The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 19 - First Accept the Betrothal Gift (2)_1

Lady Chen and Lady Zhu saw them out the door.

Why would Pei Qin just obediently let herself be looked over for marriage?

She really wanted to make a fuss, but she was worried that Lady Fang and the others would have a hard time afterward.

Although they were barely getting by as it was, if things got worse, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Not making a fuss, she had her own bad ideas brewing!

She never allowed herself to be taken advantage of – how could she let them plot against her!?

Pei Qin snorted, loaded the corn cobs, and continued pounding.

Lady Zhu came back first, while Lady Chen was still seeing Qian Dog off village’s outskirts, still laughing and talking.

Grandma Qian told her not to escort them any further, but Lady Chen did not leave, smiling and asking Qian Dog, “What do you think of our Da Ya?

She doesn’t talk much around people she’s not familiar with, plus it’s her first time being shy!

To be honest, amongst our daughters, none can compare to Da Ya in every aspect!

She’s well-proportioned and attractive; the children she bears will be beautiful too!”

At the mention of bearing beautiful children, Grandma Qian’s brow furrowed slightly but she said nothing.

It was true her son wasn’t bad-looking; his first wife wasn’t very attractive, and the children they had were…

Qian Dog’s face kept smiling, and he directly told Lady Chen, “I’m quite fond!

Thanks for putting in the effort, Auntie!”

He had been calling her “sister-in-law” before, but now he switched to “Auntie.”

Lady Chen listened and laughed, showing more gum than eye, “Great!

Then let’s settle it for now!”

“Okay!” Qian Dog responded.

“So…

do we go through the motions of exchanging tokens, or do we write a marriage contract and settle the silver money and such?” Lady Chen tentatively asked with a smile.

Qian Dog’s eyes flickered, looking at Lady Chen’s smiling face.

Thinking of Old Pei’s House situation, since Lady Fang hadn’t even shown her face, and after hearing some other matters, he wanted to settle things quickly.

He then took out a silver horn, “Let’s consider this a token of engagement for now!”

Lady Chen’s face burst into a smile, with a delighted “Oh,” “Qian Dog is so generous and straightforward!

It shows you really are fond of our Da Ya!” She quickly snatched the silver horn.

That’s two taels right there!

Grandma Qian frowned, finding Lady Chen a bit irritating – they hadn’t settled much and already she was asking for silver.

“And about the two mu of land we talked about earlier…” Lady Chen resumed with a smile.

“That’s a promise on top of everything else,” Qian Dog was indeed generous.

Lady Chen’s smile bloomed, and she saw Qian Dog and Grandma Qian off.

Returning home, she still wore a grin.

“It’s settled then?” Lady Zhu asked, also smiling.

“Of course!

If it weren’t for all my good words, with this shabby look, it would have been nothing!” Lady Chen said, huffing, narrowing her eyes in Pei Qin’s direction, “Take off the coat!”

Pei Qin looked at her scornfully, took off the coat and threw it to her, then put on her own patched coat.

Lady Chen cursed a couple of times, took the coat inside, and didn’t mention a thing about the two taels of silver engagement money.

Outside, everyone was talking – Pei Qin was really going to marry Qian Dog.

By the alley corner, beside the firewood pile, Zhang Dalang looked distressedly at the entrance of Pei’s house, anxious inside.
