Xia Xiaochan's brother and sister-in-law had long wanted to take charge of their own household and spend a lot of money. They couldn't wait for their younger sister to get married so that they could take over their family's property. Thus, they added fuel to the fire by the side.

As for this marriage, how was it? Would she live a happy life? Tsk tsk, Xia Family people wouldn't care.

However, this matter was two years ahead of schedule now, so Xia Xiaochan couldn't help but be shocked by what was going on between them.

Lee Congwen's mother was a snob and wholeheartedly thought of her son as the best man in the world. Even the emperor's daughter couldn't match up to her son, let alone Xia Xiaochan.

As for Lee Congwen's two sisters?

His two younger sisters had been taught to be vain since they were young, and would definitely not agree to marry a girl like him.

They both thought the same way as their parents. They felt that their brother, full of talent, was born to be someone who excelled in the world, someone who could even marry a princess. Their brother was born to be extraordinary, and he would definitely become the top scorer in the future.

If things didn't go well, this young miss of the Zhixian family, that young lady of the Han Lin family returning home, all of them could be married off.

Therefore, it was definitely not Lee Congwen's parents' idea to marry him.

In that case, there was only one more speculation left.

It wasn't someone else's idea that wanted to marry him, it was Lee Congwen's own idea.

At this moment, Lee Congwen was extremely arrogant, so why would he want to marry me?

In fact, from the beginning to the end, Lee Congwen only married him because he wanted to find a free worker to serve his family.

Xia Xiaochan's expression suddenly changed when she thought of this possibility. Could it be …? Lee Congwen actually came back?

That's right, since it was possible for him to come back, then why couldn't Lee Congwen come back?

However, since Lee Congwen hated him so much, why did he want to marry him? Could it be that he wanted to find a 'free servant' to serve his family in his previous life?

Xia Xiaochan could only chuckle in response.

In this life, he would never be involved with such a family.

After Lady Chen made a ruckus, Old Mother Xia turned her head and snorted coldly at the matchmaker, "How many gifts does Elementary Scholar Li's family give me?"

If the betrothal gift was enough, it wasn't impossible to marry this damned girl off to someone from the Lee Family. Of course, if the betrothal gift was not enough, she would definitely not agree to it, because that damn girl, Xia Xiaohong, had sold herself for a full ten taels of silver. Therefore, this damned girl, Xia Xiaochan, had to sell her son, Xia Erhu, for at least ten taels of silver.

At this moment, the matchmaker said with disdain, "Yo, with my character, if your daughter marries, she will immediately become the Elementary Scholar's wife. In the coming spring, if Elementary Scholar Li were to win, your daughter will be the High Scholar's wife, and you are actually the Yue Clan. I don't want your marriage anymore, tsk tsk, you still want a betrothal gift?"

Upon hearing the words "High Scholar's father-in-law", Old Mother Xia's eyes immediately glowed with a green light. But a moment later, as she heard the words "High Scholar", she laughed contemptuously and said, "Tsk tsk, so what if you're an Elementary Scholar? Which family got married and didn't want a betrothal gift? "Go to hell, my daughter won't marry without a betrothal gift, get out of here.

When the matchmaker heard this, she became anxious. She was fully prepared for this marriage, but she didn't expect to have such a parent. It was just a trivial farm girl, and this Elementary Scholar was willing to marry into his family, which was a huge blessing. Others could only wish for a few more lifetimes, but he was actually unwilling to marry an Elementary Scholar?

If it were any other family, they would have already agreed to it. Humph, he said he wanted a betrothal gift, but in reality, he just wanted to sell his daughter to earn some money.

This matchmaker's surname was Yang, and she was a famous matchmaker from a nearby village. She had thoroughly touched Old Mother Xia's heart.

Even though Madame Yang thought like this and thought of the Elementary Scholar's generous rewards, she still smiled and said, "Aunt Xia, do you really not know or are you just pretending to know? If this Elementary Scholar were to become a High Scholar and become a High Scholar, then once he becomes an official and gives your family some benefits, then it would not be a matter of a few taels of silver. If he were to look into the distance and think about it, when the time comes, your daughter will become the official's wife, tsk tsk … "

Old Mother Xia's eyes flickered when she heard this. Apparently, she was tempted.

The daughter of the town's grocery store owner, Xia Xiaochan's future sister-in-law Lady Chen, coldly snorted and said, "Yo, Madame Yang, who are you fooling? Do you think this High Scholar, the Scholar, is as good as Chinese cabbage? If it was that easy, why didn't Elementary Scholar Li's family marry someone else? Why are you looking for us? You aren't trying to trick us into sending a daughter over for free, are you? "

Lady Chen's eyes darkened. She was the daughter of the town's shop owner, but she had only married a peasant. Why would a lowly girl like Xia Xiaochan marry an Elementary Scholar? In the future, would he still have to be an official's wife and step on her head?

When the time came, Xia Xiaochan would be able to live a comfortable life, but Lady Chen didn't want to fawn on this lowly girl.

In the woodshed, when Xia Xiaochan heard the conversation between Lady Faang and Old Mother Xia, the corner of her mouth curved into a mocking smile, while her eyes turned cold.

This Lady Faang was truly a good sister-in-law.

Sure enough, after hearing Lady Chen's words, Old Mother Xia directly scolded, "Old Woman Yang, do you think I'm some ignorant, ignorant woman who has no knowledge in the countryside? You dare to kill a thousand times, you dare to bully this old lady? "Do you believe that this old lady will give you a look?"

Madame Yang knew how strong Old Mother Xia was, upon seeing this, she hurriedly ran out of Xia Family's room, spitting loudly, "Old Xia, you shrew, didn't you just want to sell your daughter? "What a vicious mother. Don't think that everyone doesn't know about your daughter, Xia Xiaohong. Hmph, and isn't afraid of retribution!"

The relationship between Madame Yang and Old Mother Xia was not that good. Madame Yang acted as a matchmaker, so it was better to be kind. Unlike Madame Zhou, as long as you paid, it would only be for profit.

Previously, Old Mother Xia had asked Xia Xiaohong for a matchmaker to tell her that Madame Yang had been sold by Xia Xiaohong for a high price, but was rejected by Madame Yang in the end. This had also led to the grudge between Madame Yang and Old Mother Xia.

This time, Old Mother Xia had used this opportunity to let out a breath of relief towards Madame Yang.

In the woodshed, Xia Xiaochan saw that Old Mother Xia had refused the marriage, so she quietly returned to the woodshed to work.

On the second day, Xia Xiaochan did not expect Lee Congwen to come looking for her when she went up the mountain to weed the pig grass.

The weather was currently early autumn, and the harvest was in full swing. In the mountains, there were red fruits and yellow leaves dancing in the wind. There was food everywhere that could be harvested.

Looking at the scenery, Xia Xiaochan smiled in satisfaction.
