Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space Chapter 1148: Satisfaction

The two girls ate quickly, and after they finished, they sat down next to Qu Xiaoli.

"ng Lin, Auntie ca over to discuss sothing with you. The day after tomorrow, August 2nd, is a good day. We want you and Manjiang to get engaged. Once the paperwork is done, you can get married."

Although customs vary from place to place, they’re pretty much the sa when it cos to wedding traditions.

Everyone takes engagents seriously, and although they hadn’t planned on an engagent feast, the groom’s side ca directly to discuss it.

This shows the groom’s family values the bride and holds the marriage in high regard.

"Auntie, I’ll listen to you."

Wang nglin’s words made Qu Xiaoli overjoyed. She used to worry that her son marrying soone from outside would be hard to get along with, but now it seems not to be the case. It all depends on the person.

Qu Xiaoli patted Wang nglin’s hand, "I won’t let you be wronged. Although we can’t celebrate extravagantly, we can have a al with the family relatives."

"Auntie, I have no objections."

"Haha, good child. The more you are like this, the more I won’t let you be wronged.

The village engagent gift is usually eight yuan. Your uncle and I have discussed it and decided to give you fifty, and a hundred when you get married. As for the ’three turns, one sound,’ we’ll prepare that too."

Tao Yanzhen, listening on the side, was very happy. It’s not about the fifty yuan but rather the attitude.

Knowing they’ve done their best is enough. After all, they also have to consider their three sons afterward.

"Auntie, I can use a sewing machine, and a radio would be nice; we can listen to the news, opera, songs, and cody every day.

But there’s no need for a bicycle; I don’t like going out. Having one at ho is enough, no need to waste money.

Also, I have a watch, and it’s new. There’s no need to spend more money."

Qu Xiaoli nodded, "Alright, then we’ll get the sewing machine and radio, and give you money for the other two.

All these years, Manjiang’s remittances have been saved separately. They’ll all be yours in the future."

"Auntie, it’s all yours. I’ll listen to you. Besides, it’s his duty to support the family."

Other families try to get more money or things, striving to lead a separate life after marriage.

But it’s different here; Wang nglin intends to live with the elders for the rest of her life.

She partly doesn’t want to worry, but mainly, she likes the Li Family.

"Alright, we’ll talk more later."

By this ti, Tao Chunhe had finished tidying up. In just a few minutes, the engagent for his cousin was all arranged, quite the speed.

"ng Lin, Auntie wants to tell you, your uncle’s children Xue’er, Red Army, and Hongling all live at ho."

Wang nglin imdiately understood Qu Xiaoli’s intention.

"Auntie, don’t worry. I would never look down on my siblings."

Now, Qu Xiaoli was truly relieved. "ng Lin, we’ll tidy up the room Manjiang used to stay in for your new room."

Of course, Wang nglin had no objections. She nodded directly, feeling content living anywhere as long as it was with the Li Family, or rather, near Qu Xiaoli.

Then the bell rang. Qu Xiaoli hurriedly stood up, "I need to go to work. You three young ones need to be careful too."

All three nodded and left with Qu Xiaoli as they needed to gather for work allocation and everyone had to be present.

Their presence attracted a lot of attention, especially from Yan Shuping and the other three.

Qu Xiaoli was indeed courteous to them, the educated youths, but not too close.

This was the first ti they saw her being so cordial towards an educated youth.

All four of them had a bad feeling. Could it be that Wang Zhiqing was currying favor with the village chief’s wife?

Thinking about this, the four of them moved closer.

Originally, two people were talking and laughing quietly, but seeing others approach, they suppressed their smiles.

"Auntie."

All four greeted her.

Qu Xiaoli knew they had inappropriate thoughts about her son, which she wouldn’t entertain even before. Needless to say, now there was already a future daughter-in-law.

So she greeted them with a calm expression.

Li Cunshan started assigning tasks at this ti.

All fifty able-bodied n in the village were responsible for pulling peanuts, while others were tasked with bundling. A dozen or so handled loading, and the remaining young adolescents and the elderly picked peanuts.

Anyway, a whole group of people went to the peanut field.

Li Yungui went looking for Old Yang today, hearing his eldest son was getting engaged, and it was to Wang Zhiqing.

"Congratulations."

"Haha, when children grow up, they beco a burden. Once they marry and start a family, our task is complete."

"No problem with the pork. I’ll get it for you the day before." They needed so pork at ho too; Xiao Jiang wanted pig bones to make soup for the wife. It’s nothing.

Li Yungui felt reassured, "Old Yang, where will you get it from? Going to the city? I was thinking of having Manjiang notify his uncle about the good news, but he’s too busy with the peanut harvest. If you go to the city, could you inform my older brother about Manjiang’s engagent?"

"Then I’ll go to the city."

Old Yang had no objections. Li Yungui was a good person, and after interacting for many years, he had a very good impression of him.

Zhao Xiaoli was listening on the side, and after Li Yungui left, she spoke up.

"Who brought this up anyway?"

"Who cares? As long as they’re willing, that’s what matters."

"That Wang Zhiqing is so pretty; must be a blow for the young n who had their eyes on him," Zhao Xiaoli said with a laugh.

Old Yang could see his wife was very interested in this issue, so he chatted along, casually.

Wei Kaiyun and the others also heard about Li Yungui finding an educated youth as a daughter-in-law.

"That Wang Zhiqing is quite nice, has a good character. Li Manjiang is lucky."

Wei Kaiyun just listened to his wife; he never really cared about these things. In fact, he was a very indifferent person, rarely concerning himself with matters not his own.

"Do you think Li Yungui will invite us to the feast?" It seed like a big engagent feast was planned; otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked Old Yang to get at.

It’s also apparent that the Li Family is very satisfied with Wang nglin.

"Probably not, as extravagant celebrations are prohibited. But during the wedding, we might be able to join for a al."

"Haha, it’ll be quite lively. Their couple is well-liked in the village."

"If we were to have a wedding, it would surely be even livelier."

Jiang Xinyu suddenly thought about having her daughter and son as flower children, then burst into laughter.

Wei Kaiyun was still waiting for his wife’s answer, but she just laughed. He asked why but got no response.

He wondered what he said that made her so happy but still didn’t get an answer.
