Chapter 86 Fighting Qi

After selling the cakes, Du followed Taohua's family back to the village, and told everyone that he had found a good marriage for Lihua. Zhang couldn't stop it, so he followed her. Anyway, everyone would know sooner or later.

"It seems like I'm afraid that people won't know." Taohua glared at Du.

Du said she didn't see it at all. Anyway, she felt that the more people she knew, the better. By then, the road was already done, and she would have to marry for the reputation of Lihua. She didn't want any more changes in the middle.

After they separated from Du, the family returned home and Aunt Li also arrived.

In the kitchen, Aunt Li asked Zhang while talking, "How is it? It seems that the younger generation is good when Du said?" As she said that, she glanced at Lihua and whispered, "You Lihua are willing, too?"

Zhang nodded, "Yeah, it looks good." Then he told me about meeting Li Qingyuan in the morning. Anyway, it was just that the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

"That's about the same thing, then Mrs. Du finally did a good thing." Aunt Li was relieved. After all, she has been neighbors for more than ten years, so she was also happy to see Li Hua and her children grow up.

Then he talked about Li Hua's dowry. In the past, life was not good, and Zhang didn't dare to think too much. He just thought that his daughter could find a good family. Now that life is better, he has some money in his hand, so he naturally wants to buy more for his daughter. Li Hua couldn't help but blush when she heard her mother discussing her dowry with Aunt Li.

Peach blossom quietly walked to Lihua and screamed "Ah".

Lihua was just worried, and was so scared by the loud shout in her ear that she almost threw the fire stick in her hand on Taohua. Fortunately, Taohua hurried away when she saw the opportunity, otherwise she would have to be injured.

This movement scared Zhang and Aunt Li, and quickly asked. Li Hua also asked with concern where she was injured.

"No, no. OK." Taohua said, with a bitter face, "I originally wanted to scare my second sister, but I didn't expect to scare myself. Alas!"

"This girl!" Zhang and Aunt Li smiled bitterly.

When she knew that Lihua was embarrassed, Taohua didn't tease her anymore. She couldn't help her and went out.

"I wonder if the swallows are at home?" Taohua jumped out of the yard and walked towards Aunt Li's house. If it weren't for a long trip, most people wouldn't lock them, so Taohua easily pushed the door in. After shouting a few times in the yard, no one responded. It was probably because she ran out to play. Taohua had nothing to do, so she left the yard and walked upstream along the Qingshui River. The village was busy building schools, and most of the children went to watch the fun if they had nothing to do. Maybe the swallows were there.

As we got closer, the voices gradually became noisy. Sure enough, we saw a large group of children running around the newly built stone bridge. As soon as a child approached the house built, they were scolded by the adults. Peach blossoms couldn't help but become excited. If Jing Shengming was born to attend class in the future, he would have to come and see it often. He couldn't help but get closer. As soon as he walked across the stone bridge, he saw two little kids running towards him.

"Sister Taohua."

"Sister Three!"

Mingsheng and Saburo seemed to run to him, bared their white teeth and smiled happily, and without waiting for Taohua to answer, they ran to the distance again. Taohua looked at them with a funny look and shouted behind her: "You guys are slow!" I don't know if they heard it.

The smile on Taohua's face had not yet been withdrawn. Seeing that the inside was also in front of her, Su Puyuan and a construction foreman were pointing at a drawing and talking to the school under construction. The contractor nodded frequently. As if he had finished explaining, Su Puyuan stood and looked at it for a while before turning around and was about to go back. When he turned around, he saw Taohua.

Taohua hurried forward and said obediently: "Grandpa Su!"

"Haha, it's peach blossoms, how is the business at home?" Su Puyuan said kindly.

"Thank you Grandpa Su for your concern, it's all okay." Taohua replied.

"Well, your parents are diligent and dedicated, and I think it's good." Su Puyuan nodded and smiled at Taohua again: "I heard that you had organized the purchase of acacia flowers in the whole village a few days ago. You can lead the whole village with the means to make money. This is not easy."

"Grandpa Su has gone too far, and we are also trying to make more money by ourselves." Taohua told the truth.

Su Puyuan nodded with a smile, his eyes were filled with seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, and stretched out his palm to touch Taohua's head.

"If everyone had your ideas, life would be better." He said that.

Taohua looked at the departing back and smiled.

After looking around, I didn't see the swallows, and I stopped looking for peach blossoms. Seeing that I had been busy for so many days, I had just laid a rough foundation. I was afraid that the school would be still some time before it was completed. But I was not in a hurry. There were still some days before school started in September, so peach blossoms walked around for a while before going back.

