Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

After dinner, Shanzi took Chen Daya and Wu Xiaoqing to Luyuan. Chu Hanyan had a lunch break, while Chen Afu sat under the window making wedding dresses, and Xia Yue also helped make socks.

Chen Afu made a total of four sets of wedding clothes. Most of the wedding dress for the ceremony has been finished, only some embroidery is left. The coat, red hijab, and embroidered shoes are not new, they are the fashionable ones of this era. The red satin and gold embroidered jacket, the red satin and flowered horse-face skirt, and only the twelve pairs of large mandarin duck buckles are more novel and exaggerated.

Chen Afu did the tailoring and sewing himself, but Wang had full help with the embroidery, which has not been finished yet. One is that Chen Afu's embroidery skills are really unflattering, the other is Wang's fanatical love for embroidery, and the third is Wang's hope that her daughter will be the most beautiful bride.

The red bellyband has been made, and Mrs. Wang is too embarrassed to interfere with it. The tailoring, sewing and embroidery were all done by Chen Afu himself. She only embroidered a pair of parallel lotus flowers on it, instead of the more realistic pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water. It was really difficult to embroider the mandarin ducks in floral clothes. Moreover, compared with the flowers embroidered by Wang, she herself blushed. However, she still pinched a circle of lace around her bellyband for decoration instead of the pressed hems of this era.

The trousers and trousers were cut according to the pajamas and pajamas she wore in her previous life. They were made of bright red soft satin and were cut to fit her body. She only had to embroider a few small flowers on the collar and cuffs.

The other three sets of clothes for the bride are also being made. She has made some improvements in the styles, which are relatively new and beautiful. She cut these clothes and paid an embroiderer to sew and embroider them in Luyuan.

She was embroidering the little flowers on the collar of her pajamas.

After about a while, Luyuan calmed down, and all the guests except Mrs. Chen and Dafang left.

Dabao's loud and excited voice came, "Mother, hurry up, my son can't carry it anymore, grandpa gave us so much meat."

Chen Afu looked out the window and saw Dabao rushing into the yard, carrying a piece of pork and several ribs in his hand. He was afraid that the meat would be dragged on the ground and get dirty, so he raised his little arms high. Old man Zeng reached out to take it, but he dodged it and went straight to the upper room.

Chen Afu quickly put down his clothes, walked out of the room, and took the meat from his hand.

Dabao said excitedly, "Grandpa sold a big fat pig for a total of two to five coins, and he also kept a big fat pig for his own consumption..."

Just as he was talking, Chu Lingzhi also ran into the yard. He also carried a piece of pork in his hand and said, "Uncle Chen gave this meat to our family. My grandfather said that we were all eating in Fuyuan, so he asked me to bring it to Sister Chen."

Chen Afu took it over with a smile and said that he went into the kitchen and salted the meat and let it cool under the eaves so that it would last longer.

Dabao quickly grabbed Chen Afu and said, "Mom, my sister hasn't seen the pigs we raise yet. Let her see it before rubbing salt on it." He added, "My great-grandma asked my mother to go to Luyuan. She said she had something to think about. Discuss with mother."

Chen Afu was a little confused. She didn't have much interaction with Dafang now, so she didn't know what they wanted from her. She put the meat in a basin and went to Luyuan.

When they came to the upper room in Luyuan, Mrs. Chen and Dafang's family were all sitting inside. Chen Afu greeted them with a smile. Chen Aju also grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into Chen Afu's hand and said with a smile, "Sister Afu eats peanuts. These are small red peanuts grown at my home. They are fragrant."

Chen Afu was a little confused. Why did Chen Aju suddenly become so friendly and approachable?

After a few people talked for a while, the old lady sent Hu, Chen Aju, Chen Agui and others home. Mrs. Hu was still unwilling, but Chen Ye glared at her, so she had to get up and leave.

Only Chen Ming, Wang, Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye were left in the room.

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "My Aju will be fifteen years old early next year. We haven't found a suitable family yet. My eldest son and I are worried."

Chen Ming consoled her, "The life of the eldest brother's family is getting better now, and Aju doesn't have to worry about getting married."

Chen Ye said helplessly, "But that damn girl is only thinking about Hu Wei..." Then he looked at Chen Afu and said, "We thought that the second brother is a relative and it's hard to tell, so we wanted to ask Manager Luo to help. Together. Hu Laowu desperately wants to curry favor with Guanshi Luo, and once Guanshi Luo says it, he will definitely agree."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Afu eagerly.

Chen Afu was extremely embarrassed. The last time she agreed to let Manager Luo help Chen Aman negotiate a deal, it was because both parties had a good impression. But this time Hu Laowu had made it clear that he did not want Chen Aju to be his daughter-in-law, so how could he let Manager Luo put pressure on her again.

If it were herself, she wouldn't like Chen Aju to be her daughter-in-law. There is a saying in the past life that if a woman marries the wrong husband, her life will be ruined; if a man marries the wrong wife, three generations will be ruined.

Chen Aju was lazy, unruly, and not yet smart. Although she has corrected some of her flaws now, the roots are still there.

Hu Laowu had seen Chen Aju at her worst, and he would definitely not want his only son to marry such a girl. Although Chen Ye's family was getting better and better, Hu Laowu also worked for the county magistrate through Manager Luo, and got his son to work as a minor official in the county government. He definitely wants to find a girl with a good family background and good temperament for his son, and strive to take the next step.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "I heard that Hu Laowu rejected Aju. If she marries into the Hu family forcefully, Aju will still suffer."

Mrs. Chen immediately said, "Did you see that Ah Fu also said the same thing? Ah Gui and I have told you that the Hu family is not a good family. The whole family is better than a mouse. Only one stupid person is born, so he will marry I love you. A silly girl like Ah Ju will be bullied to death if she really gets married. Besides, that boy Hu Wei can’t do anything except look more glamorous. After studying for so many years, he’s not even a child. If you don’t pass the exam, what’s the point?”

Chen Ye took two puffs of cigarette and said angrily, "That damn girl wants to live and die, and her mother is letting her go... I just thought that our family is different now, with Ah Fu backing us, and Hu Laowu and his son. What do you dare to do to Aju?"

Old Mrs. Chen said again, "If you want to punish people, there are many ways to punish them until they can't speak. Then Hu Laowu specializes in doing harm, and there are more ways to punish people. Aju is stupid and has been betrayed. He also has to count money for others, and Ah Fu can’t help even if he wants to.”

Chen Afu was so funny that the old lady said everything she wanted to say. He nodded and said, "Nai is right, the Hu family is not a good place for Ah Ju. The strong-willed melon is not sweet, their life is difficult, and the uncle is also miserable."

When Chen Ye heard what Chen Afu said, he knew that she would not help, so he had to give up the idea. Without Chen Afu's support, his family would be nothing. He said, "Okay, I'll let them stop that thought phase when I get home."

Chen Afu talked to them for a while, then got up and returned to Fuyuan.

As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Chu Hanyan and Dabao squatting and looking at the pork in the basin.

When Chu Hanyan saw Chen Afu coming back, she raised her head and smiled at her, "Auntie, I just know why the meat at noon is so fragrant. It turns out to be the pigs fed by my brother."
