Chapter 93 Erya's Background
"Mother knows you're arrogant, but Erya, what I'm thinking is, we should have a lid that matches the size of our pot. Find someone like Tiezhu, and if he bullies you, I'll beat him, even every day. But if you really want to marry into a powerful family, I can't help you."
"Mom——" Erya's tears streamed down and she was unable to speak.
Her mother didn't blame her for getting into trouble, but she was afraid that she couldn't help.
"If you marry someone above you, you'll swallow a needle; if you marry someone below you, you'll swallow gold. Mother is really worried about your marriages. Daya and you both have more ideas than mother. So sometimes, mother doesn't dare to tell you what kind of marriage you want."
"Especially after the incident between your eldest sister and Tiger Head, I began to reflect on whether I could really judge people."
"So, I don't know what to say now. I just want you to think carefully about what kind of person you'll find in the future. No matter what you choose, I'm your mother, forever."
Erya threw herself into her arms and cried, "Mom, Mom——"
"Don't cry, don't cry." Lu Qiniang patted her back. "Later, take my bottle of rose water secretly. Don't let your elder sister and younger sister see it. I don't need to take anything. You like these, so you can keep them."
"I don't want it." Erya cried, "Mom, this is a gift from Dad. You have to accept it even if you don't like it. Otherwise, Dad won't give you anything in the future."
"Why would I want him to give me something? It's best if he doesn't. I can't sleep if he does me such a big favor."
"My father insisted on giving it to you, not asking for it. You don't know how to use rose water, do you? Let me teach you!"
“No, no!”
Erya finally opened the rose water and applied some on Lu Qinniang's face, neck, and hands.
"Enough, enough, you prodigal son, you treat such an expensive thing as water!" Lu Qin's mother cried out in pain.
"It smells delicious! Try it."
Xiao Yan was in the yard, listening to the noise in the house, and couldn't help laughing.
After a while, Erya came out of the house.
She looked at Xiao Yan at the window, smiled playfully, and whispered, "I knew Dad was eavesdropping."
"Come and sit down." Xiao Yan pointed to the two small stools at his feet.
The light from the room shone through the window, casting a faint halo. All the newly transplanted flowers and plants on the ground came alive.
The Impatiens has no buds yet, and its body stretches out in the wind.
Xiao Yan and Erya sat among the flowers and plants, talking in low voices.
"Dad, you took the responsibility for what happened today just to make me happy, right?" Erya asked.
"That's not right." Xiao Yan said, "That's exactly what happened. Erya, as far as I'm concerned, right is right and wrong is wrong, especially when it comes to you three sisters."
"If I really make a mistake, will you hit me?"
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment.
This question is a bit difficult for him.
"I will punish you. I will make you kneel and write." Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "You are a girl. As long as you don't commit murder or arson, disobey your mother, or make me so angry that I can't control myself, I won't hit you."
"That's good." Erya smiled, revealing two little fangs.
She continued, "Dad, do you know where I come from?"
Xiao Yan pretended to be surprised and teased her, "Isn't she a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world?"
"Look, you don't mean anything at all. I'm talking about the daughter of a noble who was stranded among the people. You knew it was impossible, so you replaced it with a fairy, because that is even more impossible." Arya snorted.
Xiao Yan asked her in return: "Then do you know my background? Erya, my mother is just a maid."
"It's okay to be a maid. I have enough to eat and drink. Although I'm a slave, it's much better than being outside." Erya's eyes were a little dazed. "My father is a gambler. When he loses, he comes home and beats my mother. My mother will roll on the ground and beg him - but when my father leaves, she beats me, even if I haven't done anything wrong."
"Dad, I am just a girl born in the mud, a girl who is not even worthy of wearing a pair of pants."
Erya looked up at the sky full of stars. The Milky Way was as bright as the flickering lights in her eyes.
"I want to live better than others. I want people to envy me because I envy everyone."
She weaved a beautiful dream for herself to blur the unbearable path she had taken.
"I envy my eldest sister so much because her mother loves her. I envy my third sister because her parents know that if they send her to my mother's door, she will have a chance to survive."
Only she was rejected and even cursed by her biological parents.
"Dad, I was bought for three taels of silver. Now I've smashed a rose water worth hundreds of taels of silver, and someone will still tell me the sky hasn't fallen. But that silver could buy a hundred of me. A hundred of me wouldn't even fit in this yard..."
A small, skinny girl with a pale face and a life as insignificant as an ant.
Arya couldn't say any more. She covered her face with her hands, buried her head in her knees, and sobbed.
She was really grateful to her mother and wanted to help her, but ended up making her mother worry about her.
Her life has never been about wealth.
But she really wanted to be away from that cold winter when she had no pants to wear.
She wanted to give her mother the best of everything and let her know that raising this girl was not in vain.
Xiao Yan didn't say anything, letting her cry out the pain buried in her heart.
After all, only a few people are born to be kings, princes, generals or ministers.
The suffering of this family is endless.
Lu Qiniang and Erya are both women from the lowest class who are struggling to make a living.
Fate made them mother and daughter, and together they used their meager strength to fight against the heavy pressure of reality.
After crying, Erya asked again and again: "Dad, if we don't give them the rose water, how can we get the little god back?"
"I'll take you there tomorrow so you can see it with your own eyes and let out a sigh of relief." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Okay! I still hurt from the beating!" Erya said, "I originally thought I'd just let it go after a few beatings, since I was the one who got into trouble. But you said they were deliberately plotting against me, so isn't this beating unfair?"
No, I can’t suffer any loss!
"Dad, you must take me there tomorrow!"
"Well, go back to sleep."
"Okay, Dad, go to bed early too. I applied a lot of rose water to my mother, it smells so good." Erya stood up, with traces of tears on her face, but her smile was bright.
At night, Lu Qiniang and Xiao Yan did get closer.
because--
Ah Huang couldn't stand the smell of rose water and kept sneezing, so Lu Qi's mother put him in the doghouse.
Dog life suddenly feels a little tired.
Those two people were still talking, ignoring it.
They have no heart!
Are you about to get into bed?
