"Aunt Qin, didn't you go out to set up the stall today?" Zheng Juzi shouted curiously. There were only four small square tables in the store. If all the tables were in the store, then she definitely didn't go out to set up the stall.

"Sister Qin is not here." Wang Wei came out, accompanied by a young girl who looked a little reserved.

"Oh." Zheng Juzi asked: "What about Brother Luo and Brother Song?"

"I know." Without waiting for Wang Wei to speak, Gu Xiaoer appeared out of nowhere and squeezed in front of Zheng Juzi, "I know."

Zheng Juzi...I don't really want to know that much. What does that "ask me quickly" expression of yours mean?

It didn't take Zheng Juzi long to understand. Someone introduced a girl to Song Xing yesterday, and it seemed like the deal was done.

"So fast?" Zheng Juzi didn't know whether to say it was efficient or sloppy.

Gu Xiaoer was a little depressed about what he had said to Zheng Juzi in the morning. Now he was gossiping and said, "Brother Song fell in love with her at first sight yesterday. Today, both sides are discussing marriage."

"Marriage? When are you getting married?" Zheng Hanqiu felt like he was back to the days of reading flash marriage stories, but Song Xing wasn't a domineering CEO, so wasn't he acting too quickly? "It's almost the New Year, you're not going to get married before the New Year, are you?"

Gu Xiaoer also felt that it was too fast and nodded repeatedly, "Since both sides are satisfied, they want to settle the matter as soon as possible. Song Ge is not young anymore, and the girl's family also has reasons, so they want to get married as soon as possible."

In the eyes of the two sisters, a man in his twenties is not considered old. But in the countryside, even with the constraints of national policies, a man who has not found a partner to marry at the age of 20 is considered old.

Song Xing was originally an orphan. The Song family’s relatives basically didn’t care about him. He grew up relying on the care of his cousin Luo Cheng’s family.

His relationship with Luo Cheng is like that of brothers.

From joining the army to retiring, Luo Cheng's parents died one after another. The two are now real brothers in distress. He has no relatives willing to get involved, so they just pull Luo Cheng there to be a family member.

It's not right for two bachelors to talk about marriage with each other. Now Liu Ying's mother and Grandma Qiu next door are helping to talk about it. Gu Xiaoer doesn't know the specific gossip.

"They're in such a hurry over there, there must be something wrong with the woman, right?" Zheng Juzi expressed her doubt. After all, they just met at the stall yesterday, and they're planning to get married today. It was simply too much of a joke.

Gu Xiaoer had also gossiped about this before, "I don't know if it's a problem."

Zheng Juzi: "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have something to fart, fart now. Is it moral to keep people in suspense like this?"

What does this have to do with morality? He really doesn't know.

Gu Xiaoer told what he knew, "The girl's mother died when she was born. When she was 5, her father found her a stepmother, but within two years her stepmother died too. When she was less than 10, her father died again, so she was brought up with her grandmother. After only three or four years, her grandmother passed away. She had a bad reputation in the town and no one liked her.

She has been living with her grandfather, and now he is dying, so he wants to entrust her to a good family before he dies."

Zheng Juzi...

Zheng Hanqiu...

"How old is she?" Zheng Juzi asked, "She can't be underage, right?"

After the experience of buying a house, Gu Xiaoer's gossip ability is much stronger than before. He told everything he found out, "I don't know the details, but her age is 22 in the household registration book. It is said that a boyfriend changed his age to a higher level when he was about to register. As a result, he went back to drink with others and got drunk and got beaten up by someone. The boyfriend originally wanted to marry a city girl, but after she became disabled, he thought she was unlucky and insisted on breaking off the engagement with her."

"Are there any other relatives in their family?" Zheng Juzi continued to ask.

Although it is other people's business, after being with Song Xing for so long, she also hopes that he can marry a reliable partner. After all, this is too fast.

"Yes." Gu Xiaoer continued, "She has many uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law, but no one wants to take care of her affairs. The old man meant that his family doesn't want a gift but also no dowry. He just wants the two of them to get married as soon as possible."

When encountering such things, Gu Xiaoer felt sad.

Zheng Juzi asked Wang Wei to go to her house to get some braised food while she went to the yard to gossip.

It is difficult to discuss things when doing business outside because there is no place to move. Liu Ying's mother has now rented two rooms from Zheng Hanqiu and brought them in to discuss the matter.

"How did the talk go?" Zheng Juzi motioned for Liu Ying's mother to come out and ask.

"Everything else has been discussed, except where the couple will live. They said we can rent, buy, or hire someone to build a house for the bride to get married in." Liu Ying's mother said truthfully.

This request is not excessive. Now Song Xing, Luo Cheng and Gu Xiaoer are squeezed into one room, so it will be difficult for them to find wives.

"What does Brother Song think?" Zheng Juzi asked.

Liu Ying's mother looked at Zheng Hanqiu, who tilted his head slightly with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Song Xing is wondering if we can rent him one or two of the vacant rooms in this yard as an emergency measure, and then look for another house after the New Year." Liu Ying's mother knew that the house they were living in now belonged to Zheng Hanqiu, so she asked for negotiation.

It’s okay at other times, but it’s hard to rent a house at this time.

Zheng Hanqiu asked back, "Can't we get married later? After all, we haven't known each other for long. Can't we get to know each other better before deciding?"

Liu Ying's mother explained, "Song Xing can wait, but the girl's grandfather probably can't get through the winter. He doesn't want anything but wants to see his granddaughter get married. Song Xing also likes him, so if it can be done, we want to do it for him."

This house was originally bought to store the pile of things at home. Now that everything has been moved out, the house is empty anyway. Zheng Hanqiu has no objection. The only thing he is worried about is that the wedding is too soon. "Even if we get married now, can we still reserve a table for the banquet?"

Liu Ying's mother gave her a strange look. Thinking about it, this girl was very particular about her life, so it was normal for her to think so. It was a great thing that she agreed to rent two rooms. She explained, "There are no relatives on either side. It's enough for the two families to sit down and have a meal. Why do we need to prepare a banquet?"

Zheng Hanqiu...could he be so careless?

"But Song Xing also asked me to tell you that the girl... doesn't have a very good reputation. If you mind, she can just stay at the snack bar first, and then buy a new house and move there after the New Year." Liu Ying's mother also spent some time with the two sisters.

I used to feel uncomfortable when the two sisters spoke so bluntly, but now I think it’s better to say things up front.

"I don't mind." Zheng Hanqiu had no objection to such things and said, "If he wants to rent it, he can live here. If he wants to buy it, I can sell it to him."