The days that followed were busy and joyful.

The marriage between Li Hua and Li Qingyuan was officially confirmed and was scheduled for 20 next month. The matchmaker also gave the betrothal gift two days later. The betrothal gift was very generous at the time, with a total of five taels, two pairs of chickens, two males and two females, twenty pounds of pork, two eight pounds of heavy fish, four jars of wine, a box of four-color sugar, two silk cloth, and a gift box filled with gold jewelry.

"This Wang family is really a wealthy family! Look, look, I'm right, your daughter can enjoy happiness after marrying her!"

Because they were telling the other party that they were two sisters, the matchmaker directly put the betrothal gifts of the sisters to the old house of Jin's family, and then asked someone to notify Jin Dazhong. Taohua's family rushed there. As soon as Du saw Zhang, he pulled her and said nothing.

Jin Dazhong and Zhang were also shocked, not expecting that the other party would give such a tribute. However, they were even more satisfied.

Then the Jin family kept the matchmaker and a group of relatives of the man who gave the betrothal gifts for dinner. Liu was willing to do it this time and did a lot of work. Mr. Jin sat in the main seat and smiled happily. He was also very happy that his two granddaughters could marry a good family. Although he didn't like Du on weekdays, now, he is getting more and more happy.

Taohua and a group of children sat alone at the table. This time the Jin family's juniors gathered together. Jin Yu'er still looked tall and looked cold to Taohua and pear blossoms. She was better when she saw her younger brother Zhan Peng. Yuantang Yuanbao only cares about food and drink, and didn't care about the others. The dishes on the table were all harmed by their chopsticks. Jingsheng and Mingsheng were so angry that they didn't say anything. They didn't care about this little food anyway. Lihua sat obediently and ate the rice in the bowl quietly.

Zhan Peng couldn't help it anymore, and knocked on the table with chopsticks and said, "Yuantang Yuanbao, can you not be so unreliable? It seems like a starving ghost is reincarnated, and it looks embarrassing!"

"We eat ours, what do you do?" Yuantang stuffed a mouthful of food and tried to swallow it before glaring at Zhan Peng angrily. He naturally knew that this brother, who was about the same age as him, looked down on him. Who made him not good at studying and had no brains? But he didn't care. It was still what his parents said, eating and drinking was the most important thing.

"That's it." Yuanbao said as he deliberately stirred the chopsticks to the plate of dish in front of Jin Zhanpeng, and then picked a piece of meat out.

"You!" Jin Zhanpeng blushed in anger. He was about to do something, but was stopped by Jin Yu'er and looked at the table on Mr. Jin.

"Hmph!" Jin Zhanpeng snorted and turned his head to the side.

Yuantang Yuanbao hummed at him proudly, but they were not afraid of him anyway. Wouldn't it be better to rely on their studies than themselves? What's so proud of yourself! Yuantang thought without any fault.

Jin Zhanpeng is fifteen years old, and he is at the age of rebellion. How could he bear it? Since he didn't let himself eat, he wouldn't let them eat it. He picked up the chopsticks and poked all the dishes randomly. After poking, he sneered at Yuantang Yuanbao.

Taohua looked at the three brothers in amazement. It seemed that she would not have a good meal in the old house. Jingsheng and Mingsheng also put down their chopsticks.

"Stop making trouble, there are still outsiders here." Jing Sheng frowned.

Seeing Jingsheng saying this, Jin Yuer was dissatisfied with it, glanced at Jingsheng and sisters and said, "You can't say that. It seems that Yuantang Yuanbao will not be allowed to eat for the first time. How can we say it together with Zhan Peng?"

"I didn't say you again, so why didn't I say that much!" Jing Sheng looked at her coldly. He had never liked this sister, and he was even more disgusted with her when he was almost burned by the fire last time.

"Hmph, will this be fierce to me? Don't forget that it's my mother's credit for your sister to marry a good family!" Jin Yu'er smiled at Lihua, and a trace of unidentified light flashed in her eyes. "Lihua, then you must call me "sister-in-law"? Haha."

Lihua looked at Jin Yu'er and didn't say anything, after all, she was telling the truth.

"It's just a title." Taohua said expressionlessly.

"This is not just a title, the so-called eldest sister-in-law is like a mother!" Jin Yu'er said to Taohua meaningfully.

Taohua couldn't help but frown. I really don't know whether this marriage is right or wrong?
