Chapter 30: Three People Make a Tiger

"Goat, goat milk?!"

Zhao Old Woman hurriedly wiped the water off her hands, took it over, and sniffed the goat milk in the jar, shouting with excitement: "Oh my, it really is goat milk! This thing is very expensive!"

"Not expensive, not expensive, our family has plenty of this." Jiang Wei waved her hand indifferently, and seeing Zhao Old Woman's envious expression, she said again:

"You don't know yet, the Lao Li family has now hugged the thigh of the Huang family in the county seat, and in the future, they can eat as much goat milk as they want."

"Huang family?"

Zhao Old Woman subconsciously looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao on the side. Wasn't it said a few days ago that the Li family wanted to sell the child to the Huang family?

How come now...

"You don't know, that Huang family in the county seat is a famous wealthy family. Girls who marry in will wear gold and silver, enjoy endless glory and wealth! The Lao Li family has long wanted to marry their daughter into his family!"

"..." Jiang Xiaoxiao listened silently to her mother's fabrication. She probably knew what her mother was planning...

"But..." Zhao Old Woman mentioned the incident a few days ago, "Wasn't it said earlier that the Huang Family Young Master had a hidden illness and was a sick seedling?"

"That hidden illness was cured long ago, and the Huang family is celebrating by taking a maiden for his son. I heard when I went to town yesterday that many families' girls want to marry in!"

Jiang Wei said it with nose and eyes, and Jiang Xiaoxiao on the side also echoed a few words: "Yes, Zhao Grandma, Mother and I saw it in town. That Huang Family Young Master is full of energy, riding a big brown-red horse and running on the street, not looking like a sick seedling at all!"

Sorry, that county yamen big brother who was riding a horse... Jiang Xiaoxiao said silently.

After the mother and daughter sang in harmony, Zhao Old Woman completely believed this matter.

Jiang Wei immediately said: "It's a pity, the Huang family has already set a marriage with the Lao Li family. The wife will be chosen between my little sister-in-law and Jinbao niece. I don't know who will marry whom..."

"Yes, who will marry over?" Zhao Old Woman also followed with curiosity.

Seeing that the purpose had been achieved, Jiang Wei took Jiang Xiaoxiao and left.

On the way, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at her mother, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

"What are you looking at." Jiang Wei glanced at her.

"Nothing." Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head like a rattle. She just didn't expect her mother to treat the Lao Li family in this way.

Borrowing Zhao Old Woman's mouth to spread the news of the marriage between the Li family and the Huang family to everyone, making the Li family unable to get off the tiger.

Before a day passed, the news that the Lao Li family had set a marriage with the Huang family had spread throughout Yuhe Village.

Under the big locust tree in the village, Zhao Old Woman was chatting with several old women about the gossip she heard today with added oil and vinegar.

"You don't know, the Huang family is so rich in the county seat! Not only is the mansion they live in big, but there is also a large group of maids and old women serving them, drinking goat milk every day, wearing gold and silver, and that Huang Family Young Master is riding a brown-red big horse worth dozens of taels and running on the street!"

Li Xiufen, who was passing by on her way home, couldn't help but stop.

"Yo, Xiufen, why are you here?" Several old women soon discovered Li Xiufen who was eavesdropping.

"None of your business!"

Li Xiufen was used to being arrogant at home, and she didn't give a good face to several elders when she saw them, turning around and leaving.

"Pah, this girl's temper is really smelly, always learning that set from her mother! I don't know which man will want her with this appearance!"

Hearing the sarcasm coming from behind, Li Xiufen bit her lips hatefully and quickened her pace home.

As soon as she got home, she rushed into the Li Old Woman's arms.

"Mother, I want to marry the Huang Family Young Master!"

"What? You said what?!" The Li Old Woman suspected she had heard wrong, and hurriedly helped her daughter up, "Why do you want to marry that sick seedling! This isn't harming you!"

"I don't care! I want to marry him! I want to wear gold and silver! I want to drink goat milk every day! I want those maids and old women to serve me every day, and let that group of country bumpkins who say I can't get married envy me!" Li Xiufen cried and made a scene regardless.

"And, Mother, you lied to me! That Huang Family Young Master is fine! Many people saw him riding a big horse on the street, where does he look like a sick seedling? You clearly wanted Li Jinbao to marry over, so you lied to me!"

"I, I didn't..." The Li Old Woman was also a little confused at this moment. Could it be that what Li Shoude said was all true?

Was the Huang Family Young Master's illness really cured?

"Daughter, did you really see the Huang Family Young Master riding a horse on the street?" The Li Old Woman couldn't help but confirm again.

"How can it be fake!" Li Xiufen widened her eyes, "So many people saw it, how can it be fake? If you don't believe it, go out and ask!"

The Li Old Woman still didn't believe it, so she went out to inquire about the news after comforting Li Xiufen.

The few old women who usually talked to Zhao Old Woman were also loose-lipped and had long spread this matter to everyone.

The Li family Old Woman asked a few old women she usually talked to, and it was indeed as her daughter said.

Her eyes lit up, and she ran home impatiently.

At night.

The Li family gathered in the main room. The Li Old Couple sat at the head of the kang, and Li Xiufen sat beside the Li Old Woman like a proud peacock, holding her head high.

Li Shoude and his wife were full of doubts: "Mother, why did you call us over late at night?"

Ever since the last incident, this was the first time Zhu Shi was allowed to step into the main room.

The scratches on her face hadn't healed yet, and she followed Li Shoucai with a face full of scars, her eyes rolling around.

"Tonight, I want to notify you of one thing. Let your sister marry into the Huang family!" The Li Old Woman cleared her throat and said, "Shoude, hurry up and notify the Huang family to set the wedding date."

"Mother, why are you suddenly in such a hurry? Didn't you..."

"Hurry for what? Your sister is already fifteen years old! I was already pregnant with you at this age!" Before Li Shoude finished speaking, the Li Old Woman scolded him, "Don't delay your sister's happiness, hurry up and notify the Huang family to marry your sister in!"

"That's right, Brother, hurry up and let the Huang Family Young Master marry me! After I enjoy the blessings in the future, I won't forget your family's help!"

As she spoke, Li Xiufen also proudly glanced at Li Jinbao on the side.

"But..." Li Shoude still wanted to speak, but was quietly pulled by Sun Shi beside him.

"Mother, don't worry, Shoude will go talk to the Huang family tomorrow." Sun Shi signaled Li Shoude with a look, and turned to Li Xiufen with a face full of smiles:

"Little Sister-in-law, you will be the young mistress of the Huang family after you marry in. Remember our family's goodness in the future!"

"That is natural." Li Xiufen was so comfortable by Sun Shi's flattery that she raised her chin high and looked down at the few people under the kang, as if she really regarded herself as the young mistress of the Huang family.
