Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11817

"Qing'er, didn't Wuyou whisper anything to you in private?"

It must have been Yang Ruoqing's reaction that aroused Zuo Junmo's suspicion, so he asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "That girl hasn't mentioned a word to me. In fact, she hasn't come back for more than half a month. The last time I saw her was during the Mid-Autumn Festival. She came back for a meal and then went back to the camp."

Zuo Junmo thought for a moment and said, "It's not about favoring outsiders. No matter who kisses you, they can't kiss you as much as you and her."

"She's probably grown up and is too embarrassed to talk to you about these things."

"Hey, marriage is a big deal, you have to tell your parents first. By the way, Brother Zuo, you didn't come here today just to formally propose marriage, did you?"

"Is that alright? That's exactly what we were thinking!"

Yang Ruoqing said, "Marriage is certainly possible. Our two families have already discussed it. However, to officially agree and go through the formalities, we'll have to wait for my Luo Fengtang to come back. He's the girl's father..."

After saying these words, Yang Ruoqing was in a dilemma again.

why?
Since Luo Fengtang left his hometown, he had been able to keep in touch with his family through letters. The last letter he wrote was two months ago, in which he said that he had received a mission to be relocated, so he might not be able to communicate with his family in the near future. He told his family not to worry and that he would give them an explanation once he settled down.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and there has been no letter inquiring about Dazhi's scientific expedition. Yang Ruoqing has no idea where he is.

However, Yang Ruoqing continued to lie to her elders on both sides of the family, saying that Luo Fengtang had kept in touch with her and that he was doing well, so that the elders would not worry.

"Qing'er, don't worry, I understand. Let's just consider our visit today as a friendly exchange, and let's reach an understanding again."

Zuo Junmo smiled and said unhurriedly, "Last time it was an agreement we reached with you and your husband. This time, it's an agreement I reached with the two elders of the Luo family, as well as Wuyou's grandparents."

"So that everyone in the surrounding villages knows that Wuyou is our Zuo family's future daughter-in-law!" "We'll formally propose marriage when Brother Fengtang returns! How about that?"

Yang Ruoqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a good marriage with the Zuo family must be cherished; it can't be allowed to fall through.

“Brother Zuo, your willingness to stand in our women’s shoes and put yourself in our shoes is enough to prove the sincerity and magnanimity of your Zuo family.”

“I feel bad that so many of you have made this trip for nothing. Although my great-grandfather is here and is the head of the family, my daughter is the apple of my son Tang’s eye. I would never dare to arrange a marriage for my daughter while he is not at home. I will make him do the knocking.”

Zuo Junmo smiled and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand. Our trip wasn't in vain; we can also enjoy the scenery."

"You said it yourself! You must stay at my house for a few more days this time so I can show you the hospitality of a host!"

And so, Zuo Junmo and his party settled down at the Luo family's house.

Yang Ruoqing sent someone to the mountains to call Luo Wuyou back, saying that her uncle from the Zuo family was coming to visit and she needed to come back to entertain him.

When Luo Wuyou returned, Yang Ruoqing seized the opportunity to call her into her room, and Wang Cuilian and Sun Shi also followed.

Before Yang Ruoqing could even ask, her great-grandmother and grandmother had already eagerly jumped in to ask.

Wang Cuilian said, "Baby, the Zuo family originally came to propose marriage, but your father isn't home, so they can't."

Madam Sun then added, "Bao, are you willing to marry Jinling? If you are truly willing, then nod your head. If you are even slightly unwilling, or if you have other considerations, then speak up. Our family, your parents, are the most open-minded people. We cannot force you on such an important matter as marriage!"
