Chapter 238 Inspection of the Wang Family 2
Tang Xiaojing told everything he found out, "The girl's name is Wang Chunyu. She is 14 years old and lives in Wangjia Village on the outskirts of the county."
"Her father and her eldest brother are both carpenters, and they often go to the county to do carpentry work. Both of them have good character and skills. There are also her grandfather, her mother, her sister-in-law and her brother in the family, a total of seven people."
"Wang Chunyu and her mother have been setting up a stall on North Street for several years. The things on the stall are all made by her father and her brother in their spare time. The hairpins that Grandma Ye and Aunt Ye wear on their heads are those that Dong Lin had at their house. Bought from a stall."
"The Wang family's family background is pretty good. Both my father and brother are skilled in crafts. The family has 7 acres of high-quality fertile land and 5 acres of dry land, as well as a donkey cart."
"In addition, Wang Chunyu has a good reputation in the village. I heard that this girl is gentle and virtuous, and Wang Chunyu can also make some wooden gadgets. I heard from Dong Lin that the little dolls she makes are pretty good."
Mr. Ye: "This girl sounds good. She has skills and her family is in good condition."
Mr. Ye does not have high requirements for the conditions of his grandson-in-law's family, as long as she does not hold her back. For a small family like the Wang family, where both father and brother are skilled, it is considered very good.
Moreover, this girl is also skilled in craftsmanship. In the future, she will no longer be jealous of Ye Qingqing and Ye Mu making more money doing embroidery, and the family will be more harmonious.
Old Mrs. Ye also smiled and nodded: "It sounds pretty good. I'll go to Wangjia Village tomorrow to find out more and meet this Wangjia girl."
Hearing is false, seeing is believing. She still has to see this Miss Wang with her own eyes before Mrs. Ye can rest assured.
Mother Ye quickly said: "Mom, I will go with you tomorrow."
Ye Donglin is the eldest son. If he marries a bad wife, Ye's mother will worry that the brothers and sisters will gradually become estranged in the future. The eldest daughter-in-law must be carefully selected.
Father Ye: "There are also many people from Wangjia Village on the dock. I will also go and inquire about this Wangjia."
The Wang family father and son often do carpentry in the county, and they may have bought braised pork or braised pork rice at the braised pork stall.
Old Mrs. Ye pulled Tang Xiaojing and said, "Jing boy, please tell me the specific location of the Wang family. We will go to their house tomorrow and pretend to ask for directions."
Mother Ye added: "My mother has an old sister who lives in Yangjia'ao next door to Wangjia Village. When the time comes, she said she would go see this aunt."
Tang Xiaojing saw that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very interested, so he had to tell the specific location of the Wang family again.
"Grandma Ye, Aunt Ye, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so I'll take you there in a bullock cart. I've practiced some boxing and kicking at least, so I can help if anything happens."
Early the next morning, Tang Xiaojing drove an ox cart and took Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye to Wangjia Village.
The Wang family lives at the end of the village in a semi-new brick house with a very large yard.
A few people were standing not far from the Wang family. Mother Ye said softly to Tang Xiaojing: "Jing boy, wait for us here. Too many people come to the Wang family and they won't let us stay any longer. I'll just go with you, Grandma Ye."
Tang Xiao nodded and sat obediently on the bullock cart waiting for Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye.
At this time, all the men in the Wang family were doing carpentry or doing farm work in the fields. There were only women in the family, and Wang Chunyu was an unmarried woman. It was really not good for him to come to the house alone.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arranged their clothes and looked at each other. After confirming that there was no problem, Mother Ye gently knocked on the open door.
"Hello, is anyone here? Is anyone here?"
At this time, Wang Chunyu happened to be choosing vegetables with his sister-in-law Yang in the yard. When they heard the sound, they got up and came to the door.
When the two came to the door, they saw two strange women. Yang asked doubtfully: "Who are you two looking for?"
Old Mrs. Ye saw that Mr. Yang was wearing her hair in a woman's bun and that she was only seventeen or eighteen years old. She must be Mr. Yang who had just been married at the beginning of the year. The girl next to her must be her grandson's sweetheart.
