With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
Chapter 3 Why are you cursing me again?
In recent years, Yu Tingwan was afraid of being kicked out, so she worked hard without complaint. She swallowed the grievances and never yelled like this.
Wang was used to her humbleness and now her anger was rising: "You never tell the truth. You are really capable. Do you still want me to serve you?"
Yu Tingwan pondered: "Okay."
Wang was so angry that she trembled all over. She turned her head and complained to Aunt Wu beside her: "People say that I torture my niece to death all day long. But look at her, aunt, what kind of person she is. She is so arrogant! She even refuses to do the easiest job."
"I don't know which beast spread it, it ruins my reputation!"
Aunt Wu lives next door, how could she not know about the Hu family's troubles. If it weren't for Hu Dazhu protecting this niece, Yu Tingwan would not have lived to this day.
This Wang is intolerant!
When Hu Dazhu is not at home, she tortures her niece to death!
She didn't want to get involved in the Hu family's affairs, so she turned a blind eye and left in a hurry.
Yu Tingwan was afraid of the cold, so she gathered her patched and worn cotton-padded clothes: "The Hu family gave me a place to stay, just like my aunt said, I should repay them in this life."
Xiao Xu had just come out after calming down. She had a bad feeling when she saw Yu Tingwan's gentle eyes.
"But my sister-in-law loves me and is afraid that I can't bear it, so she insisted on working for me."
Xiao Xu:?
Wang frowned: "How can this be?"
The one in Xiao Xu's belly is her grandson!
Yu Tingwan: "My sister-in-law relies on her pregnancy to provoke me all day long, and she also said that she will reflect on it."
Xiao Xu:? ? ?
Dare she say Yu Tingwan is talking nonsense!
No, she doesn't dare.
She smiled stiffly: "Yes, it's my fault."
Her daughter-in-law is an old hand at being cunning and sly. Wang was shocked: "This... shouldn't be right."
"That's what my aunt said."
Yu Tingwan chuckled: "No, sister-in-law, are you sensible for once?"
The walls in the countryside are made of stones and loess. The house she lives in is low and cramped, and the old partitions of the windows can be shaken by the cold wind.
Yu Tingwan returned to the house, and the smile on her eyebrows faded inch by inch.
She had a splitting headache, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she would see the tragic ending.
Since she fell into the water last year and her forehead was injured, she would always inadvertently see some pictures in her mind.
Trivial and incomplete.
But they are all going to happen in the future, and they should have been experienced in her previous life.
Yu Tingwan slowly lowered her eyes, her whole body was cold, and her bones trembled.
The Hu family could not stay.
But where could she go?
Xilin Village is surrounded by mountains, and the only way to go is blocked again.
Even if she leaves the village, aren't there enough cases of bandits robbing girls?
Why did she remember that her aunt would harm her only after her uncle left?
Panic can't solve the problem. Yu Tingwan tried to calm down, but there was only emptiness and endless confusion in her heart.
I don't know how long it took, she sorted out her emotions and went to the corner, holding the clothes she changed last night and went out.
Xiao Xu, who was quite dissatisfied, mixed chicken food and glanced at her casually, unwilling to talk.
But Yu Tingwan stood in front of her, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Xu also had an unknown meaning.
Xiao Xu was stared at by her: "What are you looking at!"
Yu Tingwan blinked and spoke clearly: "Sister-in-law looks a little unlucky."
Xiao Xu: ???
You came here specially to curse me?
Are you sick? !
Why are you cursing me again?
She resented and wanted to scratch Yu Tingwan's face.
At this moment, Wang, who found something wrong, chased out with anger: "Who broke the bowl?"
Yu Tingwan answered: "It was my sister-in-law."
Xiao Xu's breathing stagnated.
She even swayed, and was held up by the instigator.
Yu Tingwan: "Sister-in-law, why are you shaking?"
She did not forget to comfort her frightened sister: "Sister-in-law is a double now, what's wrong with breaking a bowl? As long as you are happy, even if you smash the whole house, your aunt will have to admit it."
Wang's face darkened.
What is this!
Bowls are free!
Is she going to rush to please Xiao Xu?
Xiao Xu was afraid that Wang would blame her, so she hurriedly fled to the backyard with chicken feed.
She couldn't help but scold angrily: "That little bitch really has bad intentions, don't fall into my hands!"
"It was easy to use in the past, but I don't know what medicine she took these days."
With a snap, the wings on her head fluttered, and a bird flew over her head. Xiao Xu looked up and saw something hitting the corner of her mouth.
She raised her hand to touch it and touched bird shit.
Wang picked up the thin bamboo stick to beat people and strode over to deal with her.
"What a sin! You stupid person..."
Xiao Xu wiped the stickiness from the corner of her mouth, looking disgusted. She could no longer care about anything else, shivering: "Mom! That little bitch has been acting weird since she fell into the water!"
Every time she was said to be unlucky, she would really be unlucky!!
The last time she was said to be unlucky, she had inexplicably dense red bumps on her body, and it itched for half a month.
The last time she was said to be unlucky, it was Dalang who was drunk and slapped her.
There was a shadow!
Weird Yu Tingwan walked along the village road, not in a hurry to go to the river to wash.
She couldn't leave, so she had to think of a way to delay Liu the matchmaker first.
There were two willow trees outside Liu the matchmaker's house, which were easy to recognize. She had a clever mouth and could make the dead come alive. People from all over the country were willing to find her to be a matchmaker.
She was heavily made up, and unlike the skinny figure of the country women, she was plump. Her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
She was just worrying about how to report to Mr. Dong, and then Wang came to the door.
Mr. Dong was old, but he was famous for being lustful. After he outlasted his original wife, he turned around and asked for a girl who was pretty and unmarried.
This was difficult.
Families of good-looking girls were reluctant to let their daughters marry old men to suffer. Of those who were willing to marry into the Dong family, the Dong family was picky and disliked the girls because they were not pretty enough.
If the Dong family had not paid a high matchmaking fee, she would have turned against them long ago.
There was no need to make things difficult
for now. The squire would definitely like Yu Tingwan's face!
Matchmaker Liu walked with a breeze, wishing she could make this marriage happen as soon as possible.
On the way to the Dong family, someone had been waiting for a long time.
In the light, the woman's fine and long eyelashes, rosy lips, and white porcelain-like skin were transparent and delicate...
Such beauty made Matchmaker Liu's eyes light up, and she quickly stepped forward to take a look.
"Hey, isn't this your stepmother? She is getting better and better."
Yu Tingwan looked at her steadily and suddenly smiled.
"Aunt is here."
"You've kept me waiting for so long."
Matchmaker Liu was slightly startled: "You're looking for me?"
She didn't think deeply: "But your aunt asked you to come and tell her?"
"Is Aunt still going to the Dong family?"
"Of course, I..."
Matchmaker Liu paused, surprised: "How do you know I'm going to the Dong family?"
She asked tentatively: "Did your aunt tell you?"
Yu Tingwan's eyes were emotionless.
"What did she say?"
"She said that she told you a lot, but there is only one condition, as long as someone is willing to pay a betrothal gift of 20 taels, no matter if it's a human or a ghost, they can take me away?" She
spoke without mercy: "Or is she in cahoots with you, and are the same kind of people?"
