Chapter 338 Marriage Proposal

"Anan, do you think this turtle can understand human language? If we tell it to lie still, it will stay still."

Baozhu squatted aside, shoveling with a small shovel, grunting as she talked to Anan.

Anan laughed twice.

"It wants to move, but this is not water. There is a mountain pressing down on it, so it can't move even if it wants to."

Especially the pile of vines on the turtle's head, which pressed it so hard that it couldn't even lift its head.

So pitiful.

The three girls were all kind-hearted people, and they were determined to help the turtle, so they didn't mind the effort.

It took three people more than an hour to shovel out the rattan pots that were all over the body.

Although the ivy pots have been basically shoveled away, the places where they have been parasitized have become bumpy. Unless they take the trouble to polish it, the turtle will have no choice but to return to the sea with this scarred shell.

Jiang Wan rubbed her sore arms, went into the cabin, got some water and shared it with the two sisters.

"That's all, we have limited abilities and can only help it up to this point."

The turtle on the deck, no longer burdened by hundreds of pounds, had already turned several circles on the spot, feeling inexplicably excited.

The three men worked together, got a net to cover it, then lifted it up and threw the turtle back into the sea.

Perhaps it really had a spirit, the turtle kept circling around the fishing boat and finally dived into the sea slowly after a long time.

"I don't know if my eyes are blurry, but I actually saw reluctance in the eyes of a sea turtle just now."

Baozhu looked surprised.

Anan reached out and pinched her chubby little face, and laughed at her saying that she was seeing things.

"You must be too tired from shoveling the cane just now and your eyes are blurry. You should rest for a while and I will row the boat."

"No! I'm in good physical condition, even if I draw for another two hours, it won't be a problem!"

The two girls started laughing again, talking to each other.

Jiang Wan cleaned up the remaining broken pieces of rattan pots on the deck and threw them into the sea, then sat down to rest.

In fact, I just cleaned up hundreds of pounds of rattan pots, which I could have taken home to eat. But when I thought about the rattan pots that had been parasitizing on sea turtles, I felt uneasy and couldn't eat them.

She knew that the rattan pot would not absorb the flesh and blood of sea turtles, but she still felt inexplicably disgusted and did not like this kind of parasite.

So let them return to the sea, where they can fill the stomachs of other marine animals.

After all the trouble, Jiang Wan had missed the best time to go to the sea and had no plans to go to the island again.

The tide is about to rise again. It will go away again in a short while. Why bother?

So the three of them went empty-handed and returned to the village empty-handed.

As soon as we got off the boat, we met Auntie Niu. Seeing the three of us looking tired and still carrying buckets, she came over excitedly for some reason.

"Hey~ You three must be so tired, you must have gained... a lot..."

Before Auntie Niu could finish her words, she saw the empty barrel and couldn't swallow the rest of her words.

It was really strange, Jiang Wan was an expert at fishing. She could always get a lot of good things every time she went fishing, so she wanted to come and take a look, but this time she came back empty-handed!

Auntie Niu smiled awkwardly and suddenly slapped her thigh.

"Oh! I almost forgot! Little Wan, a lot of people came to your house just now. They were dressed like the Li people in the mountains. I don't know what happened. The old village chief also came."

Hearing this, Jiang Wan was stunned.

Because when Uncle Li discussed it with A Niang before, he said that he would find someone to go to the city to inform Lord Qin after everyone in the tribe agreed, and he didn't say that he would bring all the tribe members down the mountain.

What happened?

Jiang Wan was feeling anxious, so she didn't say anything to Aunt Niu. She just hurried back with the bucket in her hand.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the courtyard gate, they heard bursts of Li language.

From the sound, I could tell they were some elderly ladies, and they seemed quite happy.

Jiang Wan subconsciously turned around to look at Anan, after all, Anan was the only one here who could understand the Li language.

“Hehehehe~~”

Anan smiled foolishly, causing Baozhu to hit her twice.

"Stop smiling like an idiot. Tell me, what's it saying?"

Anan continued laughing while hiding.

"It's my uncle who brought his clansmen to propose marriage!"

Jiang Wan, who had just stepped over the threshold, stumbled and almost hit the door panel.

Great Li leader, he acts so quickly.

I just agreed yesterday, and he sent someone to propose marriage today without even registering me.

It's really fast...

Jiang Wan was wondering what her mother's reaction would be. As soon as she entered the yard, she looked for her, but she didn't see anyone.

One of today's protagonists, Patriarch Li, was also missing.

Um?

Where are the people?

Jiang Wan was confused, and just as she put down the bucket, Anan pulled her hand and pushed her into the crowd.

She smiled brilliantly and kept introducing Jiang Wan to her tribesmen.

Jiang Wan had obviously been to the Li ethnic group before and met many Li people, but she still wanted to introduce them again.

This time it’s not friend Jiang Wan, but junior sister Jiang Wan, and future cousin.

Isn’t my aunt’s daughter my cousin?

Jiang Wan followed Anan cutely, nodding with a professional smile while looking for Anan's figure.

When I finally saw the old village chief and my aunt and cousin, I discovered A Niang and Uncle Li standing nearby.

At this time, A Niang's face was rosy, which made her look more beautiful than if she had put on rouge. Uncle Li's eyes were like those of a thief, and he couldn't help but glance at her secretly.

I'm old enough, but it feels silly to be in love.

But A-niang seems to like this, and she must be in a very good mood now.

Jiang Wan felt relieved immediately.

As long as my mother is happy, everything is fine.

"Wanwan is back!"

Yin Huaixi calmed down a bit when she saw her daughter. She pulled her precious daughter over and explained subconsciously.

"You had just left for half an hour this morning when your uncle Li came down the mountain with his tribesmen to propose marriage."

Jiang Wan nodded and looked at the betrothal gifts scattered all over the yard.

Eleven wild boars were lying on the ground, probably having been washed, their needle-like bristles gleaming with cold light. There were also several bunches of pheasants tied together, so that it was hard to tell how many there were.

Of course, there are also indispensable medicinal materials, and those bundles of herbs are full of sincerity.

There was also a box and several small boxes on the pharmacy table, which must have contained either money or jewelry.

The preparations are quite sufficient.

Jiang Wan pulled A Niang's sleeve and asked softly, "A Niang, did you agree?"

"I agree, but I have conditions."

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the midnight talk he had with his mother a few days ago.

At that time, she and Uncle Li got married. A Niang was not opposed to it and was willing to get married, but she was very determined to say that she would never have other children in the future.

No matter who she marries, I will be her only child.

Jiang Wan couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, but her heart was filled with joy.

My mother still loves her the most.