Mother Ye smiled crookedly and said: "We are from Luohe Town. We came here today to visit my mother's old sisters when she was young. However, the two families have not moved together for a long time, and my mother can't remember the specific location."
"I wanted to ask you about the Yang Shulin family in Yangjia Mountain Col. My mother's sister Li was married to him back then."
"Yangjia'ao? Then you are in the wrong place. This is Wangjia Village, and Yangjia'ao is in the next village."
Yang's natal family is from Yangjia'ao, and she also knows the Yangshulin that Ye's mother mentioned. She enthusiastically told Mrs. Ye and Ye's mother how to get to Yangjia'ao and which direction to go to Yangshulin's house.
Wang Chunyu saw that the three of them were thirsty from chatting, so he went back to the house and brought out 3 bowls of boiled water.
Wang Chunyu smiled lightly, revealing two shallow dimples, "Sister-in-law, two guests, let's drink a glass of water and continue chatting."
Mrs. Ye took the water and looked at Wang Chunyu happily, "Thank you, little girl. I came here from Luohe Town early in the morning. I'm tired and thirsty."
Seeing that Mrs. Ye didn't look like bad people, Mrs. Yang let them go into the yard and sit on the stone bench in the yard to rest and drink water.
Mrs. Ye secretly looked at Wang Chunyu and Yang while drinking water.
Wang Chunyu has a round oval face and big watery eyes with clear and bright eyes. She is about the same height as Ye Qingqing. She is a delicate little beauty with a gentle and demure temperament that is quite similar to Ye's mother.
Yang is cheerful and enthusiastic, and it can be seen that the sister-in-law and sister-in-law have a good relationship. Mrs. Ye is quite satisfied with Wang Chunyu.
Mother Ye was secretly looking at the Wang family's yard. The yard was very large. There were three sheds in the corners, two of which held various types of wood, and the other one held chopped firewood.
Although the yard is large, it is very clean. There are two jujube trees and two pomegranate trees planted in the yard. It seems that this is a family that knows how to live well.
Mrs. Ye nodded towards Mother Ye, and the two were about to leave when Wang Chunyu's mother, Mrs. Li, came back.
Mrs. Li entered the yard and was stunned for a moment when she saw Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye.
Yang on the side said: "Mom, they were going to Yangjia'ao. They made a mistake and came here to ask for directions."
When Yang heard this, she realized that this was not the excuse she used to go to the Ye family. It seemed that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Ye family also came to inquire about their girl.
Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye saw Li's strange expression and understood that Li came to ask for directions before and came to inquire about their Donglin family.
Then the three of them pretended that nothing had happened and started chatting enthusiastically.
Wang Chunyu and Yang looked at each other in confusion, what was going on? Didn't these two people say they came to ask for directions? Why can't I understand a word they say?
Li looked at Wang Chunyu and said, "Xiaoyu, hurry up and go cook with your sister-in-law. Grandma Ye and Aunt Ye will have dinner at our house at noon."
"The bullock cart at the door belongs to your family, right? Let's invite the Tang family boy to have dinner with us."
When she first entered the house, Mrs. Li felt that the young man sitting on the bullock cart looked familiar. Only now did she realize that this was the future grandson-in-law of the Ye family of Tang Xiaojing.
Wang Chunyu was still confused, but Ms. Yang, who had come here, had already guessed that the two came to see her sister-in-law, and her mother-in-law should also know about this family.
However, Mrs. Yang was afraid that Wang Chunyu would be nervous, so she didn't tell her that they were here to see her. She just pulled Wang Chunyu into the kitchen.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten the food you cooked, Xiaoyu. Today I'll help you. We happen to have guests here today. Xiaoyu, please make some hard dishes to satisfy my sister-in-law's craving."
Wang Chunyu usually cooked at home and didn't think much about it. Thinking that there would be guests at noon, he took out a few eggs from the food cabinet and cut a large piece of bacon.
