Chapter 10 Widow Tong wants to bring good luck to the Zheng family

"Mom, you won't send me to the Zheng family, right?"

On the way, while Matchmaker Wang got off the carriage to buy some sour plum soup to quench her thirst, Gu Taohua anxiously asked Tong Huaqiong to give her a definite answer.

She was almost stunned by Tong Huaqiong's display.

"No. Stop talking nonsense and just follow my instructions when you get to Zheng's house." Tong Huaqiong answered very straightforwardly.

Scared to death, Gu Taohua patted her chest and moved closer to Tong Huaqiong.

"Mom, you won't..."

Gu Dashu was thinking, you won't give yourself to Mr. Zheng to get married, right? Before he could finish his words, matchmaker Wang got on the carriage and very attentively distributed sour plum soup to everyone.

Gu Dashu took the sour plum soup and stopped talking. He felt uneasy and couldn't figure out what Tong Huaqiong was up to.

The carriage sped along, and before Tong Huaqiong had a good look at the street scene outside, the carriage stopped in front of a large house.

"Butler He, I have brought the person here."

Matchmaker Wang jumped off the carriage first and asked for credit from Butler He who was waiting at the door.

The Gu family was no stranger to Butler He. It was Butler He who went to the Gu family with Matchmaker Wang to bring Maner last time.

It was also this steward He who invited Gu Dashu to dinner at the county restaurant and promised to make him the manager of Zheng's shop.

"Get out of the car." Matchmaker Wang lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Gu Dashu jumped down first, and Tong Huaqiong followed him down the carriage holding Gu Dashu's hand.

Gu Taohua was too fat and too slow, so she was the last one to come down.

Butler He glanced at the Gu family and saw a charming and pretty widow before his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but warm.

It's no wonder that Widow Tong looked completely different in this outfit than the last time I saw her in Qinghe Bay.

There is an indescribable charm in that waist under the little pink dress.

After the eldest master's matter is settled, Butler He plans to visit Widow Tong in Qinghe Bay frequently.

"Butler He..."

When Butler He heard Matchmaker Wang calling him, he calmed himself down and found that Man'er was not there. He turned away from the Pretty Widow and raised his chin towards Matchmaker Wang.

"Butler He, the Gu family has replaced a girl who is older. According to what we agreed before, you didn't tell the host family clearly which girl it is, right?" Matchmaker Wang asked quietly.

Butler He turned his head and glanced at Gu Taohua.

He had taken a liking to this girl when he had visited the Gu family before. She was plump and had a face that would bring good luck to her husband, which was just right for the sickly eldest son.

But Widow Tong couldn't bear to leave her fat daughter behind, so she pushed her granddaughter out.

The pale-faced yellow-haired girl was not liked by the housekeeper He at all, and he was afraid that the master would not like her either. The matchmaker Wang was reluctant to part with the money she had received, so she used her rhetoric skills to persuade the housekeeper He to finalize Man'er, and she also fooled the housekeeper He so much that he did not need to tell the master which girl it was.

Therefore, Mr. Zheng and his wife only knew that it was the daughter of the Gu family, but they had no idea which girl it was.

Anyway, at this point in time, it would be great if there is someone willing to marry my eldest son. Why would I bother to be picky?

"Did Widow Tong agree?" Butler He lowered his voice.

Matchmaker Wang was delighted: "I have brought the person here, how can you not agree?"

It is true.

Butler He nodded and smiled at Gu Taohua in a fawning manner.

From now on, this fat girl will be the young lady, and he has to make a good impression on her.

"Come in with me."

Butler He made a gesture to Gu Taohua to invite her in, and Gu Taohua walked in holding Tong Huaqiong's hand.

Butler He stared at Gu Taohua's fat butt with a look of relief. The young master would not live for many days, and this girl looked fertile. Maybe she could give birth to a child for the young master.

In that case, Butler He would also be a great contributor to the Zheng family, after all, he was the one who chose the person.

Tong Huaqiong followed Butler He across the yard and headed towards the upper house in a fierce and powerful manner.

Gu Taohua on the side was a little nervous, while Gu Dashu and his family of three followed closely behind, looking around non-stop.

"Master, Madam, the people have arrived."

As soon as Butler He raised his voice, two pretty maids drew open the curtain of the upper room.

Tong Huaqiong rushed into the village with a few bamboo sticks like a bandit.

Wow, it is a wealthy feudal family after all. The decorations are even more gorgeous and exciting than those in ancient costume movies and TV dramas.

Mr. Zheng was sitting on the chair at the top, and the beautiful middle-aged woman with red eyes next to him must be Mrs. Zheng.

Sitting below the Zheng couple was a sickly young man, surrounded by a circle of maids serving him. Tong Huaqiong took one look at the young man's pale face and predicted that he had tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is not a serious disease in modern times and can be cured with a few bottles of IV drip. But in ancient times it was a life-threatening disease!

