Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 249 Qu Jiang's Marriage

Not two days after Qu Jiang arrived at Maoer Mountain, he followed Qu Shaoyang to Tadian.

A few days after returning from Tadian, he followed Liu Dongshan to Yingkou, and he had just returned not long ago.

Qu Jiang is an honest man and he doesn't like to wander around the streets talking nonsense, so not many people know him.

Of course, if someone wants to find out, they can still find out.

Especially since Qu Shaoyang handed over the warehouse business to Qu Jiang, many people outside were curious.

After asking around privately, I found out that this was Qu Shaoyang's biological brother.

"Oh, yes, that's Shaoyang's third brother, who came from his hometown." Lin Ruolan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.

"How old is that boy? Does he have a wife in his hometown?" Yang continued to ask.

Lin Ruolan glanced at Old Zhou's wife and laughed, "What's the matter? Do you like Shao Yang's third brother?
That child is quite honest and works well. But you don't have a daughter, so what's the point of asking about this?"

"My niece from my mother's side is sixteen years old this year. She is pretty and hardworking and capable.

I think the young man is pretty good. If he doesn’t have a wife in his hometown, I can ask my sister-in-law to help him reconcile. "

Right now, there are countless people who want to establish a relationship with Qu Shaoyang, and the Zhou family is no exception.

Although Qu Jiang doesn't have much ability, he has a good brother in Qu Shaoyang.

Qu Shaoyang was only in his early twenties and he had already become an inspector. His future was limitless.

With such a backer, Qujiang will have a good life in the future.

If the marriage goes through, wouldn't the Zhou family and the Qu family be relatives?

Whenever Qu Shaoyang hires someone in the future, he will definitely choose from his relatives first. Wouldn’t the Zhou family benefit from that?

As soon as Yang said that, Lin Ruolan remembered who it was.

Last spring, Yang's younger brother moved here with his family from Shandong to live with his sister and brother-in-law, and finally settled in Hulutao.

During the Chinese New Year this year, the Yang family came to the Zhou family to pay New Year's greetings, and Lin Ruolan happened to visit the Zhou family and met the Yang family.

As far as I can remember, the Yang family had seven or eight children, three of whom were girls. The oldest one was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She should be the one that Yang mentioned.

Lin Ruolan didn’t have much impression of what the girl looked like, but at that time, she saw that the girls were all quite well-behaved.

To be fair, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou are both pretty good people, and their sons are also doing well. It can be said that the Zhou family has a good tradition.

If this is the daughter of the Zhou family, then there is nothing to think about, Lin Ruolan will definitely agree.

But this is the niece of Old Zhou's wife, and Lin Ruolan doesn't know much about her, so it's naturally difficult for her to agree to it right away.

"Sister-in-law, what are your nieces doing at home?

There isn’t much work to do in the fields right now, so if they have nothing to do at home, they can come over and stay for a few days to have some fun.”

Lin Ruolan did not agree to help with the marriage proposal directly. She wanted to see what the girl from the Yang family was like first.

Okay, I'll help you to bring us together. If that doesn't work, then forget it.

Lin Ruolan heard about what happened in Qu Shaoyang's hometown.

Whether the wives of the eldest and second sons of the Qu family are good or bad is far away and has nothing to do with Qu Shaoyang.

But Qu Jiang is different. He is here and seems to be planning to settle down here.

In this case, Qu Jiang must choose a good wife.

Apart from anything else, at least people should be honest, easy to get along with, and not have too many ulterior motives.

Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be a quarrel between the brothers and sisters-in-law. Wouldn't Qu Shaoyang be upset then?
Lin Ruolan treats Qu Shaoyang and his wife as her own son and daughter-in-law, so naturally she doesn't want a troublemaker to come and mess up their good life.

When Yang heard this, what else did she not understand? She just wanted to see the person first.

"Isn't this a coincidence? The third and fourth daughters-in-law of our family may give birth next month, and it might be one after the other.

You said that I alone, how could I take care of two wives during their confinement? I had been planning to ask Sister Qionghua to come over and help in a few days. "

We are all smart people, so there is no need to explain too much, as long as we understand each other.

Just at this moment, someone came to see Lin Ruolan, and the two ended their conversation and went about their own business.

The Liu family is helping with the beam-laying ceremony for their new house, so they must be treated well.

There were twelve dishes at the luncheon, and almost all of them contained meat. The banquet was set up right in the front yard of the Qu family. Everyone was toasting each other, eating and drinking to their heart's content, and it was quite lively.

After the beam was put up, Old Zhou's wife arranged for her son to go to Hulutao and bring her three nieces over from her mother's side.

After Lin Ruolan found out, she found an excuse to go over and meet the eldest daughter of the Yang family.

I think this girl is pretty, but I don’t know what her character is like.

Lin Ruolan used the excuse that she was too busy building a house and wanted to find two people to help with cooking, so she asked the girl from the Yang family if she was willing to help over for a few days, and she would provide food and pay.

The Yang family just moved here last year. They don’t have much foundation, and there are many children in the family, so life is really difficult.

So when he heard that he would be provided with food and wages, he immediately agreed.

So, Yang Qionghua and her sister Taohua went to the Liu family to help.

You know what, these two girls are really hardworking, they go there as soon as the sun rises in the morning.

Not only did she help with cooking, washing clothes, cleaning the house, and coaxing Shuanzhu and Xiaofeng, she did whatever work there was and was busy until dark before returning to the Zhou family.

Lin Ruolan observed for a few days and found that Qionghua was a nice girl. She was quiet, had good eyesight when working, and was quite likable.

So, Lin Ruolan told Chen Xiuyun the secret, and Chen Xiuyun told her husband when Qu Shaoyang came back in the evening.

When Qu Shaoyang heard this, he thought it was a good thing. Since Lin Ruolan liked it, it must be good, so he agreed.

Next, Qu Shaoyang intentionally or unintentionally arranged for Qu Jiang to go to the next door to help, and Lin Ruolan and Chen Xiuyun also found opportunities for Qu Jiang to contact Qionghua.

After all these interactions, it turns out that Qu Jiang and Qiong Hua really fell in love with each other.

Lin Ruolan and Chen Xiuyun both saw it, but no one said anything. They thought it was necessary to have more contact.

As a person, you can pretend for a while, but not for a lifetime. It is better to be cautious about marriage.

In the blink of an eye, June passed and July arrived.

Qu Shaoyang has sorted out the affairs in the inspection office and is no longer as flustered as he was at the beginning.

As soon as he had a little free time these days, Qu Shaoyang couldn't sit still. He looked at the mountains in the distance, and his heart felt like it was growing weeds.

"Master, I plan to lead a few people into the mountains. We are close to the Red Hammer Market, and we might come across some big stuff."

Qu Shaoyang went to discuss with Liu Dongshan.

"I knew you would lose your temper." Liu Dongshan laughed when he heard it.

No one knows his apprentice's character better than him.

"If you want to go, go ahead. Pick out a few smart and clever ones from among our guys.

Take your third brother with you as well. You need to give him some training so that he can take care of the business in the future.

Don't worry about the family, I'll take care of it for you. You just need to make all the arrangements for the government office."

Not only did Liu Dongshan not stop him, he was very supportive.

"Oh, thank you, Master. I'll arrange someone right away." Qu Shaoyang responded happily.

"There's not much going on in the government office recently. Even if there is, Chuanren and the others can handle it."

Qu Shaoyang has now learned to delegate power. He lets his subordinates do what they can do. Otherwise, he would be exhausted if he had to do everything himself.
