She hadn't expected Wei Aiguo to be worried about her. Song Yan's tone softened a bit. "Educated youth are all outsiders who are easy to bully. A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. Now that I'm married to you, I'm the grass near your burrow. Those people will have to think twice before they do anything."
That makes some sense. Wei Aiguo: "Next time you want to send something, I'll send it to you, so you don't have to resort to the underworld."
Song Yan: "Okay! I'll cut the grass myself tomorrow!"
Today, Jiang, the educated youth, came, and Song Yan heard the gossip in the village! It's not enough to just cut enough grass to feed the cattle every day; you also have to cut extra to dry and store. Carrying so much grass back would be a struggle for Song Yan's small frame. "Then you just need to cut one bundle every day. I'll deliver the rest for you."
It was indeed Wei Aiguo who was helping her, and Song Yan thanked him. But it was impossible for her to plan a long-term relationship with Wei Aiguo. Apologizing and saying nice things before were just expedient measures.
Song Yan admits that Wei Aiguo's character is decent, both from the book and from her current observations. If nothing else were amiss, Song Yan could accept such a husband. However, with the female lead's halo around him, Wei Aiguo will likely fall in love with her sooner or later. If Song Yan treats Wei Aiguo well now, taking care of him wholeheartedly, and then Wei Aiguo falls in love with Li Yuanzhao, even risking his life for her, what would she be then? But if Wei Aiguo were to one day unleash his beastly nature… then Song Yan hopes to have a child, and then, when Wei Aiguo falls for the female lead, she'll kick him out. Song Yan has always desperately wanted a child, someone to keep her company.
So Wei Aiguo was merely Song Yan's temporary protector, and even that was leaky. Once the whole village saw that she had taken care of Wei's mother's leg injury, it wouldn't be easy for Wei Aiguo to criticize her. Given the child's rescue, the villagers probably wouldn't do anything to her even if she divorced Wei Aiguo. If Wei Aiguo could listen to advice, Song Yan still planned to try to persuade him to join the army, so he could avoid Li Yuanzhao. With the female lead's halo around him, she believed Li Yuanzhao would be safe and sound. And when Wei Aiguo returned from the army, perhaps they could even develop their relationship.
After spending these few days together, Song Yan still hoped that Aunt Wei's family, Jiang Xiaoxiao, and Lao Han were all doing well.
