The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1429 Those destined to meet will meet; those not destined will not meet even face to face.

So Dege'er went on and on about how he was praising Big Head Dog, which made the village chief very much looking forward to this future grandson-in-law.

When Sun Shan heard that De Ge'er was acting as a matchmaker, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Big-Headed Dog has been in Yuanlu County for over a year, hoping every day that Granny Wang will introduce him to potential partners through her friends. He waited and waited, but his neck grew long and there was still no news.

Granny Wang did manage to develop several close female friends, but none of them were of any use, and she still couldn't solve Big Head Dog's major life event.

Actually, Granny Wang was so busy gathering intelligence that she forgot about Big Head Dog's important life event.

Brother De is really reliable. He immediately started matchmaking. He's incredibly proactive and decisive.

The village chief asked somewhat sheepishly, "Sir, what's Big-Headed Dog like? Do you think he's a good match?"

The village chief didn't know what the big-headed dog was called either, but seeing everyone else calling it that, he started calling it that too.

How could Sun Shan know whether Big Head Dog and the village chief's granddaughter were a good match?

Anyway, Big Head Dog looked like he was "eager to get married," and everyone in the backyard of the yamen knew about it.

Since this is the first time we've had this "destiny" to visit, I should at least scratch the big-headed dog's head.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Village chief, this brother of mine is named Sun Dingxin. He's in his early twenties and works in the kitchen in the backyard. He's honest and kind, cheerful and always smiling, and he's an excellent worker."

Big-Headed Dog's mother consulted fortune teller Sun Banxian, who said she was lacking in metal. So, she got a "Xin" character, which will surely solve her lack.

Sun Shan couldn't say exactly how old Big Head Dog was, but he was the same age as De Ge'er and still unmarried, so he was already considered an older single man.

Seeing the villager's puzzled look, Sun Shan decided to step up his efforts: "This brother of mine has been playing with me since we were little, and we have a deep bond."

He gave the village chief a knowing look, which was quite meaningful.

Upon hearing this, the village chief's eyes lit up.

I grew up with Lord Sun; oh my, that's a friendship we had since we were kids.

Master De was right; he truly is Lord Sun's confidant.

The village chief asked hesitantly, "Sir, why is your brother, who is over twenty, still unmarried?"

I'm really afraid that if something goes wrong, my granddaughter will be left with nothing to cry about after she gets married.

Sun Shan spoke frankly: "Village chief, what else could it be? He's just poor. He has no money and can't get married."

The village chief choked, for the reason was so blatant, so blatantly obvious.

Before we arrived, Master De said so, and Lord Sun said so too. It seems the family is quite poor.

Should we marry our granddaughter into the family?

Firstly, it was so poor; secondly, it was so far away; and thirdly, Big Bird Village was starting to prosper.

Wouldn't it be better to keep them by your side?

Sun Shan continued, "But don't worry, village chief, our village has gradually become richer in recent years. Hehe, my brother here can also make money now, and his life is definitely much better than that of farmers outside."

Upon hearing this, the village chief's eyes lit up again.

As Mr. De also said, Big Head Dog's family gradually became wealthy.

The reason we were poor before was entirely because Lord Sun rose to prominence late.

If he had gone to high school earlier, Sunjia Village would have been much wealthier, and Big Head Dog might already be married with children.

Mr. De also said that everything seemed predestined; it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early or late.

As the saying goes, those destined to meet will meet even if they are a thousand miles apart, while those not destined to meet will not meet even if they are face to face.

Seeing that the village chief was actually quite interested, Sun Shan explained the big-headed dog's background in detail.

Finally, I'd like to add: "Village chief, these things aren't up to you or me to decide; it has to be your granddaughter's decision. Why don't you ask her what she thinks?"

To everyone's surprise, the village chief was extremely authoritarian and said matter-of-factly, "Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. Whether my granddaughter is willing or not is unimportant, Lord Sun. I will definitely help her see the situation clearly. Would I harm her?"

Sun Shan: ......

Okay, whatever the village chief says goes. The village chief has the final say.

While Sun Shan was having a heart-to-heart talk with the village chief, Big Head Dog, his face flushed, went to Su Shi and Sister Yun.

Little Fatty stared wide-eyed at Big Head Dog, wondering why the usually carefree Big Head Dog was talking. She shook her head and coughed.

The big-headed dog scratched his head and stammered, "Madam, Madam, could you please take a look at that girl for me?"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't lift her head anymore, her whole body as shy as a boiled shrimp.

The little chubby girl became even more curious. She took long strides and eagerly ran to the big-headed dog, tilting her head up to look at its face, her eyes sparkling.

Curious, I asked, "Uncle Big-Headed Dog, what's wrong with your face? Why is it so red? Are you sick?"

The little black girl nodded seriously, "I think she's sick; she probably didn't drink the ginger soup."

After being told such things by the two little kids, the big-headed dog's already rosy cheeks turned even redder, as if they were about to bleed.

He shook his head vigorously, like a rattle: "I, I'm not sick. You're just a kid, don't talk nonsense."

When Su heard that Dege was introducing a potential partner to Big Head Dog, she slapped her thigh and said happily, "Oh, this is a good thing. Dege is really reliable. He's only been here a few days and he's already found you a match? It's true that we grew up together wearing open-crotch pants."

Then he asked, "What's the girl like? Where is she from? Please take us to meet her."

When the village chief's granddaughter was mentioned, Big Head Dog's face, which had been dripping with blood, turned black and purple. He said intermittently, "Madam, I, I don't know anything. I, I only saw her once, and I don't know anything else."

After Dege and his group returned, Big Head Dog busied himself boiling water, cooking rice, and making ginger soup.

When I was working as a "waiter," I saw a girl join the queue, but I was only curious for a moment and didn't think much of it.

Little did he know that as soon as he turned around, Dege told him that he was going to introduce him to a girl, the one from earlier, who was the village chief's granddaughter.

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because once it was mentioned, Big Head Dog panicked and started working clumsily, even breaking a porcelain basin belonging to the master, for which he received a serious warning from Granny Wang.

Big-Headed Dog was in a state of turmoil and couldn't hear what the outsiders were saying. He stayed in the kitchen, too afraid to go out.

Occasionally, when there was a noise outside, she would shyly peek out.

He wanted to see the girl one more time, but he was also afraid to see her.

After everyone had finally dispersed, Big Head Dog reluctantly went to Su Shi and Sister Yun for help.

Upon hearing that the woman was the granddaughter of the village chief of Big Bird Village and had even brought her along, Su's gossipy, triangular eyes flashed like neon lights.

They asked gossipily, "The young lady is here too? Then we have to meet her and help you choose. Oh dear, before you came, your mother was worried about your marriage. These days, she's been trying to find you a match, but unfortunately, she doesn't know anyone here. This is wonderful, someone has come to act as a matchmaker, what a great thing!"

Su thought to herself that it would be good enough if any girl was willing to marry someone with Big Head Dog's conditions.

There's no way to compare it to her mountain.

Back then, countless girls wanted to marry Shanzi from his family.

Hmph, those toads are hardly worthy of my mountain.

Madam Su glanced at Yun Jie'er furtively, and thought, "Hmph, this one is one of them too."

It's a pity it can't even produce a single arrowhead, it's useless!
