Chapter 166: Auntie's Wishful Thinking
Ye Xiaowen was kicked hard by his wife. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard Xu yelling at him.
Ye Xiaowen finally woke up from his drowsy state. He knew that his wife was not like his second son's wife, who always gossiped about other people's affairs and was never serious. His wife rarely spoke without a purpose. Ye Xiaowen's attitude suddenly became serious.
Ye Xiaowen turned over, lay on his side and looked at his wife before asking.
"I was woken up by your kick. Why don't you tell me what you want to say?"
Seeing that her man had finally woken up, Xu snorted and then spoke.
"Brother Sanlang, have you ever seen him before?"
"I have seen him. When the workshop opened, he was with Sanlang's teacher. The plaque of the workshop was unveiled by Sanlang's teacher."
"You remember it clearly. What do you think of this young man, Brother Sanlang?"
"What can I do? He looks like a well-mannered scholar!"
After hearing Ye Xiaowen's perfunctory answer, Xu became furious again and kicked Ye Xiaowen again.
"I'm asking you, what do you think of that young man?"
Ye Xiaowen grimaced in pain, recalled carefully, and then spoke.
"He's tall and thin, and he looks gentle. He's actually pretty."
"So what do you think of matching with our big girl?"
Hearing Xu's question, Ye Xiaowen was so frightened that he almost fell off the bed, staring at Xu in amazement.
"Look at that expression on your face."
"Are you thinking too much?"
"Why do you think I'm overthinking?"
"We know nothing about her. We've only met each other a few times. You don't even know her name, age, where she comes from, her family situation, and the most basic things. And you're thinking of marrying our girl?"
"How come I don't know? His last name is Liang, Liang Jingcheng. It's just the beginning of the Chinese New Year. He's eighteen this year, which is exactly the same age as the girl."
Ye Xiaowen looked at Xu in surprise. It turned out that his wife had been inquiring about other people's news for a long time.
"When did you find out about this?"
"The first time I saw this young man was last winter, when I went to the farm with my big girl to deliver a ruler to the third wife. At that time, my big girl stared at him intently, as if she had lost her soul."
Ye Xiaowen was shocked again. His daughter was too unreserved.
"You said the girl has fallen in love with the boy?"
Hearing her man ask this, Xu sighed.
"If they both like each other, that would be great, but your daughter has a crush on him and it's just unrequited love."
Ye Xiaowen showed a relaxed expression on his face. Seeing this, Xu became furious and kicked Ye Xiaowen again.
"Just based on your expression, I don't think highly of you. Do you think our girl is not good enough for that boy?"
Hearing Xu's question, Ye Xiaowen felt more confident.
"To be honest, judging from appearance alone, my daughter is indeed not worthy of this boy."
"How can they not be a good match? When men and women look at each other, it's not just their appearance that matters. Our daughter is good at housework and cooking, and she can also do sewing beautifully. How can she not be a good match?"
Ye Xiaowen suddenly remembered what his wife had said before. It seemed that this young man had bought dozens of acres of land from Li Baolin's family in Shanghe Village and spent several hundred taels. Suddenly, Ye Xiaowen also became interested.
Thinking back to when the old man was alive, although the family didn't have delicacies every day, they had a house and land, as well as a fairly generous amount of savings, so their life in Shanglin Village was quite good.
But now, except for this house, all other things were squandered by the prodigal son of the second son. The cook and maids in the house were also dismissed. They can't see any meat for three days or two, and their whole family has to go to the processing workshop to work.
Thinking about the past and then looking at the present, Ye Xiaowen wanted to get up and kick Lao Er a few times.
Liang Jingcheng was a foreigner, but he could easily take out five hundred taels of silver and buy dozens of acres of fertile land in Shanghe Village. He must have a wealthy family. Judging from his dress, he looked like a noble young man.
Now he has purchased land in Qingshan Town, and it seems that he is planning to settle down here. If his daughter can really marry into such a family, he would be so happy.
When Xu saw the change in her man's expression, she guessed that he also realized something.
"How is it? Do you have any idea? Is our daughter worthy of him?"
"Hearing what you said, I think this might really be a good match. Think about it, he is a foreigner, and a scholar, how come he came to our land, and how come he bought our land? And he is also Sanlang's senior brother. There is a saying that goes, 'The one who is close to the water gets the moon first'. This might really be a good match that God has given to our daughter!"
Hearing her husband say this, Xu's expression changed, and the couple smiled at each other.
Liang Jingcheng, who didn't know that he was being targeted by someone, felt a little dizzy. He twisted his neck, trying to wake himself up.
Liang Jingcheng then remembered that he had drunk a lot of wine and seemed to be quite drunk.
Liang Jingcheng tried to turn over, but found that he could not do so. He felt as if his body was wrapped by something, but the thing that wrapped him was so gentle and warm.
Liang Jingcheng then slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a piece of smooth white skin dotted with two pink spots. Liang Jingcheng tried to swallow his saliva, only to find that his mouth was dry and his throat was burning with pain.
Liang Jingcheng quietly looked up and saw a standing Adam's apple, as if it was a towering mountain, right in front of his eyes. Liang Jingcheng swallowed hard and continued to look upwards.
I saw two thin lips with clear contours, bright red, the dense down on the corners of the mouth was clearly visible, a pair of eyes were tightly closed on the straight nose, the thick black eyelashes were like two brushes, and on the clearly visible brow bones, the eyebrows were like two sharp swords, so delicate and moving.
Liang Jingcheng swallowed hard several times, and seemed to realize that he was actually held in Ye Changyan's warm arms. He didn't know how long he had slept, and seeing Ye Changyan's relaxed expression, it seemed that this posture made Ye Changyan feel very comfortable.
Liang Jingcheng just nestled motionlessly in Ye Changyan's arms, feeling the warmth coming from him, counting his rhythmic heartbeat, and even the breath he sprayed on his face had a refreshing sweetness. Liang Jingcheng fell asleep again in a daze.
