Chapter 49: My Family Doesn’t Want You If You Are Not Enough
Rong He, Bao Ya and the other four children of the Yun family nodded in unison.
What the grandfather with the mustache said was right, and they all thought it made sense.
"Come on, let's go inside and sit down." Zhao Zhilan took Xiao Baoya and greeted Sun Pu and Rong He.
She watched the way the nanny and Zhou Cuihua were talking, and remembered the last time the nanny went to Zhucui Pavilion to buy jewelry, and she almost understood what was going on.
I'm afraid it's the Wang family from the neighboring Heishui Village who have taken a fancy to Chen Xiaojuan and want to take her away to be a child bride for this young master.
Zhou Cuihua was willing to sell her daughter, but that was the Chen family's business and had nothing to do with her Yun family, so she was not interested in this matter.
But before she could take two steps, a shrill voice rang out from behind her: "Auntie, do you have a scale at home? Lend it to us."
When Zhao Zhilan turned around, she saw the nanny who was going to Chen's house was standing behind her, holding the drooling young master.
Zhou Cuihua led Chen Xiaojuan, both with embarrassed looks on their faces, following behind the nanny without saying a word.
"Yes." Zhao Zhilan responded.
If Zhou Cuihua came to borrow it, she would definitely not be willing to do so, but this nanny actually had no grudge against her family, so it would be inappropriate for her to refuse the money just because she came to borrow it.
She turned to go into the house to get a scale, but the maid stopped her and said, "Auntie, we need a big scale, the kind used to weigh pigs."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xiaojuan's face turned red.
"Wait a minute, I'll take it right away." Zhao Zhilan said, letting go of Xiao Baoya and went into the house.
Yun Chenglu stretched out his hand, picked up Baoya and held her in his arms.
Xiao Baoya's sight immediately rose high. Without having to tilt her head upwards, she could see the young master of the Wang family drooling and sucking his fingers in the nanny's arms.
When the young master saw Baoya, he blinked his big eyes, looked at her for a while, and suddenly took out the finger from his mouth.
He pointed at Baoya excitedly and shouted: "Girl!...You look so pretty hehehe..."
Baoya: ...
Chen Xiaojuan, who was standing behind: ...
Yun Chenglu suddenly became alert, holding Baoya and taking a big step back, putting some distance between him and the nanny.
Of course his Baoya is pretty! But what does it have to do with you, a little fool!
The nanny originally liked Xiao Baoya very much. She was a fair and tender little girl with a rosy face. She wore a flowery jacket and a fluffy rabbit hair string. She was lively and had a spiritual aura.
Only a little girl like this is worthy of her young master!
But Yun Chenglu's face drooped and he took a big step back, which made her feel disgusted.
What's so great about it? She's just a little girl from a poor family, why do you have to treasure her so much?
When she grows up, she'll be married and lose money!
She glared at Baoya and turned her head away.
Yun Chenglu was also very angry. It was obviously her silly young master who was ignorant, so why was this old woman glaring at his precious girl?
Are all the rich and powerful people so unreasonable?!
But he was still a child after all, and it was obvious that the woman was not someone to be trifled with. The dark and burly driver was sitting in the carriage, legs crossed, looking towards them. He didn't dare to do anything, so he just puffed his lips and glared back at the woman fiercely.
The nanny was stunned by his glare. She had seen many brats in the village who were barely hairy, all of them terrified at the mere mention of the Wang family, but she had never seen anyone as bold and fearless as Yun Chenglu! He actually dared to glare at her!
"Hey! You..."
"Mammy, second brother."
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Baoya: "Aren't you tired of opening your eyes so wide?"
"My milk will be here soon. Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?"
Madam: ...
She really didn't know how to respond to this.
But fortunately, Rong He quickly took over the conversation: "If your eyes are tired, you can let Grandpa Sun take a look at you. Grandpa Sun is a good doctor and can treat eye diseases!"
Yun Chenglu: ...
Madam: ...
Sun Pu: …???
"The scale is here." Zhao Zhilan was carrying a large scale. As she walked out of the back door, she saw several people staring at each other, looking a little confused.
Finally, someone came to the rescue. The nanny quickly took the scale from Zhao Zhilan's hand and said indifferently, "Thank you, old aunt."
After saying that, he took the scale and walked towards Chen's house.
Zhao Zhilan was completely confused: "What's going on?"
Although Madam Wang always spoke in a sharp tone, her expression didn't seem so ugly when she borrowed her family name just now?
Sun Pu and his eldest brother Yun Chengfu, the only two people present who knew what had happened, looked at each other, feeling helpless.
They said it was borrowed by someone, so they naturally couldn't go back to the house first. Several of them stood at the back door to see what the nanny was going to do.
Then the maid handed the large scale to the dark and strong driver and said, "Zhuangzi, weigh the weight."
The driver nodded, grabbed Chen Xiaojuan with his big hand, and carried her away.
Chen Xiaojuan was skinny and thin, and he held her in his hands like a little chick. He weighed her, then hooked her by the back of her neck and hung her on the scale.
She was also frightened and tried to struggle, but the nanny glared at her and said, "Behave yourself!"
I didn’t dare move anymore.
Little Baoya, who was being held by Yun Chenglu, had her eyes wide open, her mouth opened in disbelief: "Grandma! Second brother, are they going to sell Chen Xiaojuan off?"
Or is it sold by weight? She remembered that only when pigs were sold in the village would they be weighed like this!
Yun Chenglu, who was of similar age, also understood everything. Yun Hua and Yun Yue, like Xiao Baoya, looked at Chen Xiaojuan who was being weighed, and then at Zhao Zhilan in surprise.
Zhao Zhilan was helpless. She rubbed her forehead and explained to the children, "She wasn't sold. She was married to the Wang family and became the daughter-in-law of that young master."
"Marry?" Baoya was a little confused.
"Just like your mother and your father," Yun Chenglu tried to explain to her, "the two of them living together."
"But she's still so young," Rong He beside him also interrupted, "I saw my eldest brother get married, and he got married when he was fifteen!"
"Hey?" Yunyue beside him suddenly shouted in surprise, "Brother, it's already fifteen after the New Year, are you going to get married?"
Yun Chengfu, who was standing behind her, felt embarrassed and was about to explain that a man doesn't have to get married when he turns 15.
Rong He had already spoken: "Silly, I mean men usually marry when they are around ten, not fifteen!"
"Oh." Yun Yue's face fell. She didn't know why the young master of the Rong family would say she was stupid!
"Madam Li, twenty-two pounds and twenty-four ounces." Zhuangzi put Chen Xiaojuan down and said.
The maid peeked at the scales and glanced at Zhou Cuihua. "Twenty-two pounds and four ounces. Remember that. I'll come back to weigh it after the New Year. If it's less than thirty pounds, our Wang family won't accept it!"
The child is almost six years old and weighs just over 20 kilograms, which is too light.
Her young master is about the same age as this girl, almost 40 kilograms. This girl is so skinny that she rolls over when pushed. They can't even play together!
"Oh, I remember everything!" Zhou Cuihua's face hurt from laughing, but her heart was aching.
It's more than seven kilograms. How much food does it need to be fed to grow to that size?
