Chapter 19: Business

When she came back from feeding the fish, Zhou Chengkang was already standing at the intersection waiting for her and said, "I sent him to his aunt's house."

Li Qinghe snorted with laughter.

"You're still laughing." Zhou Chengkang glared at her, "I'm so anxious."

Li Qinghe wasn’t impressed, smiled, and walked in the direction of home. "People just ask for directions, what makes you so anxious?"

Zhou Chengkang was helpless and took a few steps after her. "I didn't deliberately break my promise this morning. A lot of things happened in my family today."

"I know. Your brothers have decided to marry, everyone in the village knows." Li Qinghe replied casually.

"Will we go to town tomorrow?" Zhou Chengkang asked tentatively, "It just happens to be the market day, you can buy everything." He also explained, "I planned to come to you in the morning today, but they quarreled early in the morning, and it’s very difficult for my mother."

Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "It’s okay ."

Zhou Chengkang sighed, "That’s because you don’t know the situation in our family. My mother only has a total of two silver, only a small deposit is enough, but later... the eldest brother took the initiative to say that only half a silver pays as bride price, and the second elder brother will pay for the bride price, as long as he gets a dress. The rest was taken away by the third brother, and the one or two silver is just a small set, although not much, for our family, there are already a lot. Just that, the third brother also said that they want two taels of silver, and he has to pitch in some himself."

Li Qinghe listened silently and did not wait until Zhou Chengkang said he. Speaking of which he is seventeen this year, it's time to set a marriage. However, she did not take the initiative to ask. If Zhou Chengkang is only sincere to her but will not fight for her, maybe she will reconsider the relationship between the two...

As she thinks so, just listen to him, "I also want to make a marriage appointment as soon as possible. Qinghe, I'll ask a matchmaker to come, okay?"

For a long while, Li Qinghe looked at the small courtyard of Li's house and answered cautiously, "Okay."

It is not her home. She has never had a sense of belonging. Xu's house is not hers either. At best, it is the same as her place to work in the restaurant in the town. It is a place of work, the kind without wages. Hope this time, she did not choose the wrong one.

Zhou Chengkang’s face was full of surprise, "Qinghe, you’ve agreed?"

Li Qinghe returned to her senses, looking at the surprise on his face, looked at her alone in his eyes, smiled, and nodded her head, "Mn."

not waiting for Zhou Chengkang to get excited, Li Qinghe said again, "But this little money must be from your mother."

Zhou Chengkang was a little puzzled, "But my mother..." When he met her clear eyes, he was a little breathless, "Okay."

Li Qinghe was satisfied. It’s okay to subsidize Zhou’s mother, but can’t subsidize her, and the benefits did not fall to her.

When she returned home, Li Fu stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and saw her entering the door, as if he hadn't seen her. Instead, he said to Zhao Wanwan in the kitchen, “Tomorrow’s market day, you follow your mother to the town to buy a decent dress, the Hu’s family will come home.”

He didn’t plan to consider Li Qinghe, so he didn’t wait for her to set a marriage for Zhao Wanwan first. Even so, it didn't affect Li Qinghe's good mood. As she hadn't expected anything before, so naturally she would not be disappointed.
