Huang Zhaodi was stunned by Aunt Zhang's beating, but dared not fight back. She turned her head and tried to act pitiful towards Da Niu in the yard, but Da Niu didn't even look at her. So she could only turn her head back and look at Aunt Zhang with a wronged expression.
"Auntie, you, you've gone too far! How could you hit me for a poor girl you picked up? I'm a girl from a good family."
"Whether you're from a good family or not, what does it have to do with our Zhang family? Besides, after February, you'll be my Zhang family's daughter-in-law. If I hear you say anything that insults her again, don't blame me for being rude to you. Get out of here and stop loitering around my door and getting in my way..."
The reason why Aunt Zhang was so ruthless towards Huang Zhaodi today was because she was extremely annoyed by her.
It turns out that a few days ago, after the floodwaters receded, Huang Zhaodi came to the Zhang family's house. She said that she had nothing to do at home and felt that she had caused trouble for Aunt Zhang's family because of what happened last time, so she came to help Aunt Zhang's family clean up as an apology.
Although Aunt Zhang had a bad impression of Huang Zhaodi's mother because of the previous matchmaking incident, she didn't have a bad impression of Huang Zhaodi herself.
On the contrary, he hoped that this girl could get along well with his childhood sweetheart, Erhuzi. Now that he heard that she had come all the way to apologize, his impression of her improved. However, he did not let her in, but told her not to blame herself and let her leave.
Who would have thought that after that day, she would come almost every day, waiting at the Zhang family's door. Whenever she saw Aunt Zhang and the others returning from outside, she would greet them as she did today, offering to help carry their baskets and hoes. However, her gaze would always occasionally drift towards Da Niu, and she would deliberately say things that could be misunderstood when Er Yue was there.
"What? Thank you, Brother Da Niu, for stopping her mother when the two were looking at each other. Otherwise, her mother would have definitely made a big mistake..."
"What? When the two of you met that day, you felt that Brother Da Niu was a good person, someone you could entrust your life to..."
Hearing her say such things and seeing her seductive appearance, as if she wanted to seduce her eldest son, Aunt Zhang realized that she had really misjudged her. This girl was no good. Fortunately, her son wasn't interested in her. However, in order not to let Er Yue, her future daughter-in-law, misunderstand, she simply chased her away.
To my surprise, she came over again today, and dared to scold my future daughter-in-law right in front of me.
In Aunt Zhang's view, her "foolish son" had finally fallen for a girl, and the girl was so well-behaved and sensible, so she naturally couldn't let her suffer any grievances.
Seeing Aunt Zhang's fierce and menacing appearance, Huang Zhaodi was so frightened that she took several steps back. However, she was unwilling to leave just like that, so she couldn't help but shout loudly again.
"Brother Da Niu, Brother Da Niu, please come and help me! Your mother is about to beat me to death..."
While Da Niu was still worried about whether he had hurt Er Yue, he heard a sharp voice from the doorway. He frowned and looked in the direction of Aunt Zhang.
When Aunt Zhang saw her son approaching with a frown, she felt a chill in her heart, thinking that her son was really bewitched by this little vixen. Just as she was about to raise her hand to slap her again, she heard Da Niu speak impatiently.
"Mother, it's too noisy. Quickly chase them away, don't scare Little Sister Eryue..."
"Alright, Mother will send you away now. Quickly help your little sister Eryue into the house, lest she be frightened..."
In February, she was already blushing with embarrassment because Aunt Zhang had said she was Zhang's daughter-in-law. Now, hearing that Aunt Zhang had Da Niu help her back, she felt her face burning even more.
So before Da Niu could speak again, he whispered something and went back to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks. Then he turned around and jogged back to the kitchen. Da Niu saw this and quickly followed him.
"I, I, I'll help you..."
Huang Zhaodi wanted to shout a few more words, but before she could speak, everyone in the yard went into the kitchen. Unwilling to give up, she wanted to go into the yard, but before she could even lift her foot, she saw Aunt Zhang swinging a broom at her. Seeing this, Huang Zhaodi had no choice but to turn around and run away, but her eyes were full of resentment.
Actually, when Huang Zhaodi saw Aunt Zhang's big courtyard and Da Niu with his handsome features, she began to waver. In this flood, Er Huzi's house was not only destroyed, but Er Huzi's leg was also broken by the house. He did not receive timely medical treatment, so he will be able to walk with a limp for the rest of his life.
It was for this reason that Huang Zhaodi went to Zhushan Village again. She saw that Zhang's house was not only intact, but even the chickens and ducks inside were fine. Seeing those chickens and ducks, Huang Zhaodi's mouth watered. She then had a plan and waited at Zhang's door every day.
The blush on Eryue's face had just faded a little when she carried the bowls and chopsticks into the main hall. When she looked up, she saw Aunt Zhang smiling at her, and her face began to turn red again.
"Auntie, why are you staring at me like that...?"
"February, you are a good girl, and your aunt likes you very much. Of course, your aunt believes you can also feel it. Da Niu also likes you very much. So your aunt wants to ask you if you agree to be our Zhang family's daughter-in-law. Of course, if you don't agree, your aunt will not drive you away. Your aunt will just consider it as raising another daughter. If you want to get married in the future, your aunt will still give you a dowry..."
Da Niu, who was standing to the side, had just heard his mother say that she liked Er Yue. Before he could even feel shy, he heard his mother say that she would raise Er Yue as her own daughter and marry her off. He hurriedly spoke up.
"Mother, Mother, what are you saying? You, you already have two daughters, why do you still want another daughter? What will I do if she gets married..."
However, the last sentence was spoken too softly for Aunt Zhang to hear. But Er Yue, who was sitting next to her, heard it clearly.
In fact, after spending these days together, Eryue could naturally sense the Zhang family's thoughts, and she was even more grateful to Aunt Zhang's family. Of course, besides gratitude, there was also a little bit of attraction.
Yes, it was love at first sight. In fact, deep down in February, she was attracted to Erniu.
February felt that the man who saved her in the rain that day was her Prince Charming. What woman wouldn't want to marry her Prince Charming? Therefore, when she heard Aunt Zhang's words, she nodded gently.
“Auntie, I, I agree…”
