”No, that's not the case. I just don't know if you know anyone with the surname Tian.” The eldest brother of the Zhu Clan continued.
”A family with the surname Tian?” Our family's surname is Tian, I wonder what business do you have, Uncle? ” Tian Yuqiao asked with a puzzled expression.
When the eldest brother of the Zhu Family heard that these people were surnamed Tian, his interest was piqued. He quickly gave his wife a meaningful glance and told the second brother of the Zhu Family to make some tea for them.
In this aspect, he didn't say whether or not he had flesh. This made Zhu Chi suspicious, and he didn't know what intentions the Zhu Clan's elder brother had.
However, Tian Yuqiao seemed to have noticed something. She did not hurry them and instead signaled everyone to be patient.
Sure enough, after the time it took to brew a cup of tea, a muffled voice could be heard coming from outside the door.
”I heard that someone from the village of Reliance came next door to buy meat?” ”Sister-in-law, why don't you give them all the meat we have.”
Tian Yuqiao carefully sized up the person who entered and saw that it was someone even bigger than the eldest brother of the Zhu Family … Woman? Could she even be called a woman?
But now that she had a favor to ask, she could only smile and say, ”This big sister, we are from the neighboring Reliance Village, and our surname is Tian.” I'm going to come to your place and buy some meat. ”
”Do you know the Tian Clan at the back of the village? They have a scholar in their family, and I heard that he's the fourth oldest in the family. ” Zhu Rong Rong asked.
Tian YuQiao immediately understood when she saw the bashful expression on Zhu Rong Rong's face. No wonder the old house was willing to buy such a large piece of pork leg. After so much commotion, it turned out to be this butcher's daughter who had taken a fancy to her old uncle.
This matter was much easier to handle now.
”You should be talking about my fourth uncle, right? He will be taking the Elementary Scholar examination next year, and he's the only student in the entire village with the surname Tian. ” Tian Yuqiao frowned as he pondered.
When Zhu Rong Rong Rong heard this, she was so excited that the two chests in front of her quivered uncontrollably.
”Since you are his family, then …”
Before she could finish her sentence, her elder brother spoke up first, ”We are all people who touch sabers, so we have this kind of admiration for those scholars who hold pens. Since you are the relatives of the study owner, you can take this meat back later. ”Oh, that's right. Ah, please forgive me. Later on, go and cut some pork meat for them and bring it back. Just treat it as our gift. Don't take their money.”
When Zhu Rong Rong heard this, she was so happy that the corner of her mouth cracked open. She smiled and said, ”Ai, alright brother. Don't worry. Why would I accept money from their family?”
The smile in Tian Yuqiao's eyes was about to spill out. However, in the eyes of others, it was just the behavior of a child taking advantage of an advantage.
Tian Yuqiao, on the other hand, continued to imagine. That gentle and weak scholar, once she married back such a valiant woman who also knew how to kill pigs, she would surely find it very interesting, wouldn't she?
The Zhu Family was truly worthy of being called a pig slaughtering household. Even their flesh was saved up to half the basket, and this was only left over from the past two to three days.
This time, Zhu Rong Rong Rong was going all out. He actually cut another whole piece of the pig leg meat, this one seemed to be heavier than the last. However, in her opinion, it was worth it. After all, if she wanted to marry that Scholar, she had to set up relations with her relatives in advance.
