Wang Ru felt contempt in her heart, that she really dared to think, “No, here are the hairpins and bracelets for Mother.”
After saying that, she put the box on the table, gave her father a purse, and said, “I’m tired. Come on, these pieces of cloth are for Mom and Dad, you can clean them up!”
After that, Wang Ru winked at the second sister and the eldest sister and took the two sisters out.
Sun Shi opened the box and was dissatisfied. There were two silver hairpins and a pair of silver bracelets. The fat lady Li of the Zhou family wore hairpins with gems. “What does she mean by this?”
Fourth Wang’s attention was focused on the silver notes, this was given to him by Wang Ru, a fifty-tael banknote. Seeing that his wife was dissatisfied, he also felt dissatisfied, “Master Shi is so rich, it’s so useless to go out and get such a small thing.”
Wang Ru didn’t hear it, and she would be very angry if she heard it. She didn’t want to bring back anything, but she didn’t want to go to Shi’s house again. So she deliberately brought more to make life easier in the future.
In Wang Ru’s room, Wang Ru took out two boxes and gave them to her two sisters. After knowing that reputation was important, she felt guilty, but the guilt disappeared after a while. They would not be able to marry without her. “This is a gift for my sisters.”
Erya Wang Rong opened it first, and inside there were two silver hairpins, two pairs of silver bracelets, and one tael of gold ingot in the corner.
The situations of Wang Daya and Wang Xin were similar, but the woman was not shy or demure; she desired to marry a good husband and held resentment toward her sister. However, she also became smarter, and she wouldn’t let her mother take her things away.
The next day, the Zhou family prepared for spring plowing. The weather was colder this year, indicating a late spring. Planting was delayed by more than a week compared to previous years. Since the Zhou family had hired workers to harvest their fields last year, they also hired laborers to plow the fields this year. They paid ten cents a day, and meals were not included.
Zhulan also felt sorry for Li Shi. Every day, Li Shi cooked and Zhao Shi helped. Sometimes she would also help. However, her family had a large population, and most of them were men. Therefore, they paid extra money for the meals.
So Li Shi was moved that her mother-in-law felt sorry for her. She was the first daughter-in-law in her heart!
Zhou Shuren had no control over the land at home. It was all managed by his eldest son. This year he hired fifteen people to plant ten acres of dry land in one day.
There was a spring rain a few days ago. The spring rain was as precious as oil, and the land was moist, which was perfect for farming.
The people hired this time were basically people from the clan. The other three who were not from the clan, had helped out last year.
After plowing the dry fields, there was another rain, and the Zhou family had ten acres of paddy fields, ready for rice planting. Zhulan didn’t know much about the quality of ancient seedlings, but she saw that her own seedlings looked good. She wasn’t curious about planting rice and continued to stay at home embroidering clothes.
Paddy fields were more difficult than dry fields. It took fifteen people more than a day and a half to complete the work, and two days of wages were calculated.
In the village, Zhulan’s family was the first to finish farming, and Li Shi Shi and Zhao Shi were greatly envied by the little daughters-in-law in the village.
Li Shi was proud of herself. Even if she heard harsh words, she liked to wander around the village recently. The more jealous looks she got, the happier she was.
Zhao Shi rarely went outside, but she did go to the fields to bring water to her husband. Inevitably, she would encounter people. At home, she had stopped crying, and her subconscious reactions had weakened significantly. Even when someone held her, she didn’t cry, just lowered her head in embarrassment.
Later, everyone in Zhoujia Village found out that Zhao Shi stopped crying and became even more envious. Those with daughters in the village also set their sights on Zhou Changlian.
The Zhou family had become a xiucai’s family. There was no need to pay taxes on the twenty acres of land. Now they hired people to farm. The women in the family were all well-dressed and wore jewelry. Zhou Yang Shi was also a good mother-in-law. The Zhou family has suddenly become a blessing. Zhou Changlian was also a good student, and so he became the golden turtle son-in-law of eight villages in ten miles.
At the end of May, just as Zhulan had finished sewing clothes, the matchmaker arrived. Despite having some memories of the previous owner’s experiences, she didn’t completely trust them. She could tell from Li Shi that if the matchmaker had come earlier, she wouldn’t have chosen Li Shi. Even if she was an excellent cook, it wouldn’t have mattered. Therefore, the previous owner’s experiences had no reference value for her.
After praising Zhulan for a while, the matchmaker sipped her tea and thought to herself that the Zhou family was truly remarkable, with a solid foundation. The tea they served was of excellent quality. After observing the Zhou family, she finally got to the point, “Eldest Sister, Wang De’s family asked me to come. They want to propose a marriage alliance with your third son. What do you think of Wang De’s daughter? I’m not exaggerating when I say that she’s the best for miles around.”
Because she was from the same village as Zhoujia Village, the matchmaker didn’t exaggerate. Everyone in the village knew who the other one was. Ah, it was precisely because she knew that she dared to come to the door. The girls from the Wang family were really good.
Wang Ru felt contempt in her heart, that she really dared to think, “No, here are the hairpins and bracelets for Mother.”
