Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

During dinner that evening, everyone sat together and started talking about the eldest brother's blind date that day.

The whole family was very happy.

Liu Tiechui, the younger brother, was also happy for his older brother. While eating braised pork, he smiled and said, "Big brother, you're finally going to get married."

My parents will soon be able to hold their grandson.

"Our family has had one happy event after another."

"Second brother, I'm getting married on the eighth day of next month, so you'll probably need to start looking for a girl soon."

Liu Tiezhu said with a smile.

With his marriage settled, his parents will naturally arrange a marriage for his younger brother.

"I……

I don't want to get married so soon!

Let's talk about my marriage next year!

"Right now, I just want to hunt and earn more money."

Liu Tiechui shook his head and said awkwardly.

"Second brother, something's not right with you. You didn't say things like this before."

Didn't you tell me last year how wonderful it would be to have a wife, so that the bed wouldn't be so cold at night?

Our family was poor before, and my grandparents didn't arrange any marriages for us. There was nothing we could do about it.

"Now that the family is financially secure, you don't want to get married anymore?"

Liu Tiezhu looked at his second brother strangely.

"Brother, that was an old idea. People always change."

Liu Tiechui would always glance at Qingge unintentionally when he spoke.

Tao'er saw this and wondered if her second brother really had such thoughts, which was why he didn't want to go on blind dates or meet girls anymore.

She stole another glance at Qingge, only to see her eating with her head down, without saying a word.

"Nonsense! Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. You are not young anymore, it's time to settle down!"

Your parents wanted to help you get married, but they couldn't afford it, and the girls didn't want to marry into our family and suffer.

Now things are much better, thanks to my daughter, things are getting better at home.

Why are you still unwilling to get married?

Liu Daniu scolded his youngest son.

"Second son, tell your mother honestly, do you have a girl you like?"

So he made excuses and didn't want to go on the date.

Liu Tiechui nodded and then immediately shook his head. "Mother, it's not like that."

My older brother just got engaged, so I'm not in a rush.

Liu Tiechui refused again using this excuse, then buried his head in his rice.

Tao'er suddenly spoke up, "Qingge, look, my second brother doesn't even want to get married anymore. Why don't you try to persuade him?"

Qingge looked up abruptly at the sound, "Me, persuade him? Girl, you want me to persuade Brother Iron Hammer?"

"That's right. You and your second brother spar every evening after dinner, so you must be quite familiar with each other."

Even my second brother's parents can't persuade him, so why don't you try to talk to him?

Tao'er looked at Qingge with a half-smile, then looked at her second brother.

He ate his rice, almost breaking the chopsticks in his hand, and started sweating, showing how nervous he was.

As expected, my second brother has a problem...

It's not that he doesn't want to get married, but that he has other ideas, he just doesn't dare to say them!

"Brother Hammer, the girl is right. Now that Brother Iron Pillar has gotten engaged, it's time for you to get married too."

Only then will the master and mistress be at ease!

Otherwise, when you go on a blind date, ask the girl to give you her opinion; she's sure to have good taste!

Qingge hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"Qingge, you don't need to worry about this."

I will get married in the future, but not now.

I'm full, so I'm going to take a walk in the yard.

"Qingge, come over here later, don't forget we still have a sparring session!"

After saying that, he quickly shoveled the remaining rice into his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and got up to leave.

"When did this child's temper grow so bad?"

Miss Qingge, please don't mind!

He wasn't taking his anger out on you!

"Fine, if Hammer doesn't want to get married so soon, then we'll wait a bit longer!"

Zhang Su'e looked at Qingge apologetically and began to explain.

Although Qingge has only been with their family for a short time, she has taken excellent care of the two elders.

They treated the two children exceptionally well, almost always providing them with close protection.

He was also very attentive and considerate to his daughter, Tao'er.

Qingge shook her head and smiled, "Madam, it's alright. That's just how people who practice martial arts are."

"Qingge, when did my brother start learning martial arts from you?"

Tao'er suddenly asked.

"On my second day here, he said he saw that I was good at martial arts and wanted to learn so that he could hunt more easily in the future."

They can hunt more prey and exchange it for silver to support their families.

He also said it would be better to protect you, girl.

So I agreed to teach him.

Why did the girl ask her that question?

Could it be that he's blaming himself?

Qingge felt extremely uneasy.

"Oh, I see."

So what do you think of my second brother's studies?

It's estimated that the two of them practiced martial arts together every day, which made the second brother develop feelings for Qingge.

Although Qingge was more robust than the average girl, she wasn't considered pretty; in fact, one could say she had a somewhat heroic appearance.

But because she is tall, she doesn't look bulky, and her facial features are still quite well-proportioned.

The second brother wasn't as handsome as the eldest, but he was still tall and robust, with a rugged appearance. He and Qingge were quite a good match.

"Brother Hammer is learning quite well. He hunts all year round, so he is very strong and has a foundation in martial arts."

In addition, he is willing to work hard, so he has made rapid progress and now his combat strength is quite high.

"I reckon even taking down tigers won't be a problem!"

Qingge praised sincerely.

"Fighting tigers? That's really impressive!"

Qingge, this is all thanks to you!

Let him learn martial arts from you!

"Don't worry, if you teach well, I'll reward you."

Tao'er thought to herself that her second brother had learned a lot of skills, which would be beneficial to both him and the family in the future.

As for the rest, we'll talk about it later.

"Thank you, young lady. I will definitely teach Hammer Bro well."

"Father, Mother, Little Sister, I'm full. You can continue eating. I'm going to check on my second brother."

Liu Tiezhu stood up and said that he felt his second brother was acting strangely today.

Go!

Try to persuade him.

"I don't know what's wrong with this kid today, he's acting like he's eaten a firecracker."

Liu Daniu waved his hand.

The stables in the backyard!

Liu Tiezhu found his second brother, who was feeding mules.

Seeing his second brother looking sullen, he understood that the boy was hiding something.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have even noticed me standing behind him.

He patted Iron Hammer on the shoulder, "Second brother, what's wrong?"

Something on your mind?

Liu Tiechui didn't turn around, continuing to feed the mule, shaking his head, "Brother, don't talk nonsense, what could possibly be on my mind?"

"You still say no? You've always been like this since you were little. When you're in a bad mood, you just shut up."

Don't be angry. Your parents said that if you don't want to get married so soon, then you don't have to. It's not too late to get married when you've thought it through.

"It's not like we don't have the money to get a wife."

"real?

"Did my parents really say that?"

Liu Tiechui turned around in surprise, his face showing undisguised joy.

"Hmm, would I lie to you, bro?"

But don't be jealous of me after your older brother gets married!

When winter comes, your older brother will have someone to warm his bed, while you'll be sleeping in a cold, freezing bed!

Liu Tiezhu chuckled and teased.

"I won't!"

The blankets I sleep under are all brand new and warm!

It's not cold here!

I'm not talking to you anymore, Qingge is waiting for me to practice martial arts!

You can feed them the rest of the hay!

Liu Tiechui stuffed the remaining fodder in his hand into his elder brother's hand.

Liu Tiezhu looked at the fodder in his hand and chuckled, "This guy!"

Just as he thought…

I just don't know if the girl has the same idea.

Why………
