When the news reached Linjin Town, everyone was stunned, the handsome young man did not marry, but promised his daughter to a widower, some people felt that Zhang Congwa was too greedy for money, but the people of the Wang family, why didn't they feel that they were slapped in the face?

At this time, it was the time when the Wang family's leather boots and clothes were on sale, and naturally some people were optimistic about this in-laws, and there were many matchmakers who came to the Wang family, but Tie Shan couldn't look down on any of them, and the second master Wang was anxious to train his son, but Tie Shan was holding his neck, but he couldn't look down on it.

To tell the truth, there is really no girl who comes to propose marriage, and her appearance is comparable to Zhang Congwa's daughter, and Wang Erye can only sigh. Tie Shan asked the neighbor's Aunt Wu to help inquire, the families of these women are all mercenary, and none of them are coincidental.

Soon after the New Year, in just a few months, there were a lot of followers in Shanyang County, the sales of the Wang family's boots went down, and the sales of leather clothes, because the leather was limited, the sales also fell, and the family said that the matchmaker was immediately scarce.

At this moment, Wang Tieshan went to come back from his uncle's house in Lanzhen and begged his father to invite a matchmaker to propose to Li Xiucai's family in Lanzhen.

When Second Master Wang heard this, he was three feet tall when he jumped, and he didn't look like a fifty-year-old man at all: "You, aren't you scolding us for wanting to eat swan meat?" No, no. ”

"If it doesn't work out, Daddy will ask someone to give it a try. There is a saying that there are 100 women who have goods, and we are much better than Hanako. ”

Second Master Wang still thinks it's impossible: "This in-law family is all low and high, how can there be a daughter-in-law who marries a high family?" Isn't this inviting a grandmother back to our family, what do you want your mother to do? ”

"Daddy, that can't be. Xiang Lanzhen said to the people of Lan Town, Li Xiucai's daughter, that is really virtuous, not to mention how good it is, she can't rank first in the town except for her appearance, virtuous and skillful, if she says second, no one dares to be the first. ”

"Alas, this child, marry a wife and marry a virtuous man, why doesn't my father want to find you such a good daughter-in-law? But our family, where is it worthy? ”

"Daddy, just because they all think so, Li Xiucai's family proposes marriage, but it is some unpopular people, I heard that Li Xiucai drank too much during the New Year, and complained to his friends that those who asked him to marry their daughters were all broken families who had nothing but money. Daddy, although our family has no money and no fame, we have a good reputation, no matter who mentions our family, no one dares to say no. Also, the eldest brother's boy, they all say that reading is not an ordinary spirituality, and over time, there will definitely be a future, Li Xiucai once taught him, if he has foresight, he should not underestimate us. ”

Second Master Wang was still hesitant, and it was more than a month in the blink of an eye.

Lai Songnian made a new shoe sample and sold a lot, which made Wang Erye sigh at home. When I came to the house, I still learned to make shoes from my son, but now they have surpassed his family.

"Daddy, come to Songnian to think about living, this time I'm not, but, my son just thought of it, and he can't do it, my sister-in-law's ingenuity, how could I never think of putting appliqués on shoes, right? Just thought, will you twist the pattern? ”

Second Master Wang glanced at his old wife: "Your mother is also a coincidence when she is young, and now she is dazzled and clumsy." ”

"Daddy, you better ask the matchmaker to ask Li Xiucai's daughter, if she can marry her son, she will definitely not be able to catch up with us when she comes home."

Seeing that her son was so obsessed with the daughter of the Li family, the first mother relented: "Old man, let's ask a matchmaker to go." ”

The first matchmaker of the Wang family, the reply he got back was "no", but Li Xiucai heard that the Wang family was very benevolent and righteous, and he was a good family, and the words of refusal were very subtle.

Tie Shan was not convinced, and privately begged another matchmaker, although the Li family said no, but his tone was not as resolute as the previous time. He hurriedly sent someone to inquire, it turned out that Li Xiucai had two daughters and a son, the son was only five years old, and he himself was almost fifty years old, the eldest daughter married the eldest son of the county Shen Daguan the year before last, Shen Million also had the fame of Xiucai, and a net worth of millions, at that time, the people of Xianglan Town, who did not envy Li Xiucai for finding a good family, but the eldest girl Li married into the Shen family for a year, not only could not help her mother's family, but was despised by her husband's family, trembling every day, and suffering a lot of grievances, these Li Xiucai also only learned not long ago, he was angry and distressed, But he couldn't support his daughter.

After getting such news, Wang Tieshan was overjoyed, he and his father thought about it again and again, and felt that Li Xiucai would definitely change his mind about the marriage of his second daughter, so he invited a matchmaker again.

This time, they begged the mayor for help and invited the official media to come to the door.

Li Xiucai really changed his mind, he inquired, the Wang family is kind and thrifty, and they are also very righteous. If you marry such a family, although you can't make a big effort, if you die early, it should be no problem to help take care of your son.

