Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 174: Marriage (Part 1)

Around the time of the Yin hour, bustling sounds came from Shen Qinglan’s courtyard.

The sound of people talking and the cries of livestock rang out.

Shen Qinglan leaned against the head of the bed holding a quilt, her eyes unfocused, her expression vacant.

The room was dim, but outside it was brightly lit.

The shed had been set up during the day.

Now was the time for slaughtering the livestock.

"Qingzhu, hurry and get someone to bring out the ginger and garlic."

"Where’s the basin?" someone shouted, "Get me a large basin."

"The hot water’s ready, bring the chickens and ducks over."

"Where’s Mrs. Shen? Quickly get someone to bring the vegetables."

...

The people in the courtyard were almost dizzy with busyness, sometimes looking for people, sometimes looking for basins, making quite the lively scene.

Shen Qinglan didn’t know how long she sat there dazed, only until the door was knocked did she slowly get out of bed.

"Qinglan, Qinglan!"

It was Dong Yao knocking on the door.

Shen Qinglan put on her clothes before opening the door.

Dong Yao came in, took her hand, and said, "Your mother and aunt will be very busy today, and people from the Jiang Family will come today, so be a good host for your aunt, okay?"

Shen Qinglan nodded.

"Good girl!" Dong Yao tidied her hair and continued, "Go wash your face to wake up."

Shen Qinglan nodded again.

After Dong Yao left, she sat for a moment before getting up to wash.

"Qinglan, come here and help your eldest cousin."

Just as Shen Qinglan finished washing, she saw Shen Qingfeng beckoning her over.

She moved her limbs a bit, then walked in Shen Qingfeng’s direction.

"Help your eldest cousin move this pig over there, your second cousin and I need to get some water."

As soon as Shen Qingfeng finished speaking, Shen Qingning frowned and scolded, "Are you crazy, brother? So many people, why did you call Qinglan? How can she possibly carry..."

Before Shen Qingning could finish, he saw Shen Qinglan already grabbing the pig’s legs, effortlessly lifting the hundred-pound pig to the butchering spot.

Shen Qingning: ...

What on earth had he missed these days?

How could even the frail little cousin effortlessly lift a pig?

Shen Qingfeng patted his shoulder and said, "Let’s go, the water’s urgently needed."

At this time, the Yingyang River was already frozen, so they had to go to Shen He’s house for well water.

"Wow, the little girl is quite strong!"

The butcher was also surprised to see Shen Qinglan bring a whole pig by herself. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Shen Qinglan put down the pig, washed her hands, and then didn’t know what to do next.

Mrs. Lu waved her over and called, "Qinglan, come and peel garlic with your aunts."

Knowing that Shen Qingju was getting married today, Dong Zhong’s family had arrived early last night.

Dong Jin’s marriage was originally on schedule, but because of the flood, the house was still being rebuilt, so it had to be postponed until spring next year.

"So this is Qinglan, huh?" someone asked with a smile.

In the courtyard, the women’s eyes were all on Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan didn’t like the feeling of being watched, but out of courtesy, she couldn’t just turn and leave, so she let them gaze at her.

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Haven’t seen you for months, getting prettier!"

"Aunt Hu."

Shen Qinglan called out to her, finally squatting down beside Mrs. Lu, silently peeling garlic.

"The third girl is fourteen, right?" a woman asked with a smile, "Has she been betrothed?"

"Not yet," Mrs. Lu replied with a smile, "She’s just fourteen, it’s not too late to talk about it after she comes of age next year."
