Chapter 24
In Wei Qingyuan's generation, his father died young, leaving orphans and widowed mothers, and the family business declined even more.In order to allow her son to study, Wei's mother Liu has almost sold all the land passed down from her ancestors over the years, and usually makes some female celebrities for some money to live on.

But the Wei family's old house is no ordinary farmyard.

It was a big two-entry yard.Walking into the courtyard gate, there is a small garden in front of it, with some common flowers and trees, but they are all tall and lush, among which two magnolias are very rare.Then there are three large tile-roofed houses in a row, one of which is particularly spacious and has large windows. It was used by Wei Qingyuan's grandfather and father to teach apprentices; there is a small study room next to it, which is used to correct homework and work on weekdays. A place to rest; there is also a tea room, where the children go to eat when they are thirsty and hungry, and the children come to rest in that room temporarily when they come to visit.In addition, there is a thatched house next to the corner door of the courtyard wall, which is probably for children.

Bypassing the corridor, there is a big back garden, in which there are no vegetables, but flowers and big trees.These big trees are very tall, one of them is so big and lush that it takes two or three people to embrace it; the other plum tree and pear tree seem to be many years old; but the peach tree is not very old. ; There is also a mulberry tree and a tung tree, which are estimated to be more than ten or twenty years old.

The trees in the back garden are luxuriant, covering the back yard in all directions.Passing through the winding gravel road in the garden, I saw an old clay tile house in front, a hall room in the middle, four side rooms with two bright and two dark sides, and a kitchen, firewood room, toilet and bathroom at the back.There is also a stable in the garden near the courtyard wall, but there are no horses inside. There is a big bamboo chicken coop under the eaves, but no chickens are seen in the yard, and the whole yard is clean.

It turned out that there was a small garden behind the yard, where common vegetables were grown, and more than a dozen chickens raised by Wei's mother Liu were also kept in the open space of that garden.

It seems that the Wei family is not as poor as Wei Qingyuan said, Zhao Shihua is naturally very satisfied.When I went back and told the first and second elders of the Zhao family, my parents were full of surprises.

But it was said that Mrs. Wang overheard from the window that the two elders of the Zhao family wanted to tell their sister-in-law Zhao Yunxing to Wei Xiucai, and also heard that the Wei family's courtyard was very spacious and seemed to be "very rich", so she felt uncomfortable.She was so excited that she forgot that she was eavesdropping for a moment, and immediately yelled, "I think Master Wei is interested in my Anshu! Second Uncle, are you mistaken? Master Wei is interested in my Anshu right?"

The second elder of the Zhao family immediately got up and stared at her.

"Who told you to sneak around and eavesdrop?" Rong Shi was out of breath this time.She actually wanted to steal her daughter's marriage. Is she such a sister-in-law?

"Oh, mother, where did I eavesdrop? I just wanted to come over to see what your two elders are doing, and I happened to hear that you guys wanted to steal my Anshu's good marriage, why don't you let me tell? You guys do it Grandfather and grandma? Are there any aunts like this? And second uncle, didn’t I offend you because I didn’t listen to you before? How can you, second uncle, snatch your niece’s marriage?”

"Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if you don't want fame or face, but you should also think about An Shu anyway. She is a girl who hasn't left the court, do you want to say that she has an affair with a foreigner?" Zhao Shihua was stunned by her shamelessness.Although he could see that his sister-in-law wanted to marry his niece to Wei Qingyuan, he didn't expect that this side was going to be settled, and she was still messing around.

"Who doesn't want to be famous and shameless? You are shameless when you snatch your niece's good marriage! Last night, my mother-in-law asked Yun Xing to change her clothes and come out to pour tea for Master Wei. Isn't it shameless? It's a pity that Master Wei didn't even look at her For a moment, it's our Anshu, Master Wei has taken a few glances!"

Wang's face is super thick, and she doesn't feel shameless, but her son and daughter can't stand it anymore.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Zhao Annan, the grandson of Zhao's patriarch, is not going to school today and is writing in his room.Hearing his mother's words, he blushed with embarrassment, so he ran out quickly to pull her back.He never imagined that his mother was such... such a person.Although the word shameless is very appropriate, it seems a bit inappropriate to use it on my mother.

At this time, Zhao Anshu also came out.She stomped her feet and said with red eyes: "Mother, just save me some face!" After speaking, she ran into the room crying.

Wang was taken aback, why did her children say she was wrong?Where did she say something wrong?Then Mr. Wei clearly has his eyes on An Shu, her family!What's wrong with her trying to get a good marriage for her daughter?

"Sister-in-law, don't make trouble. Brother Qingyuan made it very clear to me that a matchmaker will come to propose marriage to my younger sister Yun Xing in two days. You heard clearly, he said very clearly that he wants to be my brother-in-law, He is going to marry my younger sister Yun Xing!" Zhao Shihua glared at Wang Shi fiercely, feeling increasingly disgusted with her.With such a wife and mother, Zhao Shihua is really ashamed of his eldest brother, nephew and niece.

Unconvinced, Mrs. Wang wanted to say something, but couldn't find a good one for a while.She stood there with a stubborn face, still unconvinced.

At this time, Wang's youngest daughter, Zhao Anrou, also poked her head out of the room when she heard the voice, wanting to see what happened.What are you arguing about?
Seeing her, Mrs. Rong immediately asked An Shu to take her sister to the back room.An Rou is only seven years old this year, and she half-understands these things. If she accidentally goes out and says a word, the Zhao family will be ashamed.

Zhao Shihua really wished he could beat Mrs. Wang severely, but it's a pity that Mrs. Wang is the elder sister-in-law and only her elder brother can do it, so he could only angrily say, "Sister-in-law, don't even think about it. They just want to find a stepmother for their daughter. Some people take care of the widowed mother in order to pass on the family line of the Wei family as soon as possible, and of course they want to find a big girl who can marry immediately, instead of waiting for a little girl who hasn't grown up to grow up slowly!"

Wang looked at this and then that angrily. She still felt that Master Wei looked at her daughter several times that night, and she must have taken a fancy to her.Although her An Shu is only 13 years old, she has basically grown up. If she gets engaged now, she can get married next year.

Zhao Annan saw that his mother was still stubborn, so he couldn't help being ashamed and hated. He dragged her into the house, and shouted as he dragged her: "Mother, don't make trouble. You are shameless. The son and the elder sister are shameless! How will we three brothers and sisters behave in the future if you are like this?"
