After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 37 Zhang Daniu's Marriage Proposal

When they arrived at Zhang Quan's house, Zeng Hua was holding Zhang Chuan and talking to the matchmaker, while Wang Qiuxia and Zhang Danniu were busy in the kitchen.

As soon as he saw Jiang Xiaohe coming, Zeng Hua quickly stood up, holding Zhang Chuan in one hand and taking the things from her with the other hand.

"You are finally back. Come, take care of the children. Second Aunt will go and cook first."

Jiang Xiaohe quickly took the child over.

As soon as Zhang Chuan saw her, he started babbling with joy.

Zeng Hua then said to Matchmaker Fan: "You chat with my nephew's wife first, I'll go to the kitchen to clean up."

Matchmaker Fan smiled and nodded, and Zhang Daniu couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiaohe.

I didn't look at her closely before, but now that I see her, my cousin's wife is really good-looking.

In fact, the most important thing is that Jiang Xiaohe stayed at home all day and he often worked in the quarry, so he basically never saw this cousin's wife. In addition, in his impression, this cousin's wife was not a good woman.

But when I came back this time, I heard from my sister that my cousin's wife has changed. She is hardworking and good at housekeeping. For a family like theirs, the most important thing when looking for a woman is to be frugal and manage the household well. If she is also pretty, it would be icing on the cake.

Thinking about the words that Zhang Da Nv secretly told him, he couldn't help but start to fantasize.

"Are you the daughter-in-law next door?"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded. Matchmaker Fan knew that she was a widow, and she couldn't help but look her up and down.

Zhang Daniu also looked at her secretly. Jiang Xiaohe noticed it and stood up holding Zhang Chuan: "The child is hungry. I will take him back first."

As soon as she left, Zeng Hua brought out some brown sugar water and said, "You've been here for so long, but you haven't even had a drink of water." Then he handed a bowl of brown sugar water to Matchmaker Fan.

Matchmaker Fan took the water but didn't drink it. Instead, she asked, "Your nephew's wife is very pretty and doesn't look like a woman who has given birth at all."

Zeng Hua sat down and sighed, "My nephew's wife is a good person, but she has a bad fate. You talked about marriage with Dashan before. You know how good-looking he is. But he died young, leaving an orphan and a widow. Life is difficult. My nephew's wife has to work hard to make a living. We also want to help, but every family has its own problems."

Matchmaker Fan nodded in agreement: "Then your elder brother and sister-in-law, have you ever thought about letting your nephew find another wife?"

Zhang Daniu hurriedly looked at Zeng Hua.

Zeng Hua laughed awkwardly twice: "That's my eldest brother and his wife's business, I have no right to interfere." Then he said: "Please sit down first, the meal will be ready soon."

"Daniu, talk to Matchmaker Fan."

"Oh, ok."

As soon as Zeng Hua left, Matchmaker Fan turned around and asked Zhang Daniu what kind of person he wanted to find. However, Zhang Daniu's mind was full of Jiang Xiaohe, and he stammered and couldn't say anything. Matchmaker Fan thought he was shy, so she started talking to herself.

During lunch, at the table, Zhang Daniu couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiaohe. Zhang Daniu noticed something was wrong and slapped him.

Zhang Daniu came to his senses, and Wang Qiuxia also discovered it.

After having lunch and returning home, Wang Qiuxia couldn't help but talk about this matter with Zhang Fu.

"Today, I saw that big bull staring at Xiao He, and I felt..."

Zhang Fu advised her, "Don't think too much. Didn't my second brother and his wife find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for Da Niu today? If they were interested, why would they need to spend money to find a matchmaker?"

Although what he said was true, Wang Qiuxia just felt uncomfortable.

Zhang Quan and his family sent Matchmaker Fan out of the yard.

Matchmaker Fan smiled and said, "Just wait for my good news in the next two days."

Zeng Hua stuffed a red envelope into her pocket and said, "Thank you for your hard work. If you have anything good to offer, please think of our great man first."

The matchmaker pinched the red envelope and smiled: "That's for sure."

Having said that, he turned and went out.

Zeng Hua then went home with a smile and twisted his waist.

He said to Zhang Daniu, "Don't go to work these days, otherwise it will be bad if you are not here when we meet again."

Zhang Daniu didn't say anything.

Zeng Hua frowned and looked at him: "Mom is talking to you, did you hear me?"

"I heard it, I heard it."

Zhang Daniu turned around and went to weave a winnowing basket under the tree in the yard.

Zeng Hua frowned slightly. How come this kid looked unhappy even when he was talking to him about marriage?

But she didn't think much about it, and went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, then said to Zhang Danniu: "Go ask your brother why he seems so unhappy when you propose to him."

Zhang Da Nv wiped her hands on her apron, took it off, and then went out to find her brother.

"elder brother."

Zhang Daniu hummed without looking up.

"Today is a good day to arrange a marriage for you, why do you look so unhappy?" Zhang Da Nv squatted down and asked.

Zhang Daniu stared at the dustpan in his hand without saying anything, and finally asked, "Is it true what you told me that mother wanted my cousin's wife to be my wife?"

Zhang Da Niu glanced at the kitchen and said, "That means mom talked to dad. Dad doesn't agree. Didn't I tell you that? Otherwise, why would he ask a matchmaker to bring him home?"

Zhang Daniu felt uncomfortable after hearing this and continued to weave the winnowing basket.

Zhang Danniu thought, could it be that her elder brother has fallen in love with his cousin's wife?

I suddenly thought that I shouldn't tell my elder brother about this.

Back in the kitchen, Zeng Hua asked, "What happened to your brother?"

Zhang Danniu naturally didn't dare to tell the truth and just shook her head.

Zeng Hua naturally didn't dare to continue asking.

Zhang Fu had already gone to the fields in the afternoon. For farmers, there is always endless work to do in the fields.

After Jiang Xiaohe coaxed Zhang Chuan, she asked Wang Qiuxia, "Mom, where did you put the other fruit I picked yesterday?"

Wang Qiuxia was mending clothes in the yard. Farmers' clothes are the most easily damaged because they work in the fields every day.

"That thing is very sour. Do you still need it? I almost threw it away for you." As she said this, she put down her clothes, got up and went to the backyard, and took out the sour dates.

Jiang Xiaohe took it with a smile and explained, "Mom, don't think it's sour now. When it's ready, it will be delicious and appetizing! Then we can take it to the town to sell it for silver!"

When Wang Qiuxia heard about selling silver, she immediately sighed: "Fortunately, I almost lost it!"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and looked at the fruits. It was hot, and they would go bad if they were not cleaned up.

He quickly found a large wooden basin and went to the kitchen to fetch some water.

Wang Qiuxia sewed the clothes in a few seconds and came to help.

"What can I do with this fruit after washing it?"

Jiang Xiaohe said with a smile: "After washing, let's steam it in the pot."

蒸？

Will this thing stop being sour if you steam it?

After washing the fruits, Jiang Xiaohe said to Wang Qiuxia, "Mom, we still have sweet potatoes at home, right?"

"Yes, are you hungry? Mom will go get one and cook it for you."

"Mom, take some more. They will be useful together with these sour dates later!"

"it is good."
