Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1386: Chapter 1383: Opinions

Such a person, who holds official career prospects in high esteem, can also maintain a respectful and courteous relationship with his wife.

However, in his family, they would prefer to find a virtuous helper at home. Clearly, their simple-natured daughter did not meet the other party’s requirements, which made her place more importance on Chu Zhang.

While Chu Zhang may not be as scholarly as his cousin, he was naive and genuinely sincere, and having been personally tutored by Lord Chu, he was certainly not so naive as to be taken advantage of.

With such a naive nature, he would treat his own daughter sincerely and not disdain her.

Even if he couldn’t continue his studies and enter officialdom, but needed to make a living, there wouldn’t be any difficulty. Having such a steadfast man to protect her daughter, Lady Yang couldn’t be more pleased.

On the contrary, she was somewhat worried that the man might not take a liking to her daughter.

“Mother, Second Brother Chu has a very good nature,” Yang Shan didn’t expect her mother to ask this and her cheeks turned red, but she still mustered her courage and told the truth.

Lady Yang tapped her on the head, “I asked if you are satisfied, I know his nature better than anyone else. Shan Shan, let me tell you the truth, you have reached the age for marriage. If you find him satisfactory, Mother will give Chu family a reply.”

“Mother, I… I think Second Brother Chu is very good,” Yang Shan’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s, “But, you should also ask Second Brother Chu if he is willing. I… I don’t want to force him.”

She knew Second Brother Chu was a good man, infinitely patient with her, and even considerate of her feelings. Such an excellent man was not lacking in women’s affection. On the contrary, she felt pampered, inexperienced in household affairs, only capable of making simple meals and needlework, with little strength, and unsure of any work she could do. All this made Yang Shan feel undeserving in every aspect.

“Alright, I understand,” said Lady Yang, seeing that her daughter was satisfied, she felt relieved.

After Yang Shan left, Lady Yang started thinking about how to respond to the Chu family.

Just like with the Yang Family.

After Chu Zhang and his party returned home.

Chu Jin had plans to go to Hangzhou.

Chu Zhang found Chu Jin, “Lil’ Jin, I also want to go to Hangzhou to have a look. Can you take me with you?”

“Second brother, aren’t you planning to meet someone? Where do you find the time to go to Hangzhou?” Chu Jin spoke the truth and looked at him with some curiosity.

Chu Zhang’s cheeks flushed, but he managed to stay composed, “It has already been agreed upon, just waiting to get married.”

“So, you’ve decided on the young miss from the county magistrate’s family?” Chu Jin suddenly understood and stroked his chin, “Zhang, you’ve made your decision quite quickly, huh.”

“We’ve made inquiries about each other before, so it’s not so quick,” Chu Zhang explained earnestly, not wanting any misunderstanding.

Chu Jin patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “Then let me congratulate you in advance, Zhang, on your upcoming marriage and wish you an early birth of a noble son.”

Chu Zhang’s face turned even redder, but he didn’t refute it, merely murmured an embarrassed acknowledgment.

“Then tomorrow, I’ll prepare the luggage, and we’ll set out together.”

“Alright, but this time, we might have to stay in Hangzhou for ten days to half a month, Zhang, you should plan ahead.”

“I’ll go to the store and check on things there, you go ahead with your tasks.”

“Alright.” Chu Zhang nodded to show his understanding.

He turned and headed back home.

Madam Wang had just received a letter sent by the County Magistrate and, seeing Chu Zhang return, hurriedly pulled him into the house.

Chu Cai was also called over from the carpenter’s workshop. He sat down in a chair, took a sip of tea, and noticing how excited Madam Wang was, asked, “Is it all settled?”

“Of course, our Young Master Zhang has a reputation for his achievements now, and a good nature besides. The county magistrate’s family couldn’t find fault, and naturally, they are willing to join our families,” Madam Wang said, proudly praising Chu Zhang.
