The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 272 Sending Grapes

Even little Ayu was curious: "Big brother is so amazing, does he need to find two sisters-in-law?"
"Fourth Uncle! Where did these two girls come from? Don't accuse me wrongly!" Wang Dalang waved his hands frantically, almost stamping his feet in frustration. "I didn't!"

He's already worried so much about one girl that his hair is turning white; if another one comes along, he might as well not get married at all.

Their family is just an ordinary farming household. Do they really want to be like those landlords with multiple wives and concubines? That would be a joke!
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Wang Chuanman took a deep breath and said before the old lady Wang could roll her eyes at him, "I mean, there were originally two girls. One girl was a matchmaker from Dahe Village who came to propose marriage, and the other girl was the one that Dalang recently met."

This only confused everyone more.

After resting enough, Wang Chuanman told the whole story.

It's actually quite simple: the Wang family's life gradually improved, especially the news about their house and shop, which spread throughout the villages.

There are basically no secrets in the village. Nowadays, the villagers of Hujia Village are very tight-lipped, but they can't keep their opening of shops a secret from people in other villages, since everyone has to go to town.

The people of Dahe Village had already rented land from the Wang family, and now that they saw the Wang family could open shops directly in town, they already considered them as equals to landlords.

Compared to the previous Hujia Village, Dahe Village is relatively wealthy. Among them is a Liang family who have raised several daughters, two of whom are 15 years old. One comes from the second branch of the family, and the other comes from the fourth branch.

Originally, the girl to be betrothed was from the second wife's family. Everyone said she was a diligent and honest person.

But when the matchmaker was about to arrange the marriage, she changed her story and said it was the fourth daughter.

Along with the girl who went to Hujia Village with the matchmaker, there was also the fourth daughter.

“If that’s the case, then so be it. After all, all girls are the same, it’s just a matter of character,” Wang Chuanman said. “But what’s strange is that Dalang wasn’t home that day. He happened to be looking at land in Dahe Village and, together with the second wife’s daughter, they rescued a child who had fallen into the river.”

In the countryside, people aren't so particular. As long as it's not a lone man and woman alone in a room, and the two of them go into the river to rescue someone, it's not considered a big deal if they don't hug or kiss when they get ashore.

At most, it might feel a little awkward when others mention it later, but it will never affect one's reputation.

The girl who saved the man didn't initially say she was from the Liang family, but others pointed it out, and Wang Dalang assumed she was the one who wanted to marry him.

He had a good impression of the girl, so when he got back, he told Wang Chuanfu that he was willing to marry the girl from the Liang family.

It turned out that the woman he wanted to marry was a different person from the one the matchmaker brought to him.

This created an awkward situation, the most awkward part being that both girls were willing to marry Wang Dalang.

That's how the current situation came about.

"I didn't realize you were so talented, Dalang." Wang Chuanman patted Wang Dalang on the shoulder. "You're one of a kind in our family!"

Especially when he thought about how he had wasted several years of his life and how not a single girl had been willing to marry him, Wang Chuanman felt a pang of jealousy.

His eldest nephew, who seemed unassuming, had unexpectedly pulled off a major feat.

Grandma Wang: "Say less, no one will think you're mute! We sent you to investigate things, not to gossip about the Dong family and spread rumors about the Li family."

"Yes, Chuanman, tell me first, what are those two girls like?" Old Wang frowned. "We can't marry a troublemaker. Maintaining a family is not easy, but destroying one is all too easy."

A harmonious family is essential for prosperity, especially for Wang Dalang's wife, who is the eldest grandson's wife. Given their family's current situation, they might rise to prominence in the future.

At the very least, he could become a wealthy local landlord. But if Wang Dalang married a terrible wife, she would bring down the entire Wang family in the future.

"If you ask me..." Wang Chuanman analyzed the situation together, while the children below also discussed it.

According to Wang Chuanman, the fourth wife was a bit cunning and manipulative; she may have deliberately pushed aside the second wife and gone to Hujia Village to propose marriage.

The second wife wasn't weak either. Whether it was intentional or not, she met the eldest brother and left a good impression on him.

By all accounts, the second wife is better; at least she's a smart person, right?

"Ayu, who do you want to be your sister-in-law?" Wang Erlang asked little Ayu directly. Without thinking, little Ayu replied, "The one who helped my older brother save people."

"why?"

"A person who saves others must be a good person, and I like good people."

The Wang family members thought about it and realized that what Ayu said made sense. Regardless of whether it was scheming or not, they were just two 15-year-old girls, so it was normal for them to have some little thoughts.

However, a person's kindness cannot be faked; at least in critical moments, one's true character is revealed.

Grandma Wang: "Eldest son, what do you say?"

Wang Dalang's face, which was originally tanned, turned as red as if it were about to bleed. He lowered his head, looking slightly shy, and said, "I'll listen to Grandma."

"Then let's bring the girl from the second wife to town sometime, and we'll see what happens."

The old man was right; maintaining a family is not easy.

If I really have no other choice, I'd rather marry a fool.

Of course, if even Dalang isn't satisfied, then we'll look for something else.

Now that the Wang family is doing well, not only the current matchmakers, but even those matchmakers who had grudges against the Wang family in the past would probably rush over to establish a good relationship.

This matter was temporarily put to rest, and they were just waiting for a few days for the matchmaker to bring the person to town.

Wang Chuanman was still bothered by the verbal marriage between Xiao Ayu and Qin Huai, but after being sent to Dahe Village by Old Lady Wang, he thought about it again and fell asleep that night.

The next morning, I had to rush to Manager Zhou's place and completely forgot about the matter.

A few days later, Wang Chuanman was halfway there when he was filled with regret: "Oh dear, I forgot to ask in detail! That brat Qin Huai just kidnapped my daughter, I even broke his legs!"

"Achoo!" Qin Huai, far away in Wannian City, suddenly sneezed violently.

Red Armor hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, have you caught a cold? Would you like to put on another layer of clothing?"

Qin Huai waved his hand: "I'm fine, no need to trouble yourself."

Speaking of which, Qin Huai hasn't fallen ill even once in the months since he returned to Wanning City from Nanhe Town.

Even if he was sick, he was faking it to mislead everyone in the mansion and avoid some social engagements he didn't like.

His body has become better and better as he has been practicing martial arts. Even Chi Jia and the others were secretly shocked. The young master's physique is now very suitable for practicing martial arts. It is no exaggeration to call him a martial arts genius!
"Take a look at how to decorate the grapes that were sent to your residence today, and send them to Nanhe Town," Qin Huai said casually while flipping through a book. "Ayu has probably never eaten them before, so let her try them."

Red Armor: "Yes."

The grapes were incredibly fresh; I heard they were a gift from the emperor, and even with the fastest horses, it would take them more than a month to be transported from Wanning City to Nanhe Town.

We still won't know if it's broken or not by then.

But never mind, since it's meant to be given to Miss Ayu, any trouble is worth it.

At worst, we can just stuff a few more bunches of jade grapes in there. If the real grapes go bad, at least we can still admire the jade grapes.

As luck would have it, Little Ayu was in the space at that moment, drooling over a picture of grapes.

"Honey, buying grapes directly isn't cost-effective. Let's buy some grape seeds and grow them ourselves."
