Chapter 212: Proposal
This is probably the first time that Tan Dejin has rejected Zhao's request so directly.
The reason for refusal is largely because of what Yang and Tan Deyin said last time.
The last time Yang and Zhao fought over the fields in Hulin Town, Yang said that Old Man Tan had five hundred taels of silver in his hands, although Zhao denied it vigorously, but Tan Dejin was not a son-in-law, and he thought that Yang's words were extremely credible.
If Old Man Tan didn't have five hundred taels of silver in his hand, how could he give all the fifty acres of land in Hulin Town to Tan Deyin's family, but Tan Deyin didn't have any doubts.
The Zhao family seemed to have thrown off a hot potato, but it happened that this throw revealed the family's background.
However, even if Tan Dejin knew it in his heart, he never had the idea of the five hundred taels of silver.
However, now that the Zhao family has come to attack his idea again, this makes him annoyed and feels that his father and mother are too unkind.
At the beginning, Liulang had a few sudden illnesses, and his mother was reluctant to pay a penny, and she really thought that the money in their hands was tight. Later, I was forced to divide the family in a hurry, and my father and mother were even more picky, and they were not even willing to give more money.
I don't complain that they want to split up, but I only complain that they shouldn't see death and not save them.
Rokuro is their grandson, and his only son, and they should know that they treat Rokuro as their life.
Over the years, if it weren't for Mingxiu taking all the dowry, Liulang would probably ......
Tan Dejin didn't dare to think about it further, the more he thought about it, the colder his heart became, which parent doesn't want their children to live well, only his mother tries to calculate herself, for fear that her life will be better.
"What did you say?" Zhao slapped the small low table beside him fiercely, his face turned blue.
There was a sound of doors opening in both the east and west compartments. Yang and Wu both probed out to see.
Tedkin stood up. "Mother. If the fifth child wants to go to Huairen Academy to study, I can ask Qiduo to go to Mrs. Shen to help talk about it, and then hire a good gentleman for the fifth child. As for the rest, my son really can't help it. ”
Then he turned and left.
"Brute!" Zhao gritted his teeth and overturned the small low table, and the things on it were rolling to the ground.
Yang sneered and slammed the door shut.
It's good to be angry with you, old witch. Shameless!
When Tan Dejin returned home, Xu naturally wanted to ask Zhao what was the matter with letting him go.
He didn't want Xu to be angry after him, so he just said lightly, "It's nothing, my father and mother want to send the fifth child to study in Huairen Academy, and ask me about the situation in the academy, so I have a bottom in my heart." ”
"Oh, in this way, if the fifth child can enter Huairen Academy, it will be a good thing. Dad's all hopes are in the fifth child. I hope he can be successful in the future and live up to his father's expectations. Xu said sincerely.
"yes. I hope that kid can fight. Tan Dejin sighed lightly, he was really not optimistic about this old five.
Qiduo didn't quite believe what Tan Dejin said, and it was impossible for the Zhao family to just inquire about the situation in the academy.
Since Daddy didn't say it, she didn't ask.
Liuju immediately pouted on the side, "Mother, how is the fifth uncle studying, don't you know in your heart, people in our village say that he is not the material for studying, and that grandma sent him to study not only wasted money, but also harmed him." ”
"Ju, the fifth uncle is your elder, how can you say that about him. Besides, no matter whether he can go to high school in the future, it is always good to read more books, so how can it harm him? Tan Dejin immediately reprimanded.
Qiduo smiled and answered, "Dad, don't scold the second sister." I have also heard what the second sister said, don't say it, there is some truth in this, the fifth uncle's work in the field has never moved a finger, to say a joke, the fifth uncle now I don't know if he can distinguish between wheat and leeks.
Of course, if the fifth uncle really works hard to read and can read and write, he will not worry about making a living, and he can help others do the accounting room or something.
