Chapter 482 Inquiry
The Qin family is a powerful family that has built an industry and has excellent character. If his Lu family does not act quickly, such a good in-law will definitely be snatched away by Zhoujia Village!
"Propose a marriage?" Grandpa Qin was shocked. Before he could react, Patriarch Lu started talking on his own.

"You have two cousins. Coincidentally, I have two good girls of the right age. One is Lu Fengshou's younger sister. You still remember Lu Fengshou, right? He was the strong, dark-skinned man who helped measure the land when the Lu family sold it last year."

"Although he looks stout, he can actually write and do math. His younger sister can also read. Although his family conditions are a little poor, they are all hardworking and very harmonious."

"Sixth Lu is an excellent needlework girl. She has been following her sister-in-law in weaving, patchwork and appliqué since she was ten years old. Both of them can earn two hundred coins a month with this skill."

In the countryside, for a woman, earning 200 coins a month is considered a great achievement.

"The other one is my brother's youngest daughter. She can not only write and count, but also embroider. My daughter Jiuya learned embroidery specially. Now she can earn more than a hundred coins a month by embroidering and weaving."

"Her mother is old, Jiuya still helps her mother keep the small accounts of the family, and occasionally helps me sort out the big accounts of the Lu family... I'm not bragging about my own daughter, my Jiuya's accounts are very accurate, and she has never made a mistake. When it comes to accounting, she is better than my Dawen."

“That’s right…” Patriarch Lu really wanted to marry into the Qin family, so he told the truth: “Jiuya is not our biological daughter, but my third brother’s daughter. When Jiuya was three years old, her mother died of a woman’s disease. When she was seven years old, my third brother was bitten by a poisonous snake while plowing the field and also died.”

"How could her two brothers raise a girl? After discussing it, we adopted Jiuya as our daughter and have raised her till now."

After saying this, Patriarch Lu was worried, fearing that Grandpa Qin would look down on his daughter Jiuya for having no parents and being unlucky.

He said hurriedly, "We old couple treat Jiuya as our own daughter. Ever since she was adopted by us, we have started preparing her dowry. She has all the gold, silver, and land as a dowry... When we prepared these, we told Dawen and his family. They had no objection and said that when our sister gets married, each of their families will give her more dowry."

Grandpa Qin was moved by Patriarch Lu's sincerity and said with a smile, "Thank you Patriarch Lu for thinking highly of the Qin family. When I go back, I will tell my sixth cousin and his wife that no matter whether it works out or not, I will give Patriarch Lu a reply within half a month."

"Don't worry, don't worry. Marriage is a big deal. It's normal to wait for a month or two." Patriarch Lu was very happy, but he was afraid that if he was too happy, the Qin family would think that girls from the Lu family were worthless, so he suppressed his joy.

However, he couldn't suppress it, not at all, hahahaha, this time, he finally got ahead of Zhoujia Village. When old man Zhou finds out, he will probably be mad to death, hahahaha!
"Clan leader Lu, are you okay?" Grandpa Qin interrupted him quickly because he was afraid that he would choke from laughing.

Chief Lu treated him as one of his own and was not afraid of being laughed at, so he told him the reason.

After hearing this, Grandpa Qin said: "...Brother Zhou never mentioned the matter of marriage."

It would be better if I didn’t mention it. If I didn’t mention it, it would be a good deal for my Lu family!

"Hey, what are you two doing hiding here?!" Huang Yanglong suddenly jumped out and looked at Chief Lu up and down: "Chief Lu, are you bullying Mr. Qin? Do you want to be the second Chief Wu?"

Chief Lu was furious: "Pah, pah, pah, who are you cursing? If I have even the slightest desire to become the evil Wu, let me be reborn as a pig in my next life!"

Huang Yanglong snorted: "We can't see what you will be like in your next life, so you can say whatever you want."

Patriarch Lu: “…”

Not to mention others, he wanted to sew Huang Yanglong's mouth shut!

Grandpa Qin hurriedly said: "Master Huang misunderstood, we were just chatting."

Huang Yanglong looked around with a look of disgust: "Chatting in the place where townspeople dump garbage, you old people have a very special hobby."

