Chapter 135 As expected of you, you're so wicked.
Yang Fenglan didn't care about the land. She had money in her hands and didn't go into the mountains frequently. Only occasionally, when her best friend invited her, would the two of them go for a stroll in Nanshan.
They dared not venture too deep into the area, and thus, they had not yet found a place to escape the famine.
“Summer is coming, and the drought will get worse. We don’t have time to waste.” Yang Fenglan frowned. “We can only ask others.”
"Ask whom?"
“Zhou Jingyi, don’t forget, he goes hunting often. I asked him, and he’s been to Nanshan.”
Xu Yingying rolled her eyes. "Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier! You could have just asked your son. You made me run around for so many days for nothing."
Yang Fenglan: ...
She has her own reasons for doing this.
The search for a new location was put on hold for the time being.
Now, every household is busy sharpening their knives to harvest wheat.
Yang Fenglan also has three mu of land, and she not only has to harvest wheat, but she also has to harvest it herself—at critical times, she can't show off her wealth, and such a small amount of land isn't worth hiring someone to do.
"Sigh, Fenglan, are we just forcing ourselves to suffer now?" Xu Yingying sighed.
Yang Fenglan nodded solemnly, "Isn't it just about enduring hardship without any real suffering?"
Before the two could finish their conversation, Long Aotian suddenly appeared, urging Xu Yingying to go home. "Stop talking, hurry back to watch the show, I can't wait!"
Yang Fenglan asked what kind of play they wanted to see.
Xu Yingying briefly told her what happened at the Xu family home that night and mentioned that she wanted to eat separately.
Yang Fenglan immediately got to the heart of the matter: "Would the old lady agree?"
“I guessed not, so I came up with a plan.”
"Tell me quickly, I'll give you some advice," Yang Fenglan urged eagerly.
If it weren't for Grandma Xu being so annoying, she would definitely go to her best friend's house to sit on a stool, eat sunflower seeds, and watch the show.
“First of all, the old widow won’t let me have a peaceful life, so I won’t let her have a peaceful life either.” Xu Yingying said with a wicked smile, “I invited a matchmaker to my house to arrange a marriage for her.”
Yang Fenglan remained silent for a while, then gave a thumbs up, "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant."
As for matchmaking, Old Mrs. Xu would certainly not agree to it for the sake of her reputation.
Xu Yingying's goal was not to consider whether the old lady agreed or not, as long as this happened, the whole village would know that the old lady was a troublesome character.
“This is just the first move. I’ll anger the old lady, and then my parents will pretend to be seriously ill and refuse to help with the wheat harvest. I don’t believe the Xu family will tolerate us eating together.” Xu Yingying raised her chin.
Yang Fenglan gave a thumbs-up in agreement, "Amazing, as expected of you, 666, you're just too wicked."
"It's not convenient for me to show up. Just remember the details and tell me about them later."
"must!"
Not long after Xu Yingying returned home, Du Meiniang, a well-known matchmaker from the surrounding villages, came to her door.
It was noon, and most of the Xu family members were at home.
They stared at each other, puzzled. Why would a matchmaker suddenly come to visit?
Du Meiniang said, "It was Xu Qianshi who invited me here."
Xu Qianshi is the same person as Old Lady Xu.
When the name of Old Mrs. Xu was mentioned, the people from the second and third wives all looked towards the eldest wife's house.
In the family, the only unmarried woman of marriageable age is Xu Yingying, that wretched girl.
It must be that her mother finds her too troublesome and wants to marry her off.
Hurry up and marry this troublemaker off, so the Xu family can have some peace again!
Everyone prayed silently in their hearts.
When Grandma Xu came out of the outhouse, she was startled to see everyone gathered under the eaves.
When he saw the matchmaker again, he was completely bewildered.
Xu Meiniang said that she had come to arrange a marriage.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu instinctively assumed that some young man had taken a liking to Xu Yingying.
She was so excited and happy that she didn't even ask what the man's conditions were before immediately nodding in agreement.