It's just that everyone is spreading that although the fifth uncle has been going to school every day all these years, he doesn't recognize a few words, and often secretly goes out to play or hides where to sleep. He can't do work in the fields, he can't read and write, and he can't do anything, and he is reluctant to contribute, so what should he do to support himself then? ”
Old Man Tan's ideal is beautiful, and he hopes that his son will be able to glorify his ancestors in the future.
It's just that you also have to see if this son is a good piece of wood, if it is rotten wood, then how can it be carved into wood.
Qiduo's words are still more polite, to put it ugly, Tan Deyou is a typical lazy type.
Under the guise of reading every day, he doesn't have to do the work at home, but he eats better than others and dresses brighter than others every day.
It's a pity that there is no ink in this belly.
Listening to Qiduo's words, Tan Dejin also sighed, he understood these words, but he couldn't say them to his father, it was obvious that he wanted to shatter his father's dreams and make him sad.
"By the way, Daddy, I heard from Sister Sizao today that the descendants of the old lady may have news." Qiduo remembered this.
"Really?" Tan Dejin and Xu both had a look of surprise.
Sister Sizao said so, saying that her grandfather and third uncle were busy inquiring about this matter these days, and she didn't know where she got the news. Dad, if you have time, you can also ask Grandpa about it. Qiduo said.
She is really interested in this old lady.
"Okay, no wonder you just went to the front yard, and your grandmother said that your grandfather was not at home, so in this way, your grandfather may have gone out to find out the news." Tan Dekin nodded.
When it comes to the old lady, the topic naturally revolves around her old man.
Tan Dejin couldn't help but talk about some of the past.
Although Qiduo has heard it twice, it still listens to it with relish.
At noon, it was as dark as ink, and under the combination of thunder and lightning, a torrential rain finally fell.
The rain fell, and the previous feeling of stuffiness disappeared, and the whole person was refreshed.
Qiduo stayed at home without incident, so he wore clogs and held an umbrella to go to Shen's house.
I've been busy these days, so I haven't been talking to Zheng Wanru anymore.
Sister-in-law Li came to open the door, saw that it was Qiduo, and greeted her warmly.
"Is my aunt at home?" Qiduo asked with a smile.
"Here, Madame has been talking about you these days." Sister-in-law Li responded with a smile.
Zheng Wanru heard the voice and came out of the room.
"Seven flowers are here. Come here. "See the seven flowers. The smile on Zheng Wanru's face immediately spread gently.
Qiduo walked over with a smile.
Just found out after getting closer. After resting for a few days and not seeing each other, Zheng Wanru reduced a little.
"Auntie, why do you seem to have lost some weight? What's going on? Qiduo hurriedly wrinkled his eyebrows and asked with concern.
"It's okay, the first two days were stuffy, greedy for cold, my body was a little unwell, and the amount of food was a little less. Naturally, I lost a little weight, but now it's better, don't worry. Zheng Wanru said with a gentle smile.
Qiduo was afraid that she would have something to hide, so she turned her head to look at Sister-in-law Li.
Sister-in-law Li nodded, "Seventh girl, don't worry, Madame is telling the truth." A few days ago, I had a cold and a fever, I invited Lang Zhong to come and see it, took a few patches of medicine, and now I am better. I was going to tell the Seventh Maiden about you. It was the lady who didn't let you, saying that your family was very busy. I don't want you to worry. ”
Qiduo saw that Sister-in-law Li's expression was natural, not like she was telling a lie, so she was relieved.
But I felt a little guilty in my heart, my aunt was so good to me, but when she was sick, she couldn't take care of her, which was really a shame.
Fortunately, my aunt just had a cold and a flu, nothing serious.
"Auntie, you are out of sight, I can come to you at any time if you have any problems, but you are not feeling well, but you don't tell me. However, I also blame me, I have been a little busy lately, so I forgot to come to see you, otherwise I wouldn't have known about your illness. Qiduo said with red eyes.
