The dream was so wonderful that Bean Sprout laughed out loud.
Aunt Wang kicked the door open, startling Douya. Douya rubbed her eyes and looked up, only to be grabbed by the hair by Aunt Wang and dragged outside, cursing as she went:
"How can you be so shameless? Do you think you can't die without a man? I'll teach you to be so shameless, I'll beat you to death today!"
Bean Sprout was in pain and could only be passively dragged along by Granny Wang. She begged for mercy:
"Mom, let go of me first. Let's talk this out. It's not good if others see us!"
Granny Wang gritted her teeth:
"Now you realize it's bad for people to see this? What were you thinking about before?"
"What did I say? I told you to win over Xiaobaiyang, win over Xiaobaiyang! And what did you do? You pretended to comply but secretly disagreed. You've been working with this educated youth surnamed Tang who was just picking up manure?"
Bean sprouts' defense:
"Mom, I didn't. Tang Zhiqing was injured, that's why I came to take care of him. Don't talk about Tang Zhiqing like that!"
Aunt Wang slapped him across the face:
"Did I give you enough face? Do you think you can tell me what to do?"
"Your affair has become the talk of the town, and your family can't tolerate you anymore. Listen to me carefully: if you can't marry Xiaobaiyang, I'll find a matchmaker and give you 100 yuan to marry someone from the mountains!"
At that time, the bride price in the city was less than 100 yuan. Only poor mountain villages that couldn't afford to find wives were willing to pay a high price to get a wife.
Though it's called marriage, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to traverse. Once you're married into the family, you'll rarely leave and will lose all contact with your family!
Aunt Wang definitely still hopes that Douya will marry Xiaobaiyang, or someone who can help her.
Whether it's a one-off deal or regular assistance, Aunt Wang can tell which is more worthwhile!
Bean Sprout was so frightened she didn't dare breathe; she trembled.
"Mom, I know. I'll go find Xiaobaiyang right now. I'm sure I can find a way to marry him!"
After hearing Douya's assurance, Aunt Wang's expression softened, and she released Douya with a snort.
"You better not try anything funny, or I'll go find Matchmaker Li right now and have her find you a family that can afford the bride price."
At this moment, Douya was conflicted. She looked down on Xiaobaiyang, this little brat, but dared not defy Aunt Wang.
Bean Sprout could only look at Tang Zixuan with hopeful eyes, hoping that Tang Zixuan would stand in front of her and say that he would divorce Bai Yueyao and marry her immediately!
Seeing Wang Da Niang's frantic state, Tang Zixuan wished he could hide himself away.
If he could still walk, he would have already sneaked out!
Seeing the bean sprout staring at him, Tang Zixuan awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth:
"Wishing you great success and that you marry Xiaobaiyang soon!"
Oh dear, if these two companies start fighting, he'll have a good laugh!
Bean Sprout lowered her head in disappointment and went to find Little Poplar, looking back every few steps!
Bean Sprout also knows that her name is Little White Poplar, but Little White Poplar might not pay any attention to her.
She went to find some candy, hoping to use it to lure Little Poplar out.
Bean sprout temptation candy:
"Sugar, go and call Little Poplar to the woodpile next to his house. I need to talk to him!"
Sugar Cube wasn't going. His sister was even poorer than him; he couldn't get a single penny out of her. He didn't want to run errands for free. Sugar Cube was about to refuse when he suddenly remembered his promise to Zhong Wanwan, and he changed his mind:
"Alright, I'll help you this once since you're my sister!"
This bean sprout was so moved that tears came to her eyes, and it had to be her younger brother!
Sugar cubes went to inform Zhong Wanwan that she had sold her sister for two large biscuits and a cup of sugar water, filling her stomach to the brim and ignoring bean sprouts completely.
Bean Sprout waited at the woodpile where it had arranged to meet Sugar Cube, but after several hours, Little Poplar still hadn't appeared. Bean Sprout grew impatient and muttered to itself:
"Is the person even coming? Did Sugar Cube tell the wrong place?"
