The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 476: Official Matchmaker Proposing Marriage

Translator: Vesper

Yang Zhu and the others already knew Lei An would come to propose when Ning Meng Yao returned, they were not surprised with Lei An’s words.

When Lei An did not hear Yang Zhu and the other’s reply after a long time, he couldn’t help but ask: “Uncle, I will treat Le Le well, please?”

Madame Yang reached out her hand and poked Yang Zhu, Yang Zhu then responded: “You, young lad, you plan to marry my daughter just like this?”

Lei An was distracted, he then laughed in a silly manner: “No, I’m just informing you all in advance.”

Yang Zhu looked helplessly at him: “Want to marry my daughter, sure, but you cannot bully my daughter, you must treat her well. If you bully her, we will stand up for her, regardless of who you are.”

Lei An nodded his head: “Absolutely, I won’t bully Le Le.”

”That’s fine then, will you find someone to send the proposal to us or you have other arrangements?” Yang Zhu looked at Lei An and asked.

Lei An gave some thought: “I’ll hire someone.”

”Alright.”

Lei An chatted with Yang Zhu for a short moment before leaving, he returned right after walking a few steps: “Uncle, I want to buy some land to build a house, we can’t be staying at my boss’s home after I marry Le Le.

He wanted to give Le Le the best, he did not want others to say that they were living under someone else’s roof.

”Regarding land, you have to ask Meng Yao, only she has some undeveloped land in the village,” Yang Zhu smiled, he was really satisfied with Lei An’s words.

”Fine then, I’ll find sister-in-law.”

Lei An returned, he went to find Ning Meng Yao, “Sister-in-law, can you allocate me two acres of dry land by the side?”

”You want to build a house?”

”Yup, although you and boss said that we can live here, I think we should build our own place. I don’t wish for Le Le to be gossiped by others,” It was great staying here, but Le Le would definitely be gossiped by others.

Ning Meng Yao nodded her head: “Alright, I’ll give it to you, treat Le Le well.”

”I understand, I’ll be taking my leave.”

”What are you up to?”

”I’m heading to town to find an official matchmaker,” Lei An directly ran towards the stable without even turning his head after saying it, he then mounted on the horse and left.

Yang Le Le was blushing, not everyone would hire an official matchmaker, she felt that Lei An really valued her.

Ning Meng Yao couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Yang Le Le blushing: “Are you at ease right now? What type of house do you wish to have?”

”Yao Yao, I was thinking of not returning to the embroidery house after I get married, I’ll bring the embroidery work back to do, do you think it’s alright?” After they got married, Lei An did not have any elders, if she still headed to the embroidery house, then what would Lei An do all alone at home? No one would help him heat up the food and do the dishes.

”I also wanted to discuss with you about this, you can bring back your embroidery work. When you have any orders, I can have the people over there send it over,” If there were elders in Lei An’s home, Ning Meng Yao would definitely wish for Yang Le Le to stay for a while, but Lei An was all alone at home, it was naturally not possible.

”Yao Yao, thank you,” Yang Le Le felt warm at heart as she said gratefully.

”Why are you thanking me? We are best friends,” Ning Meng Yao did not like Yang Le Le to say such things.

Yang Le Le nodded her head, expressing she would not say such words, causing Ning Meng Yao to feel glad.

Three days later, the official matchmaker arrived at Yang Zhu’s home.

”Elder brother, your daughter really looks beautiful, Lei An had entrusted me to propose on his behalf,” The matchmaker chuckled and said.

”Great, come on in,” This person was different from the matchmaker in the village, she was an official matchmaker that ordinary people could not hire.

After the matchmaker entered, she took out a card Lei An prepared, Yang Zhu and the others also took out Yang Le Le’s card and the two exchanged. The matchmaker said: “I’ll have someone calculate the dates and select a good date to deliver the gifts.”

”Then we’ll be troubling you,” As he spoke, he passed the matchmaker a red packet, it was very light inside, it was obviously a banknote.

After the matchmaker left, Madame Yang was full of smiles: “This time, we’ll see if those noisy women would dare badmouth our Le Le,” It was an official matchmaker proposing marriage, the very first in the village.

Yang Zhu looked helplessly at his wife: “Shouldn’t you be preparing the dowry for our daughter?”
