70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

"If Qingwen isn't afraid, then I'm not afraid either!"

"Is he planning to become my brother-in-law?"

"Yeah, Qingwen, what do you think?"

"That's not up to me, but I happen to have 20 yuan here. Take it and have your family propose marriage to the Yu family in the cowshed, and see if they agree."

"Brother Qingwen, I don't have any special skills. Whether I can find a wife depends entirely on your 20 yuan. Let me tell you, my family is so poor that we can't even afford clothes."

Zhou Wangcai looked miserable, his eyebrows furrowed.

Zhou Wangcai then said in a deep voice, "Marrying the daughter of a capitalist from a cowshed is good. Compared to being a bachelor for life, I still think a capitalist's daughter is not bad at all; she's a good person!"

"Okay, I'll lend you 20 yuan. If you get married, I'll give you a wedding gift, and you can pay me back slowly."

"If you two aren't married, you can give me back this money, okay?"

Zhou Wangcai took the money, his face beaming with excitement. "Okay!"

Zhou Wang could only see that Yu Yalan was very beautiful;

Her second sister, Yu Ya Hui, is also quite good-looking.

Zhou Qingwen casually chopped off a few tree branches and then said he was going home.

Zhou Wangcai went home and discussed it with his parents.

Zhou Wangcai's father touched his head slightly and reached out to touch the two 10-yuan bills that were worth 20 yuan each.

"Did your brother Qingwen really give you this money?"

Zhou Wangcai nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes! It really was Qingwen who lent me the money. He said that if things go well, he'll give me a wedding gift!"

Zhou Wangcai's father reached out and touched his ear. "I think we can give this a try!"

Zhou Wangcai's mother, with tears in her eyes, said, "If the family agrees, I'll go propose marriage first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Try not to overthink it. If it works out, great; if it doesn't, great. We need to be clear about it and not say anything hurtful."

"Hey! I get it."

Early the next morning

Zhou Qingwen went up to the cowshed and whispered to his father-in-law and mother-in-law that the Zhou family had many relatives and friends.

Last night I mentioned to one of his brothers that I wanted to help my second sister get married.

Yu Xiongwei's eyes shone as he nodded slightly, while Chen Sufang was even more excited, repeatedly saying, "Great, great, great! I'm so happy I could cry."

Yu Ya Hui heard it from inside the room. The cowshed was so small that everyone inside could hear each other clearly!

Yu Ya Hui nervously clasped her small hands together, while Yu Ya Lan gently patted her second sister Yu Ya Hui's shoulder a few times, offering her some support and comfort.

Yu Xiongwei asked the team leader for half a day off today and is waiting at home...

Around 7:30 in the morning, Zhou Wangcai's parents arrived with a well-known local matchmaker.

The matchmaker placed all the gifts on the table, and then, with a mix of coaxing and fabrication, described the man to Zhou Wangcai as incredibly wonderful.

Zhou Wangcai's parents thought it was a bit of an exaggeration, but then they thought about it again, and their son was gradually becoming more mature and stable.

I can't help but recall that Zhou Qingwen lent money directly to their son.

This shows that they think highly of Zhou Wangcai and believe that he has the ability to repay his debts!

Without sufficient trust, you can't borrow even two yuan, let alone twenty.

Zhou Qingwen thought about it and realized that the person who brought up the matter last time didn't dare to marry the capitalist's daughter.

Zhou Qingwen didn't blame him, but she also felt that Yu Ya Hui was Yu Ya Lan's second sister, so she should help her if she could!

If one suggestion doesn't work, then suggest a few more!

There's always a brave and resourceful young man!

Zhou Wangcai's parents were decent, and they made a good impression on Yu Xiongwei.

He is an honest person;

It was agreed that the bride price for marrying Yu Ya Hui would not be much, only 6.6 yuan;

Then the family members sit down together for a meal;

It is estimated that there was less than five yuan left, which was then given to Yu Ya Hui to keep close to her body.

Zhou Wangcai's mother kept three yuan for household expenses.

Zhou Wangcai would gather firewood for Zhou Qingwen once a month, for about ten days at a time, and would be paid three yuan for it.

On average, I can earn three cents a day.

From now on, the money will be managed by Ya Hui and her husband. Zhou Wangcai's mother said that the family will rely on the young couple from now on.

The elderly couple simply did their work points and diligently fulfilled their duties.

Zhou Wangcai even offered to do a few more work points each day;

At the end of the month, we can send the work points to Zhou Qingwen's parents if Zhou Qingwen goes hunting.

Give Zhou Wangcai some meat or some money, that's fine.

Give us whichever is more convenient.

After proposing marriage, Zhou Wangcai went into Yu Yahui's room and sat for a few minutes.

The two of them looked embarrassed whenever they met. They had met a few times before when they were working for work points.

They had some impression of each other.

Only after they have met and both parties agree to the marriage can it be considered truly settled.

When Zhou Wangcai came out of the room, he almost lost his footing and slipped. He grabbed the door to avoid falling.

As Zhou Wangcai had already been told, he had no money, no skills, and no decent family background, so no decent girl was willing to marry him.

Because Zhou Wangcai's father had a leg disability.

Therefore, many girls, upon hearing that the person proposing marriage is Zhou Wangcai, would immediately think...

They wouldn't even let matchmakers into the house; they refused them outright.

Zhou Wangcai's family originally had a few dollars in savings, but after proposing marriage several times, they squandered it all.

I thought I was destined to be a bachelor forever.

As a result, even the poor have rich relatives!

Zhou Qingwen had seen Zhou Wangcai several times when Zhou Qingwen went hunting, and Zhou Wangcai was always the last to leave.

Moreover, he cleaned Zhou Qingwen's house spotlessly before leaving.

This is exactly what happened: Zhou Wangcai did unintentionally, but he did his best to finish the job.

However, Zhou Qingwen saw this and kept it in mind.

So, Zhou Qingwen lent him 20 yuan as soon as he offered, telling him to pay it back slowly later. If he didn't have the money to pay back, he could do so by chopping firewood!

This is clearly intended to help Zhou Wangcai's family escape poverty.

Although Zhou Wangcai didn't think too much about it, marrying this wife made him Zhou Qingwen's brother-in-law!

Suddenly, he became the brother-in-law of the most powerful hunter in the whole village. It felt like riding a roller coaster!

Zhou Qingwen had also thought that in this era, if a woman didn't get married and didn't have a child to rely on, her life would be miserable in the future!

You know, children are sensitive and caring. Even the most rebellious child will know to go home and visit their elders.

If you're not rebellious, then you're lucky to have a filial child.

May you be happy your whole life.

The child is capable, loves the family, and can take care of both the elderly and the young.

This is life!

Although Zhou Wangcai is a bit poor now, and his father is a burden, Zhou Wangcai is hardworking!

With just his strength, I heard that Zhou Wangcai did the work points of two people all by himself!

He's on par with Zhou Qingwen's eldest and second eldest brothers!

The three fine horses of Zhouzhuang Production Brigade!

Zhou Qingwen felt a little embarrassed when he thought about this. If he hadn't relied on the mountains for his livelihood and could have made a living by hunting, he probably wouldn't have achieved anything great in his life!

Because earning work points is hard and tiring!

Zhou Qingwen, on the other hand, enjoys adventure and prefers the hunting life where he can earn more money.

This is just what I wanted!

By a twist of fate, the wolf king actually recognized him as his master!

Hunting is faster now than before, but it's also riskier!