Three media and six certificates, the Wang family has already taken three matchmakers, so he relented, did not agree, and did not refuse.

Wang Erye struck while the iron was hot, and invited someone to come to the door, and he really began to ask about the bride price.

Wang Erye discussed with his eldest brother and thought that the daughter of the Li family would help his son do a good job in the leather boots business, and it would be worth spending more money.

Uncle Wang naturally agreed, his eldest son, Wang Dashan's daughter-in-law, took a lot of effort back then, and it turned out that he was right, the daughter-in-law is virtuous and capable, and she is well organized inside and out. If Tieshan's daughter-in-law is not good, he will not be happy in his heart, not to mention, the second child has let his son withdraw once because of the bride price, this time, no matter what the price is, he will also contribute to this matter.

Wang Erye compared Lei Cheng's bride price and replied to Li Xiucai. The gift to his in-laws was changed from a silk dress to a leather coat, which was more than ten times the price, and Li Xiucai was moved by the sincerity of the Wang family and finally agreed.

Wen Jin heard that Tieshan had found a good daughter-in-law, and he was sincerely happy for him, and when he got engaged, he also gave him five fish for a banquet.

At this moment, Lin Shan's marriage to Tie Shan, for example, Ming Shan couldn't help but be moved, the whole family, no one was optimistic about the family affairs, it turned out to be, Tie Shan can succeed again and again, why does he have to waste his life?

That night, Mingshan began to follow his nephew to learn to read and count, made up his mind, and did not feel any shame, Mingshan has a big heart, strong willpower, and is so tired of rushing to the mountain, he even said that he started to start, go up the mountain every day, put a pocket of small pieces of paper, and when he sat down to rest, he took it out and wrote it by hand.

He was so anxious that he wanted to memorize ten words a day, Wen Jin and Wen Han both felt that it was impossible, but they couldn't stand the determination of others. Wen Jin didn't get angry with him, and on the way back and forth with Wen Han, he often helped dictation, and Mingshan made very fast progress. Wen Jin also asked Wen Han to write some simple phrases, so that Mingshan could practice his reading skills, so as to enhance his understanding of the words he had learned.

The days passed day by day in the fatigue of the body and the joy of harvest, and the front mountain was once again emptied by people. This year, there are more people going up the mountain than last year, and last year, there were more people than the year before. The old river channel is not only a Weijiawan, but the people in the entire basin are not having a good time, and they are trying to take refuge in the people here, just to be able to go up the mountain to harvest in the autumn.

The front mountain was plucked, and people naturally went to the back mountain, and within a few days, it was reported that someone had met a black blind man, and then someone saw a wild boar and was almost injured.

These news made Wen Han restless: "Uncle doesn't know what's going on. ”

"Don't worry, my uncle is doing things safely." Wen Jin couldn't even convince herself of this, so why wasn't she worried?

Where did Wei Chenglan go? Why didn't any of the people who drove the mountain say that they had met them?

Wen Han and Wen Jin's worries, Dashan soon found out. He and Wei Chenglan met when Wen Jin built a pigsty and a duck house, and both of them were bold and open-minded, smart and capable, and respected each other, which made their relationship quickly close.

That morning, Dashan said that he was also a little worried, and he wanted to take someone to see Wei Chenglan by the way.

Turning over the mountain, he came to a place with a relatively gentle slope, where a few trees were used to build a shed, and there were many walnut peels piled up on the ground outside, and there were piles of ashes inside, Wen Jin ran over, pulled the walnut skins, and saw that they were rotten, and said sadly: "They have been away for more than three days." ”

"Where can I go?" Wen Han looked around.

"They've probably finished harvesting the mountain and changed places." Dashan saw that there was no blood on the ground, and there was no trace of a fight, and said with certainty. Wen Jin and Wen Han, it is impossible for the people of the Wang family to waste a day to help them find someone, not to mention that Lin Hai is vast, how can they find it? Although the two of them were sad in their hearts, they still cheered up and followed Wang Dashan to the other side of the hill.

Dashan had long been optimistic about the place, and sure enough, several walnut and chestnut trees were quickly found, and the group had a good harvest, and walked back early with the basket on their backs.

Wen Han kept scratching the back of his hand, then his arm.

"What's wrong?" Wen Jin asked.

"It's a little itchy."

"Then you carry the walnuts on your back and go home, wash them well, and I will sell the chestnuts on my back."

"No, you go home, you must be tired these days"

Wen Jin glanced at him unhappily: "Brother, are we still talking about those false tricks?" Your skin is not good, you are prone to allergies, so don't hurry home and wash it well. ”

Wen Han looked uneasy: "Then you will work hard today." ”

The two changed their back baskets, and Wen Han went home directly.

The next day, Wen Jin's face was also swollen, but fortunately it didn't hurt or itch, unlike Wen Han, who had a lot of blisters on his arms and face, and he couldn't sit still.

"Brother, you can rest at home."

"No, I have nothing to do at home, I'm even more uncomfortable." Wen Jin was very sympathetic to his plight, but couldn't think of a better way.
