Chapter 17 Part 2

    Liu Xiangmei smiled meaningfully when she heard the words, and patted Liu Xianglan’s thigh: "I think you don't know that he rents a stall in the city and doing business!"


    "Ah? What kind of business does he do?"

    Liu Xiangmei said: "What kind of business can a butcher do? It's business selling the meat in the market! The man is so talkative, today I bought the meat from his stall, he recognized me at a glance, and he give me a ride to the village."

    Liu Xianglan opened her mouth in disbelief , it was difficult to put the person her sister said on the burly and fierce Zhang Fangyuan.

    "On the way, we talked and I asked him about his cart and horse. Guess what, he bought it himself, and it was specially used for business and pulling things." The more Liu Xiangmei talked, the more satisfied she became: "The big guy is full of energy and strong, I think you can take a look at him with Shaochun."

    "You mistook him for someone else!"

    Liu Xianglan glanced at her sister suspiciously, he had a cart and a horse and was doing business in the meat market, it sounded like crosstalk, but this person was Zhang Fangyuan, she felt it was outrageous.

    "Hey, why don't you believe me? He said that he is Zhang Fangyuan, laowu from Zhang family, and his parents are gone. Could it be that there are other Zhangs in the village with the same background? " Liu Xiangmei frowned beautifully, pointed to the outside and said: "I got off the cart on the road over there, and people drove the cart and horse to continue, and he stopped at Zhang Fangyuan's house."

    Liu Xianglan was speechless immediately, muttered: "Could it be that he has reformed himself?"

    Liu Xiangmei earnestly said: "You, when you look at people, you only focus on their past, you also need to look at the present and the future, so I should give you advice. Since Shaochun was born with such condition, we must choose a good home for him. You and brother-in-law don’t have a son, so you will have to rely on your son-in-law in the future.”

    Talking about the daughter who made Liu Xianglan proud, she had a ruddy complexion and said frankly: “I have already looked for Shaochun’s husband, and I have a candidate."

 Liu Xiangmei raised her eyebrows when she heard the words: "Oh?"

Liu Xianglan said brightly, "You know the Fei family in our village, that scholar family, the only son passed the Tongsheng examination and study in the city. I heard that his literary talent is very good, and he will take the college entrance examination this spring. The wife of the Fei family had already had tea with me twice, and we have communicated with each other for a long time. After the exam, they will come to our house to propose marriage. "

Students were well-qualified, they could write, and the court gave them money, the things with fame anyone who looked at it would be envious. They were extremely popular son-in-laws in the city, let alone a villager.

It was just: "How can it be so easy to pass the exam? What if you don't pass the exam?"

Liu Xianglan felt that her sister was short-sighted: "If you can't pass the exam this year, you can take the exam next year. Very few people pass the exam once. After all, take your time and Fei Scholar is a man of talent and outstanding, there are many people in the village who want to marry him, even the village chief's family has hinted at the Fei family several times, but no one agrees. Also as a scholar who doesn’t look down on the fat taro-like daughter of the village chief's family."

    Liu Xiangmei ignored her sister's complacency: "Let's look more cautiously. This Zhang Fangyuan is really good."

    "If my sister thinks he is better, you might as well just give him your Yuanyuan."

Liu Xiangmei knew that her sister was choking her, so she said angrily, "I told you kindly, you are not happy anymore, it's not like you don't know that she was engaged to her cousin a long time ago. Right now, I just regret it that I agreed so early and didn't look any further." 

 
    Xu He was picking bamboo shoots and peeling them in the small room next to the central hall. Hearing what his mother and aunt had said, he was a little surprised that Zhang Fangyuan was doing business in the city. No wonder he hadn't seen him for a while. He put the bamboo shoots into the basin, thinking that this guy was really powerful, and even his aunt in the city, who had her eyes high above her head liked him.

    Liu Xianglan saw that her sister rarely showed such a regretful expression, she seemed to really think highly of Zhang Fangyuan, and said, "Let me take a look again, in case it’s really better than the Fei family, and I still haven’t said anything, there is still a chance to turn things around."

    Liu Xiangmei felt a little more at ease when she heard such words, but she also knew that her younger sister prefered scholars: "Hey, He ge’er is not young anymore, he is only a few months behind Shaochun, and both of them are close in age . If you want to match someone, you might as well think about..."

Before the words were finished, both of them knew what it meant. Xu He, who was about to go back to the kitchen, didn’t expect that the topic would fall on him for the first time, so he couldn't help but paused.

    "It's a good idea. look at He Geer's talent, it would be nice to have two men in the village. That Zhang Fangyuan used to fool around in the city before, and I heard that he even went to guard the brothel. What kind of Yingying Yanyan he has never seen before, but he can't find a wife, and I'm afraid he will look down on He Ge’er's appearance, and his mouth is not good, can't speak, just know how to work."

    "Actually, when he came to slaughter pigs at home, he even watched Shaochun secretly...."

    In fact, Xu He had heard such words a lot, but for some reason, he was so sad and flustered today.

    Xu He didn't make a sound, tightened the basin on his hands, and went back to the kitchen silently.

    Liu Xiangmei sighed slightly, with Zhang Fangyuan's appearance, he could really ask for a good one, and his conditions were attractive now, if his reputation became good, even his eyes could grow to the top of his head.

    Zhang Fangyuan's brain was also flexible, he knew how to put forward his conditions first, and he was not in a hurry to propose marriage.

    Thinking about it this way, she found that Zhang Fangyuan was even more capable.

    Thinking that he had only one younger sister who was close to him, and she really had no girl or ge’er, so she spread out and talked to his younger sister in detail.
