Chapter 104 What are you blushing about?

Xiao Man's mother didn't know how she finally got home.

At this time, the matchmaker and the men's side had all left, leaving the daughter alone in the yard cleaning up the melon seed shells that were scattered all over the ground.

She could see that her daughter didn't look very happy, but rather confused and worried.

Women are all like this, they want to marry a stranger and live their whole life with him after just a simple glance. I was also like this at the time, I got married in a panic.

"Xiaoman..."

Hearing the voice, Xiaoman turned around.

"What's wrong with you, mother? You seemed quite happy when you just went out."

Xiao Man Niang: "..."

She couldn't tell her daughter what Doctor Yin and Jiang Wan had just said.

"Nothing, I just felt a little annoyed when I saw your aunt."

As she spoke, she took the broom from her daughter's hand, held her hand and asked, "Xiao Man, the wedding is set today, why do I see that you don't look happy at all?"

Xiaoman didn't expect his mother to ask him this. He was stunned for a long time before answering.

"It's not that I'm unhappy, I just don't want to get married so early and leave home."

"Are you satisfied with this marriage?"

Xiaoman opened her mouth, but she couldn't express her satisfaction. It was already decided, what was the point of saying all this?

It's not like I haven't said this before, but it's my mother herself who said that it's rare to have a boy with such good conditions, and I can't miss him.

"Mother, you have forgotten what I told you before."

Xiao Man's mother recalled awkwardly that her daughter seemed to have complained. She felt that having seven nuns was not good and was afraid of being bullied.

Having too many sisters-in-law is not necessarily a bad thing. Several sisters helped take care of their younger brother, and it was a wonderful life.

This was what Xiao Manniang thought before, but now she kept thinking about what Jiang Wan said in her mind.

Such a family must be extremely patriarchal. If a daughter cannot give birth to a son, the whole family will be very stressed. If they are unlucky, then they will have to give birth to one child after another until they have a son, right?

Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blame her cousin who was pulling the strings. Her cousin must have known what the family was like when she married in the neighboring village, but when she told her about it, she only talked about how good the conditions were and how stable the man was.

In the final analysis, it's because I'm not careful enough.

No, tomorrow she will go to the neighboring village in person to inquire carefully. This may affect her daughter's life.

If the family has a good reputation in the village, the marriage can be arranged. If the reputation is not good, then you have to find a way to break up the marriage.

Thinking of the consequences of breaking off the engagement, Xiao Man's mother was overwhelmed. She didn't want to talk anymore and went back to the house in a depressed mood.

——————————

Jiang Wan silently cracked melon seeds for a long time after Xiao Man's mother left. Yin Huaixi knew what her daughter was thinking, but they were just outsiders, and the few words she just said were already too much.

"Mother, do you think Sister Xiaoman's marriage will be successful?"

"It should work. Breaking off an engagement here will have a huge impact on your reputation. I don't think the Xiaoman family will cancel it."

"oh……"

Jiang Wan pouted and continued to make her wind chimes.

She couldn't interfere with Xiaoman's marriage, but she had to intervene in her cousin's marriage. Getting married at the age of fifteen or sixteen was absolutely not acceptable.

She was thinking about her cousin when she turned around and heard her cousin's voice. She was so scared that she quickly hid the wind chime.

"Aunt, where's my cousin?"

"She's busy in the house. Aning, have you become whiter recently? You look a little different."

Yin Ning originally wanted to go into the house, but when he heard what his aunt said, he was suddenly overjoyed.

"Aunt, you also think I've become whiter? My mother said the same thing."

What little girl doesn't love beauty? She got so tanned from being in exile all the way. She would be happy for a long time if she could get a little whiter.

"Cousin, I also think you have become whiter. It must be because you stay at home embroidering and don't go out. I have to learn from you and take care of myself recently, otherwise I will become a black girl."

Jiang Wan touched her face as she spoke. She was indeed a little darker than her cousin. You could tell the difference by just looking at the water surface without looking in a mirror.

"Cousin, why are you willing to leave your embroidery behind and come to see me today?"

"Look at what you said."

Yin Ning smiled like a flower.

"I came to ask my aunt something today."

As she spoke, she took out two things from the small bag she carried with her.

"Aunt, I want to dye the fabric recently. Yinzhu gave me these two things, saying they can be used to dye blue and yellow. They look like medicinal herbs to me, so I wanted to bring them over to show you."

When Yin Huaixi saw what was in her niece's hand, her eyes lit up.

“It’s bluegrass and turmeric!”

Indigo plant can be used for dyeing, and its root can also be used as medicine, which is the isatis root well known to modern people.

Turmeric is also a very good Chinese medicinal material. It can promote blood circulation, promote qi, warm the meridians and relieve pain.

These two medicinal herbs were not in Yin Huaixi's medicine box, so he was very envious when he saw them.

"These are indeed good medicinal herbs. Aning, did Yinzhu tell me where she picked them?"

Yin Ning shook his head.

"She didn't say. I'll go ask her later."

"Okay, then tell me when you're done. I'll pick some when my foot is healed."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and the same is true in reverse. Jiang Wan could tell at a glance that her mother had been itching to death.

"What are you waiting for? I'll go ask her now and pick some for you first."

Jiang Wan grabbed her cousin and ran away.

When the two arrived at Yinzhu's house, Yinzhu and Xiao Jinbao were feeding the chickens and ducks.

As soon as Xiao Jinbao saw the two people, he called out sweetly.

"Sister Aning, Sister Xiaowan, please come in and sit down."

The little guy walked over with his two short legs and brought a stool to the two sisters. The two sisters laughed.

"Little Jinbao is getting better and better. I almost want to take you home as my little brother."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinbao immediately hugged his sister tightly.

"Don't scare me, Sister Xiaowan. I am the only man in the family. What will I do if you take me away?"

All three girls laughed at once.

Jiang Wan quickly apologized: "Sister Xiao Wan said the wrong thing. I meant to say that I also want to have a brother like you."

Xiao Jinbao is not afraid now.

"It's not easy to find a brother like me. I'm the only one in the village."

Jiang Wan was happy. It was really fun to talk to Xiao Jinbao.

She had forgotten about the important matter, but Yin Ning had not forgotten. While her cousin was playing with Xiao Jinbao, she turned around and started talking to Yinzhu.

"Silver Pearl, where did you get the dyeing grasses and roots you gave me? We want to go get some more."

It was just an ordinary sentence, and Yin Ning felt that there was nothing wrong with it. But Yin Zhu's face gradually turned red after hearing this.

Yin Ning: “…”

Did she say something wrong?
