331 Noble and Virtuous Scholars
Jiang Yue picked up a small piece of rib with her wooden spoon and put it into her mouth.
Xue Yan was also eating quietly, not far from her.
Xue Sifu and Xue Wufu were squatting together, eating and laughing.
While Jiang Yue was eating, Liu Guixia put two pieces of fatty meat into Xue Sanfu’s bowl and said, “Sanfu, since you’re back, let’s find a time to go to Xicui’s house and set a date for your wedding. Let’s set it for the end of September or October. By then, the brick house will probably be finished, and there will definitely be enough rooms.”
Lin Xicui is the girl engaged to Xue Sanfu. She was from Lin village.
“Okay.” Xue Sanfu replied, his tone rather indifferent.
He had never seen Lin Xicui before. The marriage had been decided by the parents and matchmakers of both parties a long time ago. Before this, he did not marry Lin Xicui because it would cost money to marry a wife, and Xue Yan needed money to study. The family did not have enough money, to begin with, so he delayed the wedding. He planned to wait until the family was more well-off before talking about this. Now that Xue Yan stopped studying, he could get married sooner, so he naturally had no objections.
Xue Yan’s heart was filled with mixed feelings when Sanfu agreed.
In his previous life, Sanfu’s life basically revolved around Xue Yan. In the end, in order to save him, Sanfu was shot by a poisonous arrow that was supposed to hit him. It was extremely poisonous, and no medicine could cure it. Sanfu died after a few days.
Lin Xicui, his third sister-in-law, was not actually his third sister-in-law. In his previous life, Sanfu did not end up marrying Lin Xicui.
It wasn’t Sanfu’s problem, but Lin Xicui’s. She canceled the engagement because he wasn’t rich enough.
He remembered that the engagement was canceled after Sanfu returned from work in town, which was going to be tomorrow.
Lin Xicui said that she would rather go to town and be a concubine of a rich family than marry Sanfu.
In his previous life, his family was dirt poor. They lived in a small house and everyone had to squeeze in with others to fill in each room. In this life, even though his family was doing the best in the surrounding villages, compared to the rich families in town, there was still a big gap. He felt that Lin Xicui and her parents would come tomorrow to cancel the engagement with Sanfu either way.
It’ll be a good thing if the engagement gets called off. In his past life, Sanfu met Xue Yan’s friend’s sister at his friend’s house when he went to pick him up and it was love at first sight. They got married and were extremely in love with each other…
He had met this classmate and friend in the smartest class, and he was also this year’s new top scorer.
The parents of this new top scholar naturally did not agree to marry their daughter to Sanfu. They wanted to marry their daughter to someone with a higher position. They wanted to help this new top scholar have a better career in the government.
However, scholars were all noble and virtuous. They also had the character that scholars should have. He looked down on this kind of person the most. His classmate and his other classmates and friends were the same. They all had the appearance of scholars. It was all thanks to his classmate and his friend’s full support that Sanfu and his friend’s sister’s marriage was successfully facilitated.
Would Sanfu ever meet her again in this life? Or did he have to think of a way to let Sanfu and her meet each other again like in the previous life?
Just as Xue Yan was thinking about this, he was cut off by Xue Wufu mumbling to himself about something.
