The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 296 Asking the Child's Feelings

At this time, at the village chief's house, after dinner, the village chief's wife took Yuanyuan into her room.

Yuanyuan saw her mother carefully close the door, with a mysterious look on her face. She looked at her curiously and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? What do you want to say to me in the room?"

The village head's wife looked at her daughter's rosy face, took her hand, and asked softly, "Yuanyuan, what do you think of Lin Ping?"

"Lin Ping? He's pretty good. He's smart, well-educated, and polite!"

Yuanyuan tilted her head and said, wondering why her mother suddenly mentioned Lin Ping?

Hearing that her daughter had a good impression of Lin Ping, the village head's wife thought that this marriage was possible. She took Yuanyuan's hand, sat on the bed with her, and said with a smile: "Yuanyuan, when I was chatting with your Aunt Cao today, I mentioned Lin Ping's marriage."

At this point, she paused, wanting to see Yuanyuan's reaction. As a result, Yuanyuan's face showed no unusual expression. She thought her daughter might not have come to her senses yet, so she said to her directly: "Your Aunt Cao and I both think that it would be great if you and Lin Ping could get together. Yuanyuan, what do you think?"

"Get together?"

Yuanyuan's already rosy face became even redder. Is her mother looking for a marriage for her?

"Yes, you see, you are the same age as Lin Ping. Lin Ping is an excellent child. He will definitely not let you suffer in the future. Your Aunt Cao also likes you very much. After you marry her, not only will she not embarrass you, but she will also love you like her own child. Your father and I don't want you to marry far away. Isn't it great to marry in your own village? If you miss your parents, you can go back to your parents' home anytime!"

"Besides, you get along well with Lin Xi, Lin Kang, and Lin An. You don't have to worry about getting along with your brother-in-law and sister-in-law if you marry them. What a great thing! I know several people in our village who are thinking about marrying their daughters or nieces to the Lin family! If you also like Lin Ping, our two families should settle this matter as soon as possible!"

The village head's wife carefully analyzed to Yuanyuan the benefits of marrying Lin Ping, and the more she talked, the more she felt that this was a rare and good marriage.

Yuanyuan listened to her mother's words, and thought about Lin Xi's previous words to match her up with Lin Kang. She felt confused. Lin Kang's cheerful face flashed through her mind, followed by Lin Ping's handsome face.

After the village head's wife finished speaking, she saw her daughter frowning and saying nothing, so she asked softly, "What's wrong with Yuanyuan? Don't you want to marry into the Lin family?"

"No, mom, when I was with Sister Lin Xi and Sister Daya, we talked about our marriage!"

Yuanyuan told her mother about Lin Xi's matchmaking between her and Lin Kang.

"Lin Kang? He's a good kid, but he's a little older than you. But your aunt Cao seems to want to bring Lin Kang and Daya together! Yuanyuan, what do you think? Do you like Lin Ping or Lin Kang more?"

The village chief's wife thinks that both Lin Kang and Lin Ping are good children, and the most important thing now is to figure out what her daughters are thinking.

Seeing Yuanyuan pouting her lips and frowning without saying anything, it was obvious that she hadn't made up her mind yet. The village head's wife sighed, took her in her arms and said, "My girl, think about this carefully these few days. We have to make a decision quickly. Otherwise, if you end up choosing Lin Kang, and your Aunt Cao tells Lin Kang about Daya, that would be a bad thing!"

"Mom, let me think about it again!"

After Yuanyuan finished speaking, she lay down on her bed and covered her face with the quilt.

Seeing this, the village chief's wife couldn't bear to urge her any longer. She helped her take off her shoes, covered her with a quilt, and then left Yuanyuan's room.

"What's wrong with you? You look so worried?"

When the village chief saw his wife return to the house, he sat on the bed in silence, looking thoughtful. He patted her shoulder and asked.

The village chief's wife told the village chief about her conversation with Yuanyuan.

"Lin Kang likes Yuanyuan!"

The village chief said cheerfully, stroking his beard.

"Lin Kang has chosen Yuanyuan? Her father, you can't just talk about this!"

The village chief's wife looked at him in disbelief, and then looked outside the door carefully, fearing that someone would hear what she said.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Today at lunch, I saw Lin Kang always secretly looking at our daughter. His eyes were not right. Today, I heard you say that Miss Lin Xi was trying to match Lin Kang and Yuan Yuan. I am very sure that Lin Kang must have fallen in love with our Yuan Yuan. Otherwise, with Miss Lin Xi's temper, how could she match people up so easily?"

The village chief said with certainty.

The village head's wife was naturally happy to hear this, but when she thought of her daughter's conflicted look, she became a little worried.

"Her father, what do you think will happen if Yuanyuan falls in love with Lin Ping? Lin Kang likes Yuanyuan. If Yuanyuan marries Lin Ping, won't it be awkward for the uncle and his sister-in-law to get along with each other in the future?"

The village chief was not worried at all. He took off his coat, blew out the oil lamp, lay down on the bed, yawned, and said, "Yuanyuan is still young, don't worry, let her think about it carefully, and don't think too much, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!"

Seeing that her husband fell asleep after lying there for a while, the village head's wife slapped him angrily, took off her coat and got into bed.

But I couldn't fall asleep because I tossed and turned.

No, I still have to keep an eye on my daughter. As soon as she makes a decision, I will quickly find Sister Cao to arrange the marriage. It’s not easy to find such a good in-law family.

The village chief's wife made a secret decision in her heart and did not fall asleep until the second half of the night.

After Lin Xi and his family looked at their newly built yard, they walked up the mountain for a while and entered Jiezhu.

Xiaobai and the other three quickly prepared dinner without Cao and the others interfering. After dinner, the family lay in the rocking chairs, looking at the stars in the sky and chatting.

Cao thought of what she had discussed with the village chief's wife today, sat up, looked at Lin Ping and asked, "Ping'er, when I was chatting with Yuanyuan's mother today, I felt that you and Yuanyuan are a good match. What do you think of Yuanyuan? If she suits your taste, I will go to the village chief's house with your father to formally discuss your marriage with Yuanyuan."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Kang, who was eating grapes, was choked by the grapes and started coughing violently!