No wonder Matchmaker Wang said that Master Zheng would not live for many days.

While Tong Huaqiong was looking at the Zheng family, Mr. Zheng and his wife were also looking at Tong Huaqiong and his group.

The focus is on the young Gu Taohua.

Mr. Zheng thought that it was no wonder that Matchmaker Wang and Steward He were so vague when they mentioned the girl. She was too fat, and the space in the room became cramped once half of her body was in.

If the eldest son was fine, he wouldn't even be shortlisted to be a maid in the Zheng family.

But it doesn’t matter if he is fat. My son has already stepped into the gates of hell, so there is nothing to complain about.

Mr. Zheng prepared himself mentally. Look at that fat girl. She has a pretty face and looks like she will bring good fortune to her family.

"Greetings, Master and Madam." Tong Huaqiong spoke first.

This old widow from the farming family is quite pretty. Madam Zheng looks very eye-catching in this dress. As a mother, she is so romantic, and I am afraid that her daughter will follow suit.

I felt a little unhappy.

After getting married, she will set some rules for this fat country girl.

Mr. Zheng didn't pay attention to all this. He nodded to Tong Huaqiong, offered her a seat, and served her tea.

Good tea.

As expected, they are from the aristocratic class.

Tong Huaqiong took a sip of the fragrant tea and smacked her lips.

"…The people have arrived, and now the two families have become one family and one good word."

"Sister Tong, you have seen with your own eyes that the Zheng family is relieved. When you marry a man, you need to have clothes and food, and the most important thing is whether the husband's family can have enough food. The Zheng family can not only have enough food, but also have delicious fish and meat every meal. From now on, sister Tong, you will fall into the nest of happiness with them, and you will no longer have to tighten your belt and not have meat to eat."

Matchmaker Wang smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and she kept flattering Mr. Zheng and his wife.

The person was brought in safely and without any mistakes, so the thank-you gift was immediately received.

"Yes, I felt it was good the moment I entered the yard. Sister Wang, you really didn't lie to me. I've dreamed of living in the Zheng family." Tong Huaqiong said happily after taking a sip of tea.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't suppress the contempt on her face.

You're dreaming. When your daughter gets married, you're dreaming of enjoying the good life together with her.

A rural widow is worthy of this?

You don't know that your daughter was sold to the Zheng family, and you really think you are a relative of the Zheng family.

I don’t know what that fat girl ate to get so fat. I can let her eat as much as she wants when she comes home today, but not tomorrow. The food in the Zheng family is not so easy to eat.

"So, this is my husband?"

Tong Huaqiong turned her head to look at Mr. Zheng, the pretty boy was really good-looking!

Tong Huaqiong's call of "husband" shocked everyone.

Even Mr. Zheng, who had seen a lot of storms, was stunned.

Gu Dashu thought to himself, "Mom, you really want to remarry?" Even though he always complained in his heart that his father was incompetent and had no money when his father was alive, he didn't want to acknowledge a pretty boy as his stepfather. Even if he was given meat to eat every day, he couldn't bring himself to call him stepfather, as the boy was younger than him.

"My husband's complexion is too pale. But I don't mind. Sister Wang has explained it to me clearly. Given my husband's appearance and the financial situation of the Zheng family, if he is in good health, it would not be my turn." Tong Huaqiong said.

"What? Sister Tong, don't be ridiculous. This is your son-in-law. Where does your husband come from?"

Matchmaker Wang raised her voice as Mr. Zheng stared in amazement.

Widow Tong doesn't joke like that.

"Son-in-law? What do you mean by that, Sister Wang? You came to my house to propose marriage, didn't you? I thought that no one wanted me, a widow at my age with many children and grandchildren. It was you who said that Mr. Zheng needed a wedding to bring good luck but couldn't find a suitable girl. It didn't matter what the Gu family was like, as long as she was a woman who could bring good luck, that's why I followed you. How come my husband became a son-in-law after arriving at the Zheng family?"

Matchmaker Wang was shocked by Tong Huaqiong's logic!

When she went to Qinghewan, the villagers reminded her explicitly and implicitly that Widow Tong was not easy to mess with, and that she had to make trouble no matter whether she was right or wrong. She had learned her lesson and regretted it deeply.

But she didn't expect that Widow Tong was not only unreasonable, but also crazy!

"No, Sister Tong, didn't we agree on that..."

"Yes, it was agreed that I would come to bring good luck. Father-in-law, mother-in-law, what's going on? I have brought my daughter, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson to meet the family. I was thinking of changing the surnames of my children as soon as they got married, so that they can inherit the eldest son's incense. How can you change it so suddenly?"

Tong Huaqiong called them "Dad and Mom" ​​all she opened her mouth, but she silently thought that it was the old widow Tong Da Jiao who was calling them and it had nothing to do with her.

Mr. Zheng and his wife were silenced by Tong Huaqiong's smooth voice calling "Daddy and Mommy".
