Chapter 1379 Broken Engagement 28
There are also some fruit trees planted in the front yard.
There is a cherry tree with small red fruits hanging on it. The owner said, "My grandson has had enough of these fruits and doesn't like to eat them anymore, so he keeps them hanging on the tree. If you like to eat them, you can pick them all."
Cherries, which used to cost nearly a hundred yuan per pound, were not popular in that era and were not as delicious as big apples and pears.
Yuanchun immediately picked a bag of them and ate them without hesitation.
The owners of the house were a kind-hearted elderly couple. They sold the house with great reluctance because they were going to move to the provincial capital with their son and would never come back.
The price the old man asked for was not expensive, it was higher than the market price.
Yuanchun didn't bargain and paid the full amount directly. The old man was very happy. After the house was transferred to her, they left all the things in the house that they couldn't take away to her.
Yuanchun doesn't like to use old furniture that has been used by others.
After the old man moved out, Yuanchun replaced all the furniture in the house with a set that was 70% to 80% new. These were the ones she had used in other small worlds before.
She chopped up all the furniture left by the old man and used it as firewood.
She packed up all the useful things left by the old man and threw them to the orphanage in the middle of the night. She put the useless things into the space garbage station and burned them all into ashes to fertilize the fields.
I tidied the house inside and out and threw a few cleaning talismans in the house to make the whole house spotless and spotless.
Yuanchun did not tell her good brother about her purchase of a house. She said she would tell him the next time she came to the county town. She cleaned up the house, put in all the missing things, bought a boat ticket, and took the boat back to Xiangqian Village.
At the entrance of the village, I met some villagers who had just returned from fishing.
Someone asked, "Yuanchun, you are back from the county town. Did you go to see Yuandong again?"
"Yuanchun, how is your marriage with the Shen family going? Has it been called off? If it has been called off, there is a good young man here. Do you want to go and meet him?"
"Yuanchun, have you really been abandoned by Shen Guoan's son?"
"Yuanchun, you are already twenty years old. If you don't get married, you will become an old maid."
"Ah, you are pitiful. In order to support your brother's studies, your marriage was delayed."
"Yuanchun, my nephew is about your age and very handsome. He looks very good together with you. I will arrange a time for you to meet him some other day."
"Yuanchun, your brother has a job now and is a government employee, so your marriage won't be too bad. Shen Guoan's son doesn't like you, so you should find a good one. With your brother around, there are many young men who want to marry you."
A large group of aunts and grandmas surrounded Yuanchun, chattering non-stop, all vying to be her matchmaker. It was completely different from the scene in her previous life where they surrounded her and laughed at her for breaking off her engagement.
Therefore, it is very important for a woman to have strong support from her family.
In her previous life, after the news of her breaking off the engagement spread to the village, Shen Yuandong had not yet found a job, and the villagers mocked her for being abandoned by Shen Lin and becoming a woman who could not get married.
In this life, after Shen Yuandong found a job, the news of her breaking off the engagement spread. There were many people who mocked her, but there were more people who wanted to force their own or their relatives' children on her.
Yuanchun smiled and said, "Auntie Ma, your nephew from your mother's side just got out of jail not long ago, right? I remember he was put in jail for gambling and was fined a lot of money."
"Aunt Wang, your sister's son is having an affair with a widow in their village, and the news has spread to Xiangqian Village. Since your nephew likes the widow, why doesn't he marry her and stop causing trouble for me?"
