Chapter 364: Cousin's Thoughts

The news from Kyoto was just a small episode. Jiang Wan took a bite of the melon and threw it aside.

There was still a house under construction at home, and she was asked to go and take a look from time to time.

If nothing unexpected happens during this expansion, she doesn't plan to break ground for another ten years, but of course she'll have to keep a close eye on it.

And now everyone in the village knows that she is expanding the workshop, and they all want to know who the new recruits will be, so the house is never at peace every day.

Finally, the old village chief called everyone over, and the house finally became a little quieter.

"Mother, the New Year is coming soon. What did Uncle Li say?"

"He probably won't be able to celebrate the New Year with us."

Yin Huaixi still feels a little regretful, but since he is still the clan leader, it is understandable.

"During the New Year, they have sacrificial ceremonies and group hunting. In addition, they are still building houses on their land. They are very busy and have no time to go down the mountain."

Jiang Wan's eyes lit up when she heard this.

The Li New Year sounds very interesting, but it's a pity that she can't go.

"Then Anan is going back too?"

"Of course I have to go back. Sacrifice is no joke."

Jiang Wan nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder Anan wasn’t very excited when talking about the food prepared for the New Year these past two days. It turns out he can’t eat it.

"Anan will probably be back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. We will only be apart for a few days."

Yin Huaixi put the note she had written into her drawer, stretched her body, and prepared to go out with her daughter.

The mother and daughter were going to give pregnant Song Wenhui a routine checkup.

The pregnancy was diagnosed in October, and now I am more than four months pregnant. In May or June next year, there will be another baby in the family.

Jiang Wan and her cousin were both eagerly looking forward to it.

"When you go over there later, I'll give you a mission."

"Hmm? What mission?"

Jiang Wan was curious about what kind of mission her cousin could have.

"Your cousin is already grown up, so your uncle and aunt want to find a boyfriend for her. But every time they ask your cousin, she remains silent. Your aunt doesn't know what Aning is thinking, so she wants someone to help find out."

Jiang Wan: “…”

As expected, when people have free time, they will find something to do.

Why are my uncles so anxious? My cousin is not that old. Well, in ancient times, she might be old enough to get married, but there is no need to rush.

With my uncle's current status in the village, my cousin will have no trouble finding a husband.

"Mother, what do my uncles think? Is my cousin going to marry someone from the village? Or is she going to marry someone from the city?"

Yin Huaixi paused and looked at his daughter beside him for a long time before answering.

"I haven't heard your uncle ask for that. If it were you, where would you like to meet?"

To be honest, Yin Huaixi liked this village very much, but no matter how much she liked it, she didn't want to marry her daughter to any boy in the village.

She was a daughter who had been pampered since childhood, but now she was marrying a man who could not read or write and could only work hard. The two of them had nothing in common except for the daily necessities of life. She could not accept the thought.

Now she had some understanding of what her elder brother and sister-in-law were worried about.

"Mother, if I get married, it will be almost ten years away. It's still early, and I don't want to add to my troubles. Anyway, just remember that I won't marry far away. We are going to be together for the rest of our lives."

Jiang Wan hugged A Niang's arm affectionately and rubbed her head from time to time.

Yin Huaixi couldn't help but smile, patted her daughter's head and said nothing more. She was indeed worrying too much, her daughter was only thirteen years old, it was too early.

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed all the way to Yin Huaishan's house.

Jiang Wan didn't see her cousin in the yard, so after saying hello to her aunt, she went to her cousin's room to look for her.

"Cousin, what are you doing in the room?"

"I want to go out, but the day is not right."

Yin Ning touched her belly helplessly, and Jiang Wan understood instantly.

My cousin is having her period.

There are no modern little wings here, so when you have your period, you basically try not to move.

Jiang Wan sat down beside the bed and touched her cousin's hand, which was ice-cold.

"Does your stomach hurt?"

"Fortunately, after drinking the nourishing soup prescribed by my aunt, I no longer feel pain during my period."

"That's good."

Jiang Wan looked at the door, and seeing that there was no one there, she whispered about her mission today.

Yin Ning was amused by her little cousin's mischievous expression, but she was so frightened by a burst of laughter that she quickly stopped laughing.

"I'll talk to my mother and the others about this later. Actually, I don't want to get married at all now."

Before being exiled, Yin Ning was a real lady from a wealthy family. She was engaged at an early age and had been waiting to get married when she was old enough.

Later, she was broken off from engagement and exiled to a fishing village, but she never thought about not getting married.

I just think that when she gets older, she will probably marry a village man and stay in the fishing village for the rest of her life, taking care of her husband and raising children.

But as the days went by, she watched her cousin doing well in the village and saw how she had taught many embroidery experts, and her heart began to stir.

It seemed like she could do more than just get married and have children.

She didn't want to be trapped in the backyard for the rest of her life, revolving around her husband and children every day.

She even had a very absurd idea in her mind.

She wanted to be a village teacher like her father, teaching more girls to read and learn other skills. If girls could change their fate by learning to read, she would feel very accomplished.

However, this idea is just an idea for now.

She knew that her cousin had always had this idea, but she had never found a suitable opportunity to bring it up.

It's not the right time yet. Once they have taken root in this village for a longer time, everything will be much easier.

Compared with these thoughts, getting married and having children seem less important.

I believe my parents will understand me...

Yin Ning pulled at the thin quilt guiltily, and decided to talk things over with his parents while his aunt and cousin were around.

With my aunt and cousin present, I think my parents won't get too angry. And my aunt and cousin can help me speak up.

Hehe~

Jiang Wan's scalp tingled, and she always felt that her cousin looked at her strangely.

————————————————————————

(In the main story, my cousin is not with Lian Yue. My cousin has no intention of getting married at the moment, but she does have some feelings for Lian Yue. Because she had very few contacts with men before exile, she was very anxious after exile to the fishing village. Lian Yue happened to save her at this time, and he is also good-looking, so it is normal for her to have a good impression of him. Now my cousin is focused on building a career, and Lian Yue is also focused on making achievements in the oyster business, so there will be no emotional exchange for the time being. As for whether there will be a sequel, it depends on the needs of the little cuties. If you want to read it, I will write it, if you don’t want to read it, I will leave it blank and let everyone imagine it.)
