Capítulo 1499: Chapter 1499: Second Sister Zhou’s Marriage Proposal
This matter was settled just like that. After lunch, Shu Yu went to visit the tenants and brought up Jiang Kuanyu discreetly.
Unfortunately, Jiang Kuanyu was very cautious. Although he seed amicable, talking and laughing with the tenants, he actually maintained a distance and revealed no information.
Shu Yu had no choice but to return to the Manor and chatted with Little Ya’er.
However, the little girl had even less contact with Jiang Kuanyu. Apart from the two days around the ti her grandfather was murdered, Little Ya’er had only seen him a few tis over the years.
Regarding Jiang Kuanyu, this trip clearly yielded no fruitful results.
As it was getting late, Shu Yu decided to head back.
Zhou Qiao had already packed her baggage and left with them directly.
Little Zaozao was extrely excited sitting in the carriage. Having taken a nap earlier, she was well-rested and couldn’t sit still, twisting and turning endlessly.
Zhou Qiao almost couldn’t hold her, “It’s not like you haven’t been on a carriage before, what are you so excited about?”
The old lady distracted Little Zaozao with a rag doll, smiling, “She’s still young, even if she’s been on a carriage before, she wouldn’t rember.”
“Ah ah ah…” Little Zaozao reached out with chubby hands to grab it, and Zhou Qiao got pulled forward with her.
Shu Yu quickly reached out to catch them, conveniently taking this troublemaker into her arms.
Her strength was considerable, so holding Little Zaozao wasn’t hard for her.
Zhou Qiao let out a breath, rubbed her arm, and said sowhat helplessly, “This girl is full of energy. Grandmother, you’ll have to take on quite a bit looking after her in the coming days.”
The old lady waved her hand, “What do you an by taking on quite a bit? We have servants at ho, if one takes her for a while, it’s enough ti for you to be back in the evening. You know, when you return to Shangshi Village, just do as you’re told. Whatever your mother-in-law asks, just do it. She has her own ideas and doesn’t like taking advice from others. Actually, Lanhua’s marriage arrangents are almost done. I’ve already instructed enough on things, but your mother-in-law is demanding and always afraid sothing is missing.”
“I understand, I’ll just observe and learn. It’s just as well, with so experience, I’ll know what to do when it cos to arranging my sisters’ marriages.”
When she ntioned the other girls in the Zhou family, the old lady asked with concern, “I rember your second sister is also old enough, just a year younger than Yu, right?”
“Yes.” Zhou Qiao said with a bitter smile, “So this ti, I’m not just going back to help my mother-in-law, I also want to ask my second sister what she thinks.”
“Does she have soone in mind already?”
Zhou Qiao shook her head, “No, a few days ago my father ca to the Manor to see and said that my second aunt wanted to introduce so relative from her side to my second sister. Grandmother, you know my second aunt, she’s always focused on money, so I’m really not comfortable leaving my second sister’s marriage up to her.”
But Mother Zhou had already passed away, and the closest female relative was only her second aunt.
She was very eager to arrange this marriage.
However, Zhou Qiao was not willing. Her sisters were all well-behaved, so they didn’t need to find a wealthy family. As long as the other party was hardworking, caring, and wouldn’t mistreat them, it would be fine.
Her and her second aunt’s standards were just different.
The old lady nodded, “Your sister’s marriage indeed needs you to handle it yourself. So, do you have soone suitable in mind?”
Hearing this, Zhou Qiao pursed her lips and smiled, whispering, “I have a good opinion of Ruan Dali and Dazhuang.”
She had been living at the Manor, and the only people she knew were the staff at the workshops and the tenants next door. She wasn’t familiar with anyone else.
