Chapter 182 Asking about Liu Dali

"It's okay. I'll go to the market with him in a couple of days and bring back some purses and silk nets to make."

Zhao Sanniang looked at Shen Ping's back under the shed and raised her lips slightly.

Ji Wenhe looked at her out of the corner of his eye, taking in her entire expression.

At this time, Lan Qiuhua came over from the east with a smile on her face. It seemed that Shen Guyan and Xie Fenglian agreed.

He waved at her from a distance, and when he came closer, he said with a smile: "I saw you remembered, I should look for you, Sanniang."

"Looking for me?" Zhao Sanniang looked puzzled. "What do you want from me?"

"I want to ask you about Liu Dali."

Her husband's family is from Baiyun Mountain and they live in the same village, so they must know what kind of person Liu Dali is.

"Sister Lan is here to help Liu Dali find a marriage partner?"

"Exactly."

Ji Wenhe took over the conversation: "Aunt Lan, has Gu Yan agreed?"

Just as she finished her words, she saw Shen Guyan appear on the southern hilltop carrying a basket.

Seeing her looking over, he waved at her vigorously.

"Aunt Lan, Aunt Zhao, you guys chat."

She trotted to the southern foot of the hill.

"Sister-in-law, Aunt Lan came to my house and asked me about finding a marriage for me. My grandmother agreed."

"She said that as long as I gave her three taels of betrothal gifts, she would agree to marry me."

Ji Wenhe held her hand and found two rocks to sit on: "Did Aunt Lan ask you first, or your grandmother first?"

"He asked me first, but grandma overheard it. She heard that Liu Dali was a hunter and said that he would marry me as long as I could afford a betrothal gift of three taels."

She made a 'tsk' sound.

She should first call Shen Guyan out and ask him secretly.

You are such a grown-up, why do you still like to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations?

Well, she had done the eavesdropping thing, so she couldn't tell anyone else about it.

He turned to look at the person next to him: "What about you? What was the first thought in your mind after you heard it? Are you willing?"

Shen Guyan nodded: "I am willing, I think Aunt Lan is right."

"Without my parents-in-law, no one would bully me and make me work day and night."

"I like to eat meat. If I marry him, I can eat meat every now and then."

Ji Wenhe looked at her seriously: "He has a reputation of bringing bad luck to relatives. Sister-in-law is not cursing you. To put it bluntly, if you marry him, he will..."

She smiled and shook her head: "I'm not afraid, I think that's just rumors."

"Just like Brother Rongshan, the villagers said he was dead, but Brother Rongshan came back safe and sound."

"They are very good at talking. Many of the things they spread are outrageous and cannot be believed completely."

She will be fifteen after tomorrow. She has the ability to distinguish right from wrong and will not believe everything others say.

"Guyan, Uncle Ping's wife, Aunt Zhao, has lived in Baiyun Mountain. Aunt Lan is asking her about Liu Dali."

"Don't worry, if Liu Dali is not a good person, I will ask Brother Shen to find a way to prevent him from marrying you."

Ji Wenhe was a little annoyed. He should have thought things through more carefully.

Shen Guyan tilted his head and blinked his eyes: "Is sister-in-law unhappy?"

She shook her head: "I'm just worried that you won't have a good life after you get married."

After all, she was also involved in this matter and said some things that made Lan Qiuhua so anxious to go to their house to ask.

"Sister-in-law, you are so nice. You worry about me, but mother doesn't."

Her mother is afraid of her grandmother and listens to her grandmother in everything.

Ji Wenhe pushed the hair behind her ears and listened to her again.

"I'm used to it. My family is only nice to my two younger brothers."

When she was young, she didn’t understand why her family didn’t like her. Later, when she grew up, she gradually understood that it was because she was a daughter and was a money-loser in their eyes.

"Guyan, you are great. You know a lot that I don't. Don't underestimate yourself."

"If you encounter any problems in the future, just come to me. If someone in the village bullies you, don't be afraid."

"People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. You can scare them with a knife, but you can't really hurt them. Otherwise, if you report it to the police, you will go to jail, understand?"

Shen Guyan nodded and held his chin: "Sister-in-law, I like talking to you."

Because she can feel who is truly doing good for her and who is just being insincere.

Ji Wenhe touched her head and said lovingly, "When you have free time in the future, you can come and play with me. I don't know if I should tell you something."

"Sister-in-law, you speak, and I listen."

After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "What do you think about your husband's family after you get married?"

"After getting married, I don't want to come back." Looking up at the sky, sadness flashed in his eyes.

"My family doesn't like me. I don't want to be criticized by them when I come back. I've heard what the aunties in the village say."

"I will fulfill my filial duty, but I won't allow you to give good things to my brothers."

"My grandmother always said that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, so don't even think about bringing things from your parents' home to your husband's home."

These words were said about her mother, but they also apply to her.

Ji Wenhe now hates Xie Fenglian to the extreme.

"Sister-in-law, am I wrong to think this way? They gave birth to me and raised me, and I actually treated them like this."

"Sister-in-law, I can't say whether it's right or wrong. I can only say that you should follow your heart and do what you want, but at the same time, don't let people say that you are wrong."

He turned to look at her: "Can you understand what I mean?"

Shen Guyan pondered for a long time, then nodded and said, "Well, I understand what sister-in-law means. I am also very smart."

Ji Wenhe gently pinched her ear and said with a smile: "Well, Gu Yan is the smartest."

Then he stood up and looked at Lan Qiuhua and Zhao Sanniang, who were still talking.

"Gu Yan, I'll go and listen to what they have to say. I'll also take this matter to heart."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go find some wild vegetables."

"it is good."

After saying goodbye to her, the two people over there also finished their conversation.

Shen Ping and Zhao Sanniang came towards them.

"Uncle Ping, Aunt Zhao."

"Hey, Rongshan's wife, let's go back." Shen Ping said with a smile.

Ji Wenhe nodded and went straight to Lan Qiuhua's house.

"Aunt Lan, what did Aunt Zhao say?"

"Come, sit down." Patting the small stool beside them, the two sat under the eaves.

"I heard from your Aunt Zhao that he is a good person, not a boaster, his house is very clean, and he is willing to endure hardships."

"When the villagers asked him how to set traps, he taught them truthfully without hiding anything."

"I never hang out with those second-rate people. On weekdays, when I have nothing to do, I don't go into the mountains. I go looking for wild vegetables with a few hunters I'm friends with."

"So, he is indeed a good person." Ji Wenhe held his chin with both hands. "Brother Shen will go to Baiyun Mountain to sell goods tomorrow. I will ask him to ask around."

"This concerns Shen Guyan's entire life, so you have to ask carefully, otherwise you will harm her."

Lan Qiuhua agreed: "We need to find out more carefully."

"Oh, by the way, Aunt Xie asked his family to pay three taels of betrothal gifts. As long as they pay three taels, Gu Yan will marry him."
