Chapter 39: Has someone chosen?

"Dad and Mom, I'm serious, you might as well split up the family!"

"It's not a good idea for them to quarrel like this all day long!"

"After the family split up, you followed the second brother. Although the second brother has a tough temper, he knows how to be filial to you. The second sister-in-law is also a sensible person. Her temper is a bit fierce, but at least she knows how to take care of you."

At the Yang family, Wang seldom spoke to Yang Zhengshan, but at her mother's house, facing her parents, Wang spoke fluently.

Old Man Wang sighed and said, "Listen to Yaya, divide the family!"

He has a tougher temper. It's just a matter between women, so it's not appropriate for him, as a father-in-law, to interfere.

He can't possibly try to mediate between his daughters-in-law.

What does this look like!
Wang's mother wiped her tears and said nothing.

They are all still here and still very young. It would be too ugly to separate now.

But if we don't separate, life will be miserable again.

"Mom, I will help my second brother after the family splits up. Don't be sad, with my help, you will definitely live a good life!"

Wang comforted her, "Look, what I brought you!"

She placed her wicker basket on the table and lifted the cloth covering it, revealing the eggs and meat inside.

When Old Man Wang saw this, he stood up immediately.

"Why did you bring so many things back?"

"What will you do if your father-in-law finds out about this?"

He said in a panic.

A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. This is not just a saying.

If a married daughter uses her husband's family's things to subsidize her parents' family, she will be despised.

It may even ruin the reputation of your mother's family and affect the marriage of her children.

No family wants to marry a daughter-in-law who is disloyal to their parents.

"Dad, this is what my father-in-law asked me to bring back!" Wang said with a smile.

She was right. Yang Zhengshan knew that she was going back to Wangjia Village, so he asked her to bring some things back to visit her parents.

In Yang Zhengshan's eyes, it is natural for his daughter-in-law to bring some things back to her parents' home.

However, his original intention was to let Wang bring some cloth or something. Zhou Lan's thank-you gift included a lot of cloth, and the Yang family couldn't use it all at once, so Yang Zhengshan thought about giving some to several of his relatives.

This is a favor, and Yang Zhengshan is never stingy.

But he didn't explain it clearly, so Wang didn't dare touch the cloth and only took some pork and eggs.

And now the Yang family really has no shortage of pork and eggs.

Hearing that Yang Zhengshan agreed, Old Man Wang finally felt relieved.

"By the way, my father-in-law is going to Chongshan Pass. He wants to be an official and will try to be a centurion!" Wang said with a smile again.

When Old Man Wang heard this, he was surprised at first, but then he became happy.

It’s a great thing that my father-in-law becomes an official.

But then he started to worry again, "You must be filial to your father-in-law and never make him angry."

Marriage requires equal status.

In the past, the Yang family and the Wang family were both commoners, so they were naturally well matched. But now that the Yang family has become wealthy, Father Wang is afraid that the Yang family will dislike their daughter.

Wang also had such concerns, but when she thought about Yang Zhengshan's temper, she felt a lot more at ease.

Then the three of them talked for a long time. Wang did not forget the important business. After putting down the things, she picked up the basket and went to find Wang Po.

Mrs. Wang was an old woman in her fifties with silver hair, a kind face, and simple but neat clothes. She looked like a kind old grandmother.

"Auntie!"

When they arrived at Wang Po's house, Wang called her affectionately.

"Oh, isn't this the eldest lady of the Yang family? Please come in, please come in!" When Mrs. Wang saw that it was Mrs. Wang, her old face smiled brightly.

It was she who arranged the marriage between the Yang family and the Wang family. This marriage was the most commendable thing in her decades-long career as a matchmaker.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just being a daughter-in-law of the Yang family is something that all the girls in the surrounding area envy.

Even before Yang Zhengshan traveled through time, the Yang family was a good marriage partner, let alone now. When the two entered the house, Mrs. Wang immediately brought Wang a bowl of boiled water.

"Madam, are you here to propose marriage to your uncle?"

Before Wang Shi could speak, Mrs. Wang spoke first.

"Aunt guessed it?" Wang asked in surprise.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "You don't know, but recently a lot of people have come to my place, all for Yang Jia Sanlang!"

She was not talking nonsense. Yang Zhengshan had traveled through time for more than half a year, and during this time, the Yang family's life had been getting better and better. This was a well-known fact in the surrounding villages.

Who doesn’t want their daughter to marry into a good family, and who doesn’t want to have powerful in-laws?

So since the beginning of the year, many people have come to ask Wang Po to propose marriage to the Yang family.

If the Hu cavalry had not invaded, Mrs. Wang would have trampled down the threshold of the Yang family long ago.

"I have quite a few girls of the right age here. Do you want to choose one first?" Mrs. Wang was a little impatient.

The Yang family is prosperous now. If I can help them find a marriage, the reward and wedding money will definitely be considerable.

She had long been looking forward to making a fortune from the Yang family.

"No, auntie~~" Wang waved her hands awkwardly and said, "I have a suitable candidate here, and I may need you to find out more about the situation!"

"Has anyone chosen?" Mrs. Wang was stunned.

"Yes, the young lady from Liang's Cloth Shop in the county town!" Wang said with her cheeks slightly red.

She naturally didn't know that the young lady from Liang's Cloth Shop was not chosen by her, but was requested by that boy Yang Minghao.

"The young lady from Liang's Cloth Shop!" Mrs. Wang thought about it. She knew Liang's Cloth Shop, but she really didn't know whether there was a girl suitable for marriage in the shop.

The county town is not part of her business area. Her business area is only in a few villages around Wangjia Village.

However, it was not difficult for her to find out about Liang’s Cloth Shop. She had colleagues like her in the county town, and she could go and ask them.

"I remember that the owner and manager of Liang's Cloth Shop are not from our Anning County." said Mrs. Wang.

"This, I'm not very clear about either. You need to understand the situation first!" Wang said.

She just heard what Yang Minghao said and had no idea about the specific situation.

Wang Po thought about it for a while and said, "Well, I'll go and ask around first!"

"Then thank you for your help, auntie." Wang quickly took out a purse and handed it to Mrs. Wang.

As she lifted the weight of the purse, Mrs. Wang smiled even brighter. "Oh, how can I be so embarrassed?"

Although she said this, she had no intention of returning the purse to Wang.

"Please take more care of me, Auntie!"

Wang smiled and stood up to say goodbye.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Wang went to the county town.

Yang Zhengshan had no idea that Yang Minghao liked the young lady from Liang’s Cloth Shop. In fact, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care about it.

Although he is Yang Minghao's father, the marriage still depends on the matchmaker and the women in the family.

The only thing he could do was to check before getting engaged.

As for the rest, he couldn't intervene even if he wanted to.

In the following two days, Yang Zhengshan was busy with ancestor worship and banquet preparation.

Since he was going to hold a banquet, he naturally had to invite some relatives and friends over.

Lu Zhou from the blacksmith shop in the county town, the Lu family from Qinghe Town, the Jiang family from Jiangjia Village, the Wang family from Wangjia Village, and the Li family from Lijia Village.

He would invite all these friends and in-laws.

In addition, he also needs to find a few cooks, buy the ingredients needed for the banquet, etc.

Because of these things, Yang Zhengshan has been very busy these past two days.

That day, he had just returned from the county town after buying food, when he saw Yang Mingcheng walking out of the east wing with a gloomy face, followed by Wang with red eyes.

Seeing them like this, Yang Zhengshan was slightly stunned.

What happened to the young couple?
in argument?
