Chapter 578: Chapter 582 Hidden Danger_1
"She’s quite good actually," responded Huang Zhong casually, as a grown man like him couldn’t go around gossiping behind people’s backs like women do.
Before Aunt Huang could continue, a noise came from the yard.
Huang Zhong, simple-minded, said, "It must be Dad coming back, I’ll go help."
Aunt Huang clenched her teeth, "Choosing just this moment to come back, neither father nor son gives me peace of mind!"
But perhaps it would be better for the old man to handle this matter.
Offer them a bit of drink, and with a couple of glasses in their bellies, what can’t be discussed?
Once she had sussed out Huang Zhong’s thoughts, she would go ahead and task a matchmaker with the proposal.
If things worked out, even selling two acres of land to hold the wedding would be fine; after all, although it was a second marriage, they couldn’t do the other family wrong.
Thinking this way, Aunt Huang finally felt somewhat consoled.
At nightfall, Aunt Huang brought up the matter.
Uncle Huang thought for a moment before speaking, "Hu’s Clan has one of the best daughters-in-law in the village, hardworking and filial, and she raises her children well, she’d be a great match for our Zhong Zi, but the Tan Family..."
In the end, his words turned into a sigh.
He occasionally hauled goods for others, heard a lot of idle gossip, and thus had a lot to consider.
"Are you worried Big Brother Tan will come and cause trouble?" Aunt Huang realized as well.
"Mhm, Big Brother Tan is now loafing around every day, completely dependent on his aged parents. The second son is sick with worry over this, they’ve had no end of fights, and I’ve heard they even came to blows; the old couple won’t be able to look after Big Brother Tan much longer."
Uncle Huang furrowed his brows; once Big Brother Tan ran out of options, who else could he rely on?
When that time comes, he would surely turn back to Hu’s Clan.
Given Big Brother Tan’s scoundrel nature, how would they ever have peace?
Money and possessions were all minor concerns, but what if Big Brother Tan forced himself on Hu’s Clan again? How would his own son continue to show his face?
Aunt Huang also sighed deeply; she truly hadn’t considered this aspect.
"I’ve thought it over and Hu’s Clan seems the most suitable, anyway, no maiden in her prime would want to come into our family as a stepmother."
As Aunt Huang spoke, she once again felt a bitterness in her heart. Was her son doomed to have no marital fate?
Uncle Huang suddenly realized he had said too much and quickly added, "Don’t overthink it; I also set my heart on Hu’s Clan. You talk it over with Duo’er again. If it really doesn’t work out, we can sell the land and have them move to town, maybe run a small business and still live well."
"Alright, I’ll chat with Duo’er about it later."
"Duo’er is full of ideas and might come up with a good solution. We’re not in a hurry now; we still need to look around for our sons’ matches too. It’s very late, let’s go to sleep."
Even though they said that, their minds were still shrouded in clouds of worry.
Aunt Huang’s heart was in turmoil, and she began to feel sympathy for Hu’s Clan.
She married into the Tan Family and never had a day of good life; even after getting divorced, she had to live in constant fear.
The next day, Qiao Duo’er headed to Big Sister Tie’s house bright and early.
Because the Yin Family had been casting covetous eyes, Big Sister Tie and Yang Ruoruo hadn’t gone to town for some time.
Ever since they started selling facial mask powder, the two girls had essentially been living at their maternal grandparents’ house in town, which was a good opportunity to stay with their family.
With Tie Niu away from home, the women of the Tie Family were taking care of Qiao Duo’er.
The group of women chatted together happily, without any need for restraint.
When discussing the Embroidery Room, Feng Clan’s pet issue was brought up again—that her darling daughter still refused to learn needlework properly.
"Big Sister Tie, you’ve got to learn needlework; you can’t expect Chao Lian to do all the sewing for your wedding dress," Feng Clan said with a stern face. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Big Sister Tie responded with a sense of grievance, "Mom, why are you starting on this again?"