Patriarch Lu looked at Grandpa Qin apologetically: "..."

It's his fault. He just rushed in here because he saw this place was remote.

Grandpa Qin shook his head and laughed, and asked Huang Yanglong: "Young Master Huang, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Huang Yanglong asked, "Are you going to the restaurant for a feast? The clerk Guan has ordered a top-notch meal to reward Doctor You and invited me to go."

Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "No, I have already declined the invitation of the clerk Guan when I was in the clerk's office."

There were many things to do at home, and during the banquet, the clerk was probably going to talk to Doctor You on behalf of the government, so he and Dalang decided not to join in the fun. Huang Yanglong saw that he was not going, so he said no more, said hello to Jiang Dalang, and left, just as suddenly as he came.

Grandpa Qin and Patriarch Lu also went back to their respective homes.

……

After arriving home, Grandpa Qin called Qin Laoliu and his wife.

It was dinner time, Qin Laoliu and Qin Liupo were so happy that they secretly vowed to eat a big meal at Fifth Brother's house tonight!
After the meal started, they swept away half of the food on the table in the blink of an eye like locusts passing through a land.

Qin Xiaomi sneered: "The meal money will be deducted from the dividends."

"It was your grandfather who invited my wife and I to dinner. If you want money, go to your grandfather!" Qin Liupo said with great confidence.

"..." Qin Xiaomi looked at Grandpa Qin: "Grandpa, why are you doing this?"

Could it be that he suddenly remembered his childhood and felt emotional, so he wanted to maintain a relationship with his cousin's family?
Grandpa Qin originally wanted to talk about it after dinner, but when asked, he simply said: "Patriarch Lu wants to marry into the family of my sixth brother..."

He repeated what Patriarch Lu said.

Grandma Qin was delighted to hear this: "That's great. Ying and Jie are both old enough, they should have started a family long ago."

If they had not fled the famine, Shu Jie'er, Mei Jie'er, Ying Ge'er and Jie Ge'er would have been married long ago.

Qin Xiaomi also agreed: "The Lu family is a big family in this town. They are one of the four village chiefs, and they also have a clerk and a runner. Marrying into the Lu family will help us take root in this place. Most importantly, the Lu family has good character."

"Xiaomi is right. I also think the Lu family is great." Grandpa Qin nodded repeatedly and asked Qin Laoliu and his wife, "Sixth brother, sixth brother's wife, what do you think?"

Qin Laoliu still said the same thing: "I will listen to Fifth Brother. If Fifth Brother says yes, then we will get married."

His grandfather said that if you listen to your fifth cousin, your family will not have a bad life in this life.

His father also said, listen to your fifth cousin. If something goes wrong, you can still blame your fifth cousin and let him cover it for you.

Fortunately, these words were not spoken, otherwise Qin Laoliu would have been beaten up by Qin Xiaomi and Qin Ershu.

Qin Liupo began to speak in a pretentious tone: "It sounds good, but if you look closely, both of them have problems... Lu Fengshou's family is poor. If I marry his sister, I have to help Lu Fengshou's family. How much money will my family have to give?"

"Although Lu Jiuya was adopted, she is only the niece of Patriarch Lu. Although she has a dowry, her parents died when she was young. Maybe she is unlucky..."

"Sixth brother's wife!" Grandma Qin interrupted Grandma Qin and said angrily, "Sixth brother's wife, you are a girl, don't you know that saying this will ruin a girl's life?!"

Qin Xiaomi also said, "Sixth Aunt, if your family is willing, let's go and find out. If not, just refuse. Don't stare at the girl's sad place and find fault... I also lost both my parents when I was young."

Qin Liupo's heart sank. Oh no! She had forgotten that Xiaomi's parents were also gone.

Then I heard Qin Xiaomi say, "You still dislike Miss Lu? A wicked mother-in-law like Grandma Liu would make a girl run away overnight."

Qin Liupo was so angry that she said, "What's wrong with me? I have a mother-in-law like this. I don't know how good it is!"

Haha, several people present sneered.

Little Jiang Erlang suddenly raised his head and looked at her with shock, his face showing: Qin Liupo, how can you say such crazy things?
