Chapter 279 Too Kind

Lifen looked around in the yard, left and right.

No chickens, no ducks, no poultry of any kind.

She looked at the smiling and loving Grandma Qin, and smiled perfunctorily.

"Grandma Qin, please wait a moment. I'll have a few words with A Niu."

After that, Lifen dragged Dong A Niu aside.

She lowered her voice: "Didn't you say that your aunt is the grandmother of Princess Funing?"

"Princess, do you live in a place like this? According to legend, don't you live in a big house in the mountains?"

Dong A Niu kept saying, "My ancestors, do you dare to live in that mountain?"

"Those are used by Princess Funing to raise wolves. Look, there is another one in the yard."

Lifen looked back and saw Wolf Three sitting firmly at the door, still licking his lips, holding a skinned chicken alive under his paws.

"Oh my God!" Lifen was frightened and turned pale: "When we get married, these wolves will scare everyone away!"

Dong Aniu was in a dilemma, and he quickly said to Grandma Qin: "Auntie, can these wolves not show up when the time comes?"

Lang San has long understood human speech.

Its ears moved and it roared dissatisfied.

The donkey who was so frightened that he was pulled at the door struggled in panic and almost kicked Lifen next to him.

Grandma Qin hugged Lang San and touched him.

"Don't worry, our wolves are very sensible and will never bite anyone casually."

"On your wedding day, they were all on the mountain and wouldn't come down."

Lang San glanced at Grandma Qin and snorted with dissatisfaction.

Ning Ning, her petite little one, had told her to arrange for the wolf to come down every day to confirm Grandma Qin’s safety!

Lifen then showed a barely satisfied smile.

Grandma Qin invited them into the house, and then took out a box.

"Lifen, Aniu praised you to me, saying that you are a virtuous and good woman. This is our first meeting, and this is a meeting gift for you."

After Lifen opened it, she saw that inside the box was a pearl necklace!

Her eyes suddenly widened and her brows lit up with joy.

This pearl necklace is of excellent quality. Shen Ningning originally gave it to Grandma Qin to wear.

The old ladies in the capital all wear pearls to look good and look noble.

"Aunt, thank you for your gift. I like it very much." Lifen finally smiled.

Dong A Niu next to him said proudly: "I'm not lying to you, my aunt's family is very powerful!"

After hearing these words, Grandma Qin felt a little uncomfortable.

But she never cares about her younger generation, especially her sister's children.

So she asked: "When are you planning to get married?"

Lifen had already put on the pearl necklace by herself.

She thought for a while and said, "Just three days later!"

Grandma Qin was slightly startled: "It's so urgent."

After all, she has to wait for her sister, Mrs. Dong, to finish the first seven days, right?

Lifen saw Grandma Qin frowning, as if she was disapproving.

She winked at Dong A Niu.

Dong A Niu immediately ran to squeeze Grandma Qin's shoulders and legs.

"Aunt, you don't know that Lifen's mother is in a hurry to marry her off in exchange for money!"

"If I marry too late, I'm afraid she will be married to someone else."

Dong Aniu lowered his voice, a little embarrassed, and said in a pleading tone: "Aunt, it's not easy for me to find a daughter-in-law."

"Look at me now, I am so poor that I don't even have a house, and my second brother is not married yet. It would be great if a woman is willing to marry me..."

Grandma Qin closed her eyes.

She finally sighed: "Okay, you just decide the time."

Lifen had already stood up and said to Dong A Niu: "Take me around here."

Seeing Grandma Qin nodding, Dong Aniu pulled Lifen.

He looked beaming: "Come on, you have heard of the reputation of Xiangyun Village, right?"

"This is the richest village in our capital city..."

While the two were talking, Lifen suddenly turned to Grandma Qin's main house.

Her happy voice came from inside: "This house is nice, spacious, bright, and warm. Should we book our new house here?"

Dong A Niu was in trouble again.

"This... this is where my aunt lives. Wouldn't it be better for us to live in the West Room? It's big there too."

Lifen shook off his hand and her tone became cold: "How can anyone get married and live in the West House? I'm not a concubine."

"If you don't agree, our marriage won't work!"

Dong A Niu was anxious: "Don't be angry, I'm going to discuss it with my aunt now."

He walked outside, where Grandma Qin was helping to clean up the west room.

Dong A Niu went in and explained his purpose.

Grandma Qin's face became a little serious.

Dong A Niu said: "Aunt, we will stay here only for a few days until we get married, and then we will leave."

"I'll help you move back to this main house when the time comes."

Hearing this, Grandma Qin sighed.

"Ah Niu, I hope she is really willing to marry you. As long as you live a good life and your mother can feel at ease."

Grandma Qin agreed.

Dong A Niu told Lifen the news, and Lifen was really happy.

The two of them went to Xiangyun Village for a walk.

He would say to everyone he met: "I am a relative of Grandma Qin, and I will get married soon in Xiangyun Village."

Grandma Qin and Shen Ningning are very popular.

As soon as the villagers heard that their relative was getting married, they immediately sent gifts and congratulations.

Some were given meat, and some were given a pair of gauntlets.

Granny Chen carried the vegetable basket and went to the house, only to find that Granny Qin was cleaning up the main house alone.

"Ningning's grandmother, why are you busy again?"

"Your leg hasn't healed yet, so be careful."

Grandma Qin smiled kindly and amiably: "Aniu is my nephew, and he will soon borrow my village house to get married."

"Look, I quickly cleaned up the house so that they can live in it."

Grandma Chen was a little surprised and felt that it was inappropriate.

But then she thought that Grandma Qin was a kind-hearted person.

It was nothing wrong to treat her relatives.

Grandma Chen immediately put down the basket and helped her clean up.

Outside, Lifen walked around and found that every household in Xiangyun Village was burning with smoke.

This means that they all have meat to eat and rice and flour!

Lifen said to Dong Aniu: "We can't get married without anything."

"My sister will come that day, you know, she married an oil seller and lives a good life."

"I don't want to be outdone by her, so on our wedding day, you think of a way to make me look more respectable."

Dong Aniu was surprised: "I gave all my things to your mother. We are already penniless. What else do you want?"

Lifen rolled her eyes at him.

"You are poor, but are you stupid? To live, you need two quilts and cotton clothes?"

"Anyway, this is my request. It's very simple. You can go to the villagers and borrow some."

"And the big red lanterns, charcoal, everything you need, otherwise it will be embarrassing to get married?"

Dong Aniu scratched his head and thought it was troublesome.

But Lifen pressed him again and again, so he agreed.

After that, Dong Aniu visited every household in the village in the name of Grandma Qin and borrowed whatever he had.

"When we get married, we will return everything." He promised the villagers.

When everyone heard that it was Grandma Qin's house, they immediately generously lent it.

Chen Ye stood not far away and saw it calmly, and frowned, feeling something was wrong.

In the past two days, Shen Ningning had communicated with the emperor several times in order to let Zhang Liuye take the disaster victims to the south to plant sweet potato vines, but the result was unexpected. (End of this chapter)
