Chapter 185 Give Her Money

Wasn't she afraid of him?

"Don't worry about that. Auntie has already told her that she doesn't believe that it was you who killed your parents."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you come to our Shenjia Village."

A flash of joy appeared on his face, and then he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Ji Wenhe nodded to Lan Qiuhua, indicating Shen Guyan's meaning.

"I'll take you to her house. It's the first one on the east side."

Then he said to her, "Wen He, go and call back Gu Yan."

"it is good."

After they entered the door, he went to find Shen Guyan and said with a smile: "You should go back soon."

"Sister-in-law, what if he looks down on me?"

He walked over to her, squatted down, and patiently explained: "This is a common thing. It's not like you will fall in love with each other the first time you meet."

"Even if you don't get the chance to meet him, don't be discouraged. Maybe he's not the right match for you."

Shen Guyan nodded: "Sister-in-law, I understand."

Just like the two before, they looked down on her and she looked down on them.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going home first."

The excitement just now has now calmed down.

If you like me, that's good. You can leave this house then. If you don't like me, that's also fine.

"it is good."

Ji Wenhe watched her walk into the yard, and she didn't know what happened after that.

About half an hour later, Xie Fenglian smiled and saw the person out the door, followed by Qian Hongjuan.

It was not until they reached the village entrance that Liu Dali said goodbye and left. The three of them talked for a long time at the entrance of the village before Lan Qiuhua came back.

She had been waiting at the foot of the mountain, and when she saw her coming, she hurried to meet her.

"Aunt Lan, what do you say?"

Lan Qiuhua shook her head first, then smiled and said, "It's done."

"Then why are you still shaking your head? I thought it didn't work out."

She sighed, "After hearing that he could give three taels of silver, your Aunt Xie changed her mind and asked for five taels."

Ji Wenhe frowned: "Then Liu Dali agreed."

Otherwise it won’t work.

"He looked like he could come up with five taels of silver, so I took over the conversation."

Lan Qiuhua knew Xie Fenglian's personality. After giving out five taels, she might change her mind and ask for more later.

As a result, a good thing ended up in an embarrassing way. If this got out, it would be difficult for Shen Guyan to find a husband.

"I said he could only take out three taels of silver, no more, and buy Shen Guyan some clothes and shoes."

"I've given her all the money. How are the couple going to live in the future? I just can't stand the way she's obsessed with money."

"After all, she is my granddaughter. The marriage is discussed as if she is selling her. I just want to use the betrothal gift to build houses for my two grandsons."

"Aunt Lan, Aunt Qian, although she is afraid of her mother-in-law, Gu Yan is her daughter after all, so she really doesn't care about anything."

Lan Qiuhua shook her head: "Xie Fenglian is the head of their family, and her husband doesn't say a word."

"Shen Youcai is also a man who favors boys over girls. His whole family doesn't like Shen Guyan. They only think about how to get more betrothal gifts."

Ji Wenhe looked back and said, "Have you agreed on when to come over to propose marriage?"

Every day she stays in this house is a day of suffering.

"Speaking of this, I am even more angry. Xie Fenglian didn't even find someone to arrange a date and asked Liu Dali to come over in three days to propose marriage."

"Ah! Are you too anxious? You really think you are selling your daughter. Why are you so anxious?"

What a wonderful family this is!

"So I……"

Lan Qiuhua was about to tell her about her dissatisfaction when she heard Liu Dali's voice behind her.

"Aunt Lan, sister-in-law, please stay."

The two men stopped and turned to look at him in confusion.

"Dali, why are you back?"

"Aunt Lan, I want to say a few words to my sister-in-law." He looked at Ji Wenhe.

The latter looked puzzled, but still nodded and walked aside: "Do you have something you want me to convey to Gu Yan?"

Otherwise, given the interactions between them, how could he have anything to say to her.

Liu Dali nodded shyly: "Please tell my sister-in-law that I like her very much, but my reputation is not good, please let her think it over carefully."

"Didn't you mention that when you were at their house?"

"I mentioned it before, and her grandmother said she didn't care. But I wanted to ask her what she thought, but her grandmother kept..."

He kept saying that he didn't care and didn't let her speak.

Ji Wenhe understood: "Then wait here for me, I'll go ask her."

Liu Dali smiled and said, "Hey, thank you for troubling me, sister-in-law."

She waved her hand and trotted to their house. Seeing her feeding chickens in the yard, she picked up a stone and threw it in.

Shen Guyan turned around and saw that it was her. He walked up to her with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Ji Wenhe pointed to the foot of the mountain behind him and said, "He asked me to ask you if you really don't mind his reputation."

"And let me tell you, he likes you very much."

He was standing next to a big tree at the foot of the mountain, and when he saw her looking over, he immediately lowered his head.

The two men both took a liking to each other, and each was more shy than the other.

Shen Guyan twirled her fingers, lowered her eyes to look at the ground, and said shyly: "Please tell him, sister-in-law, I don't mind."

"Okay, I'll tell you, go home quickly."

Xie Fenglian came out of the house and she ran away quickly.

"I told you to feed the chickens, what are you doing standing outside?"

Perhaps because he soon received three taels of silver, his tone towards her became much nicer and no longer scolding.

Ji Wenhe repeated Shen Guyan's words to him: "Now you can rest assured."

"Well, thank you, sister-in-law."

He took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it, and inside was a string of copper coins, about one or two taels.

He untied the rope, paused, tied it again, and handed it to her.

"Sister-in-law, please help me pass this to her and let her go to town to buy some things for herself."

He was not stupid. He could tell as soon as he arrived at their house that Shen Guyan was not welcome at home and did not even have decent clothes and shoes.

Ji Wenhe was a little surprised, and said in a roundabout way: "You haven't decided yet, and you are going to let her manage the family's money so soon."

Liu Dali smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a few days earlier or later. This money is for her to buy things."

"When we get married, she will be in charge of the family money."

She smiled, took the copper coin from his hand, and carefully wrapped it in a cloth bag: "I'll give it to her later."

"Sister-in-law." After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke up, "I don't mean anything else. Tell her not to let her family know about this money."

He also saw what kind of life Shen Guyan was living at home.

"I understand, don't worry, I know what to do."

Ji Wenhe looked up at him seriously and warned him.

"When you get married, treat her well. I treat her like my own sister."

"If you do anything to let her down, or hit her or scold her, Brother Shen and I will not let you go."
