Chapter 230: Three Mountains Become a Plain
Erlang felt someone staring at him from the side. He turned around and saw his parents looking at him with sad faces. His immediate reaction was a little shy.
"Look at this kid, he's still shy. Your eldest brother has a marriage, and now your eldest sister and Erniu's marriages are also settled. You joined the motorcade and haven't been seen for ten days or half a month. When can you talk about marriage?"
After hearing what Liu said, Ye Xiaolian looked at Sun Yiming and Sun Yitong beside her, and the anxiety in her heart was suddenly relieved a lot. After all, her own children were still seeing each other, but Erlang, this bad boy, didn't even have anyone to arrange a marriage for him, let alone meet a girl.
Just when Liu and Ye Xiaolian were worried and relieved respectively, Erlang, who had always been carefree, blushed and said something that changed the mood of the two sisters-in-law 180 degrees.
"Mom, don't worry about it. The manager of the freight company wants to marry his daughter to me. The shoes I'm wearing were made for me by that girl."
Erlang's voice was not loud, but everyone in the room heard it clearly. In an instant, the room became quiet and everyone's eyes were fixed on Erlang.
Liu, who had a sad face just now, now had a look of disbelief on her face, and asked Erlang in surprise and joy.
"Erlang, what did you just say? Why didn't you tell your parents about such a big thing earlier?"
Since joining the team, Erlang immediately found his comfort zone and soon became like a duck in water in the team.
Although the work in the team is not as easy as imagined, it is still an easy job compared to carrying bags in a processing workshop.
Jiang, the manager of the Zhong family's freight fleet, saw that Erlang was smart, willing to learn and work, and had a very good relationship with the guys in the fleet. Erlang was soon promoted to team leader of the fleet, and then team leader. Now he has become the deputy manager of one of the Zhong family's fleets.
Erlang was valued and promoted by General Steward Jiang, so he took the things he brought back from Yizhou Prefecture and went to the Jiang family to thank General Steward Jiang. However, he was noticed by General Steward Jiang's daughter, Jiang Li'niang. General Steward Jiang learned about his daughter's thoughts from his wife, so he tested Erlang in private and was very satisfied with him.
Erlang also thought Jiang Li'niang was very good, not only beautiful but also clever and skillful. Last month she even gave him a pair of shoes she had made herself.
After listening to Erlang's description of the general situation, Liu and Ye Xiaowu swept away their previous gloom and were filled with smug smiles.
"Chief Steward Jiang is an upright and honest person. I have also met his daughter Jiang Li Niang twice. She is very cute and well-behaved. If Chief Steward Jiang intends to marry Jiang Li Niang to Er Lang, then this would be a very good marriage."
Luo, who was sitting not far away, heard Erlang say this and thought of the daughter of the housekeeper Jiang. She looked at Erlang with a blushing face and really felt that Erlang and Jiang Li'niang looked like a couple.
Hearing what Luo said, Liu's face was full of smiles. She quickly moved her butt and sat down in front of Luo. She lowered her voice and asked Luo about the situation of the Jiang family and Jiang Li'niang.
When Mrs. Guo, the old lady of the Ye family, who was sitting with Ye Changyan's grandmother, heard that Erlang also had a girlfriend, she felt that the huge stone pressing on her chest was suddenly moved away.
This is really great. For the marriage of these three grandchildren, I have begged everyone and looked for matchmakers in the surrounding area, but failed to succeed.
Now, Dalang entered the processing workshop and became a small manager after about half a year. Then someone took the initiative to propose to him. Although the girl's family background was ordinary, she was pretty and behaved gracefully.
Erniu is now working with Xu in the kimchi processing workshop, and is doing quite well. Unexpectedly, she falls in love with the eldest son of Li Baolin's family. The old lady knows the situation of Li Baolin's family. Their financial situation is quite good among the surrounding villages. Li Rongxu is also quick-witted. In less than half a year, he has become the deputy general manager of the workshop. His ability is quite outstanding.
The one who gave the old lady the most headache was Erlang. Erlang's temperament was like his father. He had been stubborn since childhood, and the older he got, the more reckless he became. Last year, because he borrowed high-interest loans and injured someone, he was detained in the county government for several days.
When the old lady mentioned Erlang's marriage to the matchmakers, they all shook their heads. But they never expected that Sanlang would suggest Erlang to join the caravan. Not long after, the boy became a manager and was even noticed by the manager of the caravan, who was going to marry his daughter to him.
This is really great. The three big mountains at home suddenly became flat, and the old lady's mood suddenly became better.
Thinking about these changes, it seems that they are all thanks to Sanlang. If Sanlang had not found a way to get the second brother and Erlang out of the yamen, if Sanlang had not arranged jobs for this big family, if Sanlang had not helped, who knows what this big family would be like now.
Although the family has lost its land now, the family is no longer like before, relying on the little inheritance left by the old man and doing nothing all day long. Now, the whole family can earn dozens of taels a month through their own labor.
All the money earned by the first wife was kept by Xu, and she was used to prepare the dowry for the eldest girl and the betrothal gifts for the eldest son. Xu was well aware of the situation.
Although the second wife currently earns less than the first wife, all the money she earns is kept by the old lady. Now the whole family eats in the canteen of the processing workshop and wears the processing workshop uniforms when working, so most of the family expenses are saved.
The old lady thought about it in her mind and thought that since Erlang's family could become the manager of the Zhong family's motorcade, they must be wealthy. She had to hold on to the money she had and prepare a generous betrothal gift for Erlang.
It won’t be too late to prepare Silang’s betrothal gifts after Erlang’s marriage is settled.
Ye Xiaolian, who was standing by, seemed to realize that all the problems she had encountered in her mother's family were solved at once, and her original sense of superiority in front of her family seemed to disappear in an instant.
Ye Xiaolian looked at her two children and suddenly realized that her two children had become the real problem.
Think about the group of nephews and nieces from my mother's side. The two nephews from the third room are all good at studying. Sanlang even passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. Now he has a learned teacher and his future is bright. The quiet Erniu has actually climbed up to a high branch like the Zhong family in the provincial capital.
Dalang, that fool, has now become a small manager in the processing workshop. Ye Xiaolian also knows the girl he is dating. She is really good-looking.
This big-footed girl, Da Niu, actually fell in love with the eldest son of Li Baolin's family. The Li family is well-off and close to the surrounding villages. The Da Niu, whom he had originally looked down upon, actually had such a marriage fate.
What Ye Xiaolian found most difficult to accept was that Erlang, that rascal, actually said that he was dating the daughter of the manager of the Zhong family's fleet. She didn't know what kind of luck the Erlang couple had.
This series of changes in her mother's family seemed to have a lot to do with Sanlang. Ye Xiaolian glanced at Ye Changyan secretly, and after a moment's thought, she turned her gaze to the old lady.
