Chapter 811 A wealthy family came to propose marriage
The old man said, "You're right. A man who is too clean is like a young girl."
No matter what, they were happier than anything else to know that Zhou Dacang had retreated safely from the battlefield.
Zhou Gu said longingly, "I didn't expect that my uncle really became a general, commanding an army of 200,000. But didn't he say that there were only 100,000 troops when he marched south? How come there are now 200,000?"
Zhou Mi said, "Hey, big brother, they must be newly recruited. There are people everywhere in the south. My uncle must be recruiting people while fighting. It's even more possible that those people heard that they were Xu's army from the north and came over on their own. With so many people going all the way there and coming back all the way, how could he not recruit 100,000 people?"
After saying that, he remembered something and asked Zhou Guo, "Has the issue in the south been resolved?"
Zhou Guo shook his head. "I don't know. I don't have time to ask. During the meal, I was busy talking about family matters. I didn't have time to ask about these things. My uncle didn't say anything either."
Zhou Mai said: "It's right not to ask. Maybe it's a military secret. My uncle can't tell you. If he tells you, he will be in trouble."
Everyone nodded.
……
After the freeze, most of the people who were stationed outside the village returned.
Zhou Guo began to have people transport the pine mushrooms in the warehouse out in batches to five prefecture-level cities and hundreds of counties in all directions.
The more than one hundred cars that the family had transferred back from various villages came in handy at this time.
All the members of the Haoguo Escort Agency are dispatched.
There are people and vehicles coming in and out of the village every day, and for a moment it can be compared to the spring plowing and harvesting season.
When the villagers saw such a grand scene, they no longer felt jealous.
When the news came back, everyone knew that the general who won a great victory in the south and prevented the King of Chu's army from successfully entering the north was General Zhou. When the Zhou family inquired, they found out that it was really General Zhou from their village.
The whole village was in uproar. Their village was incredible. A great general had emerged!
Suddenly, people flocked to the door, not only from their own village, but also from other villages. This person never stopped visiting the Zhou family from morning to night.
After a few days, the wealthy families who had visited the Zhou family before also sent invitations. They did not mind that the Zhou family lived in the village, nor did they mind that the Zhou family's place was small and did not even have a decent place to entertain guests.
Younger generations came with their own children.
There are many men in the Zhou family. Zhou Mi and Zhou Mai are both old enough to get married. If they can marry their daughter into such a family, wouldn't they be able to firmly grasp the big tree of Zhou Dacang?
What's more, when some people heard that Zhou Dacang had not yet married, they said that their daughter was the most virtuous, dignified and sensible, and was originally the most suitable to be the eldest daughter-in-law, but being the eldest daughter-in-law and the elder was also good.
Once someone starts, there will be more people following.
Instead of holding on to Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi, who have no future, it is better to directly hold Zhou Dacang firmly in hand. In this way, they will be the general's father-in-law and mother-in-law, which is much more reliable than the nephew from the next room.
Li was so happy. She had been waiting for this day for many years!
Fortunately, I didn't just tell him one before. Look at the families who come to propose marriage now. They are either rich or noble. Even the Wang family has sent someone.
She was overwhelmed by the choices. When Zhou Xing was looking for marriage, not so many people came to her house.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s a daughter’s marriage.
In fact, many families in the village also have the same idea. Their daughters are not bad, and their family conditions have improved in the past two years. Although they are not a good match for the Zhou family, Zhou Dacang is old.
People of his age usually have several children.
In the countryside, if a woman is still unmarried at such an old age, unless she is a widow, it is really hard to find a virgin. After all, their child is a girl who has never been married. Can the Zhou family still consider her?
It was a good idea, but before they could even open their mouths, they were overwhelmed by the endless stream of wealthy families coming to them.
There is no need to say anything that has not been said.
Zhou Guo transferred out 90% of the goods in the warehouse, and the rest were left for several nearby counties.
When she came back and saw the situation, she couldn't help but laugh to herself.
Li asked, "Don't just laugh. Come up with some ideas. Look for your uncle and see which girl is suitable. Your uncle is not young anymore. If you delay any longer, he will become a joke."
Zhou Guo said, "Mom, why are you so anxious? Besides, shouldn't we wait until my uncle comes back to discuss this matter? We have discussed this topic so many times. Have you forgotten that he said he would not marry unless the world is fair? If you decide to marry him now, wouldn't that make him a widow?"
Li said, "I know. I told them this, but they all praised your uncle for his righteousness, saying that it was a blessing for their daughter to marry your uncle. I think it's better to marry him first, so that your uncle will have someone who understands his feelings and loves him."
Zhou Guo was not happy. "Anyway, my uncle has the final say on this matter. He is not my eldest brother. If he doesn't like him, he might not come back in this lifetime."
Li sighed, "Why don't you consider your uncle? He's already so old. If we delay any longer, he'll be over 30 years old. It won't be good. What if your father comes back one day? How am I going to explain it to him?"
Zhou Guo was speechless. Why did she bring up her father as well? "You are exaggerating. It's been year after year for everyone, but you are different. You're spending your life in years. Anyway, this is my uncle's big deal. It's useless for you to say anything. He has to nod his head."
Li sighed and said after a while, "You are right. I am too enthusiastic about this job."
After a while, he couldn't help but said, "But these families are really good. These girls are literate, pretty, and well-dressed. The key is that girls from wealthy families are always better at raising children than country women. I am also considering this for my family."
For a family like theirs to be able to marry into a family like this, it must be a great blessing from their ancestors.
Zhou Guo said: "Mom, don't just look at their strengths, you have to talk about their weaknesses as well."
Li rolled her eyes at her. "He's rich, good-looking, and literate. He's much better than people like us. In the past, we couldn't even get a chance to carry his shoes. It's great that he doesn't despise us."
Zhou Guohao: "Yes, but that was in the past. Our family is different now. Not to mention that my uncle is a general at a young age and has a bright future. Let's talk about our family. Our family business is of course just starting now. You may not be able to see it, but after a few years, when the world is peaceful, I will be right to say that we are the richest people in the north. By then, it will be their turn to carry our shoes."
Lee slowly opened her mouth.
Zhou Guo waved his hand and said, "So mother, don't worry. Even if my uncle is thirty years old, he will still be a popular girl. By then, there will be many well-educated and well-mannered girls from wealthy families for you to choose from. This is just the beginning, you still have a lot to choose from."
