In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 99: Big Brother's Marriage

Chen Ruotong looked at Chen Dahai's silly look and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Brother, if you don't tell me, Grandpa will arrange a blind date for you!"

Chen Dahai was anxious. "Grandpa, listen to me. I like a girl from a farm not far from my farm. I don't even know her name, but I think she's very capable. I heard she's the owner of the farm, but I haven't made any inquiries yet. Fourth brother, can you send someone to help me find out?"

When Chen Ruotong heard this, she was shocked. Her elder brother must be so anxious that he could find a partner on his own without a matchmaker. He really is a capable man!

Chen Ruotong patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I'll leave this matter to you. I'll find out everything clearly for you. Just wait for good news, hahaha..."

Chen Ruotong agreed to find out information about the girl for Chen Dahai, which was naturally what Chen Dahai wanted. He happily ran back to the small farm to work.

Chen Ruotong sent Feng Liangyu to investigate the details of the woman. Two days later, Feng Liangyu brought back the news.

The woman's name was Leng Xueqin, and she was the eldest daughter of the landlord Leng in the city. The landlord's family was considered a wealthy family, and although they didn't have as much property as the old man Chen's family, they still lived a rich life.

Leng Xueqin is eighteen years old this year. She looks average and has a dark complexion.

Logically, she should have been of marriageable age, but her ex-fiancé died of illness a month before the wedding.

The Leng family thought this was a bad omen, saying that she had a hard life and had killed her fiancé. Fearing that it would affect the marriages of other brothers and sisters, they sent her to the farm.

Leng Xueqin was a stubborn and strong woman. She did not give up on herself or complain about her family's hardship on the farm. Instead, she was very optimistic and hardworking, loved life, and worked in the fields with the tenant farmers.

She got satisfaction and happiness from farming. She planted hope and harvested abundant fruits. Two years of farming life made her accumulate experience and become a good farmer. In ancient times, such women were rare.

Chen Dahai was farming on the farm and met her when he was buying seeds. She was cheerful, sunny and generous. Chen Dahai fell in love with her at first sight. He rejected every matchmaker who came to propose marriage.

When the family knew about Leng Xueqin's situation, they all felt that this woman was a qualified mistress of the house. The Chen family didn't care that she had denied marriage and killed her fiancé. They didn't believe in those things, as long as the person was good, it was better than anything else. If the two of them could get married, it would not be difficult to increase the grain production on the farm, and their life would be prosperous.

Chen Ruotong invited Li the matchmaker to come and ask her to be the matchmaker for Chen Dahai. Li the matchmaker was very happy because she had become the exclusive matchmaker for the old Chen family. She had received many benefits from the Chen family and happily went to the Leng family to propose marriage.

When the landlord Leng heard this, he thought that the daughter of a husband-killer, who was so old and not good-looking, could be favored by the landlord Chen's family. This was a blessing he had earned in several lifetimes! He had to agree to this good thing, as he was marrying up. The Chen family was financially strong, and many people wanted to marry into their family, but his family got the upper hand. The landlord Leng was so happy that he couldn't sleep.

The next day, Landlord Leng took Leng Xueqin back home, raised her well, and waited for the Chen family to propose marriage.

Matchmaker Li returned to Chen's house and told him that Leng's family readily agreed to the marriage proposal. Chen Dahai was so happy that he could finally meet the girl he loved again and she would become his daughter-in-law in the future. He didn't even feel tired when working.

Leng Xueqin was also surprised to learn that Chen Dahai wanted to propose to her. She had seen Chen Dahai before. He was tall, strong, and square. Although he was not handsome, he was very manly. He left a good impression on her, but she did not think much about it and did not dare to have any extravagant hopes. Unexpectedly, the man fell in love with her, and she was very happy.

Both of them are looking forward to meeting each other and getting engaged as soon as possible.

Chen Ruotong also gave the same betrothal gift to Chen Dahai, and Chen Dahai was also very grateful.

On April 26, the land had been planted, and Matchmaker Li led Old Man Chen, Chen Jianshu, and Chen Dahai to the Leng family to propose marriage.

The Leng family warmly received the few people, and after a round of greetings, they completed the meeting process according to the procedures.

Chen Dahai and Leng Xueqin fell in love at first sight, and both were very satisfied with each other.

Old Man Chen and Landlord Leng decided to have a blind date at Baiweilou on May 26. At this point, Chen Dahai finally felt relieved.

Chen Ruotong also felt that she had successfully completed her mission. After her brothers got married, she wanted to go to the capital to take a look, walk around, and appreciate the beautiful scenery of Daliang.

After the marriage proposal ceremony, everyone in the Chen family was in high spirits. If nothing went wrong, the eldest and the second son would be able to get married one after another this year.

Chen Ruotong thought it would be a great honor for her two brothers to get married at the same time, so she told her family about this idea, and everyone thought it was a good idea, marrying two wives at once would be a lot more fun and save trouble.

Old man Chen took the two people's engagement cards and calculated the date. He found that the day of the second son's wedding was also a good day for the eldest son's wedding, so they decided to get married together.

After the matter was settled, the Chen family informed the Leng family, and the Leng family happily agreed.

After Chen Dahai's work was done, the seedlings in Chen Ruotong's greenhouse had grown very tall and strong. The weather was also warm, and the seedlings could be moved outside and planted in the ground.

Chen Ruotong organized the tenant farmers to carefully plant the seedlings, and she supervised the whole process. The tenant farmers knew that this was a new vegetable and very valuable, so they planted it carefully and seriously.

Pepper seedlings, tomato seedlings, and watermelon seedlings, each seedling was planted in four acres of land, but I don’t know yet whether they can bear fruit!

Chen Ruotong also anticipated that due to the relationship between water, soil and seeds, the fruits might be much smaller, but it is better than nothing, and she is looking forward to the autumn harvest.

Chen Ruotong found books about these crops in the space, and printed out their growth habits, pest and disease control, and daily management methods, bound them into a booklet, and gave them to Chen Jianshu.

Chen Jianshu led the tenant farmers to learn the knowledge in the booklet and to take care of the few acres of land according to the methods in the booklet. They also looked forward to the successful planting of new vegetables and the harvest.

As for Zhen Yu, he sent people to monitor the Wan family in the manor. He found that a carriage left the manor every five days, which meant that they were going to flee to southern Xinjiang in batches.

The first group of people who were tracking them have sent back news that the Wan family's housekeeper and Wan Baocai's eldest son are about to arrive in southern Xinjiang. They presumably believe that southern Xinjiang is their base.

The southern border is the dividing line between Daliang and foreign countries. It is a place where all kinds of people mix together and it is a no-man's land. It is a good place to escape to.
