Chapter 50 Daya's Marriage
"Mom, I don't want to marry anyone."
Lu Qi Niang: "Ah?"
I'm asking you to tell the truth, you can't just talk nonsense!
"Mom, I want to adopt a child myself, just like you did. I don't have your ability, so I can just adopt one. Is that okay with you?"
Lu Qinniang moved her lips, madly rejecting in her heart - No, no, that's definitely not possible.
"Daya, if you don't want to go out, then we can still recruit a son-in-law!"
Daya shook her head and said, "Mom, I don't want to marry into the family."
If she marries a son-in-law, what will happen to her brothers if her mother gives birth to younger brothers?
That doesn't make sense.
"Mom, I was already grown up when you and I came back. I remember a lot of things that happened before. Even my mom was a noble lady in the past, so what? And she married the man she loved, so what? In the end, didn't she watch her own daughter being sold off, and was so angry that she died?"
"Daya, don't think about that. Let's not think about it anymore. It's all in the past. Your mother will be happy to know that you have grown up now and are so well-behaved and filial."
Daya's mother did something wrong and eloped with her husband, breaking off ties with her natal family and ending up in a miserable state.
Daya's uncle had a deep relationship with her sister. When they found her, Daya had already come to Lu Qin's side.
Daya's uncle passed the imperial examination and became a county magistrate in Jiangxi. Before taking office, he moved his family and wanted to take Daya with him.
Daya refused to leave Lu Qiniang. Her uncle could not accept her feelings for her adoptive mother, which exceeded her dependence on blood ties. After leaving her a jade pendant, he gradually cut off contact with her.
"Everyone in the world, whether male or female, has good people and bad people. You can't look down on all men just because your father is not a human being."
Lu Qin's mother took a comb and combed Daya's bangs. "Wait until your father comes home. He is very good at judging people. We will choose a good one for you. No matter whether his family is rich or poor, he must have good character and treat you well. Even if he changes in the future, you can come home and I will support you."
"Mom." Daya leaned on her shoulder in a rare intimate manner with a happy smile on her face.
She is happier than her biological mother.
She has a mother who is open-minded and kind, who supports her choices, tolerates her mistakes, and allows her to turn back.
"Daya, tell me what you're thinking. Don't let me guess. I'm not afraid of being tired, I'm afraid you're too stupid to figure it out and feel bad for you. Look at Erya, she's chattering away all day long. Although I find her noisy, I feel at ease. I give her what she wants if I can, and I don't give her what I can't. I know exactly what I want."
"Speak out. There's no shame in saying it. There's no need to keep guessing. For example, if I want to borrow something, I can just go out on the street and shout. If someone has it and is willing to lend it to me, won't they give it to me? If I'm too embarrassed to ask, thinking about being rejected, and thinking about this and that, I'll end up wasting my time and still not be able to borrow the item. What do you think?"
"Yes, mother, you are right, I remember it all!"
Lu Qiniang stopped talking and said with a smile, "I was too busy with work before and didn't have time to talk to you too much. Now that I have some free time, I will talk to you more."
"I love listening to my mother talk."
"Mom loves to hear you talk too, so you should talk to her more."
A stuffy person is always more worrying.
"good."
Just as the mother and daughter finished discussing the topic of marriage, Xiao came to visit.
If she came by herself, Lu Qiniang would be very welcome.
But when she saw that Zhao, who had come to regret the engagement, was following her, Lu Qiniang was not in a good mood.
Compared with her previous arrogance in breaking off the engagement and refusing to return the betrothal gift, forcing Erya to cry and make a fuss before she took the money back, Zhao's face is now beaming with smiles, as beautiful as a flower.
Xiao, who brought her here, was a little afraid to look at Lu Qiniang.
Lu Qiniang understood as soon as she saw this combination.
Zhao and Zhao the blacksmith are cousins.
Previously, when Zhao wanted Hutou to marry into her family, she asked Xiao to act as a matchmaker.
"Abandoned mother, look, Hutou and Daya are such wonderful children. To be honest, I couldn't figure it out in my mind before, so I was reluctant. In the final analysis, I just couldn't bear to let Hutou marry into my family."
Zhao talked a lot.
"It's different now. We can let Daya marry Hutou. Both children will definitely agree."
"I don't want to." Daya said.
Zhao stood there in a daze, her smile awkward, and she said to herself, "I know you're shy, Daya, it's okay, I'll talk to your mother, you can go out and play."
"I said, I don't want to." Daya stood there quietly, with determination in her calmness.
"You kid—" Zhao's smile could hardly be maintained.
When Lu Qiniang saw this, she knew that Daya had no attachment to this marriage.
But she also didn't want to belittle Hutou, so she said, "Don't talk about whether he's willing or not. When we marry our daughter, we want a betrothal gift that matches her social status. The other party's father must be of the same rank as my husband."
"You are not my biological child." Zhao was anxious.
"Not a biological child, but better than a biological one." Lu Qiniang said.
This time, Zhao said directly to Daya, "Do you believe this? If you do, you're a fool! When Zhang Heyao comes back, he'll be the one in charge. Your mother's words are useless! It was your mother who bought you back on her own initiative. Whether Zhang Heyao recognizes you or not is up to you."
"You don't have to worry about it. Go back and earn some dowry for your son." Daya said lightly.
Seeing she couldn't gain any advantage, Zhao angrily pointed at Daya and said, "You've been so stubborn. I'll wait and see what kind of wealthy family you can marry into. You've got a chicken feather stuck on your butt, and you think you're a phoenix. Bah!"
"I don't agree with the marriage. Why are you scolding my daughter instead of me? Do you think you can bully my daughter at will because she's not your biological daughter?" Lu Qiniang sneered and reached out to grab Zhao's collar. "I've tolerated you for a long time!"
She picked him up like a chicken, and amid Xiao's panicked voice, she walked out and threw him at the door.
"roll!"
A green shadow ran over and supported Zhao who was lying on the ground.
Lu Qiniang took a closer look and found that it was a tiger head.
"Ouch," Zhao said, lying on the ground, unable to get up. "Lu Qiniang hit someone, Lu Qiniang hit someone! She hasn't even become an official's wife yet, but she's already acting like one—"
She made up her mind that if the marriage failed, she would extort some money from Lu Qiniang.
In short, today's trip cannot be in vain.
"Mom, that's enough!" Hu Tou shouted harshly.
He was in the voice change period, and when his voice rose, it became a little hoarse and raspy.
"Stop embarrassing yourself! I told you not to come, but you sneaked in behind my back! My dad is a high-ranking official now, and you're thinking of taking advantage of me. Why didn't you do it earlier? You've done the worst, and now you're making such a fuss. If you're not ashamed, I am!"
"You evil creature!" Zhao stood up and slapped Hu Tou in the face. "Who am I doing this for?"
"We have to save face for everyone!" Hu Tou said loudly.
He glanced at Daya, and there was an unconcealable embarrassment in the boy's eyes.
"Not me, I didn't, I—I left."
After saying that, he stood up, turned around and left without paying any attention to Zhao on the ground.
Zhao burst into tears and made a fuss, "My good son, his heart has been seduced by a vixen..."
Lu Qiniang said to Daya, "Go find the village head and tell him that someone is causing trouble at our door."
She doesn't have to do it herself, someone will help her.
