The population of Nian's family is very simple, with only four people. Her husband's name is Zhao Shusheng, known as Zheng Laogener. The couple has a son and a daughter, and their daughter is Zhanchang, named Zheng Cuihua. A few years ago, she married to the next village and divorced her son, Zheng Cong. She will be eighteen years old this year, which is the age of marriage.

Nian is several years younger than Meng, and she looks much younger. Her body is also very tough and she can do heavy farm work. She can make a few pairs of tiger-head shoes to add some input to her family. In general, Nian is a thrifty person who can't stay idle.

Zheng Laogener is very similar to Sang Hushi. He is silent and dull. He is a well-known honest man in the village. He doesn't like gathering people to chat and brag, so he likes to walk around the fields with a hoe every day. There is almost no grass in the fields. People often laugh at him for treating the crops in the fields as their ancestors.

Zheng Cuihua, who has married, is a man with Nian, and is frugal and can't live a leisurely life. Before she gets married, she is the most popular daughter-in-law candidate in the village. She is both virtuous and capable. After she gets married, she quickly gains a foothold in her husband's house and has a good relationship with her husband's family.

As for Zheng Cong, his appearance and temperament are exactly the same as his own father Zheng Laogener. The only difference is that he has some talent in studying. A few years ago, he was sent to school by his family. His dull and dull temperament did not change at all, but he added a nerd spirit and said something a little pedantic.

In the scholar exam last year, Zheng Cong passed the exam for Tong Sheng. Unfortunately, he didn't know if he didn't learn enough or had some luck. He did not pass the college entrance examination and was still studying in the school, just waiting to participate in the college entrance examination to win the fame of the scholar.

The Zheng family has good conditions. There are more than 20 acres of fertile land alone, and more than 30 acres of dry land. During the busy farming period, people have to be hired to help. Without enough production, it is impossible to afford a scholar.

But it is for scholars, and the annual expenses are several times higher than those of ordinary families. The Zheng family is not very rich, and they only eat a few more meals of meat than other families every year.

Of course, such conditions are not as good as Zheng Lin's family, and the Zheng family is ranked first. Since the Zheng family released the news that they wanted to tell Zheng Cong about their marriage, famous matchmakers nearby have frequently come to the door and talked about no less than ten girls to Zheng Cong, but in the end they were not decided.

After hearing this, Sang Ye, who originally wanted to match Zheng Cong and Yue Niang, felt that the Zheng family had a high vision, so he stepped down without saying a word. Unexpectedly, Nian would actually like Yue Niang, and even came to the door in person and asked herself to go back to her parents' home to find out, which really surprised and happy.

It’s not that she just likes the Zheng family and must promise Yue Niang to Zheng Cong. It’s that the Zheng family’s actions can eliminate the negative impact of Yue Niang’s resignation from the Zhang family to a certain extent.

Regardless of whether Sang or Zheng's family can become a relative, as long as the Zheng family's gambler's wish to marry Yue Niang is released, those long-tongued women who mutter behind their backs that Yue Niang has ruined their reputation and cannot marry can completely shut up.

Nian is a cheerful person. After seeing Sang Ye, he politely said a few words, which explained his purpose. At the end, he said a little embarrassedly: "Auntie originally wanted to invite a matchmaker to the house, but he was afraid that it would make your parents embarrassed if it would be too ostentatious, so he found you here. In this way, even if the marriage failed, he would not cause rumors to your parents."

Sang Ye thought that Nian could speak, and hurriedly said, "Auntie said it very well, it's really great."

When Nian heard this, she knew that Sang Ye had agreed to go back to her parents' home and said that she had a wrinkle on her face for a moment: "Okay, okay, I'll thank you here first. If you can get married, I'll give you a big red seal alone."

Sang Ye smiled and said, "Auntie, you are polite. Yue Niang is my sister. I wish she could find a good family in-laws. If our two families could become in-laws, it might be a marriage that was given to God."

Nian was very happy when she heard this. She praised Sang Ye and praised Yue Niang from head to toe and felt embarrassed to praise Sang Ye.

