The next day, Lee Qingshan came over with a betrothal gift. He had been collecting things these days. Plus the things he had saved earlier, there were quite a lot of things.

Ten catties of pork, ten catties of mutton, two big fish, a deer, two wild chickens, cloth, and a variety of snacks. Most importantly, there were also twenty taels of silver.

Mr. Su and Mrs. Su were really happy now. It wasn't because he had given them too much money, but because Lee Qingshan really valued Su Zi. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought so much stuff with him.

Mrs. Su had no intention of leaving Su Zi's betrothal gift behind. Other than the meat, all she wanted to do was to add more meat and send it over to Su Zi.

He came alone when they came to deliver the bridal gift, so Mr. Su called him into the room and chatted with him with a smile. Mr. Su was very satisfied with Lee Qingshan now, so where was his intention?

Back then, when Su Zi and Lee Qing were engaged, Lee Qing's mother had given them some things, not even 10% of Lee Qingshan's. And that was it. In the end, they even took it back when the marriage was annulled.

At that time, Mrs. Su was so angry that she directly hit Lee Qing Niang's face.

The other people in the village originally wanted to watch the show, but after seeing Lee Qingshan's bridal gift, everyone felt that it was worth it for Su Zi to marry him.

If they knew Lee Qingshan was so rich, no matter what his reputation was, they would definitely marry their own daughter. Not to mention the gifts he gave them, just 20 taels of silver would be enough for the gift money!

In short, after Lee Qingshan saved Su Zi and engaged Su Zi, he got angry again. Previously, everyone thought that Lee Qingshan had taken advantage of them and Su Zi was really unlucky.

Although Lee Qing was an Elementary Scholar, everyone knew that their family didn't have much money. Furthermore, Lee Qing's mother was a stingy person so getting money from her was harder than killing her.

At this time, everyone remembered that Lee Qingshan was a hunter. Not to mention the money he earned every day, at least he would have more meat to eat in the future.

In short, Lee Qingshan became completely furious, and Su Zi became the target of jealousy and envy for everyone once again.

However, someone mentioned something, "Didn't Lee Qingshan have a tough life, so he was born to be a kamikaze?" That's right, if he was to be killed, then there would be nothing left. Compared to those useless things, life was more important.

If he lost his life, wouldn't all the money he had be in vain? Then he started to sympathize with Su Zi again. Even Mr. Su and Mrs. Su were in the range to be pitied. Who knew if they would move away or not?

There were those who sold their daughters in the village, sending their daughters to the town or county as concubines. The reason why they didn't dare to give their daughters to Lee Qingshan was that they were afraid of not just the family, but also those who were related to each other.

Lee Qingshan was quite handsome and it wasn't as if no one took a fancy to him. However, the elders of his family all disagreed and in the end, they could only look on helplessly.

At this moment, Lee Qingshan was talking with Mr. Su while Su Zi was busy with Mrs. Su in the kitchen. Lee Qingshan looked in the direction of the kitchen without leaving a trace.

It would be the best thing for a son-in-law to be satisfied with his daughter. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about his daughter having a tough time in the future.

Although Lee Qingshan didn't manage to talk to Su Zi alone in the end, this matter was settled so Lee Qingshan's heart was a little bit more at ease.

After this incident, it was a busy season. The sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans, and rapeseed were all ripe at this time of the year. It was also the season of harvest.

This place did not have a lot of water, so there was not much rice. However, most families would grow some dry rice, sorghum, millet, and the like. This was also the time to harvest some.

Since Su Zi was going to get married after she worked in the countryside, Mrs. Su didn't allow her to go down to the ground. If she didn't get suntanned and her skin became rough, then that wouldn't be good.

Su Lan and Su Zi mainly did housework, washing and cooking, and feeding pigs and chickens at home.

Because there was no land in Lee Qingshan's house, he came to help at this time. When they saw Lee Qingshan, they couldn't help but tease him, "Yo, you came to help your mother-in-law." Then he smiled and said to Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, "Old Su, look at your son-in-law. He's not bad. He knows he's here to help."

Mr. Su and Mrs. Su also laughed. To be honest, they didn't expect Lee Qingshan to come and help them, since Lee Qingshan had never interacted with the villagers before. Mr. Su and Mrs. Su thought he wouldn't come down at all, but they didn't expect that he would arrive before them and even brought his own tools.

This time, it was even more enviable. It wasn't as if there weren't any son-in-law coming to work at his mother-in-law's home, but those were all just for a walk. At most, a day or two, because everyone was busy.

Every morning, he would come over early. Since he had the strength to work and was even willing to work hard, this year's old Su Family was completed very quickly.

Lee Qingshan was so active in coming over that even Su Qing, who disliked him the most, started to get close to him. Especially after Lee Qingshan told him about the hunt, he started to worship him.

Mrs. Su had also changed her opinion of him greatly recently. She felt that he was a good kid, capable and steady, older than Su Bai. Therefore, she liked him a lot when she saw him now.

She often asked him if he was thirsty, whether he was hungry, and even asked Su Zi to serve him more food.

Lee Qingshan even brought a lot of the cured meat that he saved, so it was obvious that the quality of life had improved.

On the other hand, he could see Su Zi every day when he came to work. Su Zi and Su Lan would bring food and water in the fields at noon, and sometimes they could even say a few words.

Since they were already engaged, there was nothing to hide, so sometimes Mrs. Su even told Su Zi to send Lee Qingshan off. This was a good time for them to be alone.

Mrs. Su also wanted to let the two of them get along a bit more and get to know each other more, so that they wouldn't have any conflicts in the future.

It was only then that Su Zi realized that Lee Qingshan was not as dull as he appeared to be. In fact, he had his own ideas and opinions.

He would also please Su Zi. He would bring back the wild fruits he found in the fields and give them to Su Zi. Among them, there was a kind of wild fruit called a girl's wild fruits.

Su Zi had eaten at her grandma's house when she was young, and suddenly felt like she was back in her childhood, when her grandma came back from the fields with a full bag in her pocket. When she saw her grandma coming back, she, her older brothers, and her older sisters would run over with their hands outstretched.

This was one of the few sweet moments of his childhood. Back in the city, he was forced by his mother to learn this and that. It was very boring.

Furthermore, Lee Qingshan didn't act like a hunter that didn't interact with others at all. He only knew how to hunt, which was not a derogatory term because he had a comprehensive view of the problem.

Just by the fact that he was able to win over everyone in Su Family while he was busy farming showed that he, Lee Qingshan, was not a hunter who only knew how to hunt.
