Xu Xiangdong's sudden interruption stunned everyone, especially the gossiping old lady, who was even more stunned and stopped chattering.

"No one wants to be an orphan. If possible, everyone would like to have parents and relatives."

"Her parents died unexpectedly, and that was something no one could have expected."

"Her relatives, you mean her second uncle and second aunt. Everyone should know what they did. Can they be considered relatives?"

"What's wrong with being bullied and fighting back? Is it any wonder that it is right to allow others to bully you?"

"She's not a shrew, nor is she tough. She just doesn't want to be bullied. What's wrong with her?"

Xu Xiangdong's questioning made the old lady who had been slandering Wen Yulan speechless.

How could she not know that what Xu Xiangdong said was true? She knew it.

But since everyone outside said so, she naturally said so too.

Moreover, she liked Xu Xiangdong as her son-in-law and wanted Xu Xiangdong to meet her daughter, so naturally she could only belittle Wen Yulan.

"I, I didn't, I just heard others say that." She muttered weakly.

Xu Xiangdong's face was serious: "Hearsay is even more unreliable."

Xu Jinning looked at his adopted brother with a little surprise and gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

I didn't expect that her cheap brother has such a positive outlook on life.

And I also agree with Wen Yulan's approach.

I feel that the cheap brother and Wen Yulan are a better match! What they didn't know was that Xu Xiangdong's words against the old lady were not only heard by the people present, but also by someone not far away.

That person is Wen Yulan! Wen Yulan's home is not here, it is still some distance away.

Originally, she should have stayed at home this morning, but she was still nervous and anxious, so she went out for a walk.

She never thought that when she got here and before she even turned the corner, she heard someone saying something bad about her.

In fact, she has heard those words a lot in recent years.

When she first heard it, she was very sad and upset, and even wondered if she had really killed her parents.

She even thought that if her parents could survive, she would be willing to die.

At that time, she was inferior and timid, and was bullied by others.

But then she had a dream.

In the dream, her parents came to see her.

They said they were worried when they saw her like this.

My parents said it wasn’t her fault at all.

Her parents said that they were sorry that they were not able to grow up with her and protect her, but they hoped that she would be strong and brave even if she was alone.

Her parents told her to live a good life, saying that one day, someone would replace them, like her, love her, and take care of her.

And before that person comes, I hope she can take good care of herself and love herself.

After waking up, Wen Yulan burst into tears.

It was also from then on that she stopped being self-deprecating and timid, and learned to stand up and resist, and also learned not to listen to those seemingly plausible words that slandered her.

She wants to listen to her parents and live her own life well.

After hearing those words again, Wen Yulan pretended not to hear them. Perhaps she had become numb to them.

She also learned not to care.

But just because she doesn't care doesn't mean she doesn't long for someone to protect her.

She was hopeful, hoping that there would be someone who would love her, protect her, and defend her like her parents did.

No matter what she did, I firmly identified with her and stood by her.

And now, Wen Yulan thought, maybe she had finally waited for it.

This was the first time someone spoke up for her.

Coincidentally, that was the person she liked.

Yes, it is precisely because Xu Xiangdong is so good that she likes him so much.

At this moment, Wen Yulan strengthened her determination to be with Xu Xiangdong.

Regardless of whether Xu Xiangdong likes her now or not, if possible, she wants to marry him and seek his protection, care and warmth.

As for feelings, you can cultivate them slowly after marriage.

Originally, Wen Yulan didn't intend to show her true face, but now...

She thought that even if she only used her looks, she wanted Xu Xiangdong to fall in love with her and marry her.

Having made up her mind, Wen Yulan turned around and quickly went home.

On this side, Xu Xiangdong and his group continued to head towards Wen Yulan's home.

This scene was not only seen by many people in the Dahe Production Team, but also by Wen Huihui who had been waiting.

Since yesterday, when Wen Huihui knew that Xu Xiangdong would come to meet Wen Yulan today, she has been feeling anxious and upset.

Today, she looked towards the door from time to time. She wanted to know whether Xu Xiangdong would really come to meet Wen Yulan.

To go to Wen Yulan's house, you have to pass by her door.

Wen Huihui didn't expect that she actually saw it.

They saw Aunt Sun and Xu Xiangdong and their group passing by their house and heading towards Wen Yulan's house.

Xu Xiangdong didn't even look in her direction.

Wen Huihui's nails scratched the door, making a harsh sound, and her face became even gloomier.

"She actually went there." Without turning around, Wen Huihui knew that it was her mother who was talking.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Wen Huihui turned around and asked, "Mom, how are you arranging that matter?"

Second Aunt Wen had a smug look on her face and said, "Don't worry, things are going smoothly. I asked, and they don't care who the bride is, or whether she's willing or not. As long as she's a normal woman who can be a wife for the three brothers and give birth to a baby, that's fine."

"Once you enter their home, no one can escape. You have to stay there for the rest of your life."

"Have you agreed on a time?"

"It's agreed that in five days, no matter what kind of marriage that damn girl and Xu Xiangdong are getting, she will have to marry into the Cui family anyway."

"Well, mom, you are amazing."

Wen Huihui's gloomy face finally broke into a smile.

The Cui family really lives in the mountains, and their life is almost the same as that of savages.

Because it was too poor and the mountain roads were too remote, no woman was willing to marry into such a mountain village.

Thus, the practice of sharing wives and buying wives emerged.

That’s right, the 300 yuan from the Cui family was more like money for buying a wife than a betrothal gift.

Wen Huihui thought, no matter how tough Wen Yulan was, she was still a woman after all, and as long as she married into the Cui family, it would be her own decision, whether voluntarily or forced.

But as long as Wen Yulan sets foot in the Cui family, she will never be able to escape.

That's like crying to heaven and earth, but no one will answer.

If you want to get rid of that kind of life, you will only end up dead! Especially with Wen Yulan's appearance, Wen Huihui believed that if the three brothers of the Cui family saw her, they would not let Wen Yulan leave.
