Chapter 412 Wen Zizhou Proposes Marriage

"I heard that the Xie family's daughter is quite accomplished, and her daughter is even more accomplished."

"They were right to say that such a small bowl of meat would bring back so many good things."

Chen Jinyin no longer objected to Wu Ya'er going to the Xie family, having heard that Xie Lao Er was about to open a restaurant.

Wow, this means a steady stream of income from now on!

The vegetables from the fields also sold for a lot of money, and the new house is spacious; things will only get better from now on.

No loss, no loss! You're not losing out no matter what!

She was looking out the door with a smile on her lips, her mind racing with calculations. Wu Ya'er could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her like that.

"What's it to us!"

Wu Ya'er retorted with this, her tone exactly the same as Xie Jinghua's at noon.

Chen Jinyin was unaware of what had happened at noon. Hearing her say that, she assumed that Xie Jinghua was just being stubborn, since Xie Jinghua was not susceptible to any seduction.

"Mom's just saying, just go do what you're supposed to do."

She didn't object this time, but then Wu Ya'er said, "I'm never going to see Xie Jinghua again. What's so great about him!"

Wu Ya'er is beautiful. Even if she doesn't become the respected wife of a scholar, she can still marry into a wealthy family and become a rich lady. Why bother to fawn over someone who doesn't appreciate her?

Look at that youngest brat in the Xie family! He's so small, yet he already knows how to bully her with his words!

Chen Jinyin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought he had misheard.

She tried to call out to Wu Ya'er, who was heading into the room, but Wu Hailin emerged from the kitchen and retorted, "If you ask me, don't bother looking for her. You'll only disturb her studies!"

From his perspective as an outsider... well, let's not even go along with it. Xie Jinghua has absolutely no interest in his daughter.

He saw it today too. From the moment they entered the door until Xie Jinghua came in, the girl didn't give him a single glance or say a single word.

If it weren't for his sake, that kid might have said even more hurtful things.

Since Wu Hailin, the head of the family, had spoken, Chen Jinyin had no choice but to give up, but he still felt it was a bit of a pity, after all, it was a piece of meat that was getting fatter and fatter.

She sat down and ate everything in the basket in a fit of pique, enjoying the meat and sweets so much that she didn't have time to think much.

After staying one night, the family was about to leave. They didn't have any relatives to visit, so their next task was to go to the prefectural city to propose marriage to the Song family.

Old Man Xie transformed into a second Xie He, constantly talking about Wen Zizhou from home until they got on the carriage and he stopped.

"Zizhou, you've always been a worry for your mother since you were little. You can't be so disobedient this time."

"Once things are settled and a date is set, let Grandpa know, and we'll go to the wedding banquet too."

Xie Laodie knew very well how much trouble Wen Zizhou caused his mother. Once, he was scolded by Xie He for fighting with his younger sister Wen Luozhi over food.

What was the result? Running away from home late at night...

After traveling for three days and three nights to reach them, Xie He thought something had happened to the child, so she cried and searched, and didn't dare to close her eyes for three days.

Finally, he sent Wen Zizhou back and was shocked to see Xie He, who had become extremely thin.

Wen Muchuan, the son-in-law, gave his willful son Wen Zizhou a severe beating, and after starving him for three days, he never dared to run away from home again.

In the past, Wen Zizhou would have found it annoying, but now, after listening to Old Man Xie's words, he readily agreed and became extremely obedient.

"Brother Zijin, I will come to the prefectural city after the New Year," Xie Jinghua said to Wen Zijin.

Last night, his family gathered together to discuss it, and in the end, they all supported his decision to study in the prefectural city.

The place is bigger and the study conditions are better. Although the expenses will be higher, they have nothing to worry about given their current situation.

Wen Zijin patted his shoulder and nodded with a smile.

The family went back home. When they came, there were two horse-drawn carriages, and they were slowly making their way back.

Chen Jinyin craned his neck at the door and watched the two carriages drive away, exclaiming, "They're gone! They're gone!"

Looking at the luxurious and fully loaded carriage, she felt a pang of envy. "Sigh, how come they're so lucky?"

pity! What a pity!

Yesterday, she saw several young men in the carriage, each with an exceptionally good temperament. Their family business was also quite large; if she caught one of them, she wouldn't have to worry about food and drink.

"Xie He's sons are all quite good, and his daughter is too."

She went inside and said something, but Wu Ya'er glanced at her and didn't reply.

Not bad? Someone who looks better than a woman is obviously dishonest.

He wasn't her type either, being big and burly.

There's another one who seems to have an excellent temperament, but he always has a stern face and looks very old-fashioned, probably even worse than Xie Jinghua.

To be clear, Wu Ya'er really didn't go to see Xie Jinghua for the next few days, and Huan Ge'er was actually the happiest.

He had seen Wu Ya'er deliberately fall down too many times, but no one believed him, even though he was just a little kid.

That's good, the young man won't be disturbed while studying anymore.

The others were the same; they had all dealt with Wu Ya'er before and couldn't understand why such a nice girl would be so stubborn and persistent in clinging to her.

Wu Ya'er didn't visit her relatives either, because she was afraid that if Xie Jinghua came to his senses and came looking for her, there would be no one there.

Little did she know that she was completely overthinking things; the other person didn't care about her at all.

Except for Wen Zi'an and Jiang Shuqian, the entire Wen Luozhi family had gone to Qingzhou County, and the small courtyard that Wen Zizhou had bought suddenly became lively.

They rested well the first day and then brought their things to our door the next day.

Song Youqing was already waiting at the door with his men, and he was extremely satisfied to see so many of them.

After exchanging pleasantries, they began unloading the items from the carriage.

Besides what she brought from home, she also bought things in Qingzhou County. Along the way, Wen Luozhi bought whatever she thought of, and they were all precious and rare items.

It took quite a while to move everything, and Li Yunwan was somewhat stunned when she looked at the long list of gifts.

That's a huge show of sincerity! Even if Song Youqing didn't agree, they'd smash him until he did...

After Song Chengguan got off the carriage in Wenzizhou, he clung to him the whole way. The usually quiet little boy suddenly became very talkative.

Song Tingwan was very reserved today, but her gaze never left Wen Zizhou.

After serving tea to Song Youqing and Li Yunwan, he sat down next to Song Tingwan and took her hand in a very open and generous manner.

Song Youqing immediately felt uncomfortable, his face showing an expression as if his own little cabbage had been eaten by a pig.

Wen Zizhou didn't care about anything else. He took out an exquisite hairpin from his pocket and gently inserted it into Song Tingwan's hair.

"I made this myself; you can't buy it anywhere else!"

He looked like he wanted praise, and Song Tingwan's eyes lit up as she touched the hairpin in her hair.

"I knew Zizhou was the best, I really like him."

Her voice was soft, and it tickled Wen Zizhou's ears.

Although Song Tingwan often beat him up when they were together, she made him feel more accomplished when she praised him.

The wedding date was set for three months from now, a few days after Song Tingwan's birthday.

The restaurant is in Qingzhou County. Even after getting married, Wen Zizhou will still have to come back.

After thinking it over, Wen Luozhi still bought a large courtyard for Wen Zizhou, but it wasn't until a few days later that this happened.

Wen Luozhi only took out the land deed when they were about to leave for home.
