After being divorced, I took care of my two children and reached the peak of my life

Chapter 192 Why Haven’t You Proposed Marriage Yet?

After hearing what Er Yue said, Da Niu suddenly stood up, and his movements were so fast that he almost overturned the table in front of him.

"Mother, mother, mother...".

When Aunt Zhang saw her son's silly excited look and Eryue's blushing face in front of her, her heart was filled with joy and she quickly spoke.

"Okay, okay, let's sit down and eat first. It's getting late today. We will go to town tomorrow to buy some betrothal gifts for February..."

When Er Yue heard that Aunt Zhang was going to prepare a betrothal gift for him, he spoke nervously.

"Aunt, I, I don't want it. I can marry Brother Da Niu..."

But before Er Yue could finish her words, she was interrupted by Aunt Zhang.

"Silly child, what are you talking about? What girl would marry without a betrothal gift? Don't worry, your aunt won't treat you unfairly."

Seeing that Aunt Zhang insisted, Eryue didn't know what to say and could only nod slightly with a red face.

When Danniu saw that Eryue agreed, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. Fortunately, Aunt Zhang was quick to help and pushed him back into his seat.

"Why are you so irritable, kid? Come eat quickly and have a rest early. We will go to town early tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Daniu quickly picked up the bowl...

After dinner, Eryue helped Aunt Zhang clean up the dishes and then went back to her room to rest.

Da Niu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He was extremely excited when he thought about going to town tomorrow to buy a betrothal gift for Eryue.

The next morning, Eryue went to the town with Aunt Zhang and Daniu, but the situation in the town made the three of them feel a little scared.

The streets that were once bustling were now empty, and most of the shops were closed.

The grain shop was crowded with people, and some of them even brought their own children with them. They would come forward to ask questions whenever they saw someone, and from what they said, it seemed that they wanted to exchange their children for grain.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the three of them frowned deeply. They didn't know that this flood had forced everyone to sell their children.

At this moment, Aunt Zhang was even more grateful to Yun Xiao and Han Yiyi. Aunt Zhang didn't want to see such an uncomfortable scene anymore, so she pulled the two of them and prepared to turn around and leave. However, as soon as she turned around, someone pulled her sleeve.

"Sir, do you want to buy someone? My girl just turned ten this year. Not only does she eat little, but she can also do any kind of work. All I want is, just one or two taels of silver..."

Aunt Zhang came to the town today to buy a betrothal gift. She was so happy that she put on the clothes that she usually didn't want to wear. Although they were not made of expensive fabrics, they had no patches. That was why she was pulled by someone.

Aunt Zhang's brows furrowed even more as her sleeve was pulled. She saw a skinny girl, about the same age as her own daughter, being pulled by a middle-aged man, staring at her with a dull look. Aunt Zhang felt distressed.

But her family could barely make ends meet, so how could they afford to hire someone? She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, so she just quickly pulled Da Niu and Er Yue away.

After this incident, Aunt Zhang's joy in preparing the betrothal gifts disappeared, but in order not to let February down, she still dragged her to the cloth shop.

There was only one cloth shop open now. When the owner saw someone coming in, he hurried over with a smile. When he knew that they wanted fine cotton cloth, his smile deepened a little. There was nothing he could do. From the time it started raining until now, not only had no one come in to buy fine cotton cloth, but no one had even come in.

But this is not difficult to understand. After all, people can't even afford to eat, so why would they think of buying these inedible things?

Aunt Zhang originally wanted to buy some more things, but seeing the current situation in the town, she didn't dare to stay any longer. After buying the cloth, they hurried back to the village.

After returning home, Aunt Zhang first went back to her room, took out something wrapped in cotton cloth from the closet, and then went to February's room.

Then he took February's hand, put the thing in February's hand, and said with a kind face.

"Fei Yue, take this thing. I originally wanted to buy you a new one today, but you have seen the situation in the town. Now I have to inconvenience you. But don't worry, if there is a chance in the future, I will buy you a better one..."

Eryue took it subconsciously, but when she saw that the package contained a silver bracelet, she quickly refused.

"Aunt, this, this is too expensive, I can't accept it..." Before she finished speaking, tears fell. She knew that if it weren't for Aunt Zhang's family, her current situation would definitely not be better than the girl she saw in the town today. No, she might have starved to death in the mountains.

"Okay, stop crying, put it away quickly, don't lose it..."

Seeing the kindness in Aunt Zhang's eyes, Er Yue actually knelt down.

"Aunt, thank you. You are so kind to me. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. Don't worry, I will take good care of Brother Da Niu in the future..."

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang hurriedly pulled the man up.

"Silly child, what are you doing? You will be with Da Niu in the future. We are a family. Not only do you have to take care of him, but he also has to take care of you. A family should take care of each other..."

After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Er Yue's voice choked with sobs and he nodded heavily. He secretly swore in his heart that he would be filial to Aunt Zhang and Daniu in the future.

The relationship between the two was settled. Aunt Zhang asked the village chief to look at a date and chose the fifth day of the next month.

As soon as Aunt Zhang left, the village chief frowned. It had been several days since Wang Xiaojiang expressed his feelings, but for some reason, no matchmaker had come to propose marriage yet. He wondered if something had happened, or if his family had changed their mind.

After waiting for another two days and seeing no movement, the village head and his wife became restless.

"What do you think that boy meant? Maybe he went back and thought about it, and then felt that our Lanhua was not worthy of him, so he changed his mind..."

Hearing what his wife said, the village chief frowned. It was they who first proposed this marriage. Although their Lanhua was beautiful and had good character, her personality was indeed not quiet enough.

"No, I have to ask Yi Yi to help ask that boy what he really thinks. If, if he really regrets it, I can't let our Lanhua suffer this injustice." The village chief said, and got up to go out.

"Hey, wait for me, I'll go with you," said the village chief's wife, and stood up as well.
