Chapter 900: 126 Child gone?

The visitor was not Meng Liangdong alone, but also Mo Sanniang. If it had just been Meng Liangdong looking for Lin Yuan, it should have been about the school, but now that these two were together, Lin Yuan smiled, somewhat grasping the situation.

Especially after seeing Meng Liangdong’s spirited demeanor and Mo Sanniang’s shy, sweet bliss, she became even more certain of her guess. It seemed a series of good events were indeed unfolding.

As expected, Lin Yuan’s speculation was not off the mark, for the pair had come to deliver a wedding invitation to her. It turned out that in the month while she was away from Zhuma Town, Meng Liangdong had asked Old Mr. Cheng to be the matchmaker and personally visited the Mo family to propose marriage.

Even though Old Mr. Cheng had not succeeded in achieving the top imperial examination rank or an official position, he donated half his life to the poor people in the southern part of the city, which earned him some fame in Zhuma Town. With Old Mr. Cheng personally proposing marriage, naturally, the Mo family’s elders were overjoyed. Moreover, they were already very pleased with the trustworthy and reliable Meng Liangdong, so the marriage was settled.

"The eighth day of the eighth month? What a good day!" Lin Yuan said, genuinely happy for the couple after a glance at the wedding invitation.

Mo Sanniang glanced at Meng Liangdong and laughed, "It was Old Mr. Cheng who personally picked the date. My parents said they wanted him to officiate our wedding."

With Old Mr. Cheng’s qualifications, nobody else but he could officiate the wedding.

Seeing Meng Liangdong smiling so broadly his teeth were almost popping out of his face, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but tease, "Mr. Meng, your dream has truly come true, winning the beauty and returning home."

Meng Liangdong chuckled, and his just-relaxed body suddenly tensed up again. Years of discipline had ingrained a habit in him. Even in the presence of the very familiar Lin Yuan, he still subconsciously straightened up.

At first, Lin Yuan was a bit worried whether such a scrupulous man, almost to the point of being pedantic, would really wind up with the bold and straightforward Mo Sanniang. But as it turned out, she was worrying over nothing.

"During Liangdong’s days teaching in the south of the city, the people there respected him greatly; I’ve visited a few times and really liked it there," Mo Sanniang said, tucking her hair behind her ear. Perhaps it was the imminence of marriage, but she seemed to exude a charm that was hard to ignore—gentle, serene, and peaceful.

"We’ve already purchased a house in the southern part of the city. It’s a fine place, just the right size, and after we get married, we’ll settle there."

Compared to other areas, a house in the south of the city was relatively cheap, and with Meng Liangdong needing to teach at the school every day, residing there was indeed more convenient.

However.

"If you live in the south of the city, it’ll be convenient for Mr. Meng, but what about you? Are you not going to run your fabric store anymore?" Mo Sanniang’s fabric store had been open for at least seven or eight years, and it would be a real pity to simply shut it down just like that.

Mo Sanniang shook her head, laughing, "Although my shop isn’t big, it’s something I started from scratch; I’d hate to close it. I’ve already discussed it with Liangdong. After we get married, I will find someone to help me manage the store. And I, will stay at home, happily looking after my husband and teaching our children."

Employing someone to manage the shop was a good idea, saving both time and effort, but the person chosen must be trustworthy.

When Lin Yuan brought this up, Mo Sanniang straightened up and asked, "My dear, you have more experience in hiring people than I do. Do you have anyone in mind who would be suitable? Introduce someone to me, sister."

Hmm, Lin Yuan furrowed her brows, thinking. She really didn’t have anyone particularly suitable in mind. However, as she looked up at Mo Sanniang, she sharply caught a fleeting smile in her eyes.

"Sister, you already have a suitable person in mind and yet you trouble me!" Lin Yuan said, feigning annoyance as she gave Mo Sanniang a reproachful look.

Mo Sanniang chuckled, "It’s not that I want to trouble you, sister, it’s that I’m in a bit of a spot myself."

Seeing Mo Sanniang troubled was indeed a rarity, which piqued Lin Yuan’s curiosity.

"Here’s the thing." Mo Sanniang took Lin Yuan’s hand, saying, "A few days ago, I mentioned hiring someone for the shop to Weiwei. From the look in her eyes, I feel she’s quite interested."

"Did Er Ya tell you that?"

"No, not at all." Lin Wei was still young and didn’t dare to deal in business without Lin Yuan’s approval. Without being sure of Lin Yuan’s thoughts, Mo Sanniang hesitated to speak too confidently, "I could just tell. Don’t let her young age fool you; her embroidery skills are truly exceptional. And whenever there are no classes at the school, she often comes to my shop to learn cutting and dressmaking from me. Her little hands are so adept!"
