I always feel like I'm dreaming, like I'm floating when I walk, it doesn't feel real at all.
Especially when you can't see that person you've been longing for, this unease quickly grows and spreads to the very core of your heart.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Nuan saw the door open and hurriedly urged, "Go back quickly, people are here, hide well so they don't see you."
"They're here!" Qian Qing immediately ran back in a panic. "I'm going back right now."
In the courtyard, the three Wang sisters-in-law smiled as soon as they saw the people entering.
The people outside were getting impatient, and the three of them weren't much better off. If they hadn't remembered that they were on the woman's side, they would have rushed over and pulled her in immediately.
With their sister-in-law urging them repeatedly, they started to get anxious too.
Before the matchmaker could speak, Madam Xie said with a smile, "Gentlemen, my mother is in the hall. Please come with me."
The young couple were mutually attracted, so the matchmaker and Jiang Nuan didn't argue. They checked the betrothal gifts, chatted for a while, and set a date. Then, the group prepared to head home.
All of this time, in total, amounted to less than half an hour.
As soon as the crowd left, Qian Qing came over immediately, "Fifth Aunt, they're gone? Did something go wrong?"
“No, the date has been set for the ninth day of the third month. You can stay home and show off your wedding dress during this time.” Jiang Nuan didn’t plan to stay any longer. After saying that, she got up. “I have some things to do at home. You and your sisters can have a heart-to-heart talk. I’m going back to visit you.”
There were more people at work today than usual, and the adults in her family were coming to help out, so Jiang Nuan had to entrust the important task of buying things to her two little boys, Xiao Si and Xiao Pang. She was a little worried about whether the two of them could handle it well.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Aunt Wu," Qian Qing said, lowering her head guiltily. "You and the other sisters can go ahead with your work. I can manage on my own."
I had heard about what my fifth aunt had been doing recently. If it weren't for her status making it inappropriate for her to go out, I would have gone to help her too.
Although my cooking isn't very good, I can still manage to light a fire and wash the dishes.
"It's okay, let them keep you company and talk to you," Jiang Nuan saw through Qian Qing's insincerity and smiled, "With them around, it won't be so boring."
Even though she has become much younger, Jiang Nuan still feels that she can't connect with these young girls.
Honestly, she's not old at all, but her heart is incredibly weary.
After saying that, Jiang Nuan nodded to Qian and left.
Seeing this, Xie quickly followed, saying, "Sister-in-law, please talk to your eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law properly. I'm going back too."
At the village entrance, just as Chief Huang and his group were getting ready, they saw a group of people coming out of the village.
“Father,” the clan chief’s second son said, pointing to the crowd, “come, they’re here.”
His voice trembled with fear.
He didn't want to do such a thing. Not only would he be unable to face anyone if word got out, but he also couldn't afford to offend those officials.
Unfortunately, his father was determined to keep his position, and as his son, he didn't have a single penny of his own savings. If he wanted to live a comfortable life, he had no choice but to go along with him.
"They've arrived?" Chief Huang's eyes narrowed, his expression turning grave. He squinted at the crowd in the distance, and once he confirmed their identities, he immediately said, "Get ready. When the oxcart passes by, just push the two of them across."
After saying that, he gave his third daughter-in-law, whose hands were tied and mouth covered, a warning look, and said, "Third daughter-in-law, you have no choice in this matter today. Whether you like it or not, you have to go. Since you are a daughter-in-law of the Huang family, you have to think about our Huang family. Only when I am well can you have a good life, and only then will my two grandsons be successful."