However, Sang Ye was not overwhelmed by Nian's praise. She pretended to be moved while Nian was happy and said, "Auntie, you know what happened to my girl. It's either I praise her. My girl is good everywhere, but she is too lucky and has a tired reputation by the Zhang family. Just because of this, my parents cry a lot on weekdays. I didn't expect that my aunt didn't care about the gossip outside, and I was also happy..."

Nian is also a wonderful person, so

Hearing Sang Ye’s implication, he leaned over and whispered: “Our two families are not outsiders. Now I don’t hide it from you. It’s my little demon star who has met your sister before, so I asked my aunt to give me a speech.”

Sang Ye's face changed drastically, and his eyes looked at Nian showed a somewhat undetectable scrutiny: "Aunt, you can't say such words... If it is spread, my sister will probably drown the other people's spitting stars!"

Whether it is the previous dynasty or the present, it is a taboo to privately teach and receive each other. If this is said, others would only think that Zheng Cong and Yue Niang had something privately. If it is more serious, they would think that Yue Niang had fallen in love with Zheng Cong and resolutely wanted to withdraw from the Zhang family. By then, Yue Niang would be blamed for her bad reputation.

Nian did not know Sang Ye’s concerns. She said hurriedly: “Don’t worry, my aunt will never talk about such things! Besides, these two children have met once and did not do anything beyond the rules. My aunt just told you that our Zheng family is interested in your girl, and no one cared about the things she had encountered before.”

Then, Nian explained the process of Zheng Cong and Yue Niang's acquaintance in detail. Of course, all of this was told by Zheng Cong himself, just to persuade Nian to go to the Sang family to propose marriage, otherwise he would not say it even if he was beaten to death according to his nature.

It turned out that once Yue Niang went to the town to buy things with Mu and others, and accidentally saw an elderly old man twitching and stuttering on the ground. At that time, Yue Niang was the first to rush up and help the old man up, regardless of the dirty things in his mouth and nose, so that he would not block his trachea and die.

This scene happened to be seen by Zheng Cong, who went to the book club to buy books, and helped hire a doctor, and the two had a brief intersection. However, they didn't know each other. Even if they had an inexplicable throbbing with a woman for the first time, Zheng Cong dared not rashly ask Yue Niang about her reputation, for fear of being abrupt.

Not long ago, Yue Niang came to Zheng's house to visit Sang Ye. The two met again outside the village by chance. Zheng Cong, who had been tortured by love for several months, finally mustered up the courage to ask about Yue Niang's identity. Yue Niang did not dare to outweigh the courtesy, and only said that she was from Lijia Village and did not tell Zheng Cong his name.

Zheng Cong was a bit smarter. He secretly went to Lijia Village to inquire and finally knew who the girl he loved was. So, after the matchmaker came to the door again to say he was rejected by him, the same year finally told the truth.

What Nian did not say clearly is that before that, she did not have a good impression of Yue Niang. Not to mention whether Yue Niang's parents died early, was the fate of defeating her father and mother, just the incident of breaking up with the Zhang family before makes people feel that this is not a worry-free girl.

But the matchmaker who came to the door these days talked about no less than ten girls, and none of her son looked down on her. She was forced to do so and said blushingly that she fell in love with the goddaughter of the Sang family. Her mother-in-law only said "the reputation is not good." The silly son was so anxious that he wanted to kneel on the ground and begged her to go to the Sang family to talk to the matchmaker.

This was the first time her silly son begged her when he was eighteen years old. When he saw that he refused to agree, his eyes turned red. How could the mother be the one who was a mother to say no? She took a few days to go to Lijia Village to find out about Yue Niang's character. After seeing that Yue Niang was completely different from what she imagined, she gradually changed her prejudice against Yue Niang and finally came to Zheng's family to ask Sang Ye to make a statement.

If the Sang family had this meaning, the two families could discuss marriage openly. If it went well, the marriage would be settled before the autumn harvest, and the wedding would be held only when Yue Niang was filial to the next year.

Knowing the cause and effect, Sang Ye didn't know what to say. Finally, under Nian's earnest gaze, she sighed and smiled: "I'm afraid it's a God-given marriage... Aunt, I will tell my parents about this matter in person, no matter what my parents plan, I will know my aunt."

Nian was overjoyed and kept saying "Okay", but thought in his heart that he had finally failed his stupid son's expectations, so he had to go home and tell him the good news here!