Zheng Wanru knew that Qi Duo really cared about herself, and she was very pleased.
hugged Qiduo's shoulders, stroked her hair, and said softly, "Silly girl, I'm just dyed with a little cold, and it's not a big deal, do you have to shout so that the whole village knows the Tao." Besides, I don't still have Sister-in-law Li here, don't worry, if I need you, I will definitely let Sister-in-law Li find you. ”
Qiduo nodded.
Zheng Wanru took Qiduo into the room and sat down.
Sister-in-law Li smiled and brought hot tea and snacks over to serve them.
Qiduo told Zheng Wanru what he had done in the past few days.
Zheng Wanru listened carefully, sometimes nodding and smiling with satisfaction, sometimes wrinkling her eyebrows to worry about her, and sometimes happy for her.
"Qiduo, it's not easy for your family to set up such a big industry now, this stall is a bit big, and you can't be lax in management, otherwise your efforts will be wasted. And how to develop in the future, you also have to think about it thoroughly, but there can't be any mistakes. Zheng Wanru said seriously.
"Uh-huh, aunt, I know what to do." Qiduo also nodded solemnly.
It is true that we can't be sloppy, it's easy to start a business, it's hard to keep a business.
It's easy to make a big spread, but it's not easy to make all the stalls really produce gold.
"Okay, it's still the same sentence, if you have any difficulties, come and tell your aunt." Zheng Wanru smiled and nodded.
"Well, definitely." Qiduo squinted and smiled, "By the way, aunt, if my fish and duck polyculture can be successful, then you will also change the pond at home to a fish pond, okay?" ”
At present, the polyculture of fish and ducks in my own family has just begun, and it may not be 100% guaranteed to be successful, and of course I dare not let my aunt follow me for an interview.
Only when you succeed and really have experience will you not let your aunt suffer.
Zheng Wanru's eyes lit up, this is a good idea, and she nodded and agreed immediately, anyway, the pond at home is empty, and it is not bad to raise some fish.
"By the way, Qiduo, you came just in time, and I wanted to talk to you about something. If you don't come these days, I'm going to look for you. Zheng Wanru smiled and changed the subject.
"Oh, auntie, tell me what's going on." Qiduo smiled and sat down.
"It's a good thing, Mrs. Kang came to me a few days ago and asked me to protect the media." Zheng Wanru pursed her lips and smiled.
Protecting the media?
Qiduo's eyes lit up, could it be for the eldest sister?
"Auntie, can you tell me in detail?" Qiduo is a little anxious, the eldest sister's family affairs are full of twists and turns, and I really hope that she can find a warm and happy home.
Zheng Wanru told what happened.
Mrs. Kang came to her again a few days ago, naturally for Kang Jin and Erxia.
Kang Jin is very satisfied with Erxia, these days, in order to see Erxia more, he deliberately only pulls two hundred catties of lotus root every time, just to find an excuse to come to Qiduo's house.
Mrs. Kang had long wanted to come to Qiduo's house to propose marriage, but she knew that her family had been busy recently, so she had been waiting patiently, and as soon as the spring ploughing was over, she immediately came to ask Zheng Wanru.
Zheng Wanru was delayed for two days due to illness, and she specially mentioned it today.
"Hehe, this is supposed to be said to your mother. It's just that I think about it carefully, in case your mother is not optimistic about Young Master Kang, but because of Mrs. Kang's relationship, she has no choice but to agree to this family business, which is difficult for strong people.
The marriage should be beautiful, and it should be sincerely blessed by both parents, so that the marriage is happy. So, I didn't dare to speak rashly.
Qiduo, don't tell your mother about it when you go back, but probe your mother's opinion of Young Master Kang from the side, if she also thinks that Young Master Kang and Erxia are compatible, then you come over and tell me immediately, I will officially come to the door to propose marriage for Young Master Kang. Zheng Wanru said.
Wow, the Kang family finally came to the door to propose, it's really good.
Qiduo is very happy, she is optimistic about Kang Jin.
immediately quit Zheng Wanru and rushed back excitedly. (To be continued......)
