Chapter 233 Promise yourself
After lunch, Chen Xiuqun helped to clean up the dishes. Zeng Hua quickly took the bowl from her hand and said, "Aunt, how can this be so embarrassing? We invited you to be our guests."
Chen Xiuqun smiled and turned around, holding the bowl and said, "What's the point of being a guest? We are all relatives. There's no need to say those polite words. You've been working hard all morning. I'll help you with the rest."
As he said this, he took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it with ease.
Wang Qiuxia stood aside and smiled, thinking that she should also help, so she reached out and pulled Zeng Hua aside.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Wang Qiuxia pulled her to a corner under the eaves, pointed at Wang Hong who was helping to clean up the tables and chairs outside, and asked her bluntly: "Sister-in-law, what do you think of my nephew Wang Hong?"
When Zeng Hua heard this, he realized that there was something else behind the words.
He took another look at Chen Xiuquan who was working diligently in the kitchen, and suddenly understood.
"Sister-in-law, you are waiting for me here on purpose."
Wang Qiuxia patted her arm and said, "I'm asking you a question!"
Zeng Hua smiled slightly: "Your mother's daughter Hongwa has taken a fancy to my daughter?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I've asked so bluntly."
Zeng Hua raised his head towards the kitchen and asked, "Did your sister-in-law ask you to come and ask?"
Wang Qiuxia nodded and continued, "Actually, this is Hongwa's own idea. Didn't my sister-in-law find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for him a few days ago? He refused to agree to it, and finally he said that he had feelings for your daughter."
After saying that, Wang Qiuxia bumped Zeng Hua's arm and said, "It depends on what you say. If you think it's okay, I'll tell my eldest brother and sister-in-law to find a good day for the matchmaker to come directly to propose marriage. But if you think it's not okay, I'll also call my sister-in-law to reply directly, so that Hongwa will give up this idea as soon as possible."
Zeng Hua heard this and immediately said, "Sister-in-law, you've already said this, why are you in such a hurry?"
Wang Qiuxia thought there was a chance when she heard this: "Why don't you discuss it with Zhang Quan?"
Zeng Hua smiled and nodded, adding: "I have also seen the temper of Mrs. Chen. If the big girl really marries her, she will definitely not let her feel wronged."
"Don't worry, my eldest sister-in-law has a very good temper. But I still have to say that my eldest brother's family is not that well off, and there is only one boy, Hongwa, so the pressure on the family is a bit greater. But I can assure you that they are all hardworking people, and their lives are getting better and better. If we are really destined to be together, I will definitely not let the eldest girl down."
Zeng Hua patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, I'm a discerning person and I can see it. Although I also look at the conditions, my main concern is that Hongwa has a future."
Wang Qiuxia smiled knowingly, knowing that Zeng Hua had agreed to this matter, and she was also happy in her heart: "Then you discuss it with Zhang Quan, and when there is a result, tell me, and I will ask my eldest brother and sister-in-law to bring the things and come to talk to you again."
Zeng Hua nodded.
The two of them went to clean the yard, chatting and laughing.
Zhang Da Nv hid behind the door and heard everything they said. She didn't eavesdrop on purpose. She came to the backyard to collect firewood and overheard it accidentally.
When she heard her mother seemed to have agreed to the marriage, she felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
He walked out with the firewood in his arms, exchanged glances with Wang Hong in the yard, then lowered his head guiltily and went to the kitchen.
When Chen Xiuqun saw her, she took the firewood without even having time to dry her hands, and said with a smile, "You look so clean, don't let the firewood get you dirty."
Zhang Danniu rolled up her sleeves and was about to help wash the dishes.
Chen Xiuqun quickly put down the firewood, wiped her hands on her apron, and pushed her out of the kitchen: "You are the birthday girl today, these aunties can do it, go play with the children."
As he said this, he pushed Zhang Da Nv out of the kitchen.
Zhang Danniu felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
When Zeng Hua saw this scene, he exchanged a glance with Wang Qiuxia and felt that it would be a good idea for the girl to marry him. He thought that he would have to discuss it with Zhang Quan in the evening.
But it wasn't even evening yet, and a matchmaker came to the door in the afternoon.
The matchmaker went to Zhang Fu's house, followed by Zhang Xiu'e, which attracted many people in the village to watch the fun.
Everyone wondered, "Why did Zhang Xiu'e ask the matchmaker to go to Jiang Xiaohe's house?"
After finishing the cleanup, everyone was eating fruits and chatting in Zhang Quan's yard. When they heard the noise, they left the yard.
As soon as they went out, they saw Zhang Xiu'e and the matchmaker standing at the door of their house. Jiang Xiaohe narrowed her eyes and said to Wang Hong, "They must be here for you."
"I?"
Both families looked at Wang Hong.
Wang Hong was also very confused.
Jiang Xiaohe explained to everyone in a low voice, "He saved Xu Xiulian yesterday, and now he must be entangled."
Zeng Hua's expression changed immediately.
Zhang Da Nv was listening behind the crowd, and her expression turned a little grim.
When Zhang Xiu'e saw Wang Hong, she immediately pointed at him and said to the matchmaker, "Where is he?"
Jiang Xiaohe didn't move. Now it depends on how Wang Hong solves this matter.
Seeing the person approaching.
The matchmaker looked at Zhang Daniu and Wang Hong in the crowd, turned around and asked Zhang Xiu'e in a low voice: "Which one is it?"
Zhang Xiu'e pointed at Wang Hong: "Him!"
The matchmaker immediately smiled and said, "This is the queen's son. It's obvious that he is blessed."
Wang Hong looked at her with a frown.
The matchmaker continued, "I'm here to propose marriage for Xu Xiulian."
Zhang Xiu'e agreed with a smile and said, "Yes, I invited this matchmaker. Thank you for saving my daughter yesterday."
Chen Xiuquan was a little unhappy and stood up: "If you want to thank our family for saving your daughter, you can just come to our house in person to express your gratitude. What's the point of bringing a matchmaker here!" As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Zeng Hua's face, fearing that the future in-law would think too much.
Wang Qiuxia also stood up and said unhappily, "That's really unreasonable. This is the first time I've seen someone bring a matchmaker to thank someone for saving their life."
She had just told Zeng Hua about the marriage between Hongwa and Da Niu at noon, and now Zhang Xiu'e came to make a fuss about it. Wouldn't this make Zeng Hua uncomfortable?
Someone in the village who was watching said, "Is he trying to repay the favor of saving his life by giving himself to him?"
Everyone laughed and joked.
Hearing these words, Zhang Xiu'e became even happier, but Wang Hong's face changed. She turned back to look at Zhang Da Nv reflexively, just in time to see her turning around and going back into the house angrily.
Zeng Hua felt a little uncomfortable: "Since you are looking for Wang Hong, let's go in."
After saying that, he pushed Zhang Quan with one hand and pulled Tian Tianer with the other and went back into the house.
Zeng Hua had just secretly told Zhang Daniu that Wang Hong wanted to marry his sister. He patted Wang Hong on the shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house, but did not close the door. Now, only Wang Hong's family and Zhang Fu's family were left at the door.
