Su Wanti thought to herself that she was right.
Uncle Su and his family really have bad intentions.
Last time, the original owner seriously injured her uncle's son. How could they forget their hatred so quickly and truly care about her?
The original owner's mother was too kind-hearted and too gullible.
This time she had to let her mother see the true intentions of those people in the Su family so that she would give up completely.
Otherwise, if the other party says a few more words, she will believe it again.
"Oh, this child is shy. She is afraid of strangers. Please don't mind it, Matchmaker Li!" Seeing Su Wanti with a sour face, the aunt hurried forward to smooth things over.
Matchmaker Li's eyes were cold, but she forced a smile. She said to her aunt meaningfully, "Sister, your niece is so beautiful. Just based on her looks, I can introduce her to a good family and let her live a life of luxury. You guys, just wait to receive the betrothal gifts!"
She gently pinched the back of her aunt's hand and gave her a look.
The aunt understood and smiled with great satisfaction.
Matchmaker Li's meaning was very clear. She wanted to tell her that if she accepted the girl, she could sell her for a good price.
Matchmaker Li was found by her aunt through her brothers from her natal family, and she knew all about the matchmaker.
She originally wanted to marry Su Wanti to a county official's family as a concubine, but Su Wanti was ungrateful and injured her son.
How could she swallow this?
She heard that matchmaker Li was secretly trafficking women and forcing them into prostitution, so she asked her brothers from her natal family to find her.
She wanted to sell Su Wanti under the pretext of finding a husband for her.
As long as Su Wanti is sold, they can divide the Susong family's property however they want and use it however they want, and no one can stop them.
Zhang Hehua heard the commotion in the yard and was afraid that her eldest daughter would clash with the people over there again. She barely supported herself and stood up and walked out. Her breathing was uneven, her cheeks were yellow, and she panted slightly:
"Sister-in-law is here? Come in and talk. Ah Wan, go make some tea."
Su Wanti's eyes turned, and she actually became obedient. "Make tea? Okay, I'll be right there."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.
My second brother had just finished making lunch, and a large bowl of cornmeal and wild vegetable porridge was placed steaming on the stove.
He added a ladle of water to the big pot and was about to wash it when he saw his elder sister come in.
The second brother asked hurriedly, "Sister, why are you here? What's going on outside?"
"Let me scoop some boiling water and make a pot of tea." Seeing that there was water for washing the pot in the big pot, Su Wanti directly scooped half a ladle of water with a ladle and poured it into the teapot.
"Oh, right, second brother, do me a favor. Go to the village and find the head of the village. Tell him there's a fight in our family and that uncle and his men are causing trouble again."
The second brother's eyes were clear and innocent. "Sister, uncle is here? I didn't hear any fighting."
Su Wanti said, "Listen to me, if I tell you to go, then go. Go quickly!"
"Oh! Then I'll go!" After the second brother said this, he put down the firewood in his hand, turned around and ran out.
Behind the kitchen was the small thatched house where Shang Xingjian and his friends were hiding.
Su Wanti did not forget them. She took two bowls, filled them with cornmeal and wild vegetable porridge, and took out two multi-grain cakes from the bamboo basket in the cupboard, preparing to send them to Shang Xingjian.
As she walked out of the kitchen, she suddenly remembered that she had said she would bring a cup for him to drink water at noon.
He went back to the kitchen and took out two earthenware bowls and put them in his arms.
Su Wanti looked around and made sure that there was no one near the thatched house. Then she took out the key, opened the door, and brought in lunch and a bowl of water.
Shang Xingjian had nothing to do and couldn't make any sound, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated.
An Jing, who was lying on the haystack, has woken up. His body has recovered to a large extent. His face is now rosy and he looks more energetic.
As soon as he saw Su Wanti, his eyes lit up.
"Thank you, girl, for saving my life." He thanked her softly, his voice filled with excitement and his eyes full of amazement.
As soon as Su Wanti appeared, he felt that this dark little house was brightened up.
In his eyes, the girl was like a bodhisattva, glowing all over.
"Shh!" Su Wanti frowned slightly and quickly put her finger on her lips, signaling them not to speak.
"Hmm!" An Jing quickly covered his mouth tightly with his hands, but his eyes were very agile and followed Su Wanti's figure.
Shang Xingjian was pulled out of his meditation when he heard the noise. He looked at Su Wanti and smiled slightly. He did not have the arrogance of a noble man, but the gentleness of a humble young man.
He pursed his lips, nodded at Su Wanti first, then stood up and took the two bowls of porridge from Su Wanti's hand.
Then he handed one of the bowls to An Jing.
Su Wanti's hands were free, and she took out the multi-grain cake hidden in her arms, and then took out two shallow-mouthed coarse pottery bowls from her arms.
"Yes!" She handed the thing to Shang Xingjian.
Shang Xingjian couldn't help but blush when he saw her taking something out of her chest.
He had never seen such a casual girl...
However, the girl is not embarrassed yet, so why should a man like him be so pretentious?
Shang Xingjian immediately reached out to take the cake and bowl of water, and he seemed to be able to feel the woman's body temperature on his hands.
His cheeks became redder, and he lowered his eyes and bowed to Su Wanti.
Su Wanti didn't pay attention to his expression and only whispered, "No matter what happens later, both of you stay silent and don't go out. Remember?"
"Miss, is someone here to search?" Shang Xingjian's voice was low and rapid.
Su Wanti shook her head. "This is my family matter. I have to deal with two people. Just remember what I said."
Shang Xingjian felt relieved, paused, and said, "Miss, if you need help, you can tell me..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Wanti waved her hands desperately, "No need, I can handle this little thing, don't bother with it, sir."
After saying that, she turned and left.
As soon as the door was closed, An Jing felt that the small room suddenly became gray and gloomy.
"Sir, what is the name of my savior?" he asked in a low voice.
They were afraid of letting the cat out of the bag, so they decided that when they were outside, regardless of whether there were people around or not, they should call Shang Xingjian "Young Master".
Shang Xingjian shook his head, "I haven't had time to ask yet."
An Jing stared blankly at the small wooden door of the thatched cottage. "In the future, I must repay her well."
Shang Xingjian nodded, "Of course."
After Su Wanti left the thatched hut, she went to the kitchen and brought the tea brewed with the water used to wash the pot into the main house.
At this time, Matchmaker Li and Aunt Li were both seated.
Matchmaker Li was talking about something with a lively expression on her face.
