like a thief. She was panting and finally found someone.
Why are you acting like Pingya? What kind of shameful thing is it to come to her? Jiang Yue turned back, a little surprised, not quite recognizing who she was.
But the other party came closer, and as soon as she spoke, Jiang Yue knew whose little girl it was.
"Sister Xiaoyue, my mother has something to say to you. The matter is important, so I asked you to sneak over."
It's really a shameful thing.
This must be Aunt Yan's youngest daughter. Her face resembles that of her mother's, round, blessed, and lively. The way he covered his mouth with his hands and whispered to her was cute.
She nodded in response, "Okay, I understand. I'll be there in a moment."
She carried the pigweed back first so that she wouldn't have to go to the bottom of the mountain again later. She always felt like she had blisters on the soles of her feet.
I don't know where Uncle Jiang's family members have gone recently. They are not at home and are very quiet, but this makes it easier for her to come and go without anyone watching.
She took a detour to reach Aunt Yan's house.
Aunt Yan's expression was not as relaxed as before. Before she could ask, Aunt Yan said.
"I heard the news that the one over there has been found. There is a family in the town who is looking for a new wife. The bride price can be 5 taels of silver."
The one over there refers to the funeral matchmaker.
The person who wanted to marry me was an only son. He had been weak since he was a child, and he managed to survive until he was 18 years old. I don’t know who had a conscience and gave him the advice, saying that he should find someone with a strong destiny to marry him, so that the young master could live safely. Over 20 years old.
The family has been looking for it for a month, and they are not satisfied with the people they found. Many matchmakers know this.
I don’t know how the funeral matchmaker negotiated with the other party this time, and she agreed before even meeting the person.
As for the betrothal gift, it was quite high.
In the countryside, when marrying a wife, the bride price is usually only 2-3 taels, but in the town it will be about 1 tael more. Therefore, a betrothal gift of around 5 taels is considered very tempting in this area. Moreover, the woman is not required to bring a dowry.
Jiang Yue pursed her lips, so quickly? It seems that the funeral matchmaker is quite capable.
Aunt Yan added, "I have a few people here whose character can be guaranteed. Please listen to them."
"good."
"The first one is from Yamato Village next door to us. He is the eldest of three brothers in the family. He is 16 years old this year. The two younger brothers are 10 and 4 years old."
Okay, let's get rid of this directly, she doesn't want to be a cheap stepmother. The plot about a sister-in-law being like a mother is not suitable for her.
Seeing that her expression didn't change, Yan Gu didn't know whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied. He is so stable at such a young age.
"The second one is from the town. He has both parents. He is the only son in the family. The first three sisters are already married. They all live together in the town, not far away. But they promised not to come back to criticize, and occasionally I can still help."
Jiang Yue didn't believe this. She went to the countryside to find a wife from the town, and even took the initiative to tell her that her aunt would not come back to tell her what to do. This must be the case. Maybe he’s still a mama’s boy, there’s definitely a preference for boys over girls. I can’t complain that I can’t find anyone around me...
"The third one is from my natal family in Changshan Village. His parents are both dead. He built three large tile-roofed houses through his own efforts and bought 6 acres of fertile land at home. He is very down-to-earth and hard-working."
Jiang Yue's eyes lit up. This sounds pretty good. With her own hard work, her parents have died, she has land and a house. As for the car, she can earn it.
"but......"
Yan Gu paused and looked at Jiang Yue. Although the other party was now thin and frail, she looked dry. But from the perspective of her experience as a matchmaker for more than ten years, Jiang Yue has a good foundation. As long as she takes good care of herself, she will be a beauty who cannot escape.
"But he is only five feet tall and has a dark complexion. Don't worry, he has a strong body and can work better than an ox."
As soon as Jiang Yue heard this, the shadow of Wu Dalang flashed in front of Jiang Yue, a "strong man" who was more than 1.5 meters tall...
Her heart trembled.
These people, according to the current standards for choosing a son-in-law, are all passable, even pretty good. But Jiang Yue couldn't bear the thought of living with such a person, "three meals a day."
It's not as lovable as that little flower pig. It still has meat to eat after it's grown up.
She politely rejected Aunt Yan.
Yan Gu sighed and said she would continue to help her take another look. But they all knew that it was too late. Marriage has to go through a process, and they are already talking about it.
Jiang Yue has also given up on getting married.
Now she only has about one or two taels of money on hand, less than half of it. She can't wait to go into the mountains to make money to buy a man!
Or, she might as well set aside some of the things and sell them. Get over the current level first, and then think about the next thing.
She entered the mountain and ate steamed buns as she walked.
She was preparing for the worst, or if she got desperate, she would just run into the mountains and live a secluded life.
It's just that during natural disasters, wild beasts run rampant in the mountains, doubling the danger.
But the outside world may not be safe.
Jiang Yue's thoughts were complicated and she got lost as she walked. She didn't know which fork in the road she had reached.
But she was not in a hurry. The road was made by people anyway. Maybe the medicinal herbs grow better in this corner where no one cares.
She covered her bare face with her sleeves and walked through the tangled trees. A beautiful small valley appeared in front of you.
"Crash-"
There is actually a small waterfall with steep cliffs and fast water flowing down from nowhere.
She walked over and saw that the water in the mountain was crystal clear and ice cold. She washed her dirty face and hands with water.
In order to protect herself, she didn't dare to wash herself off at Uncle Jiang's house. His hair and face were unkempt every day, and he looked no different from those people in the village who took a bath once a month.
At this moment she really wanted to jump into the water and rub the mud off her body with soap.
Where there is green grass and water, the plants grow especially lush.
Why don't you look for it in this small valley? Maybe there will be unexpected surprises here?
She walked around the giant stone in front of her and saw no trace of ginseng or any rare medicinal materials.
However, there is a naked man with eight-pack abs! Sit on the shore and look at her.
It’s really a surprise!
