Chapter 694 Chen Hongxia gets married
"By the way, bring back some wild vegetables and stew some egg custard for dinner. Your brother is clamoring for eggs. Fortunately, Fubao didn't come to our house. I really don't want to let her eat egg custard. If I have good things, of course I want to give them to my grandson. What are you still standing there for? Go! Do you want me to kneel down for you and beg you?"
As soon as she returned home, He Xinghua scolded Sun Wanger who was sweeping the floor in the yard.
Sun Wang'er didn't dare to say a word. He lowered his head, put the bamboo basket on his back and took the machete and left.
She went to the mountains outside the village and stopped only when she reached the outskirts of the mountains.
There is a chestnut tree here. It has been there for many years, but all the chestnuts that fell on the ground have been picked up, and there are only a few left on the tree.
She didn't stay for long, picked some wild vegetables and went to chop wood.
"Be patient, be patient, in two years I will be able to meet someone else." There was no one in the mountain, and Sun Wanger's voice was floating in the air.
The birds in the trees were startled and they flew away flapping their wings, hitting the leaves and making a rustling sound.
Jiang Fubao, who was resting at home, told his grandfather what had just happened.
"Fubao is so smart. She directly rejected these shameless people. I'm afraid they would keep pestering her and drag her along. If they come to ask, just say that you don't have any medicine. You did the right thing. Fubao has grown up." Jiang Shoujia looked at his granddaughter with satisfaction.
His broad, rough palm gently stroked her head.
His eyes were full of love for the younger generation.
Jiang Fubao didn't even need to explain, he knew what his granddaughter meant.
"The Sun family is too shameless. I'm afraid that if I reject them directly, they will go to the town to bother Second Aunt, or go to the snack shop. They can't delay our family from making money. I'll give them a big pie of nothing to eat. For this, they dare not offend us, let alone make trouble. If I drag it on, they will naturally react. However, that will be a year or two later, hehe." Jiang Fubao grinned wickedly.
Jiang Shoujia also showed the same smile.
The grandparents and grandchildren stayed in Jiangjia Village for three days before returning.
After the autumn harvest, these medicines were delivered to Ren'ai Medical Clinic. Just like last year, Jiang Fubao and his apprentices began to prepare the medicinal materials.
The temperature is dropping every day and the days are passing by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. With the arrival of a light snow, Chen Hongxia got married. The day before the wedding, Jiang Fubao specially sent someone to send her back, waiting for Shao Siyou to pick her up the next day.
She is not like Shao Siyou. Her family members are all alive and well, so there is no need for her to marry in a clinic.
"Old Chen, congratulations, your granddaughter married such a good man, you will be blessed in the future."
"Yes, marrying a doctor from Fubao Clinic, Hongxia will learn from him, and both husband and wife will be doctors. They will make a lot of money. I heard that Hongxia's husband earns three taels of silver a month. Oh my God, that's three taels of silver. He eats and drinks at Fubao Clinic, so he can save more than thirty taels of silver in a year, which is as much as my family's lifetime savings."
"What? Jiang Jia, are you serious? Three taels of silver a month? Is it really that much?" "Of course it's true, how could I lie to you? Last time my eldest grandson had a sore throat, I took him to Fubao's clinic for treatment. It happened that Fubao was paying the doctors, so I took a quick look and saw that the one from Hongxia's family got three taels of silver. I wouldn't be wrong, you know how good my eyesight is, I can see whether it's a man or a woman standing there from a mile away."
Jiang Jia puffed out her chest proudly, and she didn't feel there was anything wrong with what she said.
"Oh my god, so many. I didn't expect that Hongxia, an old maid, would end up marrying the best in Jiangjia Village. I thought she would be an old maid for the rest of her life, but she suddenly got lucky. First, she was accepted as a disciple by Fubao, and now she is married to her senior brother. I'm afraid the couple will make a lot of money in the future. She found such a good husband."
"Old Chen, you guys should enjoy your life now. Your grandson-in-law is so capable. Your granddaughter will definitely earn a lot when she becomes a disciple. Maybe she can make three taels a month. Wow, the couple can make six taels a month combined! I don't know how much I will have to give to you as filial piety every year. Tsk tsk, I'm so envious. My granddaughter got married and moved to another place so early. It's been three years, and she hasn't come back to see us, let alone help us. It's really a waste of money."
Old Mrs. Xu sighed, her eyes full of envy.
Although Old Chen, who was surrounded by them, had a happy look on his face, he didn't show off.
What made him happy was that his granddaughter finally found a home, not how well off his grandson-in-law was.
Especially since my grandson-in-law is an orphan and has no family.
The granddaughter will be the head of the family after she gets married.
Fubao also told him that after Hongxia finished her studies and the clinic was set up, the two of them would go to another place to run a clinic on their own.
Although he was worried, he would not say it out loud. His family was poor and they had to move around a lot. If Old Man Chen didn't have the ability to keep his granddaughter at home, he shouldn't stop her.
Besides, he knew his granddaughter. She was a very filial child. He would be satisfied as long as she came back to visit her parents once a year.
Therefore, he pretended not to hear what the villagers said and just smiled as a response.
"Mrs. Wang, why did your granddaughter marry so far away? Don't you know? You accepted five taels of betrothal gifts from your granddaughter's husband. Everyone in the village knew about it. You are sighing now. When you accepted the betrothal gifts, you were so happy. You smiled like a flower. If you loved your granddaughter, you wouldn't let her marry so far away."
An old woman who didn't get along with Old Wang curled her lips and retorted.
"Humph, I'm doing this for her own good. My granddaughter's husband's family is well off and will definitely treat her well. If it weren't for me, she would have to marry in Lianshan Town and eat coarse food. She should be thanking me."
Old Mrs. Wang didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, she just regretted marrying off her granddaughter too early.
Most of the girls here get married at the age of 14 or 15. Her granddaughter was engaged at the age of 13, and married to Lin County when she turned 14.
Old Wang really didn't want to stay for a moment.
If she stayed one more day, she would have to eat one more day's meal at her parents' home. For the stingy old Wang, this would be like asking for her life.
"Tsk, as if everyone knows it, when the He family kid came to pick up the bride, he was nearly dying of illness, and was carried here by his family. I'm afraid your granddaughter married him just to bring good luck."
The old woman sneered and poked Old Wang in the heart. She felt like she was being slapped in the face and saw that the two were about to start a quarrel.
The other people in the village quickly separated them.
One stood on the far left, the other stood on the far right, and there was a huge gap between them.
Even if they were arguing, they couldn't hear each other.
A dispute was avoided directly.
"Oh, are you here to pick up the bride? Why so early?"
"Yeah, it's not time yet, you're early."
