The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 779: Chapter 779 Aunt Fang’s Thoughts Chapter 779: Chapter 779 Aunt Fang’s Thoughts But that was the past, now that they were exiled to Righteous Dao Village, having talent and looks didn’t amount to much.

The matchmaker looked down on their family, thinking that Xiyue marrying into the Fang Family was reaching above their station, even saying that in the past such people only matched with prestigious families’ daughters, Aunt Fang was quite put off by this.

Who doesn’t know their little schemes, isn’t it just because they saw the Fang family doing well now, Aunt Fang working at the Manor, Xiyue able to hunt, Father Fang also able to work, and meat on their table every day, they’re just jealous and want a piece of the prosperity?

Instead, it seemed like they got some great fortune, they don’t even take a good look at themselves.

Upon hearing this, Shu Yu wasn’t surprised at all, knowing people saw her family’s good life and wanted to make kin with the old lady. Naturally, people also noticed the much better-off Fang Family.

Both she and Xiyue were of age to talk about marriage.

In Righteous Dao Village, being so small, the odds of them being targeted were too high.

Aunt Fang continued, “Actually, it’s not just this family, several other families have also been inquiring discreetly. But I see those men aren’t quite up to it, either physically weak or bad-tempered. Looking around, I think Ma Lu is quite good, what do you think?”

Shu Yu, “…” I think, shouldn’t we ask Xiyue and Ma Lu about this kind of thing, asking me doesn’t seem useful.

After thinking it over, she sincerely said, “Ma Lu is indeed a good person and willing to endure hardships. But, Auntie, what does Xiyue think?”

Aunt Fang shook her head, “I haven’t talked to her about it yet.”

If that’s the case, Shu Yu felt she couldn’t give any advice, how could anything progress without the consent of those involved.

Aunt Fang wanted to talk more about Ma Lu, but Wang Changdong came over, and she stopped immediately, focusing on cutting paper.

Wang Changdong saw the paper cuts on the table, picked them up happily, seeing a big bunch, he turned and said to them, “I think these paper cuts are better than those sold on the street, Aunt Fang, why not cut more, I can sell them. The money earned can be used to provide extra meals for everyone in the Manor, and give you a big bonus as well.”

Aunt Fang was startled and then delighted, “Can I? No problem, I can cut dozens more, but it’s the 29th today and tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, not much time left.”

“No worries, just keep cutting, I’ll take these now, and come back for the rest tomorrow noon.”

Aunt Fang nodded repeatedly, she could certainly sell these paper cuts herself.

But first, she didn’t have the connections, nor time to set a stall in town or the county town, and selling through a grocery store or bookstore meant much lower prices, not worth it.

Second, selling them herself would mean buying red paper and finding time after work to cut them. She got home too late, and it wasn’t luxurious enough at home to allow her to work by candlelight.

If Steward Wang sold them, she could cut them right here in the Manor.

The two struck a deal instantly, and Aunt Fang focused wholeheartedly on her task.

Shu Yu had no intention of making money, so continued cutting lucky babies beside, finally finishing as everyone else clocked off.

After registering everyone, she took the paper cuts she had made home.

Little did she know, as soon as she reached her home’s doorstep, she saw two people waiting there for her.
