Originally, Liu Tou estimated that Sanniang was a girl of sixteen or seventeen. Although Taiwan advocated late marriage, it was not mandatory. Although girls would get married later than the Tang Dynasty girls, they would not be more than eighteen. Therefore, Sanniang should get married within this year. As long as Hu Han heard that Sanniang was about to get married, he would probably have lost his thoughts and avoid any random thoughts.

However, what Liu Tou didn't expect was that when Lao Wang heard Sanniang's marriage, his old face turned dark and slapped the table with some angrily and said, "Hi~, don't mention it, Sanniang had already promised my fellow villager Liu family to be his wife. The Liu family came to Taiwan half a year earlier than us. It happened to be a good time. He opened a restaurant to make a fortune. Now he is considered a rich family. However, after the boy of the Liu family got money, he saw the world and was very dissatisfied with Sanniang's marriage. In the end, he actually told his parents to quit the marriage. I agreed in anger. So Sanniang still has no in-laws' family, which has become a heart-wrenching illness for me!"

Lao Wang was heartbroken. Sanniang wiped her tears when she heard this, but Hu Han was furious. Liu Tou and Li Zhi all looked at Hu Han with strange eyes, thinking that this kid was so lucky. He fell in love with a girl who was getting engaged, but he didn't expect that the other party's in-laws had quit. This was a match made by heaven!

However, Liu Tou asked immediately: "Old Wang, this is your wrong thing. Both the Tang Dynasty and Taiwan laws have clear regulations. If you withdraw from a marriage without reason, you will be punished. If one party firmly disagrees, you will still get married. Why don't you rely on them when you go to the government?"

After hearing this, Lao Wang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no matter what, my father and I are also fellow townsmen. We had suffered hardships together at the beginning, and they still knelt in front of me and begged to break the engagement. I don't want the two families to turn against each other. Besides, since the Liu family boy looks down on Sanniang, even if he forced himself to marry, he will end up suffering, so it's better to just forget it!"

When Liu Tou heard this, he felt it was reasonable, so he could only shake his head helplessly, and then comforted Lao Wang a few more words. Li Zhi and the others cursed the Liu family, saying that they were blindly ignorant. While Hu Han cursed the Liu family, he was secretly happy in his heart. At the same time, he used his courage to touch Liu Tou with his shoulders, his eyes full of pleading.

Liu Tou also felt that Hu Han was really destined to be with Sanniang, so after thinking about it, he spoke to Lao Wang again: "Old Wang, I feel sorry for Sanniang, the girl named Liu is not good at it, but we can't delay the marriage of our daughter. What kind of son-in-law do you think you want to find? I'll pay attention to it. Maybe we can make a good marriage even if we can achieve it?"

Lao Wang also knew that Liu Tou had a wide range of people, so when he heard that the other party was willing to help Sanniang pay attention, he was also happy and said: "Actually, I have no requirements. As long as the other party is of the same age as Sanniang and has no bad habits, of course, the most important thing is that Sanniang is willing, and there is nothing else to say."

When Hu Han heard Lao Wang's request just a little, he wanted to stand up and beg Lao Wang to promise his Sanniang to himself. However, as soon as he moved, Liu Tou glared back. Then Liu Tou smiled and said to Lao Wang: "Old Wang, your requirements are too low. You are not a big catch of such a son-in-law. If you don't say anything else, how about Hu Han?"

Lao Wang was stunned when he heard this, probably not expecting that Liu Tou would propose marriage on the spot. He reacted a while later and turned his head to look at Hu Han. In fact, he had a good impression of Hu Han because that night was the first move by Hu Han, which shows that the other party's young man had a chivalrous heart and certainly no problem with character. But now Hu Han is just an ordinary worker, and he is worried that if his daughter marrys him, he will suffer with Hu Han.

Liu Tou is a personal genius. After seeing Lao Wang's expression, he immediately understood what the other party was worried about. He smiled and said, "Old Wang, you don't know. Hu Han is the smartest among the boys under my command. He has now finished the literacy course arranged in the factory and is willing to make efforts to work. The factory is ready to arrange for him to study at the Navigation Academy. You also know that as long as you graduate from the college, all major shipyards are rushing to ask for it. The minimum monthly salary is also dozens of silver coins. You will definitely not treat Sanniang badly at that time."

When Lao Wang heard that Hu Han was about to go to the Navigation Academy, he immediately dispelled his doubts. His restaurant was surrounded by shipyards, so he naturally knew that the Navigation Academy was full of popular talents and respected. If his daughter married, she would have face.

Seeing that Lao Wang had not spoken, Hu Han could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked to Lao Wang, then knelt down and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, although I, Hu Han, don't have much money now, I swear that I will let Sanniang live a good life with me and will never let her suffer any grievances!"

Seeing that Hu Han expressed this, Lao Wang immediately changed his kind expression and said, "Hu Han, that day I saw you first rushed up to help me and Sanniang, and I knew you were a good young man, so I feel at ease with your character. As for you want to marry Sanniang, I have no objection, but I still have to discuss with Sanniang to see what she means?"

Nowadays, children's marriages are obedient to their parents' orders, so when Liu Tou heard Lao Wang discussing with Sanniang, he thought it was Lao Wang's refusal, so he said unhappily: "Lao Wang, aren't you the final decision of Sanniang? What are you discussing with Sanniang?"

Lao Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Liu Tou doesn't know that it was my idea to get engaged to the Liu family at the beginning. Later, the Liu family broke the engagement, and the old woman blamed me a lot. So now I dare not make decisions about Sanniang's marriage. It depends on what she means. Anyway, Sanniang and Hu Han have also met."

After Lao Wang finished speaking, he bowed to Liu Tou and the others, and then went to discuss with Sanniang. The Hu Han who stayed behind was nervous, as if he was a prisoner waiting for a sentence in the yamen.

After a while, Lao Wang turned from the backyard with a smile on his face, "Liu Tou, Hu Han, I had already discussed with Sanniang just now, but Sanniang didn't say she disagreed, but she felt that she had known Hu Han for a short time and didn't know much about his character. So if Hu Han is free in the future, come to the house and chat with Sanniang. We are all from poor families and don't have so many rules. As long as Sanniang thinks you are good, we will get engaged!"

"Thank you... Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Hu Han was so excited that he even stuttered a little, and Liu Tou and the others came up to congratulate him. Although the marriage has not been finalized, Sanniang is willing to contact Hu Han, which means that Sanniang has a good impression of Hu Han. Based on their understanding of Hu Han, this kid's character is indeed good, so there should be no problem with this marriage.
