Down the slope.
Following Qin Zheng's instructions, Erdanzi blocked Li Xiuying, who wanted to follow Qin Zheng up the hill, with one arm. Li Xiuying was so angry that she cursed Erdanzi.
She finally found a chance to enter the house with Qin Zheng, and anyone who blocked her way was her enemy.
"Er Danzi! I advise you to get out of my way right now. My son is on good terms with you, so I won't hold it against you. Otherwise, just wait until I get home, and you'll see how I complain. Do you believe I can make sure my son doesn't help you get rich!"
Tsk, threatening again.
Erdanzi let her yell and curse, then chuckled slyly, "Auntie, are you used to threatening people with Brother Zheng's name? You threatened Sister-in-law Ye Yun just now, and now you're threatening me? Does Brother Zheng know what you're doing?"
Li Xiuying's face turned pale, and she subconsciously looked towards Qin Zheng on the slope.
She knew that this would displease Qin Zheng.
"You heard what Brother Zheng just said, right?" Erdanzi said bluntly, not giving her a chance to react.
Li Xiuying frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Do you know my second uncle? He just turned sixty this year. Last year, he drank too much and fell, leaving him with a limp. Now he wants to find an old woman to do his laundry and cook. Do you want to go with him?"
"What?!"
Li Xiuying was shocked, her eyes widened, and she stared at Erdanzi with a look of horror.
Erdanzi chuckled, "Auntie, Zheng-ge just told me that if you dare to refuse to be his mother, he might actually acknowledge you as his son. I just don't know if you can bear the consequences. You can't just eat the Qin family's food for free. He'll marry you off to my second master as your son!"
After saying that, Erdanzi winked and smiled, saying, "Second wife, from now on we're family!"
Li Xiuying was speechless.
It took her a long time to recover from the news, and she spat at Erdanzi's face.
Caught off guard, Erdanzi's face turned ashen, and he raised his hand to wipe the saliva from his face.
"Pah!" Li Xiuying cursed angrily, "You little bastard, Erdanzi! I'll never be your mistress! Does your second uncle, that old widower who can't find a wife, even deserve me?!"
Everyone in Blackwater Village knows that Erdanzi's second uncle is a notorious villain!
He became a widower not because he was unlucky, but because he killed his new wife with a bottle the day after their wedding!
He served twenty years in prison, and after his release, no matchmaker dared to arrange a marriage for him. He became a reckless old bachelor, spending his days drinking and stealing chickens and dogs. His old teeth were sparse and yellow, and his breath smelled so foul it could kill people.
Qin Zheng actually wanted her to marry such a wicked old man? Impossible!
Enraged, Li Xiuying shoved Erdanzi away, gritted her teeth, and pointed at him, cursing, "You little bastard, you've learned to scare your old mother! I'm Zhengzi's own mother, how dare you!"
"I said it."
Suddenly a voice came from the hillside, and one sentence made Li Xiuying's expression freeze.
Li Xiuying looked up in astonishment.
Ye Yun also turned her head in surprise to look at the man beside her, raising her eyebrows slightly.
Qin Zheng put his arm around her waist and nodded.
Ye Yun, "..."
Wow, filial piety brings great strength.
Qin Zheng had already turned to look at Li Xiuying. He stood on the high slope, coldly looking down at Li Xiuying, and repeated as if afraid she couldn't hear him: "Just as he said, if you dare to insist on being my mother, I dare to marry you off. Why don't you try?"
Li Xiuying opened her mouth.
"Zhengzi, you can't..."
"Erdanzi, go and invite your second uncle later. Tell him that the Qin family has a marriage proposal they want to make with him." Qin Zheng instructed Erdanzi before she could finish speaking.
Erdanzi, his face ashen from being spat on, immediately nodded and said, "Alright, I'll make sure my Second Master enjoys some good fortune!"
Li Xiuying angrily retorted, "How dare you!"
"Why wouldn't he dare?" Qin Zheng scoffed. "Since you're so eager to be my mother, you'll have to contribute to this family. Master Zhang is a man of strong emotions; if he knew you were going to marry him, he would be overjoyed and would come to pick you up right away, wouldn't he?"
"Absolutely!"
Erdanzi slapped his thigh, grabbed Li Xiuying's hand, and said, "Auntie, my second uncle has been looking forward to getting married for a long time! He's been kicking chickens and dogs all these years and is already tired of it. He's just waiting for you to come in so he can practice his skills! If he knew you were going to marry him, he definitely wouldn't let you run away!"
"Oh right, do you remember he also bought a really thick dog leash before?"
"Back then you even scolded him for having too much money to spend! But I've seen that chain. I've seen him use it to tether his dog, and then whip the dog with the belt, making it howl and scream, but the dog still couldn't run away!"
"I can't take it anymore, I'm getting more and more agitated!"
Erdanzi was no longer satisfied with just holding Li Xiuying's hand; he pulled her towards home.
"Let's go, Auntie! I'll take you directly to my second uncle, so he won't have to come pick you up personally. If he gets tired or angry, he might not know his own strength when he hurts you!"
Li Xiuying turned pale with fright.
If Zhang Lao Er, that old widower who can't find a wife, were to actually marry her, he'd probably chain her up and beat her every day!
"No! No way! The Guo family has something to do, I have to go!" Li Xiuying was so frightened that she pushed Erdanzi away and ran away.
That figure from behind seemed to be hiding a wolf.
Behind her, Erdanzi pretended to be anxious and slapped his thigh loudly, shouting, "Auntie, don't run away! Aren't you supposed to be Zheng-ge's mother?"
Li Xiuying fell flat on her backside.
She didn't care about anything else, scrambled to her feet in a flurry, and fled towards the brigade where she was staying at Lao Guo's house.
Bah! Let whoever wants to be a mother have it!
She wanted to be Qin Zheng's mother so she could enjoy a life of comfort with him, not so she could be a beaten old woman for a widower who had killed his wife!
