Chapter 1434 - 1437: Today in the town, I saw someone_1

"Mom, you are aware that the Zhang Family’s decision-maker is Mr. Zhang, and he’s stingy. When you send them gifts, you should be prepared for that."

"How can he not be more generous when he has only one daughter? Doesn’t he realize he should do something for his daughter’s dignity?" Ms. Wang said. "They own several shops, and they’re not that poor. Is it really necessary?"

"There’s nothing that can be done if someone is stingy to the bone. Fortunately, that’s his only flaw. Just bear with it, Mom. After all, you won’t have to live with the Zhang family."

Yang Chuxia added another word of advice. The marriage was about to take place, so what was the use of talking about this? Besides, getting angry at them wouldn’t solve anything.

"Oh right, I should advise you not to talk about this in front of Qingrui. It might make him uncomfortable."

"I know, do you think I’m oblivious?"

After mumbling a few more words, Ms. Wang finally left.

But as soon as she left, Yang Qingtong arrived.

"What’s happened? Do you have some trouble?" Seeing his expression was not too good, Yang Chuxia asked.

"Sis, today I saw someone in town." Yang Qingtong hesitated for a long time but in the end, he spoke up.

"Who did you see?"

"Shen Qiu!"

"Her?" Yang Chuxia didn’t pay much attention and said, "She lives in town now. Isn’t it normal to see her?"

On hearing this, Yang Qingtong became anxious, "Sis, but the thing is, I saw her walking together with the son from the first branch of the Zhang Family. His hand was even on her waist."

"What?" Yang Chuxia was visibly surprised. She wasn’t aware of such matters. "What was Shen Qiu’s reaction?"

"She seemed not to mind and was smiling."

That was precisely what Yang Qingtong couldn’t understand. Obviously, the two knew each other, but the problem was, she had said she wanted to marry Uncle Dayong, so why was she so intimate with the son of the Zhang Family?

"Are you sure you didn’t mistake someone else?"

"How could I be mistaken? I even made a detour with the horse carriage to follow them for a while." Yang Qingtong said, "Sis, we have to tell Uncle Dayong, so he isn’t deceived by her."

"If this is true, we should be grateful that Uncle Dayong hasn’t formally committed to her." Last time, from what Yang Dayong said, he planned to make it official in October to marry before the New Year, since Shen Qiu was also getting on in years and there was no need to delay.

"Speaking of Uncle Dayong, why on earth would he be interested in such a person? This isn’t the way to repay a kindness." Yang Qingtong had run out of words when it came to Yang Dayong’s marriage prospects.

"Alright, don’t spread this around just yet. I’ll have someone check it out in town, and once we’re clear on the facts, we’ll tell Uncle Dayong."

After a pause, she added, "We’ll have to get our parents to assist with Uncle Dayong’s marital matters. We can’t just count on him, his judgment is lacking."

As for Shen Qiu, Yang Chuxia had nothing more to say. How could she change her mind so quickly? When she had just returned to Yangshu Village, Shen Qiu seemed quite interested in marrying Uncle Dayong. Now, in the blink of an eye, she seemed interested in someone else.

"Then sis, you have to act quickly."

"I understand."

The following day, Yang Chuxia sent someone to investigate in town, but the news hadn’t come back yet.

"Madam, the Madam of County Magistrate is here."

"Her?" Yang Chuxia instantly recalled the person she had encountered at the Mu Family’s home. She remembered that woman seemed to dislike her quite a bit. Why would she come here, and why send gifts during the festival? "Well then, let’s go and welcome her."

Just as she was about to step forward, she saw Yangyang and another child rolling on the ground, and a lady standing beside them, her face ashen.
