Chapter 407 The Vain Little Aunt 7
"You can get up now. Help with something when you have time. Don't just lie in bed and eat for free."
Apart from being kind to her own precious daughter, Mrs. Xiang indiscriminately attacked any member of the Xiang family.
The harsh words made Xiang Qingcao really want to turn around and go back to the house on the spot.
Just thinking that he needed money to buy things, he had to go forward and face the old woman.
"Grandma, don't leave yet. I have something to tell you."
"Ok?"
Wang Lan looked at her daughter and didn't know what she said. At first, she looked at the old woman with a bit of impatience on her face.
She looked at Xiang Qingcao with disdain in her eyes, but she didn't expect that after Xiang Qingcao said something, this old lady's eyes would light up and her face would be filled with relief?
She rubbed her eyes vigorously to make sure she was not hallucinating.
Then something even more unbelievable happened to Wang Lan. Mrs. Xiang actually went back to the house and gave money to Xiang Qingcao.
It looked like it was more than fifty cents, but when handing it to Xiang Qingcao, Xiang Po hesitated for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Qingcao patted his chest and said something, and the other party handed the money to Xiang Qingcao.
When Xiang Qingcao returned to the room with the purse, Wang Lan immediately pulled her over and started asking questions.
"What did you say to your grandma just now? Why did she give you money so willingly?"
He counted coins towards the grass with a smile on his face.
"Has mother forgotten about my aunt? My aunt is fifteen now, the same age as me, and will be discussing marriage in the next two years. I just mentioned my grandmother's family and asked my uncles to help me find a marriage."
"What does the Wang family do? They often work in the kitchens of wealthy families. Aren't all good marriages with rich people? Grandma always talks about finding a good husband for little aunt. How can the matchmakers in this village be as good as those in town?"
"Grandma heard that I wanted to ask my aunt to go to my grandmother's house to make a request, so she immediately took out three hundred coins to give me some money, look!"
When Wang Lan saw the three hundred coins in front of her, she was still a little bit unbelieving.
But she quickly realized that Xiang Qingcao was trying to fool Xiang Pozi.
She never mentioned the marriage proposal to Qingcao when she went back to her parents' home in the past two years.
"No, you have to return the money. Every time we go back to the Wang family, we just have a meal and leave. When did we ever mention arranging a marriage for you? Aren't you lying to your grandma?"
Unexpectedly, Xiang Qingcao said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with cheating? Who made her biased? I just want to get back what I deserve."
"When I make more money, I will return the money to her. If it doesn't work, I can just say that I didn't see a good family. Isn't that enough? Mom, you are making a fuss."
Am I really making a fuss out of nothing?
Wang Lan thought that it was wrong for Xiang Qingcao to lie to Xiang Pozi, but at the same time she agreed with what Xiang Qingcao said.
His daughter suffered in vain, and the fifty cents should have been compensation to her.
He just looked at the extra copper coins and sighed, knowing clearly what kind of person his mother was.
He assured Wang Lan on the spot, "Don't worry, mom. I won't spend money recklessly. If there is any extra money left, I will return it all to you."
At the same time, in the main house, Mrs. Xiang was holding the box with a distressed look on her face.
Ah Zhi at the side couldn't help but ask, "Mom, why did you give Qingcao so much money just now? I've never seen you be so generous on weekdays. If my second brother and his wife knew about this, they would definitely make a scene again."
After seeing the magical operation of Xiang Pozi, Ah Zhi finally believed what she said.
That is because the parents are unkind and the children are unfilial. If Xiang's mother-in-law had not failed to treat everyone equally, this family would not have become like this.
Putting the box away, Xiang Pozi took a deep breath and said, "It's all for you!"
This sentence made Ahzhi stunned.
Xiang Pozi walked over to Ah Zhi and continued, "Wang Lan has no money, but the Wang family is indeed not simple in the town. They are engaged in the poultry business."
"When a wealthy family wants to buy chickens, ducks, and geese, the Wang family will deliver them to that family. Even though delivering chickens, ducks, and geese is not an easy job."
"Compared to us farmers who work in the fields, the Wang family knows a lot of rich people. I didn't like Wang Lan back then."
"That look is really enough to make people unable to sleep. Who can blame her for having such a good family? I just didn't expect the Wang family to be so stingy with their daughter. They only gave her two quilts when she got married."
When it comes to things that make him uncomfortable, he can't stop complaining to his mother-in-law.
Ah Zhi reminded helplessly, "Mom, why are you talking about the past again? I think my sister-in-law is a good person, hardworking, sensible and filial. She and my brother are both down-to-earth people."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm old now and I can't stop talking about these things. I gave her the money for your marriage. Daughter, you're already fifteen and you're getting more and more beautiful."
"If I really let you marry a country boy, I would feel wronged. My daughter deserves the best. If the Wang family keeps paying attention to Xiang Qingcao, I would like them to help you keep an eye out for him."
It turned out that he wanted to find a good marriage for himself, otherwise how could he be willing to give three hundred coins to the old woman?
The plot mentioned the follow-up of the three hundred coins. Xiang Qingcao only mentioned the marriage proposal in order to appease Xiang Po. In fact, the Wang family had never arranged a marriage for Xiang Qingcao.
As Xiang Yun turned sixteen, Mrs. Xiang became a little anxious.
It just so happened that in order to curry favor with the wealthy Su family, the Wang family actually gave away Xiang Qingcao's birth date and horoscope.
The eldest son of the Su family has been ill for many years. The fortune teller mentioned that he needed to be cleansed and also wanted a woman with a pure yang destiny to marry him.
The Su family is a prominent and wealthy family in the local area. Their ancestors had a Jinshi degree. Now they have cloth shops in many places and do a lot of business.
When the Wang family sent chickens, ducks and geese, they accidentally heard the Su family looking for a horoscope, which happened to match Qingcao's horoscope.
The Wang family planned to marry Xiang Qingcao off to the Su family. As long as Xiang Qingcao married into the Su family, the Wang family would also benefit.
In order to prevent Xiang Qingcao from being unwilling to go home, the Wang family chose to conceal the news that the eldest son of the Su family was seriously ill, and deliberately designed to let the second son come forward.
Wang Lan and Xiang Qingcao misunderstood that the second young master was the one she wanted to marry. Afterwards, Wang Lan was touched by her brothers and sisters-in-law's concern for Xiang Qingcao, and was very satisfied with this marriage.
When the matchmaker from the Su family came to the door, he seemed very happy.
The Su family was very sincere and sent all the betrothal gifts very early, including a betrothal gift of 500 taels of silver.
I thought things would go very smoothly, but unexpectedly, Mother-in-law Xiang started to make trouble.
He thought that he had given three hundred coins to Qingcao and promised to help find a marriage for his daughter, so such a good marriage should be for his daughter.
Just as Xiang Po was making a scene, Xiang Qingcao discovered the true nature of this marriage.
When Xiang Po continued to make a fuss, she pretended to be embarrassed and proposed to give the marriage to Xiang Yun.
