67: Chapter 66: Betrothal 2 67: Chapter 66: Betrothal 2 She thought she should hurry up and take care of these miscellaneous matters because the goods at Li Qingshui’s place must be almost sold out.
She had promised to supply her with goods two to three tis a week.
Before long, lively voices ca from outside, and Xu Niannian hurried out to see.
It turned out Jin Yu and Wu Lan had arrived, and besides them, there was also a tall middle-aged man, as well as Ding Guihua’s cousin Du Chunming.
Jin Yu’s appearance shared a resemblance with the man by about sixty percent, and combined with the man’s similar aura, it was hard for Xu Niannian not to know who he was.
Today, Jin Yu was dressed more formally, in a white linen shirt and a pair of black trousers.
His physique was good, a simple shirt, but he sohow managed to wear it like it was a high-end item costing tens of thousands in the future.
The reason it was so lively outside was that the Jin family had co by car.
In those days, those who could drive were very rich and powerful people.
Many people in the village had never seen a car, and upon seeing Jin Yu drive into the village, those who saw it followed out of curiosity.
Ding Guihua also ran over to watch the excitent.
Seeing the car parked in front of the Xu Family’s gate, the villagers were guessing when the Xu family had established relations with such a wealthy family.
What made people more envious was that everyone had brought a big pile of things in their hands.
Malt Extract, high-gluten flour, brown sugar, so fine tobacco and liquor, as well as half a pig.
Thanks to Ding Guihua’s explanation, the villagers realized that this was an engagent gift for the Xu family.
A gift of this magnitude for an engagent was truly unprecedented in the village.
Ordinary families would bring about ten eggs, about twenty pounds of corn, and half a pound or a pound or two of pork for an engagent.
This was half a pig, and looking at it, it seed to be a big pig that had been raised for over a year, perhaps weighing over two hundred pounds.
Many in the village were envious, especially Auntie Wang, who lived closest to Xu Niannian’s ho.
So much pork, how long would that take to eat?
Just thinking about having at for every al made Auntie Wang very envious.
And those unmarried girls, seeing Jin Yu’s handso features, blushed one after another.
Being watched by so many people, Jin Yu didn’t seem nervous and, holding his things, went straight into the Xu’s house.
All the way, Jin Yu was driving, and he didn’t even ask Du Chunming, the matchmaker, and directly found the Xu family’s house.
This made Wu Lan think that her son ant Xu Niannian when he said he wanted to marry that girl.
She was even more satisfied with the decision she had made.
As Jin Yu entered, he happened to see Xu Niannian, his eyelids twitched, and he sized her up from head to toe.
Xu Niannian was still wearing the rose-colored dress from yesterday, and her top was a white shirt brought by her Young Aunt.
Her hair being too long, Xu Niannian simply tossed it to the side and braided it into a fluffy twist braid.
With her snow-white skin and pretty looks, dressed this way, she was as beautiful as a fairy-like girl with a pure and lovely aura.
Yet when Jin Yu glimpsed her watery apricot eyes, he felt a seductive air about her.
He couldn’t help but click his tongue, running it around the inside of his teeth, “Excuse .”
Xu Niannian was sowhat of a face-connoisseur, seeing Jin Yu dressed up so smartly, she couldn’t help but stare a little too long.
It was his annoying voice that snapped her back to reality, hastily she moved aside to let Jin Yu put the things in his hands onto the table.
Normally, it was the matchmaker’s job to open the discussions during an engagent.
The main room of the Xu family was a bit small, with two tables in the middle, one of which had been brought over by her second uncle from their house.
