Chapter 1517 Adopted Daughter 53
"Keep it for yourself. We brought some dry food."
"My cousin made a lot, and we can't finish it. Just wait for me for two minutes."
Yuanchun ran to the kitchen and came out with a small bag in her hand. "Take this and eat it on the way. Have a safe trip."
Xiang Yi took the bundle with one hand, took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket with the other hand, and stuffed them into Yuanchun's hand, "I'll take the food, and you take these banknotes. Buy whatever you want to eat, don't be reluctant to spend them. I will send you twenty yuan every month from now on."
It’s not that Xiang Yi didn’t want to send more, but he was worried that sending too much money would cause big trouble for Song Yuanchun.
There are many people suffering from red eye disease these days.
Xiang Yi left in a hurry.
Yuanchun's life returned to peace.
Two years later, Yuanchun graduated. She was twenty years old. If she had not been still studying, the threshold of her home would have been trampled down by a matchmaker long ago.
Just as she graduated and her diploma was barely warm yet, two matchmakers came to her house, and they came in together.
Both of them were vying to be Yuanchun's matchmaker, and the people they recommended were their own relatives.
Yuanchun was annoyed and said, "Thank you for thinking about my marriage, but I already have a partner. You don't need to introduce me to someone. I don't need it."
"Oh, girl, are you embarrassed? There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Women have to get married when they grow up. I'm not exaggerating, but my nephew is extremely talented and handsome. Standing with you, you are definitely a perfect match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman on earth, absolutely a perfect match."
"Ah, your nephew from your mother's side is idle all day long, and he is lazy and gluttonous. I heard that he broke the hand of a twelve-year-old boy a few days ago. Oh, your little rascal nephew, let alone marrying Yuanchun as his wife, he is not even qualified to wash Yuanchun's feet."
"Mr. Wei, who are you slandering? Your sister's son is not as capable as my nephew. My nephew at least graduated from junior high school, but your sister's son dropped out of school before he even graduated from elementary school. I heard that his sister went to the countryside to suffer in his place. He is a grown man who has nothing to do all day long, wandering around here and there, just like a street urchin."
"Your nephew is a gangster who steals and does a lot of immoral things every day."
"You are the one who is immoral. Your whole family is immoral. Yuanchun is a good girl, but you want to throw her into the fire pit. Tell me, are you immoral?"
The two matchmakers started arguing in front of Yuanchun and exposed each other's shortcomings.
Yuanchun was so angry that her face turned black. "Stop arguing and leave. I have a girlfriend. I am not worthy of your nephews and nieces. You should leave them to other women."
The two matchmakers were reluctant to give up Yuanchun's house and money, and wanted to persuade her, but were threatened by Li Chunlan and driven away with a broom.
Yuanchun finally had some peace and quiet.
She was about to go back to her room to rest when Li Chunlan came in holding a letter. "Yuanchun, there's a letter. It's from Xiang Tuan."
Xiang Yi completed a major task last year and was awarded a second-class merit. After returning, he was promoted and given a raise, and is now a full regimental commander.
Yuanchun took the letter and went back to her room to open it.
He wrote about some interesting things in the department, and also about how he brought back some local specialties when he was on a mission and mailed a package to her.
He also told her that he would send her five dollars more every month so that she would not be stingy.
At the end of the letter, he told her that he had taken leave and would come to the county town to see her in a few days.
